technology

[untold tiger]

I have a Zotac Amp edition that runs 2033MHz to the core out of the box in boost.

[supple bane]

If I crank to ultra its fine. My gpu runs at 100% and I average 92 fps

[untold tiger]

That's utilization.

Some cards prefer you crank the settings.

[supple bane]

Yeah but I want more fps over visuals

[untold tiger]

That's why a 2080 Ti will get shittier frames at 1080p than a 2060 Super

2080 Ti is tuned to run in 6th gear, not 2nd

[supple bane]

Another thing as well, I get the same fps on 1080p as I do on 1440p

Which is weird

[untold tiger]

That's just optimization.

[supple bane]

Because i wouldnt mind playing bfv at 1080p so I could get 144 fps

[untold tiger]

For example, an RX590 is a better 1440p card than a 1660

1660 is technically faster

But the 590 has better VRAM performance - 8GB and on a larger 256-bit interface

So with higher resolution, it'll beat the 1660.

BUT, at 1080p the 1660 is faster

[supple bane]

I think bfv is the game I saw the worst performance increase upgrading to a 2070

Ark is certainly the best

Gone from 50 fps on medium settings to 70 fps on ultra

[untold tiger]

GPU optimization can be weird

[supple bane]

I got 30 fps on ultra before, so it's more than doubled

[untold tiger]

A friend of mine has a 1080p/240Hz monitor, plays CS:GO and shit.

I had to convince him not to get the 2080 Ti because it would be bottlenecked

[supple bane]

Yeah all of my shooter games I managed to optimise to get 144fps, except for bfv

[untold tiger]

2080 Ti won't hit its boost clocks with under 4GB VRAM usage - it'll throttle out

It's optimized for 1440p-4K

He ended up with an RX5700XT

[supple bane]

Iirc for 1080p, they are similar

Although that may have just been for bfv, I dont remember

[untold tiger]

Optimization is interesting. Raw floating point performance doesn't tell the full story, ever.

Look at the Vega 64

Or Radeon VII

I keep telling people for example that PS5 will end up being better than the Series X with its data compression and Gen 4 M.2 running 7.7GBps

Because it can move more data, much faster

On a smaller memory interface

And with a higher GPU clock - that can push polygons like a motherfucker

[latent light]

@untold tiger PS5 SSD has issues

I'm certain it will be the most common hardware problem for the PS5

Also the GPU clocks are evident that the console throttles

2230 MHz is gonna run hot especially when you consider that's like 250 MHz higher than a 5700XT

Going for more compute units rather than higher frequency is a good move by Microsoft

[untold tiger]

It's a new die. I'm expecting higher clocks on all of the RDN2 cards.

But I haven't seen any reported issues on the drive.

10GBps PCI-E gen 4 drives are supposed to hit the market in the fall when AMD drops its new chipsets.

But you're certain the drive will be a problem, based on what exactly?

Faster drives will become more available with B550 and X670

Series X going with a shitty Toshiba laptop M.2 gen 3 drive isn't good future proofing. It's cheaper, sure.

[crimson wolf]

since i got a new headphone and used it while playing games on my pc, i hear weird buzzing noises whenever i open my pc without my headphones but when i put on headphones, i can hear it

also after ejecting the headphones, i can hear everything perfectly again

can someone help?

[shut ibex]

Solution get a new mic

[crimson wolf]

lol ok

👍

[ember hatch]

How do you clean a ps4?

[slate rivet]

anyone use azure virtual machines?

[supple bane]

@slate rivet i have some experience with virtual box

[slate rivet]

cheers granty it's all sorted now 🙂

[storm osprey]

@ember hatch google it, theres a quick fix of just popping off the top and spraying air through the heat sink and fans

a DEEP clean is a lot more involved and basically requires you to take apart the whole system

[storm osprey]

@supple sun 1440p would require better hardware too, so more cost

youd probably save like 200 bucks on gpu alone if you went 1080p

[astral merlin]

Yeah with 1440p I use a i7 9700k for CPU and RTX 2070 Super

[supple sun]

1200 wouldn't get me top of the line?

[storm osprey]

including monitor?

[supple sun]

Yeah

[storm osprey]

uhhhhhh

thats pushing it

[astral merlin]

I think $1200 will be above average in terms of power, but not high

[storm osprey]

assuming you want mouse/keyboard/headphone/headset/monitor/windows

[supple sun]

I want to run BF at 120 fps without any drop

[astral merlin]

Don’t forget desk and chair

[supple sun]

Already have that

[astral merlin]

Ok yeah you’ll need more than $1200

[storm osprey]

120fps minimum for bfv at 1440p would need a pretty good system...

i dont even think wilhelm gets that with his pc

[astral merlin]

Nope

[storm osprey]

(my pc slightly worse and i certainly dont get 120 consistent on low settings at 1440p)

[astral merlin]

BF1 on ultra is about 90-100 FPS

[storm osprey]

bfv is at least one of the most full system demanding games out there though

[astral merlin]

I’m not too sure about BFV though. FPS counter would say I have a constant 144 FPS

[supple sun]

You think 1200 is pushing it for about a year from now tho?

[astral merlin]

But it’s been a while since I played BFV

[supple sun]

Buying part by part as they go on sale?

[storm osprey]

in a year we have no lcue what will happen

pc parts come out almost yearly

and right now every brand is dropping something new in the next 6-9 months

[supple sun]

Yeah I know im not trying to get Top of the line for that moment

[storm osprey]

well if the next cpu/gpu jumps are big jumps you could get a lot of performance for cheap

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gXZrn7

[astral merlin]

Defo pick your GPU + CPU wisely. They were the most expensive parts for me to buy

Mobo too

[storm osprey]

old list above from a different build but even with "budget parts for 1440" youre looking at close to 1k after windows

and i doubt that list above will get your 120 min 1440p for bfv

[supple sun]

What about 120min at 1080?

Massive price reduction?

[storm osprey]

ooooo yea

gpu for good 1080p 144hz would cose you 300 bucks

for 1440p 144hz youre looking at 400 minimum, recommended 500

[astral merlin]

The 2070 Super costed me $530 USD

whew

[supple sun]

That's rough ok

[storm osprey]

that doesnt include better psu to provide more power and the cost difference between 1080p and 1440p

[astral merlin]

CPU is usually $340

Oh yes and be sure to get a good PSU

[storm osprey]

unless you absolutely want more than a 24" monitor, i would get a 24" 1080p

if you NEED more than 27" then you should get 1440p

[supple sun]

I'll be scrolling through reviews like crazy before i purchase anything and referring back here for advice

[astral merlin]

You got lots of options on your table. PC building is daunting at first but it’s really just a whole lot of putting the right screws together

[storm osprey]

@supple sun i recommend going to pc building discord servers

i follow this stuff pretty closely, i have like 80% of the knowledge people in there have

some of the people there are just crazy on top of whats best to get on any given day

but at the same time they can be assholes

i built a pc list for someone, posted it for them

one dude says "thats a trash list"

[astral merlin]

There’s diamonds in the rough for every server

[storm osprey]

goes through the process of building a list for this guy, asking him all the questions i just asked him

he changed 3 parts out that i used

the parts he changed were only slightly better deals

a lot of them are like that, if its not "the best" or optimal, they will say its trash

[honest basin]

How would I add the stat bot to my own server?

[astral merlin]

@storm osprey a few days ago my pc was always freezing when booting up a game or even getting into my desktop. Turns out my RAM was just barely loose

[storm osprey]

thats the worst

[astral merlin]

Just a smidge

It’s all it took to go “guess I’ll die”

Running BF1 on 8GB of ram

[supple bane]

@supple sun if you want 120 fps go 1080p

this may have been mentioned, idk, but i cba to read all that lmao

actually, for 1k, my build fits it perfectly lmao

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WJF6Pn

here, thats my rig

id certainly change a few things, like faster ram and a better psu

[storm osprey]

that mouse

🤮

[supple bane]

What?

The 502?

Best mouse ever made bruv

[astral merlin]

That is a lot of hard drives

[storm osprey]

most overrated mouse ever

right next to finalmouse

[supple bane]

Nope

Best mouse ever made

[storm osprey]

fucking meme of a mouse

[supple bane]

It's the perfect mix between comfort, style, and effectiveness

[storm osprey]

2 redeeming factors to that mouse, good sensor and good switches

[astral merlin]

That mouse looks thicc AF

[supple bane]

It's great for gaming, great for working, looks awsome and is comfortable af

[storm osprey]

everything else is a "gamers mouse" meme rolled into one

[supple bane]

Have you ever tried one?

[storm osprey]

multiple times

[supple bane]

Hmm

[storm osprey]

the last one i tried i gave away

[supple bane]

I'm never going back to an ambidexterous mouse

The ergonomic style is too good

[storm osprey]

sadly they dont small ergo mice

[astral merlin]

Can’t be worse than a trackball mouse

[supple bane]

I've tried the model o, and while its awsome for gaming dont get me wrong

Its wank to work with

Lack of macros, super uncomfortable etc

[storm osprey]

how tf do you think its uncomfortable?

are gotta be a dead hand palm gripper

[supple bane]

Once my g502 hero kicks the bucket I'm getting a g502 lightspeed

[storm osprey]

YOU GOT THE HERO?!

my heart

[supple bane]

Yeah

[storm osprey]

3366 > hero for wired

[supple bane]

Idk why I find them uncomfortable. I just keep on noticing there isnt a place for my fingers

[storm osprey]

yea youre a filthy palm gripper

[supple bane]

Yeah I am

Get used to it

I'd still out aim you

[storm osprey]

#doubt

[supple bane]

#NoDoubt

Even still, it has just 2 extra keys

The 502 has 4

[storm osprey]

you got 22% accuracy on bfv, im at 25%

[astral merlin]

I’ve never used the macros on my mouse

[storm osprey]

non g502 master race

not swinging around a brick helps your aim

[supple bane]

Ok, maybe you would out aim me. But I would still out play you

[storm osprey]

#doubt

[supple bane]

You barely play the game bruv

I play it daily

[storm osprey]

i can not play for a month and still beat you

[supple bane]

Nope

Not having it

You underestimate my british power

[storm osprey]

thats why we left you

heavy ass mouse having across the pond ass having meme mouse having ass brits

[supple bane]

Heheh

Its not that heavy

I haven't weighed it, but I think it weighs 100 grams

[storm osprey]

i think its 110 g without the weights

[supple bane]

Oh

Yeah that's pretty heavy

[storm osprey]

my mouse weighs 55g

[supple bane]

I dont mind it

More control

[storm osprey]

youd probably beat me if you used a light mouse

but with that brick, nope

[supple bane]

And besides, I can still flick np

[storm osprey]

the problem is the inertia of the weight and not being able to stop the momentum

[supple bane]

Welp

[storm osprey]

dropping science on you

[supple bane]

You need to hit the gym more then

[storm osprey]

Ezpz

[storm osprey]

no advertisting here you monster

[supple bane]

Its streamable

[storm osprey]

not impressed

[supple bane]

Well, I'm proving to you I can flick with a heavy mouse

Not trying to impress you

[storm osprey]

you would flick BETTER without a brick

[supple bane]

I have a light mouse tho

[storm osprey]

youd be like a greased 2 year old after candy

[supple bane]

I have a mouse that weighs 60 grams

But I chose to use my "brick" because I feel I have more control

[storm osprey]

placebo

you are tricking yourself

[astral merlin]

TIL the weight of the mouse matters

[storm osprey]

#lightmousemasterrace

[supple bane]

Honestly, I'd say the mouse pad makes more difference than the weight of the mouse

And the gliders on the mouse

Because my mouse mat is super slippy and easy to move the mouse on

[storm osprey]

you know how many csgo pros are using g502?

[supple bane]

0?

[storm osprey]

yes

zowie ec 2b and logitech g pro are probably the 2 most popular mice, they weigh 90g

[supple bane]

Csgo pros also have their keyboards slanted, you dont make much of a point

[storm osprey]

they are pros!

if they slanted and sucked that would be one thing

just join the light side

leave your sinful ways

unlock your full potential

[supple bane]

Hmm

I'll think about it

I can't just go and buy a new mouse, I need to wait for this one to pack it up

[storm osprey]

yea it looks like 95% of pros are using a mouse that weighs less than 95g

[supple bane]

That thing cost me nearly 100 pounds and I love it to death

[storm osprey]

sell it

[supple bane]

I'm not just gonna switch

[storm osprey]

meme/edge lord gamers will buy it

just put on the sell listing "HAS OVER 9 BUTTONS!"

[supple bane]

You have the model o right ?

[storm osprey]

o-

(i have trump hands)

[supple bane]

Idk if that's big or small, I'll assume big

[storm osprey]

o- is smaller version of model o

trump has small hands

[supple bane]

Good to know

The thing is with the model o, my friend had to pay the same price I shipping as the mouse

Because it came from the US

[storm osprey]

dont get a glorious mouse then

theres a ton of good mice out there

g502 is a jack of all trades mouse, but if i took fps serious i would get something else

[supple bane]

I don't just play fps tho

Which is what I'm getting at

[storm osprey]

https://www.rocketjumpninja.com/top-mice

the holy grail

well you can get ANOTHER mouse too

[supple bane]

My main game is ark

[storm osprey]

once you go light you go right

wtf you need mouse bindings for for ark?

[supple bane]

And I do alot of school work, cad, and some video editing on my PC

Hell yeah, my entire mouse is used on ark

[storm osprey]

i do cad on a 4 button mouse

only bound delete to one of them xD

i do set up commands though

cc for copy, rr for rotate

idk poo about video editing

[supple bane]

The cooler master mm710 is kinda interesting

Although I'm still missing out on so much

[storm osprey]

thats a tiny mouse

[supple bane]

I have midget hands dw

[storm osprey]

also razer viper > mm710

razer viper is super good

and theres a mini for 40 bucks

[astral merlin]

Get the middle ground mouse. Logitech G Pro

[supple bane]

No, stop persuading me to spend more money reeee

[storm osprey]

im using a gpro right now, its good but weird at the same time

[supple bane]

I'm happy with the mouse I've got and that's final!

[astral merlin]

G Pro Wireless

[storm osprey]

ahh gpw

[supple bane]

I'll look at getting a light weight mouse when this one packs up

[storm osprey]

havent tried it though thats insanely popular among csgo pros tooo

[astral merlin]

I needed a small mouse and I like the shape of it

[storm osprey]

zowie and logitech are the 2 most used mice brands

[astral merlin]

Yes

[storm osprey]

your name always suggests otherwise...

[astral merlin]

It’s a good disguise

[storm osprey]

understandable

[astral merlin]

Don’t want to catch unwanted attention

[supple bane]

[molten coral]

I want to get the G502 wireless and the charging mousepad but it's 250 euro

[storm osprey]

my case exactly

nacho only uses like 3 inches of mouse pad space

and he has/wants g502

[molten coral]

high dpi

[storm osprey]

#dontbelikenacho

[astral merlin]

€250 for a charging mousepad holy lord

1600 dpi gang

[supple bane]

1k dpi gang

[molten coral]

mousepad is like 120 and the mouse itself is 130

[storm osprey]

disgusting

[astral merlin]

[supple bane]

1k dpi and 6 in game sensitivity

[storm osprey]

you can get sennheiser 6xx for that price

@supple bane that doesnt tell us anything...

[molten coral]

I'll stay with my audio technica M40x's and galaxy buds

[storm osprey]

resolution, windows pointer speed and fov are taken into account too

[supple bane]

I meant to add (on bfv) too the end

Oh jeez

Erm

[storm osprey]

(this is why distance to 360 is my go to measurement)

[supple bane]

1440p, idfk my windows pointer speed and 90 fov

[molten coral]

360?

[supple bane]

Degrees

[storm osprey]

360 spin in game

[molten coral]

oh fuck right

[storm osprey]

easy to calibrate

[molten coral]

i'm just tired can't read

[astral merlin]

Read harder

[storm osprey]

uhhh wtf...

[supple bane]

Seems like too much effort

[storm osprey]

im at 19 inches to 360...

[supple bane]

If I had to guess, mine would be 12

[storm osprey]

actually 19.5 inches

i should get that lower

[molten coral]

I can move my mouse a 110CM with 4CM of mouse movement

[storm osprey]

youre disgusting nacho

and im glad i only play rocket league with you

[supple bane]

To get my sensitivity right, I just shake my mouse around, and adjust the sensitivity

[storm osprey]

ffs granty

[supple bane]

Repeat until its perfect

[storm osprey]

you hurt my soul

[molten coral]

that is what I did as well

[storm osprey]

youre all a bunch of sinners

[molten coral]

Although I've to say I did lower my DPI in valorant by a lot

[astral merlin]

A mouse is a mouse

That is my view

[molten coral]

Don't really need to do 360's in half a seconds

[storm osprey]

if someone is behind you its likely you are dead anyway

[supple bane]

Or be like nyphon, do a 360 in half an hour

[molten coral]

[storm osprey]

i cant do a 360 with a swipe of my mouse

im not making a cod montage

[supple bane]

[storm osprey]

@astral merlin willy no, not you too

[supple bane]

I can do a 180 with one wrist swipe

[astral merlin]

I don’t even know

[molten coral]

I was pretty productive today put all my stuff outside the room and cleaned everything piece by piece.

[storm osprey]

this is why i think im not that good at games, its just a lot of people have settings that are not.. ideal

[molten coral]

Now my setup is super clean again

[astral merlin]

Most use of my mouse is clicking things in HoI4 and Sims

[molten coral]

For some reason I always have a lot of dust in my room

super annoying

[supple bane]

that's a really good opportunity to flex that ultra wide

[molten coral]

No reason to flex

if you already get flexed on by the thought of me having a ultra wide

It's more accurate than moving a feather

[molten coral]

its really not that heavy

[storm osprey]

its 120g minimum!

[supple bane]

@molten coral you take a performance hit with that enabled btw

[storm osprey]

dont you use all the weights too nacho?

[molten coral]

yes i'm a monster

[storm osprey]

ffs

[molten coral]

How big of a performance hit?

[supple bane]

Its about 6%

That was with a 2070, I imagine with a 2080ti it would be much less lmao

[molten coral]

my mouse is 141 grams

[storm osprey]

...

[astral merlin]

Isn’t the point of having a light mouse be better at aiming??

[storm osprey]

that is the point

and low sensitivity for easier adjusting

[molten coral]

That was with a 2070, I imagine with a 2080ti it would be much less lmao
doubt i'll notice anything

[astral merlin]

How is a mouse 141g

[storm osprey]

xD

[supple bane]

Oh another thing with rtx voice!

[molten coral]

lul

[supple bane]

You also filter output audio

So you can filter background noise from something like a pax east convention

Or a computex vid

And it works 100%

[storm osprey]

add 60g to that mouse nacho and you have the average weight of a hamster

youre swinging around 3/4 of a hamster

[supple bane]

I'm British

We use everything

[astral merlin]

You’re a hybrid mix of imperimeters

Yus

Seriously tho

It's so dumb

We use imperial and metric depending on what we are measuring

Imperial for the height of a person. Metric for the weight of a person

[molten coral]

I hate getting new shoes because I don't fit a lot of them

[supple bane]

They do

[molten coral]

I've pretty wide feet

[storm osprey]

light up shoes make me run faster

[supple bane]

You know what they say? Wide feet wide monitor

[molten coral]

I could make a joke but i won't

[storm osprey]

get wide fit shoes

[astral merlin]

When I play on my PC I my feet don’t land on the ground

[storm osprey]

do they not have that in danish land?

[astral merlin]

I usually sit criss-cross

[storm osprey]

lol

[supple bane]

Same!!!

[storm osprey]

thats borderline adorable

[supple bane]

My feet dangle there

[storm osprey]

wtf how tall are you granty?

[supple bane]

I'm 5 foot 6

[storm osprey]

and then you have the bears that nacho and i are

[molten coral]

so that is like 170cm?

[supple bane]

Roughly

[storm osprey]

167.64

[molten coral]

20cm taller then you

[supple bane]

Yeah I'm pretty small

[storm osprey]

im americas average 5'10"

[astral merlin]

It was a pain in the ass to haul my case and monitor

[molten bramble]

granty and willy in their chairs

[molten coral]

lul

[supple bane]

Well, my feet sort of touch the ground

[storm osprey]

just the tips

[supple bane]

If I point them down yeah hehe

Or slide down my chair a lil

[storm osprey]

i like how hydra just posts 1 message and its a question mark

[supple bane]

I could just lower the chair, but then my elbows wouldnt be level with the desk, and I cant deal with that

[storm osprey]

xD

[molten coral]

I need to lower my desk with 2/3CM so it's flush with my elbows but i'm too lazy to do that

[storm osprey]

i wonder what i would hate more

[supple bane]

My friends chair's gas cylinder has broke so he is slowly sinking when he sits on it, and every time he mentions it it makes me burst out laughing I dont know why

[molten coral]

Lol

[storm osprey]

now i imagine granty as an asian guy named grant... which makes no sense to me

[molten coral]

There is someone at my job who weights around 170KG's so we got him a new chair and after 3h the gas cylinder broke

[supple bane]

Hehe

I do look asian @storm osprey

[molten coral]

Now he has a super expensive chair but that chair is so nice

if he isn't at work I always steal his

[storm osprey]

herman miller kind of nice?

[molten coral]

yes

[storm osprey]

holy shit 170kg is 340 pounds!

[supple bane]

But my second name is grant, not my first name

Yeah he pretty chunky

[storm osprey]

ohhh

[molten coral]

So you second name is grant, so the letter Y is your lastname

[storm osprey]

xD

[supple bane]

Wat

Second name = last name

My name is ****** grant

[molten coral]

wtf

that is confusing af

[storm osprey]

you dont have a middle name?

[supple bane]

Yeah I have a middle name

[molten coral]

I've 3 names

All start with a G

[storm osprey]

TRIPLE G

(even though it sounds like KHARBON)

[molten coral]

no

[astral merlin]

Nacho's main data is 3G

[molten coral]

[storm osprey]

your name sounds like carbon

i cant unhear it

[molten coral]

NO

[storm osprey]

its like a throaty H sound that kind of sounds like a K

[astral merlin]

not so techy, now is it?

[storm osprey]

dag nabit i cant keep going back and forth

[supple bane]

I really dont like my first name

I hate it for a matter of fact

[storm osprey]

what is it?

ill tell you one of my 4 names

[supple bane]

It's a secwet

Actually

You can have a clue

Its supposedly the oldest name

[storm osprey]

iry hor?

[supple bane]

Use your brain

Think bible

[storm osprey]

adam

wack

[supple bane]

Wheyyyy

[storm osprey]

i actually googled "oldest name in history"

[supple bane]

Lmao

[storm osprey]

the bible is a lie

[supple bane]

Yeah the "supposedly" was a big hint to that

[storm osprey]

ahh i see

which name do you want of mine?

[supple bane]

I already know your first name

[storm osprey]

ffs how?

[supple bane]

I'm a genius

I'm not

Well

Maybe I dont

[storm osprey]

fuuuuuuu

delete that

its a "secwet"

[supple bane]

Well I know your second name then too

[molten coral]

secwet

[supple bane]

[storm osprey]

how tf do you knw my 2nd name?1

[supple bane]

Begins with a c ends with a z

[storm osprey]

were you in that random chat group trying to figure this shit out?

[supple bane]

Nope

[storm osprey]

hmmmm i suspect youre using one of my links

[supple bane]

I am hehe

Its your YouTube account

[molten coral]

hehe

[supple bane]

Remember you sent that mouse review?

[storm osprey]

oh yea

unboxing*

[supple bane]

Yeah that

[storm osprey]

i never did the review actually

i lied for views

[molten coral]

wow

liar

[storm osprey]

yeaaa...

[supple bane]

See

Ez pz

[storm osprey]

dag nabit

[supple bane]

I subscribed for some reason

[storm osprey]

LOL

i was gonna say "why am i by stodeh?"

[supple bane]

I never knew if that was your name or not, but I guess i know now

I kinda wish I never said how I found out now

And just left it as a mystery

[storm osprey]

i figured it was either that or my steam link

well now i cant tell my middle names

[supple bane]

I mean, cant really do much with a name lol

[storm osprey]

but what about MIDDLE names!?

[supple bane]

Hmm

You have a much more Interesting middle name than me lmao

[storm osprey]

im hispanic and named after my great grandfathers iirc

[supple bane]

Yep

Definitely more Interesting than me

I'm English and named after me dad

[storm osprey]

god?!

[supple bane]

[storm osprey]

hehe

[supple bane]

I was going to be named oscar

And I'm honestly mad at my parents for not doing that

Because oscar Is such a cool name

[storm osprey]

better than adam

[molten coral]

My parents wanted to call my James or the name I now have

[storm osprey]

makes sense

[molten coral]

Kinda wish they did james

[storm osprey]

carbon > james

[molten coral]

[storm osprey]

in english how would you spell the pronunciation of your name?

[molten coral]

uhhh

good question

no clue

@storm osprey

react or anything so I can delete

[storm osprey]

see, if i say your name like how its spelled it doesnt sound like how you say it

[molten coral]

That is mainly because we say letters differently

[storm osprey]

right

and your G sounds like a really hard KH

[molten coral]

maybe

[storm osprey]

its probably a REALLLLYYY hard H

but it has a moment of "K"

yep, sounds like carbon

[molten coral]

Does a gtx 1050 and a i7 8750h run bf1

[untold tiger]

1050 or 1050 Ti @verbal token?

[verbal token]

1050

It's bf1 btw

Laptop

[untold tiger]

The short answer is yes, but not well.

[verbal token]

8gb ram

Oh

[untold tiger]

You're going to want to roll at lower settings

[verbal token]

Weird

When I had the game

Like a week after I got the pc

I could run the game almost on high

Idk why

Now I have temp issues

[untold tiger]

Interesting.

[verbal token]

Do u think my temp is going to be high playing bf1?

[untold tiger]

Maybe your laptop has a 1366x768 display

[verbal token]

Like 80C

Nah

1920x1080 I think

[untold tiger]

I would check

But I mean, are you shopping for a card?

1050 is only a 2GB card. Luckily your CPU is good enough that it should run at 99% utilization.

Which means you're GPU bound

[verbal token]

It is

[untold tiger]

But I could see a mix of high-med-low settings at 1080p and getting at least 60FPS

[verbal token]

Now I'm throttling with everything

Like 60 C on idle

[untold tiger]

Probably need to reapply thermal solution

[verbal token]

I hope I get good Temps on bf1

Yeah

I'm waiting for the shops to come back

But pandemic is a pandemic

[untold tiger]

Honestly, just build a budget PC

[verbal token]

I wanted one too

[untold tiger]

New Ryzen 3 3300X is dirty for $120

[verbal token]

But I have to take mine to school

I wouldn't bring a desktop to school lol

[untold tiger]

Build a Micro ATX for your dorm or house or whatever

[verbal token]

I would build a monster

What do u think I can have with 1000€

[untold tiger]

I might build a LAN box

I'm actually really interested in that new Ryzen 3 dropping in May

[verbal token]

I really cant tell the power of AMD stuff since I don't use it

So I don't know if its good

[untold tiger]

4-core 8-thread 3.8Ghz base, 4.3GHz boost

[verbal token]

Nice

[untold tiger]

Ryzen is the best value/performance

I'm running a Ryzen 7 1700 right now

[verbal token]

Anyway what do u think I can get with 1000€

[untold tiger]

You're in the UK?

[verbal token]

No

Portugal

That's 1100dollars

If I'm right

[untold tiger]

You intend to game at 1080p/144Hz? 1440p?

[verbal token]

Not atm

But maybe

I don't have a 144 hz monitor right now

But I would go for one

[untold tiger]

well, Ryzen 4000 drops in the fall, along with X670 chipset boards

B550 chipsets drop in June, and aim to make Ryzen 3000 more viable

Also, Nvidia 30-series cards and AMD RDNA2 cards drop in the late summer/fall, along with up to 10GBps gen 4 M.2 SSDs

So I'd suggest waiting until fall

Most good games are delayed anyway

[verbal token]

Unfortunately yes

Well I can't wait for the shops to open again so I can repaste my cpu

[untold tiger]

But PC hardware is going to make a pretty big leap forward later this year

[verbal token]

Ikr

[untold tiger]

Next gen consoles are running on that architecture

[verbal token]

Kinda weird to see Ray tracing on them

[untold tiger]

But they're only mid-spec based on RDNA2 leaks. AMD plans on having a legitimate 2080 Ti contender.

[verbal token]

Can't wait to change from Playstation to Xbox since ps5 will be worse I believe

[untold tiger]

Though PS5's data compression and drive speeds are a generation ahead of Series X, which will make for some eye opening optimization

Don't

[verbal token]

Do gpu have thermal paste in them too?

[untold tiger]

Series X only has a marginal computing advantage while PS5 has a generational storage and data compression advantage.

Plus XBOX has no games, and what games they do have are better played on PC. Microsoft is pushing "Play Everywhere". You might see Game Pass on Nintendo Switch soon.

[verbal token]

Yeah ps has way better exclusives

[untold tiger]

The numbers pertaining to the consoles specs are very deceiving, honestly.

[verbal token]

Damn bro how are u so informed on these things

I mean

[untold tiger]

I had been reading about PCI-E gen 4's data streaming capabilities when the first gen 4 M.2 drives dropped, and how in the future they'd basically be able to assist in accelerating graphics performance by compressing and allocating game data (textures/assets, exc) to the GPU faster than anything we've seen to date.

And that's exactly how the PS5 is optimized.

[verbal token]

U know a lot about pcs

[untold tiger]

Series X is basically a compact PC running a lightweight Windows OS

[verbal token]

Yeah

It looks like one too

Kinda weird design

Don't really like it

[untold tiger]

That game switching you see will be normal on PC soon

Right now, as we speak, most applications are only built for SATA III SSDs

[verbal token]

What do u mean by game switching

[untold tiger]

And despite the numbers suggesting otherwise, the difference in performance between sata 3 and M.2 isn't substantial.... Yet

Next-Gen consoles from the ground up are built around the capabilities and speeds of M.2 storage

[verbal token]

Are u even reading my messages bro

[untold tiger]

I am

[verbal token]

Doesn't look like it

[untold tiger]

By game switching I mean you can suspend a game and launch another game while the other idles in the background, all in under a second

[verbal token]

Ah

I remember that

I saw somewhere

[untold tiger]

M.2 storage has always been capable, but PC manufacturers and game developers have to optimize games for the lowest common denominator

[verbal token]

Well I'm waiting for the ssds to be less expensive and bigger storsge

[untold tiger]

Meaning, people with slow HDDs

[verbal token]

That's me

[untold tiger]

That's like 60% of PCs

And all current gen consoles

[verbal token]

Yeah

Well I have 3%only so I see u tomorrow

[untold tiger]

But as AMD normalizes PCI-E gen 4 storage, and M.2 drives in general become the new standard, you'll see more applications behave the way these consoles intend to function.

[verbal token]

Bye

[untold tiger]

Later

[verbal token]

Ty for keeping me update

[gloomy gyro]

I just recently built a new PC with a 144Hz monitor, but I can only pick 143Hz in windows settings and 143,93Hz in BF5. Is something wrong?

[supple bane]

No

[gloomy gyro]

Everything works fine, I just thought it should show 144Hz

[supple bane]

Some monitors arent built 100% and their refresh rate wont match to advertised

Mines supposed to be 144hz but It reads 145

[gloomy gyro]

Oh ok

Mine is IPS, that might have something to do with it

TN should have faster response, but I like the colours

By the way, if I have a M.2 nVME, could I unplug the cables that go to the HDD reading cables on the case?

Now the case LEDs are always flashing for no reason

[opaque saddle]

i think so

main stream ssd is going worse and worse. used to be slc drives, then mlc, then switched to tlc and now qlc is getting cheaper

if the slc cache on QLC drive got fully utilised and it will be as slow as the base speed of a 7200rpm hard drive

[gloomy gyro]

I only have an M.2 drive

No HDD

I was just asking if I could not use the HDD status LED cables 😀

[opaque saddle]

you can unplug it tho

[green sonnet]

Does anyone else get huge stutters while playing? I just installed my new 2070 Super and still get frame drops

I have a Ryzen 5 1500X

[prime jasper]

how much ram?

[green sonnet]

16GB

[prime jasper]

dual channel?

[green sonnet]

Yup

2 x 8 GB DDR4

[prime jasper]

try dx12 if you havent

[supple bane]

its a 4 core cpu,

they tend to stutter on bfv

a 1500x is going to provide a decent bottleneck for a 2070 super in bfv

i have a 2600 and a 2070 and even that bottlenecks

[green sonnet]

Damn

I was thinking that

[prime jasper]

good news is cpu upgrades are cheap

[supple bane]

what motherboard do you have ? @green sonnet

[green sonnet]

Not sure, but it's micro ATX

[gloomy gyro]

Why would the cutscenes be stuttering? Can it be because the game is still downloading?

[supple bane]

they stutter for me too

[gloomy gyro]

What gpu?

I got RTX 2060

[supple bane]

rtx 2070

[slate rivet]

anyone had the issue of your account is in a bad state for office 365

users can use portal.office.com but any local MS office application needs activation. I think it needs to be on the domain but technically is as it's on VPN to the office

[prime jasper]

o365 activation is tied to the users account in question

its only a matter of signing into that account from the application

if the user is out of licenses due to installing it on too many machines, a previous installation will have to be deactivated

[slate rivet]

license is fine, signing in still fails

[prime jasper]

could be an issue with the AD account

password out of sync, account locked up, wrong security group, etc

[opaque saddle]

Was using my uni account linked to office 365. It may ask for password every few months

[untold tiger]

Cutscenes might stutter because they're locked to a framerate

And there's a de-sync between your GPU, monitor, and the game.

That's common on a lot of games

[storm osprey]

damn consoles

[untold tiger]

Well, not even that. They do it for a cinematic effect.

Movies are filmed at 24FPS

Most game cutscenes push better assets, but at 30FPS

[storm osprey]

i hate it

[lost garden]

me too

[storm osprey]

i thought outside of USA tipping is seen as an insult?

[molten coral]

Depends on the country I guess

in NL you don't have to tip but it's always appreciated

If I ever visit the USA is it mandatory to tip? Or can I also just say no? @storm osprey

[storm osprey]

depends on the restaurant

if its a server situation, youre a real prick if you dont tip

[molten coral]

How so? It's not my fault they get paid bad.

[storm osprey]

well thats kind of the thought

you know they get paid bad, the tip is supposed to reflect their services

its a dumb system yea, just give them a good wage not dependent on tips

but thats how it is

[molten coral]

I guess i'm just a dick

[storm osprey]

if its a mom and pop order at counter restaurant where you talk to the person serving you once, maybe twice, its not expected to tip

if its a sit down restaurant where people are vying to provide you good service, 10% is min. 15% standard

[molten coral]

I mean if I would visit 4/5 restaurants in a day and they expect me to tip like 5/10 bucks that is 25/50 a day more.

[storm osprey]

of course if the server is trash you can not tip

why would you go out to eat 4 times a day?!

and dont go to sit down restaurants

but i imagine you would be an obvious foreigner and they will probably understand

though still be salty about serving you

[molten coral]

Good

[storm osprey]

@molten coral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVw-cRLFWOI

reminds me of this

you can skip to 30 seconds

[molten coral]

cant watch that lol

[prime jasper]

If you can afford to eat out 5 times a day, you can afford to buy a vpn

[storm osprey]

1:40 actually

damniiit

[molten coral]

No vpn is a waste of money

[storm osprey]

nacho

watch my stream

[molten coral]

Well lets say it like this: I wouldn't be using it enough

[prime jasper]

Beschikbaar sounds like some backwater system in star wars full of cannibals

[molten coral]

so for me it would be a waste of money

[storm osprey]

i love that movie nacho

[lofty light]

VPN is very useful to legitimately gather movies

[slate rivet]

anyone know a script to find how many devices a user as a o365 license on?

[lofty light]

Oof, just been scripting o365 with PowerShell myself but no soz

[slate rivet]

Thanks 🙂 checking the devices in portal.office.com Apps/Devices isn't giving the option for a user to see what devices it's on lol

[pallid silo]

@lofty light dont most people stream it xd

[past zinc]

we don't have the tech

[supple bane]

Wow. So original

[teal pecan]

Gotta ask you guys. FPS or Resolution. What can you sacrifice and with how much FPS can you play

Tag me with your answers

[pallid silo]

@teal pecan resolution highest as possible but I do prefer high fps I personally play 1440p 144hz but that's only coz my vega64 can handle 120fps locked. But if anything is under 80fps it looks laggy lol

[teal pecan]

Really. Damn

I've been playin on 60FPS and it feels great to me

[storm osprey]

uhhhh.... id probably say i favor resolution

if i HAD to sacrifice something

[teal pecan]

Damn. But on low resolutions isn't it harder to spot shit

[storm osprey]

i worded that weird sorry

but i favor resolution over fps

[teal pecan]

Ahhh. OK

[storm osprey]

i mean, i was on console for yearrrs

and if anything that kind of has to prove that concept right?

[west willow]

1440p 144hz, but I could live with 60-75fps. Rather that than 1080p, because that would look off on my monitor

[storm osprey]

people generally can tolerate 30 fps as long as it doesnt look like shit

[teal pecan]

Yeah exactly

[storm osprey]

personalyl 1080p 60hz is my minimum

but 1080p is a must

[teal pecan]

I mean movies are shown at 25 FPS

[west willow]

if it goes to far below 60 it just feels like shit for me

[storm osprey]

i would not go 900p to get 60 fps

but then that matters if im playing competitive games...

and how much does resolution affect my gameplay

id still say i favor resolution over fps though

[west willow]

also depends on how stable that fps is. Rather stable 30 or 45 than stuttery 60

[teal pecan]

I do understand for competitive gaming you need higher FPS because it limits your reaction time but resolution is important to me because even at 35 FPS the game is amazing to play

[storm osprey]

i hate jaggies though

all this makes sense to why i have a 1440p 144hz gsync monitor xD

[west willow]

Same, but freesync

[astral merlin]

G sync monitor gang

[storm osprey]

hmm but i also play so much comp games i think i want 144hz more

and i would drop to 1080p 144hz before i dropped to 1440p 60hz

[west willow]

G sync wouldn't be of much use to me with an AMD GPU

[storm osprey]

yea thats what sucks, im basically stuck to nvidia

[astral merlin]

There’s only so many monitors with G-sync

[storm osprey]

at least atm amd doesnt compete that well with 1440p 144hz monitors to sway my anyway

[teal pecan]

Gsync hyper race

I got an office monitor with 60FPS and I play all the new games for PC

I don't see the difference between 80 60 FPS

Its all good to me

[storm osprey]

80 60 fps?

[west willow]

Well not on a 60hz monitor no

[storm osprey]

60hz with more fps doesnt look different, but it feels better likely because you have more up to date frames to grab from

think of monitor refresh rate and fps as beats and them lining up is ideal (gsyc/freesync)

if your monitor grabs a frame at any given time, given it more data to grab from will be more accurate/smoother

(although this is also how screen tearing exists)

(this is how vsync works, forces monitor/fps to match, but thats how you get input lag)

[violet plank]

once you go 144hz you can't go back

ever

[teal pecan]

No no, I meant the difference between actual 80 FPS and 60 FPS. Not both on the 60 HZ monitor

I tried both but I decided because of the price that 144HZ don't make sense to me

[violet plank]

the big difference starts at 120hz+,below you won't notice much

[storm osprey]

144hz feels waaaay better than 60hz

[violet plank]

and not only in games

[storm osprey]

its not going to make you go up a rank in a game, but it just feels better

[violet plank]

desktop too

[west willow]

yes, you can feel the difference just by moving your mouse

[agile ledge]

hello I have a problem with battlefield 3 practically I started the campaign again I set the mouse on direct movement NO,
but I have a problem that the soldier keeps turning on himself.
can you help me?

[fallow rock]

but do they have the tech??

[odd mason]

will i still get banned by playing bfv with dxvk on linux?

[molten bramble]

Not sure why you would ask that question here.

[molten bramble]

Yes

Samsung Curved 27" either 144 or 240 Hz can be had for under $300

Beware, the 240Hz only scales to 1080P
