true but i dont do anything school related on it

molten bramble
#

Sigh.

#

I can do nothing more for you. Best of luck.

dawn badge
#

well thats only cause i do my school work on my laptop

supple bane
#

i return from my break!

#

oh you gave up...

dawn badge
#

on what?

supple bane
dawn badge
#

the argument or the pc?

supple bane
#

i mean hydra ya goof

dawn badge
#

not supprised

#

they did give me some important things tho

#

well im bored 😛

#

@molten bramble oof I would have recommended to not go with an SSF card

#

idk how the reference PCB for the 1660ti is

supple bane
#

when you are starting to realise you are drawing too much power from the sockets in my space OMEGALUL

#

with the addition of my dads pc coming into this room, we are starting to think that pulling all the stuff he has an 2 pc's of of one socket is too much, we are gonna use an extension cord from another room and run it under the floor boards to here

Hey guys I just started in bf1 campaign 4 fun but the binocular bug is still there (after picking up anything the binoculars stop working)... Anyone knows a workaround for xb1?

molten bramble
#

Heh, this card drew so much additional power, that my UPS gave out and said uncle.

warm junco
#

PSU*?

molten bramble
#

No?

latent light
#

UPS died?

molten bramble
#

Just shutdown because it was too much draw.

#

So I've gotta go pick up a new one.

latent light
#

what is it's VA and wattage

molten bramble
#

About time to anyways tbh.

#

It's an ST625U ( https://www.cyberpowersystems.com/product/ups/st625u/ ) for this machine, but by my calculations I am using about 747W. Completely overlooked it yesterday.

The CyberPower ST625U uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system provides battery backup and surge protection for lightning-induced surges and other power events that can damage electronic equipment. This unit delivers enough battery backup to power connected electronics throu...

latent light
#

I've got 625VA one as well, don't use it for my PC though

#

I recommend 850VA and 510W or higher

molten bramble
#

Probably another 60-90W for monitors and other peripherals on the same circuit.

#

In any case, I'll be swapping to a more serious UPS.

latent light
#

8700K on boost clock will consume around 120-130 watts

#

1660Ti will spike up to 140 probably

#

1050Ti 80ish

molten bramble
latent light
#

you can replace the battery in those

molten bramble
#

You can chain them to additional power as well, but I don't need any of that. Just need enough time for the computer to shutdown.

#

Oh shit, MC has them on sale.

latent light
#

lol

molten bramble
#

It's like they knew! hmm thonk

latent light
#

microcenter is selling the Ryzen 5 1600 for only $80

#

molten bramble
#

@latent light You should have been here for this dude last night and the garbage fire of a computer apparently forced upon him.

molten bramble
#

Yeah.

latent light
#

oof

molten bramble
#

This poor kid...

latent light
#

he wants to play BFV with those specs?

molten bramble
#

Yes.

latent light
#

not going to even start lol

molten bramble
#

Thanks.

#

lol

latent light
#

just going to black screen and crash

molten bramble
#

At some point, I just 'couldn't' anymore.

latent light
#

@dawn badge those specs are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay under minimum requirements, you need an absolute minimum of 2GB video memory for BFV to even start

#

you might as well get a used Xbox One for $120 and play at 900p 60 fps

molten bramble
#

That's what folks told him, but...

latent light
#

and that A6-9500 CPU only has 2 cores and 2 threads

#

need at least 4 cores/threads for BFV to even run

#

and he has single channel ram...

#

if BFV was ported on Xbox 360 or PS3, it would run better on those than on his PC

What's fucky with my Battlefield 3

hydra, you said that it was "last night" we had that convo with the guy with the computer made out of rubber bands and dog shit

#

for me it was this morning

#

that is super weird to think about

molten bramble
#

@steep gust SSF? Or SFF (Small Form Factor)? Because it's arguably a full-size card 3/4 the length of the case.

#

Well, not a full-length of the case at least.

supple bane
#

my card doesnt even reach the end of my micro atx mobo OMEGALUL

molten bramble
#

@supple bane Haha, yeah

#

For me it was like 5AM, but I slept, so it was last night in my mind. 😄

supple bane
#

fair enough i guess LUL

#

well if it was 5 am there isnt that much time difference, i had only just woke up too

#

@latent light what made that kinda disturbing was that he payed 500 pound< for it

latent light
supple bane
#

thats like 650 dollars just fyi

molten bramble
#

I am guessing BetrayedPredator was talking about something the size of a 1080Ti

#

This card was insane in R6S last night. Outside of the power draw issue, it was a good buy.

supple bane
#

siege is a great optimised game imo

#

it feels i can crank the settings to has high as i go and i get fucking more fps

molten bramble
#

The smoothness in the framerate literally contributed to wins.

#

The difference between it and the 1050Ti is close to lightyears.

supple bane
#

but what op do you main?!? WoahTea

molten bramble
#

If I optimize it, probably will be even better.

supple bane
#

well i mean the 1050ti is just tinned shit

molten bramble
#

I just wanted to see how much load I could throw at it. No stutter.

supple bane
#

i think that the 1050ti is ok for some non gaming stuff and older/less intensive games. but AAA games are a no go for it now

molten bramble
#

The 1050Ti was fine if I turned down the uber settings, but give it any major intricate detail and damn.

supple bane
#

i just cant wait for 4 cores to not be enough for gaming.. so i have an excuse to upgrade OMEGALUL

#

nyphon has banged some sense into me

#

ik now that i shouldnt upgrade if i dont need to

#

so now instead of getting it when i dont need it, i just wait till i need it and get it anyway OMEGALUL

sacred walrus
#

Then get an fx 6300

#

I love mine

supple bane
#

i could cut my frames in like half

molten bramble
#

@supple bane I buy for the need, not the desire.

supple bane
#

if not more

#

exactly, nyphon has got that into my head now

molten bramble
#

If I buy with the latter, it's typically a money waster.

#

And outside of Apple, I don't early-adopt.

sacred walrus
#

I use my 1050 Ti with it and I get 75+ fps on medium settings in bf5

supple bane
sacred walrus
#

1080p

molten bramble
#

75+ FPS? I don't believe it.

sacred walrus
#

16 gbs of ram

supple bane
#

i only barely get that with a i5 7400 and a 1060

sacred walrus
#

Well thats what the origin fps counter is telling me

supple bane

you have some wizardry going on

You cant get 75

supple bane

no i can

#

i get exactly that

sacred walrus
#

Weird.

#

Oh

supple bane
#

which means that you shouldnt

sacred walrus
#

Yes

#

Of couse

#

Course

supple bane
#

as your gpu is worse and the cpu is god awful now-adays

sacred walrus
#

Ya

#

I over clocked my gpu by putting 90 mhz on the core and memory clock

#

Its factory oced as well

supple bane
#

im pretty sure you could go further than that btw

sacred walrus
#

Its an MSI single fan

supple bane
#

i have single too

sacred walrus
#

How far?

supple bane
#

and i have +220 mghz on core and +500 on memory

sacred walrus
#

Wow!

supple bane
#

your may not get as far

sacred walrus
#

Is yours factory oced though?

#

My cpu is not oced

supple bane
#

if it crashes then just restart and go lower

sacred walrus
#

Ya

#

Do you use msi afterburner?

supple bane
#

yes

sacred walrus
#

Just because your os doesn’t crash doesnt mean that its stable

supple bane

you have to use a benchmark ofc

Can someone help me with my pc. My pc used to run ok it is not the best pc but it is a good one. Yesterday it just got really fucking slow. I have not downloaded anything and can’t solve the problem.

supple bane
#

open task manager, and go to performance, look to see if any of the hard ware is being pushed to 100%

#

especially look at the cpu and the hdd/ssd

#

did you find out if it was at 100%?

austere adder
#

My Disc says 100%

supple bane
#

yup. thats why

#

scroll down the list and see what is causing it to be at 100%

#

then say what the program is called

austere adder
#

Do you know a fix for it. Or does it mean new HDD or SSD

#

Anti malware uses a lot for some reason

supple bane
#

just try a restart...

austere adder
#

And background agent

#

I have restarted it 1000000 times by now

supple bane
#

ah right

#

try to disable the anti virus, then start it back up

austere adder
#

Now it only uses 0,1mb/s again

supple bane
#

the disk is or the drive is ?

austere adder
#

The anti malware

supple bane
#

i have never experience a time were restarting didnt fix that issue

austere adder
#

It legit takes 1 minute to open google

supple bane
#

ye it will if the drive is at 100%

#

there has to be a program that is using the drive

#

and you need to find it

#

and if it isnt something to do with windows, close it

#

i have been there, some times, if i open epic launcher, it uses 100% of my cpu and gpu

#

and that sucks

#

that was a few days ago

austere adder
#

It is not the CPU there is 100% it is the one called Disk

supple bane
#

ik, i was just saying ik how much it sucks

#

like i said

#

you need to go down the list of background processes and find the culprit

austere adder
#

There is just nothing there is over 0,1mb/s. so I don’t understand it.

supple bane
#

well then idk

austere adder
#

Thanks for helping anyways.

imao planetside 2 finally went to dx11

I average 150fps on competitive settings in semi large fights

Still wish games supported Dx 10.1

GTA is the only game I know that supports it

latent light

Is this true?

steep gust
#

Not always

The 2080ti issues were linked to bad VRAM solder IIRC

#

and the GPU die isn't checking to make sure the data it gets from VRAM is correct

latent light

I thought my artifact issue on boot was from bad VRAM but it turned out to be a glitch with WattMan trying to load my last settings

sharp bane
#

What controller are you using @hollow oriole

#

Xbox or Ps4

#

Or third party

hollow oriole
#

XBOX 360

sharp bane
#

Wireless or Wired

hollow oriole
#

Wireless

sharp bane
#

Check options to see if gamepad is enabled

hollow oriole
#

In-game?

sharp bane
#

mhm

#

I believe BF4 has an option to turn on or off the gamepad but I could be wrong

random breach
#

people still play BF4 on 360

#

this makes me happy

sharp bane
#

No he has a 360 controller

#

and hes trying to play BF4

random breach
#

oh right

sharp bane
#

@hollow oriole Does the XBOX 360 controller work in any other games?

#

Have you tried it on BF1, I saw you launch that

#

Could be you need the BF4 plugin

hollow oriole
#

Yea, it works on everything else.

#

No issues.

sharp bane
#

I think bF4 only has partial controller support so hold on

#

ill try and find a link or a workaround

#

im searching up old forum posts that havent 404'd or locked yet

#

Most posts you'll see in BF4 for controller issues will result in asshats going dude mouse/kb

hollow oriole
#

Yea,

#

I use Kb/m for ground but jet's / helicoptors I use controllers.

#

I've got over 25k kills in heli's. It would be hard to relearn on Kb/m

sharp bane

this should help

hollow oriole

Can I get banned ofr using that?

Silly question of course.

sharp bane

No.

alright so im getting a pew psu sooner or later cos mine isnt all that great, and im struggling on deciding on modular or non modular. i knkow the differences between the two, but i dont know if i was to spend the extra money on a full modular and not use alot of the cables or just buy a semi modular and use most of the cables that i absolutely need. i also know that modular makes for better cable manegment also. This is the psu im thinking of getting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B72W1VA/?coliid=I27G7IB97HU2XI&colid=3TZ7ZD7XU38CR&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

grizzled apex
#

Semi modular is honestly a bit better because it’s the halfway between cheap and good for future proofing. Having the ability to add only the wires you need is really good for cable management

unkempt mirage
#

yeah i agree, im also pretty tight on a budget rn

molten bramble
#

@unkempt mirage Buy for your budget, avoid over-extending yourself.

#

Outside of that, it depends on your build. Is it open or glassed in where someone can see all the internals? If so, you may not want to have a normal PSU on display. It really comes down to vanity though as much as personal satisfaction. I ran a non-modular PSU on a glassed-in case for years. I still made that cabling tidy and tucked away, but it didn't look as clean as a modular setup. In the end, I couldn't care less about what others might think about that, I was satisfied with it for what it was. So ask yourself that question, can you live with a present, but tidied up cabling layout? If so, save the coin.

#

BTW, I have the 850 of that line and it's an outstanding PSU. The 650 is often on sale at Best Buy and Walmart as well if you live in the US at prices that can compete.

#

It's one of the few category of items that doesn't always have a ridiculous markup.

hypthetical pc build

#

thoughts pls

silk echo
#

budget?

#

OC plans?

#

Id say get a 700W PSU and 3200RAM as Ryzen would benifit more from higher clocked ram

lethal thicket
#

aight

#

budget ~$2500 aud

#

no idea what oc is

silk echo
#

Over clock

lethal thicket
#

this is my first time actually building a pc so lol

#

ah kk

silk echo
#

IE getting more preformence out of your hardware by overclocking it

lethal thicket
#

yeah i vaguely know what overclocking is

silk echo
#

I dont really think you need water cooling tbh

#

I never reccomend water cooling but thats me

lethal thicket
#

that was one of my friends ideas

#

mainly chose it bc it looked cool ngl

safe meteor
#

Yeah was gonna say, the water cooling is kinda stretching the budget

#

Especially if it's your first time, get a good cooling fan instead

silk echo
#

You can get a NH-d15

lethal thicket
#

i think i had a $60 cooler before that

#

probably not good enough tho

silk echo
#

And get a better PSU

#

It is

lethal thicket
#

oh ok

silk echo
#

I have ryzen with the stock cooler

safe meteor
#

As long as it's not stock intel cooler it's good enough

lethal thicket
#

so i dont need to get another cooler then

#

if the stock one works fine

silk echo
#

Never goes over 70c on 2K res 100FPS on ultra

lethal thicket
#

kk

silk echo
#

Get a NH-D15 and get faster ram and 600W PSU would be better for future plans

lethal thicket
#

ok

#

coolio

#

thanks for the advice

silk echo
#

Also you MIGHT want to look into getting an 1080Ti if you care about FPS and dont care about RTX

#

1080Ti is still more powerful

safe meteor
#

1080Ti is increasing in price right now

lethal thicket
#

thats the main reason i chose 2060

#

for the rtx

silk echo
#

GTX cards have it now

lethal thicket
#

but from what i can see the 1080ti is barely available in australia

#

and overseas shipping is an arse for us

safe meteor
#

Yep @lethal thicket. They're becoming collector's cards now down here

lethal thicket
#

costs more to ship than the actual product

silk echo
#

I think its hella worth it
Better FPS than the 2060 AND it has RTX

#

If you can get your hands on one

safe meteor
#

You'll get lucky to find a new one for less than 1500

lethal thicket
#

f

#

shouldve bought one earlier then lmao

#

ah well ill see what i can do

silk echo
#

1660Ti is also a good choice

#

But youd be better off with the 2060

lethal thicket
#

i was thinking about that

safe meteor
#

1660Ti is only recommended for 1080p

lethal thicket
#

havent gotten around to comparing it with the other ones

safe meteor
#

It'll struggle at 2k iirc

silk echo
#

My 1070 aint struggeling with 2K

safe meteor
#

1660Ti has a smaller bandwidth

silk echo
#

I know

#

Not too much to make it useless tho

safe meteor
#

Fair point

lethal thicket
#

yeah all the 1080ti's on the site are over $700

#

not gonna be doing that

silk echo
#

Anyways, id say get ride of the water cooling and replace it with a NH-D15 and get faster RAM pref. 3200mhz and 600W if you can for the future if you want to upgrade

lethal thicket
#

kk

silk echo
#

GWvertiPeepoSalute tag me if you need more opinions

lethal thicket

thanks again for all the help

Well, in terms of night-time use, red is actually better for the eyes.

It's what we use in the field.

Little red-filter flips down over the flashlight lense so we don't blind the piss out of ourselves or flare someone's nods.

So, I would probably go with red... if I believed in RGB.

that is like heaven

storm osprey

the motherboard is a good deal, but not worth it

it was just in the same frameof the other deals

supple bane

the biggest mistake you can make when looking for a new pc imo is not knowing your stuff

torn cliff
#

I don't know my stuff

storm osprey
#

ask

#

and ask the people that are trying to help you with YOUR build

supple bane
#

i am a prime example of that, although my pc is good enough to play any game out there, i could have got so much more for the money

storm osprey
#

^

#

a lot of people put shit together that costs them 100 or even 200 dollars more than it could have for the same performance

#

ive seen a lot of builds that had a nice ass cpu, and a bad gpu

#

for gaming, youd probably want it the other way around

#

even though both are important

supple bane
#

well depends on the game

#

i mean, my cpu is like 180 pound, the 2600x for example is the exact same price and is like wayy better in every aspect

#

especially core count, only having 4 cores wont cut it for much longer

storm osprey
#

most games are gpu heavy though

#

wat cpu did you get?

supple bane
#

i5 7400

#

im not saying that it isnt powerful, i just could have got more for the money

jade tangle
#

i have a 6700k and an rx 480 looking for an upgrade but i dont know what i want. I want to save for new threadripper but on the other hand i feel like 6700k is enough. Should prolly get a new gpu first.

#

i want to get the rx vega 64

storm osprey
#

7400 is good if you dont plan to OC

supple bane
#

what are your aims with your pc ?

#

like what do you want it to be able to do ?

storm osprey
#

6700k is definitely good enough for just about anything

supple bane
#

thats what im saying

storm osprey
#

480 though is definitely budget

supple bane
#

i agree with nyphon, a gpu upgrade would be see much more gain

#

what is your budget ?

jade tangle
#

like 700 including new mobo

storm osprey
#

(im still gaming on a 4790 non k)

you dont need new mobo

i need a new mobo because my current is trash

not 15%

jade tangle

supple bane
#

oh you really dont need to get a new mobo just for ram speeds

steep gust
#

Unless you are pushing really high refresh rates, you might gain a few FPS at best with faster RAM

supple bane
#

a thousand mhz is such a small gain it isnt worth it

steep gust
#

its actually only 500mhz

jade tangle
#

well ok other reason is that its not a z board and i cant overclock my 6700k

steep gust
#

Also it will support up to 2666mhz even if its locked

storm osprey
#

good luck getting a well priced new 6th gen mb

steep gust

Because Intel CPUs support up to 2666 stock

eh a Z270 Apex is like $150 and its the best Z270 board

oh wait the 6700k has ass memory support and a bad IMC

storm osprey

@jade tangle imo right now, you should get a good gpu, and wait for zen 2 if you can

i dont see a case where you NEED to OC your cpu

If your budget for that is 700 - motherboard a 2070 would fall right in that region

waiting is also good

i play bf on everything low so i can use my 144hz monitor

if you have a radiator, it may seem that way in the first hour but after a 2 hour game session, all the water in the cooler will be heated up at that point and it will be spitting out hot air

so after I wait 16 hours for it to verify on my multi GB/s drive it will download 12.71 at 6mb/s

that makes no sense that it wouldnt take advantage of my full read/write speed for verification

meh, not if you are on a budget

but on the green team i mean, the 1060 is still a very valid option

maybe not so much the 3gb

but the 6gb is ok

3gb is still good for like 95% of games

the only game my 1060 3gb suffers on so far is rise of the tomb raider

the only game i suffer with is ark... but that does say much tbh

storm osprey

lol yea

3gb isnt nearly as bad as a lot of people make it sound

its just for the price, you might as well as get 6gb and not worry about it

the 3gb wont be good enough soon tho

3gb of ram wont cut it for the next generation of games which are on the horizon

i mean, im not recommending 3gb

but if someone already has it, im not cringing

3GB on the 1060 wasn't a great idea, should of been 4GB

I think the 3GB model was made for Esports

storm osprey

i use it for my local games and indie games

#

while 4gb would have been obviously better

its kind of hard to run into problems with it personally

i think that the 5gb should have been released globally instead of just in china

that would have been a great balance

why does bfv crash whenever i try to use dx12

#

I don't even know what it does

steep gust
#

Its a different rendering API

odd mountain
#

guys i need help for bf5 settings

storm osprey
#

dx12 is better for me

odd mountain
#

my game crash all the time

finite torrent
#

Good help nyphon

odd mountain
#

i7 4770k,16GB RAM and gtx 1080 /high settings

steep gust
#

drop any non-graphical settings

#

make sure your overclocks are stable

odd mountain
#

there is no OC

#

one thing i found out is virtual memory load 99.9%

#

then my game crash

steep gust
#

are you running a bunch of other stuff in the background?

#

If you have like 100 chrome tabs you could be running out of memory

odd mountain
#

nothing...sometimes there is no crash for days

steep gust
#

and if you did anything to your pagefile, go back to default

odd mountain
#

all is default,i have good fps in game

#

...and then - desktop

#

on it's chaty and Java orbBruh

The I7 4790k is really bottlenecking this game specifically. It’s still a good cpu if you want to try for medium settings but a 6th gen I5 or a Rysen 5 2000 really is more optimized for a game like this

latent light
#

you mean 8th gen i5

steep gust
#

yeah the 6600k was a 4c 4t

@odd mountain wats ur max commit size and usage? If it reaches about 2gb near its peak, increase swap size

grizzled apex
#

Yeah but A better cpu with slower ram is worse than a slightly worse CPU with faster ram

#

there is a huge difference in speeds between DDR4 and DDR3

#

Not just in clock speeds

#

In general

steep gust
#

The best DDR3 is like the worst DDR4

grizzled apex
#

True but you put that into perspective is more of a value

#

For a DDR4 board

#

Than a DDR3 bird

Board

#

Slower ram on a better CPU can defs be better depending on the situation and what you're running

I'm actually keen to watch that when I get home

Yo

supple bane
#

hello

supple bane
#

for 40 more you could get a 1060 6gb which will massively out perform the 560

#

and the 1060 3gb is only 160 and will still outperform the 560

storm osprey
#

570 best bang for buck gpu basically

#

and you get 2 games free with one right now

#

imo, good luck getting a better deal than that

#

i would literally leave my case open or cut a slot in the side of my case to fit a cheaper 570 over a 560

prime jasper
#

Oh sorry I didn’t mention I’m looking for a low profile gpu

supple bane
#

what does that even mean ?

#

you mean the short ones ?

prime jasper
#

No

#

one that fits in a SFF most likely

#

They don’t have a 6/8 power connecters

storm osprey
#

you did mention low profile, but i kinda ignored that

#

so youre more worried about it not needing a power adapter?

#

doesnt 1050ti not require power cables, cost around the same, and get better fps?

prime jasper
#

Hmm il look in to it

#

1050 it 600 Nis

#

Better deal then ever

storm osprey
#

ohh youre not NA?
