Yeah that shouldn't be blocking the game connection

#

at all

#

EAC is needed online

#

for games that require it

#

it was probably bugged or something

my h7 is doing NICE

latent light
#

I could get a Deepcool Gammaxx GT

lime pollen
#

mmm

#

which variant?

grizzled apex
#

Should I get a second hand gtx 1660 ti for 240$?

pure adder
#

yo, someone been having problems even with a high end pc??

#

Do you have any fix or recomendacions that are not in the internet cause ive done everything and it still has poor fps and breaks

grizzled apex
#

Same. I have an i7 4790k. 16gb of DDR3 ram and a gtx 1060 3gb with an SSD and I still get maybe 100 FPS on low with 90% resolution

minor turret
#

its not the gpu but the cpu/ram depending on clockspeed and timings

grizzled apex
#

It’s at 4ghz and all cores running. ram is at stock 1600mhz

pure adder
#

i have a i7 6700 gtx1070 oc(8gbvraam) ddr4 16gbram and game on ssd

#

and still get 50 to 70

#

all on low

#

dont know why, i cant really play like that

minor turret
#

then that explains it

#

1600 mhz ram is not enough for modern games

#

and you are not getting full performance of cpu at 4 ghz

pure adder
#

@minor turret i have those specs and still suks

minor turret
#

you could play at 720p and still not get improvement in performance

grizzled apex
#

Honestly battlefields pc requirements are becoming stupidly demanding

#

The gtx 1060 3gb came out literally 2 years ago and it’s next to useless now

minor turret
#

No, not really. It requires more from CPU so a 2500k and other i5s at 4c4t is no longer enough

#

in this case its not your gpu holding you back

grizzled apex
#

But I mean it has 8 threads so I don’t see why it’s not pushing enough

#

Considering it’s getting more than adequate cooking

minor turret
#

CPU performance relies on dram speed

pure adder
#

bige ur big problem is the ram

minor turret
#

1600mhz was not enough for my 2600k years ago, saw a big 50 fps improvement in overwatch when i went from 1600 to 2133

grizzled apex
#

Maybe it’s the gpu. I’ll have to do some testing

#

Well it’s only so much with DDR3 ram

#

And I can’t upgrad because college budget 😛

minor turret
#

having a 4790k and not overclocking it is a waste

grizzled apex
#

Don’t want to kill it. It’s almost 4 years old now

minor turret
#

its a big overclocker and 4.5ghz should be doable on most rigs, if more enthusiastic 4.7-4.9 is doable

pure adder
#

100 is still good tho

wicked forum
#

I have a gtx 1060 and it works on ultra

grizzled apex
#

3gb?

pure adder
#

100 fps

wicked forum
#

You need quad core cpu

pure adder
#

dunno why ur complanig

wicked forum
#

Texture memory isn't the issue

pure adder
#

i have a more expensive and new build

#

and still dont get more than 70

#

everything on low

wicked forum
#

Finally games using mutli threads

grizzled apex
#

I have a 144hz monitor and I need more FPS because my monitor shows the really low frames

pure adder
#

yes i do to

minor turret
#

2133mhz ddr4 ram?

pure adder
#

yes

minor turret
#

thats why

pure adder
#

what do you mean

minor turret
#

2133mhz ram is absolute dogshit for games, especially if you run it on default timings

grizzled apex
#

You can overclokc your ram in your system bios at system startup I believe

minor turret
#

even worse if its a single stick

pure adder
#

i tried overclocking but its kida loked i dont know why

grizzled apex
#

I’ll probably put another 16gb of ram into my system

#

Its possibly the motherboard

wicked forum
#

16gb should be fine dual channel

midnight terrace
#

bois, did BF5 has its nvidia highlight removed yesterday?

grizzled apex
#

Is it one of those budget motherboard?

#

I was asking the same thing

#

Had some good kills and it didn’t highlight any of it

midnight terrace
#

sigh, ikr

grizzled apex
#

Literally went on a 15 streak in the light German tank and got a sick plane kill with it and didn’t record ANY OF IT

#

Also I found out that battlefield 5 uses 2.4 gB of Vram on low with gpu memory restriction. Which means, that it can’t be the i7 or the ram. It has to be the gpu

#

This video is basically my setup and the same FPS.

#

You go to a video like this

#

And it’s basically a HUGE improvement

minor turret
#

Theres a very easy way to test this, put resolution scale to 50%

#

you will not see a big improvement in fps even if gpu load is a lot less

The problem with console is the hardware limitations. They are trying to run next to ancient hardware on modern AAA items. Note: their hardware is no where near the specs of the pc requirements (and doesn’t even play in 1080p, very close to but not)

latent light
#

the CPU holds back the Graphics processor on both the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X

grizzled apex
#

I really only use the Xbox for black ops 2 zombies and that’s it

#

Isn’t it a tri-core cpu?

#

Or something stupid

latent light
#

8-core jaguar cpu

grizzled apex
#

But the clock speed is slow af

latent light
#

runs at 2.3 GHz on the One X and 2.1 GHz on the PS4 Pro

grizzled apex
#

Imagine the original Xbox one?

#

I have that still

#

Got it on launch day

latent light
#

1.8 GHz

grizzled apex
#

And boy that thing had problems

latent light
#

PS4 is at 1.75 GHz

grizzled apex
#

Power brick gave about 8 times and the 9th actually left a burn mark in our wall

#

After it made a mini power surge cause it to simultaneously combust

latent light
#

launch Xbox One power consumption was like 30 watts lower than the launch PS4

#

because the weaker GPU

grizzled apex
#

But it still sucked

latent light
#

biggest issue with PS4 is the blower fan that gets loud

grizzled apex
#

Same for the Xbox one if your not careful

latent light
#

Xbox one had a proper 100mm fan with a pretty big heatsink lol

#

only thing that was audible on my xbox one was the harddrive and the blu-ray drive

#

PS4 Pro gets really loud, louder than my GPU fans at 100%

#

Xbox One X cooling was a very good implementation, copper heatsink with a 6mm thick vapor chamber with direct contact to the processor

#

looks like a blower fan from a reference Radeon GPU

grizzled apex
#

Ew, a blower fan

minor turret
#

gotta rip out that blower fan and install noctua d15

grizzled apex
#

Just abuse thermal paste REE

you would need to custom make a mounting kit for that to work lol

is there currently a bug in bf4 where the server shows 60+/64 but when you join there are just 15 people or so on it playing? Restarting bf didnt fix that for me

prime jasper
#

its not a bug

#

without getting too technical, some server owners use seeders to get games going, its a delicate situation, Server renters front a lot of cash to keep them going, however at the same time players such as yourself feel mislead.

#

At the end of the day if the server renters see no traffic on their servers and pull the plug, thats another BF 4 server lost forever, in other words its a balance that is maintained that keeps the game live

how do i swap dog tags? i cant press on the equip button ingame 🤔

grizzled apex
#

You could try the G430 headset. It’s a 40$, gets the job done, headset that is comfortable and very sturdy. It is a pc headset but there is an adapter you can get to connect it up to the 2.5mm on the controller

#

I’ve had mine for a few years and it is really comfortable

#

Anyone have trouble streaming bfv firestorm?

lofty light
#

What's the issue?

prime jasper
#

constant frame drops in game and stuttering on stream

#

I have an 8700k at 4.9ghz and a 2070, I play on lowest settings streaming at 720 60

lofty light
#

Oof

prime jasper
#

cpu is at 100% load constantly

lofty light
#

Yeah that'd normally be enough, is the game itself stuttering for you or just streams?

prime jasper
#

both

#

especially end game, the flames I think just destroy my cpu

lofty light
#

Well frostbite is definitely a CPU intensive engine, but that CPU should be more than enough

prime jasper
#

exactly :/

#

I could overclock a bit more, but I shouldn't have to :/

lofty light
#

What's your CPU temps?

prime jasper
#

I top out at like 75

lofty light
#

I'm wondering if it's an unstable clock, although you'd have to be really unlucky with the silicon lottery

prime jasper
#

Oh it's stable

#

it's been like this for 4 months

#

1000%

lofty light
#

Hmm, well if you do a test run is it the game using all the CPU?

#

The other thing you could try is turning UP the graphics settings as a test

prime jasper
#

I'm trying it out now not streaming

#

I can't even keep 144fps

#

so I can not streaming

lofty light
#

Hmm

prime jasper
#

But when I'm streaming it I get about 80-100fps

#

so I'm loosing a lot of frames

#

and then I get into a gunfight, My cpu overloads, frames dropto 0, then I'm dead

#

I even run my other 2 monitors on a 1050ti to take some load off my 2070

lofty light
#

Do a check if it's just the game using your CPU

#

Guys I'm clueless why this happens, but for some reason once I start looking for a firestorm match, my bluetooth headphones stop working for the entirety of the match. Any ideas why? I have disabled the headset in device maganer, so that's not the problem.

grizzled apex
#

@prime jasper are you using DX11 or DX12?

slim sandal
#

No one?

#

Yeah I thought so

peak spear
#

uninstalkl the headset in the device manager, start firestorm and then plug it in and let the install process happen, if it happens.

prime jasper
#

dx11, it's more stable than dx12

#

yeah I'm playing now, and my cpu goes from 50% to 95% without stream on high settings

@prime jasper You ever seen 4 sticks in a meh motherboard on dual channel do 4000mhz for an esports user? LUL

#

Asus' cheaper boards have meh at best memory overclocking

The 3175X is a beefy CPU, and the Dominus Extreme can do some pretty extreme stuff for a 12 dimm board

It could still be better with 6 slots OMEGALUL

@steep gust I'm filling all 12 and putting bfv and all its dlc's on my fucking ram

rip speeds

#

and rip install every time you shut your system off

prime jasper
#

doesn't ram only effect small performance if amount of required is fulfilled?

grizzled apex
#

it uses a pretty decent amount of RAM (8GB total) so i think if everything else is met, it should be fine

btw, should i get a secondhand gtx 1060 6gb from gigabyte (windforce OC)?

guys, RX580 > GTX 1060 for Battlefield?

steep gust
#

RX580 is generally better

#

and can overclock more

storm bolt
#

I got a 1060 3GB, i7-7700K, 16GB DDR4 ram. FPS wise it runs fine but i get some tiney stutters a couple times per minute.
Could someone help me out with trouble shooting?

prime jasper
#

do you have gpu memory restriction on?

storm bolt
#

nope

#

i do have DX12 on (if that is supposed to give better performance for mid/low tier builds)

steep gust
#

DX11 or DX12?

#

Uh drop setings

#

Probably running out of VRAM

storm bolt
#

thought so yes

prime jasper
#

Why is everything upside down

steep gust
#

Texture quality should be low as possible to test

storm bolt
#

I am thinking of an upgrade for my GPU.
I am thinking of a 2060 6GB or a 1070 8GB.
Any suggestions?

steep gust
#

2070

#

or a 2060

prime jasper
#

@prime jasper its to help our Australian friends out since they get tired to being upside down all the time

storm bolt
#

Isn't more VRAM better compared to the performance of the graphics card?

prime jasper
#

both have at least double what you have now so its a win win

storm bolt
#

thx for advice sir.
Have a great day 😉

steep gust
#

more =/= better

#

You have cards that have too much VRAM

#

and can never drive the settings that take advantage of said VRAM

prime jasper
#

sounds like a poke at the Radeon 7 lol

steep gust

Sure is

and the RX480

and even the RX580 would be better with 6GB

using nvidia since 2003, so between rx580 and 1060 6gb it will be the first time that I'll buy an AMD 😄

RX 580 will get around GTX 1660 performance while RX 590 will be between the 1660 and 1070

In BFV

floral sorrel

ty @latent light , only bfv matters to me.

prime jasper

I have the rtx 2060 and 2 780's, they run bfv great

steep gust

Don't buy a 1060 6gb

#

and wait for Navi if you want an AMD card

prime jasper
#

Get the 1660ti instead

#

If u want nvidia

latent light
steep gust
#

Reminder that those aren't the most accurate

#

due to plenty of variables in run to run

latent light
#

RX 580 provides best value as of right now if you play Battlefield V

prime jasper
#

They use a i9 9900k tho

latent light
#

But I would wait a few months for Navi if you can

steep gust
#

and BFV doesn't have a benchmark feature

prime jasper
#

Not everyone has such cpu

#

Some cpu's might bottleneck navi alot

steep gust
#

Yeah, and the people buying Navi won't have a 9900k

latent light
#

Navi isn't going to be high-end

#

Up to GTX 1080 performance from what we hear a lot

prime jasper
#

They are going to be powerful tho

#

@steep gust it automatically installs and takes less than 1 min for transfer to happen at boot up.

latent light
#

Although they could just overclock one and feed it a lot of voltage to try to get it to 2080Ti level

steep gust
#

Not really

#

Voltage scaling is not common

prime jasper
#

Voltage scaling can be shit on cards, aka gtx 970

steep gust
#

Maxwell didn't scale with voltage

#

Period

prime jasper
#

Hardmods and at -190c, I could only get 1% more performance than air cooling

#

It was pathetic

steep gust
#

cold scaling should still exist woahthink

prime jasper
#

It did

#

For 0.8%

latent light
#

My GTX 770 only allows for +12 mV

#

That's the cap

steep gust
#

modded BIOS there

prime jasper
#

@steep gust I mean all channels filled now equals the sticks are dual rank so my 3733mhz cl16 is really gonna be 4133 cl15 meguSmug

#

In speed benchmark wise

#

I'm guessing

steep gust
#

I feel like that isn't how that works

#

Filling all the slots harms latency

prime jasper
#

Still having major issues streaming bfv

#

@steep gust the motherboard treats it like dual rank since channel a and b are filled

#

There side by side to each other

#

Technically, in theory, my lantency ram mhz vs mhz should be almost identical

#

That would be a lot of latency

#

Latency is measured in ms, freq in hz?

#

Ns

steep gust
#

Latency is ns

#

Freq is mhz

prime jasper
#

Yeah ms, ns

steep gust
#

Having another stick instead of more memory modules (dual rank) just means you get more timings involved

#

Since its still two separate sticks instead of one

prime jasper
#

Saying 3733mhz dual rank vs 3733mhz single, dual rank would beat it hard but lantecy should stay the same

steep gust
#

Dual rank wins due to slightly increased bandwidth

prime jasper
steep gust
#

but two sticks =/= dual rank

#

even if its two sticks per channel

prime jasper
#

Why wouldnt it not treat it like dual rank?

steep gust
#

There is little difference between a dual rank UDIMM and two single-rank UDIMMs in the same memory channel, other than that the DRAMs reside on different PCBs. The electrical connections between the memory controller and the DRAMs are almost identical (with the possible exception of which chip selects go to which ranks). Increasing the number of ranks per DIMM is mainly intended to increase the memory density per channel. Too many ranks in the channel can cause excessive loading and decrease the speed of the channel. Also some memory controllers have a maximum supported number of ranks. DRAM load on the CA (Command/Address) bus can be reduced by using registered memory. huh I guess I was overthinking it 🤷

this new linus video that popped up..theyre making a custom water cooling "block" for their 10 gigabit switch, and apparently had to upsize the pcb holes just barely to make their screws work lul

prime jasper
#

@steep gust obviously it's going to be worse, it's the fucking dreaded dual rank, but still has a gnarly scaling curve

steep gust

how much was the trying to change the hole?

idk but it doesn't take much

by the looks of how easily the drill went through the existing hole I imagine the upsize was like 1/64 lol

It limits your FPS to your monitor refresh rate

#

and depending on the game, it can also render future frames

#

Which be bad

latent sapphire
#

Oh okay

#

I turned off future frame rendering and vertical sync, maybe that'll help with my performance

steep gust

It shouldn't do much to performance

But it will feel better

i'm having trouble with battlefield vietnam, i got the cd from a friend who didn't want it anymore with all 4 of the discs (4th being the wwii mod, aka bonus disc). i have it downloaded but every time i click on the game, it tells me to run it so i run it as an admin. then i get a black screen, my desktop goes FULL FULL screen and magnifies a ton, then returns to normal and game doesn't start. also the install shield wizard is running in the background for some reason. I tried +restart 1 on the shortcut I made for it (I made 2, one is the game itself and the other one is the same thing but copied again.) still doesn't work. any help? i know that there will probably be barely any people with bf vietnam. I also made the compatibility Windows XP (SP3) and I have footage of the command prompt stuff I did with it. i also downloaded a bat file for it too, and the latest patches. NO it is not Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam DLC. It is the actual Battlefield Vietnam.

NVidia does that for a reason

prime jasper

Lol same, im so mad that nvidia took out that channel

#

@latent light I have the GOC software, I can push 2v to my gpu if I wanted to

#

and mem volts aswell

#

wich kingpin cards cant do

#

So tech I can demolish kingpin cards sli vs sli

#

from raw memory

latent light
prime jasper
#

Meaning in msi afterburner im pulling 9000mhz memory with voltage scaling when kingpin cards are stuck at 8300

#

in sli, im over 1ghz more in memory

#

that's 8fps no matter what

#

Higher res would double that

#

8k that 8fps turns into 16fps

#

Since 2080ti's are memory starved

#

It would take 2500mhz kingpin cards now to beat me at my daily clocks

#

or 2330mhz rtx titans to beat me

#

HOF labs are disgusting

#

fast

#

That's only at high res

#

below 4k, my system is honestly very vulnerable

latent light
prime jasper
#

legit i3's could beat me

#

but at 4k+ would take an absolute monster clocked 9900k to get near

latent light
#

let's say you have an i3-8350K at 5 GHz that's getting nasty 1% lows in BFV in 1080p but you own a 2080 Ti (weird scenario)

#

would 4K resolution help those 1% lows and give better consistency?

prime jasper
#

Mmmm not on bfv

#

anything 6 core and down, it's going to be very none consistent

latent light
#

6-cores without multithreading gets some stutter

prime jasper
#

with smt, it's perfect

latent light
#

but 6 cores and 12 threads should stay stable

#

streaming BFV basically requires 8 cores and 16 threads

prime jasper
#

Exactly

Which sucks but im all for dev's using more cores

it does help

I still hit 100%

Buy a better cpu

Off load streaming to gpu

Or buy a streaming rig

prime jasper

I'll just use my 1050ti for nvenc then I guess

steep gust
#

BFV loves threads and will gladly max out 8 or so

storm osprey

a 2700x would be a better streamer

But most people dont want to get a second machine or downgrade gaming performance

Yep

supple bane
#

@prime jasper @storm osprey if you reduce settings, im pretty sure it will put the load on your cpu, raising them will put the load on the gpu

wait no

steep gust

higher fps = more cpu load

grizzled apex
#

Hang on. You have an 8700k and an Gtx 1050 ti?

He has a second 1050ti in his system

grizzled apex

That’s probably why, the 1050 ti is suck a bottleneck

steep gust

to use for encoding

grizzled apex
#

Oh

steep gust
#

You can have multi GPUs fine

grizzled apex
#

You pant put a 1050 ti in sli though

steep gust
#

You don't need SLI for multi GPU

sli only makes the gpus handle the same load at once i think

He is using the GPU to encode, which has nothing to do with his GPU doing the rendering

@prime jasper is there a reason your going with the z390?

latent light

8400 is clocked too low for BFV tbh, I see that it gets some stutter

prime jasper

Not really i seen it bundled with the 8400 for £312 which i didnt think was a bad deal

It has 3.8 GHz boost

prime jasper

312e for a 8400

#

Yikes

latent light
#

Bundle

steep gust
#

even then

#

Not very good

prime jasper
#

Its bundled with the motherboard

#

Literally ryzen tears a 8400 apart

steep gust
#

You can do Rzyen for $300

prime jasper
#

Hell. A 1600 would best it

steep gust
#

2600 is $160

prime jasper
#

Jesus

steep gust
#

Probably find them cheaper at like Microcenter

prime jasper
#

That's a no brainer atm, 2600 all the way

#

I dont use AMD

latent light
#

Yeah 2600 with a decent B450 motherboard is best bang for buck

steep gust
#

Then get fucked with price vs performance

prime jasper
#

Then you must sufur the fps loss meguSmug

#

Intel and Nvidia for me

#

Then dont get a 8400

#

It's a really bad choice

latent light
#

8400 will get similar average fps to a Ryzen 5 2600 but it will get more frametime spikes in some games

steep gust
#

Intel and Nvidia for budget hardware

#

my sides

prime jasper
#

His CPU will get capped out and suffer fps time loss

#

And jaring

steep gust
#

If you are looking for deals (ie motherboard combos) you can't afford Intel

prime jasper
#

I have a 1080 in my PC but i need something that isnt bottle necking to keep up with my GPU

steep gust
#

Then buy a 2600(x)?

prime jasper
#

Your asking us. We are telling you

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 2600 won't even bottleneck an RTX 2080

steep gust
#

a bottleneck will always exist

prime jasper
#

At high hz it will

steep gust
#

It will be your CPU, GPU, or refresh rate

#

2600x for $180

#

Literal no brainer move

prime jasper
#

I will have a look

latent light
#

2600X comes with a better stock cooler

steep gust
#

Don't need a cooler, overclocks itself, motherboards are decent

latent light
#

And 4.2 GHz boost

#

My problem with the 8400 is that it doesn't boost that high

steep gust
#

and is locked

prime jasper
#

Its single core is ass

#

My first gen TR runs it over badly

#

Which is bad

steep gust
#

AMD shows you can have easy product stack separation and still have everything unlocked

#

My 8600k runs over TR single core

prime jasper
#

jesus an 8600k still costs more than a 2700x

steep gust
#

yeah I bought my 8600k before Rzyen

#

well Zen+

#

Wouldn't recommend buying one now

storm osprey
#

at stock, ryzen 2600 and 8400 will be close, with 8400 generally having better overall fps but once you OC the 2600 its as good or better, for a cheaper price

#

i would personally get 2600

steep gust
#

I would pay the extra $15-20 for a 2600x

latent light
#

Or wait 2 months for 3rd gen Ryzen to launch lol

well, doesnt the 2600x also come with a better cooler?

#

so for just a few bucks more might as well

latent light
#

Yes

minor turret
#

and in singleplayer 2600 might suffice

steep gust
#

2600x also is a better bin

storm osprey
#

20 dollars more for me for a 2600x

steep gust
#

@storm osprey Multiple game averages suck ass for comparisons

storm osprey
#

so i hear

steep gust
#

Stuff like Shadow of the Tomb Raider brings everything to its knees

#

even at 1080p

storm osprey
#

well, if it brings EVERYTHING to its knees then its at least a fair playing field

steep gust
#

For 1080p 144hz a 2600x is more than enough

#

and if you are looking at budget ends, 1440p 144hz and 1080p 240hz are not possible anyways

minor turret
#

When 2600 4.2/4.25 ghz gets dips way below 144hz then it isnt viable unless you accept those dips and use freesync/gsync

grizzled apex
#

I’d still be surprised if people still own 60hz monitors and play this game xD

storm osprey
#

i know a lot of people with 60 and 75hz monitors

steep gust

uh a locked 8400 is going to dip a lot harder than a 2600(x)

storm osprey
#

i convince most to upgrade

latent light
#

I've got 60hz, always top 5 in the leaderboard every match

steep gust

and I play on a 144hz monitor without any frame sync

Maybe 12nm GloFo? I can't remember but it wasn't 7nm

#

I doubt AMD would use two manufacturers

#

there are rumors that AMD could ditch Global Foundries entirely

steep gust

but I don't doubt it

#

Samsung should make GPUs

#

I'm sure if you offer enough money they would manufacture them

latent light
#

imagine if Samsung made GPUs and didn't even use their own memory chips on all of them

I wish Intel bought Radeon from AMD for a few billion so Intel could dethrone Nvidia and AMD would use that money from Intel on CPU research/development

#

Intel could bring some good competition

#

but its gonna be expensive af

Furmark is free tho

#

3DMark was paid at least when I got it

#

Furmark is good only too hammer your GPU to see if it breaks, like Prime95 for CPU

When I was looking around for how much a 6900K would cost (as it's the most reasonable upgrade I can go without replacing the mobo) there was heaps of "gaming" machines on eBay with a 6900K and a 1050 Yikes
