Been tempted to get that mousepad, since i don't really use that large bf1 mousepad i have too much

molten bramble
#

Or maybe I forgoe a gaming kB and pick up a razor Tartarus

#

😁

storm osprey
#

i personally love silent switches, and you can get something like the GMMK modular keyboard and swap out switches whenever

molten bramble
#

Link me?

storm osprey
#

theres literally hundreds of compatible switches

molten bramble
#

Pretty sure it’s not sold here

storm osprey
#

oh no, its an online thing

#

thats why i was asking if youre definitely getting in store

latent light
#

aliaz switches 🤗

molten bramble
#

Don’t know

storm osprey
#

@latent light did you finally try them?!

molten bramble
#

Probably not picking that up today

#

Research to be done

latent light
#

nah

storm osprey
#

laaaame

#

i got my keyboard friend to get the aliaz switches

latent light
#

couldn't find a compatible keyboard chassis

molten bramble
#

I hate noisy keyboard, with a passion

storm osprey
#

i also orderd gat silent browns

#

@molten bramble they have good silent options out now

molten bramble
#

Corsair’s K56 doesn’t really seem bad to be honest

storm osprey
#

cherry silent reds and blacks, gateron silent red and browns

molten bramble
#

K55

storm osprey
#

k55 probably comes with reds

latent light
#

K55 is membrane

storm osprey
#

what?!

molten bramble
#

I’d really like to be able to have the backlighting, but have the wasd keys be colored differently

storm osprey
#

dont get membrane

minor turret
#

fucking hell, GPU OC stable for 2 weeks

molten bramble
#

Same for any hot keys

minor turret
#

now it crashes

storm osprey
#

and you can swap out keycaps

#

theres a lot of keyboards once you start getting into it

latent light
#

mcsalty what gpu you got

molten bramble
#

I also don’t like a lot of throw on the key, because it makes me fumble for other keys as I cross over

#

That’s the problem with the current board, key wells are too deep

minor turret
#

a gtx 1070 strix that OCs to 2130-2150ish

#

or used to

latent light
storm osprey
#

errr... arent those insane numbers for a 1070?

latent light
#

if it crashes only on BFV, then it's not your GPU

#

BFV still has problems with overclocks

minor turret
#

its bfv that crashes

#

@storm osprey 100% fanspeed

storm osprey
#

@molten bramble whatever you do, dont get membrane keyboard

molten bramble
#

heh, why?

#

This one Logitech feels right proper

minor turret
#

if you have old mobo dont get keyboard with 1000 mhz polling rate

#

swamp mouse

latent light
#

my RX 580 does 1450 mhz fairly easy and I can run FurMark for 30 minutes with no crashing or artifacts but it will crash in BFV about 5 minutes into a game

#

it's also the only game I've tested at that frequency that crashes

storm osprey
#

if youre getting membrane just get something cheap with backlighting, its literally the cheapest way to make a keyboard

latent light
#

Razer Cynosa Chroma is a good membrane

#

it's responsive

#

has a little bit of resistance when you press so it feels like a click

storm osprey
#

all they do is add a metal bump to make it feel good

#

its still a membrane keyboard though

fast sedge
latent light
#

what graphics card do you have

jaunty sonnet
#

@fast sedge Bug/glitch possibly

fast sedge
#

RX580 8GB

#

its a bug, but there are many in this game

steep gust
#

@storm osprey 2130mhz is very good for a 1070 on air

molten bramble
#

Also decided to pick up a stream deck today. This should be interesting, think that’ll be just right for binding/toggling OBS and some other apps.

#

tfw you try to see if there is a way to reset the Aida64 trial and you find a random forum post with a bunch of keys (from 3 years ago) and the first one I tried worked

#

rip origin died again

fiery quarry
#

Would my PC (GTX 670, i5 7400, 8GB RAM) be able to run battlefield V at good fps?

#

Coz I'm playing on console currently and it's killing me inside

steep gust
#

not really

fiery quarry
#

rip

#

Like low graphic settings would it be able?

latent light
#

720p lowest settings can achieve 60 fps

#

going to see stutter with that i5-7400 though @fiery quarry

#

a 670 will get gtx 1050 (non Ti) performance

fiery quarry
#

Ok

#

Thanks for the help

latent light
#

yes

#

GeForce Experience should only be used if you need shadowplay

latent light
#

^

#

when I had a gtx 770, I downloaded the drivers from their website and when it asked if I wanted to install GeForce Experience, I clicked no

#

I only want the driver

#

I try to minimalize the amount of software on my PC

lofty light
#

I never install GeForce experience since they made you log in

elfin scroll
#

You only have to log in once though

#

It helps you keep your drivers up to date

@storm osprey @lofty light So far, I am diggin this new mouse. It's just about the right size for my hand and that's most important to me. The dpi button is a bit odd for me though, because i can't find a sweet spot just yet.

#

i'm gonna have to try it all in a game later and see how it goes.

storm osprey
#

@molten bramble, make sure you got the right windows, software, and in game settings

#

glad you like it too

steep gust
#

DPI buttons are worthless

#

Only good for rebinding to more mouse buttons

storm osprey
#

^

#

should pick 1 and stick with it

elfin scroll
#

Yeah

lofty light
#

G903 has real crappy DPI buttons too

#

I turned them off fully as they kept being pressed accidently

molten bramble
#

I am probably only going to swap between 800 and 1600, I cut down the settings available to just those two, one for normal movement, the other for ADS and see if it helps any.

#

I don't think it will, but it's worth the test.

#

In the end, I don't think it will be of use because a game like R6S is fast paced and may not have time to muscle memory that shit.

#

Not sure what I'd reprogram it to be used for, but I like that I can bind titles for game specific stuff.

tame dust
#

so what ingame % mouse sensitivity do you guys use with say 1600 mouse dpi?

vast rock
#

I have 2000dpi and something around 2-5%

elfin scroll
#

I play on 800DPI

floral parrot
#

I play on 16000dpi

green nebula
#

1500 dpi for me + 500 dpi sniper mode.

can i ask for a bit of help? if and when i upgrade my pc in the future, i would either like to have a better cpu or a better gpu, now the all fi have an i5 7400 and a 1060 3gb gpu, now i dont know what would bottle neck what *or what i should upgrade. can anyone help me with that

sonic osprey
#

most likely gpu is bottlenecking

minor turret
#

Depends on what settings and fps he is aiming for

#

60 fps -> gpu, 144 fps -> cpu/ram on multiplayer games

hey has anyone here experienced an audio issue with battlefield 5 if so how did you ficx it

#

fix*

deep drift
#

i just restarted the game

supple bane
#

@gleaming egret what was the audio bug you are experiencing ?

#

like could you describe it

gleaming egret
#

once i loadup the game i get absolutly zero audio in the menus and in the actual matches ive made sure all drivers are updated and all audio inputs and outputs match

deep drift
#

i had that problem

#

did u restart the game?

#

thats fixed mine

supple bane
#

maybe restart pc

deep drift
#

i had a problem that i couldnt fix and turned out i had hit a switch on my headphones that turned my hearing off

gleaming egret
#

i have restarted the game several times on my pc and reinstalled it even tried repairing the files and updated windows but still no luck

deep drift
#

does any other game have any adio issue

gleaming egret
#

nope siege csgo and all my other games work just fine

deep drift
#

hmmmmm

gleaming egret
#

thats whats strange

#

im gonna try and repair the files again and reboot just to see if it will work

supple bane
#

i thought you might have had the issue where theres no gun shots or foot steps

#

thats creepy as its all just soldiers screaming

gleaming egret
#

yeah no i wish that was the case its better then absolute silence its like my soldier is deaf

supple bane
#

is there an option in game where it uses a different out put device instead of the one that you want?

#

like go to the audio settings and see if theres an options to change that

gleaming egret
#

no in the audio settings all it shows is speaker s headphons and surround sound and 3d headphones you have to change which device i uses in the origin launcher

deep drift
#

do u have windows 10

gleaming egret
#

yes i have the latest version of windows 10

deep drift
#

ok that helps

gleaming egret
#

now battlefield is updating maybe it will fix my isssue

supple bane
#

can i just say rize i fucking love your profile picture heh

#

also yes that will probs fix it

gleaming egret
#

lol thanks

#

do you play on pc or console @supple bane

Haha, the 33XX series, I used to make Nokias.

I can tell you, 60% of the phones at the line were DOA before we even got to load them to the distribution trays. We had to pull them and I'd rework the 100-pin MAD chips or diffusers on them (the two most common problems) while my tech ran diagnostics on the others.

This streamdeck is a pretty nifty little piece of kit.

forest token
#

but only works on windows 10

#

so sad

#

or mac pfft

#

alternative to the streamdeck would be abuying a usb keypad and remapping the keys on it, such as to the f13-f24 keys

molten bramble
#

? Streamdeck words on OSX 10.11 or later

#

What else would you use it on, Linux?

#

Even then, you could emulate either environment.

hoping someone can help with issue
I have had 2 corsair keyboards, just bought a brand new k70 for this issue thinking it was the old keyboard, the number 9 key on the number row does not work... The left parenthesis works absolutely fine just not the number. This was the problem on both keyboards. For some reason the 9 was binded to my mouse through logitech. Is it possible that it is actually unbiunded from my keyboard through windows?

quaint topaz
#

😩

fair sage
#

@turbid portal yes it is possible

steep gust
#

@turbid portal All that would happen if you binded a key through software to do something different is that once you press the key, the piece of software would treat it as whatever input you selected

Windows would see it as a 9, since you didn't change the keyboard software before it went through windows. Logitech's software can't control Corsair keyboards

Also most keyboards don't allow you to rebind the physical keys, you can just set up macros related to that key stroke

#

Thanks Discord for making have to ping his ID instead of name :^)

molten bramble
#

@quaint topaz Once you get ahold of the workflows/panes, you'll dig it I am pretty sure. I've used this, ProTools, Cubase, Acid, and Audition--I think Ableton took some really complex tools and made them much simpler so you can concentrate on the product rather than the workflow.

#

Best of luck!

quaint topaz
#

I'm familiar with Ableton, used AL9 for a while but I really need to get used to this again

#

Thanks!

molten bramble
#

@quaint topaz Oh cool! Then I suspect you'll be right at home. 😄

#

Was reading up on your launchpad last night, seems like a big win for the setup.

quaint topaz
#

Indeed

#

I got it a long time ago

It's pretty cool. Can use it as a sound board for shits and giggles

From time to time I get a quite irritating bug in BFV on PC.. All of a sudden I loose mouse freelook during gameplay, usually after escaping to menus to check assignments or whatever, instead the menu mouse cursor pops up and moves around.. I can still play, but it feels like I'm playing on a console.. 😫 I haven't had it for a while (weeks) but yesterday it came back one time.. anyone else experienced this?

supple bane
#

do you have any other mouses by any chance? even if its jsut a cheap old one just to check its not a hardware issue, then if you have the same issue could you maybe try describe whats happening a little bit better :), im a little but confused about that paragraph

versed cave
#

I want my side buttonssss!!!! 😄

#

I think I actually was recording at the time..

supple bane
#

hi, you dont have to use the mouse permanently, u just want to make sure that it isnt an issue with your main mouse, because if you use the cheap on and it works fine then you know that you need to buy a new mouse

versed cave
#

yeah I know 😃 ("old" tech support guy) I'm on a MX-500 now, but I guess I'll try it.

bug: just imagine, instead of free looking, you're staring at the same point unless you use the arrows to turn. instead the white arrow marker is moving around as you freelook

supple bane
#

i would like to get a new mouse but i dont see the point of it heh, i have some cheap one that i found on amazon for like 5 pound and it works fine, its perfectly comfortable and the clicks on the left click and right click and even the side buttons feel amazing, i think i will just wait till this one gives up completely

versed cave
#

Got a ball in it as well? 😛

supple bane
#

lol no, its optical XD

versed cave
#

I used one of these for quite some time back in the day..

supple bane
#

i would have one of those if it was one with more keys on, maybe it goes over to G or something

versed cave
#

I dunno if it dominated my game..

supple bane
#

this is the mouse i use atm

#

and i have to say, for the price it is a really good mouse, for what i have experienced anyway

#

the only thing i could say bad about it is that the click is maybe just a little bit too loud

sonic osprey
#

highend gaming mouse will make difference

supple bane
#

why tho?

sonic osprey
#

more precise

#

I cant use those market mouses because you cant even draw a straight line in ms paint with them

supple bane
#

ermm, you can

sonic osprey
#

(without using the tool that is)

versed cave
#

I cant even do that with a pen..

#

!rank

#

meh

supple bane
#

i would say that the only difference that a high end mouse would have is the ergonomics, dpi and the response time

#

and all of those things are fine for gaming on the mouse i listed

#

because for me i use a low dpi and a low sensitivity, so all this 16,000 dpi is useless for me

versed cave
#

£6 for P&P.. hmm..

sonic osprey
#

well that is indeed quite nice price for the specs delivered, only question is where they have scraped the savings from

supple bane
#

maybe the plastic isnt quite as high end as say a razer mouse

#

idk

#

maybe the cable isnt a tough as well, but i mean its a braided cable so its not that cheapo

sonic osprey
#

ah

#

153g

supple bane
#

?

#

you mean its light?

sonic osprey
#

its realllly heavy

supple bane
#

oh

#

it has adjustable weight

#

its got like a little compartment at the bottom full of metal balls

#

and you can take them out to change the weight

sonic osprey
#

so how much does it weight without the extra weight

#

my work laptop g703 wireless is 106g

supple bane
#

idk how much exactly

#

lemme go find some scales

sonic osprey
#

some photo had 4.00ounces on a scale

#

so around 110g

#

not that heavy then, but guess there is no dedicated software, no customization of buttons etc

supple bane
#

it weighs exactly 100 grams without the metal balls

#

and yes i will admit there isnt any software, that is one of the big downsides

supple bane
#

@versed cave did you try the old mouse? if so, did it work?

storm osprey
#

sorry for the out of blue @, but.. @molten bramble what do you think of the 703?

molten bramble
#

@storm osprey I am pretty happy with it so far.

Hello Battlefield community! I need your help. I want to play Battlefield 1 at 1080p 60 FPS but I can't. The game runs at only about 40 FPS on medium-high settings. Playing on low grants me 50 FPS but very inconsistently.
My specs are a Ryzen 3 1300x, a GTX 1050 (yes I know it's a big no no) and 8gb of ram clocked at 2400 Mhz.
The issue I have is that I saw people with simillar setups running it at 60 fps constant on conquest.
I cannot run it at 60 fps on rush.
I would love to hear opinions as to why the game doesn't like my setup, and possibly an explanation as to why other people
can run it and I cannot. Thank you in advance.

steep gust
#

dual or single channel ram

grizzled heath
#

dual

storm osprey
#

imo the people running at 60fps are probably running everything off/low

grizzled heath
#

I do not mind low settings

#

I only mind the fact my PC craps itself and can't maintain 60 fps

storm osprey
#

imo you should always use low/off

grizzled heath
#

I agree but I don't know if it is worth it.

#

Even on high settings I get 40 fps

#

Playing on Medium I get 40 fps

#

Playing on low I get 40-60 fps, and getting to 60 would mean me playing Sinai and wandering in the desert

#

That's how bad this gets

#

And I do not understand why, when other people can run it better with similar or worse setups

storm osprey
#

have you OC'ed your cpu and gpu?

grizzled heath
#

No, because I have a chinese PSU

#

450W PSU that is sometimes dying

#

And I don't think the AMD Wraith cooler would be the best choice for OC'ing the 1300x

storm osprey
#

err.. if psu is having problem i would replace that regardless, and then i would OC

#

and wraith cooler is decent at OC

grizzled heath
#

Still

#

I still believe 3.5 Ghz is enough for bf

#

It's not the CPU that is messing the game up

#

It's my bloody 1050

#

I am planning to upgrade but I don't have any money

#

For now at least

storm osprey
#

well at 1080p you are cpu and gpu bound

#

so they both matter

grizzled heath
#

Agreed.

storm osprey
#

and bfv scales off of every component really

grizzled heath
#

Uhm.

#

I am talking about Battlefield 1.

storm osprey
#

ahh

#

well, its the same, bfv is just less optimized

grizzled heath
#

So, I will set everything on low yes?

storm osprey
#

going from 16gb of ram to 32gb of ram gets pretty good gains

#

yes, set everyone low/off

grizzled heath
#

Done.

versed cave
#

@supple bane nah not yet, picking up kids, dinner, bedtime, mum visiting..

grizzled heath
#

Well, what else can I do

#

Except for blowing up my house trying to OC

storm osprey
#

make sure thermals are good

#

use fullscreen

#

test dx 11/12 see which is better for you, turn off future frame rendering

grizzled heath
#

Thermals are good.

#

I am using fullscreen.

#

From what I have read, Dx 11 performs overall better on any graphic card

#

But, I will try nonetheless

storm osprey
#

i would test it yourself

#

updates and all

#

dont run any background applications

grizzled heath
#

I am not running anything in the background

#

Only Origin

storm osprey
#

turn off xbox ms gaming shit through windows

#

turn off origin overlay

#

and anything else that does an overlay

grizzled heath
#

Okay, done.

#

Should I see how it runs now?

storm osprey
#

yee

grizzled heath
#

Well I am in queue

#

I will wait for now

#

Well

#

It runs at 60 fps but It freezes for 1 second every 10 seconds

storm osprey
#

change dx

grizzled heath
#

it doesn't do it anymore

#

WITH Dx 12 on

#

It does it occasionally now.

storm osprey
#

is it in intensive areas?

#

or just random?

grizzled heath
#

random

storm osprey
#

ive had that problem, it lessened over time

#

not really sure what caused that though

#

for me i had lower but stable fps on dx 11

#

on dx 12 my fps was way higher, but i would get a random freeze once every hour

#

over time it went away

grizzled heath
#

I have higher fps on dx 12

#

but freezes

#

so I guess your thing worked

#

So, thank you I guess

storm osprey
#

sadly, i think the freezing is just a problem with bfv

#

i have a good system and got freezes

#

oo, youre on bf1, yea idk about that

#

didnt play much bf1

grizzled heath
#

it works fine now

storm osprey
#

well thats good

grizzled heath
#

Thank you

storm osprey
#

youre welcome

is it weird that dropping my RX 580 clock speed from 1340 to 1300 resulted in 50W power difference

#

I let the target temperature stay at 75C but at 1300 mhz the fan speed is only 35% at that temp

#

at 1340 mhz it would sit at 75C but like 60% fan speed

storm osprey
#

amd gpus seem to do weird shit

latent light
#

WattMan has voltage settings but I have it set to auto and lowering the clock speed a little bit results in huge efficiency changes

went from 180W max power draw to 130W just by downclocking by 40 MHz, according to HWinfo64

#

I'm using FurMark and also tried Witcher 3 at max settings to push it

was perf roughly the same?

#

guys i went to a pc store and the guy seemed pretty cool and said that its always best to get the high tier gpus than the low tiers and upgrading faster, if i have the money. I thought it was the opposite? which way is more economic and comfortable?

#

is he trying to fuck me over

storm osprey
#

you should build for you monitor/monitor youre gonna have in the next 5 years

#

if youre on a 1080p 60hz monitor theres really no reason to go above a 1070ti

fallen harbor
#

even if it means to last longer?

storm osprey
#

what do you mean by that?

#

the only "last longer" in that scenario is not having to upgrade sooner if you are wanting certain performance

fallen harbor
#

thats what i mean pretty much

#

sooner or later you have to upgrade

storm osprey
#

well, lets say you get a 2080ti for 1k and it lasts for 5 years at your expected performance

fallen harbor
#

sjould i buy mid tier and upgrade when necessary through the years or go for a super high tier and forget about upgtading for a long time

#

thats the question

storm osprey
#

you can get gpus that match your monitor for 2 years at the expected performance for 300 bucks

fallen harbor
#

im talking about 60fps and 1080 and nothing beyond that

storm osprey
#

so in that sense you can spend less or same for the same expected perf throughout the years

#

but.. its all really a gamble considering you dont know how gpu power will progress and how game graphics/optimization will progress either

#

like.. if amds next gpus are as good as they say they are, you would have most likely went down the worse path getting a 2080ti vs waiting for a 2080 equivalent for 300 bucks

fallen harbor
#

would you say that its better to buy mid tier for someone that doesnt seek over 60/1080?

storm osprey
#

imo mid tier

#

they are usually the sweet spot for gaming

fallen harbor
#

and upgrading when it gets old to another mid tier is more economic than buying a high tier and upgrading when this one becomes obsolete?

storm osprey
#

a 2060 costs what? 350? and is 85% the perf of a 2080ti, but the 2080ti costs 2.5x more

#

(guestimated numbers)

#

id have to do the math to figure that out, which starts to get complicated considering you have to account for the price of a better psu (since higher tier gpus require more wattge) and with that extra wattage you are going to consider the difference in your electricity bill over time

fallen harbor
#

ive always thought its more economic to buy mid tier and upgrading faster than getting a high tier and upgrading slower

#

but i want to be sure

#

and idk

storm osprey
#

i would go mid tier and upgrade sooner, especially for 1080p

#

basically, in 2-3 generations the 2080ti will be on par to perf of a gpu that costs 300 bucks, or even less

#

(if 7nm gpus are as cracked as they are rumored to be)

fallen harbor
#

ic

storm osprey
#

we are at the expected next "leap" in gpu tech

#

ever since i started pc gaming (2012ish) the gpu advances were minimal every generation

#

standard 10-20% increase kinda stuff

fallen harbor
#

i thought it has always been like that?

storm osprey
#

i really dont know, since i havent been at it for long

#

but i hear people say there were a couple of good jumps

#

and like i keep mentioning, if amds 7nm gpus are as they are claimed to be, that will be the next big jump

fallen harbor
#

oic

storm osprey
#

another point, if you get an expensive gpu and 3 years from now you want a new monitor, that gpu could be on the cusp of not being able to support it how you would like

#

BUT you bought that gpu with the intentions of it lasting 5 years at 1080p levels

#

so now youre in a weird spot of wondering what to do

#

theres just a lot of factors, and those factors vary on importance depending on what your personal preferences are

#

i personally dont mind dropping graphical settings for more frames, so ill get more time out of my gpu vs someone who wants 100 fps at ultra

sonic osprey
#

2080 is 85% of 2080ti perf

#

2060 is like 60% or so of 2080ti

steep gust
#

@storm osprey Yeah that isn't how generations have be going

#

The 2060 does beat out the 980ti, but not by massive amounts

#

and AMD's GPUs are budget lineups not meant to compete with Nvidia

storm osprey
#

outside of the rtx cards, it was standard 10-20% increases for the same or a little more $

steep gust
#

Pascal was unique

#

We will never see a Maxwell -> Pascal jump in price to performance from NVidia again

storm osprey
#

what do you recommend @fallen harbor does for their scenario @steep gust

steep gust
#

If he's okay with waiting

#

Wait

#

At least until AMD has played their cards and got Nvidia to do something

storm osprey
#

for 1660ti and navi?

steep gust
#

Navi

#

1660ti is bullshit

storm osprey
#

once they come out though, do you suggest they get a high tier card to not upgrade for a while, or get mid tier and upgrade sooner?

steep gust
#

If he really wants

#

Buy a used 1080ti

storm osprey
#

1080p 60fps

steep gust
#

and use that for literally the next 8 years

#

If he could find a used 1070 / 1070ti / 1080 that would be ideal

#

a 1080 is a little overkill (a lot) for 1080p 60hz and will hold him for years

latent light

people are now speculating Ryzen 3000 to launch on July 7th because July is 7th month and on the 7th day which is reference to the 7nm lithography

storm osprey
#

would be a good idea honestly

they did something similar with the Radeon VII on feb 7th because February = 2nd month = 2nd gen Vega and 7th day = 7nm

for some reason battlefield v doesn't load properly anymore for me

#

origin takes like 5 tries to load and when i open bfv all i see is the menu background with no soldiers in it

storm osprey
#

Did you verify files

glass sentinel
#

How do i play battlefield 1 exactly? AMD Ryzen processor, constant crashes, runs for max an hour before it just fails and crashes

#

The error code points to the CPU overloading, except it doesn't even get close to 80% let alone 100% and then overloaded, i can change all the settings i want and it does fuck all

steep gust
#

Get a stable overclock

glass sentinel
#

That doesn't really do anything. Nor would it solve the problem because again, while the error points to the CPU overloading, the CPU does in fact, NOT overload, I have been testing it all day. It does NOT overload, the game just seems to think it does for some reason.

steep gust
#

what fucking error says CPU is 'overloading'

#

Your CPU can't 'overload'

#

I can pin my CPU to 100% across every single core using a stress test then launch BFV, and it won't error out due to "overloading"

glass sentinel
#

0xc0000005

steep gust
glass sentinel
#

Completely useless.

steep gust
#

did you actually try?

#

did you make sure windows firewall wasn't blocking it?

#

did you try running the game as admin?

#

a fresh install of the game?

glass sentinel
#

Reinstalled game, ran as admin, added to exception list on my firewall to make sure it's not blocked, cleared origin cache just in case, memory test, stabilization test, ran with one stick only, issue persists with either of them, OS is not corrupted, it was scanned, ran DISM repair even though there was no corruption found just in case, limited frames, tried lowering game settings, lowered the amount of cores it uses to see if it makes a difference, tried to speed up RAM cycles and lower them, no difference at all, even reinstalled the entire goddamn operating system, wiped everything off it and the same error message is still there.

#

I'm probably forgetting a couple of things I tried, that's just what i can think of from the top of my head

steep gust
#

then contact support

We ain't tech support

solid deals

minor turret
#

the 2080 had price drops from their retail price

supple bane
#

im kinda tempted to buy a 2060, from what i have found it is more powerful than the 1070ti and it is cheaper if you buy the base model

storm osprey
#

imo wait

#

amd gpus and 1660 ti could be good offers

supple bane
#

oh ye im not bying shit till this gpu dies

fallen harbor
#

would you guys suggest buying a stabilizer?

#

for random tension irregularities or blackouts or whatever

latent light
#

Rumor, but is very plausible

Computex starts in late May and ends on June 1st which is where AMD will reveal the full product line of Ryzen and Navi

I hope navi doesn't flop at launch like the VII

#

Intel is coming out with a higher binned 9900K that won't have an iGPU on it

steep gust
#

Its just a 9900k

#

without the iGPU

#

Its the opposite of a higher bin

lime pollen
latent light
#

not a high bin?

supple bane
#

i would love to see if an i9 has better on board graphics than a low end gpu

#

i might have to look into that

latent light
#

Ryzen has on board graphics comparable to a GT 1030/GTX 750

#

it's roughly 3x better than Intel's best HD 630

supple bane
#

i looked a forum that said that a i9 9900k would get 10 fps on 720p, thats on final fantasy

#

i would rather have a gpu i think heh

latent light
#

I really wanna see Ryzen APUs on DDR5 speeds

#

Vega iGPU scales very well with memory, more than the actual CPU itself

supple bane
#

ddr5 is a thing ? woahthink

latent light
#

not now

supple bane
#

oh its coming?

latent light
#

by 2020 or 2021

#

I expect full consumer use by 2021

supple bane
#

what mghz would that be then?

latent light
#

tbh, DDR4 is already reaching 4600 MHz

#

no one really knows where DDR5 will max out

#

Hynix finished development of DDR5

#

5200 MHz

steep gust
#

@supple bane 5200mhz

#

JEDEC spec for DDR5 has been out for like 3 years

latent light
#

I wonder if DDR5 will be able to hit 7000 mhz

steep gust
#

DDR4 can do 4600mhz on consumer board with consumer kits

If you have the time to bin CPUs, bin motherboards, and get some hardcore binned sticks you can easily hit 5000mhz on DDR4

The world record is like 5500mhz for DDR4

latent light
steep gust
#

Now 5500mhz is on 3T with the shittest possible timings and isn't even bench stable

#

but hey 5500mhz

latent light
#

lol

#

I'm not really expecting DDR5 to be a huge improvement though

steep gust
#

It will be

latent light
#

how much will CPUs benefit from it though

steep gust
#

DDR - > DDR2 was

Same with DDR2 -> DDR3

DDR3 -> DDR4 was a nice jump once it matured

#

More bandwidth is always useful

latent light
#

I know APUs benefit a fuckton from faster memory

steep gust
#

and so more powerful CPUs want more bandwidth, and that is where DDR5 comes into play

#

With bigger, faster, and better CPUs you might as well pair it with faster memory

latent light
#

would be nice to see 4600 MHz working on Ryzen

#

but hardly anyone is able to reach 3600 for daily use

steep gust
#

Hitting 3600mhz on Zen+ with a good board for daily is easy enough

#

You won't be able to rock 3600mhz 14-14-14-34 or something stupid like you could on Intel

#

but you can daily 3600mhz

Daily 3733mhz is pushing what is really possible

#

I know a few people have managed to boot with 4000mhz+ but its never actually stable

#

That's 4x8GB at 4562mhz 17-17-17-34 2T

Now its using MaxMem (aka its only actually like 4GB instead of 32GB) but still impressive

latent light

#

Known issue

#

Idk when it will be fixed though.

prime jasper
#

ram doesn't matter much right, especially the freq

sonic osprey
#

it matters to ryzen infinity fabric, as it is gimped to slower speeds because of slower ram, but as always after a certain limit there are diminished returns in adding more speedy ram

prime jasper
#

Yeah ram helps tons, especially in bfv

#

Like 2666mhz vs 4200mhz in bfv will get you 15fps

#

Closer to the high hz range.

sonic osprey
#

it will also depend on the title how much ram I/O is required

supple bane
#

i have 16gb of 2133 mghz, but when i first got my system it only had 8, but tbh i didnt see that much of an increase in game performance with that extra 8gb, i think that getting a higher freq is better than getting more ram if you already have a sufficient amount like 8 or 16gb

sonic osprey
#

umm if you had 2x4 and got another 2x4 there would be no benefit unless you did not have enough ram to begin with

#

more ram is only helpful if all the data that the game wants to use cant be fit in to the ram

#

but having more bandwidth will benefit, ie having 2 or 4 sticks depending on dual or quad channel

supple bane
#

i had 2x4 now i have 2x8 sticks

sonic osprey
#

so unless game uses more than 8g ram, there should be no difference if they have same mhz

#

and even by getting faster ram, there will be minimal performance gains after 3200mhz or so

storm osprey
#

jesus ssd prices are dropping faster than i thought, ill just keep waiting

prime jasper
#

Minimal yes but for special cases like very high hz and 4k, ram scales excellently past 3200mhz, yeah not as crazy good from 2133 to 3200mhz but it still scales.

#

Only if your GPU's are really pushing some frames

supple bane
#

i should consider an ssd tbh, like i only have a 1tb hdd and i only have 75 gbs left, i mean thats only a game these days

elfin scroll
#

SSD is worth it

#

It's a huge improvement to your setup

supple bane
#

so lets say i did... how would i move windows over from my hard drive to my ssd

elfin scroll
#

Hmm

#

You have to re-install

#

Unfortunately

#

As far as I know, that is the only way, I could be wrong

supple bane
#

so, i dont have a disk or a code, how would i re-install?

#

im dont know much about this side of software 😃

elfin scroll
#

You need to create a bootable USB Drive

#

You can find YT videos about it

supple bane
#

ooh wait, theres a usb stuck on the inside of my case, maybe that has something to do with it?

#

it came with my system

elfin scroll
#

Once you've re-installed Windows, you need to buy a key and activate your windows

#

What sort of USB is that?

storm osprey
#

@supple bane samsung and some other ssd manufacturers come with their own software for transferring your OS

supple bane
#

just like a thumb drive

storm osprey
#

its always recommended to do a clean install though

elfin scroll
#

Could you find a picture of it?

#

I'm not too sure what you are talking about

storm osprey
#

most likely a usb that comes with a comp has the OS installed on it

#

if you have an extra drive around you can unplug your hdd, plug in new hdd and plug in usb to see if that does have windows on it

elfin scroll
#

If that's the case you could use it to re-install windows, right?

supple bane
#

Wait I can’t send photos sad

storm osprey
#

most likely, the only problem i can think of is im not sure how he would verify it as a legitimate windows copy

#

granty, use gyazo

#

its what i do

#

only trusted and above can post directly

elfin scroll
#

Yeah

#

You can use Imgur or some 3rd party website to post it here

supple bane
#

so my laptop didnt blow up LUL

#

guess thats a good sign

storm osprey
#

ohh youre using a laptop?

supple bane
#

oh wait i was talking to uncle cali in dm

#

i sent him a pic of the drive in my computer and i said i would test it on my laptop because its worth about 1/8th of the price of my pc heh

#

i guess what could go that wrong if i plug in a usb but eh you can never be too careful

storm osprey
#

could be a usb stick that bricks electronics

supple bane
#

anyway on this thumb drive theres a file named recovery

#

so i guess it does what it says on the tin

#

so that was a waste of time i guess, i dont think you can download windows with a recovery file

storm osprey
#

hmm, i havent messed with usb installs

supple bane
#

i guess i would have to buy a new copy of windows then if i wanted to get an ssd

#

well i guess not necessarily if i kept windows on my hdd but then whats the point of getting an ssd

storm osprey
#

you could try your hand at windows customer service and ask them what you could do

supple bane
#

maybe

storm osprey
#

iirc theres a scenario that lets you be able to use 1 windows copy at a time, but you can install it on anything

supple bane
#

i dont even know if i have the power cable available that i would need

storm osprey
#

power cable for your ssd?

#

those are like 1 dollar a piece

supple bane
#

oh right

#

when i watched a video the dude was saying that there should be a cable lying around in your case for it somewhere

storm osprey
#

those cables would come with the MB

#

if you bought a premade its either in the case or they gave you a "goodies" bag of all the extras i would assume

#

ive always built my own

supple bane
#

this is my first pc, also yes they did give me a goodies bag, i did see some cables in there, guess i will go check

#

i think it is a sata cable tho, at least from what i remember

storm osprey
#

theres sata power and sata data

supple bane
#

ye ik

#

and ik i have some spare sata data slots on my mobo

#

but its just power im going to have to figure out

storm osprey
#

what do you mean?

supple bane
#

i mean you need to have the power for the ssd and the sata cable for it, i need to get the things for the power

storm osprey
#

that should have came in your goodies bag as well

supple bane
#

there is what i think is a normal data sata cable as it says 6gb/s on the side and some mounting brackets

#

also i have taken enough of your time now, ill figure the rest out my self, thx for the help 😃

supple bane
#

nah i dont think it would be 30 series, not yet at least

steep gust
#

We know exactly what it is

supple bane
#

what is it?

steep gust
#

The budget 2060 variant without the RTX features

#

1660 or 1660ti or whatever they call it

supple bane
#

oh right

#

i would doubt a 30 series would have 6gb of ram anyway

#

if and when that does release it will probs have a crazy amount of the stuff

steep gust
#

and I doubt they would release the 3GB 2060, but it might happen

storm osprey
#

i thought me saying 3060ti was an obvious joke

sonic osprey
#

pff they gonna skip 3xxx, because ryzen cpus, its 4060ti

#

dual socket boards are for workstation tasks

#

you can virtualize into "2 PCs" but you can already do that with a single CPU build

#

dual sockets just exist for people who really fucking need their extra cores

#

dual socket has some huge issues

#

@supple bane Its only 12 slots, not that insane

It does support 512GB of RAM, but that also is weak compared to other CPUs

@winged tapir its $2800aud

#

steep gust
#

EYPC supports 8 channels per CPU

#

aka you could have 32 dimm slots on a dual socket mobo

#

Also the lack of socket retention on LGA3647 means bending pins on the motherboard is super easy if you mount it a few times (ie you do XOC)

Der8auer said he bent pins on 3 of them? IDK it was a lot and the 3175X should have been PGA not LGA

latent light

PGA >>> LGA especially on huge CPUs like Xeon and Epyc

can you get a replacement if you accidently bend a pin on a LGA mobo?

How can I play 1440p 144hz with a 1080p 60hz capture card?

supple bane
#

you can play the game in 1440p but you wont be able to record the footage at that resolution, the same can be said for the hz, it should still record it np even if you are playing at 1440p

pallid silo
#

@supple bane ahh okay!! :/ I have a streaming PC yesterday I got my capture card :) and like 3 months ago I upgraded to 1440p now in slightly regretting that decision because now I cant do it :(

#

@supple bane what should I do? As I saw a video to enable DSR and I heard that lowers fps as rendering two monitors and some games it doesn't work on

supple bane
#

if you are planning on streaming i wouldnt bother with having 1440p anyway as many people dont have the connection speeds to stream at that, i would say just stream at 1080p

pallid silo
#

@supple bane I am gonna be streaming at 900p 60fps but I want my gaming PC to play at 1440p like you can play at 2 different resolutions

supple bane

like i said, you should still be able to play the game at what ever quality you want, then in your streaming software you set what you would want to stream at, as far as the two different resolutions i wouldnt know how to do that

shouldnt the card just capture the image as 1080p even if it is inputted as 1440p ? you can then even downscale it in obs if needed

#

ie the card only records 1080p from the stream it receives

#

so it will do some automatic downscaling

#

shrug, guess the capture cards dont actually work that way, kinda useless then I guess, unless you get 4k capture card...

i have a really bad audio bug that keeps coming back to haunt me, the best way i can describe it is that there isnt any foot steps and the gun shot audio files are cutting out too early to make a really bad fast "tut" noise, i have a video as well

#

i have been getting it for a while now and admittedly if i restart my app it goes away most of the time but i dont want to do that when there isnt a join back feature

#

but the thing that makes it annoying is that it isnt just my gun, its every gun and explosive in the level

#

i have tried to google things but i havent found a single thing with my same issue

finite torrent
#

Ya there's ALOT of audio issues. The one I have the most problems with is not being able to hear my staghound taking damage

storm osprey
#

ive never had audio problems with the game

finite torrent
#

Lucky

storm osprey
#

really, the only problem ive had with the game is not getting CC

#

i had the game crash like once, glitch a couple of times

finite torrent
#

There's also just lots of time (mostly at the start of a game) where just some sound is working and some isn't.

I have Ryzen 7 2700/16gb-vengeance/970Evo-hdd/RTX2070/Dell-1440p gsync with OS @ 144hz and getting 60-70fps in bfv with latest nvidia drivers and bfv updates…… I was hoping 90-100fps at least. Rtx off or on doesn't really help either. What are you guys getting out of your 1440p in FPS?

storm osprey
#

rtx off should help A LOT

#

i have a 4790, 16gb of ram, and a 1080 at 1440p, i play with "try hard" settings, basically everything low/off except textures

#

in mp i wanna say i get avg 110 fps

#

just depends on maps and whats going on

karmic cloak
#

I will give that a shot and change the gforce experience settings lower - the optimal settings look great but fps are crap on my end

prime jasper
#

@karmic cloak are you using dx11 or dx12?

karmic cloak
#

im at dx11

prime jasper
#

use dx12, works much better for me on my 2700x

storm osprey
#

yea dx 12 also works better for me

prime jasper
#

you can also try toggling future frame rendering

storm osprey
#

turn it off

#

it just adds input lag for smoother experience

karmic cloak
#

if I use dx12 and restart the game honestly the fps are 5fps lower but some action scenes freeze at random times

storm osprey
#

in a shooter, you want the least input lag

#

also, dont use geforce experience, im sure its better now, but before that program caused a lot of problems

karmic cloak
#

its weird its like after the game starts the beginning is a studders and clears up after your in the game for 5-10 min

storm osprey
#

the benefits to it are lame

prime jasper
#

what are you using to see fps?

storm osprey
#

me?

prime jasper
#

either

storm osprey
#

i just use in game overlay

#

either the one you set up through origin or with the console command, i dont remember

prime jasper
#

I find geforce experience overlay fps to work quite well, and it can be toggled off quickly. @karmic cloak whats your mobo?

storm osprey
#

im sure the fps counter is fine

#

but i remember reading a while ago that geforce experience changes stuff through your files and it can mess things up pretty badly

karmic cloak
#

here is what is crazy - I had a 27" Lenovo 60hz monitor that I overclocked to 85hz and it would play at 85hz the whole time. I went out and bought a nice Gsync Dell 27" monitor u2718q and get lower fps with gsync and v sync off in bfv …..wtf

prime jasper
#

vsync should be off, but I use gsync with a 2080 and get 100+ on a dg2716 144hz

storm osprey
#

thats probably because you lenovo monitor was 1080p

#

so it was easier to run

karmic cloak
#

the mb is x470 aorus

storm osprey
#

gsync and hz have nothing to do with your performance

karmic cloak
#

yea the Lenovo was 1080

#

im not overclocking either - tried that with video card and cpu and it was more a pain in the ass than it was worth for me with shit locking up during game play...I just want to play

storm osprey
#

gpu oc is pretty easy

prime jasper
#

ok so ryzen is very sensitive to RAM timings and clock, make sure that your sticks are in the motherboards QVL. If so, make sure you are using the XMP timings. Back off any overclocks and check temps too while playing.

#

now pbo/xfr works fine as long as you are not pushing it too far on a stock cooler. I have a tower cooler and hit about 4.3 all cores while playing

karmic cloak
#

I believe there was only one setting in the bios I changed to optimal and it was something with the ram speed to 3200 -

prime jasper
#

but is that what your sticks are actually rated at per the QVL?

karmic cloak
#

default settings had it on something - I bought the ddr4 3200mhz vengeance lpx ram

#

basically I went to microcenter and told the guy I need a machine that kicks ass and got pretty good parts except the video card ...if I could go back I would have just got the 1080ti

prime jasper
#

curious, what brand is your card?

karmic cloak
#

gigabyte rtx 2070 foundation

storm osprey
#

i mean, with rtx on, and ultra settings at 1440p isnt 60 fps to be expected?

karmic cloak
#

pretty much spent close to 3k but getting shit fps

#

oh its at something like 2560x144

storm osprey
#

3k for what?!

prime jasper
#

I think thats not american dollars lol

storm osprey
#

i sure hope so

prime jasper
karmic cloak
#

yea close to 3000.00 for everything ….. im happy with everything but the fps performance

storm osprey
#

USD?

karmic cloak
#

yep that's the one

storm osprey
#

is that including monitor, mouse, keeb, headset, etc?

karmic cloak
#

yea everything

storm osprey
#

usd?

karmic cloak
#

yea about 250 in taxes so if you take that out

prime jasper
#

do you use Aorus Graphics engine and Ryzen master to check temps/clocks?

karmic cloak
#

I have them installed but don't really fiddle with it much

#

i tried overclocking and battle field would freeze up after a couple of hours and freeze

#

annoying so running without overclocking made all of that bs stop

#

i was entertaining the thought of a water cooled cpu fan

prime jasper
#

yeah BF is extremely sensitive to OC. using prime95 or cinebench is what I use to test stability

#

but I would use those utilities like on a second screen while playing and make sure your thermals are ok and the clock speeds look good

karmic cloak
#

i get ufo benchmarks with userbenchmarks

#

i bought another benchmark program for 5.00 called 3d benchmark and that a good score …

finite torrent
#

I bought a bench

storm osprey
#

when did you build this? i just put a build together with a 9700k, gtx 2080, 16gb of ram with monitor for 2500

prime jasper
#

@karmic cloak looks like youve got OC mode and game mode, which do you use?

karmic cloak
#

the wife went out of town to see family on Christmas eve.... i went to microcenter that day !ha

#

i leave it on normal

storm osprey
#

ok, prices were higher then, and in store wouldnt save as much as you could

#

lol @ buying when the wife is out xD

#

whenever i order anything i hope it comes in when my gf isnt home

karmic cloak
#

i know … time was against me

prime jasper
karmic cloak
#

mine looks a little diff from that one

#

i think it varies with which mother board you have

prime jasper
#

try gaming mode and see if that helps

karmic cloak
#

well shit, i just looked

#

its that app but it's on silent

prime jasper
#

problem #1

karmic cloak
#

says cpu 1600 and ram 14002

prime jasper
storm osprey
#

you need turbo jets for gaming

prime jasper
#

set those all the to max

#

thats what I do on my card, works great

karmic cloak
#

i clicked gaming and it just changes the cpu to 1720

#

the ram stayed as is

prime jasper
#

right, so do the changes above too and try it again. now it should be getting all the juice it needs

#

the power target is important as that allows it draw max power under load

karmic cloak
#

do you run your on gaming or OC?

prime jasper
#

I have an EVGA card so it looks different, I dont have those modes but I do have power/temp targets

#

I also overclock my memory by 1000mhz which is piss easy and doesnt need any voltage fiddling on mine

karmic cloak
#

cool i will give all this a shot when i get home, im using at work using teamviewer to view my settings

#

thanks for your help

prime jasper
#

great, should be much better now that the card isnt trying to stay all cool and quiet. needs to be hot and loud!

storm osprey
#

well.. not hot

#

thats still bad xD

karmic cloak
#

i will crank them up to max wheni get home

prime jasper
#

yeah well cards are funky like that. they will pull clocks to stay cooler lol

#

if the mode is such

karmic cloak
#

think a water cooled cpu will help or not really

prime jasper
#

and we arent dealing with watercooling here. since your cpu is multplier locked not much point. wait for ryzen 3000 series to drop

finite torrent
karmic cloak
#

yea im want that ryzen 2 when its out in july

#

more power!

#

forgot the mention the powersupply is evga 750 g3

prime jasper
#

clarksonspeed.gif

#

great power supply, I have one too. isnt sweating at all

karmic cloak
#

sweets

#

so if you have a 1080 well over 100fps - i hopefully should get near 100fps (hopes)

prime jasper
#

2080 but yes

storm osprey
#

i have the 1080

prime jasper
#

on dx12

#

no rtx/dlss

karmic cloak
#

i thought turning the dx12 automatically enabled rtx ...you just have your rtx manually off from that point right?

prime jasper
#

well no its a toggle on/off switch

karmic cloak
#

gotcha

prime jasper
#

so just make sure its off

karmic cloak
#

i will give that a try too … i was hoping to use this rtx 2070 with at least rtx ...but we'll see

#

ok - i will leave it off

prime jasper
#

well RTX is so damn new its all half assed. first gen tech is always like this

#

and it only affects windows/puddles in BF. I heard its much better with Metro Exodus

karmic cloak
#

i thought of the 2060 being that way too

#

yea i friends are all into apex right now but enjoy bfv to much

storm osprey
#

you can use rtx, and it looks cool, but if fps is your priority then rtx isnt for that

long sphinx
#

any OC experts here?

storm osprey
#

not an expert, but have OC'ed

#

basically all i do is google what i want to OC and see whats safe, and follow those steps

long sphinx
#

so when you OC the cpu, if you keep the chip under lets say 65 degrees celsius

#

you are fine?

#

because i have a high end motherboard with like 12 vrms

storm osprey
#

generally speaking i think most cpus are fine as long as they are under 90c

long sphinx
#

but im afraid of putting too much voltage to the chip, even if the temps are great

storm osprey
#

65c is definitely in safe thermal range, for any cpu

#

thats why you google your exact products OC forums

long sphinx
#

the voltage reads are already way past red

#

but the temps are ok

#

can you kill your cpu with voltage even if temp readings are great?

storm osprey
#

theres still problems that can happen with overvolting outside of thermals

prime jasper
#

the exact 'safe' voltage depends on the CPU in question really

long sphinx
#

i5 760

#

old school

prime jasper
#

oh wow yeah thats going back a bit lol

long sphinx
#

the worst part is that i get bsods not while stress testing but when its idle and im afk -__-

storm osprey
#

1.4 seems to be the safe voltage

long sphinx
#

or using chrome

storm osprey
#

what voltage are you using atm?

long sphinx
#

i just cleared c mos and its amazing testing with bf1 stock its like 35 fps tops even in small maps

#

and when i crank it to 4.2 ghz @1.375vcore its rock solid 60fps even in scar

#

but then again when i turn on the pc the next day it crashes while im making cofee

#

75fps max with vsync off

#

i saw a thread saying that it may be vdroop

#

i have llc enabled (it can only be on or off no multiple settings)

#

lemme check the vcore now

#

now its set to 3.5ish ghz all auto, mobo chose 1.25vcore

#

and like 1.1vtt

#

i need to reach those 4.2ghz thou to fully balanced the entire rig with the gtx 970

#

its perfect 1:1 ratio 95%cpu use 95% gpu use

prime jasper
#

Im actually amazed you are still putting up with something that old lol

long sphinx
#

dude im amazed and proud as fuck of this rig

#

bf1 with hbao, taa, high post processing, 115% res scale and its smooth as butter, when its maxed out

storm osprey
#

why 115% max res scale?

long sphinx
#

ok so now its 4.2 at 1.4vcore BUT with llc off, so its 1.35 when idle

#

to get better defined edges?

#

what im afraid of is vtt is 1.4 vcore as well and the numbers are red o_o
