My BF is "missing online access." I have DX12 off. IDK why I can't get online.

[foggy shadow]

@scarlet grotto try to login on Origin and perhaps restart game. It can also be issues with origin servers, like last week during Anthem demo. Check EA help on Twitter for info

[scarlet grotto]

@foggy shadow Worr#3957 it is the origin access trial. Loads of people have had this problem. I tried what they said and also what the customer support said. I just am getting frustrated.

[lofty light]

Have you downloaded the full game?

I recall if you download part way it only provides the SP

[minor turret]

Pretty sure origin acess trial is limited to offline 1 mission due to hackers.

[lofty light]

Oh lol

That's pretty useless then

[steep gust]

Its limited to servers that allow it

Which is none in BFV since no custom servers

ay boys

Not asking much of the kit but sitll

[lofty light]

I have a Kingston ram set that's 2400 but is meant to XMP to 2666, and it doesn't seem to want to go

[steep gust]

Man why does my motherboard have to fail to post 5 times before it goes to safe mode

Like I know my RAM ain't stable if it doesn't train / post on the first attempt

Dont bother with 4 more tries

[buoyant rover]

@steep gust this is a setting

[scarlet grotto]

@minor turret I have not seen anywhere say this.....

@steep gust also @ing you cuz idk where you found this

[steep gust]

by experience

From playing BF4 / BF1 on trials

They changed in it BF4 to not allow you on most servers with trials due to hackers over running the game

[scarlet grotto]

Then why can other people with BFV trials play it online.

[steep gust]

They might have found a server that lets them

or they are paying $5 more for premiere

[scarlet grotto]

10*

There are no rented servers in BFV I thought?

Also i can do online in fifa 19

[steep gust]

Fifa 19 doesn't have the hacker problem BF has

and no rented servers on BFV

[scarlet grotto]

Yeah, this literally sounds made up.

Why would others be able too

[steep gust]

Source on other players?

https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/161231/battlefield-v-missing-online-access

They found fixes that didn’t work for me

[steep gust]

Have you tried contacting support like half the people are saying to?

We are not tech support

[scarlet grotto]

3 times

All 3 gave different answers

[steep gust]

or have you tried not using a trial? You have to ask yourself how much effort 10 hours is worth

idk about Origin's refund policy, but it should allow you to refund if you don't like the game within a few hours

[scarlet grotto]

It is from origin access so it would not be worth it. Plus I get bF1 and BF4 for the next month for 1 buck

(OA is having a deal rn)

I heard bad things about BFV so I am worrying if it would be worth it

[steep gust]

I found it stale

[jaunty sonnet]

Think it’s 24hrs for a refund after purchase

@steep gust @scarlet grotto

[latent light]

we have an old computer with a Cyrix CPU lol

[golden swan]

Minimum ram for bfv is 12gb?

[jaunty sonnet]

i run on 16gb

[steep gust]

8GB at a minimum

It'll run like shit and hit a pagefile semi often

But it'll run

[latent light]

what matters the most is dual channel RAM @golden swan

[golden swan]

Yea i have 8gb of ram and i can only play 16 player modes without lagging. If it's 32 or 64 player modes then I'll omly get 30-40 frames and sometimes evem lower.

[latent light]

do you have 1 or 2 sticks of ram in your pc

[golden swan]

1

[latent light]

that's the problem

1 stick = single channel

[jaunty sonnet]

Have 2

[latent light]

which means half the bandwidth of dual channel

[jaunty sonnet]

Also if that fucks up for some reason you have another to rely on

[latent light]

@golden swan if you get another stick of ram, preferably the same brand as the one you have, you will see great improvement in performance

[golden swan]

Alright, thanks

[latent light]

you want to see a video on the difference for BFV?

[golden swan]

Sure

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP8udDXeJPc&

about 50% improvement

[golden swan]

Okay, thank you

[latent light]

and that's just 1x8GB vs 2x4GB

2x8GB would be even better

[steep gust]

It would have been leagues smarter to be 2x8 and 1x16

and he controls the timings (at least tCL, tRCD / tRP, tRAS, CR (not a timing shh), tWR, tRFC, and tREFI)

Since your motherboard can decide to do dumbshit for no reason

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl5DQVmXbR0

this videos shows 4x4 > 2x8

on a Ryzen 5 2600X

this video is wrong

"Four sticks is faster than two because there are twice as many ranks per channel. The memory controller can interleave data across ranks or perform a read on one rank while performing a write on the other rank."

idk what to believe anymore lol

[steep gust]

Reading his comments

He has no actual idea about memory

dual rank dimms do perform slightly better than single rank, but not by a real world amount

and it has nothing to do with dual channel and is seperate

Also with dual rank, the other memory chips are not accessible when its writing to the one

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/amd-radeon-pro-ssg-pairs-vega-with-2tb-of-memory/

the Radeon Pro SSG pairs 16GB of HBM2 ECC memory with 2TB of NAND flash storage plugged into a pair of M.2 ports for extended memory support.

[steep gust]

and I can buy dual rank 8GB sticks and get the same amount of 'ranks' are single rank 4x4GB

So the dude is really talking shit

That GPU is server only

Since no consumer workloads would support it

[latent light]

it has M.2 ports on it

weird

[steep gust]

AMD's SSG API allows application developers to let the GPU talk directly to the 2TB of on-board SSD storage, bypassing the CPU, PCIe bus, and system interface, which can create bottlenecks

[latent light]

that's neat

wonder why it costs that much though

probably cost under $1000 to manufacture

[steep gust]

16GB of HBM2 ECC memory

and 2TB of NVMe

• API

[minor turret]

enterprize subsidizes consumer goods often

[dusty swift]

is anyone else having issues since the update?

I have been having this problem with bfv. And i thought it was just the game but when i purchased bf4 the same lag is happening. Using the perfgraph command i can see that the cpu is peaking when the lag spikes occur. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/253762689640300544/540194580260454440/unknown.png

Im pretty sure my computer can run this game and can definitely run bf4. It would be great if anyone can help.

@grand maple your temperatures ok?

that fucking frametime spike that goes all the way to the top of the screen though

@grand maple I also hope you have dual channel memory, having only 1 stick of RAM affects BFV performance greatly, especially on Ryzen

good is relative at that price point, you're not asking for good, you're asking for cheap and not terrible

[grand maple]

@latent light i have dual channel and temps are normal

[minor turret]

@grand maple i have r5 2600 at 4.25 ghz and the CPU is the reason for the dips. That said, I am going for 144 hz gaming

which the 2600 is not sufficient for

3533 cl 16-18 ram

Also that city map is absolutely dreadful on cpu

i dont know if its the destroyable buildings but i get like 30 fps lower on that map

vs other maps

[viral ibex]

When is DLSS going to be supported in BFV?

[grand maple]

@minor turret hmm fps is fine on most maps i was thinking of getting the 2600. I heard the X version is the same pretty much

I was told i should oc my cpu to at least 3.7

[minor turret]

Its all about how many frames you are aiming for

1600 is fine for 60 fps

[grand maple]

yes but the dips

[minor turret]

Need ram specs

[grand maple]

im getting over 60

[minor turret]

Enabled xmp?

[grand maple]

ram is 2400 mhz

16 gb

dual channel

hyper x pretty sure

[minor turret]

Timings?

2400 is a bit low for modern games tbh

[grand maple]

it was for my kinda budget build

but works fine for most modern games rn

except battlefield -.-

[viral ibex]

When is DLSS going to be supported in BFV?

[latent light]

Could take months for it to be added

[jaunty sonnet]

What's DLSS?

[viral ibex]

Deep learning super sampling from nvidia for RTX GPUs

[worldly ibex]

Can someone help me. I got the game yesterday and it keeps forgetting all the settings and binds. It keeps making me play the first episode over and over

[latent light]

repair the game

files are probably corrupted

[worldly ibex]

@latent light ok I’m doing that now Ill let you know if it works. Thanks

It’s odd if so because I got it like less than 20 hours ago.

did not work wtf

Its literally just AA but slightly weaker

[coarse nimbus]

@steep gust so how would you access a hard drive to copy data from if it doesn't let you boot into windows

[steep gust]

is the HDD dead?

There is software to read from dead HDDs as long as its not super dead

[coarse nimbus]

It's spinning

[steep gust]

bad sata cable?

[coarse nimbus]

Basically my computer was acting weird.. noticed one of the four partitions was like blank again

So I threw in my new drive to copy shit to and now it's not letting me boot into windows with the drive connected lol

And I've tried different sata cables to in... running it off my other storage drive cable that I know was just working

I fucking hate this evga board for the bios... can't figure out how to start it in safe mode lol

But it works off the stupid windows recovery automatic thing but that isn't even coming up with the drive in place

[steep gust]

🤷

I only have SSDs

[quasi sparrow]

man G305 is the best mouse i've ever used

[quaint topaz]

G502

[latent light]

my friend wonders if his RM750X will handle a Radeon VII and future 8-core 7nm Ryzen CPU

he doesn't plan on overclocking

[steep gust]

Should be fine

as in he might

[latent light]

he's probably going to buy the Radeon VII when it comes out

[steep gust]

might pull 400w

[latent light]

and hold it aside until computex

[steep gust]

I kinda want to see how the Radeon VII faces off agaisnt the 2080

[latent light]

it's going to be worse in GameWorks titles

[steep gust]

So the like

5 that do

I don't own Witcher 3, Divison, Fallout 4, or GTA5

Which are the games that use important features from GameWorks

[latent light]

what's weird is that Division is gameworks but division 2 isn't

[steep gust]

because its not very useful tbh

[latent light]

witcher 3 uses gameworks but amd and nvidia trade blows on that game

[steep gust]

Hairworks is worthless

[latent light]

for example. RX 580 and gtx 1060 performing equally

hairworks barely made a difference in detail lmao

like you could only see it if you zoom in on geralt

[quasi sparrow]

didn't like G502 @quaint topaz too big and heavy

wireless meme is actually fantastic

[steep gust]

I love my G502

Wish I didn't have to deal with the stupid logtiech software tho

[latent light]

I thought logitech had better software than other brands

especially razer and corsair

[lofty light]

LGS isn't bad at all

The Corsair software is godawful

[steep gust]

iCue is annoying but I don't want to be forced to use a dumb piece of software

pls just work with Aura Sync and move on with your wannabe RGB ecosystem

[quasi sparrow]

Logitech software for their non-gaming hardware is good

LGS is good enough i guess

[latent light]

why do some M.2 SSDs have a tip like this

and some like this

are they both compatible in the same slot?

[steep gust]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2#Form_factors_and_keying

and no

[latent light]

M.2 2280

[steep gust]

Some sockets support B+M

Some don't

For example, M.2 modules with two notches in B and M positions use up to two PCI Express lanes and provide broader compatibility at the same time, while the M.2 modules with only one notch in the M position use up to four PCI Express lanes; both examples may also provide SATA storage devices. Similar keying applies to M.2 modules that utilize provided USB 3.0 connectivity tldr

[latent light]

wanted to know if the Crucial 1 TB M.2 2280 MX500 would work on a ryzen board

[steep gust]

Which board?

Should be fine

[latent light]

Asus X470-Pro

[steep gust]

Most motherboards have at least one SATA / PCIe M.2 slot that supports B+M

AMD Ryzen™ 2nd Generation/ Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics/ Ryzen™ 1st Generation Processors : 
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 storage devices support (SATA & PCIE 3.0 x 4 mode)```

You are fine

[latent light]

he was going to choose between these 2

I told him to get the M.2 because no cables required

[steep gust]

M.2 is generally superior

I might add an NVMe drive and moving SATA drives is a lot faster, so I won't be buying M.2 until I get more slots

[latent light]

that crucial M.2 isn't NVMe, it's the same speed as the SATA III SSD

but the M.2 slot is more convenient

because no power cable and no sata cable

and it's the size of a stick of gum

[steep gust]

ye

[molten bramble]

@coarse nimbus Not following, what was the ping about again?

[quasi sparrow]

M.2 is a lifesaver if you have an mITX PC

two less cables makes a world of difference

[coarse nimbus]

@molten bramble about wanting to put a boot up my hard drives ass

[molten bramble]

Haha

Is it giving you problems again?

[coarse nimbus]

yeah, perhaps it knew I was going to put in the new one just to test

basically 1/4 of the partitions had its Usage bar disappear, and then I wasnt able to access the disk management page, unplugging it solved the issue but then after trying to hook up the new one and transfer data....the processing before the transfer happens was going

really slowly, but then eventually the drive was preventing windows from even booting into the OS, just sat on the mobo screen again like it was doing before

[steep gust]

So its dying

is your bootloader on it?

[coarse nimbus]

this conversation is eerily similar to last week now

[steep gust]

Probably

but if it is you need to fix your windows install before you can't even boot

[coarse nimbus]

well if I unplug it like it is currently its all fine

the drive was installed after windows, and i made up 4 partitions

[steep gust]

Ah

[coarse nimbus]

so that wouldnt have anything on it?

im running my os of my new m.2

[steep gust]

Can you merge the partitions?

[coarse nimbus]

and this 1tb hdd is just a storage drive basically

in the disk management?

it wasnt even letting me access that page so I doubt i could merge them

I was doing some cursory searching trying to find shit about hard drives not letting windows boot up etc, but most of that seemed like that was implying it was the OS drive

although I did see something about using a installation disk or usb drive, to boot into the windows installer, and then going through the advanced options -> opening up the command prompt -> opening notepad -> then going to the file explorer page, and I guess you can copy and paste from there?

[steep gust]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[buoyant rover]

@steep gust Why NVMe?

[latent light]

NVMe is a better option if you find a good deal

like if you find an NVMe drive that costs only $10-20 more than a SATA of the same capacity, it's worth it

[buoyant rover]

rare to be the case

[steep gust]

Because somethings i do benefit from NVMe

and because why not :^)

[buoyant rover]

most people I see buy NVMe and when I ask for why they say "Oh I want my games to have good load times, OH and boot times!"

and I

[steep gust]

I don't understand boot times

[buoyant rover]

fun fact

NVMe doesn't help fucking at all in those two categories

[steep gust]

My monitor takes longer to turn on than my SATA installed windows

[latent light]

also, M.2 SATA SSD > SATA 2.5" SSD for the convenience of no extra cables

[buoyant rover]

On the other hand as grim said

SATA M.2 is cheap af

and often the same price

as 2.5"

[latent light]

like I said before, M.2 2280 Crucial MX500 is the best value you can get

[steep gust]

I have samsung SSDs right now

but I would recommend something like an MX500 for budget builds

[quasi sparrow]

970 EVO is NVMe and it's like $0.25/GB rn

which is a good price

[buoyant rover]

I agree with Grim

$74 for a 500gb drive often

[steep gust]

I paid like

$0.1/GB

for my 860 evo

I would not spend double for NVMe

[latent light]

Crucial MX500 is currently $0.11 per GB

970 EVO is $0.26

or $0.25 for the 1 TB version of the 970

[buoyant rover]

I've seen $114 for the 1tb MX500 before

[latent light]

same

it went on sale around christmas

[quasi sparrow]

tfw paid $300 for a 850 EVO M.2

years ago ofc

[latent light]

Crucial MX500 offers the best price/GB for M.2 on PCPartPicker

[quasi sparrow]

MX500 isn't a bad performer either

clear #2 pick to Samsung products

[latent light]

#1 pick for budget builds

nope

i just bought this razer kraken pro v2

i tried it on my phone the mic was fine

its only on pc @ornate shale

[ornate shale]

hmm...maybe the 3.5mm or usb jack, whatever it's attached to, might not be firmly in the computer is my prediction

I'm no good at troubleshooting since I don't have that model ;_;

I just use it to read timings but still its annoying it don't work

[pallid silo]

hello there guys how comes my cpu temps are keep going up and down with nothing running but steam and discord?https://i.imgur.com/WCZWOrO.png

[steep gust]

load changes

that only looks like its going up like 5C so its fine

Hmm so it seems like dual 2080ti on chillers can do 8k BFV at like 80fps

[molten bramble]

My God... I don't understand the problems with this board's wifi interface.

It goes down randomly for no reason. No other device on the network does. I tmakes no sense.

[latent light]

can it get hot?

my old wifi adapter would get hot and would get slow

I even unplugged it and put it in front of a fan sometimes

[molten bramble]

It's pretty chilly in this room and it's an on-board with a shitton of fans.

The antennae goes from out the back ports to a mounting position on the wall. I don't think it's getting too hot.

I have enough signal pumping from the main and repeaters as well that I saturate the entire block.

[latent light]

yeah it can't be cooling problem then

sometimes built-in wifi on motherboards can be bad

but since you have a high-end Z390, it should be good

unless it's defective

[molten bramble]

I sure as hell hope not.

I'm running a 300-ping from the fiber modem to see if I drop any packets

at 200 and nothing so far, been searching around for the Intel AC 9450 data, apparently some people have issues at 5Ghz

That may be the problem, trying at solely 2.4Ghz to see what happens

at 250 pings so far without a drop

27 wifi devices on this net, this is the only one that has issues.

well, wifi and ether combined

[latent light]

that's quite a bit of wifi devices

maybe network congestion?

[molten bramble]

Most are ether and inactive until used, some are perpetually on. Only network congestion I had was the hall camera at one point, but I disabled that feed.

[minor turret]

i know the intel chips require a heatsink

god knows how the usb wifi devices manage

[molten bramble]

Since dropping it to 2.4Ghz, no issue so far.

Kinda fucked though.

@coarse nimbus im guessing its a question of how much aluminum and copper they pack on card

8700K is life 😃

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-8400-vs-Intel-i5-8600/3097vs3251

$64.00 difference

https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/buy/pc-system-requirements

[fallen harbor]

i dont think the 8700k is in my country yet

cant find it

theres 9600k tho

is that one better

and its not much more expensive than the 8600

[molten bramble]

That's roughly $10 more than the 8600 and I believe it isn't capped. 3.1Ghz vs 3.7Ghz

Really comes down to what you're wanting to spend $ wise.

https://ark.intel.com/products/134896/Intel-Core-i5-9600K-Processor-9M-Cache-up-to-4-60-GHz-3

You're going to need to run DDR4 with this, not sure what you have now.

https://ark.intel.com/compare/129937,134896

Both are 6-core, but the latter sucks up 95W. What board are you looking at @fallen harbor ?

[fallen harbor]

idk as i said i need recommendations for all three cpu, mobo and psu

[molten bramble]

Okay, and you're looking to spend what?

[fallen harbor]

the prices in my country are ridiculously different so

idk what to say really

i can only speak for local currency

transforming it into usd wont solve it

i want something around mid-high tier

not nasa pc level

the cheapest possible mid-high tier pc

the gpu i have is a r9 380 4gb

[molten bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com is a good place to take a look at other people's builds and find similarities to what you want.

Lists what they paid for the build as well.

[fallen harbor]

ic

thnx

[molten bramble]

There looks to be about 40 pages of builds with the i5-8600

And about 7 pages for the i5-9600K

Lowest priced build for the latter is right under $600

Looks like they paired it with a MSI Z390-A PRO

16Gb of DDR4

Not really a bad build to be honest, especially if you liquid cool.

[pallid silo]

@latent light @storm osprey I can get a 1080 for 300 :D

Pounds

[latent light]

what games you gonna play with sli

[storm osprey]

while a good price, idk if the general scaling youll get from sli would make it worth it

which also comes down to personal preference

i would look at an average sli difference and wonder if its worth the cost of getting the gpu

[latent light]

sli does have problems on some games

like artifacts and crashes

[pallid silo]

@latent light does battlefield have good SLI support

[storm osprey]

right, the general consensus was that it wasnt worth it unless you got it cheap

[latent light]

SLI scaling in BFV usually will show 30% higher fps but people been compaining a lot about microstutter when SLI or Crossfire is used

@pallid silo what power supply do you have

if I get 64GB of ram, can I install a 50GB game on it?

[pallid silo]

850w seasonic

[storm osprey]

only if you get a single stick

[latent light]

@pallid silo yeah you could handle two 1080s pretty easily

the thing is, the card has to be the same brand and model as the one you have for SLI to work

well it could still work as long as the Core and VRAM frequencies are adjusted equally

well it's really not the brand that can make them incompatible, it's the PCB

example being if your current card uses a reference PCB but the GTX 1080 you want to use SLI with is a custom PCB, it won't work

[latent light]

Ooooh nice mate!

[coarse nimbus]

yeah that card is crazy lmao

2.5 bay card normal and needs a stabilizer 👌

[lofty light]

Way too much card there, you could fit 3 1070's in there

[vapid pebble]

Wow, that card.....

[latent light]

it costs $1,600

[violet plank]

2 x 8 and 1 x 6 pin for power?lmao

[delicate storm]

Hmm 3 card? for wot?

[lofty light]

Why not?

[sonic osprey]

it really does not need that much power as it can't draw that much power anyways :D

[lofty light]

Well it's made for modding, you can hit the power limit on the double 8 pins if you short the shunts a lot or replace

[sonic osprey]

because I think nvidia is limiting the power limit the 3rd party cards can draw

so in theory with appropriate cooling and power delivery the cards could be clocked higher than what at the moment

my water cooled 2080ti sits at 45-50C and 290W drawn as the max with the sliders without bios modding to allow higher ..

[violet plank]

290W sounds pretty low as cap,not even some high spikes ?

[sonic osprey]

its the reference card cap

[violet plank]

hmm

so a firmwar thing ?

[sonic osprey]

if you check jayz two cents video on the lightning he says exact same thing on the 2080ti reference max power draw

well not sure if there is any hardware limitations, so most likely bios/oc software, though the max voltage is 1.093

[violet plank]

didn't pay too much attention on the rtx series so far,my 1080ti can overclock like it has no limits

did you use afterburner?

[sonic osprey]

yes

[violet plank]

bios limit then

[sonic osprey]

it draws like 1037mV

[violet plank]

that's low imo

[sonic osprey]

with all sliders on max

[violet plank]

maybe the chip just can't handle more

safely

[sonic osprey]

maybe

the oc scanner said +183 is safe "overlock" but it crashed on heaven even at 160

so running +150 atm for 2025

[violet plank]

that's about the standard clock on my 1080ti

can't remember the limits in volts as i tested,too long ago,but power drawing spikes were almost 400w

[sonic osprey]

shrug

its different architecture too

[violet plank]

yeah

[sonic osprey]

so it might need more power

to reach same clocks

[violet plank]

dunno

what is your psu ?

[sonic osprey]

plat+ corsair m850x or rx

[violet plank]

should be more than enough

[sonic osprey]

yea

[violet plank]

i only use a 700

[sonic osprey]

but the card is 250w tdp, so

[violet plank]

isn't the 1080ti aswell ?

[sonic osprey]

but gonna go play some apex now

[violet plank]

have fun

[lofty light]

The 20 series is severely power limited

Even I max mine out on the bios limit with basically no overclock

Thus it requires some fancy modding to get it higher

[minor turret]

thermal conditions since you took OC scanner might have changed

[sonic osprey]

yeah but GPU-z shows pwr as my limit for additional overclocking

so maybe flashing the bios would be helpful, since temperature is not an issue

[lofty light]

There isn't even too much that bioses can do due to NVIDIA

[sonic osprey]

53C max temp today playing apex for about 2hours straight

[minor turret]

the 1xxx series was vulnerable to heat, i think my gtx 1070 requires more power with more heat

with max OC only being stable below 50 c

but i dont know how 2xxx series is

[lofty light]

20 has the heat thing too

[sonic osprey]

without water cooling this card was at 70-75C

[lofty light]

The lower the temps the higher it clocks naturally

[minor turret]

How much cooling does the memory on nvidia cards require?

can you slap a tiny heatsink on them?

if you add AIO

[sonic osprey]

I have EK block with heat pads

https://gyazo.com/4e2dce02ca0525a02c272b3562aa9fe9 not that the card it self had "bad" thermalpads etc

[lofty light]

Shouldn't need more than those small fins on the memory so long as you have airflow

I've got a full cover block on mine so I don't need to muck around though

[sonic osprey]

https://gyazo.com/d22394a962c28a73ca1614760022af61 my setup now

[lofty light]

Noice 👌

I like the blue

[sonic osprey]

4x corsair HD120 as exhaust, 2x same and 2x EK Vardar for intake, 360+240 rads

[lofty light]

Ooh nice, my case wasn't designed for water-cooling so I've got a 240 and a 120 only

But I've got 5x RGB maglevs

[sonic osprey]

Yeah, the define S2 is wayyy better for water cooling than define r4 which i had

[lofty light]

Yeah, I've been considering changing my case just to add another rad in but I really like this case

It takes too damn long to reset a win 10 laptop

I just wanna sleep but I'm setting up a gaming laptop for my sis whilst she's in the hospital and it's taking sooooooo long

[sonic osprey]

heh

[steep gust]

@sonic osprey Meshify S2 for water cooling tbh

Better airflow same chassis

GPU Boost 3.0 scales very well with temperatures

Who's ready for DLSS to be garbage in BFV

[minor turret]

the r6 can do whatever meshify wants to do

no reason to get it

[steep gust]

Outside of proper airflow

Solid front panels are amazing for airflow

[viral ibex]

DLSS looks great in 3DMark so it should look nice in bfv too

[minor turret]

last i checked you could flip those panels open

and it had a dust filter inside

[viral ibex]

And I hope it makes RT payable in 4k

[minor turret]

giving you more choice whether you prefer sound or silence

[latent light]

@steep gust apparently it's not possible to manufacture an 8GB or 12GB version of the Radeon VII because HBM2 only comes in 4GB stacks and the GPU die for the Radeon VII requires all 4 stacks

[violet plank]

radeon 7 are only mi50 rejects anyways

i like amd,not to be missunderstood

[steep gust]

@viral ibex dude

3D Mark is not a test for DLSS

That was fucking shit advertising that people bought into

DLSS works great on a set path wow guess I have to plan my games on the exact path as Nvidia does

DLSS needs something random to actually test it, currently it's just shitty AA that sucks at small stuff and will be a performance hit

@latent light Sounds about right for the bandwidth

They would need 2GB stacks so get the same bandwidth at 8GB

there doesnt seem to be a significant difference between i5 8400 and 8600k in videogames

[steep gust]

8600k can be overclocked

Which is like

The whole reason for its existence

[molten bramble]

@fallen harbor Weren't you asking these questions yesterday?

[fallen harbor]

similar questions but no

[molten bramble]

@fallen harbor I am pretty sure i pointed you to the pcpartpicker site for some build information to see what some other gamers on a budget were pairing.

[fallen harbor]

yeah but i didnt find that bit of info

although

the mobo question, yeah

youre actually right, i just forgot

sry

[molten bramble]

no worries

[steep gust]

Budget build goes with ryzen

[fallen harbor]

the ryzen and 8400 cost the same here

and the 8400 seems to be the same if not slightly better

[steep gust]

Which Rzyen CPU?

The 2600x?

[molten bramble]

@fallen harbor What Ryzen?

[fallen harbor]

2600*

im thinking of a i5 8400, the cheapest possible mobo, a 550 thermaltake or corsair and 16gb ram (3000mhz i guess)

[jaunty sonnet]

i7 7700K

[fallen harbor]

thats way too expensive

[molten bramble]

Are you trying to overclock this or...?

[latent light]

the benefit of the Ryzen 5 2600 is that is has 6 extra threads which will benefit it a little more in future gaming @fallen harbor

but the R5 2600 and i5-8400 are very similar in gaming as of now

[fallen harbor]

oh i see

so you suggest the 2600?

do you know what mobo i should get to match the 2600?

[latent light]

if the prices are similar, yes

any B450 board will do if you don't care about overclocking

most of them range from $70 USD to $100 USD

[fallen harbor]

i see

id get the cheapest possible one tbh

also tyvm

[latent light]

I'd recommend getting 2666 MHz RAM too

or higher

you can get an A320 motherboard which is the cheapest motherboard chipset for Ryzen

doesn't have overclocking support but it will even run a Ryzen 7 CPU fairly well at boost clocks

A320 will probably need a BIOS update though because some motherboard venders are behind and don't update their stuff

[molten bramble]

If you're going to go Intel, spend the coin and get a better mb, IMO. You can always upgrade your CPU later on. A Z390 is going to last you awhile and will support what you're looking to run.

[latent light]

he wants great value, cheapest Z390 is $130 lol

if he gets Z390 now for future upgrading, that motherboard chipset won't even be supported anymore for newer gen CPUs

[molten bramble]

It supports up to i9

Is there something else out that you're referring to or over the horizon?

[fallen harbor]

u asking me?

[latent light]

ye he is

[fallen harbor]

uh idk i just want something that has the best price/working/aging value

something good but not so expensive and if i. can make it age better by adding few bucks then ill do that iguess

[latent light]

if you get an expensive motherboard, it will just become outdated because motherboards usually only support 1 or 2 generation for Intel

and Ryzen's AM4 socket will only be compatible with new CPUs until next year

so might as well get something cheap

[fallen harbor]

oh i see

ty

[latent light]

for Intel, H310 or B360

for Ryzen, A320, A350 or B450

[molten bramble]

I agree and disagree--it depends on how much life you plan to get out of it, not how often something changes. My last build I had for 10 years, worked just fine for my needs, but at this point, it couldn't keep up to run more complex games. The gamespace isnt going to change for awhile in terms of requirements as a whole, so it really depends on you.

[molten bramble]

@coarse nimbus What are you going to do with what old drive? Probably find yourself an old microwave or something and cook her. :p

[coarse nimbus]

ill take up skeet shooting with it

[steep gust]

@molten bramble AM4 will be supported through 2020 (aka the next two generations) while LGA1151v2 is almost guaranteed to not support Sunny Cove

The 2600 + B450 has a much better upgrade path worth Zen 2 this year then Intel

[molten bramble]

@steep gust Never said otherwise?

[steep gust]

Also saying it supports up to i9 is misleading at best

i9 is advertising

Not performance markers

[molten bramble]

@steep gust The discussion was iterations of processors, and as he's looking at an i5, he has room to grow into an i7 or i9 later on. For now, it gives him the chance to get the foot in the door with the budget build, and that's really the point.

@steep gust As for AMD vs Intel in this case, I don't disagree with your recommendation.

[latent light]

tbh, I wouldn't consider buying any CPU or motherboard now until Ryzen 3000 series comes out

[steep gust]

We haven't got anything on a new chipset for Zen 2

So I wouldn't bother waiting out on high end motherboards

[latent light]

getting an AM4 motherboard now would mean he'd need a BIOS update for Ryzen 3rd gen to work

and a lot of people aren't comfortable with flashing a BIOS

[steep gust]

It's literally put USB in

Navigate window

Click accept

[latent light]

hell, I got friends that don't know a lot about hardware and not even comfortable booting into the BIOS

[steep gust]

The fear mongering that goes on with BIOS updating should be directed at motherboard manufacturers not consumers

Dual BIOS, BIOS flashback, etc should be standard

[latent light]

BIOS looks overwhelming to people that aren't big into computers or hardware

first time I ever entered a BIOS, I thought I might destroy my PC lol

[steep gust]

Most BIOS now have a basic easy mode

[latent light]

my motherboard has an easy one, you press Alt on any settings and it gives you a simple explanation of what the setting does

[steep gust]

That is generally not helpful if you don't understand at all what you are looking at or what it means

ie VCCIO

Or VCCSA

Also good luck putting RAM timings into simple terms

[molten bramble]

That fear comes from when BIOS' were pretty primitive in nature ages ago before probably half these folks here were born, no offense. It's just been passed down between friends and family ever since. Today's BIOS is incredibly simple to navigate and a BIOS update is a walk in the park.

[steep gust]

BUT WHAT IF YOU BRICK YOUR MOTHERBOARD

This whole mentality of don't fix it if it works for BIOS isn't helpful

[molten bramble]

Agreed.

[steep gust]

A BIOS update takes less time than a windows update

And losing power during a windows update can mean rip install

Also I legitimately cant think of the last random power outage I had

[latent light]

I get them once a week usually but it's a short time, like 5 seconds

[molten bramble]

Regarding the RAM timings, there was actually someone that did that--a relatively easy to understand visual chart that explained. I used to have it somewhere.

If they could put something like that into the BIOS itself, I think you'd see people warm up to it. Otherwise, people will fear what they don't understand.

That's just human nature.

[steep gust]

They can't put a lot into a BIOS

The chips don't have a lot of storage

[molten bramble]

I dunno, this MSI board has a GUI that looks like a friggin' website tbh.

[steep gust]

Also let's leave RAM overclocking as a mystic art so people don't brick their installs

[molten bramble]

I suspect they could dump some of that and put a chart in.

[steep gust]

Because being lazy on CPU stressing just means a game might crash

But not actually checking RAM stability (takes a long time) can result in a lot of issues

RAM tweaking doesn't even need to understand what you are doing physically

Literally as long as you understand stress testing

[latent light]

[molten bramble]

Another solution would be for them to take an explanation from a page like this: https://www.hardwaresecrets.com/understanding-ram-timings/ clean it up some, and put it in their booklet they provide with the mobo. Then, it's physically in hand rather than reliant on the BIOS to provide it..

[latent light]

Rolled back to previous BIOS version, better RAM support for some reason

[steep gust]

You mean having proper manuals?

Never

[molten bramble]

Haha

I mean, who'd have thunk it?

[steep gust]

They cant even do proper manuals for each motherboard

[molten bramble]

I've noticed.

[steep gust]

Its just a generic one

Even if you download it which then it's no excuse

But even then, they know exactly how many motherboards they make

So they can't end up with spare manuals

[latent light]

Took only 4 minutes to update my BIOS

[molten bramble]

Kind of surprised noone seems to have come up with a ram timing calculator based on real-world sticks and configurations... or maybe I just haven't come across it yet.

[latent light]

Can't even run 2666 memory at stock timings on a B350 board

Sad

Well never getting a budget Gigabyte board ever again

Lmao I manually set it to 2800 MHz at 1.3v and it worked

I guess this RAM can't handle stock speeds at stock voltage

but it auto set the timings to 20-19-19-37...

has to be a problem with this board

[acoustic quail]

I installed the game and Origin on a SATA HDD, not on the boot drive
can I move my drive on another PC and play on it?

and no , RAM speed doesn't matter at all

[coarse nimbus]

I think youd have to reinstall the origin client..dunno if it would boot up from that hdd, maybe it would

but i believe all youd have to do is verify the files and then youre good to go

[molten bramble]

https://www.digitalstorm.com/aventum-x.asp Wow... that's insane.

Thing weighs an ungodly amount.

@coarse nimbus I am afraid the NTFS drive will have write protection on that PC

In that case I am pretty sure it will be unplayable

[stray vortex]

hi, im saying this here because i think i'll get more attention this way (probably not lmao): the most recent optional update for amd drivers claims to have fixed the ghosting effect that stays on the screen, but it didnt. i know since this seems to be a driver-related issue, i should report it to amd, but
i thought that if dice were to contact amd about that it would be resolved faster

[acoustic quail]

It is Beta , so ...

AMD is probably aware of that

[stray vortex]

wouldn't/shouldn't QA make sure that the claim that its fixed is grounded on proof though?

[fallen harbor]

if i have two hard disks connected to my mobo, is there a quick way to switch from one to another like switching from one pc to another without having to restart it and choose a different boot in the bios?

You mean running two different operating systems on two different harddisks?

[fallen harbor]

yeah

like two separate pcs but sharing the same specs

[molten bramble]

Natively, on a consumer machine, no.

There are some specialized machines that can do that, but for what you're going to get in the marketplace, no.

[fallen harbor]

i see

[molten bramble]

Alternatively, however, you could run VMWare and install an operating system inside of an operating system.

Then you could dedicate the container to consume that entire other HDD, but you're still running inside of another.

You can dual-boot as well, but you would have to restart to jump into the other.

[lofty light]

VMware MAY be able to run a second dedecated disk as it can do it natively with Mac

[molten bramble]

@lofty light He's referring to swapping the same way one could swap using a kvm between two systems running simultaneously.

[lofty light]

Ah...

Yeah you'll need two separate machines for that

[fallen harbor]

i see

[molten bramble]

The only place I have seen a system that posts two different operating systems at once in tandem was a couple in the DoD I'd come across. Not classified, but these were specialized hardware setups, and they weren't cheap. Used Xeon processors and had two sitting on the same board each with their own separate array (I think it was like 24-cores or something a piece?). I don't know the point of it, but I'm sure it was some data science something or other.

@fallen harbor What would you need something like that for anyways?

[fallen harbor]

i do art, music and video edit and i would really like to have that separated from gaming

[molten bramble]

@fallen harbor Could just get two PCs and a blackbox to switch between them instead, but easier.

[fallen harbor]

yeah thats what i was thinking

but asked this just to see if there was a more confortable way

[molten bramble]

Well, I do that as well, but I don't need to use two different machines for it. I have an SSD that serves as the base, and then separate HDDs for the content or the project work.

And for anything else creative wise, I use my Macs of course.

[fallen harbor]

how do you use your ssd and hdd

cause idgi yet honestly

ive never had multiple disks

[molten bramble]

The SSD houses the operating system. The HDDs act as my storage drives. Alternatively, you could just dedicate one of those HDDs to your games, but you're going to get better performance running it on the SSD and just saving any game data to the drive I'd guess.

[fallen harbor]

i dont think i understand entirely tbh

how do you use the disks that qay

way*

do you have a video where i can visualize it

cause i honestly have no idea

i want to have two separate systems anyway, i dont want the operating system to use both things so iguess i have no other option but to make two pcs

[lofty light]

You have the SSD as the C drive then keep adding the HDDs as D, E etc

[fallen harbor]

i... guess i could do that i suppose

[lofty light]

I have like 4 HDDs with my SSD main drive

[fallen harbor]

how big do you recommend the ssd to be

is 240gb fine

is it always fine as long as it has enough for the os

cause if thats so i could get a 120 one

[lofty light]

Pretty much

[fallen harbor]

also isnt there any ssd with the physical size if a desktop hdd one? because ive only seen laptop sized

[lofty light]

No 3.5 inch SSDs no

[fallen harbor]

its just bad for my case since it doesnt have slots for such tiny sze

size*

[lofty light]

But I have a 1TB SSD so I can put games on it too

[fallen harbor]

itd be hanging there

[lofty light]

If your mobile has an M2 slot that could work

[fallen harbor]

m2?

id send a pic but i cant in this channel

[lofty light]

DM me

[fallen harbor]

kk

[molten bramble]

@fallen harbor There is a little adapter tray you can buy for like 6 bucks

It's a piece of ABS plastic that holds it in the normal slot

[fallen harbor]

you mean a switch to connect two pcs in one monitor?

not sure what you talkin about

sry

[molten bramble]

for the SSD

[fallen harbor]

do i need a more powerful PSU if i use an ssd and two hdds instead of only one hdd or is it the same

[lofty light]

It doesn't use much power no

[fallen harbor]

icic thnx

why do i always think about buying things when its sunday

i cant buy anything during the week

[lofty light]

I was thinking about buying stuff yesterday and the computer store nearby is only open on weekdays

[fallen harbor]

pats

[acoustic quail]

Hi , I can’t boot Battlefield V on my another PC

Sata plugged and detected but it can not detect BFV

🤦🏿‍♂️

[lofty light]

Wait what?

You're plugging your main drive into another PC?

[minor turret]

would almost certainly have to manually find it with origin

[minor turret]

ffs i keep getting random crashes when the game is loading now

be it to a new map or to menu

[fallen harbor]

the menu is shitly optimized

i thought it was my pc being kinda old but then seen it on ps4 and it works the same

all laggy and stuff

[random panther]

Am I the only one that can't load bfv? pressing play button, minimalizes origin and its not opening

[fallen harbor]

make origin check the game files

right click on the game, properties and the option should be over there

[sonic osprey]

first you need to map the origin directory to the folder, then it should find it, for the swapping of harddrive issue

[fallen harbor]

oh that

[random panther]

I did both and still nothing

[fallen harbor]

1. move the bfv folder out of the origin games location
2. click download the game on origin (this will create the bfv folder in program files>origin games)
3. close origin
4. put your actual bfv folder where the new one was created (replace it)
5. launch origin
6. it will start checking the files instead of downloading it, it will take several minutes still though

[fallen harbor]

@random panther did you try that yet

[random panther]

oh yeah i forgot to say thanks

[minor turret]

vega 7 is looking somewhat promising

people are getting OCs in 1900-2000 mhz range from stock 1700-1750 mhz

but its only in window mode so far because OC tools dont work fullscreen

a 1900 clocked vega 7 would smoke 2080

and reported memory clock increase from 1000 to 1100-1200 mhz

though im unsure how valuable that is considering the memory throughput

[latent light]

Radeon VII stock is 1450 mhz

and it boosts to around 1750 on average to 1800 mhz max

[minor turret]

@latent light reviewers with graphite pad didnt boost to 1750

it was around 1730 for many

during sustained load

[latent light]

I want to see new drivers and see how much will change

[minor turret]

https://imgur.com/a/I7wzZmZ this graph from gamersnexus shows how big a pipedream 1750-1800 mhz is stock

[jovial yoke]

Recently I want a new screen for my PS4 any advice? PS: don't want to spend too much

about 200 to 250 would be nice

[sonic osprey]

high variance on boost clocks is bad for your constant fps

wish you could force the boost to not work when gaming so you get even fps

[spare rune]

Anyone able to tell me how the RX 570 4GB goes in Battlefield V?

[limpid tree]

anyone wanna msg me and tell me if the pc im getting good

pls

thx

and upgrades

ect

[coarse nimbus]

just post a link of your build from PC parts picker here and people will comment

[latent light]

@spare rune really good, I've got an RX 580, which is only about 15% better than a 570, and it gets 80+ average fps on Ultra settings

If I play on a mix of medium/high settings I stay above 100 fps

[raven basalt]

DISCORD DID A FUCKING OOPSIE
https://twitter.com/nickmon1112/status/1092469779137482755?s=21

[steep gust]

uh

none of that is unique to discord

and is common on any text platform

[forest token]

Someone smart enough to use google can make a fake text chat, web browsers have built in editing of web pages. So for example I can make a deleted tweet look like something incriminating when it was just an accidental tweet of a single alphanumeric letter

So I'm always hesitant to believe anything I see onn the internet about a conversation

[prime jasper]

hey guys i need major help

so

i bought a bf1 premium pass for 10$ from the microsoft store, as a gift for someone. i then bought another for me. i accidentally redeemed his code on my device. so i said i’d told him i’d send him my code obviously. i went to my order history and i saw the gift purchase and my personal purchase. the gift had an option that said “view code” and i clicked it and it was the code i put in my own xbox. i scrolled down to my personal order and all it says is “Completed” it won’t let me see the code at all

[flint locust]

contact xbox support

[acoustic quail]

@lofty light yes

@spare rune resolution matters

@minor turret yeah , Radeon seems to be better at BFV. But not many titles, in general if u also play other games , RTX 2080 is the way to go
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YyCN1iOAHU

[minor turret]

as per usual amd butchered their gpu release

i would wait a month to see how things settle

when reviewers are struggling to hit 1750 boost clock with stock settings

[jaunty sonnet]

When i launch BFV it opens then closes straight away

[west siren]

on xbox?

[jaunty sonnet]

PC

[west siren]

Oh nvm then.

[jaunty sonnet]

Why?

[west siren]

I only play xbox and rarely on ps4

Someone else might be able to help.

[jaunty sonnet]

Ok

[storm osprey]

try running in administrative mode

check firewalls/antivirus

verify files

restart

reinstall

[west siren]

Reinstall would suck.

[storm osprey]

thats why its last

[west siren]

Do everything in that order

lol

[jaunty sonnet]

Sound

[west siren]

wut

[jaunty sonnet]

Will a driver update be required for the graphics card

[west siren]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe

idk

[jaunty sonnet]

The list didn't work

[west siren]

ok........

[storm osprey]

making sure drivers and other software is up to date is always a recommended part

[west siren]

did you 100% check firewall?

[jaunty sonnet]

Cheers @storm osprey

What do you mean check firewall @west siren

[west siren]

Like........................what kinda computer you got?

[jaunty sonnet]

Custom

[west siren]

oh.

[jaunty sonnet]

There was a driver update 6 days ago

[west siren]

Don't ask me any other questions cuz I don't have my own custom pc

[jaunty sonnet]

What do you have?
