latent light Feb 29, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

some old games might not support 60 fps though because many are built on an engine that supports only 30 fps
increasing framerate to 60 fps can break those engines, or just flat out isn't possible without rebuilding the game as a whole

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:46 AM

#

@latent light The higher the framerate the faster you move
Fallout 76 cough cough

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

I believed if it doesn’t work at 60fps. It shall upscale it to 8k 30fps or hghest res as possible (it looks really bad with textures) then downscale to the monitor resolutions.

#

In this case, if they can work out to scale the HUD and menu tabs in games. It shouldn’t be an issue running 8k or 120hz on older titles

#

I remember CS has an issue where the texture sucks at higher res, the HUD looks relatively small at 4K but it runs much higher res than 1024x768

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

@opaque saddle The combination of Super Sampling, Ai Upscaling and TXAA

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

I know people are making programs to make 24fps video into 120 or 240fps videos. Or upscale from 480p to 1080 or even 4K

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:55 AM

Rasterization may actually works

DLSS also

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:55 AM

I fire up Orcrina of Times on RTX card with DLSS enabled mod and it crisp the image so amazing

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:56 AM

Couldn’t even run 1080p low settings at even 20fps lmao on my 2070s

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

I tried it on an Pascal card but the result is not the same

#

probably poor optimization

#

Even a multi million dollar studio hale in compare to a mod written by a normal person Thonk

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

I also doubt the 12TFLOPS can do all of these at the same time. Unless really good optimisations with older titles

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

Just Supersampling and TXAA

#

They won't bother to optimize it

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

Too much time money and efforts

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

Supersampling works horribly onr XB1X

#

So I doubt it will work nicely on next gen

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 1:59 AM

Also people were saying they can properly run minecraft at 8k 120

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 1:59 AM

Yea they can

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

That’s possibly true coz older titles can. The newer can’t

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

The new game is written in C++

#

Under new engine

#

It run much better than the Java version

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:00 AM

New games uses too much resources and I doubt it runs smoothly at 8k 30

y'all remember when the Xbox 360 was more advanced than any consumer computer at the time because it introduced unified shader tech, which wasn't on PCs until July 2007, also was the first device to have a 6-threaded CPU

It can do 2-3%

Bulldozer was blamed for all of this

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:07 AM

I think it does slows down the pc

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Well because CPU spit task in parellel way

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:07 AM

It may uses 2 cores max due to

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

The optimisation

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

2 fast cores handle demanding task

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

I guess the last core will be idling for most of the time while running the program

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

The parrellel 2 cores-2 cores help the Cpu easy to split the amount of tasks needs to handle while Hyper-threading keeping spliting tasks

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

Or the other two got 100% usage but he last one got 50

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:09 AM

3 cores makes the CPU splits and handles tasks harder

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:09 AM

HT isn’t a thing these days it slows down pc

Before AMD bought ATI, AMD's board used to have NVIDIA's North Bridge chip soldered on

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

AMD APUs should be much more powerful this year, already showing 60% more performance per CU

#

but we may only get 8 CU at max instead of 11, something to do with 7nm die size

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

60% per compute units?

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

They got a few years to explore the 14 12 and 7nm tech

So the amds 7mm just like INTEL needs another year to two to optimise

Anyone thought 28nm was revolutionary

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

7-5nm is more

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:23 AM

Intel 7nm is supposed to come out late 2021, very possible because the team working on it didn't have to restart, unlike 10nm

And hot too

#

4 cores 4 shitloads

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

Turbo boost is what it makes your CPU hot

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

AMD was putting most of their R&D budget into graphics cards from 2006-2014, then Lisa su stepped in and wanted to shift more of the budget to CPUs and now we have Zen

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Even it draws 80w on my MacBook

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

Wait 80W on a laptop

#

That have 10 hours battery

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

I thought zen started just before the she became the president

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

she wanted to build a new architecture that scales much better than Bulldozer

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

Yeah you know it’s meant to be a 45w cpu that limited to 35w

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

and they put a lot of time and money into it

#

Zen 14nm has over 40% higher IPC than Bulldozer

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

40%

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

But with turbo boost it increases 50%+ performance but also draw twice or triple as much as power

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Something you won't see everyday with Intel

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

What about zen vs zen 2

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

3% IPC gain, 200 MHz higher clocks

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

I guess more than that

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

somehow games see about 10% more performance going from Zen to Zen+

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Yeah

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

despite the IPC gain not being much

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Zen+ improve cache latency

#

And that's it

#

They apparently introduce Infinity Fabric thingy

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

The game engines needs to be more optimised to AMD

#

To save money

#

Coz they can build as many cores as they would like, but saving a lot of money and make it more affordable

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Zen3 (Ryzen 4000) is looking to be as big of a jump as Zen2, maybe bigger due to the fact that they're getting rid of the dual 4-core CCX design and making pure 8-core singular CCX chiplets. On top of that, unifying L3 cache on each chiplet is gonna make a massive improvement for core communication and cache/memory latency

#

Zen3 is 7nm+ but it's a whole new microarchitecture

I smelt Corona in the air

Good to see AMD is back on track vs intel

#

It benefits the users the most

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

We need CPU tech to advance fast because new powerful graphics cards are coming out soon (Ampere and RDNA2), otherwise we will see CPU bottlenecks even with the flagships, like the Ryzen 9 3950X and i9-9900K

crude creek Feb 29, 2020, 2:46 AM

next gen is that fast huh?

#

tf

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:46 AM

Ampere could be anywhere from 50-70% faster than Turing

sinful mantle Feb 29, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

no one needs next gen yet

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

i9-9900K can bottleneck the 2080Ti in some games at 1080p

#

so we definitely need faster CPUs soon

sinful mantle Feb 29, 2020, 2:47 AM

not until bf6 we dont

#

you buy next gen now youll be buying the next gen again

its a game of catch up if you play it that way

I kinda regret getting the 3600

sinful mantle Feb 29, 2020, 2:48 AM

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:48 AM

I should get 3700x instead

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:48 AM

3600 is better value

sinful mantle Feb 29, 2020, 2:54 AM

yeah thats about right

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:54 AM

1050 ti is about a fraction faster

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:56 AM

RDR2 was optimized greatly on console

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

Not on pc

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

At least it is not GTA IV

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

RDR2 on the base Xbox One and PS4 looks like 1080p with medium/high settings

#

or could be 900p

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

Xbox One is 892p

#

Xbox One X is a full 2160p natively

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

What frame rate is it

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

sometimes it dips to 1920p

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

yeah pretty crazy they went full 4K on the One X

#

it aims for steady 30 fps

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

Lmao

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

PS4 Pro is at around 1620p-1440p

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

dropping the resolution slightly to keep it 30 fps

sinful mantle Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

30 fps is decent

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

That's why Pro ran better framerate than X

#

X had so much to handle

latent light Feb 29, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

X also has HDR

#

I imagine the One X has a good framerate on a 1080p TV

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

All consoles have HDR

#

But... RDR2 HDR is faked

#

It's useless

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

I think HDR isn’t a big deal for me

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 3:01 AM

#

Yea other games like GOW, Forza 4 or Spiderman.HDR effect is must have

#

But RDR2 HDR is the reason the game is blurry

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

Back in my era, people uses HDR widely used in photography draws negative feedbacks. Is what it makes me feels HDR is kinda bad

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

HDR usually boost contrast too much

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

Coz it makes the real images dontlooks “real”

#

The skin tones looks relatively bad on HDR

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 3:03 AM

#

In area that is bright, the color look like shit

#

Also in dark area as well

#

It's only good in area that has moderately amount of light and reflection

opaque saddle Feb 29, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

If I want light and reflection. I just need Ray Tracing but with performance loss

river wyvern Feb 29, 2020, 3:07 AM

Wow this gen age very well

supple bane Mar 1, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

servers will always have issues, its not ea's fault

mild bough Mar 1, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

i bet they're adding an update so we have to pay to connect to servers

opaque saddle Mar 1, 2020, 1:03 PM

I remember the OCE servers on BF1 took them almost a year or two to “fix” it

hello, i search help in turkish or germany my english is very very llittle my origin was crashed

#

i dont can open the origin

humble scarab Mar 1, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

So
I'm playing BF1
I have constant 39 ping, which means there's no connection issues, but the connection issues icon still displays

#

Is there any ways I can fix this or to turn off the warning icons

sinful mantle Mar 1, 2020, 4:51 PM

i turned mine off but I forgot how...probably in settings/game

you don't need $3000 for a PC unless you are doing 4K

I'm going 4k brother.

144hz is better if you play competitively

144hz means smoother fps, faster response time

do you want to build the PC yourself?

prime jasper Mar 2, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Probably not.

#

Should I?

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

usually doing it yourself means you're not relying on a manufacturer to do it for you, some companies put lower quality components in PCs, even in $3000 prebuilt PCs

prime jasper Mar 2, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

Is it difficult to build it yourself?

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

not really, I'd recommend buying a Windows 10 USB key so you can install Windows hassle free

#

putting the PC together yourself will take up to 2 hours for a first time builder

why does battlefield 4 say BF4 is hosted on third-party-owned servers and EA is unable to confirm the accuracy of player counts" when i open the game
and all servers are empty

prime jasper Mar 2, 2020, 8:50 AM

exactly what it says

some server owners pad the player numbers in an effort to get traffic. It doesn't work but they persist

I want to upgrade my rig

Wyt?

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:24 PM

just get a new graphics card and you'll see a difference

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:25 PM

oh

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:25 PM

yes

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:25 PM

yeah it is a bottleneck

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:26 PM

ye

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

the Ryzen 5 3600 can support up to the RTX 2080 without bottlenecking lol

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:26 PM

so is this good?

#

with the mobo

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:26 PM

yeah CPU and mobo is good

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

gpu not?

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

GPU isn't sufficient if you're aiming at 144hz gaming or 1440p or higher

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

nah nah nah

#

i am happy with 80-100 fps

#

1080p

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

do you have 60hz monitor?

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

ye

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

then you're not experiencing 80-100 fps

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

but i feel the difference between 60 and 100

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

that's about it

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:28 PM

yea

and thats most important

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:29 PM

having 144hz monitor would make everything feel smoother

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

also dont want to limit myself

#

cause i might buy better monitor in the future

#

nearest

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

also 80-100 fps on 60hz monitor will have screen tearing and frametime inconsistencies

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

🤔

#

but i dont see tearing on 100+ fps on my monitor

#

and with 60 fps i see massive tearing

#

while i cap fps at 60 my screen is just tearing apart

#

while at 100 fps i cant even notice it while playing

#

and as i said i might buy another monitor in the nearest future

z170 to b450

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:36 PM

1660 Super isn't a massive upgrade over the 970, it's about 25% faster and has 2.5GB more memory

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

it is

#

bf5 ultra was barely 60 fps

#

now i can hit 90fps

#

but cpu is holding me down

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

my RX 580 does 70-80 fps on ultra, BFV does like AMD cards though

#

hence why a $400 RX 5700XT gets the same performance as a $700 RTX 2080 Super

what cpu you have

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 10:41 PM

since you have a Ryzen 5 3600 now, you can get a 2070 Super or even 2080 Super and not bottleneck

just choose the ones that would help you not all of them

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:17 PM

you dont have to set the generic settings

leave it at default

you wont get ultra with your card

at least with decent frames

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

why not?

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:19 PM

if you go default and use the custom...some of your settings will be high some will be medium

because ultra is very demanding as it utalizes every setting..for example...do you have motion blur on?

ssd drives are set for one off writing. you can but if you write over a already used bit it will slow it down

have a hard time understanding what you mean

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 11:30 PM

Mini-ITX boards are a more niche product, so must sell at a higher price to compensate for lower sales figures

you can overwrite magnet drives but not ssd drives...i mean you shouldnt

you're okay nothing is harmed just try not to delete programs.

what about often system reinstalls?

Overall this PC is performing above expectations (70th percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 30 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components.

what do i do now

maybe its the new windows update?

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:52 PM

i have an idea...why dont you try system restore from before you upgraded your drivers?

#

nvidia drivers i mean

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

i reinstalled

#

the system

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:52 PM

or maybe try and resort to older drivers

ahh

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:53 PM

fresh clean

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 11:53 PM

i can try to uninstall new drivers

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:53 PM

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:54 PM

oh btw

latent light Mar 2, 2020, 11:54 PM

make sure fast boot is enabled in your bios

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:54 PM

when i reinstalled system

#

i couldnt install drivers

#

for gpu

#

it said i cant because of my windows version

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:55 PM

when you got the new card you got new drivers with it

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

i have a windows 10 from 2016 on my pendrive

#

and i update it to new after installing

#

before when i reinstalled the system i could install gpu drivers right away

#

now i had to update windows first

sinful mantle Mar 2, 2020, 11:56 PM

right

thick copper Mar 2, 2020, 11:56 PM

i hope it all go away

with new mobo and cpu

you can always get a fresh copy of windows or revert

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:00 AM

Damn

#

May it be the issue

#

I have a broken PCI express slot

#

And my GPU is in the other slot

#

?

#

It can be it

#

I forgot about that

sinful mantle Mar 3, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

at settings go to update and security....recovery...

#

then make your selection

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

It's in PCI express x4

#

Gen 3

#

PCI express x16 doesn't read the card

sinful mantle Mar 3, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

anything is possible with PC = personal confuser.....lol

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

?

#

Can be it?

#

PCI express x4 instead of x16

#

?

#

Where I can find fast boot?

molten coral Mar 3, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

PCI x4 could decrease your performance

#

But not really that much as we are talking about a decrease of around 2-10% depending on the card.

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

But it says that my mobo has 2 x16 slots

#

Why then it says x4

#

In bios

molten coral Mar 3, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

what mobo do you have?

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

Z170a g43 plus

#

• 2 x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (support x16, x16/ x4 modes)

#

why its on x4

#

maybe because i have vga monitor?

sinful mantle Mar 3, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY UP TO 32 LANES POSSIBLE...SO IF YOU HAVE ONE 16 THEN THE OTHERS HAVE TO ADD UP TO ANOTHER 16 LANES COMBINED

#

sorry caps

molten coral Mar 3, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

Only reason I can think of is that your mobo thinks there is a another card in the broken PCI slot which causes x16 to go to x4

thick copper Mar 3, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

:/

molten coral Mar 3, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

Normally it would go to x8

I know people would more likely to pair their 3600 with a 2060S or similar cards

i7 4790k + GTX 1070TI since Nov 2014

latent light Mar 3, 2020, 5:18 AM

oh was about to say

1070 Ti came out November 2017

#

it's basically a 1080 with lower memory bandwidth

quick locust Mar 3, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

3600 is decent

#

slightly slower than the older 8700K but a lot cheaper

#

they get close in some things

lofty light Mar 3, 2020, 7:40 AM

#

3600 also has the ability to support newer standards and especially pcie4 in the future if you needed it

quick locust Mar 3, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

yeah, but you need b550A or x570, which costs about same as the cpu or more

#

would make more sense with higher end zen 2 than 3600

lofty light Mar 3, 2020, 7:46 AM

opaque saddle Mar 3, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

I got the budget X570 ASUS PRIME X570P board last year coz it cost as much as the higher end b450 mb

#

Currently paired with 32gb of ram and 2070s. But I should go for 3700x but not 3600. I know future proofing is a myth but for this year I’d say the 3rd gen RYZEN needs it in order to beat with next gen console

quick locust Mar 3, 2020, 9:13 AM

#

i use 8700k, 32 gb ram and 2080 ti

which is rather unbalanced but whatever still runs fine

opaque saddle Mar 3, 2020, 9:23 AM

i dont think thats unbalanced tho. the gpu is/was a high end one back then
