I'd try going into your Nvidia control panel and adjust everything for performance
prime jasper
think its the 2700 if im honest
untold tiger
2700 should murder BFV
untold tiger
I would disable SMT and try pushing the max boost clock across all 8 cores
BFV's optimization is honestly just garbage
untold tiger
Very poor multi-threaded support
untold tiger
They're both non-ideal
prime jasper
true battlefront 2 is fine
untold tiger
What's your RAM frequency?
untold tiger
But is it set to 3200? Most memory comes set to 2133 with tighter timings
untold tiger
Did you manually fuck with timings?
untold tiger
I would just use the XMP profile
prime jasper
else my timings would be 18 at 3200
only have the option for 3600 at 18
and 2700 series dont work past 3466 people have told me
and i tried and kept crashing system
untold tiger
It can, depending on your motherboard
untold tiger
First thing I would do is go into your Nvidia control panel
untold tiger
I'm at work right now, so I can't per se screen shot instructions
untold tiger
Scroll down more in that menu.
prime jasper
yep
prime jasper
maximum performance
untold tiger
Getting better FPS or less stutter out of poorly or weirdly optimized games is a bitch
I mean look at Fallout 4
Nothing, and I mean nothing will prevent your FPS from shitting the bed in downtown Boston
you could have an i9 clocked at 5.2GHz across every core with a 2080 Ti
It's going to drop from 160FPS to 28 no matter what
prime jasper
true other games run spot on just battlefield series meh
untold tiger
They need to start supporting Vulkan API or OpenGL
DX is trash, honestly
Too reliant on single-core performance.
Vulkan will make an FX-8350 outperform an i7 of its day by putting those threads to work.
prime jasper
hopefully soon enough they will start using it
untold tiger
I mean look at what Vulkan is doing on the Switch, lol
It allocates every core and thread and assigns them to a task, and then it uses your excess RAM as VRAM for lighter loads that require more precision, or it uses it as a data cache for texture streaming.
Basically Vulkan optimizes games the way game consoles are optimized - it puts everything to work.
More developers should really start utilizing it. I mean look at what id Software has accomplished with the technology. They're pushing ridiculous amounts of polygons, textures, and effects while maintaining effortless FPS and virtually no latency.
odd mason
and with vulkan, they could bring it to linux
gloomy gyro
This might be dumb, but should I enable v-sync even though I have g-sync?
west willow
No
gloomy gyro
By the way, what is A-XMP? I know XMP is used to make ram run at higher speeds
I have enabled A-XMP and now it runs at 3200mhz instead of 2133mhz, butbI didnt touch any of the timings
west willow
I think it's just a different name for the same thing, but that A-XMP is specifically AMD (motherboard and CPU)
west willow
I think it's called A-XMP in my BIOS as well
gloomy gyro
My mobo is a msi b450m a pro vdh with ryzen 5 3600
west willow
Yeah, have the same CPU and a slightly different mobo
gloomy gyro
And I connected my fans to the PSU, using duct tape
So they are always at full speed
But is there a way to get more fan coonections to the mobo?
Because only 1 fan in my PC is actually controlled
west willow
You mean connecting more fans to the motherboard, than the amount of SYSFAN headers? No idea, there might be some splitters or something.
Any second fan you would connect to it would turn at the same speed as the first
solemn ruin
Is a Gtx 1050 and a i5-7400 good enough to run BFV with good fps?
pallid silo
How comes people always moan about premier pro crashing? :p I've never had mine crash lol
I'm watching premier pro cc vs davichi resolve videos :) as it would be nice to save 16 pound a month (student deal) as I only use premier pro as I use affinity photo for my photos
opaque saddle
its weak for bfv
supple bane
that will seriously struggle @solemn ruin
solemn ruin
thought so
opaque saddle
expect getting 70fps max
solemn ruin
hm
opaque saddle
low settings
solemn ruin
constant warning for low framerate while in-game
supple bane
i had a 1060 and a 7400. and iirc i got 55 fps on lowest settings
opaque saddle
coz i got a 960 (powerful than 1050)
supple bane
the 7400 was the bottleneck when i had it
opaque saddle
bfv with 3600 gets 80% cpu usage
pallid silo
@opaque saddle 960 is like a 1050ti not 1050
opaque saddle
@pallid silo read what i said
opaque saddle
not quite
opaque saddle
on average 7% faster
opaque saddle
bf1 is like 10% faster
well thats card in general
not talking about the fastest 960 vs slowest 1050ti
pallid silo
Makes sense haha
How comes people always moan about premier pro crashing? :p I've never had mine crash lol
I'm watching premier pro cc vs davichi resolve videos :) as it would be nice to save 16 pound a month (student deal) as I only use premier pro as I use affinity photo for my photos p.s I also record in h265
pallid silo
Just need some advise how should I go about making videos? Buy a camera and a laptop to edit them on? Or just film on my phone and edit on phone? (Android)
This is for travel videos in a few years gonna take a gap year and travel the world
sinful mantle
I'm just now looking into that myself. If you went phone you should snag a free or low cost video editing software program and use your laptop ...at least for ease of use...Also there are some great cameras available these days with stereo mics built in for example.
i took off sailing a few years ago ...have fun wolf
supple bane
it really depends on the quality of video you want to make @pallid silo
obviously just a mobile phone is many times smaller than a laptop and camera. but at the cost of quality.
pallid silo
@supple bane found this gonna go for it Canon PowerShot SX740 HS Black
supple bane
You call that smooth ?
supple bane
I'd rather just not play
supple bane
Yeah you do you. But I would have headaches if I played at 20 fps
ashen flax
oh
supple bane
Yeah, I tried to play generation zero but I only got like 25 fps and I felt like I was going to puke 20 minutes in
So 20 fps would certainly be unplayable for me
Gotta have that sweet sweet 100 fps or more
latent light
@ashen flax wtf even a used Xbox One from 2013 runs BFV insanely better than that
ashen flax
@latent light what did u expect from gt 730 lol
latent light
GT 730 is for Minecraft and Terraria
solemn ruin
I'm just going to buy an extra GPU bar, surely the same as the one I have atm
to get 16 GB
supple bane
i assume you meant to say ram. not gpu
and no, that wont help
ram is certainly not your problem lol
supple bane
thats not that good lol
ashen flax
@latent light not everyone have money to buy beter gpu
few just give up and the rest play with "smooth" bellow 60 fps
west willow
I would say 20 fps isn't playble, but you do you
Below 30fps is basically a slideshow, not even a hint of smoothness
kind kiln
Then almost every movie is a slideshow according to You
west willow
Watching a movie and playing a game isn't the same thing. Wouldn't want to play a game at 24fps
kind kiln
Me neither
supple bane
And you would be amazed what difference that 4 fps is
west willow
It's more a feeling, than visually (for example when aiming)
kind kiln
Imo films are a $!& slideshow
I only watch 60fps films
My eyes bleed when I watch anything below 60fps
prime jasper
my eyes bleed anything below 180 fps
supple bane
thats nice
solemn ruin
Which one do I need to change for BFV:
GPU (Gtx 1050)
or
CPU (i5-7400)
supple bane
gpu
supple bane
how much cash you got to spend ?
solemn ruin
idk
supple bane
you can get a gpu and cpu for that
there is no point spending 400 on a gpu with that cpu
solemn ruin
i'm pretty sure a 2080ti wouldn't fit
solemn ruin
is changing my CPU really needed?
supple bane
wait what cpu do you have ?
oh you have an i5 7400 and a 1050
i confused you with someone else lol
yeah well, its fine for most games, just not bfv
i used to have an i5 7400 and it bottlenecked the shit out of my old 1060 on bfv
but yeah you need to change your gpu still. i would recommend and rx 580 for that cpu
solemn ruin
the thing is
from what i see on the ASUS site
is that there are only wacky GPUs compatible with my G11CD
supple bane
no. if it has a pcie x16 slot. it will support all gpu's
solemn ruin
supple bane
100%
i can prove it to you. give me one moment
wait its a prebuilt system
hmm. that might complicate things slightly
the power supply might not have the needed pins and it may not have the needed clearance
solemn ruin
how do i check if my PC has the x16 slot?
supple bane
it does
you sent a screenshot above
besides. if it has a gtx 1050 in, then it has a x16 slot
solemn ruin
hm
supple bane
yeah idk. an rx 580 will most likely work.
but at the same time. there are some things that may mean it cant
mainly the power supply
there is a good chance that it wont have the needed pins for a bigger gpu
since the 1050 doesnt require dedicated power
supple bane
that doesnt help
solemn ruin
e
with the rx 580 the average fps would be around 40
which doesn't really change my situation
supple bane
no it would be higher than that
solemn ruin
50
latent light
@solemn ruin you need more than a 4 core CPU to play BFV smooth
solemn ruin
suggestion?
latent light
@solemn ruin the best CPU you can put in your motherboard is the i7-7700 and that costs $300 which is an absolute rip off for a 4 core that only has Hyperthreading as a feature over the i5-7400
I would suggest looking for a Ryzen 5 1600 or 2600 and a B450 MAX motherboard
solemn ruin
Okay thanks
storm osprey
new 3300x or 3100 (forget the names) match 7700k in performance
robust basin
@solemn ruin you need more than a 4 core CPU to play BFV smooth
@latent light can I assume you mean threads? Most people run smoothly with 4 cores. I have an older i7-4790 w/1080 gtx - getting 90-100 frames and always smooth.
pallid silo
whats your must need apps on android/iphone?
mine are:
whatsapp
firefox
starling
snapchat
twitter
spotify
YT studio
instagram
latent light
@robust basin that's a 4 core with 8 threads tho
i7-7700 has Hyperthreading
Better to just get a 6 core with 12 threads and a new motherboard for cheaper than a 3 year old i7 on a dead platform
Ryzen 5 1600AF goes for $85
B450 Gaming Plus MAX motherboard is $99
$185 for a good CPU and motherboard
vocal crater
Don't forget the Ram
As the 4th Gen still used DDR3 Ram.
16 GB 3200MHz DDR4 Ram would probably cost him like $70
vocal crater
Depends on the Game, as 8GB can be more than just tight
supple bane
no the fps difference between the two in gaming is minimal
west willow
8GB is on the low side, if you pick 8GB now you'll need to upgrade in the near future
vocal crater
Jup
Especially if he would like to do other stuff while Gaming, like Streaming or something similar
west willow
Yeah, just look at the 1 and 0.1% lows. It's clear 12GB is enough for most (except for some heavily modded ones), but 8 is struggling a lot. The only thing is that 12Gb isn't an amount I would buy. 3*4GB
vocal crater
Even if you would buy 8+4 Sticks, it doesn't make sense for the price
west willow
8+4 wouldn't give you dual channel or would it?
vocal crater
It would give you dual channel
west willow
As long as they have the same speed and timings, I guess
vocal crater
From what i see on PCPartpicker it would cost you $60 if you would go with 8+4 Sticks 3000MHz with the same timings
For $10 more you have the 16GB 3200MHz
west willow
Doesn't make sense to go for 12 then
vocal crater
Jup, i mean it would make sense if you already have 1x8 GB and need a cheap & fast upgrade, but buying it from scratch 
supple bane
32gb of ram is just useless tho for the avid gamer
there is only 1 game which i am aware of that will use 32gb of ram. and thats 7 days 2 die
when modded, that puppy will suck 20gb of ram
vocal crater
Just look at Flight Simulator 2020. Their "ideal" Ram amount is 32GB
Recommended is 16, but minimum is 8 & minimum is real 
if you look for the other specs
opaque saddle
nah not only one. a couple of games that can use 32gb of ram
cities skylines is quite ram demanding
it uses 29GB of ram with the mods at high settings, otherwise 21gb at lowest
latent light
New rumor that the AM5 socket will be LGA
vocal crater
Wouldn't trust that too much
The only things we know so far from their internal Roadmap is that they want to use DDR5 Ram, PCIe Gen 4 & USB 4. But that's not for sure, as everything could change
latent light
LGA is more expensive to manufacture but it decreases user error such as people dropping their CPU and damaging pins also prevents ripping the CPU out when taking off cooler
vocal crater
Now you can drop your CPU onto the socket & fuck the pins on there 
latent light
Yeah pins on Intel motherboards are basically impossible to fix since they are hook shaped and very small
vocal crater
It is so much simpler to fix the Pins on the Ryzen CPUs [Can confirm, my Ryzen 5 1600X was shipped with bend pins]
latent light
I wonder how that happens
vocal crater
DHL
Never trust that fuckers
They probably throw your package from the 5th floor into the truck
latent light
How could the pins bend inside the package
The box would have to be crushed by a vehicle lol
Probably an error from staff
west willow
Or it really got crushed, you never know with DHL
latent light
Was the Ryzen box destroyed?
vocal crater
It wasn't even in the form of a box anymore
And don't get me started on the poor stock cooler
It didn't even see any usage that poor thing
latent light
Was it broke into pieces
vocal crater
The better question would be : "What wasn't broken"
And since that moment i have never used DHL again
I mean the Ryzen worked after i fixed it & never made any problems. But still
They probably drove over with the truck after they tossed the package out of the 5th floor onto the concrete and be like : 
Oh we forgot that package
west willow
The 5th floor is pretty generous
vocal crater
Ah sorry, 50th floor
violet plank
i have once seen a proper DHL delivery,guess that was the first and last at the same time 
worst company ever
vocal crater
i have once seen a proper DHL delivery,guess that was the first and last at the same time

storm osprey
@prime jasper only thing i can recommend is to repair files, reinstall, reformat storage and redownload everything
prime jasper
yeah i repaired
storm osprey
ive had some friends have situations where they tried all the fixes and nothing worked, but they cleaned the drive and started fresh and it worked
storm osprey
well bf5 does run worse that those games
molten bramble
Make sure to add your games to the exclusion list for scans as well on W10 @prime jasper. Reference:
prime jasper
why?
can anyone reccomend any good graphical settings
for better performance
other than low
like
a mix of settings
ffr on
vsync off
ok
storm osprey
better performance/visibility is basically low/off everything honestly
viral ibex
does anyone also has the problem that bfv is crashing after you play like 15 min?
reinstalled BFV and origin it did not help
prime jasper
could be a thermal or overclocking issue
latent light
I've noticed I get more frametime consistency and less frame spikes with V-sync on
Turning it off it feels like constant microstuttering
prime jasper
i got a gysnc monitor tho
storm osprey
vsync on anything but single player casuals games 🤮
input lag is one of my biggest pet peeves
prime jasper
thats everyone bro
storm osprey
some people dont know though
untold tiger
I don't find the Vsync input lag to be THAT bad most of the time.
storm osprey
i havent used it in years so i might try it again
untold tiger
I'm still stuck at 60Hz for the time being, so the smoothness I get from it is still beneficial for me.

I know, but that'll change soon.

How do you check whether a graphics card is compatible with your pc tower?
I want to add a 1080ti to my pc which currently has an integrated gpu
It has spare graphics card slots
latent light
@hollow hornet gotta know what CPU and power supply you have as well
hollow hornet
Hmm where do I find my power supply? It's not in advanced settings anywhere I can ser
Is there a page on NVIDIA's site where you can see if your pc is compatible?
latent light
You have to take off the left side panel of the tower
hollow hornet
Thxs
latent light
What PC do you have
hollow hornet
It's an old uni work pc
It has 32gb ram and a good cpu
But a terrible integrated graphics card
storm osprey
integrated like intels igpu?
latent light
Open task manager and click on the performance tab
storm osprey
youre playing bfv off a cpu?
hollow hornet
I mean I have an integrated gpu
latent light
You need a dedicated graphics card
hollow hornet
It's just below minimum specs
hollow hornet
Also, is your Origin messing up for either of you?
storm osprey
im like.. no shit you have bad fps im surprise it even runs xD
hollow hornet
Last few days it's been randomly opening
Lots of other ppl have the same problem too
storm osprey
what is the gpu in it?
hollow hornet
Intel-4400
latent light
That integrated Intel graphics that's built into the CPU itself
It's not designed to play games at all lol
supple bane
What cpu is it?
storm osprey
4400 right?
hollow hornet
I can't remember off the top of my head and im not at my pc now sry
supple bane
I thought that was the gpu.
latent light
It's definitely a Haswell CPU
hollow hornet
It's above minimum specs and the pc has 32gb ram
It's an old work pc so they didn't think a graphics card was highly needed
latent light
32GB ram in a work PC makes me think it has a Xeon CPU in it
supple bane
No. Pairing a 1080ti with a shitty cpu is a waste
It would be bottlenecked like crazy
storm osprey
if hes not on 1080p it would be fine
storm osprey
i play on 1440p with a 4790
hollow hornet
Idc about resolution
storm osprey
average benchmarks at 1440 with my cpu vs modern cpus is barely any different
supple bane
Yeah but as grim said. There is a good chance he is on a xeon
storm osprey
@hollow hornet the lower the resolution the more depending gaming is on your cpu
thats the concern
supple bane
If it is a xeon. I would be willing to bet a 1060 would get similar performance to if it had a 1080ti
storm osprey
i doubt that extreme of a change
latent light
There's a chance that the power supply he has doesn't have PCIE cables for a graphics card
supple bane
Depends if it is pre built or it was built by the company he got it from
hollow hornet
Can you post pictures in here?
supple bane
No
hollow hornet
Hmm :/
hollow hornet
Wacism
latent light
Work PC that runs on integrated graphics but has 32GB ram and a i7/Xeon is likely gonna have a <300w power supply
hollow hornet
What's the step down from a 1080ti?
storm osprey
1080
supple bane
2070
hollow hornet
I thought that was basically the normal card
supple bane
1080 has been replaced by the 2070
storm osprey
1080ti is an old card
supple bane
But officially the step down is the 1080 yes
latent light
Look into a GTX 1650 with GDDR6 and no PCIE cable requirement @hollow hornet
storm osprey
1080TI not worth buying in US market since they sell for about 400 last i saw
and a new 2070 super is the same price but slightly better performance, for 400
latent light
2070 super is 500
supple bane
600 here 
storm osprey
maybe its 500 1080ti usd and 2070 super 500
i just remember them being the price, 2070 being better and new
yea 500 for both, but 2070 super is better and brand new/newer
no reason to get 1080ti unless you get an out of normal deal or already have one
certainly dont buy one new/used for 450+
ffs of course they are EU
supple bane
But again. 100% your power supply isnt strong enough for any of the cards above
hollow hornet
How do you improve your power supply? Get a better cpu?
supple bane
No
storm osprey
you get a better psu
supple bane
Power supply is a component just like the cpu
To get a better power supply unit. You buy a new power supply unit
hollow hornet
How much power do CPUs use then
storm osprey
When asking for a build or build advice, answer the following questions in your post:
- What's your budget/currency and country of purchase? Any preferred physical/online shops?
- Gaming? Streaming? What's your resolution/FPS targets? What games are you playing?
- Not gaming or professional/hobby use cases? What are the applications you will use and workload involved? Kindly elaborate as much as possible.
- What else do you need to buy? (monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, speakers, Windows, WiFi)
- Anything else you want to tell us? RGB, Small Form Factor, already have a part list? Tell us!
- If you have a build list and are looking for a second opinion or are upgrading an existing system, please have a PCPartPicker permalink for it (https://pcpartpicker.com/list)
if you could answer those this would help
storm osprey
i assume you have a 1080p 60hz monitor?
supple bane
That will net you at least 40-50 fps I would hope
hollow hornet
:O that's pretty good
storm osprey
could just upgrade psu and get a gpu with remainder of money
hollow hornet
I mean I have plenty of money I just don't want to spend it all
storm osprey
idk shit about xeon cpus if it is one though
supple bane
Nyphon.. considering he thought to upgrade the psu, you had to change the cpu. You really think he will have the ability to change the psu out? Lol
No offence btw
hollow hornet
Why would the CPU affect the possible power? Is it just an indication of how good the psu is, or do different level CPUs use different amounts of power
supple bane
Not everyone is a nerd
storm osprey
i mean, its a youtube video and 1 hour later kind of scenario
@hollow hornet not only power draw but i personally dont know if server cpus/mbs havent any special scenarios
latent light
@hollow hornet do you know if a graphics card can fit into the tower, is it a slim build?
storm osprey
could do something like this
oh shit scratch that, that psu more exensive in uk than i thought
latent light
Yeah could get a new power supply as well
storm osprey
50 bucks more seems worth it (not including tax, well idk how EU works, dont they include tax?)
latent light
I'll post a very specific 1650 that doesn't require power cable
Some models use one and some don't
The best graphics card that doesn't use a PCIE cable
hollow hornet
Thanks
storm osprey
1650 is what you can do with out adding psu
If you plan on ever continuing gaming on pc I recommend getting a psu and something better than 1650 now
You can get a 570 or 580 for better performance
But needs that psu
If ever you want to do anything pc gaming in the future a psu is a must

Holy moly
Who named this to technology?
But anyone know a GPU that would be good for rendering?
And GFX and CGI and stuff
like that
@supple bane do you know any?
supple bane
errrrr
depends on what you are renderingg
you have a 2070 right ? that would be fine
some programs use your cpu to render too
Fusion 360 is an example of that
supple bane
wait.
wdym?
your a kid. why you buying a new gpu just for rendering lmao?
whats wrong with your 2070?

torn tangle
thanks
errant cairn
There's the tab next to it, I forgot what it was called, you can make your own clan/platoon, choose a tag for it which is just the ToW badges or something (people used to make offensive and deragotory pics for their tags in BF1, BF4 and other titles) and you can also add a description

You can't uninstall integrated graphics cards right
Like the Intel HD graphics 4600
That's just part of the CPU basically isn't it
molten coral
Yes, it's part of the CPU
storm osprey
still havent figured out what to do pumble?
prime jasper
you can disable it in device manager
storm osprey
afaik he only has the igpu, no dedicated gpu, so wouldnt that stop his display?
prime jasper
well yes in that case
hollow hornet
Nvm someone helped but ty
Apparently I need a new psu as well as a graphics card
Cuz mine's only 250W
storm osprey
thats what we told you!

Pretty much the reason why it got changed to technology.

need chair
any recommendations ?
i need more of inspiration rather than recommendations, because im not ordering a chair without sitting in it first
i was thinking of either the corsair t1 or the atom gt
storm osprey
we have a store called stapled, idk what you have
but they have a popular mesh chair called the hyken
supple bane
yeah we have staples too
storm osprey
try staples hyken
supple bane
i checked for that, because i saw you mention it
storm osprey
my fiance has it and i really like it
supple bane
it isnt sold here

Personally, I would rather sit in a chair and make my decision on that
supple bane
i love the styling on both the atom gt and the corsair t1
and i have sat in the corsair t1 and im a big fan
but its super pricy
and the worrying thing with the atom gt is that it is an exlusive to a company called abrocco
and ive never heard of them
and this is their address...
supple bane
yeah thats why i like the corsair t1
because while it has that nice bucket seat style
odd goblet
I might be getting the G633 Artemis

@odd goblet im generally unimpressed with gamer headsets, sound quality is usually meh and mic typically meh or sucks
odd goblet
While the quality is part of the reason, another part of the reason is that it says I can listen to different inputs at once and talk.
However I am going to do more... ya know, learning
teal stirrup

By the way, I like that this has lights on the back of the headset, so you won't see them when wearing them at all lol
odd goblet
What I am trying to really do is be able to listen to music from my Computer or some other device while being able to use my mic and hear game audio through my xbox.
I am just not sure if a splitter will allow me to use my microphone into the computer or the Xbox.

What power PSU would you recommend/what PSU would you need to use with say a GTX 1050Ti?
That needs 300W power
How much would you need for your cpu as well?
storm osprey
im in the camp that if you can afford to get something that would mean you wouldnt have to upgrade later you do it now
yes a 400w psu will cover a lot of low to medium range psus, but in the chance you go higher than that you suddenly have to buy another psu
something like a 600w psu would cover A LOT of single gpu systems
and cost maybe 20-30 more than a similar quality 400w psu
molten coral
im in the camp that if you can afford to get something that would mean you wouldnt have to upgrade later you do it now
I'm in the same camp, it usually saves a lot of money.
storm osprey
i did the "good enough" with my first build, i basically replaced every component in my pc within a year or 2
molten coral
Lol I did the same except for the 970 I had
storm osprey
yea i think i replaced absolutely everything...
molten coral
I was on a 750 euro budget and got kinda the lowest of the lowest quality products you could get
except for the GPU
I still have a picture somewhere
By this time I already replaced the sharktoon case for the corsair air 540
Looks good right? 
storm osprey
is that a micro atx MB in a mid case?
molten coral
This was it @storm osprey
for a whopping 880 euro
I didn't know shit about PC's back then
storm osprey
jesus
molten coral
I was playing BF4 ''smoothly'' 
supple bane
I too got ripped off for my pc
Paid 700 pounds (pound 900 dollars) and got a 4 core 3ghz cpu and a gtx 1060
Didn't even have an ssd
supple bane
I've had my pc for 3 years and I've replaced everything except the power supply
hollow hornet
Eh I suppose it's got an ok cpu and 32gb ram
Just I gotta spend £300 on a PSU and graphics card and hope I don't break anything
supple bane
Spend a few hours watching videos man
There are loads of good guides on youtube
That will run you through everything
molten coral
ree why do all laptops around 1500-2000 look like a ''gamer'' laptop
storm osprey
@hollow hornet for gaming your cpu should be fine in a lot of title honestly
supple bane
Bfv is actually the one game on the planet it will have a hard time with ngl lol
hollow hornet
^ Nacho I don't understand why no gaming laptops just... Look like normal laptops
storm osprey
they gotta say "gamer"
also they are normally bigger for more components/better cooling
molten coral
I really wanna get the new XPS 15 but on the other hand I hate having dongles
molten coral
Kinda looking for a laptop with a LAN port
I need that for my study
I mean I can use dongles but on the other hand at some point that will get annoying
storm osprey
i cant ever imagine seeing myself getting a laptop
hollow hornet
My sister has MacBook 🤢
molten coral
I prefer not getting a laptop at all but I'll need it
hollow hornet
I don't think I can ever imagine getting an apple product
hollow hornet
Actually 1 of my sisters has a MacBook and both of them have iMacs

At least they don't have iphones
Could be worse

2nd? Oh how the mighty have fallen...
storm osprey
first was ipod nano, 2nd is my current iphone 11
hollow hornet
There's an iPhone 11 now?
prime jasper
hi
hollow hornet
Huh I thought they'd at least start a new series after the wierd iPhone X thing
Hai
storm osprey
though the iphone se 2020 is exactly the same internals but an old iphone 8 look for 400 bucks
IE: iphone se 2020 is the best bang for buck phone out
especially for the longevity of ios on phones
my friend has an iphone 5c that he stopped getting updates for a couple of years ago
i think he safely got 5+ years of updates
storm osprey
hardware wise yea im sure they do
just most android brands stop doing updates fairly quick
i know my 200-300 budget moto g line stopped updated fairly fast
storm osprey
likely just security updates
hollow hornet
Ooh
storm osprey
thats the phone i had before my iphone 11
hollow hornet
While I'm in a. Tech channel
What does a corrupted sd card do
I tried repairing it but it wouldn't do anything
storm osprey
wont access files on that sd card
hollow hornet
Im fairly sure it's missing some calls I get?
storm osprey
your sd card affecting calls?
storm osprey
im no phone guru but that makes no sense to me
hollow hornet
I'm blaming that cuz I know it's broken
storm osprey
you have a sim card
molten coral
SD cards doesn't effect your calls
storm osprey
which kind of looks like an sd card
hollow hornet
Yeah I got confused
storm osprey
molten coral
July is gonna be expensive
storm osprey
whys that?
molten coral
New phone, new laptop, books for my study, scooter
hollow hornet
Ooh what scooter
storm osprey
you like note phones huh?
molten coral
Yeah
i'm a big fan
I don't even use the s pen that much but note phones are overall super solid
molten coral
I don't even use my phone that much tbh
storm osprey
80% charge on my base iphone 11 will last me 2-3 days xD
molten coral
I usually last 2 days
hollow hornet
I usually charge my phone at least once a day 😶
But then again I do use it all da time
storm osprey
yea my moto g 5 was on its last battery legs
molten coral
Ooh what scooter
Peugeot Django
Only good thing is I don't really have to spent money on the scooter as i'm selling my car atm
storm osprey
i wish weather here was good for scooters
storm osprey
i live in arizona, too hot 60% of the time
molten coral
eh weather is shit for around 250 days a year here
It's just much cheaper and even faster to go to college this way
If insurance wasn't super expensive I would have kept my car
storm osprey
do you live in one of those countries that makes owning a car STUUUUPID expensive?
molten coral
Yes
molten coral
Currently I pay 95 euro a month for my car insurance and road tax is around 20
storm osprey
95 for 1 car?
molten coral
For a suzuki swift from 2007
storm osprey
wtfff
storm osprey
we have 1 2017 civic ext and 1 2001 civic ex and for both of them our insurance is like 120

Talking of saving money by travelling to another country
Switzerland has a ridiculous exchange rate
When we went there on holiday by the border we saw Swiss people travelling to other countries just for cheap shopping

Im confused @storm osprey
storm osprey
links have been deleted, someone spamming links to a facebook video or some shit
and then i had a typo
molten coral
storm osprey
xD
hopefully these new consoles are good value, ps4/xbox one really werent that great for a while
sinful mantle
with the newer gamepads (not controllers) having native mouse support consoles might just be viable
its liie $400 verses $2,000 investement
sinful mantle
well yeah I paid $750 for this one
sinful mantle
but i have paid well over $2,000 in the past
but like if you can shell out $400 for a console w/ a $50 gamepad that has built in mouse support...that might be viable
supple bane
yeah, it would certainly appeal to a broader audience
but it then brings in one massive problem/question based around balance
how do you keep it a fair playing field with mouse players playing againts console players
molten coral
800 prime time for a gaming pc
Yeah but this is without, screen, mouse and keyboard.
supple bane
true, actually
molten coral
That is another 2/300
sinful mantle
what i was saying the console with gamepad(not controler) but gamepad would have a mouse
so youd have a console with mouse/keyboard as the game pad is essentially a keyboard with less keys
so maybe $450 dollar investment total
storm osprey
console need tv/monitor too
storm osprey
im just saying, its not an added cost for pc in the same sense that you need a tv for console
sinful mantle
another thing the newer gamepads will work with PC as well
sinful mantle
you gonna use a controler?
molten coral
Just wanna play the last of us 2
storm osprey
^
supple bane
i have a ps4 just sitting in my sitting room collecting dust, my only controller broke sooo
sinful mantle
id get a ps4 just to run grand turismo
supple bane
mine hasnt turned on in years bruv
sinful mantle
snag a $50 game pad granty
molten coral
I've a xbox controller for my PC but I just can't get used to it
molten coral
the PS4 controller is just perfect
sinful mantle
Last controler i had was for ps1
supple bane
in 3 years ive turned it on twice, once on accident and once to see how bad my aim had gotten since i had moved to pc
molten coral
My aim with a controller is super bad nowadays
supple bane
i used to be pretty good. but once i had moved to mouse, it went downhill, very quick
molten coral
Meanwhile I used to play competitive on PS4 against the best people
supple bane
i tried to play cod zombies and i actually couldnt hit them
molten coral
Now I can't even hit a camping turd on some hill while i'm close to him
supple bane
i do have this magical little thing called an xim4 tho
and i want a controller just so i can have a go with that again lmao
it allows you to use a mouse on any console game
tricks the console into thinking its a controller
astral merlin
supple bane
i want to try bf1 with it, and see how much i can kick ass againts console scrubs now lmao
sinful mantle
@supple bane thats what i was on about
there are several of those on the market theses days
they are called game pads
supple bane
yeah ive had this thing for years now
its the real deal. you control it with your phone and the amount of customisation you have on their is mind blowing
sinful mantle
so with one of those the new consoles will be a viable alternative to having to invest in a new PC just to play bf6
i do believe we are all gonna need new machines for bf6
sinful mantle
i might just agree with you in that this machine is optimized for bf4 but i can render bfv but not on ultra
supple bane
You have a 960 right ?
sinful mantle
but sooner or later you get hit with the mandatory upgrade stick...like when we went from single core processors to multi core.
molten coral
It isn't that strange that a 5 year old videocard can't play games on ultra anymore.
sinful mantle
dunno technology rolls on
sinful mantle
that would probably when the new consoles and bf6 comes out....am I right?
sinful mantle
ahh
supple bane
New consoles are coming out later this year and bf6 is 2021
sinful mantle
so im thinking bf6 might be somewhat backwards compatible but anything after that will need a major tech upgrade?
i was reading on EA site that they are gonna release bf6 when the consoles are released
supple bane
I'd say a current gen, 20 series card would be good for bf7
Maybe bf8
Like a 70 series card can still get by on bfv
molten coral
I hope I don't have to upgrade anything for atleast another 3/4 years.
sinful mantle
well maybe cause my GTX 960 is still viable for 97 out of 100 AA games according to game debate stats
im gonna have to probably when bf6 comes out
i should also add the my AMD 8350 is as well still viable
molten coral
I had a 1070 and I struggled with BFV mainly because of my screen tbh.
sinful mantle
hell you could still use a AMD Phenom cpu if you had to
So i have 3 PCs sitting on my desk...a AMD ATHLON64....a Phenom x4...and this AMDfx 8350
all purchased for bf games...bf2,bf3 and bf4
so i will either get my first console since ps1 or a new machine for bf6
the console will have game pad w/mouse support
thats if i dont have the funds for a new PC
terse hound
storm osprey
technically ultra settings would help make performance more gpu bound so that would help
but it being a 2c/2t cpu alone is a big yikes
we would need a miracle if a 4c8t wasnt a minimum again like bfv is
prime jasper
anyone else have terrible fps ona 2700
bf1 and bfv low settings driving me insane lol
prime jasper
2070 super thermaltake 3600mhz down to 3466 cl16
1080p
165hz
msi monitor
16gb ram 2x 8gb
supple bane
And what fps are you getting ?
prime jasper
barely stable 100
on bf1 low
medium its about 80
everything stable in oc wise as ran multiple tests my 3dmark scores at 10176
ram no issues or anything
supple bane
Try the other dx
supple bane
If you are using dx 11 use dx 12 and Vice versa
supple bane
Yeah dx 11 is gonna be better then
You said you got 10k in 3d mark
What test was that?
storm osprey
i get like 100 fps on 1440p low xD
fossil igloo
Does direct x11 work with ray tracing?
strange lichen
@fossil igloo no
fossil igloo
damn it
ray tracing made my game look bad and I think its cuz of driect x12
fps was stable
prime jasper
think if i can push my cpu to 4.2
it will help fps wise
because theres only a 6% bottleneck according to online with same cpu n gpu
these are my current timings https://gyazo.com/d659b749fb5cfc5051ab5dbce47bfd25
as 2700 cant go over 3400mhz else i blue screens
sweet aspen
dx 12 better than dx 11 in bf5?
and does it sacrifice performance
sweet aspen
when i turn it on, the main menu stutters a whole lot
prime jasper
yeah it does for osme people when i had a 5700xt it was better
then dx11
what gpu you got
latent light
I get around 80 fps average on ultra settings in 1080p with an RX 580 and R5 1600

@lofty light you got a macbook pro 13" TB with 4 thunderbolt 3 slots right?
lofty light
@opaque saddle ye why?
opaque saddle
using the right side ports to charge your macbook to decrease temp
opaque saddle
i mean using the left side to charge the computer uses more power to kernel_task
so it gets relatively warm
quaint topaz
To order or not to order
molten coral
but why
opaque saddle
get rpi4 with 4gb of ram
if you want performance
but i wouldn't want the pi3a. i'd get either a 4 or 0

I have a theory. It seems that dice is giving a lot of time between now and the release of battlefield 6 ( late 2021). I have a gut feeling that we will see Frostbite 4, and return to greatness that we haven't seen since battlefield 4. The timeline seems to suggest that they are working on something big...
thoughts?
maiden barn
ill be honest sorta stopped playing around bf1, I did not like the direction they where heading, then bf5 just confirmed it.
quaint topaz
BF1 has it's ups and downs. It definitely is one of my favorite games in the franchise.
Then again, I love Hardline so my opinion obviously differs from the rest 
maiden barn
a bit different but I respect that. 4 was my favorite
