#

the 10 extra fps isnt worth another 70 bucks

#

and in some games, the 1660ti will get better performance anyway

storm osprey
#

unless you want to game at 1080p 144hz with higher settings and want to make sure youll hit your fps, i would get the 1660ti instead

#

math wise, the performance increase doesnt justify the cost increase

sour ivy
#

I wanted to get 144hz

#

But I'm not expecting 144fps on high in bfv

storm osprey
#

1660ti and 2060 are both good 144hz gpus

sour ivy
#

I'm expecting 144 consistent in r6 tho

latent light
#

1660ti not so much

sour ivy
#

Is that realistic?

latent light
#

at low settings maybe

storm osprey
#

2060 is slightly better for a moderate price increase

latent light
#

a game like AC odyssey, you won't even hit 100 fps at lowest settings

sour ivy
#

R6 should get 144 fps at like medium

#

?

storm osprey
#

watch that and see what games you want certain performance at

sour ivy
#

Aight

storm osprey
#

granted idk your other specs

#

its really a pick what you want scenario imo, i would personally probably get the 1660ti, but if you or anyone else got the 2060 i wouldnt feel they wasted their money

sour ivy
#

2600x @storm osprey

#

I have a 1060 rn

storm osprey
#

just looking at that (assuming you have the 1060 6gb) the 1660ti doesnt look like a worthwhile upgrade

#

damnit, thats the a non ti video

#

seems like a slight upgrade, i would probably go 2060 in that case if you really want to upgrade

sour ivy
#

Aight

#

Thanks nyphon

#

@storm osprey ok so I just get terrible performance, what's the best way to analyze what's going on

#

Because I've gotten new everything other than psu

#

So either I'm tripping or the psu is causing lag

storm osprey
#

its every game?

#

or just bfv?

sour ivy
#

Every game I feel like it's worse than it should he

steep gust
#

uh well a PSU won't cause lag

sour ivy
#

Be*

steep gust
#

Most likely you have something running in the background

sour ivy
#

Its impossible?

supple bane
#

maybe you are thermal throttling ? do you have good cooling ?

sour ivy
#

No thermal throttling

steep gust
#

Its impossible for your PSU to cause lag

#

Its entirely job is to literally covert AC to DC

#

and if that fails, your system shuts off

storm osprey
#

what happens if he doesnt have enough wattage?

supple bane
#

he crashes

storm osprey
#

theres no fine line where hes just not getting the performance he should?

steep gust
#

it trips OCP

#

and shuts off

#

If your system draws 400w on a 350w PSU, it might handle that short term until it hits OTP or OCP (random numbers)

#

Which just means it powers off

sour ivy
#

Is there a way to check if my shit is getting enough voltage

steep gust
#

What is your PSU?

sour ivy
#

Erh

#

I dont know it off the top of my head

#

Its corsair or evga

#

Like 550 w or 500

#

It's like 4 years old max

supple bane
#

just open your case and it will usually have the name plastered over the side

steep gust
#

maybe on the rear

sour ivy
#

Yeah when I get home I'll lyn

#

Tbh I hope it's an issue with the psu

supple bane
#

i doubt it

#

how old are the rest of your components ?

sour ivy
#

1060 is like 1.5 years old

#

Ryzen 2600x is a year old

#

Not even a year

#

Mobo same age as cpu

#

And my ram is 3 or 4 years old

supple bane
#

ye your componets wont age just yet

steep gust
#

Have you tried a clean windows install?

steep gust
#

use that

#

are you using displayport?

static lodge
#

yes, BUT i just fixed it. i never selected the resolution that had the high hertz stamp on it. my bad

latent light
#

can a PSU overheat from high usage

#

like running a 400W system on a 500W psu

steep gust
#

Its not suppose to

#

but yes

#

efficiency also goes to ass at higher temps, so its a positive feedback

latent light
#

I like to buy PSUs that have 200W over what my system pulls

#

I got 650W now, it would shut off underload back when I had an overclocked Fx-8350 and GTX 770

#

now it's fine with my R5 1600 and RX 580

steep gust
#

And 8350 and 770 shouldn't draw 650w WoahThink

latent light
#

8350 was at 4.7 GHz

steep gust
#

9590 says high

latent light
#

I had a beefy air cooler for my 8350

#

think it was 6 or 8 heatpipes

#

dual fans

#

lol I think this is the exact heatsink design that cooler master used for ryzen stock coolers

#

I like those kind of coolers because VRM airflow

#

did you see that dual pump cooler

#

at computex

steep gust
#

I love patents choking the market

latent light
#

whose patents

#

Intels?

#

or cooler brands

#

all I want is a low profile cooler with a copper vapor chamber

#

I like this cooler but it's only on par with the Wraith Prism iirc

#

this one too

steep gust
#

AseTek

#

and the pump / waterblock AIO patent issues

latent light
#

this happened in 2017

steep gust
#

For Europe

#

Which is why their are brands that aren't selling their AIOs in the US

#

Because the patent is based in the USA

latent light
#

AseTek supplies liquid coolers for Corsair and NZXT

steep gust
#

and a bunch of other companies

latent light
#

CM makes their own stuff

#

this timestamp is the cooler I want

steep gust
#

custom loop is my next cooler

#

way more efficient over time

#

just buy a new waterblock for a new socket, instead of a brand new cooler

prime jasper
#

I dont trust custom cooling loops

#

My biggest fear is leaks D:

#

I'd rather just get a prebuilt CPU cooler and a Hybrid GPU model

latent light
#

just make a custom loop with rubber tubes

#

check over everything

little comet
#

liquid coolers are only really needed for really high end graphics cards right?

prime jasper
#

the last time i using cooling loops,its kill my vga,so i stay away from custom liquid

violet plank
#

there is no real need for liquid cooling,learn basic thermodynamics,e.g correct airflow of your case and you are good

#

get a noctua d15 or likewise and you outperform pretty much any aio watercooler

#

for custom loops,it's about showcase,little bit better oc,if you wanna hardcore oc you go other ways haHAA

#

and custom loops are expensive af,and ofc the maintenance,keeping the loop clean,enough liquid and so on

#

i used to build custom loops as a hobby,huge and expensive timesink

jade tangle
steep gust
#

@prime jasper That sounds entirely your fault 🤔

#

@little comet Heatpipes have a physical limit (thanks thermodynamics), and so more and more GPUs will be hybrid as power draw goes

#

AIOs tie a D15 because of shit pumps, bad blocks, and not great radiators

A custom loop can easily keep a 300-400w GPU at 30-40C

#

with GPU Boost and a custom BIOS, I could probably get another 100mhz out of my GPU if I dropped 30C off load temp

prime jasper
#

@violet plank The more heat a CPU has is a factor in CPU life depreciation. Liquid cooling not only helps this, but liquid cooling also allows for the transfer of heat more efficiently. Also what Betrayed said, heatpipes have a physical limit.

I'd personally have my CPU running at 55C under load than 70-80C.

steep gust
#

IIRC its around 300-350W that heatpipes shit themselves and just become copper tubes in terms of heat transfer NotLikeThis

prime jasper
#

lmao

violet plank
#

@prime jasper true about custom loops,but not about aio,never seen a cpu under full all core load run cooler on an aio vs high end air cooler.my 7700k for example runs on 4.8ghz all core max temp 55-60C,isolated case,but perfectly optimized airflow.in the same system is a 1080ti running @ 2.1ghz around 60-65C under full load.whait aio do better than air coolers is getting a bit better idle temps.

latent light
#

Custom loop would seem to make your GPU live longer too because the VRMs are getting nice cool waterflow

violet plank
#

i've never seen a gpu or cpu die cause of heat (within specifications)

#

not even of old age

latent light
#

I've seen a GPU die because of VRMs overheating

violet plank
#

brand ?`

latent light
#

It was a GTX 480

violet plank
#

evga ? haHAA

#

what i see a lot causing heating problems,thus system problems is fucking dirty rigs,either by smoking or/and dust,never ever getting cleaned,those rigs die a lot after a year or so under heavy use

#

disgusting af if you open such thing btw NotLikeThis

#

at the end it's a question of money and time you are willing to spend,i'm past that,specially the time thing

#

i sold my last custom loop i made for 6k$,but the time i spent building that thing...

#

once i had a psu that literally exploded (my guess faulty fuse),that killed the mb,cpu and gpu with it,for some reasons the ram survived LUL

#

@steep gust even lower,don't think that there is any high end air cooler that can go past 250W,or at least none that fits in any standard case lul

jade tangle
#

will there be eatx boards for 570 chipset?=

latent light
#

yes

#

well I think there was one shown by Asus

#

and there's the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme which is EATX but costs like $500-600

jade tangle
#

what do those 500-600 boards do that makes them so expensive

latent light
#

features I guess

#

and maybe top quality?

steep gust
#

Branding

#

X570 as a whole cost more than it should

#

And plenty of older hardware can randomly just die

You can expect the same of cheap Pascal GPUs without VRM heatsinks in the coming decade

earnest marten
#

Anyone has a GTX 1070Ti ? Because I do and I'm only getting an average of 70fps with everything on low, I feel like it's not normal

latent light
#

what CPU do you have

earnest marten
#

Intel i5 6500

latent light
#

there's the problem

#

you need more than 4 cores for higher fps in BFV

#

that CPU is a bottleneck

jade tangle
#

haha

earnest marten
#

Ah

#

Well now I know why

latent light
#

also, putting graphic settings on low just puts more load onto your CPU

earnest marten
#

Really ?

latent light
#

yep, low settings will cause more stutter on that CPU

#

although your i5-6500 is limiting your 1070Ti to begin with

earnest marten
#

Do you know the reason why low graphics would produce more load ?

latent light
#

need at least a i5-8400/Ryzen 5 2600 or better to get 100+ fps

earnest marten
#

That doesn't really make sense to me

latent light
#

low settings takes the work off the GPU and puts it on the CPU

#

and your CPU is already a bottleneck to begin with, no matter what settings you play with lol

earnest marten
#

I know what i need to buy next then

jade tangle
#

yes

#

no intel cpu

earnest marten
#

Thanks for the explanation

#

Exactly

#

The new ryzens

latent light
#

3rd gen Ryzen is coming out next month

#

should wait for that

#

July 7th

earnest marten
#

I was saving money for it anyway

jade tangle
#

i want threadripper

latent light
#

also, what ram do you have and is it single or dual channel

earnest marten
#

I have 4x4

#

At 2400MHz

latent light
#

hmm

#

I'm not exactly sure but 2x8 would be better than 4x4

#

maybe not in all cases

earnest marten
#

I had originally 2x4, but last year I bought 2 more so I have 16GB in total

latent light
#

4x4 has higher average but worse 0.1% lows

#

which indicates more frametime spikes

#

also known as stutter

#

but that could be margin of error

jade tangle
#

i still have 2x4 ram

#

but i also have shit everything so it doesnt matter

latent light
jade tangle
#

hope i have enough saved up for that 3900x and a decent mainboard

latent light
#

you don't really need the 3900X, 3700X is perfectly enough

jade tangle
#

also need a new gpu

#

i want it doh

latent light
#

I'm getting the 3600

#

got a 1600 now

jade tangle
#

i dont know i want to go full amd. but i dont think the navi 7 is worth the money

earnest marten
#

AMD GPUs aren't that good

#

Especially with DX games

latent light
#

AMD GPUs do beat Nvidia equivalent in BFV

#

Vega 56 beats GTX 1080

#

RX 580 beats GTX 1660

earnest marten
#

I didn't know about BFV

latent light
#

Frostbite loves AMD GPUs

earnest marten
#

That's cool

jade tangle
#

i have rx 480

#

but i need those high fps so it doesnt suffice

latent light
#

I get 80 fps average on ultra settings with my RX 580

jade tangle
#

i need stable 144hz

#

fps

latent light
#

I get close to 130 fps on low

#

I got my RX 580 for like $180 and 2 games came with it

earnest marten
#

Having 144fps in BF would be great

#

I can't wait

latent light
#

1070Ti gets around 90-95 fps average on ultra settings

#

when paired with a good CPU and RAM

earnest marten
#

I doesn't bother me to play on low

jade tangle
#

yeah i play every game on low too

earnest marten
#

All I want is maximum smoothness

#

AKA 144fps

latent light
#

maximum smoothness would be 240 fps

earnest marten
#

Yeah but I "only" have a 144Hz monitor

jade tangle
#

can you get 240 fps in bf5?

latent light
#

with 2080Ti overclocked maybe

earnest marten
#

Maybe if you play in 480p

jade tangle
#

that would be next level

earnest marten
#

Or with the RTX titan

jade tangle
#

4x 2080 ti and threadripper

latent light
#

tbh there isn't a big difference between 144 and 240, I think even 60 to 75 would be a more noticeable margin than 144 to 240

earnest marten
#

I'd love to test the difference, can someone by me a 240Hz monitor to see Kappa

jade tangle
#

its an ips panel so i dont know how much latency that has

#

but also prolly has great colours

latent light
#

60hz is 16.7ms per frame
75hz is 13.3ms per frame
144hz is 6.9ms per frame
240hz is 4.2ms per frame

earnest marten
#

Yeah that's not much of a difference

latent light
#

going from 60 to 144 is bigger than going from 30 to 60

#

it takes 13ms for an image to reach the brain and takes roughly an additional 150-250ms for someone to take a physical action to interact with said image

#

reaction time varies

steep gust
#

@jade tangle monitor response time is a marketing term

Since it's never accurate to real world conditions

violet plank
#

i doubt you can even get a stable 144 fps with at 2080ti all the times in low settings?

#

i get 144 fps with at 1080ti when no much is going on,but when there is like a shitload of action happening at a very small spot it drops to 120 and sometimes even down to 90

#

curious how the new rx5700 will perform

#

too bad i got a gsync monitor :/

#

didn't knew frostbite favors amd cards,was that always that way ?

#

forgot to mention i always play in 1440p,guess in 1080p 144 should be easy

Not going to lie, I need a new mouse and I've been thinking of going wireless with that one.

So you replace your old router

#

and that is it

supple bane
#

But like

steep gust
#

If you don't have a modem

#

get one

#

Since modem / router combos suck ass

jade tangle
#

get a fritzbox

supple bane
#

ok.

#

How would I go about setting up a modem

#

Ik what they do,

#

Just don’t know how you use them, like do you have to use that AND a router

steep gust
#

Most stuff is plug in and play

#

unless you are buying enterprise gear

jade tangle
#

get a router

#

i never heard someone say get a modem lmao

#

thats 1980

steep gust
#

uh

supple bane
#

Don’t start arguing now haha

steep gust
#

You do know what you plug a router into?

supple bane
#

I still have more questions

#

..: I get that that router can do all special stuff like assign channels and shit, but what actually gives it the speed?

#

like, what hardware wise does that differ to my current router

#

And do I still just pay the company I pay for internet like usual even tho I eint using their router anymore

steep gust
#

You have firmware differences and then physical hardware differences

#

Firmware is the stuff like assigning channels

#

and speed is mostly dependent on what version of WiFi it supports and the hardware inside of it

supple bane
#

yup I get that

steep gust
#

If you are going to ask "how" i say black magic

supple bane
#

so is it the hardware inside that gives it the extra 900 megabit in my case?

steep gust
#

yes

#

but that is theoretical maxes

#

You will never see that unless you want to pay a fortune to your ISP

supple bane
#

well then, what will I see?

#

because that’s what I assumed

#

My internet can only be as fast as my line lets it be

#

So I would have to upgrade with the company I pay, not just as simple as buy a new router

steep gust
#

Buying a new router if your's is super dated has its own advantages

supple bane
#

well mine isn’t out dated and isn’t slow in anyway

steep gust
#

Security, better channel usage and other fancy networking shit

supple bane
#

So I would see a very small improvement from the better channel stuffs then?

#

I’m guessing maybe an extra 50 mega bits or something along those lines?

steep gust
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

jade tangle
#

QoS stuff

latent light
#

apparently there won't be PCIe 4.0 on B550

steep gust
#

PCIe 4.0 is expensive

#

Makes no sense for the budget chipset to have it

latent light
#

tbh, B550 hasn't even been shown yet

#

what if it doesn't exist

prime jasper
#

being poor

latent light
#

if they don't have 500 series motherboards under $100, it will kill them

prime jasper
#

please god, no more a320 trash

steep gust
#

good luck making a good VRM under $100 for Zen 2

#

The current draw is probably going to be insane

latent light
#

What makes the current high

#

Most people who buy a ~$100 motherboard also buy a ~$200 CPU

steep gust
#

high core counts

#

and low operating voltage

#

If you draw 200-300w yet only have a core voltage of 1.1v

That means something like 200 amps

latent light
#

I'm gonna laugh at the people who buy the 3900X for their X370 and B450 motherboard

#

I'm going to get the 3600

#

Kinda subjective tbh, B450 could handle it stock

#

so what are the voltage limitations to 7nm

#

1.35v?

steep gust
#

We don't know until we have access to them or AMD says

long sphinx
#

so which x570 board did you guys find the best?

steep gust

I'll just ping Buildzoid randomly in the server I'm in with him he loves that Kappa

#

guys do you think e3 1230 v5 cpu can still handle bfv or not? since this cpu with a 2070 cant make the frames higher than 50 in 2k. Is it about time to upgrade my cpu?

supple bane
#

its not worth it.

#

its way too expensive for gaming

#

a 2600x will out perform it in every situation, and it much cheaper

#

oh wait

#

do you already have the e3?

#

or do you want to upgrade to the e3?

silver ravine
#

@supple bane i already have it, i bought it in 2016, but i dont think it can make the frames higher than 60 now for bfv, do u think it's the limitation of e3 that make the frames so low?

supple bane
#

yes

#

no doubt about it

just wait until july 7th and get the ryzen 5 3600

#

well actually

what would you budget be for an upgrade ?

silver ravine
#

ummm,im not sure yet ,maybe $350-400 for the cpu?

so you just need a new motherboard and cpu then.

jade tangle
#

smol mainboards are cute

silver ravine
#

it's like buying a brand new pc lol

supple bane
#

well apart from the new case, ram, psu, gpu, drives, coolers, fans, cables... yes it is a new pc

silver ravine
#

cant imagine the lowest requirement for gaming in battlefield changes so fast

supple bane
#

!specs

#

oh fok

#

forgot i cant do that

silver ravine
#

lol

supple bane
#

and thats a decent mobo and cpu

#

the 2070 and 2700x will go nicely together

silver ravine
#

that's neat, it's time to save money for a 3700x maybe

Imagine seeing Intel 10nm before you die haHAA

Is 70$ cheap for 16gb DDR4 ram from Corsair?

earnest marten
#

Yes

#

I bought mine for 150€

grizzled apex
#

Sweet. I’m planning on driving up to microcenter soon

#

Rysen 2600, asrock AB450 pro4 and that ram for under 300$

steep gust
#

There is a lot more than just wattage in terms of PSU haHAA

supple bane
#

well what other factors could mean that that psu wasnt suitable ?

long sphinx
#

#

12v rail

steep gust
#

OCP, actually being able to supply rated wattage, OTP, OVP, and other protections

prime jasper
#

again .. isn't like 2 kw what a small motorbike puts out?

steep gust
#

well one hp is like 700w IIRC so

swift eagle
#

guys 350w psu will be good for 1660ti and ryzen 3600?

supple bane
#

ye sure if you have a fire extinguisher and dont live in a 10 mile radius of any other buildings that contain fuel or valuables.

#

in other words

#

no

swift eagle
#

someone said 550w will be ok

#

it will be?

supple bane
#

yes

swift eagle
#

btw its good idea to change ssd to m2?

#

i want evo 970 500GB

#

and now have only ssd 60GB

supple bane
#

if your motherboard supports it, then yes

swift eagle
#

im gonna get Tomahawk B450 or any msi

#

need to upgrade fast Xd

#

i got bf5 on christmas and still didnt played it bcs of pc

supple bane
#

just make sure that the motherboard you get has an m.2 slot

swift eagle
#

im gonna check

#

it even have 2 slots

#

and one more

#

there is 25$ discount if i buy the 2600 and this motherboard

#

and i will get 2 games for 50$ each

#

and i should wait for 3600 or buy this one

supple bane
#

wait for the 3600

swift eagle
#

ye there propably would be even better discount for 3600 at premier

latent light
#

@swift eagle you can get a 1TB SATA SSD for the same price as a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD

#

so it's either more SSD storage or compact design

prime jasper
#

Guys is the RX 580 nitro plus any good

steep gust
#

@swift eagle 350w is more than enough

Its more of any 350w PSU isn't really going to be good

#

970 evo is not worth the cost when I can buy a similar performing drive with double the capacity for less

latent light
#

Ryzen 5 3600 + 1660Ti, I recommend a 450W PSU at minimum

steep gust
#

We have no numbers of power draw of a 3600

latent light
#

65W

#

on AMD's website

steep gust
#

TDP =/= power draw

latent light
#

although it doesn't make sense why it would have the same TDP rating as the 8-core 4.4 GHz 3700X

steep gust
#

TDP is entirely a cooler spec

#

because TDP is also based on base clocks not boost

latent light
#

I thought it was base clock for Intel and AMD uses some math formula to get their TDP

steep gust
#

yeah I can buy a EX920 1TB for $130

Get similar performance to a $217 970 evo 1TB

#

Both Intel and AMD has worthless TDP ratings anyways

prime jasper
#

My question

latent light
#

the 9900K consumes 180 watts on boost clock

supple bane
#

it doesnt consume that, it devourers it

how much will x570 mobo cost?

if it is yellow you are on the right tracks

latent light
#

aren't sleeper builds done in old cases

supple bane
#

yes

#

my point exactly

#

old cases tend to have a yellow tint

latent light
#

cases like this

steep gust
#

Sleeper builds can be done in a lot of stuff

#

The yellow tint is because of the cheap plastic

supple bane

which makes mods hard

"Pre-X570 boards will not support PCIe Gen 4. There's no guarantee that older motherboards can reliably run the more stringent signaling requirements of Gen4, and we simply cannot have a mix of "yes, no, maybe" in the market for all the older motherboards. The potential for confusion is too high. When final BIOSes are released for 3rd Gen Ryzen (AGESA 1000+), Gen4 will not be an option anymore. We wish we could've enabled this backwards, but the risk is too great."

Hi im curious as to how well my pc might handle bf1 as i have a gaming laptop so definitely not even close to the best in the world, but the pc is a dell inspirion 7577 with a nvidia geforce gtx 1060 max q and a intel quad core i5 that is 7th gen. The main problem im worried about is either not having enough fps or overheating, also i dont if this is the right place to put this.

it should be good for 1080p60, maybe not maxed out though

im having audio cut out all of a sudden, i use a soundblaster z soundcard that i have had for probably 4 years now, i updated absolutely everything, took everything out and reseated it, cleaned out my system, ran troubleshooting, etc
still happens, ive read online that soundblaster soundcards can get hot and cause cut out, dont know a way of checking my soundcard thermals alone or what is even bad
(its not headphones i swapped out between 3 pairs)

prime jasper
#

drivers?

jade tangle
#

doesnt you mobo have audio ports?

supple bane
#

ye, check to make sure that it is the sound card causing the issue,

molten bramble
#

Did you disable the on-board audio?

storm osprey
#

on board audio disabled, might have to check that again if windows did an update

#

i updated all drivers

molten bramble
#

I have had devices re-enabled from a Windows update before, entirely plausible.

storm osprey

i know a windows updated turned on onboard before, but when it did that the soundblaster card just wasnt working at all until i disabled onboard and put soundblaster as default

and they are supposed to be disabled

jade tangle
#

well are you sure the soundcard isnt broken?

well now i gotta see if onboard got turned on somehow, if thats not the problem im gonna guess the card itself is messing up

remove any overclocks

do you have an OC applied?

try the other dx from the one you are using

no overclocks and all actual drivers

i have try to change dx, but nothing happens....once a time i could play for hours

it is most likely just bf being dumb

like i said

it is having issues lately

just a waiting game for them to fix it

thats really bad...when you not have the chance to play a game (full price) with a recommend system

supple bane

tell me about it

its shocking in fact

#

dice was rushed to make this game

prime jasper

you can try updating to the latest windows 10 build

So

Probably $6000-7000

supple bane
#

why is it worth so much you ask ?

#

you can use animojis

steep gust

Because the supply for the 3175X is tiny and its a halo product

I know someone who had one and getting a replacement because his was doa was hard

well i have no idea what that thing is, so im going with the theory that its a cheese grater

The motherboard on the right is currently the one for the 3175X

Seems like the afterburner card is a stand-alone encoding/decoding card, freeing up the CPU/GPU.

you can't make a motherboard support PCIe 4.0 with just a firmware update

@latent light yes you can

The issue is that not every motherboard has the tolerances for PCIe 4.0

"signal integrity" and PCIe 4.0 is not just a firmware update, the traces on the board have to support a minimum amount of specs

@steep gust Funny thing If they did enable PCIe 4.0 on previous gen motherboards, and customers started experiencing random crashes and instability, they'd blame AMD and/or the board manufacturers for poor products. You can have PCIe 4.0 work on 3.0 supported boards but it will not have the prolonged integrity to handle it.

can someone send me a video on how to download bf1 on pc and a link to the best place to buy it ? im super paranoid ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ive never downloaded a game that wasnt free before

theres alot less games tho

no battlefield isnt free the launcher is

it says windows 7 OR LATER

prime jasper
#

i once got 6 kills with the rifle grenade

#

it was epic

#

oh derp

supple bane
#

once you have downloaded it, go to a supermarket, and get an origin top up voucher, and then enter the code on that voucher and buy bf 1.

prime jasper
#

whats a top up voucher out of curiousity ?

supple bane
#

you buy those. and they have a code on the back, you enter that code into origin, and it gives you the amount of money that is on the front, so in that case you will have 25 pound in your wallet

prime jasper
#

allright

#

Its a origin giftcard

the tldr

does bf1 have tax

in terms of

would i be better buying a 50$ card or

is this the same thing

yes

ok thank you guys very much for your help

supple bane
#

just get it off origin

#

you can put paypal and stuff like that in if you want

that also works

#

credit cards work too

prime jasper

would i still get the whole crates and all the dlcs and premium etc

#

if bought off origin

supple bane
#

if you get the premium pass for bf 1 yes

#

there is base game, and for the dlc bf 1 has something called premium pass, you have to buy that

prime jasper

oh from that website u get all the dlcs premium etc for 40$

how much is it off oriign

it might be cheaper actually

thatd be nice

You're looking at Origin Premier or whatever it's called however.

Yeah. Well partly why I asked about that Asus monitor

PG279Q is still very viable

#

though it probably has more competition now than a few years ago

@lofty light system on chip

Its everything that isn't the core, ie the IMC

#

@prime jasper Everyone has been having issues in BFV since mecury went live

I lost like 30fps (went from 140-150fps average on ultra to 120fps on low) from the update NotLikeThis

prime jasper
#

I gained fps

#

But

#

I only gained from using 4 sticks

#

Not 2 sticks

#

Well actually

#

I gained little with 2 sticks

#

@steep gust also the people that reported to me were all 4 cores

#

Everyone else was fine

#

Ryzen 6 cores should also be effected aswell

#

I'm on an 8600k

#

Let me apply my overclock again and see, zero overclock should not have dropped 30%

#

Running stock

#

?

steep gust
#

ye I was cus fresh windows install that has been stripped now

prime jasper
#

That's why

#

Try to pull out of 4.8ghz and try again. Bet you 20$ PayPal it will be near fixed

steep gust
#

DICE you can fail me

#

Its updating right now

prime jasper
#

It's also reported bfv use's more cores

#

If so that should be total 14 cores bfv can use now effectively

#

If you have the right GPU

#

This poor 9600k is 100%

#

The 3900x in bfv is going to be brutal. Just that dual channel sucks

The 750ti is hitting 95C

which if its using stock thermal paste, means it needs replaced

I use Kryonaut which is some of the best but it cost way too much to use on a 750ti
