Can anyone help me with stutter?
Also dx12 just doesn't work
infinite loading screen
prime jasper
infinite loading screen and stutter are totally different things lol
native hatch
ik lol
in dx12 the game just doesnt load
and then in dx11 I get a lot of stutter
ofc idk about dx12 stutter cos I haven't played it on dx12 yet but I imagine it would probably be the same
prime jasper
alot depends on your specs
native hatch
ik
My CPU is slightly above recommended so I thought it would be fine and GPU is rx570 8gb so That is also fine
cpu is 2200g
8gb of ram
I'm upgrading everything soon
but for now it would be nice to be able to play it lol
storm osprey
dont open chrome
indigo glacier
Guys, i have a problem after the update.. I updated BF5 and when i start the game, its simply close it self..
prime jasper
even worse if its single channel
native hatch
yeah, tbh I'm upgrading in a few months anyway
nah dual channel
I'm gonna get 5700xt and 3700x and 16gb of ram
storm osprey
hot damn thats a build right there
prime jasper
yeah thats a small bump lol
storm osprey
if that comes up again, get 3600 and not 3600x
native hatch
Think I'm just gonna get 3700x
Cause I do a lot of rendering in CAD and Inventor
and Blender lol
royal star
so, is there any fix to leveling up and not unlocking weapons?
im assault level 10, but im missing weapons that should had unlocked since level 7
im also private first class level 16 and should had the valentine and flakpanzer tanks as well as bleinhein and bf109 airplanes but all are locked
brazen oracle
good
novel basin
Is that a good combo?
brazen oracle
if u want a few more fps and cooler temps get a cpu cooler too
one that comes in the box is good enough but ur cpu will run at like 3.8ghz
novel basin
I’ll see if I can fit it in my budget
brazen oracle
idc bout the xtra fps but the cooler temps will help the cpu last longer
got a hyper212 black
have a 3600 myself
novel basin
Alright
storm osprey
@novel basin region?
novel basin
I live in the US
storm osprey
i would personally get 3600, stay with stock cooler and stretch towards a 5700
supple bane
friend has an issue. his mic is detected, in everything. but is like super quiet and hard to activate. he told me he un-installed realtek audio console. ive looked and he has all of his levels on max
anyone have any ideas
and if uninstalling realtek audio console was bad
storm osprey
do you have a sound card or external amp/dac?
supple bane
no
prime jasper
test the mic in a different machine
supple bane
he has
done it in his phone. works fine
he has used multiple mics too
like i said, the mic works but he has to shout into it
and even then its super quiet
prime jasper
try some mic boost
supple bane
its on max
storm osprey
if there is no other dac in the system i dont see why anyone would uninstall it
the only time i hear of uninstalling an audio driver is when you have another one and dont want the other to interfere
supple bane
see this is where it gets confusing
he has installed the driver off msi's website but there is no way for him to open it
supple bane
its just like it doesnt exist
storm osprey
yea thats how i reinstalled my realtek audio when my soundcard died
supple bane
should there be like a ui to this driver ?
storm osprey
used the drivers off my mb and clicked installed
prime jasper
have him try MSI liveupdate
prime jasper
yes
latent light
@novel basin 1660 Super is only like 3% slower than the 1660Ti but also costs $50 less

supple bane
is there anything else he can try @prime jasper
prime jasper
idk besides making sure hes on the latest windows build too
prime jasper
you can also use DDU to completely wipe the drivers and start over
storm osprey
reinstalling might help
i mean, theres no guarantee that deleting the driver is the problem
could be a bad dac/amp
bad port
supple bane
you can hear him. it is just so unbelievably quiet
storm osprey
does he have another jack?
supple bane
and he has tried front and rear IO
storm osprey
hes not using a 2 to 1 is he?
supple bane
well atm he doesnt have a splitter or anything. so he is just using ear buds into the mic jack and headphones in the audio jack
storm osprey
uhhhh... weird
so hes using a 2 to 1 set up but just plugging it into the mic jack?
supple bane
yeah
storm osprey
because he is using headphones in the audio jack
yea i have no idea if that would cause problems either
supple bane
im gonna go down to his and give him a splitter and see if it helps tommorow.
storm osprey
atm you have 3 variables that could be the problem
no drivers, could be bad soundcard, and have a less than ideal set up
prime jasper
the 1st variable is that you are taking advice from an abstract drawing of a cat on the internet
supple bane
atm he has all of his mic gains on max. i have him on 200% and he is practically eating his mic its that close to his mouth and its some what understandable
@storm osprey he doesnt have a sound card tho
if non of this works he is just gonna have to take it to the local pc shop and see if they can help
prime jasper
return it and get a USB connected one
storm osprey
you leave this abstract cat alone
prime jasper
well thats what I would try anyway
prime jasper
lel
supple bane
well i will take my mic tommorow too. see if that works
storm osprey
usb mic would bypass all those problems i noted
supple bane
ok then so thats the next port of call
storm osprey
personally i would take a dedicated 3.5mm mic to test
supple bane
dont have one. i have headsets
is that what you mean ?
or like a stand alone mic that uses 3.5
storm osprey
something that uses a mic and has a dedicated cable for it
not a 2 to 1
i dont think thats likely the problem, but its 1 area of concern
supple bane
yeah neither of us have that
i only have splitters
i personally think its a driver issue
but i dont know much about drivers
and i wouldnt know what he would need to do to reinstall them
storm osprey
normally its just downloading the drivers online or using the disc that came with the mb and clicking the appropriate buttons
supple bane
well he has an msi b450 tomahawk max. could you link me what he would need to download
prime jasper
the liveupdate tool I mentioned works with all msi boards
supple bane
he is too woried to do that
which is understanable
becuase it seems sketchy to me too
he is too woried to do that
prime jasper
bro its explained on their site lol
its not some shady tool made in your moms basement
supple bane
well lets just leave that to a last resort for now
not much else we can try tonight.

Has anyone succesfully changed the LED's to a diffrent color of a 2080ti founders edition? 
latent light
if you modify it to, you void the warranty
molten coral
From what I've read online the LEDs are RGB but Nvidia locked it down so was just wondering
latent light
yeah they are RGB
@molten coral in EVGA Precision X1 software I found out I can turn the LED off, change the brightness, or even make it breathe in the settings, but cannot change the color
brazen oracle
i only use rgb if i dont need software for it
i hate installing bloat on my machine
i even got a ethernet adapter bcuz i didnt want to use a wifi usb adaptor with netgears software runnin in the background all the time
lofty light
They've probably not got part of the RGB hardware
brazen oracle
hyper 212 comes with a nice rgb controller though. ordered one of those. gona set it to green just like my mouse and keyboard and forget about it
latent light
@molten coral after research, it looks like you actually can't change the colors of the LEDs even with a modified BIOS
brazen oracle
gigabyte cards r the way to go tbh
if u want controllable rgb
id say asus is a decent option too but they charge too much of a premium for their strix models
brazen oracle
for overall, i dont really mind , id go with any board partner
none of em are "bad"
if they were bad then nvidia wudnt work with em
if a card is "bad" , noisy, fails alot, etc its gona reflect bad on nvidia too. not just the manufacturer
lofty light
Reason I like EVGA is their warranty support
latent light
yeah best customer service
heard they replace defective cards without questioning you about the problems

I just hate the look of their RTX 2000 series cards

TSMC is set to move to its 5nm lithography process, and reports are claiming that it's yields are already better than today's 7nm node, having already passed 50%.
prime jasper
Yes
latent light
yes
river wyvern
I want to spend below $1200
Anyway 5nm is just 7nm+
Just like the leap from 14nm to 12nm
Node side doesn't matter much
opaque saddle
Why don’t you pair a 3700 with a more powerful GPU?
latent light
the difference between 7nm and 5nm is bigger than 14nm and 7nm
about 80% difference in density as a matter of fact
but 80% more density doesn't mean 80% more power
TSMC's current engineering samples of 5nm technology is 15% faster with 30% lower power consumption than 7nm. A second version of 5nm, with EUV, is due next year and is reported to be 7% faster than the first 5nm sample.
AMD will make the jump from 7nm EUV (2020) to 5nm EUV (2021)
7nm EUV (Ryzen 4000) will show little IPC gains and decreased power consumption but will mostly improve on clock speeds compared to 7nm (Ryzen 3000), may even see 5 GHz for the first time on Ryzen without LN2
@river wyvern I recommend getting a MSI B450 MAX motherboard
supports 3rd gen out of box
plus has a bigger BIOS memory chip than other B450 or X470 boards
the reason many 300 or 400 series users were having problems with Ryzen 3000 is because the ROM size on the boards weren't enough
MSI 400 series MAX motherboards have 32MB BIOS ROMs which is significantly more and should have great support with even the future 4th gen
as for RX 5700 XT, I'd either get the Gigabyte Gaming OC or the Sapphire Pulse
both are great deals but Gamers Nexus did say the Gigabyte is the best value for thermals period
since the Gigabyte 5700XT is sold out, it's not showing the price for it currently
latent light
$80 for a 850w gold fully modular

the sapphire one costs about the same but gets slightly worse temperatures

mighty rune
hey guys, i have a "small" problem.
I dont know how or why this is happening but ive been enjoying pacific theatre so far and I rarely had small performance issues (if one disregards the constantly broken sound)
Yesterday I played with solid 50-60fps and no frame drops
Nothing changed at all and today my pc doesnt seem to want to hit over 20 fps
I have gtx 970 and i5 2nd generation
Could it be that nvidia is making the 900 series worse so that people buy new graphix cards for christmas
supple bane
no hahah
im suprised you even get 50 fps with those specs if im being honest. but could be thousands of things
have you updated your drivers ?
mild bough
@mighty rune Why would Nvidia make Graphics Cards intentionally worse?

yup up to date

It lags again
its because of the stupid update
It worked perfectly before if it doesnt go away soon ill ask for a refund

wow since the update i mostly get killed immediately when spawning, havent won a single round
why the hell dont they want to implement a team balance
and also why do stupid missions like revive 35 squadmates exist
My squadmates either always get revived befdore i can get to them or i get killed by a plane during the process

Hi guys, I'm sick of the problem with ping. Recently, constantly high ping. I live in the Far East in the city of Vladivostok. In Japan, it should be 35ms, and in the game 135 + ms, in Russia instead of 120ms (150-180ms). Hong Kong 136ms instead of 50ms. With European servers the same problem. I am in despair, it is impossible to play (. And such a problem in all Battlefield (1-3-4-5) Someone scold i3D.net))
brazen oracle
g pro wireless is good but not everyone wants to spend 100$ on a mouse 
rigid knoll
Ye, it's not exactly a good investment
brazen oracle
100$ gets u 32gb of ram or a 1 tb ssd these days 👀

So, is anyone else having the problem where you press play but the game doesn’t open? It just cuts back to the origins menu?

@grand steeple if you want mouse recommendations im open, but ill probably ask a lot of questions

hand size, grip, what games do you play, any necessities like extra buttons, and what mice have you used before that you liked?

if u just want something that works and is light, get Model O

they are coming out with the model d, which is an ergo mouse

that means the model o gets a price cut 👀

@molten bramble because I want to build a pc for both gaming and pen testing. To he able to play BF and use the valve index, also practice my pen testing
So if anyone does do pen testing, and game on their same pc, I'd like to know the route I should go regarding parts.
molten bramble
You don't need special hardware for pen-testing. 
If you're looking at hardware hacking of components, then you should look at investing in a test-bench setup instead.
It's basically a barebones system with a mounting platform, without a case for the ultimate accessibility--see Linus TechTips feeds on Youtube, he uses them all the time.
violet plank
you don't do pen testing with windows
get kali if you wanna learn a bit
if you know your way around in linux
else,wasted time imo
molten bramble
Kali has pre-packaged toolsets, but you need to understand the fundamentals of code, network resources, hardware, memory, etc. prior to moving into it. Pointing something at a target and telling it to do it's thing isn't pen-testing.
violet plank
yep
molten bramble
I would agree that some flavor of *nix would be beneficial.
violet plank
iirc kali is illegal in some country's,so careful with that aswell
well pen testing is in most country's 😛
if you go for public networks
or gov
best hacking tool is still a phone and a stupid person on the other end 
keen prism
Well between amd and Intel, Intel is more for gaming and amd more for multitasking. So I'm trying to figure out what would be the right direction for the CPU. I'm going to just install virtual box and use a kali vm
There is a site called hackthebox where they have machines, challenges, labs, all ranging in difficulty. To be able to join you have to essentially "hack" more or less your way in. They have different types of challenges too
I have a list of parts I can share with you guys, I'm trying to build my pc soon
violet plank
you only will notice a difference with intel if you game on 1080p or lower in 144++hz
even then,if you apply all security patches for the holes,not much left up to amd
and there are a lot of sec holes left that intel just can't patch out

1ms response time is a lie bcuz no pc can do that

It's a UI download bug

Depends whether you need the extra cores
6 core is all you need for just gaming, but there's other stuff that can use the 8
warped sun
Pretty similar in terms of performance in game just difficult deciding between the two
2700x slightly cheaper comes with 2 games.
lofty light
You're looking at slightly less gaming perf, so again comes down to if you need the cores for some kind of production workload or want the games
If they're good games you were going to buy anyway then it's cheaper effectively
gentle lantern
how am i ment to restart the game when all i can do is quit

Should be able to quit then reopen?

yeah thats not working

3600 no doubt, unless you badly need those 2 games.

@warped sun if your gonna stream go with the 2700x if not go with the 3600. when streaming the 2700x will get more fps and better performance on the stream than the 3600.

I would, but right now I can't, because the Laptop is not ready installed now.

low settings at 1080p will be a stretch for that mx150
its not a gaming gpu
turn it to 720p and u might get 60fps
cpu and ram is fine
and windows shud be on an ssd already no matter if ur gamin or not
@raw ice
raw ice
Windows is on a SSD. But the game will be installed on an external hard drive with USB 3.0 because the Laptop is not private.
Oh and the display has 1440p
brazen oracle
yeah u def cant use mx150 at 1440p
even entry level gpus these days are like 250% faster than mx150 , im talkin gtx 1650 , rx 570 that sorta thing
but those r desktop cards
id try 720p and u just might break 60fps
dire star
Update! I'm now running only one thread per core. stock speed is 3.2Ghz, I'm at 4,12Ghz. Aiming to beat the 15th best on cpu-z benchmarks with 4,6Ghz
dire star
Numbers are fun 😄
brazen oracle
🙄
dire star
I mean, its a 2010 cpu sooo
dire star
lmao
If I burn the cpu it doesnt really matter. I can get a new one used for 20$ anyway haha
It's amazing how the multiplier is supposed to be locked tho :p
raw ice
@brazen oracle Hm. CS:GO on ultra settings runs on 1440p perfectly
brazen oracle
csgo is easy to run though
u could run that on integreated graphics
all the game needs to do is render in some buildings thats it
keen prism
I have a network question
brazen oracle
ok
wraith plinth
FFS how broken is battlefield V. I now have locked guns on every class that just say they will be unlocked next round. WELL THE NEVER FUCKING UNLOCK. Jesus christ DICE how could you fuck this up
wtf am i supposed to do
storm osprey
wait
keen prism
The workaround is to play in practice mode with those guns
It should unlock them
Or to "mark all as read"
Don't go into the actual class itself just mark everything as read
Anyways my question is like actual networking not like game related
true stirrup
@keen prism shoot
lets see what you want to ask
and also. the workaround is a one off thing
if you get a cant fetch your report. its over
keen prism
One sec someone just called me
keen prism
Ok so does anyone know much about baud rate?
true stirrup
@keen prism I've taken networks but nothing regarding stuff like baud rate. That's more electrical engo stuff
keen prism
Well like back in the 90s a modem was suing like a 28.8kbps modem
This means it can send or receive obviously 28.8k bits per second. That standard was 3200 baud, since it sent 3200 distinct symbols per second, but each symbol could carry 9 bits of data
Is there a way to figure how much baud rate for how ever many kbps or mbps , as well as how many bits of data each symbol sends over the modem?
storm osprey
@royal oriole lets take conversation here
royal oriole
I plan on getting a 2070 super
storm osprey
do you stream, do production or only game?
@fossil lichen have convo here
if only gaming, technically you wont need a better cpu since you are gpu dependent
fossil lichen
yeah mostly
royal oriole
I don't plan on editing
storm osprey
streaming?
royal oriole
Maybe in the future
fossil lichen
that monitor
royal oriole
Rn I just want a good gameplay
fossil lichen
ROG Strix XG32VQ Curved Gaming Monitor – 32 inch WQHD (2560x1440), 144Hz, Aura Sync, Adaptive-Sync(FreeSync™),125% sRGB color space
fossil lichen
yeah 2070 super with that monitor you'd get good option and no lag
storm osprey
you want that monitor?
royal oriole
Mhm
fossil lichen
I don't recommend that monitor, not saying that's bad I just don't know about that monitor. I can't say anything
but
royal oriole
How do I tell if a certain monitor would work with the graphics card I want
fossil lichen
expect some lag, since no matter how your pc is good the serverlag is unavoidable
storm osprey
they will all work
just depends on what kind of adaptive sync they have
even though amd and nvidia are being lenient with that lately
fossil lichen
they will all work right mostly, it's about some monitors are stupidly overpriced without reason
storm osprey
to simplify, freesync works with amd and gsync works with nvidia
theres a lot more to that though
fossil lichen
and some company are just making better monitor, like accurate colour... more reliable.. etc.
storm osprey
(asus typically overpriced)
fossil lichen
most of the recent "gaming" monitor support both I guess
I'm fuckin usin 40-inch some supposed-to-be-a-TV or something device as a gaming monitor
storm osprey
if i was buying a monitor right now i would personally go with lg 27gl83a-b
i like bang for buck and this thing stomps
its also freesync and gsync certified
fossil lichen
once you go big you can never go small
royal oriole
Is that Alienware monitor any good
fossil lichen
heard it is overpriced
royal oriole
$318
storm osprey
which alienware?
royal oriole
Alienware 25 gaming monitor
fossil lichen
I... am not comfortable with alien issue, kinda private things. so I'm out
storm osprey
i like to go to rtings for their reviews, very detailed, just draw your own conclusions
storm osprey
are you thinking that 240hz monitor?
fossil lichen
that's a trauma for me
royal oriole
What's the difference between 240hz 155hz, etc..
royal oriole
Ah so higher the better basically
fossil lichen
if your pc can run a game with 200fps but your monitor can't refresh like 200 per second it's wasted
storm osprey
^ not exactly
storm osprey
a 60 hz monitor with more fps will have more options to update with, meaning the most accurate image
shroud and LTT did a video of just this
storm osprey
at 60hz 60fps everyone hated it, he went 60hz unlocked fps (i think it was around 200) and he said it felt way better
storm osprey
4k is overkill imo
depends on monitor size
but still, youre gonna drop a lot of money to keep frames up
storm osprey
most 4k gaming monitors will be expensive
imo sweet spot is 27" 1440p, 144hz with adaptive sync
good PPI at 110
ppi = pixels per inch
royal oriole
I found a nice monitor for $600
storm osprey
its what i play at, and with no AA i dont notice pixels
royal oriole
1440p 1ms 165hz G-sync 27" curved gaming monitor

Is the ViewSonic xg2401 a good monitor input lag sake ?
mild bough
Why does text look unclear on my HTC Vive Pro
well not only text
But like stuff is clear in the middle, but the further up and down it gets more unclear
storm osprey
further towards edges of screen?
mild bough
Yeah
storm osprey
theres lots of things like panel type and lighting type
mild bough
?
storm osprey
TN panels have poor viewing angles so it could be that
mild bough
oh
storm osprey
could also be poorly edge lit
its also a vr headset so could be something with your eyes and thing up close
mild bough
But I also noticed if I lifted my headset up things further down got clear
Vice versa
storm osprey
sounds like your eyesight to me
storm osprey
pfft this beyond me expertise

Oh ok, thanks for the help anyways @storm osprey
storm osprey
@warped sun storage size?
warped sun
Dependant on price, 240 - 500gb
storm osprey
the cheapest i would get was like 45, this is a few bucks more and will at least get the same performance
technically it should be faster on short load times, but its only by a couple of seconds
warped sun
to be fair that is a good price
I couldnt seem to find many deals on at black friday and to be honest im not sure which is good and which is bad with ssd
for around the £50 mark is that the best ssd for the price?
opaque saddle
Depends on whether you want to get nvme or SATA SSD
warped sun
my board supports 2 nvme i think
storm osprey
nvme for gaming will literally gain you on average 2 seconds off loading a game
id only get one if the storage size is the same and its reliable
warped sun
So many ssds to choose from lol confuses me
storm osprey
honestly what i do is just sort by size and cheapest and see what brands i like and research models
but im a bang for buck kind of man
opaque saddle
Personally i will not get QLC SSD or cheap Chinese made SSD
opaque saddle
For normal workload, a SATA SSD (not the budget option) is fast enough to be your system drive
And yeah I picked AMD tho
My previous AMD APU was a phenom II 1045T (6 cores) after switching from Athlon 64.
Been using intel’s 3rd, 4th, 8th and 9th gen CPU since then
latent light
why go to 9th gen from 8th
opaque saddle
Product replacement
Free upgrade tho
My first ever intel CPU. I believed it was Pentium 3
brazen oracle
if u have a fast cpu tht can take advantage of the fast speeds, get nvme
older cpus, nvme or sata ssd wont make a diff
storm osprey
the speed difference would still be a couple of seconds at best
brazen oracle
ye thats true but still if ur spendin like 500$ or more on a cpu
the xtra cost of nvme isnt that significant
i got a 500gb nvme drive on a sale. 44.99$
storm osprey
sure on sale
but could you even justify 10 dollars more for literally 2 seconds?
sure its 10 bucks, thats lunch for me
but is there really a reason to gain 2 seconds
and 2 seconds is generous, just watched a few videos and its mostly within a second of eachother on an 8700k
theres a few times it does go up to 5 seconds, a couple of 10 seconds too
brazen oracle
yeah i do believe every dollar counts. but id rather get a quality drive if im gona use it for boot
for a game drive, id use anything lol
storm osprey
honestly, ssd wise, assuming most specs are the same, i would default to the best warranty
brazen oracle
yeah ppl are too crazy about ssd brands
like ik some ppl that only use samsung
when there are options out there that are FASTER and also cheaper
storm osprey
most specs are the same*
replace that with real life applicable performance for most users being the same
latent light
most cheap NVMe drives aren't that good
storm osprey
for gamers though, they are fine
only thing to truly question is their reliability, hence get a good warranty
i forget if its their read or write or both that are bad after long periods of time, but really, 97% of people dont need to worry about that
and the people that do need to worry about that should already know that
brazen oracle
https://ibb.co/R91cxHD
this the one i got. it looks clean asf
lofty light
The QLC drives are lower lifespan but dirt cheap comparitively
violet plank
QLC are slow af when the cache is full,only good for a dump drive
or read drive
and if iirc the guarantee is only around 150TBW depending on drive size
but if there were any 10TB+ QLC drives,i would buy them in an instant to replace my mechanical dump drives
NAS too
dire star
You know what sucks
when I turn my graphics setttings in bfv up
my gpu stays on 50% usage and my cpu usage goes up to 100% and lags the shit out of the game
prime jasper
at what resolution?
dire star
1920*1080
brazen oracle
bfv is a cpu game so
dire star
These are my specs https://valid.x86.fr/yb3581
latent light
Xeon CPUs have awful latency compared to Core series CPUs
dire star
Well..clearly my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu anyway lol
prime jasper
a 9900k would not work in that board at all lmao
prime jasper
especially at 1080p yes
latent light
he's going to have to get a new CPU, motherboard and DDR4 ram to upgrade
dire star
I think I'm getting an i5 4750K or something, i dont remember what it was called
prime jasper
lol what
dire star
And my xeon wont? :p
latent light
get a Ryzen 5 2600 + B450 motherboard
dire star
Granted its overclocked to 4.5Ghz on all 6 cores but yeeeeeh
prime jasper
and slow ass ddr3
dire star
maybe it was an i7, as i said I cant remember
brazen oracle
overclocking doesnt make as much of a diff as ppl think
and ur chip just runs hotter and will die sooner
its more of a hobby than anything else
opaque saddle
Quad core i5 is a terrible option
dire star
Yeaaah I'm pretty much equivalent to at that Ryzen 5 2600 with my current clock.
prime jasper
no...no you arent lol
dire star
Are you sure?
prime jasper
the IPC and Cache are considerably higher on the ryzen
let alone the much MUCH faster DDR4
brazen oracle
i had a quad core i5-7400 and it did get me 75fps average on bfv but it wasnt smooth, the inputs took longer sometimes and there were microstutters.
6 cores and at least 6 threads is what u need these days
dire star
oh
opaque saddle
I would say your CPU is equivalent to athlon 3000 and 2200G
latent light
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yPqqBb @dire star
CPU + motherboard + 16GB ram for $250
latent light
don't get anything until you can afford something decent
prime jasper
also 88C is awfully high
latent light
getting a 4-core i5 will just make matters worse most likely
prime jasper
I wouldnt want to run that hot, thats not even in a game
prime jasper
but it wont socket in that board
opaque saddle
No
opaque saddle
4790k is quite weak
dire star
Well do I want to go bankrupt? :p
latent light
how much will you buy the i7-4790k for
dire star
I'm buying it cheap off of a friend whos upgrading to a i9 10980xe
brazen oracle
dont cheap out on ur cpu
if u have 150$ or something dont spend it, and save up
dire star
around 50€ I think
latent light
tell your friend the 10980XE is awful
prime jasper
these are the best CPUs that will socket in your board https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=52576,52585
latent light
brazen oracle
only reason to get 1090xe is if u wana flex
and even then it loses to less expensive cpus sometimes
dire star
well it was the 10940X, lol
latent light
any i9 that isn't the 9900K sucks at gaming
dire star
He is not gaming haha
latent light
he should get a threadripper 3960X then
dire star
Does it support 128Gb ddr4?
latent light
it supports 2TB
dire star
wth lol I didnt know you could have that much ram
latent light
you can in threadripper
opaque saddle
Kek
dire star
it has 18 cores
prime jasper
so youre getting a 4790k, mobo, and ram for how much
?
dire star
Hm
opaque saddle
Almost no improvement
latent light
Threadripper 3000 series makes the i9-10980XE so irrelevant
latent light
literally double the performance per dollar
dire star
Anyway, the 4790k with board and 32gigs of ddr4 for 50€ is a good deal right?
latent light
yeah
opaque saddle
Depends
dire star
Or are there any better options for around the same price
prime jasper
ddr3* but yes
opaque saddle
If you’re playing modern AAA Titles. You have to OC it a bit
opaque saddle
What motherboard is it?
dire star
no idea
opaque saddle
Don’t get the one which can’t be oced
dire star
I don't really have a choice, its the package or nothing
Worst case scenario, I'll get another board
opaque saddle
If you’re doing that good luck then
dire star
Ty.
opaque saddle
If I were you I won’t even touch the motherboard
dire star
How come?
opaque saddle
Coz you can’t really get a brand new one tho
dire star
Will the io shield scream at me? 😂
opaque saddle
1150 is obsoleted
dire star
Its...still in stock in stores
opaque saddle
I got a z97 but apparently it was the last one in my nation...
dire star
lol
opaque saddle
I have swapped from a quad core Xeon to a 6 core 3600
latent light
Ryzen 5 3600 is great
opaque saddle
Same gen motherboard as you wanted to get
Regrets
I wished I got 3700x and 2080s tbh
That should last for 5-7 years
dire star
I feel like I just jumped into a conversation where money grows on trees now and then.
latent light
Doubt 2080s will be good in 5 years
opaque saddle
I either play games 10 hours a day, or not playing it for months
opaque saddle
Not 27-30% gains in performance anymore tho
That’s why I went for a more costly option. Then I don’t need to stress about other stuff
latent light
Ampere comes out in less than 6 months and will be on 7nm
There will probably be a GPU with 2080s performance for half the price or even less
opaque saddle
I was the person trying to catch up and refresh the parts every 2 gens
dire star
I looked at the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X
Its like 150% of the price that intel i9 had
I get why hes getting the intel hahaha
opaque saddle
If AMD didn’t release that CPU. I guess we’re still using quad core CPU tho
latent light
3960X is also waaaay faster than the i9-10980xe
opaque saddle
Well it’s expensive isn’t it but
prime jasper
totally reversed over thre then
opaque saddle
You know for content creators, every second counts
latent light
The best value workstation CPU for the money is the Threadripper 2950X
dire star
He isnt a content creator either :&
latent light
2950X is under $700 and has 16 cores
opaque saddle
They are the products’ target customers, and the money they have invested, will get them more money in return
But I just don’t see the point getting a workstation CPU for gaming
latent light
But the Ryzen 9 3950X that's $750 is better than the i9-10980XE that costs over $1000
@dire star tell him to check out the Ryzen 9 3950X
dire star
It's still not going to be for gaming ???
opaque saddle
Or work idk
dire star
But hes not doing any gaming at all haha why get something for gaming?
latent light
It's faster than Intel's 18 core that costs over 30% more
opaque saddle
Tweaks
latent light
Check this video
opaque saddle
Just wondering how many computers do you guys have
latent light
10980XE still cant compete with Ryzen
dire star
:/
latent light
Crazy thing about the 3950X is that the power consumption, despite having 16 cores and 32 threads, is lower than Intel's i9-9900K which has 8 cores and 16 threads
Lol
It's like a Swiss army knife of a CPU
It's remarkable in both workstation and gaming use

Thanks guys, I think then I will just stick with the Cloud cores I have. Just have a hard time locating the sound cues. LIke I can tell someone is around me but I cant separate out the cues for accurate directions
maybe I should upgrade what I am using for a dac, using a FiiO E17K at the moment.
storm osprey
i use onboard dac, that doesnt make much of a difference
i came from a soundcard
and for music ihave an amp/dac
unless the dac is bad it wont really change your sound drastically
the headphones are probably tuned for "fun" sound signature for gaming and not a wide soundstage
sullen finch
I have decent audiophile gear but they dont translate well for gaming
The onboard audio isnt too bad but it distorts more
BFV does Dolby surround sound right? so as long as we have a dac that can decode that, should be good?
feral hull
who here is a pc part techie?
prime jasper
ask and the peanut gallery shall answer
feral hull
what matters to a game to play on high a good cpu or a good graphics card
prime jasper
depends on the game and your target resolution
prime jasper
I havent played the last 2, but that still doesnt tell me the resolution you play at
feral hull
what does that have to do with pc specs...
prime jasper
1080p and below is more cpu bound, 1440p and above is gpu bound
feral hull
most off my games is 1280 or 1380
prime jasper
Im not sure what resolution that would be, unless you are saying 1280x1024
feral hull
well i don't know resolutions so
prime jasper
thats quite important to answer your question lol
storm osprey
those 3 games are pretty intensive..
prime jasper
and also on different engines among other differences

have you checked pcpartspicker to cross check prices? I have no idea whats good in your area

also my counsin is gonna give hes RX 580 8Gb 256bit to me
my dude evetech is south african
can't by in dollars

do ya think an rx 5700 and an r5 2600 would run on a 550w psu ?
ppp is estimating 350w usage. so that gives 200w breathing room ?

yes
prime jasper
official psu recommendation is 600w so probably would work
latent light
anything will work with even a 450w psu except maybe a Radeon VII or RTX Titan

450w gold would work
