NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is the most powerful card ever

[supple bane]

but is it in gaming ?

i assume it is if you say that

[mild bough]

Having SLI on quadro rtx 8000 lol

would cost like a billion dollars

[supple bane]

it would be like 14k

for 2

[latent light]

it's a $10,000 GPU

do GPU specific cooler systems exist?

i only know CPU ones do

[prime jasper]

yes

[fallen harbor]

all i hear about specific coolers are for CPU

but Ive never heard for GPU

what are they called?

[prime jasper]

aftermarket coolers exist

or just liquid cooling loops

[fallen harbor]

know any names?

any models

i wanna do this

i really want to lower my gpu temps and idk how

[sour ivy]

What’s your flu

Gpu

@fallen harbor

[fallen harbor]

rx590

[sour ivy]

Reference?

[fallen harbor]

sapphire build

[sour ivy]

So two fans

How hot is it running

[mild bough]

use msi afterburner and turn the fan speed up

[fallen harbor]

75c on any game

[mild bough]

turn the fan speed up to 70%

[whole citrus]

you guys know a perfect monitor for BFV for around 250 euros

[fallen harbor]

half of the times msi turns on it forgets to apply the fan settings

it sucks to be honest

this happened with every pc i had

its a msi problem

[sour ivy]

@whole citrus yeah you can get one for a lot less than that lol

@fallen harbor 75 c isn’t even bad

[fallen harbor]

i know but i want to have higher frame rates in some games and what limits it is the temp i believe, because the gpu usage never reaches 90%

long story short i want low input lag

as low as possible

i get 300fps on csgo with 40% of gpu usage

maybe if i lowered the temp, the frame rate could go even higher

i want the gpu utilization to be the limit, not the temperature

the cpu usage is never near its limit either so its not a bottleneck case i assume

[sour ivy]

Replace the thermal paste on it

Turn your fans up higher

Is the airflow in your case good?

[fallen harbor]

this gpu is brand new, should i change the thermal paste still?

[sour ivy]

Eh not sure

I think the 590 tends to run hot anyways

[fallen harbor]

im not sure if the airflow is good. I have the max amount of fans i can have in this case but im not 100% sure if the flow is the best possible

[sour ivy]

You have rear exhaust?

[fallen harbor]

yes

[sour ivy]

Front panels are bringing air in!

?

[fallen harbor]

and fromt intake and two up above, one for each direction

[sour ivy]

Good

Again the 590 runs toasty

Fan speed

Is the best way

https://wccftech.com/rumor-amd-zen-3-architecture-to-support-up-to-4-threads-per-core-with-smt4-feature/

This rumor getting more attention now

Imagine a 8 core with 32 threads

AMD already finished the design of 4th gen Ryzen

Could launch in the first quarter of 2020

[supple bane]

but they only just released zen 2

wouldnt this send zen2 prices down, and zen+ prices straight through the floor ?

[sour ivy]

[violet plank]

amd has some hardcore problems with their ryzen dual chiplet chips,they need to clear that stuff first

3900 non x inc with only 3.1ghz base clock

[latent light]

low binned chips

3rd gen Ryzen at 3.1 GHz would perform similar to 2nd gen at 4 GHz

don't really see the issue

[latent light]

https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20190925PD203.html

10% market share

They only had 0.8% market share in 2016

[sour ivy]

They killin

They need to work really hard on laptops now

[abstract yew]

does anyone know why BF5 is the only game that needs like 100gb HDD space to update?

seems perfectly optimized

[prime jasper]

I had the same issue, had to move hardline

[storm osprey]

bfv is a large game with a lot of stuff to it

[abstract yew]

yeah, but other competitive online games manage to patch with very little space, I mean, it feels like the game is trying to duplicate itself first and then replace the old files

not sure how that would ever be necessary

[storm osprey]

bfv isnt a competitive online game, and its a lot more complicated and bigger than something like csgo

[abstract yew]

lets put it like that: no other game needs twice the space it actually needs to update, that's just pretty bad

[storm osprey]

if youre talking about what i think you are, for some reason bfv/origin allocates that space but doesnt use it, why? idk

thankfully bfv load fine on HDD so i just put it there

[abstract yew]

it's very weird though, but yea, hopefully someday EA will learn from all their fuckups

[storm osprey]

ehh, the raking in over 3billion a year, doubt they think they have to change much if at all

[latent light]

@violet plank Ryzen 9 3900 with 12 cores/24 threads at 3.1 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost at only 65 watts

that's really impressive

assuming 15 watts for the I/O die, that is 4.1 watts per core for a high-end x86 CPU at decent clock speeds

[stiff harness]

I haven't played BFV in a while. Last time I did, I was running an i5 6600K and dealing with lots of stutter and lower-than-desirable FPS. I've got a Ryzen 3700X now. Is the microstutter still a problem in-game, or should that mostly be ironed out now with a better CPU?

I ask because I have to deal with data caps, and a 75GB game is both really big and takes a long time to download.

[latent light]

@stiff harness yes should run a lot better with a 3700X

6600K will stutter because only 4 cores and 4 threads

[stiff harness]

Hmm...

Yeah, I'm real tempted to reinstall

[latent light]

do you have dual channel ram?

[stiff harness]

Of course!

[latent light]

ok good

[stiff harness]

3200MHz, 8x2

[latent light]

yeah should do fine

[stiff harness]

Sweet.

I really liked what I played but the performance was a dealbreaker

Couldn't deal with the stutter. 6600K aged like milk.

[latent light]

6th gen Intel was their worst release

first iteration of 14nm and DDR4

awful support

[stiff harness]

Tell me about it.

I was stuck with that thing for years because I couldn't afford the $400 to get a Coffee Lake i5 and motherboard

[latent light]

when 6th gen came out, DDR4 was only at 2133 and 2400 MHz and that's at CL16 and CL17 timings lmao

[stiff harness]

IIRC mine is 3200 at Cl15

[latent light]

Intel should of stuck to DDR3 for 6th gen

[stiff harness]

nope, CL16

Anyway, yeah. Went from an old Z170 board with a 6600K and 2x8GB 2400MHz CL17 DDR4 RAM to

an x570 with a 3700X and 3200MHz DDR4 RAM

it was a welcome upgrade

cost me a pretty penny

[latent light]

B550 motherboards next month supposedly

lmao

a lot cheaper than X570

cheapest X570 is $160

which should be how much a really good B550 costs

right now I'm just hoping for a white B550 motherboard to launch

[stiff harness]

😦

[latent light]

maybe a B550 Tomahawk Arctic or Mortar Arctic

[stiff harness]

Is the B550 some kind of budget option?

[latent light]

B550 is supposed to have the same chipset as X470 but with a few more features

[stiff harness]

I quite like the features of my new board. Lots of SATA ports for drives, two NVME ports, two PCI Express ports and an expansion slot.

Only real gripe is that the fan headers are all in the bottom left of the board while my case fans have such short cables

I need extenders to be able to fit them

[latent light]

weird

[stiff harness]

woe is me

The onboard wifi on the board is incredible though

smokes my old PCIe wi-fi card

[latent light]

lol

[stiff harness]

(I live in a rental and can't get CAT6 in my house)

[latent light]

I want a board with good audio

[stiff harness]

Yeah I'm thinking I'll invest in a good sound card, since I freed up an expansion slot

Any recommendations?

[latent light]

not any that I know of

[stiff harness]

Dang, oh well

Saw a real nice setup at PAX demo'd with Control

Was $200 tho, way out of my price point

And I've heard $80-100 is a good target for consumer-level stuff with great quality

[brave mirage]

pretty happy with Sound BlasterX G6 for all most a year. Let me play old BF2 on ultra soundsettings with X-FI audio 🙂

[violet plank]

@latent light i don't say the 3900 will be a bad cpu,on the contrary.i was meaning there will be a lot of 3900 cause of the problems with the 3900x (not starting with the 3950x).the yield seems to be great but they have some (bigger) issues with the clocks on those X cpus

whatever the reason

binned down epycs,IF problems?dunno

only affects dual chiplets in the ryzen line

[odd goblet]

Spent about 8 hours trying to get a RX 570 to work, gave up

[latent light]

@odd goblet RMA

you got a defective one

chance of getting a defective graphics card is about 5%

[odd goblet]

We'll keep trying, but if it keeps fucking up we send it back

[latent light]

what does it do

crash, artifact, shut off?

[odd goblet]

Well, when installing it, this happened twice, we just got no signal

Restarting it, no signal

[latent light]

has it ever worked?

do the fans ever spin?

[odd goblet]

The fans spin

[latent light]

so it's turning on

but no display

so maybe faulty output

could be the slot you use for the display output cable

[odd goblet]

Well, we just put the old graphics card back in and said fuck it for now

[fallen harbor]

guys dumb quesstion

how bad is it to use only one ram stick

my friend wants to have 16 but has the money to buy only one stick now

im telling them to buy one stick of 8 now

and get another of 8 later

is my advice right or wrong

they have 2 sticks of 4 though

o suggested them to change those for one of 8

or can they just still use two of 4 along with one of 8? or maybe 4 sticks of 4gb?

is that okay?

[latent light]

@fallen harbor single stick of 8GB should do fine in most games

not BF5 though

[fallen harbor]

i see, thank you

what if they get 4 4 4 4? is that okay?

[latent light]

what speed of ram is he considering

and what cpu

if he's got an i5-6400 or 7400 then he should get 2400 MHz ram

if he's got a 8400 or any Ryzen CPU, he should get 2666 or higher

@fallen harbor 4x4GB is sometimes problematic when trying to get it to run at rated speeds

[fallen harbor]

2400mhz

[latent light]

6th gen Intel CPUs will only run RAM at 2133 MHz in 4x4

[fallen harbor]

idk what cpu they have, il ask

i5 9400

thats what she has

[latent light]

@fallen harbor is she playing BF5?

[fallen harbor]

idk dont think so

[latent light]

single 8GB stick will work for now

[fallen harbor]

she just said she cant change her 2 sticks for one of 8

is 4 4 4 4 an option for i5 9400?

[latent light]

yes

make sure to get the same model of ram

don't wanna mix it

[fallen harbor]

alright ty

[latent light]

i5-9400 supports 2666 MHz ram

[fallen harbor]

do you know what i5 8400 supports?

[acoustic trout]

i have issue when i remove my ac cable from laptop the game frezze and i get 10 fps with the ac plugged i have full performence pls help pm me if u know what to do

[latent light]

@acoustic trout what kind of laptop is it

[acoustic trout]

lenvo 540 irh its new only buy 2 days ago

[latent light]

it could be that the battery doesn't supply enough power to the laptop alone and needs the cable to help power the CPU and graphics

[acoustic trout]

sound its maybe the problem i have gtx 1660ti

(;

[latent light]

The reason the frames drop when unplugged is because the laptop was designed to preserve as much power as possible

[acoustic trout]

but the problem is if i play will charge on the bettry will not work

[latent light]

I suspect that it's either an i5 or i7 that draws 25 watts and a 1660Ti at 80 watts

battery most likely can't supply that much power

[acoustic trout]

it i7 9750

[latent light]

nvm 45 watts from that CPU

so you're looking at about 160 watts when you include CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, display, ect.

[lofty light]

Sounds like the laptop is configured to auto throttle on battery no matter what

[latent light]

yeah

[lofty light]

Check your power prefs

[latent light]

could be a setting you can disable

or change

[acoustic trout]

i try everthing even update the bios

[latent light]

take note that a laptop battery will only last 30 to 45 minutes when playing games lol

AC cable is recommended to keep plugged in when gaming

[acoustic trout]

ok but if its will be plugged the ac willl not charge my bettry any more no?

if i do it like week or something

[latent light]

what you're saying is that the cable doesn't charge the battery when you're playing games?

[acoustic trout]

no i mean if i will play with the cable plugged in gaming and i will keep the ac on even if i have 100% its can destroy the laptop bettry?

no?

[latent light]

nah

batteries wear down over time nonetheless

should last a few years

[acoustic trout]

are u sure ?its not lappto

cheap*

[latent light]

Leaving your laptop plugged in will not cause short term damage but if you only ever use it on AC power you'll almost certainly find that after a year the battery's capacity has been significantly reduced

one thing you can do to prevent this is to only plug it in when gaming

when you finish, unplug it

[acoustic trout]

when i finish to play u mean?

[latent light]

yes

when playing games, plug in the AC cable

[acoustic trout]

ok thanks men'

system specs i mean

[smoky ginkgo]

They are Intel Quad Core i5 16GB 1TB Windows 10 2GB MSI GeForce GTX 1050 2GT OCV1 Graphics Card,2GB GDDR5,DVI-D,HDMI,DP

[supple bane]

yeah no point getting a ott monitor, your system wont be able to meet the specs of it

a 1080p 75hz monitor would be best

here

there is also a 1080p 144hz monitor for around the same price. but it is only 21" and your system wont be able to push 1080p 144fps

[smoky ginkgo]

Its fine the just need a basic set up for now I'm new to it all and stuff so still learning

anyone else getting "you have lost connection to the ea servers " on xbox one?

any good gaming monitor for 100-130$ ?

[supple bane]

unless you buy second hand, no

you won't get anything more than 1080p 60hz for that money

[prime jasper]

i found 75hz in 100-130$ lol

but I don't know if it's worth it

Acer Nitro VG220QBMIIX

[forest token]

you can get a refurbished monitor from acer, that's what I did for my two 144hz

no complaints except they sent a newer version on one that I ordered so I had two mismatched bases

[prime jasper]

okay thank you 🙂

[forest token]

they have a shop on ebay

[smoky ginkgo]

Can u tell the difference between the hz what does it actually do and how big of difference is 60hz 1444hz 240hz

[forest token]

75hz about $20 more for 144hz or wait for a sale like black friday

increases the numbers of frames that display so the motion is smoother

heres a video -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV8P6T5tTYs

[smoky ginkgo]

awe OK right i get u

[latent light]

almost all 75hz monitors are just overclocked 60hz monitors lmao

[smoky ginkgo]

Fairs what would be the minimum requirements to get 244hz

[forest token]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1cmhZs1P54 another video showing the difference in slowmotion

I use 60hz and 100hz usually, 144hz only works on less demanding games (overwatch works good)

I have desktop shortcuts to switch between modes, using a program called Display changer II

[smoky ginkgo]

im more like of a battlefield player but i just need a simple game to play first tonget use to the controls and stuff so still learning shit haha

[forest token]

I don't think it's possible to get 240hz in bfv right now

144hz would probably need a 5700 xt or high end nvidia card and 9700k intel cpu

[smoky ginkgo]

Are right i just bought a bundle on but bought a better graphics crad

MSI get force gtx 1050 graphics card

[forest token]

also would depend on settings

[smoky ginkgo]

iu can run tests and stuff cant u to see how far u can push it eh

[forest token]

with a 1050 you will need to run on lower settings

[smoky ginkgo]

Cool when i get paid again next month might up grade it a bit what is the well would u say is the important bits to up grade first or matter

[summer comet]

That's tough.. I got rid of my i5 and upgraded to an i7

[forest token]

what is your cpu RAC

it should do for now, the gpu upgrade will help a lot

you can always try the game for a month with origin access for about $5 after making your upgrade but make sure to cancel the monthly reactivation

[smoky ginkgo]

Well that's alright then gonna try learn more about this stuff too the

[latent light]

@smoky ginkgo you're gonna need a Ryzen 5 3600 or i7-8700K and a RX 5700 or RTX 2070 Super to play BF5 at 144hz

Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT is $410 and matches the RTX 2080 in BF5

which makes it an excellent graphics card for the money

[queen field]

dont forget about the ram

think u can defo get away with 3000mhz, assuming with reasonable timings of course

For real though, I've never run into that issue.. Is it discord itself?

Closing Discord out completely then launching it again? Running as administrator? I'm honestly not sure what would cause that issue to happen

[grave fog]

oh yea, it might be discord's overlay affecting bf5 chat

[summer comet]

OHHH you meant the in-game BFV chat?

I feel so dumb

[grave fog]

oh sorry i might have not been clear

[summer comet]

It's all good, yeah I've run into that issue.. Personally it's never bothered me as in-game chat is TOXIC 98% of the time but I can see how it could be annoying

I usually just restart the game and/or origin and it usually seems to fix itself that way

[stiff harness]

Don't forget, if you pop your GPU open and replace the factory thermal paste, you can usually reduce temps under load by 3-4C

With my aftermarket paste instead of the original awful factory thermal paste job on my 1080 Ti, I gained 9-10C.

Also useful if you use a waterblock instead of a blower or fans.

No idea how easy it is to expose the GPU on the Radeon 5700, though.

[latent light]

most 5700s only need 6-7 screws removed

some around 10

think Gamers Nexus said AMD cards are usually the most simple to take apart and require 30 seconds or less

[stiff harness]

That's... amazing.

I wish my 1080 Ti were that easy to take apart. Needed two different screwdrivers, some pliers, and my roommate to hold it steady so I could unplug one of the fans

It also had something in the ballpark of 16 screws, not including those on the IO plate (which needed to be removed)

[latent light]

lmao

you should see how hard an RTX 2080 Ti is

especially a founders edition

40+ screws iirc

plus a glued LED header

[stiff harness]

what the shit

Hey guys, I am currently experience awful performance while playing. I experience low GPU usage and low fps.

My rig: Tuf Gaming FX505GE

• i5 8300h
• GTX 1060 6gb
• 8gb ram

Is there a fix to this? Thanks!

I have seen a video on YouTube with the same specs as my laptop and he has High GPU usage and good FPS.

Thanks!

[latent light]

@whole flame do you have single channel or dual channel ram

[stiff harness]

@whole flame Battlefield 5 is a RAM-hungry game. 8GB is the bare minimum.

Nonetheless, check this guide out.

https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Battlefield_V#Stuttering_issues

BF5 often fails to clear cached info. This should help somewhat.

[latent light]

single channel ram is also an issue

often sees anywhere between 30% to 50% lower performance than dual channel

[stiff harness]

Indeed.

When I was getting my new motherboard set up, I realized after a day or two that it was only using one RAM stick due to not having the latest BIOS.

One flash later and everything's working perfectly.

[whole flame]

@latent light It's a single stick 8gb ram, so I am guessing Single Channel? Sorry I am just new to PCs. hehe THANKS!

Ill be adding another 8gb ram tomorrow, hope it fixes the issue. Will update throught this thread!

[stiff harness]

Yeah tbat’s single channel

Make sure the second stick is identical to the other in terms of spec!

CL timing, clock speed, available DRAM

[whole flame]

@stiff harness thanks

@stiff harness but given my specs being the following:
i5 8300h @ 2.3Ghz
GTX 1060 6gb

Do you think it can really run Battefield 5 with ease?
I really don't know what's causing the low GPU usage which is unfortunate.

[stiff harness]

That’s a 4 core 8 thread CPU. It’s... fine. Nothing spectacular.

The 1060 is enough for medium settings and high textures

But with ease? I don’t know. Game’s kind of a mess.

[whole flame]

Could it be my RAM? But i see a bunch of YouTube vids running 8gb ram...

[stiff harness]

I’m using a GTX 1080 Ti with a Ryzen 7 3700X and 16GB DDR4 RAM at 3200MHz

Chances are decent it’s the RAM. Dual channel 8GB RAM is much faster than single channel

[whole flame]

@stiff harness What's ur CPU and GPU usage while playing Online?

[stiff harness]

GPU maxes out. CPU... I haven’t paid attention to that

Certainly better than my old i5 6600K, tho

[whole flame]

my CPU usage is higher than GPU usage hmmm....

[stiff harness]

Your CPU is the bottleneck

It’s almost certainly the cause of your performance issues in tandem with RAM

Report back tomorrow when you’ve got that second RAM stick

I’m gonna pass out

[latent light]

i5-8300H is identical to a locked i7-3770

in performance

[stiff harness]

With or without hyperthreading?

[latent light]

with

[stiff harness]

Dang

[whole flame]

so another 8gb ram single channel will fix it?

[stiff harness]

No promises

[latent light]

about as fast as a 4c/8t Ryzen 5 1500X

[whole flame]

@stiff harness ayt sure thanks

[latent light]

another 8GB stick will increase performance up to 50%

also make sure you're not running off of integrated graphics on the CPU

[whole flame]

@latent light will it fix my low gpu usage tho?

[latent light]

download Userbenchmark and run it

and post the scores

https://www.userbenchmark.com

run it with nothing else running

[whole flame]

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/20553471

Here's the link thanks ^^

I have the same exact specs as the following videos but the only difference is that I have 8gb ram and the videos are using 16gb ram.

my specs:
i5 8300h
gtx 1060 6gb
8gb ram

specs in youtube videos:
i5 8300h
gtx 1060 6gb
16gb ram
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOVIX8zQcJo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07lU127dtnU&t=672s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu1ZLf6LBI4

They get stable fps. So, i guess, the issue is the amount of RAM I have?

[latent light]

Yeah

Get another stick of the same kind you have

It's laptop ram, which is SODIMM

2666 MHz speed

[whole flame]

Thanks my dude @latent light Will update you tomorrow HK Time aft i install another stick!!

Thanks again appreciate the help from u guys!!

[fallen harbor]

guise

is there anything wrong if i had one 2400mhz stick of ram and another 2600mhz stick besides that 200mhz not being used?

imagine i had two 2400 sticks and one died but i also had a spare ram stick of 2600

would that be ok or should i buy another to make two equal

[prime jasper]

@fallen harbor matching kits are always better

can it work? yes. possibly unstable? also yes

[fallen harbor]

oh i see ty

also my friend got a ryzen 5 2400 with a 1080ti. He obviously isnt very familiarized with this topic and his pc has a big bottleneck and he cant afford a proper and matching cpu for his 1080ti so I am suggesting him to change all of that for a ryzen 5 2600 and a 1060ti, rx590 or 1660ti, would you agree on that?

[prime jasper]

Why would he get rid of the 1080ti?

just keep it and get the 2600

[fallen harbor]

bwcause he cant afford much more , hes at his limit

he also got 8gb of ram only

[prime jasper]

well yeah single channel ram is going to choke it no matter what

[fallen harbor]

i suggested to change his 1080ti for a 1660ti and with the money he gets left from that he can upgrade his cpu to a 2600x and his ram to 16gb

[prime jasper]

the RAM should be the focus then the CPU. sucks if he has to downgrade like that

[fallen harbor]

he said he doesnt want a very high end pc, i dont really think he actually wants a 1080ti, he probably doesnt know what he got

and its too much for the rest of the parts he got

it looks like a big waste of money to me

[prime jasper]

if he got dual channel now it would help quite a bit

[fallen harbor]

wdym

[prime jasper]

Im assuming his 8gb is single channel

so if he got a 2x8 dual channel kit it would help

[fallen harbor]

oh no idea, all i know is he got 8gb only

apparently he got all these parts few days ago anyway so he still can change everything

[fallen harbor]

this other friend i was talking about before has a ballistix sport 8gb ram of 2400 and he says the 2400 sticks of this brand are more expensive than the 2600 ones. Should I suggest to get a 2400mhz of a different brand that is cheaper?

i am almost sure its better to have same specs of different brands than same brand and different specs but i am not 100% sure because i never tried it

[prime jasper]

nothing beats matching kits regardless

[fallen harbor]

wdym

[prime jasper]

different brands is still mix and match

as is same brand and different specs

none of it is optimal

[fallen harbor]

sorry maybe my english is off but i dont quite understand what it is that youre suggesting

[prime jasper]

only get matching kits of RAM

do not mix brands/specs

[fallen harbor]

so he should buy a 2400mhz of the same brand even if its more expensive?

[prime jasper]

only if its the same brand AND specs

timing/speed

[fallen harbor]

okay ty

[prime jasper]

preferably the exact same model

[odd goblet]

Now that I have a 570, I need to get an i5 to play some of the games I want to play...

[prime jasper]

lol what do you have?

[summer comet]

^ I wanna know, i3? Pentium? xd

[pine jasper]

@odd goblet which i5 do you want exactly?

@summer comet imagine he actually does have a pentium 🤦

[odd goblet]

Not exactly, I just have an i3-6100T

[summer comet]

[pine jasper]

Idek what that is lmao

[odd goblet]

It's an i3

[pine jasper]

no shit lmao

[odd goblet]

I found an i5 for about $200

[pine jasper]

which i5 tho

[summer comet]

I used to have the i5-6600k which is the minimum CPU requirement for BFV... Idk if it was just my PC or what but I couldn't play at more than 30fps with that

[pine jasper]

Be more specific

[odd goblet]

I am not really aiming to get BFV for the computer

I think I had it saved on a list

[pine jasper]

I have a 9600k and a 2060 and getting 100 fps on ultra. No ray tracing tho

[summer comet]

I had the same issue with BF1 during the time it was the main game.. I recently just upgraded to the i7-9700K and I run at 120fps (capped in settings) constantly

[odd goblet]

i5-6500

[pine jasper]

Uhhh

[odd goblet]

Like I said, not really aiming to get Battlefield V to work on the computer

[pine jasper]

Maybe get something better?

The 9600k is 260 bucks

[odd goblet]

I don't have the best budget

[pine jasper]

Just 60 bucks more not that much

[prime jasper]

bro the 9600k wont work in his board

its a 6th gen chipset

[pine jasper]

Oh shit

[summer comet]

I got the 9700K for $365 on a KILLER deal from Newegg

[odd goblet]

KILLER COMBO

[summer comet]

It's usually priced at $405-$415 retail

[prime jasper]

best you can do is 6700k on that one

[pine jasper]

Whats his chipset

[storm osprey]

shit for 200 bucks might as well as get a 2600 and a cheap MB

[prime jasper]

z170 or similar most likely

[odd goblet]

Uh, how do you know?

[prime jasper]

because Im a fat nerd

[pine jasper]

Lmao

[storm osprey]

arent we all

[odd goblet]

Z170A to be clear

[prime jasper]

yes...yes we are

[mild bough]

I5 for 200$ is overpriced

Loads of i7’s goes for around that price

[prime jasper]

catmans suggestion of a 2600 combo is about right though

[pine jasper]

2600 for 200 dollars is overpriced

[storm osprey]

2600 here are 130

[prime jasper]

with a b450 board is cheap

[pine jasper]

Cuz they are penis

[storm osprey]

hence get a 2600 and a cheap mb

[prime jasper]

nothings more rotting dick cheese than a dead chipset

[odd goblet]

wow okay lol

[pine jasper]

🧠

[prime jasper]

we only want you to not waste your money

[supple bane]

most of intels chips are wastes of money atm

there is only a certain few that arent

[prime jasper]

britbong with the RKO out of nowhere

[supple bane]

[mild bough]

i think i7s are overpriced compared to how good they actually work

[supple bane]

depends on the i7

some arent some are

[mild bough]

I have i7-8700, its good but i cant brag about it

[prime jasper]

his z170 is deader than grandma, no point in wasting money on it

[pine jasper]

i7 7700k is overpriced tbh

350 dollars like wtf

[mild bough]

They could lower the price about 100 bucks imo

[pine jasper]

The 9600k is 260 bucks and better than the 7700k in gaming

It doesnt have hyper threading tho but idgaf about that tbh

[mild bough]

I7-9600k?

[pine jasper]

9600k

I5

[mild bough]

I9?

[pine jasper]

Pepega

[mild bough]

Oh i5 lol

[prime jasper]

lmao

[mild bough]

imagine an i9 for 260 bucks

[prime jasper]

imagine pigs flying

[pine jasper]

Never gonna happen xD

[storm osprey]

8th gen was when intel got a wake up call from amd

[prime jasper]

the core wars have been glorious

[supple bane]

well 8th gen was one of intels best

[pine jasper]

Why are the 7700k and 8700k the same price

[supple bane]

i5 8400 is a great chip

[pine jasper]

Please explain

[supple bane]

so is the 8700

[prime jasper]

@pine jasper scarcity

[storm osprey]

things are the same price now due to supply and demand

[mild bough]

can you have sli with cpus?

[prime jasper]

no...thats not how it works

[mild bough]

it would be cool

[prime jasper]

boards with multiple cpu sockets are a thing

[pine jasper]

Lmao cpu’s working in sli

[prime jasper]

and dont need fancy software

[pine jasper]

Imagine

[mild bough]

imagine dragons

how much you guys think rtx 2080ti gonna cost on black friday?

[pine jasper]

I am confusion

[mild bough]

i am river phoenix

[pine jasper]

1200 dollars rn. 1150 on black friday 🙂

[mild bough]

wow

so not worth it

[pine jasper]

Jk idk. Might be lower. Keep your eye on it on black friday and cyber monday

[supple bane]

didnt you just buy a 2060 or something ?

[mild bough]

i want a new gpu so i can play minecraft with good shaders

2070

[supple bane]

so why do you want a 2080ti?

[mild bough]

since its better

[pine jasper]

I play minecraft with seus shaders and umsoea textures on 100+ frames with a 2060

[supple bane]

yeah get a new cpu not gpu

also you need a new fucking monitor first

[mild bough]

idk why but i get so little fps with seus shaders

[pine jasper]

What’s your cpu @mild bough

[mild bough]

I7-8700

i want ryzen

soo bad

[supple bane]

he has a 60hz monitor tho

[pine jasper]

And gpu?

[mild bough]

rtx 2070

[pine jasper]

Oof 60hz

[supple bane]

so there is exactly 0 point getting a new gpu

becuase you wont see any improvement at all

[pine jasper]

Bro you dont need to upgrade shit

[mild bough]

i want to

[storm osprey]

needs to upgrade monitor

[prime jasper]

yup

[pine jasper]

Yea

When i just got my 144hz monitor i was just sitting in the desktop just moving my mouse around for 10 minutes cuz it was so smooth

[mild bough]

i want 2550x1440 or whatever its called

244hz

[pine jasper]

244hz xD

[mild bough]

240*

[pine jasper]

And isnt it 2560x1440

[mild bough]

idk

i said whatever so i am not sure

[pine jasper]

Yeye

[storm osprey]

for your specs i would go 1440p and 144hz

[mild bough]

ok i do that

[storm osprey]

unless youre trying to be a pro gamer 240hz imo is a waste

[mild bough]

i am gonna buy displayport monitor

mine is hdmi

so fucked up

[supple bane]

all monitors are display port

[prime jasper]

incorrect

[mild bough]

Not mine

[supple bane]

well give or take

[pine jasper]

And monitor that is 144hz and higher should cone with a displayport in the box

[supple bane]

all modern one are

[storm osprey]

most modern monitors

[prime jasper]

nowadays any freesync/gsync is yes

[supple bane]

no i would say all modern monitors

maybe not older ones

[mild bough]

Mine aint no modern

2015 model

[supple bane]

and there is nothing wrong with hdmi

[storm osprey]

anything that isnt a basic 60hz monitor likely has displayport

[mild bough]

it is

it fucks up with my gpu

[supple bane]

what?

[pine jasper]

Adaptive sync doesnt work on hdmi

[supple bane]

true,

[mild bough]

you know that color issue i had? Where black stuff got like purple and green

[supple bane]

yeah

[mild bough]

i still have it

[pine jasper]

Wat

[supple bane]

and your point

[mild bough]

I bought an adapter

my point is that the monitor is fucking old

[pine jasper]

Are you using like one of those 50 dollar dell monitors

[mild bough]

asys

idk what one but its old aff

[supple bane]

you really need a new monitor

dont even think about any new hardware before you change that

[prime jasper]

lmao my monitor is a dell...1440p/144hz

[storm osprey]

s2716dg?!

[pine jasper]

@prime jasper wasnt talking about your monitor, was i?

[prime jasper]

yes @storm osprey

[mild bough]

lol

[prime jasper]

its pretty comfy

[storm osprey]

s2716dg master race!

[supple bane]

350 pound

not bad

[prime jasper]

lol anti-rgb gaymer cool master race

[pine jasper]

Gaymer

[supple bane]

yeah boi

[pine jasper]

LULW

[supple bane]

well

anti gay pride at least colouring

if it all matches and it doesnt flash

[mild bough]

rgb is tradh

[supple bane]

then its cool

[mild bough]

trash*

waste of money

[pine jasper]

LMAO what do you mean rgb is trash

Wtf

[mild bough]

people spend more money on the looks of the pc

[prime jasper]

you pay extra for monitors with rgb syncing crap

[mild bough]

Rather the functionality

[storm osprey]

rgb doesnt add anything but flair

its literally a waste of money

[supple bane]

i got my cooler for 50% off, but its rgb

forgive me daddy

[mild bough]

monitors with rgb is nice since i dont want black and white

[pine jasper]

I spent more money than i should have on my pc cuz i wanted to make sure im getting the quality, and good looking parts

[supple bane]

40 pound for a 240mm aio

[mild bough]

but pc parts with rgb is yuck

[supple bane]

like i said, if it all matches, go ahead

[pine jasper]

Nah just cuz u cant afford them dont mean they suck 🙂

[storm osprey]

i dont mind the looks of rgb, i just dont like putting money into it

[mild bough]

i can afford them

[prime jasper]

noctua exists for those who prefer darkness

[supple bane]

erm

[mild bough]

i cam

can*

[pine jasper]

Sounds really emo to me @prime jasper

[prime jasper]

poopy brown is quite emo

[storm osprey]

just because you can afford colors doesnt mean they dont suck in terms of performance (since they literally add none)

[mild bough]

yeah that is why they are a waste of money

[pine jasper]

Rgb is 20% extra performance tho..?!?!?!

[storm osprey]

what is this need for speed?

adding underglow gives hp

[mild bough]

wait

what rgb are you talking about aspect

[supple bane]

@mild bough yet you want to upgrade from a 2070 to a 2080ti with a 60hz monitor

talking of a waste of money

[mild bough]

idc

My money

[supple bane]

just because its your money doesnt mean its the right thing to do with it

[pine jasper]

@supple bane lmao i love you

[mild bough]

true

but then again

my money my rules

[prime jasper]

lets meet in the middle at 4k/60

[storm osprey]

thats fine, youre just wasting it with hardware upgrades with that monitor

thats all we are telling you and if you want to waste money go ahead

[mild bough]

yeah or 720p and 1000hz

[prime jasper]

oof

[supple bane]

the eye stops seeing improvements at around 240hz so anything past that would be pointless

[mild bough]

it looks fun getting old in 2060

being like «in my days, we had 150 fps on battlefield»

and everyone has like 100 000 fps with 40k monitors

no holograms

[stiff harness]

@supple bane You’re getting diminishing returns by 240hz

It’s a difference of like 2ms per frame between 165hz and 240hz

[pine jasper]

Is 144hz the most popular for gaming

[supple bane]

yeah

[stiff harness]

Probably.

[supple bane]

its a good price to performance

[stiff harness]

There are some affordable 144hz monitors

The question of performance is “can I hit 144?”

[pine jasper]

Imagine gettin 144hz monitor but u can just get 60fps omegalul

[storm osprey]

imagine having a pc that can push 4k but you have a 60hz 1080p monitor

[pine jasper]

OOF

[stiff harness]

Some really intensive games that I can’t hit 110-120fps in, I’ll cap around 70-80 with nvidia inspector and just max them out

Arkham Knight, for instance.

Shit port.

[pine jasper]

@stiff harness what are your specs

[stiff harness]

GTX 1080 Ti
Ryzen 3700X @ stock (just got it)
16GB DDR4 @ 3200MHz
ASUS TUF Plus x570 motherboard

[pine jasper]

Oh nais

[stiff harness]

And I run off an NVME SSD, a standard SSD, and a hybrid mechanical

I have a 165hz gsync monitor. Cost me a pretty penny, but it’s worth it.

Frames > resolution, IMO

[summer comet]

^^^^

I agree so much on that

[pine jasper]

Yea i agree on that too

[stiff harness]

I play more competitive games than solo shit anyway. frame ghosting bothers me too much

[summer comet]

i7-9700K @ stock
32GB DDR4 @ 3200mhz
GTX 1060 6GB
ASUS TUF Z-390 Pro Gaming

[pine jasper]

Same. Rainbow six siege, cs:go. All these competitive fps games need higher frames than a higher resolution imo

[stiff harness]

The res helps which is why it’s also 1440p

[fallen harbor]

i wish bf games werent so much cpu demanding

[summer comet]

I play all my games on low with mesh and terrain? at Ultra

[stiff harness]

Wow Vecc, that’s a killer CPU and RAM to pair with that GPU.

You’ve got a huge GPU bottleneck

[pine jasper]

I have an i5-9600k running on stock speed (3.7-4.6) with a 2060 and i play most of my games on the highest setting and im able to get 144fps

[summer comet]

Yeah, just upgraded the CPU/RAM, working on saving up for the GPU now

[fallen harbor]

i play every shooter game on lowest possible settings to get the least input lag possible

[storm osprey]

i cant have low textures

thats the only thing i always have on ultra

[pine jasper]

I hate low textures it looks so bad

[storm osprey]

thankfully texture dont hit performance too bad

[stiff harness]

Consider an RTX super GPU @summer comet

[summer comet]

2080ti is hella expensive so I'm putting money aside to save up for it

[stiff harness]

Or... that

[pine jasper]

Lmao

[stiff harness]

The 2070 Super is $400 and is equivalent to the 2080

[pine jasper]

I got my 2060 before the super RTX gpus came out

[fallen harbor]

super? is it actually called super?

[pine jasper]

Yea

[fallen harbor]

what are the super rtx?

[stiff harness]

Ye

[pine jasper]

So like 2060 super, 2070 super etc..

[fallen harbor]

im confuso

whats the difference between ti and super

or is it the same

[stiff harness]

Super cards are slightly downclocked versions of the next card up in the tier

[summer comet]

Honestly, I went and got one of the top CPUs and a bunch of ram so I kinda wanna go for the 2080ti, I have considered a 2070 super but idk

[storm osprey]

the same difference between non ti and ti

[stiff harness]

2060 Super = 2070

[fallen harbor]

ah okay

[stiff harness]

2070 Super = 2080

[storm osprey]

its just a naming convention

[stiff harness]

But for around half the cost

Ti = Titanium

Super = Super

lmao

[fallen harbor]

lol

[stiff harness]

“Remember, mono means one, and rail means rail!”

[pine jasper]

2070 Ti super 😂

[summer comet]

I see the 2070 super(s) are anywhere from $500-$550ish

[stiff harness]

Anyway yeah the Super series is basically budget level high end GPUs for a lower cost

@summer comet Inflation. They MSRP for $400 but it’s a very popular card RN

On-par with the GTX 970 fever back in 2014-15

[storm osprey]

why get a 2070 super when 5700xt exists

[fallen harbor]

what do RTX and GTX stand for

and why are amd model names so confusing

[stiff harness]

Geforce... TX?

Ray Tracing... X?

[fallen harbor]

lel

[supple bane]

i heard it stands for graphical technology extreme

and ray tracing extreme

[storm osprey]

i just looked it up and didnt find anything conclusive

[stiff harness]

Xtreeeeeme

[supple bane]

just something i heard a very long time ago tho, so dont quote me

[stiff harness]

IIRC it means nothing

[storm osprey]

one person said its random naming like cars picking model names

[stiff harness]

It just looks cool

[storm osprey]

g's, t's, x's

they just seem cool

[supple bane]

the only brand with decent naming schemes is amd

their cpus are names simply and easy to understand

[storm osprey]

then enters the 5700 and 5700xt

[fallen harbor]

idk man anything amd looks more complicated than intel or nvidia

[summer comet]

^

[supple bane]

really ?

[storm osprey]

neither make sense honestly

[supple bane]

i disagree with that

[storm osprey]

and at least amd doesnt come out with super and ti variants at random

[supple bane]

their last 3 numbers stay the same. and the first represents which generation it is

1600, 2600, 3600

etc

1700, 2700, 3700

[summer comet]

okay well that's nvidia anyways

[storm osprey]

intel and amd cpu naming is basically the same

[supple bane]

yeah but like nyphon said, they come out with random ti's and schemes

[summer comet]

I don't think ti's are random...

[supple bane]

yeah but its more complicted

[summer comet]

It's the top card for each level, simple

[supple bane]

the whole idea of this was that amd names are simple

[summer comet]

2070ti, top level 2070; 2080ti, top level 2080

[storm osprey]

there isnt a 2070ti though

even though there was a 1070ti

but now we have a 2070 super

[prime jasper]

R9 FURY XXXTREME

[storm osprey]

the different is about the same

[summer comet]

oh shit lol I'm dumb xD

It was easy for the 10 series of GPUs by Nvidia

[storm osprey]

the simplest series was 9 series

iirc they only had the launch models and thats it

every other generation has had a "refresh" somewhere in the line up

[supple bane]

another thing, the 1660 was completly ridiculous. and before they had always gone up in 100's. 600, 700, 900 etc

now their going up in 1000's

and what happened to 800 series ?

[storm osprey]

yea, nvidia probably has the most confusing naming system

[silent steppe]

Intel i7 4820k
16 GB of ddr3 (1866 mhz)
120 GB ssd
1tb hdd
Gtx 1060

good for 250$?

[prime jasper]

do you mean a 5820k?

[silent steppe]

no

[prime jasper]

oh nvm, forgot they had those in that gen

[silent steppe]

also has a liquid cooler on cpu

[prime jasper]

its decent yeah, dont expect to max this game out there

[silent steppe]

well im buying to flip it

[storm osprey]

comes with case, psu and os right?

[silent steppe]

yea

its an alien ware so probably buy my own case to sell it

[storm osprey]

idk how much you can get out of it, but i wouldnt blink at 250 to keep it

[silent steppe]

aight

i think i could do like 500$~ for it on craigslist if i get a new case

im just hustlin my old tech on CL and marketplace to save up for a 1080 platformed pc

[slate rivet]

I need to get a alienware

might treat myself for my birthday

[supple bane]

why alien ware tho ?

[storm osprey]

build yourself

almost always

theres been very few pre built deals that i would consider worth it

[slate rivet]

it's easy and prebuilt

i don't have the time to build my own

[supple bane]

but also almost always a bad deal

[slate rivet]

the price is fine for me

[supple bane]

scan is a good place to get prebuilts from btw

as you live in the uk

[slate rivet]

i'm Uk

oh

thanks for the heads up

DM me it please i will forget

[supple bane]

ill dm you some decent deals

[slate rivet]

thanks buddy

[supple bane]

whats your budget ?

[silent steppe]

i think for 250$

ill spend like 20$ and get a new case

and list for 600$ OBO

[slate rivet]

£800

roughly

[storm osprey]

the time it takes to actually build a pc the first time is like 2 hours

[slate rivet]

id rather game lol

don't want to build PCs.. it's my job

[storm osprey]

once you build a few a new build takes like 45 minutes to an hour

i just hate how pre builts state specs at face value

[sour ivy]

alienware 😿

[storm osprey]

they will say i7, gtx 1080 and 16gb of ram

[sour ivy]

of course

[supple bane]

thats the link i sent squid

[prime jasper]

3200g? yeesh pass

[sour ivy]

big pass

[storm osprey]

to find out the i7 isnt unlocked, with a stock cooler, the 1080 is a single fan that is super cheap, the ram is a single stick of 2600mhz ram

mb is a micro atx and cheap AF, psu is d tier

i honestly want to build pcs for people as long as they pay for parts and shipping

[supple bane]

yeah i find it relaxing

[storm osprey]

its fun to do, but more that i dont want people wasting money

[supple bane]

its like adults lego

[fallen harbor]

i trust some day i will do commissions daily and get rich and afford a super high end pc

[sour ivy]

[fallen harbor]

dont give me that cheeky look

[supple bane]

fiesty

[sour ivy]

[supple bane]
