technology

[opaque saddle]

Sounds like SE Asia or something

[ashen ether]

@opaque saddle yes

[opaque saddle]

Vietnam?

[ashen ether]

No hahah

[opaque saddle]

Don’t know

[ashen ether]

Ph

[opaque saddle]

Oh

Make sense. Coz it just can’t really compared with other developed countries

I meant the wages

[ashen ether]

I actually feel shy asking my parents for money

[opaque saddle]

But most of the time you don’t need to buy everything new

[ashen ether]

Thats why i have this sideline

I work as a pc repairman. Only can work like twice a week tho

Only when I get called

I get paid like $3 to $7 per session

[opaque saddle]

Well. The only way to run BFV smoothly on your PC is to get a more powerful one.

You can OC your APU but I don’t recommended to do so

[ashen ether]

Also, I was really waiting for the game to go on discount. I didnt want to pay full price

[opaque saddle]

Your 750TI is around the minimum specs

[ashen ether]

Also, the money I used to buy the game was my wage from repairing pcs

[opaque saddle]

It was like 3.45 USD on amazon...

I meant BF V

[ashen ether]

Region locked

[opaque saddle]

Not sure. But it was that cheap a few days ago. From the original price like 69 or something

I guess you can try and oc your APU but I don’t think it has a great potential tho

[ashen ether]

Im not touching anything on the bios

Better safe than sorry

[opaque saddle]

Same coz your PC is an old one. And I barely touch BIOS these days. But I guess getting a new PC will be the only option if you would like to game on PC then

Or getting old parts. In this case, you’ll be more likely replacing one

[ashen ether]

Im looking for console commands tho

[opaque saddle]

Scale down the resolution to 600 or 720p but leave the render resolution to 100%

[gentle frost]

servers down???

?

[soft pecan]

Guys 1080p40fps or 720p60fps is better?🤔

[gentle frost]

60 fps

[brazen oracle]

im bfv id rather play at 1080p to spot enemies easier

visibility is already bad

[young karma]

is it just me or do all the people on servers have 200+ ping

[crystal lion]

Hello there, my squad VOIP stopped working after the last update. Anyone else has the same issue. Any advice on how to resolve this issue if at all possible?

[spiral brook]

Hello! Anyone is experiencing high latency on BFV servers right now?

[prime jasper]

why my battlefield 5 is crashing ingame and i get blackscreen and i also hear the sounds?

[brazen oracle]

the ping issue is back

[spiral brook]

yup

[lofty lake]

back to bf1 i guess

[river wyvern]

So can stock handle 3600

[opaque saddle]

i dont use the stock cooler coz, it wont be great compared to after market air coolers

[river wyvern]

Or spending a little more for Noctua?

[opaque saddle]

i dont think so

i meant, for the money you wanna spend on noctua, you can pay a bit extra and get 3700x

[river wyvern]

2060s kinda dumb
Mostly its 6GB DDR6

[opaque saddle]

although it's an awesome cooler, but if you have a tight budget, you wont wanna spend something not necessary

i was trying to get 2080s, but i went for 2070s

[river wyvern]

I played RDR2 on my RX 580 4G and it's struggling loading map

[opaque saddle]

coz i ended up getting 32gb of ram for cities skylines

[river wyvern]

I about to get 2060s until I saw RX5700

[opaque saddle]

do you have ssd?

[river wyvern]

Yea, a 1TB 850 EVO

[opaque saddle]

install that on ssd and see if it makes differences

[river wyvern]

Of course

[opaque saddle]

otherwise, check for the graphics settings

[river wyvern]

Mostly because of memory shortage

I ran at medium settings

[opaque saddle]

do you have gpu memory restriction on?

or off

if its off and you have >4gb of stuff loaded into your VRAM, it slows down a lot

[river wyvern]

BFV and Oddessey both have big loading map

[brazen oracle]

i played rdr2 on 8 gig rx 580 had no issues

never dropped below 70fps

[river wyvern]

It's running fine at High

[opaque saddle]

whats your CPU

[river wyvern]

But RDR2 is kinda problematic

It's 1700 btw
I meant the frames is good, but the 1% and frametime is dippy

[brazen oracle]

use 1080p low settings

but ambient occlusion to medium and textures on high

[river wyvern]

Low looks terrible

[opaque saddle]

1700 is fine

[river wyvern]

Console runs at Medium
So why can't PC run at stable

[opaque saddle]

low cpu usage?

[river wyvern]

No it's actually 45% all core

This game kinda unoptimized

[opaque saddle]

well if the cpu usage is quite low, meaning the game isnt optimised on your CPU

[river wyvern]

I think upgrading is the solution to every PC's problem 😂

[opaque saddle]

if you oc your 1700 to 3.9GHz should give your another 20ish frmae

frames

[river wyvern]

Stable volt?

[opaque saddle]

1.4?

[river wyvern]

I tried at all different and it's all has issues

[brazen oracle]

low looks terrible in rdr2?? it doesnt lol

low on pc is actualy a step above console in some cases

[river wyvern]

3.8 is the best I could shrink out of stock cooler

[opaque saddle]

try borderless mode?

[river wyvern]

https://youtu.be/3lbQ7PC5drw

Tried for yourself
Rockstar low kinda serious.....

I wish the game have option to lower LOD and Render distance

[opaque saddle]

its kinda like, more details vs less details on the maps

[river wyvern]

Even on Low the game still tried to render LOD and Distance object

That's why memory shortage is a problem

Most of modern games don't have that optiobs anyway

[opaque saddle]

turn off MSAA and all the stuff. i dont know whats inside the settings. currently in vacation without desktop

[prime jasper]

can someone help me?

[river wyvern]

Guess who gonna spend $700 upgrading PC just to play RDR2

Enough to buy a copy of FIFA 20, BFV, HZD, GOW, Cyber, and RDR2 and a fricking console

[opaque saddle]

well i paid for 1200 USD for a new PC and i ended up not playing games

a copy of BFV was like 3.45 USD (or $5 AUD) on amazon a few days ago

[river wyvern]

The problem is I couldn't play FPS game on console

If I could I will ditch PC right away 🤔

[opaque saddle]

i guess they do have $60-70 USB adaptor, allowing you to plug in your own mouse and keyboard into the console

i dont know how it works. but it doesnt seems a good solution

[river wyvern]

Sony don't allow that

Microsoft don't support most of the titles

[opaque saddle]

it was 100 bucks on sale

maybe it was available on BF1 era

[river wyvern]

And if they do they will match you with people and takes 5 mil years

[opaque saddle]

cant rememeber it

[river wyvern]

Razer has keyboard for XB1

But games support it is ehhh

[opaque saddle]

never use that on my ps4 so i dont know. always game on pc otherwise ps4

[river wyvern]

PS4 has great 3rd person open world action game

That's why most PC players has PS4 besides😂

If u own PC, there is no point getting XB1

Kinda hurts

[opaque saddle]

i was thinking to get an xb1s for my dad as a 4k bluray player

[river wyvern]

Get the sony UBD-9800
It's 175 bucks and works like an Android TV

[opaque saddle]

hardware wise, its awesome and capable to be an entertainment machine that allows his 2012 LG smart TV to be smarter

[river wyvern]

Since Xbox lack tons of apps

[opaque saddle]

he was thinking to get a 4k TV but it seem unnecessary. there is no 4k free to air channels in australia

Netflix is enough for him

[river wyvern]

But it has a controller

A TV remote is better for aged

[opaque saddle]

well i can get him an xbox tv remote since he loves holding a remote in hand at sleep

i was trying to tease him of getting multiple tv remotes if he would like some for his christmas present this year

[river wyvern]

Imagine getting XB1S for 4K blura

Accidentally get the all digital version instead

[opaque saddle]

well he reckons 4k upscale is good enough. yeah it saw it was quite cheap here in australia

[river wyvern]

I would say it'a would be better includes Netflix and Hulu

And maybe HBO TV

And Youtube

Those apps are essential

[opaque saddle]

it was like 130 USD (191 AUD here)

my sister came for visit and she reckons something has gone missing

she thought to get an apple tv (top up box) instead

[river wyvern]

XB1S 500GB is just $200

It has all entertainment apps

And also if his grandchildren wanna play games

[opaque saddle]

but i guess i shall discard that idea tbh. he is too new for these stuff

well his grandchild is living in another city. which is 4-5 hours drive away from here

[river wyvern]

Then just get a Panasonic or Sony one

They about $100-$200 range

[opaque saddle]

and im living 20 hours drive away from my parent's house

[river wyvern]

His TV already "smart"
What's the deal

[opaque saddle]

i guess its the 2012 LG 42" LCD tv or something

we bought a samsung 120hz LED TV 2 years in prior. we ended up dumped it coz we couldnt ship it overseas

[river wyvern]

There is something called Xiaomi Mibox
Linus reviewed it
It can work while well as an Apple TV alternative

[opaque saddle]

we have an optus top up box, i guess it does the same thing. but the exception is. he'd never use it

https://www.optus.com.au/for-you/entertainment/tv-movies-music/fetch-tv/set-top-boxes

[river wyvern]

So he's the type of boomer who buy disc

[opaque saddle]

well he is too young for digital stuff

[river wyvern]

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-UBP-X700-Ultra-Blu-ray-Player/dp/B078HXF9H2/ref=wsdps_1?cv_ct_pg=detail&cv_ct_wn=woodstock-mobile&linkCode=oad&cv_ct_id=ws&pf_rd_r=MBQKNR11SDM2KS67MN3B&pd_rd_wg=rKgWq&pd_rd_w=zCtug&pd_rd_r=ef599d0d-6d9e-4fbc-890e-20e520033598

They have this box on my coffee shop I'm working at

It's cheap but not shitty

[opaque saddle]

well its better off getting an xbox tho

xbox cost less, but with 500gb storage and the eco system i guess?

[river wyvern]

If he's the type of guy just put the disc in
This one actually works

My clerk usually just buy 2nd hand trade blu ray and pop one in for kids

[opaque saddle]

i was trying to teach him about digital stuff but its too difficult to do so

[river wyvern]

Usually dumb Disney film

Just plug and play

It's very cheap though

[opaque saddle]

well it's 278 AUD so, around 191 USD

possible to buy a movie online will be ended up cheaper for him

anyway i got to head off. almost 2am now. bye

[half skiff]

can any1 find a fix to the game crashing

only $300 and it has a Ryzen 5 3500U in it

[astral merlin]

Single RAM though... but for that price that’s pretty neat

[latent light]

4 core/8 thread R5 3500U, 8GB ram, Vega 8 graphics, 256GB SSD, 14" 1080p IPS display all for only $300

that's insane value tbh

[mild bough]

something gotta be really wrong here

I am downloading Forza Horizon 4, and it says I have 993mbpts. My family only pays for 50mbpt and we never get even close to 50

the downloading is still slow as hell tho

Ok it says I have 26mbpts now, but downloading 1mb still takes 10 seconds

now its 7kb

[timid abyss]

So I have a problem with a file on my PC and I have no idea what to do

anyone that can help me?

[wind laurel]

Got to tell us the problem first.

[latent light]

Ryzen 5 3600 is $170 at micro center

[brazen oracle]

dam it

even the rx 580 is 160$ now

got it for 170$

can u order online or is it pickup only

[latent light]

in-store

[brazen oracle]

nearest one is 20 min away

[river wyvern]

Pulse 5700 is $220

Wooshhhh

[brazen oracle]

bruh where @river wyvern

[river wyvern]

Just check NewEgg

I just saw a deal
Prob Christmas sale

[ashen ether]

@soft pecan thanks for the config. It didnt made much of an impact but it still made the game run better

15 to 25% improvement

[soft pecan]

😀😀😀 great

however the lighting in armory is broken 😹 this is so sad

[river wyvern]

You disbale lightpath

That's why

[ashen ether]

@soft pecan yeah,all characters look black

[upbeat crypt]

fuck Samsung
worst god damn products
2 Samsung Tv's now with issues
one of them is only 4 years old....

stupid white ring circles

now they are trying to sell a PC monitor

haha no thanks

[river wyvern]

Just buy Sony or LG

TCL is a very good cheap choice too

[grand steeple]

TCL has bad quality

Sony is by far the best TV i ever saw

[violet plank]

but bad for gaming

high latency

but i agree,sony got the best accurate and natural colors (even out of the box)

but also android as os 🤢

[maiden copper]

Ok hello gamers

So i'm getting a shiny new ssd soon

im thinking of

uninstalling some huge titles so i'm able to clone all of my 1tb hdd to my 500gb ssd

and then moving back stuff that i dont want on my ssd

will that work?

[opaque saddle]

you have to use specific software tho.

i would install a fresh windows on the ssd instead. if you have login to your microsoft account previously, it may recognised your windows key and it works perfectly fine

[maiden copper]

If I were to fresh install windows on the SSD would all my HDD files still be there

[prime jasper]

@violet plank nothing wrong w android

[opaque saddle]

well you can use both of your drives at the same time tho

i meant it works as it is

then you can grab all game files from the 1TB HDD to your SSD without any issues,

[maiden copper]

wait if i clone the hdd

would all the files still be on the hdd

actually i could just format it

couldnt it

after

[opaque saddle]

it should be

but the problem is, you have to delete your files and minimise it to less than 500gb

[maiden copper]

So lemme get my head around this, if I cloned the HDD to my SSD, and made my SSD the boot drive, my PC would work as if I had never installed an SSD and be exactly the same, but its faster

[opaque saddle]

in order to clone it successfully

[maiden copper]

Ye ik

I'd just remove some large games

Dont mind reinstalling them all overnight

[opaque saddle]

it should be

[maiden copper]

alright cool

[opaque saddle]

but i wont do it this way

[maiden copper]

I just dont wanna have to do all my windows settings etc all again

[opaque saddle]

coz you shall do a system check right after the clone

on the new SSD

no guarantee it will work 100% as expected tho

[maiden copper]

What would you do

[opaque saddle]

coz dealing with windows system is pain in the ass. so i would install windows on the new drive

then bring all files across

[maiden copper]

Should I just, remove the HDD, install SSD, clean install onto the SSD then reconnect the hdd

[opaque saddle]

save time and effort.

wait up

[maiden copper]

SSD i mean not HDD

[opaque saddle]

no>

[maiden copper]

clean install on ssd

[opaque saddle]

forgot about the hard drive first.

[upbeat crypt]

@grand steeple @river wyvern but I heard SONY has new ownership? or somethingbad?

[opaque saddle]

1. install windows on ssd

2. login to your MS account, press sync option right there in order to bring all settings from your old HDD windows to your new SSD

3. bring all game files across. done

[maiden copper]

would I need to reinstall drivers

[opaque saddle]

yes you do. but it should do that for you automatically

[maiden copper]

alright

cheers for the help

[opaque saddle]

no worries

btw. i only spent 10mins to install windows 10 on my laptop

that saved me heaps of time and troubles

[fallen harbor]

anybody here uses amd settings to record?

[fallen harbor]

sony vegas wont detect the audio of the videos i record with it even though i can listen their audio in any media player 🤔

[supple bane]

i kept getting ad's for this "gaming browser" (opera GX) on youtube and i was thinking it was just a load of bollocks. but chrome was playing up for me so i needed a new one. and i thought i would give it a try....

and i swear

its fucking awesome

i 100% recommend it

[storm osprey]

interesting, i used opera a long time ago and liked it

[supple bane]

it has built in ad block and built in vpn

its so customizable and fun. its awesome

[storm osprey]

yea thats what opera has

just read that opera and opera gx are the same but gx has some other features

[supple bane]

admittedly it doesnt feel quiet as snappy as chrome. but its not too bad and its a trade off im willing to make for all the other neat tricks it has

even makes a satisfying clicking sound when your trying on the search bar like phones do... finally people with membrane keyboards can get some satisfaction out of typing

[storm osprey]

ive been mulling over getting off chrome

been looking at firefox and opera

but apparently theres vivendo and brave which sound good too

[supple bane]

chrome kept refusing to open for me so i decided to call it quits

like once a week it would just. not open

and i would have to restart my pc about 5 times for it to work again

and it just happened today so i basically rage quit a browser

[storm osprey]

apparently edge is pretty fast now

[supple bane]

but its ugly tho

[storm osprey]

tis true

opera does seem pretty slow to some tests i have seen

[supple bane]

yeah its not the fastest. but its usable.

[storm osprey]

im gonna try brave

havent tried a new browser since opera, and that was like 10 years ago

[opaque saddle]

I was using safari and opera at the same time back in 2008. I picked opera over Safari because chrome hasn’t been released yet and yes IE looks old and clumsy

[supple bane]

i just found yet another thing i love about opera compared to chrome. its a small thing. but when you close all the tabs on chrome. the entire window closes. opera doesnt. its just another tiny little thing that makes a massive difference

[crude creek]

who uses chrome

use brave

xd

brave was the best move ive made online the past few months

[prime jasper]

chrome was amazing

just uses too much RAM

whats brave

[coral pine]

I dont know where this goes but can you buy company coins in game with real money

[molten coral]

iirc you can't

[wind laurel]

Surprisingly you can't.

[mild bough]

I am at my relatives house, and their speed is 250mb download and 280 upload

ffs why is theeir soooo faaaaaasstttt

i want that tooo

[supple bane]

then buy it...

[mild bough]

Yeah 300$ a month

[tender slate]

when i am in a channel in discord and then start a round in bfv discord just frezes and i have to restart it and reinstaling discord did not fix it. Pls help

[keen prism]

Why would discord freeze BF?

[crisp kindle]

not bfv freezes discord freezes and i dont know why

[keen prism]

Discord isn't connected to BFV though

Unless they're fighting for the same files

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/607507217804951563/658711311039070219/unknown.png
i shouldn't lag right ?

[storm osprey]

your speed test doesnt correlate to your in game connection

[supple bane]

where are you living and what servers are you playingg on ?

you should expect around 40-50 ping in game

[prime jasper]

highest ping I ever had is 60 @supple bane

and it's always around 40-45

and in living in Sweden

is it normal to always have those yellow warning signs?

[rustic geode]

i just got the game and it goes to a white screen with frostbite at the top. I dont know how to fix this

[prime jasper]

@rustic geode there's no frostbite mark

[storm osprey]

@keen prism specs?

[keen prism]

You don't remember them from the other day?

One sec

[storm osprey]

ohhh i think i do

that was in general wasnt it?

[keen prism]

5tb hdd, 1tb ssd, amd 3800x, 2080 super gpu, 32gb ram, 1080 240hz dispplay

MMmmm I though it was here

And a MB of course to run it all, an msi carbon gamer mb or whatever

[storm osprey]

yea that post was in general

[keen prism]

like 159 bucks

[storm osprey]

i remember now

sweet build

[keen prism]

Thanks man

Probably overboard

But why the fuck not?

I'll send pictures after I get paid

[storm osprey]

if you got the means

[keen prism]

I also have to buy the valve index and that's another 1k

[storm osprey]

valve index?

[keen prism]

https://store.steampowered.com/sub/354231/

I need that to play boneworks

Boneworks has the potential to be the only game you'll ever need

[tall goblet]

U want boneworks so much as i see

[keen prism]

I'm dying

[tall goblet]

Actually which vr have u got

Htc?

[keen prism]

Plus I'd like to play other games too on vr

I don't have vr yet

[tall goblet]

Oh

[keen prism]

But valve index will be the cornerstone of VR gaming

Same with boneworks

[tall goblet]

If u want to buy the most price-performance i suggest htc

[keen prism]

HTC doesn't have the knuckles though

Knuckles controllers map your individual finger movements

[tall goblet]

Ye it has wonderful psyhics

And u need to play beat saber too

Umm then

[keen prism]

Oh beat saber would be so fun

[tall goblet]

Just play every song on expert

Its better

Never do easy

[keen prism]

No fuck that

[tall goblet]

xD

[keen prism]

I used to play guitar hero on hyperspeed

[tall goblet]

Wow

[keen prism]

expert was too slow

[tall goblet]

Maybe i need a good vr too

Which one are u going to buy

[keen prism]

Well the valve index is 1k dollar lmao

[tall goblet]

Oh

[keen prism]

Valve index

[tall goblet]

Sh*t

Good luck then lol

[keen prism]

It comes with half life alyx

[tall goblet]

That game seems good too

[keen prism]

You've heard of boneworks?

[tall goblet]

Yep

Ik

But you have already a pc ya?

[keen prism]

I'm buying one on the 3rd

I get paid bi-weekly

[tall goblet]

You are so lucky

My mac just blew up

Anyways i need to study have a nice day

Oh wait last question

@keen prism

[keen prism]

5tb hdd, 1tb ssd, amd 3800x, 2080 super gpu, 32gb ram, 1080 240hz display

[storm osprey]

yea i have a 1080 and at 1440p 144hz i use dx12 and it stutters slightly from time to time

[lofty light]

@teal moat can you only post your twitch in #streams-and-videos thanks

Ryzen 5 1600 revamped is only $85 on Amazon

it's on 12nm like the 2600 and is nearly as fast, think it's kinda weird how AMD is doing that though

one hell of a deal for a 6 core CPU

[quiet hearth]

How do I bind my keys in windows 10?

[jovial ivy]

Hey can someone help me, I recently just got a new gpu for Christmas and I installed it, PC gets to windows loading screen and then monitor says no signal, it is also doing the auto startup repair thing. Can’t get to desktop

It is seated properly and I took it out and put it back in, everything is installed properly. I could get to desktop before and then I downloaded drivers off the nvidia website, now it’s broke

[supple bane]

its a driver issue then. only problem is i dont know how/if you can re-install drivers without being in windows

[opaque saddle]

Enter safe mode

Or if you’re using an Intel CPU.
Option 1: Remove your card, then switch on your Pc to Remove driver
Option 2: insert your old GPU to your pc, disconnect wifi or lan connection. Uninstall your GPU driver. Then, switch off your PC (do not connect to the internet). Then insert your new card.

It should be fine afterward

[prime jasper]

is a ryzen 5 3600g good enough for bfv

[opaque saddle]

i got one. its a good value cpu. good enough for bfv

[prime jasper]

i just installed it ^-^

was really easy to install

[prime jasper]

im pretty new to pc as well, but what does ram do and what does it benefit lol

[opaque saddle]

its too difficult to tell right here. depending on what you're doing on your PC.

I shall make it easier.
It is fast, it stores data and transfer it between your PC hardware.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Yt4vSZKVk

ah thank you

[opaque saddle]

no worries

[river wyvern]

Wait is there 3600 APU

[opaque saddle]

its basically cache i'd call it

Ryzen 5 3600 i reckon he meant

not 3600G (it doesnt exist)

[river wyvern]

I just ordered 3600 and RX 5700XT

All for $500

[opaque saddle]

what's the mb

motherboard

[river wyvern]

B450 Tomahawk, the one I bulit with since 1700

I think it will work just fine since I wont go for OC

[opaque saddle]

its really good tho. its the 2nd best from the b450 mb range

or the 3rd

cant remember it

[river wyvern]

Just there is a tons of title dropping next year

[opaque saddle]

your 3600 will do

i went for 3600 and 2070s

[river wyvern]

Ray Tracing is coming to RE3

[opaque saddle]

meh RT is good for SP

[river wyvern]

Imagine watching reflections on Nemesis head

Hey at least DXR on Metro is prerry good

It didn't fuck the framerate up that much

[prime jasper]

best tips to boost fps for bf 1?

my specs are i5-7300hq GTX 1050TI 8GB RAM 1TB Gaming laptop

[supple bane]

If it's a laptop there is nothing you can do

future frame rendering on, Dx 11, all low settings

[opaque saddle]

make it into 16gb ram. two same ram sticks running dual channel should get you more fps

[prime jasper]

yeah that laptop is just about at minimum specs for the game

[soft pecan]

maybe undervolt laptop cpu or put some books below the hinge to lift it up (more airflow, I do this😹)

[supple bane]

Don't undervolt it

Will make it more un-stable

[prime jasper]

@soft pecan improving airflow means better performance?

better cooling can lead to that yes

So less cpu temp means better performance?

Yep

Better temps = stable performance

[soft pecan]

I have more fps in winter than summer

[mortal shard]

Lol makes sense if your ambient temperature is really high in the summer

[prime jasper]

Wow

What if I keep my window open as I am playing

Since my window is behind my laptop

Does that help?

[mortal shard]

If you play on your laptop, make sure it has very good ventilation

Some fans at the bottom may help depending on various factors

Or else your computer will just reduce speed since it is getting too hot, known as thermal throttling

Don't put it on your lap or on other things like your sofa or blanket, it will just block all air flow and instantly slow down

[supple bane]

or just dont buy a laptop

[mortal shard]

Lol... Not to say desktops won't do the same, it is just a little less susceptible

[supple bane]

what? thermal throttle when you put it on your lap hehe

[mortal shard]

And you can get a rash on your leg if you put it on there for a while

🙊

[prime jasper]

Laptop gamer in 2020 oof

[mortal shard]

Isn't it becoming more popular since they are now somewhat viable?

[supple bane]

no it isnt viable for gaming at all

stupidly over priced. cooling is awful. lack of upgradability. and slower compared to a similarly spec'ed desk top

[mortal shard]

Not everyone has the space for a desktop, some people move all the time

And so on

[supple bane]

yeah, and thats the advantage of a laptop

but that doesnt make it viable

[mortal shard]

Depends on your definition of viable

If it works for certain group of people as intended, I think it is viable

Is it optimal, no

[supple bane]

ok well. viable for a niche group

not viable in general

[mortal shard]

Probably more common than you think haha

[supple bane]

[keen prism]

Your boiis got a question

😭

[jovial ivy]

How do I delete drivers

[prime jasper]

you have to follow those instructions

[soft pecan]

gaming laptops are so common in my class and my friends 😂 can see many different RBG backlights during lesson

[opaque saddle]

the gaming laptops used to be stupidly expensive back in the days

[soft pecan]

alienware 👽

[ashen ether]

I installed the reg files on the server but origin still shows download instead of play

[opaque saddle]

play the game with the desktop shortcut

[ashen ether]

@opaque saddle Diskless

cybercafe

[opaque saddle]

oof

[ashen ether]

i've been verifying files for 2 hours

it usually takes about 30 idk about now

30 mins

i asked the cybercafe owner to install the regfiles

he installed it but still showed download instead of play

cant send image

[opaque saddle]

i can

Is the trust gxt 105 gaming mouse good?

[supple bane]

@its a hyper budget mouse. Mice at that price range will all be the same in terms of performance. A mouse I can stand by is the tech net raptor pro. It's slightly more expensive but has many more features including side buttons and software to change dpi and bind macros

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet-Programmable-Buttons-7000dPI-Adjustment/dp/B01GBV3BSY/ref=asc_df_B01GBV3BSY/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310689469388&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3247810907254316185&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006524&hvtargid=pla-564925669657&psc=1

I used that mouse for 2 years and I can't complain. It's actually lighter than most high end mice. Around 80 grams

[shut zephyr]

Thanks

[prime jasper]

is ryzen 7 3700X a good choice for GTX 1660 ti?

[supple bane]

its a bit over powered. if your streaming it wont be so bad. if not i would go with the 3600 or 2700x

[opaque saddle]

i would rather save 150 bucks and get 3600 with a better GPU

[prime jasper]

how about the intel cpus?which intel cpu suits it

[supple bane]

your best option for your price range would be i5 9600k. but thats only 6 core 6 thread for 200 where as the 3600 is 6 core 12 thread for 160....

[prime jasper]

oh so the ryzen 5 3600 should be better

[supple bane]

yeah

[prime jasper]

ok

thanks

[opaque saddle]

well its the worst time to go for intel

[supple bane]

pretty much

[opaque saddle]

i went from amd to intel and back to amd

[supple bane]

amd are owning every sector right now. low end gaming (2400g) mid range gaming (2700) high end (3700x) work station (thread ripper) and server (epyc)

[opaque saddle]

nothing wrong with intel, but its just too expensive compared to Ryzen

[supple bane]

like what even happened to 10th gen intel?

[opaque saddle]

10nm and 14+++ i guess

[supple bane]

that has been forgotten about all ready

[opaque saddle]

havent heard of anyone getting intel in the last 4 months

[supple bane]

and its only been out for a few months. zen 2 has been out for ages now and there is still hype around it

this is how much of a fan boi i am

both my wall papers are ryzen wall papers

[opaque saddle]

im actually using macbook right now with my own photos in the background

[supple bane]

its annoying that when you have a 1440p display and a 1080p display the screen shots come out like that

just looks weird

[opaque saddle]

unless you made the 1st one as 1080p

or the second one make it to 1440p

[supple bane]

yeah but then its blur fest

[opaque saddle]

its possible to do it in nvidia

[supple bane]

if you run a monitor at anything but its standard reso's it just is un-bearably blurry

[opaque saddle]

coz it isnt the native resolution

i'm using 1440x900 actually

[prime jasper]

you have to use DLSS or RIS to make sure its not blurry at non native resolutions

[opaque saddle]

but the res is 4 times sharper than standard 1440x900

[prime jasper]

or use your gpu's geometric upscaling

[keen prism]

Oy

[errant cairn]

Hei

[prime jasper]

someone playing bf5 on a gtx 860m ?

[keen prism]

I bought my pc today gents

[supple bane]

@prime jasper you won't be playing bfv on that

I'd be surprised if the game even launched

[queen rose]

hi on dx11 bf crashes to desktop, any workaround?

on dx12 my computer freezes and shuts down

[prime jasper]

turn off overclocks and try again

shutting down may be overheating

[queen rose]

everything on default

mhmh okay ill watch that, bfV is the only game which makes trouble

[molten bramble]

Hmm, anyone used this company before? They seem to have some pretty solid stuff. https://www.datapro.net

I am considering building a new shock-mounted system inside of a Pelican case to replace my old portable SKB rig.

[ashen ether]

Does anyone track how much data bfv use in 1 breakthrough match?

[molten bramble]

https://www.evdodepotusa.com/much-data-does-battlefield-v-use/

^ via Google.

[prime jasper]

Ok

[fresh light]

If anyone knows would a Radeon RX 580 be good enough to run BFV?

[mortal shard]

it should be fine

i am using a r9 390 from years ago

100+ fps low 1080p

[prime jasper]

So which amd would be good for ultra settings?

Mmmm nice

[mortal shard]

5700xt

[prime jasper]

I'll check it out one sec

[mortal shard]

essentially same performance as 2080Ti at 1080p for BFV

at like 1/3 the price

[prime jasper]

woah

[mortal shard]

but this only applies to BFV

other games are nowhere near

[prime jasper]

Ok

[mortal shard]

BF favors AMD by a ton

but 5700xt is the best ~400-450 card for the performance

[fresh light]

so the AMD would work well for other games too? or are the other games nowhere near demanding

[mortal shard]

as long as you don't care about NVENC for streaming

or ray tracing

[prime jasper]

You know I tried buying an RTX 2060 with an external GPU box but before I bought it I called Asus if my laptop is compatible with an external GPU and they said no even tho it has a Thunderbolt 3 port

If I want better fps I have to buy a completely new laptop

Smh

[mortal shard]

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/amd-radeon-rx-5700-and-5700-xt-review,13.html

that's for bfv, you can read the entire thing

[prime jasper]

gaming laptops are a myth

[mortal shard]

linus tech also just released a video on graphics card buyer guide for different budget

sounds pretty reasonable

[prime jasper]

I'll take a look at that

[mortal shard]

but if bfv is your main game and you are looking at 300-450 price range

amd is a no brainer

[prime jasper]

I play many other games but bf v is kinda my fav next to Minecraft

[mortal shard]

unless you really need certain tools

[prime jasper]

I know it's a weird combination

Is it also good for editing with adobe premiere?

[fresh light]

you could run mc on a school computer so graphics card isn't that important for it unless you do modded mc

[prime jasper]

I know

[mortal shard]

intel chips work a bit better afaik

for cpu

for adobe premier

[prime jasper]

Ah ok

Right now I have an I7 7700HQ

[mortal shard]

but i whole heartedly recommend ryzen

[prime jasper]

It gets the job done

Ok

[mortal shard]

if you do anything even remotely outside of agaming

especially if you do content creation

[prime jasper]

Yeah

[mortal shard]

gaming is like max 10% slower

[prime jasper]

I kinda started uploading meme edits of bf v recently

[mortal shard]

comparing the 9900ks and the 3900x

the 3900x is just so much better at everything else

[prime jasper]

Interesting

[mortal shard]

you can read reviews and watch videos on those

[prime jasper]

Let's say you want the same performance for everything. Then you would boy intel CPUs right?

[mortal shard]

?

what do you mean

[prime jasper]

I mean

Idk

[ashen ether]

Who plays multiplayer games at Ultra

[prime jasper]

Eh just forget it

My English cucks anyway

[mortal shard]

you go 2080ti and run everything low, and then run more scripts to make it look crappier

[ashen ether]

Ultra settings is only good for Single Player story games

Multiplayer is best played at medium

[prime jasper]

@ashen ether yo I actually enjoy playing all games on ultra

It's called immersion

[fresh light]

Why not play on ultra?

[mortal shard]

lower fp

[prime jasper]

Cuz I can't

[mortal shard]

fps

[ashen ether]

Ultra = visual distraction

[mortal shard]

most people who play competitively just put everything at low, unless certain settings make them see more stuff

[prime jasper]

I know that

[mortal shard]

like draw distance

[ashen ether]

Even if I get a NASA gpu I'd still play on medium

Btw @mortal shard love your vids

[mortal shard]

thanks

[ashen ether]

I dont really play tanks but i love watching people play

[prime jasper]

But I play as a hobby and not to be good even tho I'm becoming significantly better recently

I'm not a hardcore gamer lol

[mortal shard]

lol just play however you want to play

[prime jasper]

I also have a life outside of gaming you know

Epic

[ashen ether]

But I do love being a gunner on a tank when my driver knows what he's actually doing

[mortal shard]

gunner is fun in a stug iv

[prime jasper]

I have one last question for Azura. How much time did it take to get to 10k subs

[ashen ether]

Most tanks players i've seen doesnt care about the gunners.

Like they dont give us angles

[prime jasper]

Just asking

[mortal shard]

started channel in feb this year

[prime jasper]

Woah that's fast

[ashen ether]

One time I had a tank driver who liked to face the tank sideways from the action

[mortal shard]

and you know who's fast? freaking pelican

lol

[prime jasper]

I know

I used to watch his bf 1 vids

[ashen ether]

I didnt have any angle and he's like begging for his tracks to get disabled

[mortal shard]

he became a meme and literally went through the roof haha

[prime jasper]

lol

[fresh light]

Yeah most tanks just kinda do their own thing while the gunner has to try to protect them

[prime jasper]

But it's funny how pelican had to delete his discord server due to toxicity

[mortal shard]

you do have to angle your tank

yea i heard

anyway, this is tech channel

lol

[prime jasper]

Oh yeah

[ashen ether]

[prime jasper]

Ight imma head out

[ashen ether]

@mortal shard btw what you mean bfv favors amd?

Cpu or gpu?

[mortal shard]

gpu

like 5700xt gives the same fps as a 2080ti for 1080p

[ashen ether]

Im going to get a laptop next year which should I choose

[mortal shard]

not sure about laptop

[ashen ether]

R5 3550H or I5-9300H? Both are 1650

[mortal shard]

i have no clue about mobile cpu/gpu

i just know they are basically last gen stuff and worse than desktop counterpart

[ashen ether]

Reason why im getting a laptop because of college

[latent light]

RX 5700XT performs similar to the RTX 2080 Super in BFV

$300 cheaper too

[mortal shard]

for higher resolution yes

for 1080p actually more like 2080ti

[latent light]

I also think frametimes are smoother for AMD in BFV

[mortal shard]

battlefield has always favored AMD

in terms of gpu

but nvidia was pushing their RTX stuff and bf became a testing ground so now it is all the RTX hype

but AMD is really the one that works better with battlefield

or the frostbite engine in general

like way better

i never get stutters that other nvidia/console people complain about

r9 390 from way back too

[latent light]

I've got a RX 580 and I can play with everything on ultra and never drop below 60 fps

if I want high fps, set everything to low and stay above 100 fps and average around 130-140

[mortal shard]

i need amd to release their 5800xt or whatever they are planning.. their big navi

then maybe i will get it

right now my r9 390 is enough to get me 100+ fps on low

so i am like whatever..

[latent light]

5700XT is 40 compute units, I'm sure there is a 60 CU Navi card in the works

with up to 50% higher performance

which would be roughly 10-20% faster than the 2080Ti depending on games lol

[mortal shard]

yea

named it nvidia killer

but then nvidia is also working on their new gen card

will see how that goes

lol

i think also 7nm

[ashen ether]

I still play on a 750ti with 25 to 30 fps

[mortal shard]

25..

[ashen ether]

Not even 1080p

[mortal shard]

gee man

[latent light]

750Ti should get over 30 fps with everything set to low lmao

[mortal shard]

that's rough

[ashen ether]

@latent light cpu bottleneck

[latent light]

my old 770 would get above 60 fps on everything low

[ashen ether]

A10 9700

[latent light]

oh

[mortal shard]

hum.....

[latent light]

yeah when it comes to AMD, you need at least a Ryzen CPU to play at good fps

[mortal shard]

for college

i think you may want a desktop

and get a cheap chromebook for laptop

lol

if you want light weight laptop, you can't game on those

[latent light]

yeah a $200 laptop is enough for school

[mortal shard]

if you want good laptop for gaming, it is heavy as hell and you don't want to bring it to class

[latent light]

even a Intel Celeron laptop would work fine

yeah gaming laptops are bulky and can be loud

[mortal shard]

cheap light weight laptop.. even chromebook will work

all you need is to get online, use google sheet or google doc for note taking

then go back to dorm and use desktop for real work

[opaque saddle]

I preferred to type on a lightweight laptop that doesn’t generate heat as others

[mortal shard]

yea

[opaque saddle]

I was using my iPad for school back then

[mortal shard]

you can put on lap if you want

and so on

big bulky laptops are just not worth it

[opaque saddle]

Exactly. Laptop is lap top

[mortal shard]

much better to just have a separate desktop for gaming or what not

[opaque saddle]

Get a desktop for gaming, bulky laptops aren’t an ideal solution for gaming

[mortal shard]

bulky laptops aren't ideal for gaming nor class

[opaque saddle]

I saw people got those for uni

[mortal shard]

it's terrible

[opaque saddle]

One of them weighted 9kg or something

[mortal shard]

lmao

[opaque saddle]

Thick Alienware gaming laptop with bricks

[mortal shard]

and they need a bag the size of a big trash bag

to carry that around campus

[opaque saddle]

I usually bring a MacBook to uni, sometimes only with my iPad

[mortal shard]

nah it's probably one of the worse things you can do

not takling about mac

[opaque saddle]

Weight, size and heat are the main issues

[mortal shard]

yep

battery too

those alienware laptop gives you 2 hour top

lol

[opaque saddle]

I can use my MacBook for 9-14 hours straight....

[latent light]

I've built a $300 PC for my friend, it was a used Dell Optiplex for $120 with an i7-4790, 8GB ram and 1TB harddrive, I put another $20 8GB stick in it and put a low profile GTX 1650 in it for $160

[opaque saddle]

They left space for hardware and cooling, not the battery

The mid end gaming desktop can be as cheap as 400 bucks

[latent light]

if you're going under $500, go with used stuff

[opaque saddle]

3500x with 1660ti, 16gb ram, 240gb ssd, psu and b350m motherboard

And a case as well

[mortal shard]

rx580 probably does the job

[opaque saddle]

All for 414 USD (or 698AUD)...

[mortal shard]

better if you can snatch one used

[latent light]

sometimes you see people selling a decent i7 with motherboard included for $100 or less

[opaque saddle]

depends, coz you care barely run newer titles on the old i7, I meant they still works

4 5 and 6 gen i7 performs pretty much the same

[latent light]

the best new CPU for value is the Ryzen 5 2600

[opaque saddle]

3?

[mortal shard]

yea pretty damn cheap

[opaque saddle]

Or 2?

[mortal shard]

depends on the price

[opaque saddle]

I got a 3600 as well

[mortal shard]

3600 is best in zen2 for prrice to performance

[opaque saddle]

If you want more free games as well. 3700x is an ideal cpu

[mortal shard]

3600 + 5700xt => success in bfv

[opaque saddle]

I got 2070s

[mortal shard]

go nvidia if you like the other stuff it comes with

and if you play a ton more other games

a bit less performance for the same price in that price range

[opaque saddle]

Not sure if you guys have realised the colours differences between AMD and Nvidia

[latent light]

AMD used to be green

[mortal shard]

not sure, haven't touched nvidia for a bit

[opaque saddle]

And the effects

[latent light]

oh you mean display colors

[opaque saddle]

Yeah, by default

[mortal shard]

dunno

[opaque saddle]

They looks slightly different

[latent light]

yeah AMD cards have a wider color-bit range or something like that

[opaque saddle]

The smoke effect on Nvidia cards looks way way better

[latent light]

but you can have the same range with Nvidia if you change a setting in the control panel

[opaque saddle]

16-235 or something

[latent light]

smoke effect?

[opaque saddle]

Yeah

I shall show you a video or something

Can’t find it unfortunately

[ashen ether]

Just SLI the 1030 then you get a 2060

[mortal shard]

if i quad sli then 4120

[supple bane]

I don't think that's how that works

I wish it did tho

[hoary ember]

😩

[dapper walrus]

hey guys

im gonna paste my problem here

hello lovely people
i got a problem, maybe u can help me
after the latest patch
ive noticed something
the server list does not show PING for me
and today
ive been getting HORRIBLE ping
like 300 constant
and getting kicked for 1100 ping
ive just checked, no-ones in my house is updating or downloading pron
restarted the router and checked the wifi channels
also deleted onedrive
im lost
cant do my challenges cause i get kicked " lost connection" all the time

getting so frustrated

[supple bane]

firstly. what country do you live in and what servers are you playing on ?

[dapper walrus]

Estonia

and usually somewhere in the EU

normal server list ping is around 40-41

now i cant even see the ping in the server list

[supple bane]

what other games do you play ? do you suffer from connection problems in those games too ?

[dapper walrus]

I play mudrunner, farming sim etc, no, no connection problems

not a big gamer, BF5 has been something for me for the past few months so

its basically all i play

csgo also

no problems

it started after the latest patch

idk

[supple bane]

try join a server through the server browser instead of just seaching for one to make sure that you are connecting to EU servers and not something else.

[river wyvern]

sMoKe eFfeCts lOoK bEtTeR oN nViDiA

[dapper walrus]

thats exactly what i did

[supple bane]

and its the same ?

[dapper walrus]

and the ping in the server browser does not show uüp

up

"server list" and no ping on any of the servers showin up

[river wyvern]

@opaque saddle Unless you have DXR on they look exactly the same lol

[supple bane]

no not necessarily.

different drivers and processing methods can produce different effects

@dapper walrus i really dont know. just to make sure. run an internet speed test so i can see what sort of connection you have https://www.speedtest.net

dm me a screen shot of the result

[dapper walrus]

just did that

[supple bane]

yeah so its not your end. how are you connecting to your router ? wired or wireless

[river wyvern]

The only things different is the color scheme and performance

The effects is render by GPU and instructed by the engine of what the game is runnin on

And also API

[dapper walrus]

i got a wireless setup

[river wyvern]

So drivers has no to minimal effects on smoke effects

[supple bane]

how far are you from your router ?

[dapper walrus]

uhm 10 meters for the past 4 years

ive checked all the devices too

like other laptops and such

[supple bane]

ok i really wouldnt know then. your best option is

Usually they will limit your connection or usage if you have unusual connection

[supple bane]

he just ran a speed test and his connection is fine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/660115968399507486/660115986003001344/unknown.png

[river wyvern]

Or maybe there is a hidden firewall

Wow that's pissed poor
Is that local route or international route?

[supple bane]

it might be slow compared to modern standards but for gaming it is fine

[river wyvern]

I paid $15 for a 90 Mbps

So maybe he paying not a lot

[molten bramble]

@supple bane As a sidebar--just wanted to tell you publicly thank you for always being so willing to help the other users on this server. You're insightful and knowledgeable, and I for one (as I suspect the rest of the staff does) appreciate having you here.

[supple bane]

yes but you dont know where he lives. he might be in a rural village were decent internet is a fortune

thank you hyrda !

[keen prism]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JdzZQq

[river wyvern]

Yea I saw people from 3rd world country with 15Mbps connection

[keen prism]

That's the build I bought

Tell me what ya'll think

[river wyvern]

At least they can read articles and watch youtube

[keen prism]

Lol goodness

[prime jasper]

good build, cutting it close on that PSU though

[keen prism]

15mbps is damn near what 90s routers ussed

[supple bane]

yeah your really pushing that psu to its limits

[river wyvern]

That 3700x gonna burn the mobo VRM

[prime jasper]

a 650 or 750 would cost similarly

[river wyvern]

Seriously

[prime jasper]

the VRM will be fine, the firmware wont allow that to happen

it will pull clocks and current before it blows up

[river wyvern]

I suggest getting X370

[prime jasper]

or x570? lol

x370 is out of production

[river wyvern]

X370

[opaque saddle]

that b450 is fine

[river wyvern]

They're around $140
I mean that B450 Tomahawk is kinda good

[supple bane]

yeah mobo is fine. as long as it supports zen 2 out of the box which as far as im aware it does

[opaque saddle]

one of the best performed mb for 3700x, with b450

[prime jasper]

this isnt the bulldozer days, firmware is much better and smarter about thermal management

[keen prism]

And max already has updated bios

Which is current for 3000 series

[prime jasper]

true

but you really should consider a better psu

[river wyvern]

4xx dont need BIOS update for Zen 2?

[prime jasper]

some dont

some do

[river wyvern]

Good to know
My 3600 about to arrive in a few days

[prime jasper]

update it now then before it arrives

[dapper walrus]

hey alist

[river wyvern]

It's still running 1700 and no update out of box

Gonna do that now

[dapper walrus]

its all i can get in my cottage as for speed

[prime jasper]

lol

[keen prism]

Yeah the b450 max already are updated

[river wyvern]

@dapper walrus I meant that decent even for downloading games

Just let your PC or laptop run overnight

[dapper walrus]

yes its ok. i get about 4mb/s down speed on games tho

[keen prism]

I'm only sitting at 419w though

The psu is 550

[river wyvern]

Always goes for Single rail

[keen prism]

I'm not doing anything crazy either

[river wyvern]

I encouter a lot of problem with Dual rail PSU in the past

[prime jasper]

your GPU is recommended for use with a 650w PSU

[supple bane]

yeah but hardware will always get spikes in power usage.. a lot of people recommend having 200w breathing room just in case god forbid all your hardware was to spike in power usage at the same time

[prime jasper]

this^

[river wyvern]

Dont buy PSU over wattage

Notice other factors too

[molten bramble]

@prime jasper I want to say the same as above about you--thank you, you've been here 10 months and very helpful and know your tech!

[prime jasper]

Thanks Mr. Many-headed Santa! I work in corporate IT so I sit here and get paid to shitpost lol

[molten bramble]

One moment, the Roomba is humping a throw rug.

[river wyvern]

A 650W is actually quite enough for your build

[prime jasper]

yes it is

550, not so much

@river wyvern @latent light

take a look of what i meant

earlier on

[river wyvern]

The only things differ them is color scheme

NVIDIA seems to render scence with more realistic color scheme

[opaque saddle]

not only that

[river wyvern]

Radeon color scheme is more vibrant and sometime washed out

It's can be a bug

[prime jasper]

the huge variable here is your own monitor. Its type, its calibration profile, its factory settings, hdr or no, etc

calibrating a monitor can make a world of difference

[opaque saddle]

and this

for 99.99% of the time i cannot spot out the differences tbh

[river wyvern]

It can be a bug and depends on game

Most of the time the difference is just colors

[opaque saddle]

the tone

[river wyvern]

Oh I also saw spike occurs on NVIDIA

[keen prism]

So what psu would you guys recommend?

I can just buy another and return this one

[river wyvern]

I think it is because of Enhanced Sync on AMD

[opaque saddle]

at least 80+

[river wyvern]

It's good

[prime jasper]

@keen prism look at 650w units

[river wyvern]

550W wont kill your GPU

No it's actually OK

[opaque saddle]

im using 620w 80+ bronze for my

3600 and 2070s

[river wyvern]

S12II?

[opaque saddle]

m12II

[prime jasper]

lol the GPUs own factory spec sheet recommends 650w or more

ignore that at your own risk

[river wyvern]

I use too used 350W GPU on R7 290X

[opaque saddle]

i also put my 960 into it

it works fine but

[river wyvern]

It's work fine for 2 years

[opaque saddle]

it can be a bit unstable and it heats up my room

[river wyvern]

No low rail problem

[opaque saddle]

i use my 960 for background stuff, and 2070s for gaming

[river wyvern]

Theory and manual is not 100% can be applied

[opaque saddle]

you can use 2080s on 650w-700w system tho

[river wyvern]

Wait you put a 960 with a 2070s in the same build

[opaque saddle]

yeah

[river wyvern]

How?

[opaque saddle]

no SLI

[river wyvern]

It's not like laptop where you use iGPU and dGP

It's impossible

[opaque saddle]

i use both at the same time

[river wyvern]

Can U screenshot any spec software
