[dawn galleon]

it was from R/hardwareswap on reddit

[latent light]

lol

[dawn galleon]

its an MSI MAG27CQ

[latent light]

that's how my brother traded his vega 56 for a founders edition gtx 1080

using hardwareswap

[dawn galleon]

yeah its really reliable

[minor turret]

in my country vegas held up their value so well

[latent light]

I wanted a Vega 56 pretty bad

[minor turret]

didnt crash until 1660ti started shitting on v56

[latent light]

Vega 56 is probably the best overclocking card

[dawn galleon]

would it be worth it if i built a new pc with an RTX 2060 and R7 2700?

[minor turret]

it has most likely degradation issues

or possibly drivers that reduce performance as time went on

[latent light]

no kyoto, just wait for 3rd gen ryzen tbh

[dawn galleon]

my pc is on pending sale rn for 900 and im building a new one

[latent light]

2600X is still good

[dawn galleon]

dont they come out summer?

[latent light]

yes

[dawn galleon]

the Zen 2

[latent light]

probably in june

[dawn galleon]

ok actually thats pretty close

[latent light]

almost 2 months away

the announcement is pretty close

[dawn galleon]

my new pc builds gonna be R7 2700. RTX 2060 , 32 GB RAM

ill try to fit 1000 in that budget

[latent light]

1070 Ti to 2060 is no difference

they are almost the same

[dawn galleon]

would i be able to get a 2070 in a 1000 budget?

[latent light]

nah

could go with just 16GB ram, still plenty even for streaming tbh

[minor turret]

tbh only upgrade id go for is 1080ti or 2080ti and both have dogshit value compared to performance you already have

[latent light]

^

[minor turret]

maybe radeon vii if i wanted to tinker

[latent light]

1000 budget means card that's 400 or under

graphics card should be roughly 40% of your whole budget

[minor turret]

a 1080ti used if you can snipe it from local market

[dawn galleon]

ohh okay

i got my 1070ti from ebay auction for 220

[latent light]

lol damn

[dawn galleon]

well plus 20 shipping

so 240

[prime jasper]

I just got my RTX 2080

[dawn galleon]

it has no backplate tho

[minor turret]

how long ago?

[dawn galleon]

but its in vertical rn

[prime jasper]

had some extra dosh to whip out yknow

[minor turret]

240 sounds about right current prices

maybe bit lower

[dawn galleon]

about 4 months ago, been using it overclocked +200 mhz

stable and sweet

[supple bane]

I can get my 1060 3gb to almost 2100 mghz on the core clock

[steep gust]

+200mhz means nothing

Say the actual clocks

[long sphinx]

anyone here plays bf5 with a gtx 970?

[supple bane]

It’s stable at around 2150 but gets slightly hot at that

And memory I can get to 4200 mghz

[long sphinx]

admin is typing 👀

[flint locust]

@long sphinx yes, its not bad. I did overclock it and it runs high all the time

lol

[long sphinx]

solid 60fps 1080p?

awesome

[latent light]

if you want best performance out of your 970, turn everything to low and resolution scale to 80%

[steep gust]

Everything should be low on lower end GPUs anyways

The 970 is about what

[long sphinx]

ill try my bf1 settings they should be fine

[steep gust]

1060?

eh no not really

[supple bane]

roughly

[latent light]

970 = 1060 3gb

[steep gust]

BFV is a lot more CPU intensive than BF1

[flint locust]

I play with the tryhard settings, aka low on everything besides a few on ultra

usually 120+ fps

Don't need anything above since i have a 120hz monitor

[supple bane]

i should think about changing my settings really

[long sphinx]

yeah i only bump post proccesing and shadows to high

[steep gust]

shadows oof

rip fps

[long sphinx]

those make the most visual difference

at least in bf1 i can manage those np

[flint locust]

I was gonna upgrade but RTX series is... trash so not yet

[supple bane]

Atm im @ 1080p and medium settings

[latent light]

my RX 580 manages 80 fps with everything on ultra

[long sphinx]

it makes the shadows so much better than medium

[steep gust]

Meh the RTX lineup is bad at price to performance

but it ain't bad

I might buy a Radeon 7 and a waterblock tho

That shit can scale nicely

[latent light]

it's very hard to get proper contact with radeon 7

[flint locust]

I upgraded everything else in my pc besides the GPU less than a year ago

[long sphinx]

and post processing is night and day between medium and high

at least in bf1

[steep gust]

meh proper contact is worth nearing a 2080ti in some titles

[flint locust]

2080ti costs $1500+ where i live, hard pass

[latent light]

radeon 7 performance is better than 2080 in BFV I think

[long sphinx]

2080ti is a meme

[steep gust]

Yeah it should be way cheaper

but its not

[flint locust]

I have used the 2080ti before, meh

[latent light]

2080 Ti should be $800 max

[supple bane]

I’ve considered the 2060, I even think that’s over priced

[steep gust]

Depending on how well the Radeon 7 scales into 1440p, I might go with it over a used 1080ti

[latent light]

2080 $550
2070 $400
2060 $300

[long sphinx]

used 1080ti>all

[latent light]

does 8GB GDDR6 = 11GB GDDR5X

[flint locust]

Might end up buying one of those from someone

[steep gust]

@latent light uh no?

Not how memory works

You can't magically fit 11GB of data in 8 because it has a 6 instead of a 5

[long sphinx]

he means price i guess

[latent light]

idk, some dude told me that 6GB gddr6 is as good as 8gb gddr5

[steep gust]

and he is lying

bandwidth is not the only important thing in memory

[supple bane]

I wouldn’t say so, maybe in games that use less memory just because it’s faster but I think in games where it uses more memory I think the more space will help more

That’s just coming from my very limited knowledge tho so hehe

[latent light]

when AMD was selling vega 56 for $280, they weren't making much profit

I hope they don't ever make a consumer grade GPU that uses HBM ever again

because HBM is too expensive

[steep gust]

doubt they will

[latent light]

HBM manufacturing and cost will never be as cheap as GDDR tbh

[steep gust]

yeah

its also not as old

[supple bane]

Is that a good thing tho. The fact that it’s new is just saying that it hasn’t had as much time to develop and become cheaper

[lunar aurora]

@latent light Thanks for the input like an hour ago about streaming BFV from a low-spec CPU.

Might have surprised you but it runs pretty well on High settings, if you have a good GPU of course. Seems like I gotta save up a lot more money, hopefully by Black Friday deals will be better.

[steep gust]

40fps is large fights is not pretty good

[lunar aurora]

I actually get 60+ FPS

[cedar kraken]

How come the dlss cant be turned on I have a 2080

[latent light]

do you have DXR on?

DLSS requires DXR to be enabled

[cedar kraken]

Yes

I'll try it again tonight because I have eww the new drivers now

[grizzled apex]

Too bad graphics cards are becoming expensive

It’s hard to find a sub-200$ that gives over 80 FPS on decent settings

[latent light]

RX 570/580 probably will

[prime jasper]

Predator is a mod

lel

@steep gust Congrats

[steep gust]

I got an orange name aka hardcore shitposter

[latent sapphire]

P much

[molten bramble]

uh

[coarse nimbus]

smh these trainees getting full of themselves

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m93S53eaXQ

Google is using a Radeon Pro V340 which is a dual Vega 56 on the same PCB

[red sundial]

i have gtx 1080ti / i7 8700k / 16gb ram ddr4 3000mhz is that normal i have 90 to 113 fps in low settings ? bcz in some benchmarks i seen ppl with same pc specs in low settings have a stable 150 fps

[latent light]

Do you have dual channel ram?

That's unusual

[red sundial]

yes i have

8gbx2

ps my cpu at 4.7ghz

[sacred walrus]

How are peoples fx chips preforming in firestorm compared to regular multiplayer modes.

[red sundial]

@latent light oh nvm i did dx12 on and boom 200 fps stable xD

[latent light]

DX12 works great on high-end hardware

[forest token]

well fudge, here I am still on windows 7 being a refusenik

[latent light]

https://i.gyazo.com/f442b8140fb5429d1d5d0288db7ff7a9.png

24 cores on AM4

[lofty light]

Sounds like they want a better space heater than Intel

[latent light]

GlobalFloundries's 12nmFDX process is an absurdly overlooked process that rivals TSMC's 7nmFF in many use cases, and in fact it would be a perfect candidate for the process to utilize for an I/O die-shrink for Zen 3 (Or even an RX 3050 or Zen 2 Laptop APU). That means AMD has nothing to worry about when it comes to filling up their wafer agreement with GlobalFoundries.

[gaunt verge]

Anyone still getting 'No online access' on BFV?

[steep gust]

@latent light rumors are rumors

Dual channel is not enough for 24c

And AM4 doesn't have enough pins

[fallen harbor]

What should one get if they wanted a top gaming pc nowadays?

[cedar arch]

i9s and 2080tis are the top of the line nowadays

[storm osprey]

TOP gaming? yea you just pick the stupidest stuff and put it together

i9 9700k, 2080ti, 32 gb of at least 3000mhz ram

if youre competitive a 1440p 144hz monitor, if youre about the stats, some 4k monitor

[supple bane]

@fallen harbor last time I checked the best gpu on the market is the rtx Titan pascal.. and best cpu on the market is an amd chip but I don’t remember the exact name

[fallen harbor]

ic thnx

[prime jasper]

Lel

Both of you are wrong

A correctly high end PC now is 9700k, z390 dark, 16gb 4400mhz ram, 2080ti matrix

For the normal users

If you have patience, 2 2080tis

matrix is THICC

[sonic osprey]

yep, I think midtier is now like 1070ti/1080 + 7700k

[prime jasper]

Atm the highest end gaming possible, w3175x, 2 rtx titans, 4266mhz hexa kit

In theory

Testing this theory out as we speak

[minor turret]

9700k for top of the line? nah bruh you go 9900k or bust

@prime jasper arent practical differences between rtx titan and 2080 ti pretty much nil?

[prime jasper]

For gaming the rtx titan and 2080ti are almost dead balls the same

The 9900k would get curbed stomped by the 9700k from sheer clock speed and high ram acceptance since less heat by half

9900k honestly is a meme

anyone tips? When i played a game and quit the server and try to join a new server i cant connect for a couple of times... everytime i get that message about the bandwidth... but when i connect to a server my ping is just 20... So does anyone have a fix for this problem? Already forwarded the ports, deleted the files from origin, even refreshing DNS doesnt help....

My buddy had this

also called EA Helpdesk but they gave as solution delete the temporary files. Helped one time after that no single time... Did a UO Trace but there is no package loss

Unfortunately your not going to like the fix

My buddy fixed it by a new os install

We still dont know till this day

Well its just weird

It is

Same issue with pubg aswell

It's really random

Only other game i have this is bf1

@knotty pilot that's nice

[minor turret]

@prime jasper bruh, you run 24/7 chiller, use it on 9900k

Has anyone tested whether new nvidia patch for firestorm does anything?

[prime jasper]

Binned 9900ks are 1800+$

There was only 2

Not a very good out come

I'd honestly go 2700x than even consider a 9900k

But I'm using a w3175x now

[prime jasper]

Join my server ZVEYfw

There is no GenderPayGab

[steep gust]

@prime jasper 3175X is worse than a 9700k / 9900k for gaming

The joys of ringbus vs mesh

[latent light]

he does overclocking and benchmarking

[steep gust]

uh

Not really

Psycho is just about flexing on us users who don't suicide their hardware with his gaming rig and less about benchmarks

[minor turret]

nah psycho is a nice person to have around

[tropic wigeon]

Anyone else having trouble with crashing to desktop while turning dx12 on?

All my drivers and windows 10 is up to date. I´d like to play BFV on DX12 since it gives a lot more fps on my side.

But since the new Nvidia driver update its constantly crashing. Is there anyone else with this problem and might have a solution?

My system:

Intel i7-6700k overclocked at 4,4 Ghz
16GB Ram
Gigabyte GTX 1080ti

[minor turret]

he suicides his stuff while telling others useful tips

[latent light]

I wonder how he can afford the stuff

[steep gust]

uh

PayPal Credit

@tropic wigeon Go back a driver

[prime jasper]

I got this CPU for gaming and benchmarks @steep gust

You know this

[steep gust]

Also some of the stuff is like "Don't do that, that will degrade it"

Did you really buy a 3175X?

[tropic wigeon]

Yeah I will give it a try now but wanted to ask if theres any other possible solution. Thx @steep gust

[prime jasper]

Yes

[latent light]

what motherboard did you get

[steep gust]

[prime jasper]

Dominus extreme

[latent light]

[steep gust]

I can see him already having the RAM, but that motherboard oof

[prime jasper]

Also the w3175x has a faster single core than a 9900k

[latent light]

$3,000 CPU and $1,700 motherboard

[steep gust]

Also have fun delidding it

[prime jasper]

And in games it's faster due to the hexa channel

[steep gust]

I really doubt the 3175X has a faster single core at the same clocks

Can we get a proper single core benchmark

Not CPU-Z

[prime jasper]

At same clock its tons faster

4.5ghz = 5.2 9900k

In games

[latent light]

try cinebench single core

[steep gust]

Yeah gaming is a flawed metric

[prime jasper]

Not really since we are gaymers

[steep gust]

Don't you already have the HoF cards?

[prime jasper]

Yes 2 labs

[steep gust]

yeah that is why your gaming is better

[prime jasper]

These results are done with gamer nexus

Look at his results

[steep gust]

Considering a 4.5ghz 3175X is drawing what

700w?

[prime jasper]

That's on normal water

[latent light]

run the 3175X with only 8 cores active and overclock them

[steep gust]

Then just buy a 9700k

[prime jasper]

Exactly what I'm doing, HT off, 6 cores on

I'm only doing this for the hexa channel

[latent light]

basically a 8600K with hexa-channel

[steep gust]

Which doesn't really boost gaming

[prime jasper]

I'm very bandwidth starved

It boost dramatically at 8k

Where I'm at

[steep gust]

don't you still have a 4k monitor?

[prime jasper]

Yes 4k 151hz

[steep gust]

and 8k is going to slam your GPUs and most likely your VRAM

[prime jasper]

It attempts yes

But games like gmod

No

[steep gust]

Gamer's Nexus review shows the 3175X losing to the 9900k

in gaming

[prime jasper]

The w3175x starts to be faster in games at 1440p

[steep gust]

You gain a slightly higher average fps

but your 1% and 0.1% shits itself

[prime jasper]

Remember that's normal water

Hes already overclocked on his 9900k

[steep gust]

I was looking at the overclocked 3175X

[prime jasper]

Now do the same results at anything past 4k

Now that 8x pcie gets slammed

And ram usgae

Skyrockets

[steep gust]

Then its not a CPU benchmark

Its a GPU benchmark

[latent light]

how far could you get a 2990WX if you only had between 4-8 cores active

[prime jasper]

That's why I said "bandwidth starved"

[steep gust]

Yeah because its constantly loading stuff into VRAM

[prime jasper]

Vram dosnt loose first

My actual ram

16gb of ram

Gone

Fast asfk

That's not supposed to happen

[steep gust]

Your RAM usage shouldn't change much with resolution 🤔

as long as you have enough VRAM

[prime jasper]

@latent light it will go slower since it needs its cores for each die

[latent light]

[prime jasper]

Well let's try it. If I'm dead balls wrong, I can return it

Also doing this to yeet kingpin and dr8 out of hwbot

And 3d mark

Since I do have 2.6ghz out of the gate gpus, and faster ram

Specially kingpin

Dr8 lost 2 channels

From ln2

[latent light]

can you return any hardware in the first month of buying it?

[prime jasper]

Yes

[steep gust]

Not if he suicides it with LN2

[prime jasper]

Rma

Is a thing

[steep gust]

and that is well

uh fraud

[prime jasper]

Well kingpin is using is own drivers

So dirty vs dirty

[steep gust]

So I would keep that plan to yourself because you will find no support here or on /r/overclocking

KINGPIN also gets the literal best bins

[prime jasper]

Everyone knows @steep gust

[steep gust]

If you kill a HOC Lab I'll buy it as a desk decoration

[prime jasper]

Kingpin gets best GPU binn

Not cpu

His CPU scores arnt that good

He does not get support for CPU side

That's why he keeps using his 2 year old 7980xe

[latent light]

I probably had the best binned 4690K in the world

[steep gust]

Probably not

[latent light]

5.25 GHz at 1.27v

[steep gust]

Intel likes to keep the best possible bins

[prime jasper]

Dis is true

[steep gust]

and when you think they make millions of CPUs

[prime jasper]

They keep the center of the wafers

[latent light]

they don't keep the center of the wafer for every wafer they make

they take a few

[steep gust]

Also when does 3D Mark quit scaling with cores?

I can't remember

I guess GN saw good gains going from a 9980XE to a 3175X

but like #2 has some pretty hardcore bins on his GPUs and CPU and is still 2000 points behind kingpin

Beating 4 1080ti in GPU score probably won't happen

[prime jasper]

Let me dream herald

[steep gust]

dream hard enough (and buy enough hardware) and you might be able to

[prime jasper]

But does kingpin have a daily mega chiller?

Nooooooo

King of da gaymers

I dont flex much

U know that

Plus rtx titans are power limited

[steep gust]

power mods duh

[prime jasper]

No software or hardmods can save them

[steep gust]

Just somehow get NVidia to fuck off with the power monitoring shit

[prime jasper]

Find me anyone that actually did a hardmod for rtx titan

[steep gust]

So you can epower them to hell

[prime jasper]

I havent

[steep gust]

what you mean a shunt mod isn't really a hardmod

blasphemy

[prime jasper]

Shunt only helps

Not get rid of it

People still hit limit when fully shunnted

[steep gust]

yeah you would need to solder like an epower or something to force 1.2v

Bypass the entire power monitoring them

[prime jasper]

Epower is the vrms

Ooooo

I see what you mean

not bad

[steep gust]

How did der8auer force voltages on was it Pascal?

Guessing that was changed

Turing seems to have a bunch of dumb power monitoring because an engineer got bored

[prime jasper]

Dr8 did it with a fucking raspberry pie

[latent light]

for some reason, people think RX 580s don't overclock well when they don't know that a 580 is just an overclocked 480

they are basically a factory oc 480

[prime jasper]

[latent light]

If I put my 580 down to 480 clocks, I can undervolt it like crazy

down to 900 mV

[prime jasper]

Damn

[steep gust]

Outside of the improvments

as manufacturing nodes age, they generally get better

[latent light]

like 14nm

[steep gust]

well 14nm also had generational improvements

Comparing Skylake to Coffeelake (at the same core counts) is a nice jump

Intel eventually stopped sitting on their asses with Rzyen

[sonic osprey]

Yo guys, play some games for a change

24/7 talking in game discord

[storm osprey]

im in here when im at work

[minor turret]

@sonic osprey you play the game nab, a solid 20%+ time goes to loading screens

[steep gust]

yeah I play Apex, etc aka a lot of down time

[sonic osprey]

I play apex too, mostly like 2min downtime/16-18min

[steep gust]

meh you can alt tab when like waiting around, etc

I can type really fast so its not hard

and games like Siege is probably like 60% downtime

[latent light]

https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-400mm-Silicone-Thermal-Heatsink/dp/B007PPEW52

amazing value for such a big thermal pad

400mm x 205mm x 0.5mm

0.5mm is what I need for the memory on my GPU

[steep gust]

Guessing the conductivity is less than ideal

[latent light]

it's good for memory

nothing more tbh

[steep gust]

VRAM doesn't need cooling if you have good airflow

[latent light]

tbh, I could just use little drops of thermal paste on each chip

[steep gust]

My 1080 doesn't have any contact on multiple memory modules

and I haven't noticed any issues

[latent light]

how much wattage is a memory chip

1-2W each on GDDR5?

[steep gust]

The chips itself don't draw much

[latent light]

the artifacts I get on my RX 580 are only on cold boot

when I restart, they go away

I think the memory is sensitive to cold or something

if the card is already warm, no chance of getting artifacts on boot

I probably won't get pads for the memory, considering how hard it was to pull the heatsink off the card

the stock thermal pads were very sticky lol

[steep gust]

My 1080 has higher power draw GDDR5 and its an expensive card and no thermal pads on memory did annoy me slightly

[latent light]

it didn't come with pads on memory?

[steep gust]

nope

[latent light]

[steep gust]

I didn't remove any thermal pads there

and that is very clearly a micron GDDR5X module

[latent light]

yeah

was it new?

[steep gust]

Yes

[latent light]

[steep gust]

and it wasn't a "well we forgot" shit that they pull

It was a "we didn't do it"

Although the other modules only have a tiny piece of aluminum covering them

with a probably very shitty thermal pad

[lofty light]

What card is it?

[steep gust]

strix 1080

[latent light]

yeah, they never forget to do something on an assembly line because there's multiple people doing 1 specific thing to each card as it rolls down the line

[lofty light]

Ah yeah, just saw the fans

[lofty light]

EVGA used to be pretty lax with their pads until the 1080 FTW debacle

[latent light]

may need to remove that block that surround the contact area

because that would get in the way of airflow to the memory

[steep gust]

EVGA's 1080 exploding was a bad batch of electrical components they couldn't test

[latent light]

EVGA is good for RMA though

[lofty light]

I have one of those 1080 FTW cards sitting dead in its box yeah it was but normal users just heard explosions and went NUP

[vagrant quartz]

does anyone have a 1660 yet and how is your bf v performance with it?

[mental lichen]

No fair... u guise can post pics

[lofty light]

Yes

[latent light]

is GDDR5X more power efficient than GDDR5?

[steep gust]

No

Its worse

Its literally a binned GDDR5 running faster

and that almost certainly needs more voltage

[jade ridge]

what settings to have to get the best visibilltiy to see the enemies better ?

[latent light]

That's not about tech, you probably get an answer faster in the general or battlefield channel lol

[prime jasper]

@jade ridge you will be permanently banned for doing any scripts for that mod

[jade ridge]

@prime jasper im not gonna mod it, just change the ingame settings

[latent light]

removed the plate that contacts the memory

just to give the exposed memory some more room to breathe lol

[tame zephyr]

In regards to FPS in BFV, in all but one map I have good fps (70-80), but in Rotterdam my FPS is lower, and stutters more. Am I the only one with an issue like that? I have a GTX 1060

I even tried overclocking my Ryzen 5 1400 to 3.9 GHZ to see if my cpu is the problem, but that didnt help

[lofty light]

@latent light is that memory plate a different metal than the rest of the cooler? 👀

[latent light]

feels like aluminum

@tame zephyr how many sticks of ram do you have

[tame zephyr]

2 sticks, 16 GB DDR4

2 8gb sticks

[latent light]

tbh, Ryzen 5 1400 will experience some stutter in BFV

4c/8t under 4GHz just won't do that great in that game

also if you have the 3GB gtx 1060, that could be a problem if any graphic settings are above medium

[tame zephyr]

I do have a 3gb 1060

[latent light]

what graphic settings do you play at

[tame zephyr]

Low everything except mesh is high

[latent light]

do you monitor VRAM usage?

[tame zephyr]

Not that much

Theres the occasional check on task manager but thats all

[latent light]

my RX 580 averages 80 fps on all ultra settings 1080p
1% lows of 60-65ish

I also have a R5 1600

in which BFV favors more cores

[tame zephyr]

Interesting

[latent light]

1600 is at 3.8 GHz

[tame zephyr]

I’m considering upgrading my CPU and GPU soon, any recommendations?

I’m still sticking to AMD in regards to cpu

[latent light]

CPU - Ryzen 5 2600
GPU - GTX 1660 Ti

for BFV, an RX 580 would be a nice step over the GTX 1060 3GB tbh

but for other games, maybe a 10-15% difference lol

[tame zephyr]

Will it last me a while? I was thinking the 1060 and r5 1400 would do back in 2017, two yrs later its okay still, just wish I can have more FPS

I have a 144hz monitor, and nowadays the most fps i get is 60-80 on most games

[latent light]

BFV is the most CPU demanding shooter game currently

you could maybe hold out for 2-3 months when the 3rd gen Ryzen CPUs come out and offer better value and overall performance

[tame zephyr]

how long should the time be until you upgrade? I’m nearing two yrs with my stuff, so idk

[latent light]

forgot to ask but what is the speed of your ram?

[tame zephyr]

2400 i believe

I tried to OC it, though its quite complex for me tbh

[latent light]

first gen Ryzen can only support 2666 without an overclock

and an average user can only get to like 3000 max with an overclock lol

[tame zephyr]

lol

but what do u think? Should I start planning to upgrade my pc? Not like a new build, just newer parts

[latent light]

yeah you could plan

could wait for whatever 6 core/12 thread Ryzen 3000 series CPU comes out

all you would have to do is update the BIOS

[tame zephyr]

well, I’m planning to strike for an upgrade during the summer/June

[latent light]

which requires a USB flashdrive formatted in FAT32

[tame zephyr]

alrighty

[latent light]

yeah June is supposedly Ryzen 3rd gen launch

could be before

[tame zephyr]

Junes also when my pc turns two lol

[latent light]

lol

[tame zephyr]

But, I’m debating if I should go for a 1660 ti or go further for more fps

I wanna do >144 fps on 1080p

[latent light]

for BFV, a Vega 56 beats a 1660 Ti and comes close to a GTX 1080

https://i.gyazo.com/c1169c2d0d3284d6dade811f81dfce3c.png

Battlefield games have ran great on AMD cards for a while now

[tame zephyr]

Ooo interesting, plus my monitor has freesync so it’d be very beneficial

[latent light]

yes, one disadvantage is power consumption though

1660 Ti is 120w tdp

Vega 56 210w tdp

although people don't care much about power consumption unless it's ridiculously high

[vagrant quartz]

which 1660ti would you recommend?

[latent light]

any of them that are on sale lol

I should of gotten a XFX Vega 56 when it was only $280

[prime jasper]

dang, vega56 on bfv is alot better than I thought

[latent light]

it's pretty amazing

it's very close or equal to a GTX 1080 iirc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp1QZfIQ-VM

in this video, Vega 56 actually pulls ahead of the GTX 1080

and the frametimes are smoother lol

[tame zephyr]

Is it better to go for a used vega 56? Stupid question, but the prices are insane

For new

[latent light]

used vega 56 might be ok, just make sure you have a way of getting your money back if it's a scam lol

@tame zephyr tbh, since you said you will upgrade by June, Navi will be revealed by then

[lofty light]

If you're tight on money I'd get used and look at probably a mid range NVIDIA card

[latent sapphire]

How outdated is an R9 200

[lofty light]

👀

[latent sapphire]

I'm tech illiterate and I haven't updated my pc in years but it still runs most things well enough not to explode

[latent light]

from 2014 I think

[latent sapphire]

Ouch

[lofty light]

I used to run Doom 2016 on Mac settings on a 650Ti

Was actually real good for a cheap ass card

[latent sapphire]

I need a cheap new video card I think

Anything is probably better than what I have now

[lofty light]

Tbh only get a new one if you're unhappy with what you're getting in frames

[latent sapphire]

Id say I am at least with battlefield

There's times where it runs fine and then other days it just completely shits itself

I have to run it on medium and low

[lofty light]

What's your CPU?

Oof

[latent sapphire]

I'll have to check, I've said before my PC is a Frankenstein's monster of parts I slowly upgrade when I'm feeling like I'm doing well enough on money

[lofty light]

Thats what most pc fans are tbh

And my bros all have my hand me down parts

[latent sapphire]

I just have a bunch of stuff my stepdad recommends to me since he did tech support and PC building for a living

I still have a broken ass CD-ROM drive in my pc and never cared to replace it

[lofty light]

Lol

My uncle used to give me bunches of old computer parts to just destroy when I was like 5

[latent sapphire]

Lmao

I would've loved that as a kid

[lofty light]

Main reason I got into tech now tbh

[latent sapphire]

Honestly all the random numbers confuse me, not to mention the terms all sounds like gibberish sometimes lol

[lofty light]

It's all just practice tbh

[latent sapphire]

Yeah my older brother said he'd help me get it sometime since he's gotten pretty experienced with it

[latent light]

thermal pads aren't that cheap

https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Thermal-Efficient-Conductivity-Handling/dp/B00UYTU6Z6

[lofty light]

Ooooooofffffffff

[latent sapphire]

[hardy stump]

more builds like cammo

[atomic atlas]

so does my life

[thorn zephyr]

[minor turret]

14.5x14.5cm pad of thermal pad for less than 20 bucks is not cheap? Oo

and tbh, can be had for less than 10 dollars if you buy a good chinese brand

[finite torrent]

I was about to say go to tech then I realized this tech.

[lavish dagger]

@latent light is the radeon VII showing up yet improvements or still meh?

[steep gust]

Radeon VII ain't bad

Its actually quite good with a waterblock

[lavish dagger]

Been thinking about getting one to replace my 1080ti

[steep gust]

Not worth it

That is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade

[lavish dagger]

Yeah, nvidia added freesync but my bil or friend would buy the 1080ti and radeon vii would be almost free

[steep gust]

It trades blows with the 2080

which trades blows with the 1080ti

At fully stock

[lavish dagger]

In BFV it is faster

[steep gust]

2080 and Radeon 7 can overclock (Radeon 7 overclock farther) much better and beat out a 1080ti easily

Radeon 7 with a waterblock can trade blows with the 2080ti in select titles

[lavish dagger]

https://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/Radeon_VII/images/battlefield-5_2560-1440.png

I wonder if they've made driver improvements yet but faster than the 1080ti then

[steep gust]

That review is missing a lot

1% and 0.1% fps

[lavish dagger]

Which I believe is better on amd's

[steep gust]

and one game

at 1440p

Is not a good reason to spend $700

[lavish dagger]

It would be sell 1080ti for $550 and buy $700 card

[steep gust]

for what

5% at best in select titles?

[lavish dagger]

Not dealing with nvidia droppping driver support after 2.5 years?

[steep gust]

NVidia recently dropped support for Kepler

Which came out in 2012

Pascal has years till it will be out dated

[lavish dagger]

Yeah, but like the 6 and 8 series they had a bad habbit about reducing performance on them to push you to upgrade

[steep gust]

uh no

That is very illegal

Games become more demanding as new hardware comes out

[lavish dagger]

Not really, but was very obvious on the 8800gt's

They would ruin the open gl performance on them, if you downgraded back to old drivers performance would return

But would require latest drivers to play newer games

[steep gust]

OpenGL is worthless for games nowadays

[lavish dagger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRhm4aGNI3o

[steep gust]

Anyways

[lavish dagger]

This was apparent in my geforce 1, geforce 3ti 200, 5700, 8800gt

[steep gust]

You should wait 2-3 years for driver support to start dropping (It won't for like 5 more years)

[lavish dagger]

I quit buying them after that

[steep gust]

then buy a new GPU

Because tech is always moving forwards

So in 2 years the Radeon 7 will be out dated

[prime jasper]

yep

[supple bane]

any ssd brands you guys highly recommend?

[storm osprey]

samsung

crucial

im sure theres something thats technically better or something like that, but for standard gamer, i dont see any reason to get anything better

[supple bane]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-samsung-860-qvo-25-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-mjx-mlc-3d-v-nand-1gb-cache-read-550mb-s-write-520mb-s-96k

or this one

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/500gb-wd-blue-3d-25-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-3d-nand-read-560mb-s-write-530mb-s-95k-84k-iops-retail

i dont know whether to spend the extra money and get the 1tb

i bet i could fit almost all my games and windows onto a 500gb

[storm osprey]

qvo is new tech that is supposed to be cheaper to manufacture, but for all meaningful purposes, is worse than the standard ssds that has flash memory (i think thats the main difference)

but flash memory prices have been getting cheaper for a while now

so the price gap isnt really that noticeable

[supple bane]

well if i could m.2 would what i get not matter what but my mobo doesnt have a slot i dont think,

well it would be impossible because there physically isnt any room for it

[storm osprey]

and the WD i remember hearing something about them not being worth it

i dont recall if that was about their m.2 ssds, or an early version 2.5

[steep gust]

SATA SSDs nowadays are all the same

The only difference is read / write tolerances

They can all saturate SATA 3

[supple bane]

well the sata is capped at about 500 mbs so anything over that is a waste of money

[storm osprey]

i think the biggest selling point atm is warranty

[steep gust]

You might have some minor issues if you don't have any cache, but it shouldn't be bad

[supple bane]

i just need to decide what size i want really, and its the hardest choice i have ever made XD

[storm osprey]

are you doing anything outside of gaming?

[supple bane]

i do some cad here and there and the other main thing is programming but other than that no

[steep gust]

1TB is pretty cheap

and jumping up to 2TB costs more than buying a second drive normally

[storm osprey]

500gb would be more than enough imo to fit the games that really benefit from SSD load times

[supple bane]

i looked and roughly a 500gb is half the price of a 1tb. so maybe i get a 500gb and see if i need another and if so i cen plop another in, and theoretically i lose nothing

other than a drive bay

[storm osprey]

1tb does usually offer the best price per gb though

[steep gust]

500GB is around $50-60

1TB is around $100-120

[supple bane]

ye so its a bout half

[storm osprey]

with how the prices keep dropping, i would think that going 500gb would be the best case scenario

[steep gust]

but 1TB drives are faster

[storm osprey]

yea but for just gaming youre looking at a 1 min load time different vs 55 second load time difference

[steep gust]

and saturating SATA 3 is not the only requirement for a drive

[storm osprey]

the difference for load times between ssds in general just doesnt justify the cost

[supple bane]

if i was to get 2 500gb instead of 1tb, i would have to stick one to the drive bay stand, from what i know it only has 2 spaces

[steep gust]

double sided tape

Now anywhere is a drive bay

[supple bane]

ye thats what i mean

[storm osprey]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNMcW2tL3r4

and thats m.2 vs sata, and its like a couple seconds of a difference

[steep gust]

NVMe vs SATA

You can buy SATA M.2

[supple bane]

do you think i could squeeze them behind the back panel? then they could stay out the way

[steep gust]

Plenty of cases do

[storm osprey]

lots of cases have slots for ssds there

id imagine your case you could do the same

personally i get either crucial mx500 or samsung evo ssds

[supple bane]

i mean if it dont the double sided tape is an option

[storm osprey]

crucial are generally cheaper but samsung usually has deals that get them within 10 bucks

[supple bane]

im going to use a software to move windows as well btw.

[storm osprey]

errrr

i dont recommend it, but if you must im pretty sure samsung comes with software for that and iirc it was the best software for that

[supple bane]

but the one i watched a tutorial on, they didnt show how to move individual files, only shows how to move the whole hard drive to the ssd

[storm osprey]

i THINK that software is only for windows

otherwise you can just drag and drop

[supple bane]

i dont have a boot drive tho, so i wouldnt know how i would do a clean install of windows on the ssd

[storm osprey]

ive always had a boot drive so idk what to really tell you without doing research

im just saying that iirc samsung has software for that and it works the best for that scenario

[supple bane]

im guessing you can only get that software if you have the samsung ssd ?

[storm osprey]

iirc

its been a while since ive really paid attention to the ssd ecosystem

atm im just waiting for prices to keep dropping

[supple bane]

well, what is the big issue with using a software to move windows over ?

[storm osprey]

https://discordapp.com/channels/140933721929940992/422598689928773632/504798869532704794

since oct last yea ive been waiting, because they keep dropping

and im not sure problems came about then or now honestly, its probably just the purest in people to want to do a clean install

[supple bane]

because im planning on deleting alot of the files before hand anyway, and then re-download the games i want onto the ssd and then use the harddrive as my file dump, because atm my pc is a fucking mess with the files

[storm osprey]

is this a NEED purchase, or a really really want?

[supple bane]

well i dont have an ssd

and people keep telling me its life changing

im tired

[storm osprey]

its REALLY nice to have

[supple bane]

well

[storm osprey]

but honestly, its a luxury item

its like going from radio to spotify

[supple bane]

considering i only have 90gbs left...

i would need a new drive anyway

[molten coral]

I ditched my HDD, i've everything on SSD's.

[storm osprey]

or you could delete stuff

[supple bane]

stop trying to bring me round to not getting it XDDDD

you already done this with my gpu

jk jk

[storm osprey]

lol i know you though!

i do the same

[molten coral]

SSD's are 100% worth it.

[supple bane]

thank you

you will never stop me from wasting my money nyphon

muhahaha

[storm osprey]

lol i already have

[supple bane]

good point

[storm osprey]

or did you get a gpu

[supple bane]

no

[storm osprey]

so yea

[supple bane]

[storm osprey]

since you dont have an SSD i wouldnt be opposed to getting one

i would get a 500gb and go from there

[supple bane]

fair enough

[storm osprey]

https://www.pcgamer.com/best-ssd-for-gaming/

[supple bane]

the people that built my pc conveniently put 3 sata power cables in my drive bay ready, so i dont have to mess with that

[storm osprey]

samsung and mx 500 in top 3

i personally only get samsung and crucial ssds

[supple bane]

i might go with the 500gb samsung looking at that bar chart

i really dont think that im going to need a 1tb drive yet

[storm osprey]

what are the prices for a 500gb crucial mx500 vs samsung evo 860?

[supple bane]

i have a lot of house keeping to do with files, i have 600gb of family photos on an external harddrive, going through and deleting the ones i dont want isnt going to be fun

and then i should really do some house keeping on my pc

[storm osprey]

for me the mx500 is 10 bucks cheaper

[supple bane]

just checking now

ye same for me, £10 cheaper

another quick question, if anyone finds a white set of keycaps in the uk qwerty layout. please let me know....

i may have got an American layout kb

i have been looking for ages and i cant find any

wait... need vs want. its only the punctuation that changes, so i can just learn how to have it that way

IM LEARNING

lmao, the RX 580 beats the GTX 1070 in Division 2

Vega 64 beats 1080 Ti

at low/medium settings even Vega 64 beats 2080Ti

[lavish dagger]

Yeah crazy

[coarse nimbus]

games biased against nvidia cards

[minor turret]

wtf

is vega somehow offloading cpu load?

[prime jasper]

That's def driver issue's on that benchmark

there showing a 980ti loosing badly to a 1070

lel

1660 loosing to a 570

mmmm k

Yee this is def broken

asfk

[balmy mica]

i get really bad frame drop in BFv

like when i shoot my gun it drops to like 1

i have pretty much same FPS on every graphics settings

except from ultra

[latent light]

@prime jasper it's just division 2 optimization

also, 980Ti isn't losing badly to the 1070, it's only 2% behind which is normal in a lot of games

[prime jasper]

Should be the other ways around

I guess drivers are slowly making that card worse

[steep gust]

You can't optimize for just AMD tbh

and wouldn't make sense to

If anything, you can say Division has poor optimization if a 2080ti is losing

[coarse nimbus]

but that doesnt....that doesnt make amd look better? smh...do you not know how your own tech channel works 😩

Hello I recently bought BFV and I'm having a a problem. I can't talk to people in game but i can hear them. All my settings are perfect, I've checked multiple times. everything i do doesn't work.

Any ides what this might be?

[grizzled apex]

Are your bonds messed up or are you pressing the alt key and then pressing tab and then realizeing your pressed alt-tab xD

*binds

Also does anyone know wtf is up with inputs? My game suddenly in gunfights starts to not respond and it’s pissing me of

[rose forge]

I've had that same issue over here and no my keybinds are perfectly fine

[grizzled apex]

It might be my keyboard though. I’m probably gonna save to get a new one soon

I’ll probably get a cheap romer g or Cherry MX red switch keyboard

Still pretty expensive to find them though

[lofty light]

@rose forge you got PTT on?

[rose forge]

yes I normally do but even when I turn it off it still doesn't work

[lofty light]

Hmm

And obviously the mic works out of the game as it should from the sounds?

[rose forge]

yes it works on everything else whether it be discord or games

just not on Bfv

[lofty light]

That's odd as hell

[rose forge]

I've even went through all my setting and still nothing.

[flint locust]

Who needs a full size GPU

But it’s pretty damn rare

[magic mauve]

Hi. How can I create a server for bfv?

[latent sapphire]

[safe meteor]

Short answer, you can't. Extended answer, there's no Rental Server Program in BFV

[latent sapphire]

There's no rental server program at the moment but you can (hopefully) increase the chances of getting one by doing the survey in #game-news that asks how important you think it is to the game

[magic mauve]

@latent sapphire can I link to the survey?

[latent sapphire]

The survey is in #game-news

"Have some feedback for the game? Share it directly with the developers in the following survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BFVMarch"

[magic mauve]

and for the bf1 as it is possible to create a server?

[prime jasper]

does anyone else have these terrible lags

[past parrot]

Hello guys ! I bought BFV yesterday and I'm loving the game but I can't run it very well for some reason. It's not about specs since I run Battlefont 2 in Ultra easily without any FPS drop, is there any options to remove or something ?

So I put DX11 and lower frame rendering ?

[prime jasper]

in your nvidea settings in windows there is a specific profile you can run for BF V

[past parrot]

Oh yeah didn't think about that let me see

[supple bane]

so for ages i have been trying to work out why bfv was only using 3gb of my ram when some people say that it uses like 11gb..... ik realise that that was measuring vram. not ram

im big dumb dumb

[past parrot]

Welp

it says it's optimized, lot of setting in high too

but in the end I have fps drops

Let me try

without DX12

It's perfect ! Thanks guys !

High with around 80 fps, perfect

Yep disabled it too !

Wait, DX12 eats more right ?

Well time to try

[past parrot]

Well I tried

But for me its the contrary lol

I actually gain around 20 fps

[latent light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF3FsHRuvKM

[prime jasper]

you know to run BF V on my 2014 PC I have this start routine, reboot, spend 10 minutes slimming the task manager to 24 processes, turn off win explorer, make sure im the only person/device on that line .. then can get 60 fps .. I would be willing to pay a sub to get rid of all that crap and not shell out 500$ just for a semi decent gpu nevermind all the rest of it

[shut zephyr]

I cant play bf5 on my craptop

[latent light]

I imagine the bottleneck of a system from 2014 that wants to run BFV is the CPU

[shut zephyr]

I can already cook food on it if im playing mc

[prime jasper]

yeah it is

[shut zephyr]

Melted my mouse pad once

[prime jasper]

lol

[latent light]

BFV is very cpu demanding

[shut zephyr]

windows 7

2010 craptop

[prime jasper]

IKR, like BF1 is smooth as silk on it

[latent light]

BFV takes 6 cores to run smooth

iirc, BF1 runs fine on a 4c/4t i5-3570 from like 2012

[prime jasper]

I'll have to have a look if this mobo can run a 6 core

mobo is from 2017

the original one had a ram slot malfunction

[latent light]

what CPU is it

[prime jasper]

i5 3470 OC'd to 3.6 GHz

[latent light]

yeah, 4-core CPU without hyper-threading will have issues with consistent performance on BFV

[prime jasper]

yeah its right on the edge, really I could spend a lot on it

[latent light]

the only upgrade for your motherboard is an i7-3770 or a 3770K

[prime jasper]

make much difference?

[latent light]

yeah quite noticeable difference but it still won't be greatly smooth

[supple bane]

my cpu only has 4c 4t and i can get high settings 1080p and just about hit 60fps

more averaged around 55 fps

[oblique wigeon]

@prime jasper i had a i7 3770k before i upgraded bf5 ran smoothly with a huge oc 4.8 so i woudnt reconmend i upgraded to rtx 2070 and ryzen 2700x

[grizzled apex]

Too bad my I7 can barely handle this game

4790k is killing my pc

Would it be worth it to get a network extender so I can use Ethernet? I have an apple router and it’s hard to find one that’s easily programmable

[thorn zephyr]

It'll be better than wifi

[grizzled apex]

It’s just getting to the point where WiFi is going from bad to worse from battlefield 4

[grizzled apex]

Should I get a G413 mechanical keyboard for 60$?

[crude storm]

no, i would buy a cherry

[prime jasper]

ok I got an SSD and moved the installation to it, very big improvement in performance

[supple bane]

@crude storm you dont have to get a cherry, the other key brands are arguably better now

[grizzled apex]

@crude storm

[vagrant quartz]

@prime jasper what are your specs and how big was the performance improvement?

[slim nova]

can anyone help me? grand operation take like forever to load for me. until i can finally skip the text then it loads again forever and when i can finally deploy the battle is already running for some minutes. and this happens every single round.

Other modes all load superquick , usually i am one of the first to be in the game.

[haughty dome]

You should buy an SSD and move the game onto it

I think your hdd might be dying

Currently, there are some cheap ones being sold on AliExpress, goldenfir (white) is a good option, for example.

[slim nova]

its on a ssd

its just in this mode that i have trouble

[left citrus]

[rose forge]

Anybody else not able to go online with origin?

[prime jasper]

Its strange, I have a new GT 710, old card broke and it was all I could afford. Rest is pretty standard , performance ...moved my BF V to a SSD I just got, improved my performance from a shaky 1376 x 780 50% resolution 12 fps nightmare to 1920 x 1080 normality at 60 fps
like a different game

@vagrant quartz

oh and DX 12 makes it better .. go figure

old mobo and card had a slot break off, whole thing had to be junked

I guess it works because this is a latest build 710 and not the twice as big OEM one from 2013ish

techies may know why IDK

old card was a 1050 but its very much RIP

I’m guessing they mean more free games

But could have been worded just a little bit nicer

[molten bramble]

I mean, Apex is free, is it not?

[steep gust]

Yes but Apex has a lot of issues

like being a squad game

[safe tangle]

hey everyone, i get randoms freezes on firestorm (pc) any idea hwo to repair my game ?

[steep gust]

any overclocks?

[safe tangle]

no

i have read dx12 might be the problem

[latent sapphire]

Normally it's just the best idea to keep it off

[minor turret]

if fps >100 arguably better to have it on and future frame rendering off

seems to feel better for me

[steep gust]

future frame rendering should always be off

[minor turret]

in dx11 the performance impact is unacceptable

[latent sapphire]

Future frame rendering being off made the textures look straight out of a PS1 game

[steep gust]

It shouldn't

It literally has nothing to do with textures

Its just a garbage version of vsync

[minor turret]

it doesnt cap fps though

[steep gust]

yeah but its still rendering future frames

which is the issue with vsync

vsync does 3 frames IIRC

but its still not good

[latent sapphire]

Wait maybe I'm thinking of something else

Idk it all sounds like gibberish to me

So I just mess with it and see what works

[long sphinx]

look at this guy https://www.twitch.tv/dizzy

cpu: Intel Core i9-9900K @ 3.6GHz

[sonic osprey]

yes? you dont need that much cpu for apex

[long sphinx]

3.6 rlly? how much is a 9900k

550

more than 500 dollars for a cpu and run it at 3.6ghz

[steep gust]

what

That is the base clock

He just copy pasted his specs

[long sphinx]

thats way too low, my cpu is 2.6ghz stock and i run it at 4.2

[steep gust]

base and boost clocks are different things

Your CPU will never run at base clocks unless you force it

[sonic osprey]

yea but usually you say your specs like 9900k@5.1

instead of 9900k oc'd to 5.1

[steep gust]

yeah well that isn't a copy paste

He also has "32GB 4000mhz" as his RAM without timings

and his motherboard probably won't be doing 4x8GB at 4000mhz

[prime jasper]

@steep gust Why not?

also future frame rendering on bfv is really fucking optimized than 99% of games with that option

DO NOT do dx12

that garbage is ton of issue's

@steep gust You ever seen 6 sticks do 4400 cl17 for daily?

@safe tangle dx12 turn off please, bfv naturally has frame stutters, but you can reduce the chances, do a fps graph line using msi afterburner

monitor

[tender tapir]

I don’t know why but my game isn’t going online

[west siren]

You prolly don't have Xbox Gold or PS+ anymore

That happened to me

[tender tapir]

I’m on pc

[west siren]

Oh

You checked your internet

[tender tapir]

My internet is fine

Even other origin games work

[west siren]

You....restarted your internet and your pc

Oh

Hmmmm

I'm no professional so.....

Also I don't have PC

[tender tapir]

Ok

[lime pollen]

@tender tapir Your game isn't connecting online?

[west siren]

Other people are typing

[tender tapir]

Yes

@lime pollen

[lime pollen]

Mm

[west siren]

Let's goooooo

[lime pollen]

@west siren Can you not.

[west siren]

My bad

[tender tapir]

My internet is fine except BFV

[lime pollen]

@tender tapir try to see if your firewall is blocking connection

[west siren]

Yeah. Also, if you have Task Manager, check if it's blocking anything.

[lime pollen]

Or you could do a dns flush

[west siren]

That's not fun

[tender tapir]

What is that?

[lime pollen]

Just try the firewall settings first.

[west siren]

^

And Task Manager

If both are blocking something

[lime pollen]

Stop.

[west siren]

Wdym?

[lime pollen]

Task manager wouldn't have properties blocking a game connection

jesus

[west siren]

I mean, mine did.

So that's a lie

Different game but still

[lime pollen]

So what was the program in your task manager that prohibited game connection

[coarse nimbus]

your task manager probably wanted to commit sudoku honestly

[west siren]

It was Fortnite
And it was blocking some "Easy anti-cheat"

And also fortnite didn't run well anyways on there so I deleted it after
