The next Keyboard I'm buying is this or equivalent https://www.amazon.de/Corsair-CH-9000221-Performance-Multi-Colour-Beleuchtung/dp/B015C9Y6HQ/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=K95+mechanical&qid=1555008779&s=gateway&sr=8-8
Hmm. I'm looking
Because that'll probably be the last keyboard Ill ever have to buy.
you must really like the programmable keys lol
It looks sick, I might buy it myself.
lmao
Oh yeah sure do
However I think you can just buy a seperate wired console with a few keys on it
I mean yeah thats a pricey boy
dont know if it has to be integrated
Stuff like that
but most Mech Corsair keyboards are in that price range anyways, it's not priced per key
why do they look so small
they dont have num pads
That, picture... lol
I moved the stereo, overhauled my PC in a new case with stronger GPU and a new PSU, got a G502
Noice.
Over the years
idk maybe
...
I love them so I every time someone didnt know what to gift to me they gave me something sloth related. So it became a running gag that I'm super into sloths, and I mean I'm really cool with that cuz that's such a nice thing to be
Yeah but just google "Sloth Baby"
They are really really cute
-_-
lol
If you sodomize a sloth I swear to god
lmao, NO!
I will invade you
More like invade you like Harvey fucking Weinstein
Thanks :3
So do I but I need to keep it clean
Empty bottles and kitchenware all around
cable management is HORRIBLE
and my desk lamp... well, lab lamp, just gave up so it's in the workshop
Those sloths are looking, hot.........
Hey I know it's not quite uniform, all 3 monitors are different solutions, different sizes, different color palletes, two of them have a few dead pixels the lab lamp is yellowed,
...
BUT
That's the reason I got them for FREE
so I wont complain
Oh.
My fathers company bought a new batch of monitors to replace "Defective" and old ones
Nice.
They were just gonna throw them away so I was like... "Ill pay the disposal fee for u give me those two"
They don't look bad.
and the third, my sister went to university and her desk was too small for her second monitor so she left it here and I can use it
And the lab lamp was also from my dads company, it's in a bad state though. It flickers a lot, and the foot is broken, so I made one myself from wood
Welll yeah I got the Three Monitors, the Lab Lamp, the logitech Attack 3, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for free, I pulled my "DVD Deck" out of the trash (It still has a VHS slot lol) and linked it up to the Stereo system I got for my 12th bday
Damn, you just go dumpster diving, lmao
Nothing wrong with that though.
Always great finds.
Well I dont go around looking for trash but if I see someone throw something cool out Ill just ask
Yeah, nice. I can't do that, I have to sadly work for it all!
I still paid a few thousand for everything here
oof, I have to buy a rtx 2080ti, 4k is running like cancer.
Also the "Lamp Foot" is literally just a drilled block of wood attached to the desk with some clamps
I wish they would drop the prices, I've just spent a leg.
When did you get it?
Last 2 weeks.
Ah thats fine then
Well I bought my 1080 early last year
ya know bitcoin explosion
yeah.
about 760€
Oh, damn.
I mean a 1660 ti can run rust at 60 FPS 4K and that game is way more system demanding
I think its about 200 less now if not more
so, your saying a 1660 ti is better?
I linked my up to my dads TV and played FC5 and Hellblade in 4k... like that is really fucking awesome but those TVs are also like 3000€
cya
Downloading ARK rn, never played it on a good GPU.
Maybe they did some other perfomance toubleshooting as well
Gonna be honest don’t know what you guys are talking about
it ran on below minimum settings set trough ini on a GTX760 1,5GB, shouldnt the 1080 8GB do fine
ark is such a good concept behind a shit coded game
Driver version 425.31 has been released. DXR Ray Tracing for GTX cards is here (Pascal 1060 6GB and above as well as Turing 16 Series). 
So I was watching some documentary’s on the black hole shit that’s going on and I think it’s crazy that there was so much data from the telescopes around the world that together caught it, that the hdds has to be flown on cargo planes, there is like 10 or something telescopes and each one had a plane full of hdds

5 petabytes
or something
like that
Once you get into the multiples of terabytes, moving the HDDs is faster and cheaper
isn’t a petabyte 1000 tb?
also it’s crazy how much data storage has changed, back then you would be lucky to have a kb of storage
petabyte is 1024TB
They had to shift through like 6000GB of data to get that 'picture'
People think they just pointed a telescope at a black hole 
guys
my connection goes off, I click the troubleshoot thing and it gives me this diagnosis and the net comes back, but it goes off again after like 2 minutes
im using a desktop pc with a wifi adapter
anyone know what this could be?
reboot the router yet?
Anyone know how to fix this glitch with the game? My game is black, but the hud elements/menus are perfectly fine

Hey, I have an issue with the game, it crashes pretty often
and it also maxes my cpu, lol
@fallen harbor play wired...
ETHERNET
he's trying to tell you to play wired if possible lol
xd
Any ideas on the crashing issue?
@quick locust what cpu?
8700K
Nope it happens after a few mins of playing
turn off all your overclocks on cpu, gpu, and keep RAM at xmp
No XMP support so I dont use that anyway
your mobo doesnt support xmp? uh...
何?しうdすか
he's trying to tell you to play wired if possible lol
no shit?
if i use wifi it means i cant use wire
im not dumb```
lol
fuckin weeb
oof
Alright now no OCs
i shall commit sudoku
will see now

@fallen harbor some people just dont know or think wireless is fine
i dont know that you literally cant use wired
WiFi sucks in 2019
i mean, i dont see a scenario where you cant used wired at all, unless it was separate living where wired would have to go through the outdoors, but even then, you could do it. so really wired just comes down to convenience vs effort
being an otaku shut-in
@exotic plover what, do you guys have special routers?
lol
but the wire is called ethernet?
I think our Japanese friend is flexing by saying that his wifi is so good it doesnt matter
what
yes, it is
im saying.its connected to thewifi thingy thingy
WiFi is fine for gaming
unless your router is garbage or your network itself is garbage
your ethernet is connected to your router, which also sends out the wifi signal
yes
wifi signal is not ethernet

bet
wifi means to connect to something wirelessly
this is your brain on anime
Keep it on topic
youre internet service providers are good, is what i think you are saying
sure?
🤦
It's still stuttering and micro freezing
That isn't a network problem
bru
I have
git a better pc ez soloution
Dropped settings?
stutters?
its not screen tearing or your monitor refresh rate being low?
Nope
no
whats ur settings?
watching percentages and thermals and everything is fine?
high preset
anyone got solutions to my problem from earlier?
https://imgur.com/3WmYmoC
stuttering is not crashing
@tame zephyr it just fixed for me after a round of firestorm
is kust dark right?
like you can still click on stuff
Yeah. I can see it fine in windowed mode, but borderless and fullscreen it's just black
oh
@tame zephyr something like that isnt anything we can really help with outside of telling you to verify files, reinstall, or contact support
understandable
did fyou fix?
like from the origib launcher
by right clicking bf5
and pressing fix
there might be a fix that would require going through the files and changing lines of text or some shit, but i doubt anyone here has that knowledge
jusT @ all the dice mods
yes

lol

Will dynamic resolution ever be added?
probably not
Any tips to solve the ghosting, stuttering and crashing? I changed drivers so now I got the nvidia driver that released today
No
are you positive? bfv is a pretty dynamic game from light to dark, and would be more noticeable for ghosting if its youre monitor doing it
I've noticed ghosting in KCD but not stutter
i would expect ghosting to be through your monitor
if you have a setting that turns up the response that, that will increase the ghosting
my monitor does that
welp, could just be the monitor itself, im just saying mine ghosts under certain settings
what connection are you using?
ghosting and rubber banding are different
rubber banding hasnt been mentioned...
Anybody's game run better in a non admin mode?
Fuck amazon. I had to cancel my order because they wouldn’t let me use my gift card to buy my 1660 ti and now I’m getting it the 22nd

Anyone have any tips for being able to listen to both console and pc audio through one set of headphones? I have a mixer, a Behringer UMC22. Will this work with what I'm trying to do? Thanks.
I see Nvidea has dropped an update, I suggest installing it, however I have noticed lately that DX 12 on or off can make a spectacular difference for fixing stutter and rubberbanding. However there is no correct setting, try it on and off and see what your system does the best with. And as always manage your task manager and other applications stealing CPU time for things like updates, Windows 10 has a default setting to use 45% of system resources for self maintenance, that setting can be changed.
@plain vessel Thanks a lot.
My game just randomly started black screen on start up. I cant play now 😦 anyone know a fix?
restart game, if that doesnt work click on bf5 on the orign launcher (right click) and than press fix
if that doesnt work idk srry

Hey, Does anybody have any idea on why I no longer have an RTX Option i the game even though i have and RTX 2060.
I also have the option for DLSS but not RTX and no option for Direct X 12 either
I think it was the update because it was working fine before
they allow gtx users to use ray tracing
or something
so that update
might of messedit up
Im trying DDU now and then going to reinstall the driver to see if it will fix things
k
No didnt change anything, gonna have to wait for the next driver and game update
you cannot
you can however use the server browser to filter by region fi you aren't playing firestorm
for all other non firestorm game modes you can with advanced search

1060 doing rtx in bfv at 35fps?

Doubt is high
I could see that with rtx low along with low settings lol
explain said problems
1080p?
is your 8gb ram two sticks or one?
maybe ram problems
cpu is good, gpu is ok
what programs are u using (beside bf1 and discord)
also check your temperatures make sure you aren't thermal throttling
is it only BF1?

if he had the money to buy this , he would have the problems he has
lol it wasnt a suggestion to buy anything, just posting news
try to disable dx 12
ill screen record how to do it and send it to you
ahh ffs
i have to download a gpu driver
10 mins
2 pc restarts later it is finally installing
this driver just didnt like me for some reason
ok i cant screen record for some reason
anyway, go to documents, then go to bf 1
go to settings, then open PROFSAVE_profile
do the open with feature and open it with notepad
GstRender.Dx12Enabled
look for that line
and then there will be a 1 at the end, change the 1 to a 0, save the file, and open up bf1. this might fix it
@vital otter
let me know if it works
Origin is saying i'm offline I have restarted my computer.
It keeps logging me out.
Real-time outages and problems for Origin. Is online gaming down or not working properly? Here you see what is going on.
no idea
My friend is getting an new pc and can I have some suggestions for the parts, his budget is no higher than $2,500
lol that sort of budget means he wont really have to skimp on anything
i7 7 or 8th gen and a 2060 or 2070
Is 2,500 alot for PC parts
2.5k is a lot for pc parts
you can build a solid gaming pc for like 700 bucks
of course it maters if that includes thing like a monitor, periperals, etc
2500 usd can get you 9700k, 2080ti no?
yes
9700k, 2080ti, b-die ram, AIO or custom loop depending on enthusiasm, fuck knows which mobo to get for 9th gen cpu
z390 lol
im sure there are z370 boards that can do the trick
but you dont pick just any board for 9700k that you need to OC
and z390 is no automatic stamp of quality
Z370 requires a BIOS update generally
Gigabyte has the best Z390 boards
and a 2080ti doesn't leave you much room
$2500 for just the PC is easy, add a monitor and its impossible
been talking to them in dm
they have a monitor already
and dont plan on buying till end of the year
already said it doesnt make sense to do a part list
9700k is shit price to performance
pay the extra $80-100 for a 9900k
Hell I saw 9900k going for $480 recently
doesnt the 9700k actually get more fps than the 9900k though
Barely
You can disable HT on a 9900k
and get the same thing
but if he ever plans to stream, etc then a 9900k is ideal

my friend who doesn’t know shit about pc’s wants help finding one, he can’t build one as like I said he doesn’t know anything about them and I don’t want to build one for him as I wouldn’t trust my self with his money. So I’m stuck with pre-builts and I found one with an i5 8400 and a 1060 3gb got like 750 pound
what do you think
id personally rather save 100 bucks to get the same fps...
Ik the 3gb is a bit of a scam but I fail to find a pc that has a 6gb and doesn’t have other high end parts
bfv ran better on the 9700k
But it won't be that way in 2 years
@supple bane build him a pc or show him how to do it
yea, the price right off the bat doesnt look like a good deal at all
idk prices there but still
3GB VRAM is bad
Ik it isn’t
its really not bad other than some cutting edge games
for now
my 2nd build has a 3gb in it, and so far the only game it struggles on is rise of the tomb raider
Y'all need to think about 1-2 years
i really dont think high end games are gonna be the norm in spec requirements for a majority of games in 2 years...
ye people need to realise that as games get more intensive , optimisation and drivers get better
You do realize drivers can't make 3GB of VRAM 5GB?
That’s not what I said is it?
im not saying dont spend the 30 bucks to get 6gb, but its not as dire as you make it out
and Pascal is pass the age of driver optimization
I have the 3gb and the only game it can’t run is ark
good thing theres different aspects of optimization
You still can't fit 4-5GB of textures into 3GB of VRAM
oh yea, forgot to mention, rise of the tomb raider only sucked when i tried to run it on ultra settings on 3gb
so you turn down textures
or they optimize textures
and how do you that?
or you dont play that specific game
Compressed textures look like ass
Another thing, this will be his first pc, he doesn’t want a fucking super computer that can run all games on 4K ultra settings
The first thing a lot of people do when modding games like Skyrim is downloading high-res uncompressed textures 
Still for $750 you can do leagues better
dont think a first time pc owner is gonna be thinking of modding skyrim with high res textures
yeah even better
1k usd gets you way more than an 8400 and a 1060
That is the going price on ebay here
really fucking good
and you are buying a cut down 1060 with less vram
It shouldn't have been more than $150-200 to begin with
ok I give up your not even helping
Ohh
that would stomp the 1060 3gb and 8400
das nice
Show him how to build a PC with YT
yes but I have been there, it’s not bag simple
If you are going to be spending $1000 on something, you should understand the basics of how it works for troubeshooting
That makes sense
Most people don't realize that building a PC is like
what pcpartpicker do you use @supple bane ?
it isn’t a thing over here nyphon
at least I don’t think it is
I’ve never seen it used here at least, I may be wrong tho
What country
and is there a country nearby with similar prices or you can order from (ie Germany, etc)
4GB vram should be the minimum
glad Nvidia hasn't launched a GTX 1660 with 3GB
yet
oof just got screen tearing for the first time in modded skyrim
then enabled borderless and its gone 
anyone know why i cant enable the osd in geforce experience
?
just says that didnt work
eh vat ain't that simple
but a decent rule of thumb when comparing u.s vs euro prices
there will probably be smart and have a 4gb version but in the end also have a higher clock speed or cuda core count because of the extra space
probably not
They will end up with less cuda cores since they are lasering off part of the gpu
Just like the 1060 3gb

Anyone elses game lock up every couple minutes or less for half a second then go back to normal. Sometimes actually locking up and crashing? Since the last patch. I'm getting really tired of trying everything I can think of. AheadLimit stuff. Vsync stuff. Memory Restric.. ok basically every combination of bullshit in the options menu. Dont even come at me with that Origin stuff or admin stuff. Everything has been tried. Reinstalled still nothing. As usual, only BFV. Literally out of options.
go back a driver
Windows 7 x64. DX11! Not Windows 10. Not DX12. So rule out all of that as well. Its not hardware either. Yes all my drivers are updated lol... yes my bios settings were both default stock and even with overclocking, no difference found. I'm losing my mind right now its unplayable.
Ive tried 3 different driver versions
clean installs
considering my hardware and drivers have not changed only the game has been updated.. what gives
also doesnt matter if the game is set to low, medium, high or whatever. zero difference.
update to win10 
🍆
Well you've only got 3/4 of a year left before there's no more security updates so...
i run a lot of really old games as well
windows 10 for me is not going to be feasible
plus ive seen many win10 people with similiar problems or other different problems entirely
but no solutions
I’ve had windows 10 for a while. It just feels a lot more modern and user friendly. I mean there’s a lot of benefits to having an older OS like better controls and it is much easier to hack newer tech that it is older tech
That being said, upgrading to Windows 10 may not be a bad opportunity.
i will when i build a new system
but this system has already run me around $4000 and its not that old
hopefully the next update fixes maybe what ever they changed on the last update.... lol
they said they fixed some crashes and bugs... while causing another apparently
Its also easy to nuke the telemetry of win10
Tbh you can get windows 10 free and a license for like 40$
They are very cheap as long you know what you are doing
I tried to get my old key from my last desktop but it seems like once you activate a key, you can't get it back'
it stays on that motherboard forever
dx12 sucks, vulkan all the way 
That’s why I use dx11 😎

value always wins over top performance
That's like saying Ford wins over Lexus in terms of quality/luxury/dependability. Value doesn't always equal better, but if you need something to get you from A to B well, then you got what you paid for.
There is no wrong answer to that, tbh.
Comes down to the buyer/user.
price to performance tho
well i fixed my osd so i can record something and show you, the file will be there, you just can find it..
@vital otter
at the end, change that number to 0 and then save it
np
yes try that

so my ssd arrived. 

im not looking forward to having to re-install everything tho
tis not going to be fun

Could I report bugs here?
this place is more for asking for help with the bugs than reporting it
So on PS4 me and my friend were tryna play combined arms on BFV but I kept leaving unexpectedly without me touching the controller.
i have an issue my self, im un-intalling things from steam to so i can move to an ssd but i although it says that i have them un-installed, the i can still see all the game files
ok fuck it, im just going to wipe my harddrive
that will solve it
Yeah no need to uninstall if you're wiping it anyway tbh
It's best to wipe and start from scratch anyway imo (coming from the guy with a HDD with the old OS hogging a lot of space)
ye thats what im going to do
wait if i reset the pc does that un-install windows as well?
like i chose the remove all folder
Question: I have a computer under my desk that is currently on a rug and I was wondering if there was a way I could try to get it under my desk
What can I get to put under my desk so I can put my computer there
i litterally have no idea what you mean
@grizzled apex iirc, the closer your pc is to the floor, the more dust it will collect
the best thing would be to get an old cupboard and put it on that
or get a bigger desk
don't obstruct air circulation
Anyone want me to DM pictures of what I mean: plus I want to see if I can do some cable management
yes plz
Because under my desk looks like someone just fcked up
im not too bad with cable management either
i somehow made it so there isnt a cable on show
for me
Just got a headset for PS4. HyperX Cloud Stinger Core. Would recommend.
@latent light yes but precious 1-2 degree difference by getting cold air from floor bruh

My game crashes every time i alt tab
My hardware should be ablt to handle it, drivers are up to date, repaired games server times.
try alt+enter instead of alt+tab
are you running the game in fullscreen windowed mode or just full screen
Need help and suggestions. Later, I'll be upgrading my i7 6700k to an I9 9900k. Any AIO liquid cooler you can recommend? Im planning to overclock the CPU a bit.

How much of a difference will delidding do to my CPU temps?

Whom has flawed testing
https://rockitcool.myshopify.com/products/quicksilver-solder-remover I think this works pretty well
@prime jasper I had a problem with my B350 hitting 3000 MHz but I updated chipset drivers and now I can do 3000 MHz on stock timings and voltage
If you don't feel like dragging a razor blade across the die
The CPU is soldered
You have to remove said solder off the die
not at all
RAM doesn't get hot and most sticks don't have a temp sensor
@steep gust great thanks bud!
RAM overclocking is mostly just testing stability
Does anyone know if it's possible to extract model/meshes from the files and inspect them in a 3d program?
MemTest86
MemTest
@prime jasper there's built in test in windows
and Kahru RAM test
memtest
The built in one is not very useful for stress testing
my RAM on B350 mobo was only able to do 2800 MHz at 1.4v CL19 timing, but after updating chipset drivers it runs at it's rated stock speed of 3000mhz at 1.2v and CL15
Kahru RAM test has the most options, but its $10
MemTest using that helper doesn't require booting into a USB and works pretty ok
Welcome to my memory overclocking guide. Before we get started, there are a few things I want to get out of the way, along with a few people to thank. First of all, thank you to @SteveGrabowski0 for being my partner in crime in this sub-forum, spreading the word about memory ...
You don't need to understand what timings actually do, you just need to understand how to stress test 
how much fps gain does overclocking your ram give you?
i did over clock my ddr4 from 2133 to 2666 and didnt notice much of a diff
prolly 5 fps diff
3200 seems like a sweet spot for both Intel and AMD
I didnt even mess with the timings and voltage
higher is better if you can keep timings down
yeah don't leave RAM voltage on auto or auto primary timings
Generally just lock VDIMM to 1.35v and call it good
that works for most types of ram?
why is there smaller gains the higher the frequency? CPUs can't take advantage of 4000+ mhz ram?
hadnt touch the voltage and it seems it's stable at 2666.
anything above say 3000 gives me BSOD
prolly the voltage since I kept it at stock?
I've got a pair of 2666 and 3000, my 2666 kit could overclock to 3000 easy but my $80 B350 board doesn't like ram overclocking that much
I hear that 9th gen solder wasn't that great of a solder job either
but argument could be made that 9th gen intel cpus are more dense than sandy bridge
and hence have worse thermal issues
uh sandy bridge wasn't exactly drawing 200w
They put more silicon above the die
and shoved more cores into a die that wasn't built to handle it
ofc it gets hot
old benchmarks show 2600k hitting 230w when OCd
ofc 9900k will hit higher than that
8 cores on 174mm² vs sandys 4 cores on 216mm²
imo explains why even solder struggles unless power draw drops
fx8350 has a die size of 315mm² and cores are way more spread out than coffee lake or even sandy
And unlike 9900k no die space is used on igpu
amd > intel honestly

They have come quite a long way

having all blue and then a black desk and black pc case is just so nice
so i have a gtx 1080 and only in bfv my gpu usage is constantly at 99% but i get like 50 fps on high settings
change to 1080p
does it come pre-delidded at least?
@agile siren those two things are hugely based on preferences.
You can't ping someone that said something that long ago.
@storm osprey don't worry, im glad that you pinged me 😄
Still against the rules
eh, he never got a response and if i had just openly replied theres no connection to who im replying to, let alone i didnt read the time date, just saw it was recent in terms of posts, even though tech chat is dead
@agile siren what are you looking for in a mouse and keyboard matters more. are you looking to buy something or just opinions?
just opinions
i personally think the GMMK keyboard offers one of the best values for keyboards IF you are interested in different kind of switches. for mice this one varies a lot but i love my logitech g pro
in general i think logitech offers the best mice out there, and they commonly go on sale too
can anyone confirm if playing on ultra settings should fix invisible chutes in firestorm?
The G502 and G602 are the 2 best mice I’ve had. The G100s is good too if you can find one. Best 20$ mouse ever
G403
is gtx 1050 good for battlefield 1 on lower settings?
with what
my current one is gt 450 and it sucks ass
can't run most maps
can, but basically unplayable
like amiens & the french city one are really shitty
sinai desert & argonne forest are alright ish
Yes I don’t know why you are trying to play bf on a 450
I aksed my friend who knows about computers and he said my cpu and gpu are bad
What is the cpu?
I don't really know anything about computers
1050 is alright. Do you know how much Vram?
a 1050 will probs get around 30fps on lowest settings
That is one old ass CPU
yeah
AMD phenom
old ass computer
ye if you don’t know much about pc’s I would honestly recommend you just getting a new system
^
because you eint gonna be changing any parts with no knowledge
It’s pretty cheap if you go rysen
I don't really need anything too crazy just playable framerates on most map
@little comet The 1050 is a shit buy
If you want a good pc, I’d do some YouTube searches
ye the 1050 won’t deliver that m8
1050 shouldn't even exist tbh
you will really struggle with it
1050 has 2gb of Vram, hell my 1060 can barely go past low
*3gb
That’s why I got a 1660 ti
a new system would be best
good buys under $200 for gpus?
because your gonna need a new everything
I dont have lots of money
Under 200$? Actually I think I saw a 570 4gb for 170$
guise can my 1050 2gb gpu be able to play on my 62inch TV? Or do I need a gold hdmi cord?
Let me find the link
I’m gonna guess you have a mobo that doesn’t support new cpu’s and your psu will be low wattage probs, there isn’t any point getting a new gpu as the cpu will bottle neck it
@prime jasper You actually need a diamond plated VGA cable
That’s true.
I forget my psu unfortunately
It won’t really matter. You can build a cheap system now thanks to rysen
Its probably pretty bad
Is it possible to hook up my xbox 360 to the TV to assist the single loss?
Try pc part picker. It’s a good website
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T 
That CPU is almost 10 years old
yeah
The PSU in that system isn't worthwhile
its an old computer
Buy a new one if you get a new system
Or just DIY
well yeah you build a new system
and give the PSU to the electronic recycling center in your town
Building a computer is very cheap nowadays that cryptomining is becoming less popular
That PSU should never go into a modern system
400-600$ for a starter budget
Old systems use lower wattage and not certified power supplies (300-350W~)
So barely enough to run the system
those are pre builts
I don't think mine is pre built
PSUs then came with a like 5 year warranty
That’s why you get after market 😎
To give an idea of lifespan my new PSU has a like 15 year warranty
apparently the phenom 1090 can go for like 200 tho
First time I was stupid enough not to check for water inside of it
and the gt 450 40
so maybe add to budget?
sell and get better ones?
but my friend said I would need a new motherboard for new cpu
Gts 450 goes for maybe 10$
none of that is worth much
back when it was new not now
Yeah
Newer motherboards use DDR4 memory (your probably using DDR3), and different socket types (intel still uses LGA 115x, AMD uses AM4
use pcpartspicker or logicalincrements to get a build guide and pricing
ok thx
Yeah, pc part picker is a very neat site
I think AM2+ is DDR2
I hope to get a job this summer so maybe then I get a better one?
But YouTube is the best source of understanding systems
I’d save up to 500$ before thinking about shopping, the CPU alone will set you back 150-250$
I think pretty much anything can run csgo
yeah I think I have around $400 rn
total
csgos fun tho
I’d also check Newegg every once in a while. They got a a lot of good deals now until about mid May
I’d highly go for a 1660 though. You need at least 5gb of Vram to run above medium-high
Fortunately, GPUs are becoming much cheaper now
True me, low is pretty bad
Even at 1080 is looks like someone tried to make the game from clay
And sticks
idk what that is
Then probably not
Its a computer parts store
That sometimes has some really good deals
short drive away from where I live
wait
nvm
no I dont
maps just stupid
would you recommend pcpartspicker?
buying the builds that they have?
thx for the help
Where do you live?
Micro center has a lot of good deals going on. Summer is the best time for it
Vancouver
checked and according to google theres some Micro Acupuncture place, but no micro center lol
I mean acupuncture is a pretty fun game tbh
Ah Vancouver, the heart of Canada
its an ok place
Better than Boston
weird weather though
Here's a funny story
A long time ago I was very curious to know what the Voltage switch did on old PSUs. While it was running I switched it and the PSU blew up in my face.
It was nobody's PC and it barely worked, no harm done. 
could have died
I was wearing protective gloves and did it with a non conductive tool, had everything ready. Was prepared for the worst.
It was funnn 

isnt an ied a bomb?
yes
i have IEDs in my mouse, 16.8m colors!
😎😂
wanting to get some hd 598's to replace my 700x since 700x doesnt have a replaceable cable
neeeeeerd
Does anyone know why the 1060 and 2060 get the same fps on bf5? 120fps on low settings
Ryzen 2600, 16gb, game installed on SSD on both machines
also the 2060 gets less fps when I disable the 4 settings at the bottom of the video settings
at 1080p?
@prime jasper 2600 bottlenecks your gpu on low
becomes more severe if you dont run b-die ram and OC cpu to 4.2ghz
theres no way you should get same perf of a 1060 on a 2060 in same system
i dunno, on low my 1070 isnt strained while my cpu is knocked hard
"1080p ultra setting"
sadly finding a settings test for 2600 with 1060 vs 2060 is pretty specific
but still, under no circumstance should they get the same fps
my 2600 at 4.2 hits slightly higher numbers on 1070 heavily OCd
when talking fps during hefty firefights
another way to test it is to see if you have lower fps on rotterdam
cus that seems to hit my 2600 harder than other maps
I get more fps on ultra, but on low, we get the same, and I lose fps if I disable the 4 bottom setting things
the latest driver update changed my settings, and I know my stuff, been playing BF for 17 years. But I let it ride and tried what the auto confige chose, worked very well
good deal? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183641918609
scam @prime jasper
someone hacked the account if you check his other sales youll see its fake
There isn't DDR5 
oh its not a hacked account scam
"This is a upgraded card, think carefully before your purchase. "
its a 7xx gen card
rebranded and fake flash
In the US you have 5G 😂
wait a second
1050ti doesn't have vga
South Korea has 5g
for like
20 people
The US doesn't have proper 5g
In Germany want to activate 5G , but first they want 20Mrd €
Ik
last i read us doesnt have true 5g
But the problem @steep gust is that in Germany your 3G is shit you have almost no internet connection its shit now they want to add 5G😂😂
at&t claims 5g, but its not really 5g, and they are being sued by other companies for claiming 5g and potentially hurting real 5gs reputation
It’s more like 5Ge
Which is AT&Ts highest cellular connection
I remember when Boston’s got 4G LTE
In some situations yes but some carriers do offer this
That’s why I Hate sprint contracts: I’m locked with an IPhone 8 for the next year
I wish I got the Samsung Galway S10e
35$ a month for unlimited
Still crazy how technology has advanced
So much in the last 5 years
We went from cellular going public, to 3G, 4G, LTE and then now 5G
unlimited cost nothing to provide
and 5G is still not out in the US
no companies actually have the infrastructure for it
@prime jasper get an RX 570, cheaper than the 1050Ti and much greater performance
Hmm should I leave gsync on or off? Since some recommended off and others said on
why the fuck would you have gsync off...
You pay a ton extra for gsync
its not an argument of buying or not, but to use it or not
its also not an on off thing, look at your settings again
you can turn it on or off
you can also give it a percentage of frame ripping between 0 and 100
Its on or off
my discord is on my laptop, my pc is in game, I'll post what I mean later
@prime jasper IF you ALREADY have a gsync monitor, there no reason to not use it
guys i have a problem
i have a laptop, its a lenovo y700 ideapad, yeah i know
its shit
but battlefield 1 used to work on it in 90-100 fps on low settings, i could mix some high/medium settings and still manage to get above 60 fps which is impressive considering the fact that my laptop is really shit
as i said, i used to
now my fps doesnt get above 60 no matter on what settings im playing
hgih, medium, low, same thing
and i feel like ive tried everything, running older nvidia drivers, switching stuff in nvidia panel, reinstalling the game, making space on the hdd
i searched across google and i found a solution, i guess
but it requires reinstalling the system and i really dont want to do that
since it could lead towards some technical difficulties and i have a lot of important por.. i mean important stuff
what really wierd is that in open space my fps goes to like 55-58 fps
but in closed space, like inside buildings, the fps is... around 40
it should be other way around since in open space gpu has to more rendering
could there be anything i missed?
