I'm having issues with bfv
i can't get above 60 fps and i have a beefy setup, my friend with a 970 gets better fps than I do on same settings
is a i7-6700k a bottleneck for a zotac 1080 amp extreme
prime jasper
i have them on and latest drivers
game is acting like its locked on 60 fps even though it isnt
storm osprey
do you have vsync on somewhere? in game or through control panel?
storm osprey
yeps
prime jasper
i can't raise it above that
mild bough
My friend just got his pc, and he says he cant connect it to the router since "the pc cant use wireless"
so uh
true?
prime jasper
@storm osprey im checking the drivers, iirc its 144hz
storm osprey
@mild bough computers dont support wireless by default unless the mb he bought specifically said it has built in wifi
mild bough
Oh okay
storm osprey
otherwise you have to get an adapter of sorts
mild bough
But my friend is so ducking stupid he have no idea how to check for his specs or anything
storm osprey
ask him model for MB
mild bough
so this will be a tough time to make him find his mobo
yeah but he doesnt even know what monitor resolution is
astral merlin
Is his PC prebuilt
storm osprey
ehhh, he should have a list of his components somewhere at least
mild bough
yeah wilhelm
astral merlin
Surely he has the box somewhere
mild bough
nvm you can find it by using cmd
or the hacker packer coding program
that is built into windows
storm osprey
you trust him using cmd?
astral merlin
You could ask him to check his BIOS when he boots up his PC
mild bough
he used cmd then he types
wmic baseboard get product,manufacturer,version,serialnumber
Bios? Are you mad that would be like learning a new language in a day for this guy
Well you dont know him so you couldnt know my bad 🙂
astral merlin
To be fair I just built my PC yesterday so I too am getting used to it. But that’s how I would check my mobo. Or does he not have the box that his prebuilt PC came in
Surely the components would be listed in there
mild bough
he barely knows how to use safari
i dont think he is capable of going into a box and read the information
wait a miracle
he tries to follow the tutorial i sent him
When I find out what motherboard he has, can you guys check if it has wifi support?
astral merlin
Sure
prime jasper
@storm osprey just checked, my RAM is bottlenecking my game
i have 12gb of 2133 mhz
mild bough
16gb 3200mhz
prime jasper
should i get dual channel or quad
mild bough
This is out of my expertise but I would get dual
storm osprey
iirc memory speed isnt that important to intel
mild bough
its nice to not have a slow ass ram tho @storm osprey
prime jasper
aslso my mobo specs say it supports 2133mhz of ram stock, and anything higher is overclock speed. if i get ram that has a stock clock of those, would it work
so if i got 3200mhz
does that make sense?
astral merlin
anything higher than 2133mhz is overclocking??? I feel that’s too slow
storm osprey
yea im looking at a video for ram speeds and difference is a few fps max
prime jasper
3866(O.C.)/3733(O.C.)/3600(O.C.)/3466(O.C.)/3400(O.C.)/3333(O.C.)/3300(O.C.)/3200(O.C.)/3000(O.C.)/2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2133 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
thats what it says
prime jasper
its an asus tuf z270 mk 1
mild bough
cool
prime jasper
me neither
mild bough
not common
storm osprey
ive never delved too deep into this but ram can OC but you mb has to support it as well
prime jasper
bet
storm osprey
so if you get 2133 rated ram you probably shouldnt expect 3200 OC out of it
but your MB could do it
BUT like i said, the video i just watched shows the two speeds performing close to each other in games
also, your ram might be rated higher, you just need to turn on XMP in your bios
prime jasper
got it
prime jasper
i have shitty ram anyways, looking to upgrade
its geil, and one of my 4 chips already failed
o shit
u right
prime jasper
i was looking at some corsair vengance lpx but its expensive
astral merlin
Try HyperX Predator Black
storm osprey
that could cause problems
astral merlin
It’s what I have
prime jasper
@storm osprey wym
storm osprey
not hyper x, but having 3 sticks
astral merlin
Ooooh
prime jasper
yeah
storm osprey
ram used to be fairly finnicky and not running paired sticks would cause BSOD and other shit
prime jasper
its running quad channel without the 4th channel rn
storm osprey
i REALLY doubt it will fix your problem but just try 2 sticks
storm osprey
idk many people using quad unless they are on 32gb+
astral merlin
This is also my first time hearing quad
prime jasper
so i should just get two 8gb sticks and call it a day?
storm osprey
i dont think thats going to solve your problem
storm osprey
nothing about you ram suggests its gonna cap your fps
prime jasper
good point
i do get 80-90% usage while playing but yeah
apparently its my monitor, it won't let me set a game resolution higher than 1920x1080 60hz because i have a 60hz monitor
however on bf4, i was able to set it to 1080 144hz no problem
Hey is this the help channel, could I call it.
?
astral merlin
If you got a tech problem
prime jasper
Alright, where do I report my unlocking weapon glitch on pc?

prime jasper
any way i can allow the game to let me set it higher than 60 fps
storm osprey
you certain control panel is set right
prime jasper
wym
storm osprey
nvidia control panel
storm osprey
you on your pc right now?
storm osprey
right click at windows
brazen oracle
Why wud u wana play at 144hz on a 60hz monitor
storm osprey
open control panel
prime jasper
@brazen oracle cause when its capped at 60 hz, a 30 fps drop brings me down to 30
ok
in control panel
prime jasper
yea
storm osprey
drop down and select 144hz
storm osprey
do you have a 60hz monitor?
prime jasper
yes
prime jasper
however bf4 let me set it to 144hz
prime jasper
Wait so I just have to play range and do one of the activity's and it should fix the bug?
the game is literally not going above 60 fps, ther is a cap somewhere
storm osprey
i have no idea ervina, i havent unlocked anything
prime jasper
it maybe gets to 64 or 63 for a second then goes back down
storm osprey
other users follow directions and said it worked
in bfv you dont have "set framate to monitor" turned on?
storm osprey
whats resolution scale?
prime jasper
100%
its definetly a performance issue, not a fps limit issue
i'm barely getting 40 fps rn
storm osprey
well that doesnt make sense unless youre running ultra
supple bane
specs?
prime jasper
i am running max settings
storm osprey
2133mhz
prime jasper
my friend with a gtx 970 is getting more fps than me on ultra
storm osprey
6700k doesnt scale off ram like amd does
supple bane
not only does bfv use a minimum of 13gb of ram. I wouldn’t be surprised if the kids match of sizes are causing issues
storm osprey
8gb gets more fps than he is currently getting
supple bane
something along the lines of the 4gb stick not being utilised so he is practically on single channel 8gb ram
prime jasper
im just gonna see if 2x8 of 3000mhz ddr4 fixes it
because i don't see what else it could be
is my cpu a bottleneck?
storm osprey
no
prime jasper
DX12
storm osprey
ram is the worst spec scenario, but i dont see how it would cause an fps cap or bottleneck your system that hard
usually ram problems just stop pc from working
supple bane
try dx11
prime jasper
i was barely able to run minecraft on max settings as well
maybe my ram is killing my pc
ill try dx11
supple bane
dx12 is aimed at amd gpu’s it tends to perform shite on nvidia
brazen oracle
guys im trying to assemble my pc but im addicted to hitting that yeet. every so often ill feel the need to hit that yeet and drop whatever im holding
prime jasper
@supple bane ok ill try that, i assumed dx12 gave better visuals and performance
storm osprey
good luck
prime jasper
what my concern was is that people with very similar specs are getting 60-70 more fps than me
storm osprey
dx11/12 should just be toggled to see what does perform better
i have a 4790k and 1080 and dx12 runs better for me
prime jasper
i believe my gpu is overclocked, its a zotac amp extreme
storm osprey
uuuuuuhhhhh
storm osprey
take a picture of the back of your tower
prime jasper
why
storm osprey
make sure you arent running off IGPU xD
prime jasper
XD i'm not on integrated, the game wouldn't even open on ultra on IGPU
storm osprey
i figured, i thought you were looking at max usage for gpu and it was at 4%
prime jasper
i was doing it whilst tabbed out
storm osprey
(my friend did the same thing)
supple bane
@prime jasper that has happened in the past. just gotta make sure 
supple bane
have you tried dx11 ?
prime jasper
i am right now
finishing this game and then restarting
so will the resolution being set at "1080 60 hz" cap me at 60 fpz
prime jasper
so the ram shouldn't be an issue?
im testing dx11 rn
also is it normal i am getting higher than 85% CPU usage in game
supple bane
yeah
prime jasper
o shit the ram is bottlnecking me, i am at >95% usage
brazen oracle
the game doesnt even launch for me with dx12 bruh
supple bane
yeah im 80% sure it’s your ram
prime jasper
so when searching for new ram, do i even need 3200 or is 3000 fine
its a difference of 12 dollars for 2x8
also I am at 100% CPU usage during game, looking at task manager
brazen oracle
once u reaach 3000mhz its at the point where it dosnt matter
storm osprey
even a single stick of 8gb ram gives a minimum of 80 fps in the videos ive been watching
brazen oracle
just avoid 2400 or 2666 if u can
astral merlin
I have 3200mhz but above 3000mhz it doesn't really matter too much
brazen oracle
ram doesnt affect fps it affects smoothness. on 8 gigs i wud get stutters in bfv every deployment
and whenevr i died
storm osprey
ram does affect fps
single stick could get 100 fps at 8gb, dual at 8gb will get 140 fps
storm osprey
hell im watching a 7500, 2060, with 8gb of ram at ultra settings with ray tracing on getting 50 fps
brazen oracle
make sure that specific ram kit is compatible with ur mobo
if its not compatible it will run at 2133mhz
prime jasper
the mobo can only run 2133 stock, i have to overclock with xmp
storm osprey
go to bios
but if its rated 2133mhz you probably wont get much of a boost out of it
prime jasper
exactly
DX11 im getting a stable 80 fps
seems low for 1080p
but its better, that's a good sign
storm osprey
i wouldnt expect much more at ultra settings
prime jasper
true true
storm osprey
not the way bfv is optimized
prime jasper
i mean its stable, going into buildings drops it down to right above 60 but its doing well
dx
storm osprey
honestly if youre trying to perform to your best you should be playing low
ignoring even the fps gain, visibility is better too
storm osprey
up to you
i would still mess with things
could get roughly the same fidelity and gain fps with certain settings
if youre on a 24" i would turn off AA
storm osprey
24" 1080p PPI is good to where you wont notice the pixels and you will gain fps from turning off AA
plus most AA just blurs the image
which LOOKS smoother, but you will have a harder time noticing things further away since the pixels edges are blended
prime jasper

Yesterday i tried 2x 2080 Super. But temp was reaching 85, so i had to take one of them out. I read that vertical gpu mount is probably a solution but not exactly sure
storm osprey
those temps really arent that bad
and vertical mounting wont be the solution if they are still in case and gpus are spaced the same distance apart as if they were in pcie
suffocating would likely be your biggest problem
stray needle
what about pcie risers. Like pcie slot extenders

SLI is worthless unless you REALLY want that 4k 120+fps. even then barely any games actually support it well enough

Guys, you who are geniuses and know everything, did I put the pasta wrong or what does this mean? I played 2 rounds of Battlefield V. https://ibb.co/3hTJNQw
opaque saddle
Is your CPU fan stopped working?
desert bear
No, they were working, now I pass the image.
granite kestrel
Above 85-90 is a bit yikes
If fans are working, I'd contact your retailer or local store
opaque saddle
A new pc or old pc?
desert bear
Is Notebook, G752vsk. It is that, in the first two years, you could play very well Battlefield V, now, then, there are these lows.
Old notebook, maybe. 
opaque saddle
Dust
desert bear
I did the total cleaning yesterday, I took it apart and cleaned everything.
opaque saddle
What about thermal paste?
desert bear
Should I put the fans at full power and try?
I also made the change of the clear thermal paste.
desert bear
No, I haven't touched the Bios. The only time the Bios changed was when Windows updated it.
opaque saddle
A thin layer for Laptop is a must
desert bear
Little thermal paste, since I followed a guide that little.
opaque saddle
Weird. You sure the heat spreader is mounted tightly onto your CPU?
desert bear
Yes, I put at full power, the two ventinal. Uhm ... Will I receive it again?
One thing Asus support told me is that when Windows has updated the Bios some time ago, it caused them problems. And I said: So that's wrong isn't it? He said: Yes.
I said then: And it would be advisable to return it to the previous Bios? He said: Yes, but you can leave your notebook for risk or trouble as you step on paperwork.
So I did nothing. 
feral hull
uhm how often do you guys clean your pcs for dust?
i im to afraid to take stuff apart so tis being more then 7 months i think...
desert bear
Every 6 months.
feral hull
don't know how to clean it
desert bear
Touch to see some professional guides or here they would help you with a basic guide. The best thing for not having these doubts is to send it to maintenance.
But I like to learn. xD Now if there is nothing to do here or by forums or videos, it's time to take it.
I will try to play with the fan at full power to see what happens.
opaque saddle
I don’t clean up my pc coz I realised I cleaned that up too often
desert bear
That is true, it is not necessary to do it all the time. I spent 2 years playing without problems, until the update of Windows October last year attacked. @opaque saddle
opaque saddle
Make sure you aren’t having food in your bedroom and vacuum often meaning you don’t need to clean up that too often, and get a case without too many holes in it
brazen oracle
i havent cleaned my pc since 2008
feral hull
the guy a a pc shop is asking 20$
brazen oracle
ithink a lizard lives inside now
opaque saddle
Don’t know what will be the solution since it’s windows updates fault
desert bear
I hate Windows, its updates gave me a headache from the sound, warming, etc.
desert bear
Oh well, that's fine. I only have this to play. Only that. I hate you Windows.
opaque saddle
Check for windows update then...
My old 3rd gen i5 laptop can’t even handle the games from 2016 and beyond
desert bear
All updated, so far there are no problems with windows. If there was for me last year, with that update of October and later. I've had to look for software on my own in forums that work well with the changes. Rest in peace i5.
opaque saddle
Don’t really know the solution tbh, apart from the hardware and maintenance part
My solution is to disable turbo boost (this will give you around 60% of the performance your CPU has)
If your cpu is thermal throttling, I guess turbo boost has been disabled automatically
desert bear
Do you have any guidance on that? I was reading that topic sideways, but I did not understand well.
opaque saddle
Under bios
Press F2 to enter bios
Find the “turbo boost” section and then switch that off
It cools down my MacBook by another 40C, from 98C
Since turbo boost has been switched off, your CPU shouldn’t ask for the power over the scaled down TDP wattage.
My 45W CPU now uses max 28W power, and never reached 70C marks during 30 mins long stress test
desert bear
I will try to look for that then. Right now I will try to put the fan to full power and play battlefield 32vs32. Let's see what results it gives me, since if it bothers a little that the performance drops.
opaque saddle
Check for the max frequency your laptop and the temp can get during gameplay
desert bear
I will do it!
desert bear
Well, I noticed two things, the frequency is 3.44Ghz at stake, and there is Thermal Throttling with 75c https://ibb.co/ZX0Td1x But in HWinFO64 I don't mark anything red.
opaque saddle
Could be the thermal paste needs time to make it work?
desert bear
I wouldn't know how to answer that.

so ram got you like 10 fps?
you said you were sitting on 40 at the beginning of all this
hmm, but dx11 got you a boost, and cpu a good boost
prime jasper
nah
ram is coming tmrw
dx11 got me up to 50
im reviving ppl in the trenches of wake island at 90 fps now
it dips to 70 in explosions but its a massive improvement

DX12 stuttered a lot

unless your thermal throttling

buy another 4gb or 8gb stick tho cuz bfv likes ram

although it’s a bit fishy it doesn’t mention what cpu it has

its r5 2400g
which is kinda ass
it will get u by for now but in two years Games will struggle on it
but its am4 motherboard which means u could put a r9 3950x in it if u want to. easy upgrades down the road
thats one thing u dont get with intel
prime jasper
Ah
supple bane
depending on if the motherboard is zen 2 compatible which I highly doubt
it will most likely be a cheap board with no support
that’s the issue with a system like that
It takes massive short cuts to lower the price

building it urself means u get the best value and dont get ripped off. prebuilts usually cut corners by using cheap motherboards and psus like grant said
the cpu and gpu is usually ok but mobo psu and ram is cheap
prime jasper
not true
prebuilts are more expensive because there is the labor factor of them assembling it, as well as the company charge
not because they ncessarily cut corners
supple bane
No bud. They cut corners
give me a single pre built that is actually decent.
budget too. not the 3xs or anything
my first pc was pre built and it has a decent psu. but has a crap case and a non brand single fan
And the motherboard was awful
wallmarts pc is similar
My friend brought pre built and he got a crap case and a non brand 350w psu
supple bane
let’s say a system with a 1660ti and 2600 with decent parts like an ssd etc would cost 800 to build your self. a company would add like 150 to that making it 950 now who would pay 150 extra for nothing ? So company’s need to cut corners and things that aren’t “necessary” just to bring the price down
prime jasper
people pay it for the convenience
supple bane
@prime jasper what case did it come in? what fans did it have ? did it have an ssd ?
prime jasper
my prebuilt was extremely high quality
cooler master case, SSD + HDD, cooler master fans
i had to pick that though
you select what you want
of course a walmart prebuilt will be cheap, but when you select every single part they can't possible cut corners
My mom said no:(
supple bane
yeah but selecting every single part is different
I didn’t realise that’s what you meant
prime jasper
yeah
if you get one of those premade "gaming HP"
or gaming walmart pc
that's gonna be shite
Can this run bfv?
supple bane
even still your paying extra for nothing which is just stupid in my eyes
supple bane
the other one was better
prime jasper
CPU might bottleneck bfv
im still bottlenecked after overclocking my cpu with my i7 6700jk
Oh
Thanks
other one is better bro

I can see why for some PCs they charge extra for labor.
Its like anything really. You either spend 40 bucks max when your toilet fucks over and do it yourself, or you have a plumber come over and he charges a couple hundred bucks.
brazen oracle
yes u r paying for the labor
but the builders WILL cheap out on certain parts just cus they can
latent light
@prime jasper if you can find one with a Ryzen 5 2600 that will be significantly better just because the extra cores and threads

Do you think that the stragulation can also be on the hard drive since it does not perform the process as fast as in Battlefield games?

I was using core 2 duo PC from the computer labs when I was in high school

that would barely run Battlefield 3 lmao

I was using the GTS 450 to run bf3 and a dual core athlon at 2ghz
Ended up swapping to a 6 core AMD instead. But then I didn’t have internet to play any games for a year also

I did that too, had an old school computer for home use
Thankfully those dark days are over and now I just use old school parts for computers I give to relatives

this laptop was the one i was using in high school.
the state government has funded 65,000 of them, paid for 1000-1500 AUD each to Acer.

Guys, I think I could solve the thermal throttling issue in my notebook.
opaque saddle
Lift up your laptop and put a fan, switch that on and allow the send airflow to it
keen prism
@buoyant junco did you try the last thing I posted to you?
desert bear
@opaque saddle I mean, I think I solved it, I think.
- When playing Battlefield V, with the fans at full power, I was given Thermal Throttling without reaching 95-100 °, casually.
- I saw a video of a Romanian, explaining that he made some adjustments in the voltage. (https://youtu.be/nq_u80osNpc) https://ibb.co/B3HLCyn
- After the configuration, I left the fans in automatic, I played rounds of Battlefield and there was no thermal throttling during the whole game, and the temperature with the fair reached 88.
I assume that by changing the BIOS or doing a clean installation, the voltage modification was deleted or I don't know.
But I can play happy Battlefield V.

@keen prism hi. what was it?
@keen prism i couldn't catch up. i've just come home .

origin-a.akamaihd.net/Origin-Client-Download/origin/live/OriginSetup_10_5_41_27263.exe
Install using this version and uncheck all automatic updates
This should absolutely work
@buoyant junco
buoyant junco
@keen prism i'm trying right now. Let's see what happens
storm scaffold
hi, I have an issue where I have to play the Intro scene everytime i start the game. can anyone help me with this problem, i have tried most of the tips online?
keen prism
@buoyant junco did it work?
buoyant junco
sorry i was out.
i dled that version. Should i uninstall origin first?
@keen prism
keen prism
Yes
buoyant junco
Ok
brazen oracle
5.2.2 Patch not installing (origin PC)
Origin seems to be broken right now and if BFV wont update for u, try going into Windows Services and disabling "origin webhelper" and "origin client service"
Edit: some are saying deleting origin and reinstalling it works too
@buoyant junco
buoyant junco
@brazen oracle YES! same problem!
keen prism
Try that first, and if it doesn't work, reinstall using the install link I gave you
buoyant junco
yesterday i uninstalled and reinstalled , didn't work.
keen prism
I know, try what he said, and then reinstall with the link I gave you. It should work
buoyant junco
Whoops - the installer encountered an error
The operating system is preventing us from modifying a necessary file. Please reboot your machine and try again. Temporarily disabling virus or malware scanners may help as well.
i uninstalled then tried re install
keen prism
Using the link I gave you?
desert bear
What problems does the Webhelper cause?
keen prism
So that's a work around. it's actually an older version of origin
Once EA fixes the current issue I'd reinstall with the newer client @buoyant junco
buoyant junco
Ok i'll keep it in my mind! Thanks BTW
keen prism
Yeet
buoyant junco
how can i know if it's fixed or not?
keen prism
I'd look out on the EA forums
buoyant junco
BFV is still being finalized? Shouldn't it finished already?
brazen oracle
just chill
its acrually better if it doesnt work cuz bfv is so bad right now
save urself

didnt gamers nexus say the xfx 5700 runs hot in particular
storm osprey
iirc that was 5700xt
amazon has good reviews on this
youtubeing xfx 5700 only brings up 5700xt reviews
latent light
XFX did fix the memory cooling issue already
as they used a steel plate, which sucks at heat transfer, now they have aluminum which is much better
and they are accepting returns to replace the memory cooling plate for all users that bought them before they changed the plate

opaque saddle
isnt that 1.474V is above normal for 3600? i have the same CPU but i ended up adjust to somewhere lower
brazen oracle
idk tbh but this is wht my mobo set it to
im gettin 67c under load and constantly pushing 4.1ghz so im probably fine
opaque saddle
did you set the ram speed with xmp?
coz my cpu was getting constant 1.474V and the heat produced in my room was unbearable
prime jasper
what does your ram speed have to do with your CPU voltage?
opaque saddle
dont really know coz i was for the ddr4 oc era. but once XMP is enabled, the motherboard may actually set the voltage to manual for you
with XMP enabled on default: Constant CPU voltage (then you'll need to do some adjustments)
without XMP enabled: CPU Voltage can go up and down depending on the tasks running on your desktop
prime jasper
thats not at all my experience lol
xmp fixes the ram voltage to its factory setting
the cpu voltage is automatically adjusting by default depending on load due to PBO
opaque saddle
my mb was the case i have mentioned.
but XMP allows your PC to run the RAM speed they have labeled on the product box
I'm using Asus PRIME X570-P with 3600
prime jasper
yeah that shouldnt be the case, assuming you didnt mess with CPU settings
update chipset and bIOS
opaque saddle
nah that was the default settings. latest
@brazen oracle see if that was the case. constant CPU Voltage
brazen oracle
wym
opaque saddle
brazen oracle
ok
prime jasper
if youre running monitoring programs like hwinfo64, riva tuna, etc that are constantly pinging the cpu that will also mess with the idle voltage
opaque saddle
nah i fixed it by using this method:
set CPU voltage to "AUTO" in BIOS settings
i meant. i typed the word "AUTO"
prime jasper
its not auto by default? what in hell
opaque saddle
sounds like a bug from the Motherboard BIOS
opaque saddle
then it should be fine

Update
Or roll back drivers to the ones best fit your needs?
Saving and backing up multiple times of those drivers is a great idea. The problem is that they'll force update your PC or device.

Finally a console that sounds like an alright deal for hardware
The Xbox one was awful
latent light
Xbox One had great cooling
lofty light
I just recall GN making a PC with the same performance for around the same price at launch
latent light
the cooler is about as good as the Ryzen Wraith Prism, it has a 100mm fan and a big heatsink with 3 heatpipes
apparently the cooler for the processor in the Xbox One is considered overkill
storm osprey
remember when consoles were sold at a decent loss and had good performance for the cost?
latent light
original Xbox was sold at a $70 loss in 2001
had a Intel CPU and Nvidia graphics chip in it lol
latent light
supposedly AMD made $100 profit off each PS4 sold at launch MSRP
while Sony only made like ~$10
timestamp
look how much room for ventilation and how big that cooler is for the xbox one
storm osprey
my ps4 turns into a fucking vacuum at times
i dont understand why they dont make consoles 1-2 inches bigger to add this kind of space and a good fan..
latent light
that's what Microsoft did
but people complained about the size of the launch xbox one
so they made the One S
storm osprey
i know it wont happen, but release both at once
opaque saddle
Well it’s like an investment for SONY and Microsoft, if more people buy more console at a cheap cost, the game developers will be more happy to develop games on their platform exclusively

prob new xbox will also has good cooling as it is an mini fridge

You cant code in a console lol

most laptops won't have good performance on BFV as well
quad cores are a bit outdated now

a 1650 on laptop will be even worse than the desktop version
so expect to turn pretty much every detail setting down

Any way to fix the game from crashing
im using a rtx 2080 super and i run the game for about 30 - 60 seconds and then i crash lol

it could be anything
literally anything
check ur overclocks, check drivers, check windows updates, etc
if all else fails, clean reinstall windows, clean reinstall bfv
