its literally on the box lol

[mild bough]

didnt see 😂

[latent light]

Intel may make a 5 core CPU

[mild bough]

Is a 5 core CPU an I5 cpu?

[supple bane]

No

[mild bough]

What is cores then?

[supple bane]

a core is the part of the cpu that receives the instructions performs the calculations

the more cores you have, the more caculations you can do

[violet plank]

lmao that vid from der8auer,are ppl really that stupid to fall for that intel bullshit ?

marketing

and they should rename the upcoming 9900KS to Pentium 4 second gen

[mild bough]

Oh

So a 1000 core cpu would be god like??

[supple bane]

no because no material we know wouldnt melt

if you made that it would take so much voltage and wattage and then you would need insane cooling

so it wouldnt be that great

[mild bough]

You know nuclear reactors

They have that insane cooling, we could add that...

[supple bane]

you do realise

a nuclear reactor is cooler the exact way a pc is cooled

[mild bough]

But its huge

[supple bane]

yes and so is the nuclear reactor

[mild bough]

But havent you seen those pools that stuff gets stored in which is like super radio active

[supple bane]

you are spreading that heat across a massive area

where as in a cpu you are confining all that heat into a tiny area

[mild bough]

oh

lets have windmills around the 1000 core cpu

orrr

[supple bane]

how would a wind mill keep a cpu cool ?

[mild bough]

If you live in antarctica, you could just have the cpu outside

On a 4k monitor, is the pixels much smaller compared to 1920x1080?

[supple bane]

in theory yeah

there is more of them

[mild bough]

Oh ok

So a 24" monitor would look better than a 62" monitor

[supple bane]

yes

that is true

[mild bough]

Like on airports, those monitors are huge

But the pixel is as big as your thumb

[supple bane]

there is something called ppi

[mild bough]

ppi?

[supple bane]

"pixles per inch"

[mild bough]

oh

[supple bane]

which is self explanatory

[mild bough]

yup

wait

is it pixel, or pixle

[supple bane]

idk lol

pixel i think

[mild bough]

lol

[supple bane]

for example

a 24" 1080p screen has 92 pixels per inch

[mild bough]

How do you know that?

Can you calculate it by dividing 24" by 1080?

[supple bane]

a 62" 1080p would have 36 pixels per inch

http://dpi.lv/#24″

my phone has around 500 pixles per inch

[mild bough]

daamn

[supple bane]

because its 1080p in such a tiny area

[mild bough]

yeah

you know the game vigor?

[supple bane]

no

[mild bough]

ok nvm then lol

[latent light]

1080p on any monitor bigger than 24" looks disgusting

[mild bough]

hey

dont be mean to my 27" monitor

it is actually crying rn

[supple bane]

the best is 1440p 27" 144hz

thats the best price to performance monitor imo

but my dream monitor is 27" 4k, 144hz, g-sync

[mild bough]

Yeah but that is like atleast 700$ if youre lucky

[prime jasper]

er...maybe where you are

[mild bough]

Is G-sync for nvidia gpu's or nvidia?

[prime jasper]

about 3-400 here

[supple bane]

yeah

[mild bough]

oh

idk really lol

[supple bane]

you would need to be really rich to get one of them

[mild bough]

but 4k 144hz 27" i can really agree that sounds like a dream my friend

[supple bane]

ermmm

its the best monitor you can get atm i think lol

[mild bough]

wow

[supple bane]

at 4k, 144hz is the highest refresh rate

[mild bough]

i went to norways most used component site

and that costs 2100$

nvm the cheapest is still 1000$

[supple bane]

send link ?

[mild bough]

[supple bane]

the first one isnt g-sync

[mild bough]

but anyways

It is hella expensive

[supple bane]

agreed

[mild bough]

Is the monitors in UK way cheaper?

[supple bane]

i can get a 4k monitor for 200 pound

but like

its 60hz

[mild bough]

rip

What sites do you recommend that is from UK?

[supple bane]

scan

[broken glen]

hmm

[supple bane]

https://www.scan.co.uk/

[mild bough]

I was starting to wonder why I got a furniture site, but it was scan.dk

ah rip i found a cool 4k monitor with freesync

but only 60hz 😭

If im gonna buy a new monitor it will proba be an used 4k 144hz monitor

not gonna waste many thousands on a great monitor

[prime jasper]

4k144?

thats....gonna cost ya

[mild bough]

yeah

[supple bane]

i wouldnt

a 2070 wouldnt push 144 fps at 4k

go with 1440p

[mild bough]

oh

yeah probably right there pal

And my friend with 3x 4k monitors with a gtx 960

[supple bane]

a 2080ti will just about handle 100 fps at 4k

[latent light]

a 2080Ti won't stay at 144 fps at even 1080p on all games

[mild bough]

What about 1660ti?

[supple bane]

what about it ?

[mild bough]

Is it a good gpu?

like for the price

[supple bane]

yeah

very good

it is one of the best price to performance cards out there

1070 performance for 300 pound

what can go wrong

[mild bough]

i dont like gpu's under 1080, because it feels kinda wrong

[supple bane]

what?

[mild bough]

1070 is an odd number so heck no

[supple bane]

you have a 2070

lol

hahah

[mild bough]

i know lol

[supple bane]

that made me laugh lol

[mild bough]

it drives me insane

i hate odd numbers

i am the guy that can only have the volume with pairs

[latent light]

you bought a 2070 only to have the 2070 Super come out for the same price and 20% more performance

[mild bough]

worth it

for the feeling of getting over 120fps in bfv

[prime jasper]

god knows how much more the super costs over there

[mild bough]

RTX 2080 super?

[latent light]

5700XT only costs $400 and gets higher performance than the 2080 in BF5 lol

[prime jasper]

no such thing as 2080 super

[mild bough]

really?

lol

[latent light]

there is

[prime jasper]

oh now?

crap

[latent light]

2080 Super came out couple weeks ago

only 5% more performance

[mild bough]

Is super better than ti?

[prime jasper]

thats right...no 2080ti super

[latent light]

not even close

Ti is still 25% faster than 2080 Super

[supple bane]

Nvidias naming scheme being sucky as per usual

[mild bough]

But i can say, no rtx 2080 in norway goes under 1000$

even the regular

[prime jasper]

ouch

[latent light]

well you do have a high tax

[mild bough]

yeah

lose lose situation

[latent light]

wait, $1000 with tax?

[mild bough]

idk but the rtx 2080 costs no cheaper than 1000$

[supple bane]

well he is 13 and getting paid like 17 bucks an hour so

he can't complain

[mild bough]

havent fully learned about taxes lol

[latent light]

I know the tax is 24% in finland

don't know about norway

[mild bough]

i think it is atleast 30/40%

[latent light]

tax here is only 7%

[mild bough]

Really depends on your loan

Where you live grim?

[latent light]

Texas

[mild bough]

Yeeee haaa, steak and women for diner right?

[latent light]

if I buy a 2070 for $500, only gotta pay $535 after tax

[mild bough]

haha

Is the BFV campaign cinematics made in blender?

[latent light]

the game engine itself I think but they used certain filters I think

[mild bough]

But I've seen many blender cinematics that were made by 1 guy and is looking way more realistic than BFV, why?

[storm osprey]

taxes in az are usually around 10%

[mild bough]

az = arizona?

[prime jasper]

yes

[mild bough]

auztralia

[storm osprey]

yea sorry i always forget people dont know abbreviations for US states

[mild bough]

[agile rain]

I recently got a laptop with a Ryzen 3500U and Vega 8 gpu and it's more powerful than my old FX8320 that I had before my 1600

Technology has come a long way

[mild bough]

yeah, are you a programmer?

[agile rain]

Me? Nope, video editor mostly

[mild bough]

oh ok

i feel like laptop people is either blender people or hacker people

[agile rain]

Well I wanted to have the flexibility to do stuff like editing and photoshop even while away from my desktop

[mild bough]

Yeah smart

It is always nice to be able to bring it around

[agile rain]

Yep. I tested it's premiere performance and for a laptop its very usuable

[mild bough]

Nice!

Do you use blender a lot?

[agile rain]

Nah, Im not really into 3d modeling

Ive only used it to render 3d for thumbnails

3d text*

[mild bough]

So you are like the photoshop man

Which edits sausages into peoples mouth and such?

[agile rain]

Well theoretically yes

[mild bough]

lol

[golden raft]

Just wondering if anyone uses a rtx 2070 super?

would love to know what fps you get on ultra while playing multiplayer

at 1440[

[scarlet rain]

Look at what a 2070 does then subtract like 10 or 15

@golden raft

[sour ivy]

Depends on cpu

[latent light]

why does downloading affect not only my download speed but also upload speed as well

[supple bane]

would there be a total bandwidth cap of both the download and the upload

so i just got bf4 and for some reason the game audio works fine through my headset but when squad chats it comes out of my speakers and not my headset, google hasnt been very helpful and there are no clear answers, anyone ever have this problem, im on pc

[vivid urchin]

Hi @crude gorge open mmsys.cpl on Windows. Check which device is set to the communications device, probably your PC Speakers. Right click your headphones and set them to communications device

[latent light]

does anyone know when MicroCenter does holiday sales

Hey I really have a strange bug. I just downloaded BF V and after the prologue it just says "thank you for reaching rank 50". So when i go on "dismiss" it just reappers again and again and it just wont go away. What can i do?

[mild bough]

Try restart your pc

or press bfv and press repair

[peak obsidian]

okay thank you

wait how do i repair it?

@mild bough

[mild bough]

When you press BFV in the library

You see that settings wheel

you press that, and it says repair.

did it work @peak obsidian

[peak obsidian]

sorry, i cant find any setting wheel

@mild bough

[daring granite]

Anyone having Very Bad Hit registration?

[latent light]

@prime jasper what you trying to play and how much you wanting to spend?

[prime jasper]

Well I want to play BF1 and Rainbow Six on it (PLus HOI4 but you know) and I'm willing to spend up to 200 \z4

though I will spend more if needed for a good PC

[latent light]

$200?

[prime jasper]

Yes

but if a good PC requires more i will d taht

[latent light]

gonna need at least $400 for an extreme budget PC lol

[prime jasper]

I'll go for $500 then

[latent light]

$200 gaming PC doesn't exist

[prime jasper]

My family is very poor and it is har dto get moeny so how will I get the money?

[latent light]

you would get a better gameplay experience with a PS4 than even a $300 PC

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RHtQ3b @prime jasper

this is about as cheap as you can get for a PC that can run BF1

and it will only run at about 40-50 fps on low settings

[prime jasper]

oh

hmm oke

[latent light]

but one cool thing is that it has upgradability

you could put a new graphics card in it in the future

[prime jasper]

oh

my old pc was stolen

i miss it

i had fun games on it

[latent light]

stolen wtf

[prime jasper]

my steam account was forever lost with it

[latent light]

you don't remember email or password?

[prime jasper]

Nope

It was some fake email i made

well i might remember

i think i remember oh wait

last year i got on it but all my games was gone

[latent light]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nh3sHh

[prime jasper]

hih?

huh

[latent light]

this PC is under $500 and will play on ultra settings 60+ fps

[prime jasper]

woah oke

is 60 good?

[latent light]

yeah it's 4x faster than that previous build,

but I'd still take the previous one because of how easy it is to upgrade

[prime jasper]

SO i should do the cheap one?

[latent light]

yeah will be easier to upgrade in the future

[prime jasper]

Oke

[prime jasper]

is bf 4 gonna run on my amd radeon 7470 HD?

[mild bough]

@prime jasper Buy used components, you could get a decent pc for 500$ then.

Basically just buy everything used.

[supple bane]

@prime jasper ermmmmmmmmm

no.

[prime jasper]

rip

[mild bough]

Is amd radeon 7470 hd a bad gpu?

[supple bane]

it will get like 5 fps on bf4 if you are lucky

[mild bough]

LOL

is it like gtx 770?

[supple bane]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-770-vs-AMD-HD-7470/2174vsm8681

the 770 isnt even that bad

shit for the price

but compared to other old gpu's

the 770 is around about 2000% better than the 7470 @mild bough

[mild bough]

wow

i cant imagine how low fps you would even get with roblox on that thing then

LOL

feel kinda bad for the guy

[supple bane]

like i said, the 770 is very respectable. it can push like 70 fps on bfv on low settings

[mild bough]

really?

[supple bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX1C3TOFfZ4

[mild bough]

is it better than the gtx 950?

[supple bane]

yeah

[mild bough]

wow

But when will the feature that you can drag injured teammates come back?

Kinda missed it

[supple bane]

you could do that ?

[mild bough]

How?

Only thing I can do is revive them

[supple bane]

no like, was that a thing in bfv ?

[mild bough]

Yeah I think

In the beta.

Where is the CPU located in the PC?

[supple bane]

under the cpu cooler in the middle of the motherboard

[mild bough]

oh ok

[mild bough]

i still havent found a fix to this but

Dark areas after i got my gpu

Got like really pixelated dark, purple, black and green. Does anyone have ideas of what it could be?

[mild bough]

I think it is that I use a HDMI cable to my rtx 2070

[north crow]

if you open nvidia control panel and go to "Change resolution"

make sure the "Output dynamic range" for the monitor is set to "Full" instead of "Limited"

[mild bough]

It is on full

[north crow]

hm okay

[mild bough]

But it still looks like crap

But do I need to buy a DVI or VGA cable?

[north crow]

is the issue visible in screenshots?

[mild bough]

no dont think so

I can find my phone and send the pic in dm

[north crow]

it shouldn't be an HDMI issue unless it has to use compression for the signal

[mild bough]

but ffs

my phone is out of battery

[supple bane]

take a print screen and send it to me

if it doesnt appear it is most likely a monitor issue

[mild bough]

i sent

[violet plank]

lmao,bfv finally used more than 16 gig ram

doesn't even drop below 14 gigs anymore

[mild bough]

I think I need a display port?

@violet plank I play with Ultra on BFV, and it barely goes over 12 for me. And I have Steam, Spotify and Google Chrome open...

[supple bane]

@mild bough same for me

[mild bough]

🙂

[violet plank]

that's because the frostshite engine is in a crap code state and it takes all the resources it can,with each patch it takes more

you only can see that if you have more than 16 gigs ram installed

btw quality settings do not affect ram usage,that's all video ram

i'm always playing on lowest settings

to match my monitor

NCC:gsync ON / vsync ON
IG: vsync OFF
RTSS: -3 fps of max. monitor refresh

bleh,wrong place,but whatever lol

[supple bane]

i have been getting really pissed off recently because i couldnt turn my lights off on my keyboard

and i just figured it out

and now im really happy

[violet plank]

so you found a software solution or a key combination ?

[supple bane]

key combo

[mild bough]

why

isnt lights kinda nice

if it is like weak

[supple bane]

yeah well, it gets old really quick

i have turned into wanting minimalistic white and black. not all the colours under the sun

[mild bough]

yeah i hate colors on keyboard

it distracts my eyes

Its nice to have the option tho

[sour ivy]

Oops

[oblique copper]

@coarse nimbus i think so but thx anyways

also if you like rainbow or moving in general corsair and most other name brand keyboards you can put the lights only on one side or just dim the whole thing

[fallen harbor]

can someone pls link me to that site where you can compare the quality between different gpus?

[supple bane]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2060-6GB-vs-AMD-RX-Vega-56/4034vs3938

this one ?

its called userbenchmark

@fallen harbor take it with a grain of salt tho,

it will give you a rough idea but it isnt 100%

heres an alternative https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/ the only alternative to userbenchmark other than straight up review benchmarks or youtube benchmarks

buy both and test

hello fellow battlefielders

does anyone know if there are any good settings for running BF5 on a quad core cpu?

i run BF1 on ultra with little drops

but on bf5 so fast i get smooth 60 or entire games on the 30 fos mark

Threadripper 3000 appears to be 8-channel

probably exclusive to a single high-end threadripper CPU like a 3990WX or whatever they're gonna call it

[steep gust]

I would always doubt GN when it comes to leaks that they don't publish their sources for said leak tbh

like why the fuck would AMD lock the highend threadripper chips? That makes no sense

[latent light]

8-channel would be crazy though for a consumer product

almost pointless

maybe 5% of threadripper users would find it advantageous

[steep gust]

but it would be amazing

[latent light]

Epyc has 8 channels

[steep gust]

2133mhz would be 136512MB/s

2666mhz 170625MB/s

3200mhz 204800MB/s

3600mhz 230400MB/s

[latent light]

if AMD really launches a 64-core Threadripper with 8-channels, Intel would be done in enthusiast tier

[steep gust]

theoretical maxes

but Threadripper 3 would get within 95% most likely

hell even a 32c with UMA

at like $1200

would crush the cascade-x refresh of the fucking 7980XE

[latent light]

isn't there specific workloads that favor Intel even if AMD has double the amount of cores/threads?

I know some software is optimized better for Intel instruction set

[steep gust]

pretty much yeah

benchmarks are suppose to be written to be neutral

but stuff like adobe software prefers the clocks

also windows hates super high core counts

so like idk how a 64c would go

[latent light]

if Epyc is the highest binned Ryzen chips, wonder what would happen if they put those really high binned chips on Ryzen 7/9 CPUs

[steep gust]

they are binned differently

eypc is for a certain V/F

and just being able to run a low voltage for your set frequency of like 3.3ghz doesn't mean that scales

idk only AMD knows how they split up chips

its less common nowadays, but it use to be a golden chip on ambient could be absolutely awful under LN2

Its possible all the higher frequency chips go to Ryzen, as the quantity required will be much higher

[crude gorge]

@vivid urchin hey man thanks so much that fixed it for me!

[sour ivy]

Betrayed why not mod anymore

[lofty light]

[dawn coyote]

So it seems the newest BFV patch increased controller support, which is actually an issue for me. I have a HORI RAP4 always plugged into my computer for fighting games and with the newest patch I have to unplug it every time to play BFV cause the controller neutral input overrides my mouse input. Is there a way to disable controller support for BFV?

There may be through config I guess

60Hz panel btw.

[latent light]

don't do it

monitors tend to lose a lot of life when you increase the refresh rate

[forest token]

what if you set a refresh rate that is between your max non custom and your lowest non custom? 🤔

because I want 75hz since it isn't available without a custom resolution

[storm osprey]

@timid abyss like no power goes on at all?

[mild bough]

@timid abyss Make sure the power button on the back on your PC is actually on, and that the cables go into the power input where you get the electricity from.

[urban mauve]

am joke to you ?

[storm osprey]

you really didnt give much info on what it could be

wrong person

[supple bane]

@timid abyss if there is no response from the computer at all it is either power supply or motherboard. if the fans/likes come on but nothing comes up on your screen then it can be about a million things

[supple bane]

your outlets do suck so I wouldn’t be surprised

Compared to the U.K. outlets you basically just have a bunch of live wires hanging out your wall

[timid abyss]

@storm osprey yeah, no power

@mild bough already did that

@supple bane no respone at all

@storm osprey no, everything else works that is connected to it

So you are getting power but you don't see an image?

Make sure your plugged into the right spot, if you have a gpu plug into the gpu

Has ps worked before or is it not working all of a sudden when it worked before?

Most people dont care about that @violet plank they just care that there is a new iPhone 11 and they MUST have it...

I totally agree that it is ugly though, and it is hella expensive. They probably dont cost much to make either.

[sour ivy]

Eh

All phones cost a lot to make

Just their profit margins are huge

I mean top of the line phones

[lofty light]

Eh, apple phones have basically all the margin on apple's side. I work with a company that sells them and they make bugger all margin

I have been downloading Rainbow Six Siege now for the past hour

Any ideas of what it could be?

[storm osprey]

is there an update out? too many people downloading at once could cause problems

[mild bough]

Well I rebooted my PC a few months ago, and I decided to re download R6S. So I have no idea if it is an update out.

Might have been that it is too many people tbh...

Wait it is 4.72 at downloading and 5.24 on uploading..

My internet is usually around 200/300...

you can try but it may not help

[stoic turret]

How's a Ryzen 5 3400G, RX 580 8GB and 16GB ram for bfv?

[prime jasper]

why would you get an APU with with a GPU?

[sour ivy]

2600

[prime jasper]

3600*

[stoic turret]

why is it 100€ more?

[storm osprey]

for 3400gs price i would get the 2600

[stoic turret]

In my country 3400g is 163€ and 3600 is 213€

[storm osprey]

how much is 2600?

[stoic turret]

120€ and 2600x is 170€

[storm osprey]

i would peronally get the 2600 over the 3400g

[prime jasper]

yeah dont get an APU if you have a GPU

[sour ivy]

Get the 2600

[stoic turret]

what about he 2600x? not worth it?

[sour ivy]

Naw

Not worth that much

[prime jasper]

really if you can scrape the couch and car out for a little more the 3600 is worth it

[sour ivy]

For a 580?

Y

[prime jasper]

future proofing

[storm osprey]

price to performance i really doubt the 2600 is losing out to the 3600 when its 100 bucks cheaper

[stoic turret]

How many years do you think it will hold up?

[mild bough]

0

[storm osprey]

well if you go 1440p a very long time

[supple bane]

even at 1080p it still has a few years at least

[storm osprey]

yea 1080p id guess a good while, 3 years minimum before you really start to see problems

of course that depends on what monitor

60hz i cant imagine the 2600 being a problem for a long fucking time

[stoic turret]

Yeah I play on 1080p 60hz

Do you mean "I can imagine the 2600 not being a problem"?

[storm osprey]

ye sorry about that

[stoic turret]

The build goes for about $650 here

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LVmc6s

[supple bane]

you dont need a 650watt psu unless you plan to upgrade btw

550watt is perfectly fine for that config

[stoic turret]

It's only a $15 difference so I think it's worth to got for the 650

Maybe a gpu upgrade in the future

How many watts would a 1660 increase for example?

[storm osprey]

iirc white corsair psus werent that great

idk about this seasonic but in general people trust the seasonic brand

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Tc3RsY/seasonic-power-supply-ss620gm2

[sour ivy]

My 1080 and 2600x run fine on 550

[stoic turret]

@storm osprey Ok I'll go for that one

$40 off here damn

[storm osprey]

yea the corsair cx is tier 2

hmm seasonic evo isnt on the list though

[stoic turret]

Is 520w fine?

[storm osprey]

https://www.gamingscan.com/psu-hierarchy/

personally look for the highest tier you can afford

psu isnt something you want to skimp on

[stoic turret]

https://www.pcdiga.com/fonte-de-alimentac-o-seasonic-m12ii-evo-edition-520w-full-modular

This is tier 1 right?

It's only 520w tho

[storm osprey]

im not seeing seasonic evo on that tier list

[latent light]

@stoic turret don't pay more than $180 for an RX 580

[stoic turret]

@storm osprey Seasonic M12II almost last one

[storm osprey]

grim they are in euro afaik

[stoic turret]

@latent light $176 here

[storm osprey]

ahh yea i see

[stoic turret]

I'm converting the prices so you have an idea

[storm osprey]

how thoughtful

i like you

[stoic turret]

The whole thing is $137 off because of some discounts that end in 4 days

The rx 480 is normally $250 here

[prime jasper]

woof

[storm osprey]

meow

[stoic turret]

So thanks everyone for your input

[latent light]

What about GTX 1660

[stoic turret]

cheapest one is $275 now, normally $300

and that's the cheapest one

The average one goes for $330

its linked

that first link he sent just takes you to the general list build, if you had a build you had done that link would take you there, it wasnt his own build link

[prime jasper]

vega 56

nein

[storm osprey]

@inland orbit why 8gb and never heard of that psu

[inland orbit]

aight

8gb is enough for me

just a casual gamer

[storm osprey]

the price different is what? 30 bucks?

[prime jasper]

yeah 8 is not quite enough

16 would be ideal

[storm osprey]

isnt 8gb like the minimum recommended for even office use

[prime jasper]

basically

[mild bough]

8gb ram or storage?

[prime jasper]

ram

[mild bough]

oh good

8gb is a little low, 16gb is perfect. Especially if you are gonna have spotify and a few other apps open while youre playing

[inland orbit]

im not

[supple bane]

you will need 16gb m8

and you cant say you wont, because you will

a game will use on average around 11gb of ram

so 8 just simply isnt enough for gaming

[mild bough]

unless you play roblox

[supple bane]

you also are never going to need that psu. 550w is fine for that setup

[inland orbit]

is it

aight thanks

❤

[supple bane]

that setup will use around 300w

[inland orbit]

and then 250 spare

just in case

[supple bane]

exactly

600w is just overkill

[inland orbit]

or if I want to upgrade

in the future

[latent light]

Vega 56 alone can spike up to 300W

[supple bane]

well thats news to me

i have never heard that in my life

[inland orbit]

I only intend to put my games on med-high

or might just get rx 580

idk

[latent light]

376 watt absolute peak

[supple bane]

i always thought the vega 56 was about 200watt

[sour ivy]

That’s a lot of juiiiicc

[supple bane]

and the rest will consume no more than 150watt

so around 300 was my best guess

[latent light]

Get 600w psu minimum

[inland orbit]

oof

[supple bane]

ok well

[inland orbit]

I currently use geforce now

for games

cause I have alright wifi

[latent light]

Do you plan on playing BF5?

[supple bane]

i still dont think that a vega 56 will reach that wattage in a normal circumstance

maybe with a really high overclock

[inland orbit]

if I get a key or something

ye

I don't intend to oc

if anything undervolt

[supple bane]

but he eint ocing a vega 56 in that case

[latent light]

Nah I think that test was from enabling the power limit to +50

It shouldn't peak above 300w stock

Problem with the MSI Vega 56 air boost is that it's loud

[inland orbit]

I want a aeroplane in my house

so I can star in the movie up

[prime jasper]

why would you get a vega when you can get a 5700? makes no sense

[inland orbit]

2

what's a 5700?

and when did it come out

[latent light]

RX 5700

[inland orbit]

cause I haven't updated that

for like a year

[supple bane]

yanno what

he has a point

i forgot about that card lol

[latent light]

That Vega 56 is a good price

[inland orbit]

the xt?

or just 5700

[latent light]

5700

[supple bane]

just the 5700

[inland orbit]

it's 319 pounds

no ty

xd

100 pound more

[sour ivy]

Vroom vroom

Just get a 2080ti

[latent light]

Vega 56 best value

[inland orbit]

it's pretty much a 1070ti

guys, I'll go buy thermal paste, which one can you recommend?

[storm osprey]

arctic silver 5 iirc is the standard go to

[desert bear]

Annotated in the list, I will look for it!

[storm osprey]

personally, i plan on buying a thermal pad next

[desert bear]

Is that much better? I just recommended this https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/thermal-grease/ic-essential-e2/

[storm osprey]

it seems much better imo

https://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Cooling-Graphite-Thermal-Pad/dp/B07CKVW18G#customerReviews

[desert bear]

And this https://www.thermaltake.com/tg-5.html

Now I see!

I don't think they sell it in Peru yet But i will look for it

[storm osprey]

look up "thermal pad" and see if anything else comes up

[desert bear]

https://www.falabella.com.pe/falabella-pe/product/15786204/Almohadilla-de-PVC-Termica-S40 Well ... it's something similar xD

[storm osprey]

guess your default is paste

comes up as error

uhh but arctic isnt the same as arctic silver

but apparently that arctic mx-4 past is good

[desert bear]

https://horsansystem.com/index.php?id_category=15&controller=category

So which one am I going for? Uhm.

[storm osprey]

arctic mx-4 is supposedly really good from what i just looked up

[violet plank]

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut

IF you know how to apply TC

[prime jasper]

mx-4 is great, Ive used it

[desert bear]

I know the basics, spread a little, but I will ask for help when I get home. Now I will go shopping. Thanks for the help guys! Arctic mx-4 and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut! ( I'll ask for help if I come with that @violet plank )

my friend has 4 ram slots with 2 sticks of 4gb each

is it ok to add one 8gb stick?

and have 3 out of 4 slots used?

or would that mess things up

can he also buy 2 sticks of 8 and have 8484?

what would be best?

[prime jasper]

lol no dont mix and match

only use matching ram kits

[fallen harbor]

i know people that use 8-4

[prime jasper]

okay ty

it will drop to the lowest rated stick by default

hello all! I dont know if this is the right channel for it but is someone maybe able to help me out with performance issues in bf5?

[silk echo]

Have you tried EA Support?

[mortal nacelle]

Get technical & account support: https://help.ea.com/battlefield

[exotic zephyr]

not sure if those will be able to help out, it's not just bf5

[silk echo]

Whats your issue?

[exotic zephyr]

well i suddenly got a horrible performance in almost every game, basically cutting my FPS half or even worse. When I play bf5 my pc should be able to handle it on ultra with 100+fps but I am getting 35-60FPS on medium setting only

[silk echo]

Have you updated your gpu driver?

[exotic zephyr]

yes

i have posted on reddit about this if you want to read through it?

i explain everything i already did there

[silk echo]

Optimize your games through shadowplay thingy

Maybe V sync is on

sure, shot the reddit link to my dm

[exotic zephyr]

vsync is off

[silk echo]

Can you check if your PC recoginizes all your 16gb of ram?

[exotic zephyr]

it's 32 in total

and yes it does

[silk echo]

Are all of them 3000mhz?

Have you installed anything lately?

[exotic zephyr]

they're at 2133 now because my i7-6700k cannot handle it on 3000 but it doesn't make a difference if i set it to 3000

[silk echo]

Huh

thats weird

Do you have game mode enabled in Windows?

[exotic zephyr]

oh, yes, and i just disabled it

[silk echo]

Try now

Or open your PC and clean it

then try it

[exotic zephyr]

i cleaned my pc less than a month ago

even changed the thermal paste

[silk echo]

Might as well

Well if you know how to change thermal paste i reckon you know how much to put, right?

[exotic zephyr]

yes

[silk echo]

Right, well id just say clean your pc again

and boot up BFV

[exotic zephyr]

i have slightly more fps now after turning off the game mode but most of the time it's still below 60fps

[silk echo]

Contact EA support mate, I have no idea

[exotic zephyr]

yeah...

on medium settings it's mostly at 70 but it also dips below 50

[silk echo]

Have you installed anything lately?

This is really odd

[exotic zephyr]

not really

[silk echo]

wdym not really

No or yes

[exotic zephyr]

no

apart from the gpu driver and bios update

[silk echo]

This is very odd

Did it start before or after the bios update?

[exotic zephyr]

way before

[silk echo]

No idea mate

[exotic zephyr]
