I think i'm too old to get the joke

no just saying that EVGA has no RGB on their boards.. quite a fan of them. same with their black edition cards
prime jasper
none of their boards do?
oak gate
i'm not sure if none of them..
but certainly the classified Z270 and FTW Z270
not sure if they put RGB on the 370 series
odd goblet
I don't really get the point of rgb
prime jasper
its cheap, flashy, and appeals to a certain crowd
costs next to nothing to add at this point
odd goblet
I understand ambilight and bias lighting but not lights inside a computer
supple bane
my setup is full rgb
the only thing that isnt is my pc components
i just have light strips from ikea in there
i even have an egb mouse pad

plus if your really want to mod the ps4 and dust it out you can just pop open the back
misty totem
what headset do you rock
misty totem
nice i use astro a40s with a leather mod and a mixer
storm osprey
i always hear astros are good, but havent heard them myself
supple bane
i think they are wayy too overpriced for pc but for console not that bad
wait can you use a desk mic on console ?
storm osprey
as long as its usb or 3.5mm i would assume so
supple bane
ok even on console i think they are overpriced. you can get some nice headphones and a snowball cheaper than that
storm osprey
sennheiser pc37x
supple bane
and im pretty sure the audio quality and the mic quality would be better
storm osprey
arent most astros wireless and he has the amp at least
supple bane
^
i found a pair of Sennheiser's at school heheh in media we have a rack full of headphones and one of them were Sennheiser
im not sure which ones they were but ik they were old and that was it
oak gate
do you guys mainly use on board audio or like a dac or something?
supple bane
i use on board
oak gate
right.. my on board shat recently .. didn't want to go through damn RMA.. instead got a creative sound card.. pretty amazing tbh
storm osprey
for gaming at home i have a soundcard, for music listening at work i have an amp/dac
oak gate
^ cool.. which soundcard?
storm osprey
soundblaster z
oak gate
I wouldn't have said I would see that much of a diff but goddamn that is a huge difference
right. I got a cheap Audigy Fx
but still its really so much better than on board
storm osprey
depends on the built in sound and headphones really
most on board now are good enough
but yea, soundblaster with its software is super good for gaming
oak gate
absolutely
storm osprey
i feel 100% confident in my audio

haha I can imagine
storm osprey
my friend has the same sound card , and he would do a little girl effect, and i would do an old man
we would just roleplay in pubg while playing
supple bane
you should have gone into a squad with other people and done rape pranks, like say things like ohh let me touch you and see what the others react with
that would make a nice yt vid actually
storm osprey
lol, the effects are obviously not real so idk how far that would go
it was just hilarious with my group of friends
we would literally be crying
supple bane
i could imagine
i love it when someone has the option that makes the voice high starts laughing
that basically makes me piss my self
storm osprey

yes we need a licence for the tele

if you have health insurance, then it doesnt cost an arm, only a leg

supple bane
well how can you brake a leg and not go to the hospital ? XD
storm osprey

you can just walk it off
i broke my leg in september, badly hospital bills are nearly 40k US $

Hi guys.
Any of you know how i can still the sound of the game when im using it in borderless mode but witch to another window using Alt+Tab?
I would appreciate the help, please.
finite torrent
I'm so confused
supple bane
so you mean hear the game audio while on another tab?
supple bane
assuming you mean what I said earlier, there should be a setting in the audio option which allows you to do that
I don’t see why you would need it tho?
mystic leaf
@supple bane
Sometimes I need Alt + Tab and listen to the game audio. It is convenient for me on some occasions.
But i was looking into the differents settings in the game, at audio as well, but cant found it.
supple bane
ye I don’t think it would be possible, Ik it’s possible if the game is in windowed mode, but in borderless I don’t think that’s a thing, sorry
mystic leaf
Sadly it not work even on window mode, no fullscreen or borderless.
Then there is just no such feature on BF5.
timid acorn
I have game problems
supple bane
ye it’s such a random thing to want, I don’t blame them for not implementing it. I often WANT to have the game muted when I tab out, because I will watch a clip or something along those lines and if the game Audio still is playing it will interfere
@timid acorn what is your issue?
minor turret
Its not a random thing, many games have that option which is nice to have. Though to be fair, windows should control that behaviour
it might still control that behaviour but hidden in some weird setting
supple bane
Windows being windows basically
timid acorn
Its hard to explain
supple bane
Well explain away
supple bane
right are you on pc or console ?
minor turret
let me guess, huge weird texture streaks that go across the entire world?
supple bane
Ik exactly what you mean btw, seen it in other games
timid acorn
pc
supple bane
Ye it is what mcsalty said then
supple bane
First thing to do is check for driver up dates and if so get the newest one downloaded, or maybe try a clean install of the one you already have
if it isn’t that then you probs have a faulty gpu
what is it the gpu you are using?
prime jasper
Anyone else having a cpu bottleneck all of a sudden because of the update?
supple bane
what cpu?
prime jasper
I5-8300h
prime jasper
Didn’t have a problem with it before the update
minor turret
check graphical settings they can reset
supple bane
it also only has 4 cores, that is a big issue with bfv and you will always be at 100%
next time hop into some combined arms in windows mode or get an old second screen and monitor your temps while you play
timid acorn
how do I screenshot
supple bane
you can’t sent it on this server
prime jasper
I have msi afterburner running along with it
timid acorn
nvm
supple bane
that only monitors gpu temps m8, you need cpu temps
oh wait
That has an osd I forgot
What temps are you getting?
prime jasper
80-90
prime jasper
My laptop doesn’t have a very good cooling solution
supple bane
I mean, my laptop gets to 70 while using discord so tbf that’s kinda good for a laptop
no laptop does
and the worse thing is there is nothing you can do
maybe under clock it if you can with that cpu, but that will hugely reduce the performance
prime jasper
I switched to dx11 and I’m only getting about 60% cpu usage which is pretty good considering that I’m on a conquest server
supple bane
ye the different dx give huge performance increases on either side of it
I would never have thought to mess with the dx to sort that issue out but if it works it works
grizzled apex
Well I found out that if your laptop is plugged into a outlet, it stays awake if you closed it and left it on. After 5 hours, my laptop almost lit my bed on fire

grizzled apex
Does it bring you to a new cutscene?
prime jasper
The game starts, and something with personal information text comes up, after that bightnees thing comes up and then audio thing, then the prologe starts with the EA logo and dice
That is what's happening all day
grizzled apex
Did you try to verify the game files?
finite torrent
Did you finish the prologue? @prime jasper
prime jasper
Yeah, I have done it 4 times today
grizzled apex
If you right click battlefield 5 in origin, you can repair the game files to fix any missing or corrupt files
prime jasper
Aight, I'll try that
prime jasper
Maybe I should post it on forum?
finite torrent
@prime jasper what happens after you finish it?
grizzled apex
I’d wait. Sometimes it is simple to fix, sometimes it’s not
prime jasper
@finite torrent I come to main menu and I can play as usual.
finite torrent
Ya but he needs to do the prologue every time he wants to play
grizzled apex
Because when you launch the game for the first time, it goes to the prologue
prime jasper
I need to olay the prologue everytime I open the game @grizzled apex
That's the problem
grizzled apex
Hm... I’d try repairing the game
prime jasper
Doing it right now
grizzled apex
Or better yet... could your system not be able to run the game?
prime jasper
I have run it perfectly since it launched
I have msi 1060 6gb and a Intel I5 8600k

I didnt touch any settings on bf 5

@vale current BF5 is very CPU demanding, more cores the better also make sure you have dual channel RAM

I know that 4k is 2160p

And I know 1440p. Usually like 2560 x 1440 resolution or something like that, right?

2048×1080.

That's practically the same as full HD then
supple bane
full hd is 1920x 1080, so ye pretty much
supple bane
np

@tiny obsidian I'd definitely go with 1080p144 then
tiny obsidian
Yea that's what i am thinking, the monitor is nearly double price here actually
warm junco
Depending on what you play tho
supple bane
1080 on a 24" screen has an amazing pixle per inch, it looks great

With that GPU I'd opt for an affordable 1440p option, personally

I like 4K on 27"

@100-120hz. But I'm no expert on monitors by any means.

when there is a give away but you dont have a qr scanner

Looks like Nvidia is up to some bleeding edge stuff:
"GPU Business. The gross margin of our GPU business increased during fiscal year 2019 when compared to fiscal year 2018, primarily due to strong sales of high-end GeForce gaming GPUs and revenue growth in Datacenter, including Tesla, GRID and DGX, for cloud, deep learning, AI, and graphics virtualization.

They'd mentioned the automotive sector, but were relatively vague on the AI front.

HELP! my game keeps crashing while im playing, its freezes then crashes for no reason, what can i do?
prime jasper
are you overclocking?
prime jasper
turn it all off then try again
cunning junco
its only my gpu tho
prime jasper
doesnt matter
cunning junco
its factory overclocked
prime jasper
as in you havent pushed it any higher?
prime jasper
well did it only start after something happened recently?
cunning junco
no, the game has installed 56% so im playing the story and about 30 minutes in i shot i guy and it froze and crashed
prime jasper
oh lol, I guess wait and see what happens after the full install

let it install, also after installing, do a file repair check

@cunning junco do you have system specs you can list? It can probably help to identify the problem
steep gust
nah iGPUs get disabled when you plug in a dedicated
grizzled apex
True
But the Vega 5 and the Rx 570 use the same software
So it could be possible the board is trying to determine which video card is the best to use for the game
grizzled apex
Or it could be the BIOS

hey so why the fuck would everything in my game library be gone all of a sudden?
it kept starting in offline mode as well before this happened

@grizzled apex would turning on direct 12 in settings help since my gpu supports it?
supple bane
it could, chaging between the DX's can effect stability
cunning junco
It told me to restart and it's taking longer to load back up, is that normal?
supple bane
probs just a coincidence
supple bane
yes
cunning junco
I might want to turn that on
grizzled apex
If you press shift and f1
supple bane
go on origin, settings, origin in game, fps

Or that

It keeps on crashing randomly sometime just the game or my whole pc

Pretty random tbh

It did say something about temps

How long into playing does crash?
supple bane
i just spent so long on building something that should be so simple
i made a little headset hanger that uses the screws in my case to hold its self up
i got a thin metal bar and bent it, at the top i put a hole, and then got some rubber and cut it to go around the bottom piece and heated it up so it shrunk and then boop
i have a nice headset stand
storm osprey
nice
supple bane
but for what ever reason that took me an hour to complete

it took me ages to get the edges smooth as they kept cutting the rubber as it shrunk

Still, under 200$ for a mobo and a processor brand new that’s better than an I7 4790k? That’s pretty good
Yeah, I’m a college student, not a charity worker. Good money in building them though
I’ll charge 20$ to build a pc, 10$ if you subscribe to my channel xD
storm osprey
what if i give a shoutout while streaming?
grizzled apex
Eh, I might start up my channel again doing highlights from battlefield

already do that, but its more of a spot for me to put all these clips after I mash them together so they dont fill up my drive lol

Used too, but college got in the way sadly
But YouTube is a pretty hard career
Make next to no money from ad revenue
prime jasper
ditto for streaming. dont expect to make squat unless you get lucky
grizzled apex
It’s too bad that kind of career is dying because of googles greed
Yeah, anyone above 5M subs can break TOS, that’s fine. Below that? Well make your life a living hell

I have a couple of clips, I’m trying to get my aim to the point I get called a hacker as much as stodeh does, atm I get called a hacker for real by like the whole enemy team like once a months, I would like that like weekly

and for 99% of people...

Imagine if google lost its main advertisement revenue builders
supple bane
also, I know nothing about streaming and I wanted to see if my pc could even do it but yt was telling me that I need to enable my encoder, could you tell me noob ass what that means?
prime jasper
what client are you using to stream?
grizzled apex
100g lets be like:
supple bane
Like seriously, I literally have no idea about anything to do with streaming
grizzled apex
Oh like a stream key?
prime jasper
try Streamlabs OBS for a client which will help you set that up and customize it
easy to use and works fine for me
grizzled apex
OBS is amazing
I use it only for streaming mostly because it doesn’t use much internet usage like shadowplay
supple bane
so it isn’t as simple as just pressing stream on GeForce experience. ?
mystic leaf
I have like 2 hours getting sound and bullets desync... and i have not notification about ping issues.
prime jasper
do you have a second monitor?
supple bane
yes
grizzled apex
Is it hooked up to the board or the card?
prime jasper
GFX doesnt give you any visuals as to what your stream looks like or anything good like Streamlabs will. Ive used it before, it works sure but its inferior in terms of customization
supple bane
well... it isn’t hooked up at all..:
I used it a few months ago and put it back in the attic
But it is there to use
prime jasper
the seperate client can run on teh second screen so you can see chat, your framerates, your up/down link quality, your camera preview, etc
supple bane
Jesus, I didn’t say I was planning on taking it seriously
My friend said he was gonna try, I might wait for him to start and see what happens and then I will just piggy back off him
prime jasper
yeah but GFX sucks, I used that for a time but had no idea how bad it was until a friend pointed out all these issues I had no way of fixing since its so limited
aint nobody gonna be having fun if your stream looks like a powerpoint slide
supple bane
also I don’t even think my poor 4 core cpu will be able to handle a stream anyway
prime jasper
while gaming? yeah thatd be a struggle. just talking or playing something light? sure should work
definitely not this game
supple bane
ye I won’t be streaming for a while then
Nyphon has knocked some sense into me and know I know that it doesn’t need money spent on it if it doesn’t need money spent on it
And this is one of those cases
So I will wait for this cpu to not be able to handle games, and probs get a 2600x if they are still alive by this time
prime jasper
Nyphon is a bad influence. Only the dark side can give you what you want, what you need
supple bane
well he stopped me from spending £300 on a gpu I didn’t need so I would say he is a good influence
prime jasper
yes, but the dark side
supple bane
Dark side my arse 
also can I just point out that I made my profile picture on ms paint
I found the shape off of google, and just but g02 and granty_02 on it and coloured it in with discord grey and made a fade effect
prime jasper
and you can use that on your stream lel
supple bane
Well actually, I’m building a pc for my dad that’s gonna be in the same room so is there a way I could use that as the streaming pc or do I need an algato for that
and I have no idea if that’s how you spell that but I’m gonna go with it
prime jasper
*elgato
prime jasper
and yes you could use it as a stream rig, bit more involved of a setup but theres guides aplenty how to do it
I just use my machine and offload the encoding for the card with NVENC
supple bane
elgato sounds like a Mexican criminal
prime jasper
isnt it just 'the cat'? el gato
supple bane
I don’t speak Spanish or what ever language that is
grizzled apex
Yes it does xD
supple bane
I was taught Spanish but if I listened in the those lessons Is a different story
grizzled apex
3 years of high school Spanish later
supple bane
I don’t even think I can count to 3
supple bane
we have numbers for that here,
9 is A+
8 is a
so on so on
Any way back to Mexico’s biggest drug lord
I just feel it would take wayyy too much effort to stream off of a second rig considering Ik that it isn’t going to go anywhere
prime jasper
it can be fun if you have some friends watching and chatting and such
supple bane
like I said, I think I’ll just wait for the others in my group to start and see what happens, if they get some success I might start,

cosmic warren
my game just keeps randomly crashing again
Wait wtf does anything above my sentence have anything to do with Tech for this game wtf.
supple bane
crashing is a tech problem
first off, how frequent is the crashing ?
and is the game downloaded on an onld hdd or is an ssd ?
a game can crash badly if it is on an old hdd
next thing, is anything on your system overclocked ? if so remove it.
the last guy that had a crashing problem said he had to up date his bios to fix it, so try that

Ps5 with RTX 😂😂
supple bane
i think they are talking a load of shit with the ps 5
because if they put a card like that into a console chassi it is going to have over heating problems no matter what
a consoles air vent will not keep a full gtx / rtx card cool

Just restored my ssd hopefully game will stop crashing.
So painful now even other games were crashing so i had yo restore my ssd because i had no other choice hopefully this fixes it.
storm osprey
@solid nest i am
supple bane
quick question.... im building my dad a pc and he wants something that is kinda future proof so im getting him a 2600 x, i would like 8gb of any ddr4 ram, any mobo suggestions ?
prime jasper
are you looking at b450 or x470?
supple bane
doesnt really matter, it also has to be micro atx, forgot to mention that
prime jasper
that certainly narrows the options down, what have you found so far?
supple bane
tbh, i have only looked at a few, there is no need for any lighting or any other cool features like that as it is going in a case without a side panel.
storm osprey
why 2600x instead of 2600?
prime jasper
why not? clocks better out of the box
supple bane
dont know, i guess that works too, as long as it is has more than 4 cores and is semi powerful and very cheap it doesnt mater
it isnt for gaming, but he said that he wants something that isnt super potato
storm osprey
2600 is cheaper, same c/t, lower clocks, and smaller cooler
prime jasper
well if he is just using it for email and documents then a 2400g is quite sufficient
supple bane
well im gonna get a 3rd party cooler any way
storm osprey
i guess we need to know your dads use
supple bane
ill make a pc part picker thingy thanks nyphon on a system that im thinking of then ill come back
prime jasper
if he isnt gaming might as well go with a 2400g otherwise you have to spec out a graphics card too
storm osprey
that thanks nyphon seems passive aggressive...
supple bane
no, hehehe
storm osprey
is your dad gaming at all?
supple bane
i was saying thanks for like pointing me in the direction of pc part picker
supple bane
probs not he wont be gaming, it would take wayyy to long to explain what he is using it for and as far as im aware it isnt thatttt intensive, but his exact words to me were i want something that is going to be future proof yanno?
in fact he deffo wont be gaming he is like 55 xD
prime jasper
good thing about am4 is that you can slap a better APU in it down the road
just get a 2400g with a b450 matx and youre good
supple bane
well im going to get something like a 1050 or a 1050ti as when i proposed the idea of obg he shuck his head XD
storm osprey
yea, so anything in the ryzen lineup without a "g" at the end wont have integrated gpu
prime jasper
why would he need a graphics card when he isnt gaming?
the APU is more than sufficient for videos
and solitare
supple bane
well i would kinda want something sorta ok as i would like to start piggy backing off of it to stream as i said yesterday
supple bane
ok, is an apu as simple to set up as a normal gpu tho? like just vga in the back of the mobo and job done ?
storm osprey
yep
prime jasper
yes indeedy
storm osprey
hdmi, whatever the connections are
prime jasper
comes with a perfectly fine stock cooler too
supple bane
ye he said he wants the same storage setup as me with a 1tb hdd and a 1tb ssd which is understandable as he does a lot of photography and it would be nice to have some extra cheap storage to throw all those photos and stuff on,
storm osprey
intel 660p m.2 nvme ssds are 100 bucks in us right now
prime jasper
yeah those have gotten very cheap lately, not sure how it is over the pond
storm osprey
supple bane
I’ll check in a sec
that also means I need a mobo with an m.2 slot but I’m guessing that comes standard on most modern mobos
prime jasper
yes basically any b450 should have it but its easy to check
storm osprey
yea i would keep an eye out to make sure, but i think its a pretty common feature now
prime jasper
for what he's doing though if you find sata ssd being cheaper then just go with that
supple bane
well I’m gonna go melt my eyes out my skull on part picker and once I’m done I’ll send a link 👌
prime jasper
and no you dont need a gigawatt psu lol
storm osprey
wtf 2400g is close to price to 2600
grizzled apex
There’s a good deal on Newegg for a 2600x and a asrock AB450 pro4 board that has 2 pcie x16 slots, 3 pcie x4 slots and 2 m.2 slots and dual channel memory up to 32gb
Around 200$ usd
supple bane

he needs to click and thats it, i would have gone with one of those horrible microsoft things but i would like something that kinda ergonomic

as long as cpu doesnt suck you should be getting 60 fps at low at 1080p for bfv
and i would just get a logitech mouse, those things last forever

@grizzled apex Checking out Thanks.
grizzled apex
It’s bettter to look up your specs for a specific game on YouTube and watch the gameplay. Different specs play differently but I think that gpu may need an upgrade in the near future
storm osprey
gpu and cpu are gonna get hit hard in bfv
only thing thats good is ram...
(assuming 2x8 andd around 3000mhz)
grizzled apex
Cpu isn’t terrible. Any quad core 2.5ghz cpu should hold up any game past low
Fortunately, the gpu seems to be the bottleneck here
Which can be easily upgraded to an RX570
buoyant junco
i was looking for 1080ti but the price gap was HUGE. i couldn't affor that and made my decision on 1050ti.
grizzled apex
If you have the budget, I’d save for a 1660 ti. I have one right now and it can push past low settings EASILY
storm osprey
that video shows gpu at around 50% use, and cpu at 90%
buoyant junco
is Geforce Experience Optimizing settings reliable?
