i dont have magical super long hands lol

latent light
#

ram usage shouldn't be that high when idle

#

could be windows issue, malware, kernel problem

opaque saddle
#

unless windows is corrupted or malware running

#

yeah

wanton carbon
#

hang on

opaque saddle
#

ask him whether he was visiting some dodgy sites coz it slows down the pc a lot

wanton carbon
#

so I might have a virus

supple bane
#

maybe

wanton carbon
#

Omfg

supple bane
#

but reinstalling windows will fix that dw

opaque saddle
#

use windows defender

wanton carbon
#

I don’t go on any dodgey webs

supple bane
#

i did a quick scan and it showed 0 threats derek

opaque saddle
#

coz sometimes the ads shows up and if you clicked on it. its over

#

do a full one

wanton carbon
#

Every month my windows scans my pc for viruses and about 4 days ago it said no threats detected

opaque saddle
#

coz quick scan is scanning C drive and starts up only

#

can you disable the page files plz

wanton carbon
#

my discord is lagging like mad ? Is this normal

opaque saddle
#

nah

supple bane
#

your pc is completly locked up on my end

#

oh wait its back

opaque saddle
supple bane
#

i have bfv installed and holy balls

#

its like im using a toaster as a pc

wanton carbon
#

I’m gonna have to send it back to scan aren’t it ?

#

I *

molten coral
#

How long do you have it?

wanton carbon
#

Like 5 months

#

I’m pretty sure

supple bane
#

ok

#

this pc is fucked

#

id say send it back to scan before anything

#

because they might not accept rma if you have reinstalled windows

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

WTF do I say to my parents

supple bane
#

in all my years as a nerd, i have never seen something so fucking weird

opaque saddle
#

i wouldnt know what really went wrong either

#

tbh

#

i bought all the premium parts and never have any hardware issues since then

supple bane
#

the high ram usage and the underperforming gpu are both contributing to it

wanton carbon
#

How long would it take for scan to respond

supple bane
#

hmmmmmm, light bulb moment

#

could it be something to do with the igpu?

fallen harbor
#

wait whats his problem exactly i got lost

wanton carbon
#

idek

supple bane
#

idrk what, but maybe its using the igpu or something, idk

opaque saddle
#

unless he plugged the cable into the mb

#

not gpu

supple bane
#

@wanton carbon send me a picture of the back of your computer

wanton carbon
#

ok

fallen harbor
#

can somebody summarize what he said hes having problem with?

#

nvm i just found it

supple bane
#

the gpu is underperforming like crazy

#

and really high ram usage

#

he is going into page file

opaque saddle
#

disable or enable?

#

so which slot is he using tho

supple bane
#

from the picture he just sent i can tell you its top slot and both monitors are running on the gpu

opaque saddle
#

nvidia settings

#

see if he has enabled the auto switch?

supple bane
#

i have left the team viewer now. A.) i need to go and b.) that pc needs to be sent back

opaque saddle
#

all good

fallen harbor
#

can i ask smthn

#

im concerned about somethin

wanton carbon
#

what

#

ok my parents aren’t mad at me and I can send it back sweet

#

what’s an invoice number ?

fallen harbor
#

i was modding the visuals of demon's souls on RPCS3 yesterday and one graphical option gave me a green screen right after enabling it

#

had to hard restart my pc cause it got stuck there

#

i kept modding and playing different games after that during the day and nothing bad happened

#

but today i was playing remnant with a friend and the screen suddenly went all green again for 2 seconds and then it came back to normal

#

id normally think it had nothing to do with the emulator but these are literally the only two times i ever had a green screen on this pc so i am 99% sure it is related

#

is it possible that i gave cancer to my gpu and it's already dying?

#

it's an rx590, i got it brand new 1 year ago
i am almost sure the filter that gave me the green screen yesterday was GP65CJ042DOF FX, if that tells anything

opaque saddle
#

@wanton carbon where is your receipt?

#

idk man ando

wanton carbon
#

i am trying to send a message to scan

#

this is what i said

fallen harbor
#

what’s an invoice number ?
@wanton carbon when you buy something you get a receipt/invoice where the store people oficially register your purchase so if you have it you have evidence that you got it form them so you can get help from them

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

would that be in the email from them ?

fallen harbor
#

idk that depends on how the whole thing was managed

wanton carbon
#

i bought a scan gamer pc from you about 4-5 months ago now , and it was great , its amazing , but today i couldnt play anything , i tried playing Battlefield v and it was freezing and everything , i went on a few discords to get advice , i had a friend try and run some things to see if he could fix it and he couldnt , the ram is being used by something i dont know of , and the gpu just wont fully work i dont even know how to explain it , my friend said to me this is nothing he has seen before and he said to just contact scan and try to send it back to see if they can fix it -thats what i said

supple bane
#

The invoice number will be in an email you got from scan

fallen harbor
#

tbh unless they are very nice people, they will try to wash their hands

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

please dont joke about this , its pissed me off

#

big time

fallen harbor
#

i am not joking

wanton carbon
#

ok

supple bane
#

They will take it back dw

#

They will test it tho to make sure you eint BS'ing them

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

what about the cpu cooler i added

fallen harbor
#

tbh unless they are very nice people, they will try to wash their hands
Or unless you got the invoice number and you are inside the guarantee period of course. Best case scenario is both of those things are a yes

supple bane
#

They took my gpu back even tho it was user error as to why it wasnt working

#

It will be fine

wanton carbon
#

ok

fallen harbor
#

dont you lose the guarantee after opening a prebuilt computer though

wanton carbon
#

i have only added a cpu cooler and another hhd

fallen harbor
#

maybe it's only in my country but here any prebuilt pc you buy has a sticker on the case that you need to remove or break in order to open it and that's the guarantee proof

#

so if i installed a cooler or literally anything id lose the guarantee

wanton carbon
#

oh for fuck sake

#

my mum said she probs dont have the email

#

OMFG

#

im screwed

fallen harbor
#

does she delete emails?

wanton carbon
#

no she got a new phone

fallen harbor
#

but the account is the same?

#

if it's the same she should have it

wanton carbon
#

YESSS

fallen harbor
#

do you have this problem with other games too? or just bfv?

#

sorry if they asked you this before but i just checked all ur messages today fast but couldnt read the entire conversations

supple bane
#

@wanton carbon any luck getting it returned ?

fallen harbor
#

the 1050ti wouldnt be far off the performance you are getting atm lmao
the 1050ti runs bfv way better than his 1660s is doing though

#

he can also check if he has single or dual channel by typing wmic memorychip get speed in command prompt

supple bane
#

Its dual channel

#

Look man, we tried everything

fallen harbor
#

however 8gb single channel and a corsair 450w psu runs bfv at a playable level, not the slideshow he showed

supple bane
#

The next steps are either returning it or reinstalling windows

fallen harbor
#

i am 99% sure it's a windows problem, if the guarantee allows him to send back the pc for the sellers to work on it, that's the first thing i'd suggest

#

if that's not possible then id do a clean windows reinstall

supple bane
#

Agreed

fallen harbor
#

although it's weird that this started happening after 5 months all of the sudden

supple bane
#

If he cant get it returned I will show him how to reinstall windows

fallen harbor
#

id imagine these things happen right after windows installation

#

also he said discord didn't work so he had to download a beta or some shit?

#

it's too many weird things happening in one pc

#

something definitely fucked up from the moment he got it until now

#

did he specify if other games run better?

#

or is it only bfv?

#

many people dare to touch deep core windows stuff in order to improve the gaming performance of their pc even when they have literally no idea what they are doing and the improvement is almost imperceptible at the cost of having an infinite amount of problems that are eventually hard to diagnose

#

idk this dude so idk if he's that kind of person or not

#

but i've seen problems similar to this and i also had no idea what it was until the person said they followed some yt tutorials some days ago that fucked up their entire OS

#

some people do this even on good pc's that need literally none of those things at all but they do it anyway out of blind ambition

wanton carbon
#

I think I have found the invoice number

#

I’m not sure

#

I have managed to do it

fallen harbor
#

good

wanton carbon
#

I hope they solve the problem

#

What about steam and discord tho , will I need to remove it

fallen harbor
#

if you have the guarantee of the product they will solve the problem

#

either by fixing what is wrong or detecting what hardware is broken and replace it for another

supple bane
#

and if they cant they will send you a new pc

fallen harbor
#

ye

wanton carbon
#

yeah , will they fit the cpu cooler for me if I do have to get a new one

#

I added a h60 water cooler in replace for the stock one

fallen harbor
#

did you mount it yourself?

wanton carbon
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

then id suggest to dismount it

#

and put the stock cooler

wanton carbon
#

ughhh

fallen harbor
#

if for some reason you can't or dont want to, let them know you put a custom water cooler ofc

wanton carbon
#

yeah I will , I need to wait at least 2 days for a response

#

If they say it’s a ram problem I’m gonna have to get 16 gb

fallen harbor
#

it's not a ram problem

#

ive played bfv on 8gb ddr3 ram

#

of 1666mhz

#

way worse than what you have

#

and i got 60 stable fps

#

on an also worse hardware overall

#

all of your pc is good enough hardware wise, thats why i assume it's a windows problem (or maybe the psu had some bad quality capacitors and they got fried up, thatd be just bad luck and they can change it for a new one)

wanton carbon
#

Yeah

#

I'm too drunk to give any more adivce

wanton carbon

Lol

#

I have decided to buy a new mouse

#

as my corsair dark core rgb keeps acting up

sinful mantle
#

@wanton carbon you still here?

#

I have a possible solution to your problem

#

and it ain't gonna cost you a penny and no returns either

wanton carbon
#

Ok

#

what is it ? @sinful mantle

sinful mantle
#

i suggest you pull your ram set it aside for a few minutes to discharge the static electricity then reseat the ram...im thinking you had a critical error in one or more of the bits

#

believe it or not this works 70% of the time for random foul ups.

#

also its worth a try if your skeptical...but be sure to turn your PC off and ground yourself temporarily.

supple bane
#

its not a ram issue i dont thinkn

#

its a gpu issue

#

well its both really

#

it was high ram usage at idle and his 1660 super was performing the same as a 1060 3gb

sinful mantle
#

its worth a try 3 people here on discord found that to be a solution....one error is alll it takes

fallen harbor
#

it was high ram usage at idle and his 1660 super was performing the same as a 1060 3gb
if it was performing the same as a 1060 3gb the game should be perfectly playable

#

isnt it just dumb?

opaque saddle
#

High ram usage can be part of the windows issues

#

I remember my old windows system wasn’t able to clear up the RAM cache with the OS. It gets worse if I didn’t restart my PC by the end of the day

digital hill
#

I have bought the g502 hero

Nice, I'm proud of you.

#

my corsair dark core rgb mouse has some micro usb problems in which warranty takes too long

#

the usb port on the mouse not the cable which works fine

#

it was like 60 bucks due to tax and plus I want it as soon as possible which will come on 14-16

uncut tangle
#

Hello! I've got a question, i should be running the game in consistent 60 fps in low graphics, but ingame i have 40-30 fps? Why is it so laggy? I'm using a GTX 1660 Super, I5 6400, 8 GB ram and the game its in a SSD...

spice scaffold
#

Try upgrading your ram & closing programs such as discord

uncut tangle
#

Roger that!

supple bane
#

@uncut tangle its the cpu, i used to use the i5 7400 (generation newer than urs) and a gtx 1060 (much weaker card) and it was a fat bottleneck

#

!!specs

silent oasisBOT
supple bane
#

as seen, you dont even reach minimum spec on the cpu, you need to upgrade that to get a good experience

fallen harbor
#

sad

#

is there any way to more or less know the specs of a cpu by only knowing its model numbers? or is that just random merchandize choices?

supple bane
#

not really

#

they change

#

ie the 6400 and 7400 were both 4c4t, but the 8400 is 6c6t

fallen harbor
#

the only difference between 6400 and 7400 is clock speed?

supple bane
#

probably different cache and power draw

#

not the only difference

fallen harbor
#

ic

#

the lack of importation due to the virus killed everything here tech related

#

regular pc cases literally the shitty most normie ones are 130usd

#

my cousin needed a pc and i had to grab a shitty old case from my company’s mountain of obsolete pcs

uncut tangle
#

Oh, then I have to upgrade my ram and cpu rn, I’ve had those for years, guess it’s time already

supple bane
#

ram is probably fine for a little while longer

fallen harbor
#

yeah its mostly just the cpu

#

two modules of 8gb does wonders in bfv but you can still reach 60fps with one of 8 or two of 4

#

(better if two of 4)

uncut tangle
#

Ok cool

supple bane
#

@uncut tangle get a ryzen 5 3600 and a gigabyte b450 aorus elite and you will be golden

uncut tangle
#

Huuuh, ive never used ryzen is it really that good?

supple bane
#

i honestly cant reccomend intel to anybody atm

#

everything is just too expensive

#

these are the most purchased cpus in 2019

fallen harbor
#

Huuuh, ive never used ryzen is it really that good?
@uncut tangle i understand but ryzen has really became more reliable than intel in the past few years. I was recommended ryzen 5 3600 too but i got i5 8400 because i am used to not trust amd as much as intel but in the end i did a worse investment

#

also a cheap mobo for the ryzen 5 3600 can support significantly more powerful ram modules than the conventional mobos you need for intel

supple bane
#

not to mention the upgrade path, lower power draw and generally higher core count than intel.

#

with a b450 board you can use amds cheapest ryzen 5 1600, and amd's most expensive ryzen 9 3950x

fallen harbor
#

in the end of the day is something somewhat better for the same price or even cheaper

#

what i dont recommend tbh are amd gpus

uncut tangle
#

Well I can afford to do an investment like that

#

I’ll take a look at those components, thank you!

fallen harbor
#

how do i configure teamviewer to make the remote pc respond to my kb shortcuts instead of my own pc?

violet plank
latent light
#

owo

supple bane
fallen harbor
#

can an old case power pins fuck up a modern mobo?

#

i need to build two pcs inside old spare cases

sinful mantle
#

@uncut tangle you say your on low graphics? Try raising graphics on specific setting to take the load off CPU and put some of the load on your graphics card.

supple bane
#

yeah i bet you will get more fps on ultra than low

uncut tangle
#

Now i have it on high and it goes from 60 to 40, if i don't have anything else open

supple bane
#

hmm

#

you are playing on 1080p right?

uncut tangle
#

y

supple bane
#

because it will help understand if the fps you are getting is normal

#

Time

fallen harbor
#

guise im building a pc at work and even though the mobo has 8 pins for cpu power from the psu, the psu only has 4 pins. Is it okay if the cpu is just a pentium g5420?

#

or if the mobo has 8 then it must be unconditionally 8?

supple bane
#

it should be fine

fallen harbor
#

amazing ty

sinful mantle
#

ice

wanton carbon
#

i might not touch anything till scan replies

sinful mantle
#

do you have the expertice to remove your ram?

supple bane
#

if you look at some of the symptoms zen, like i said this is way deeper than a ram resit can fix

#

im certain of that

wanton carbon
#

yeah , removing ram is easy lmao

sinful mantle
#

okay then try that

#

granty i have a guy ionline right now that could testify that that saves his PC

#

want me to get him to tell you that it helped him?

#

also i helped mikey as well

#

you know miceal from norway?

wanton carbon
#

thats what my game looked like lmao

supple bane
sinful mantle
#

okay Ice turn off your machine...unplug it.....place your left hand on the power supply while depressing the on button to discharge all electrical current ...then pull your ram.....place it on a towel....then wait about 10-15 minutes and reseat it....its that easy

supple bane
#

you do realise ram is volatile right?

#

meaning that when power is lost, all data is lost too

#

so any error that was contained on the ram would be reset after just a restart

sinful mantle
#

yes i do but the static is still there

supple bane
#

thats why i dont think pulling it out and putting it back in will change anything

sinful mantle
#

but whats the problem with trying?

supple bane
#

that will only fix a bad connetion between the ram and the motherboard, and considering he has had the system for 5 months, i dont think its that

#

because it might void the warrenty that he is trying to claim

wanton carbon
#

i swear if i cant get it fixed im gonna be pissed

supple bane
#

like i said, if scan doesnt accept the return then i will show you how to reinstall windows which will probably fix it. and if that doesnt fix it you can drop it round mine and i can find out what hardware is causing the issues

wanton carbon
#

yeah

sinful mantle
#

okay an alternative to reseating the ram would be to leave your PC off for 3 days to discharge the static electricity

wanton carbon
#

nah im not leaving my computer off for 3 days lmao

#

i would be so bored

sinful mantle
#

okay hers my friend conner

#

tell these guys how reseating your ram brought your machine back

tacit lotus
#

Hey bro trust me just take out all your ram in your pc leave it out for 5 mins put it back in and turn your pc on and you will be good thats how i fixed my pc's ram @sinful mantle helped me by doing that just take it out for 5 mins and put back in and then your good

sinful mantle
#

also i helped mikey from norway with the same issue

wanton carbon
#

but its not just a ram issue

tacit lotus
#

ok whats the other probs

sinful mantle
#

whatevva man

wanton carbon
#

the graphics card has just gone wank

tacit lotus
#

what graphics card is it

wanton carbon
#

1660 super

tacit lotus
#

lol i dont buy it cause its shit

wanton carbon
#

well no its not

tacit lotus
#

i have a 1080 amp edition and i have had it for 4 years and it works fine for me

wanton carbon
#

soo , lmao not all products last

molten coral
#

How does that have anything to do with his problem though?

wanton carbon
#

ikr

tacit lotus
#

not my problem that he doesnt listen to what we are trying to tell him so im not going to bother

wanton carbon
#

dude

sinful mantle
#

well it has helped me several time through the years it helped Vex about a year ago as well as mikey from norway

wanton carbon
#

not every pc in the world will last 5 years

sinful mantle
#

if you dont even want to try it then im sorry for you

tacit lotus
#

mine is £3,500 and im good i have had it for 6 years

wanton carbon
#

OK....

hey i dont want anything to do with this lol

wanton carbon

fair enough

fallen harbor

tbf you took all of that too seriously ice

#

almost as if you got stress from it

#

just ignore dumb ppl

#

tbh

mossy shore
#

I want to buy BF5 but i have some Internet Issues.Can somebody tell me how big the Bf5 download on PC is at the time

wanton carbon
#

yeah , but i was getting help from someone already and then he just comes and moans at me as if i caused my computer to be dumb and dont even help

violet plank
#

iirc it's around 70GB

mossy shore
#

ok thank you

prime jasper
#

Dude

#

1660 is fine

#

If anything is a good budget card imo

molten bramble
#

1660Ti is legit if you don't need RTX. Totally worth the dime.

prime jasper
#

True

#

And when the nvidia Ai scaling is done

molten bramble
#

I have two of them in this machine. Haven't looked back.

prime jasper
#

It’s even better

#

Imagine nvidia dlss comes out for everything

molten bramble
#

I'm going to pick up a 30-series and then let these run the peripheral monitors.

prime jasper
#

Jesus

#

30?

#

Aren’t those gonna be pretty expensive?

molten bramble
#

It's still up in the air.

prime jasper
#

Like the 3080 is supp to be 1700 ish?

wanton carbon
#

yeah i like the 1660 super

#

some guy said it was bad

#

he rlly annoyed me

prime jasper
#

I’m going to say this is my personal opinion

#

I’m not ragging it like that other guy

#

That for the extra cost of the 2060, it’s a suitable replacement

molten bramble
#

I mean, from a production standpoint, GPU power helps in rendering so it's worth the cost to me.

wanton carbon
#

ik its probs bad compared to better cards but it isnt a shite card overall

prime jasper
#

I think it’s just a tiny bit better for a bit more money.

#

I mean, it’s not really “shite”

#

It’s imo a pretty nice card

#

Good bang for the buck

molten bramble
#

I can't speak to the Super, just the Ti variant and they have done me pretty well.

wanton carbon
#

im not on a budget , but its my first gaming pc , thats why i have a 1660 super

prime jasper
#

Mm

#

And then there’s the 2080Ti

#

everybody wants a 2080Ti

wanton carbon
#

my pc is messed up rn , i cant even run terraria lmao

prime jasper
#

What, how?

wanton carbon
#

idek whats happened to it lmao

#

its just broke

prime jasper
#

Maybe you need to update the bios.

molten bramble
#

I mean, if 2080Ti prices drop drastically, I'll just pick up two of those when the 30-series hits, but otherwise I'll pick up a 30-series once I pay down some other gear.

prime jasper
#

I’m gonna suggest the 30 series

#

1, it’s supposed to be much better

wanton carbon
#

i contacted scan but i need to wait fir them to reply

prime jasper
#

2, I don’t see the 2080 coming down in price in a short time frame from when the 30 series comes out.

#

God, this is my home now.

#

I don’t even play BF

wanton carbon
#

lol

prime jasper
wanton carbon
#

i like this tech chat

#

i dont have to dm this one guy for help if im stuck anymore lmao

molten bramble
#

Right now, I am more concentrating on picking up a good set of studio monitors and some isolators for the new condo studio.

prime jasper
#

Studio monitors?

#

-?

molten bramble
#

Yes, they're powered, precision monitors.

#

Speakers, I thought you were talking about, you know.

molten bramble
#

Speakers go in monitors.

prime jasper
#

Fweh?!

#

What?

molten bramble
#

Yeah, that's why it's termed a "speaker cabinet".

prime jasper
#

I don’t know much abt audio

molten bramble
#

The speaker is the cone, frame, and driver that emits the sound. The monitor/monitor cabinet is what the speaker is housed in.

prime jasper
#

Ohhhhh

#

I feel I should know this

molten bramble
#

The words can be interchanged in some places.

prime jasper
#

I built a speaker (like soldering the board and everything)

molten bramble
#

Oh cool

prime jasper
#

Sound quality is dogshit

#

It was a cheap speaker

#

I don’t use it

#

Just for kicks

molten bramble
#

Understanding EP is always a good skillset.

prime jasper
#

I burnt my hand on that speaker

#

Not like the 900° soldering iron but still hot metal which was cooling for a bit

#

But yea, good studio monitors are helpful.

Good evening.

Hii

prime jasper
#

How can i run BFV on a GTX 550ti ?

#

I downloaded 391.50ish driver

#

550?

#

Im on intel i5 7th gen

#

16gb 2666mhz ram

#

Yeah 550ti

#

Hm

molten coral
#

You won't be able to play with that as you are far below the mininum spec for a GPU.

prime jasper
#

:(

#

Yea that’s what I’m thinking

molten coral
#

Yeah, I'm not going to sugarcoat it..

prime jasper
#

Im really confused

bro that was in campaign

you would probably get 20 fps in multiplayer

720p low 20fps does not count as "run" in my books lol

prime jasper

Lol I'd dump that computer and get a console

#

Way out of spec

prime jasper
#

Ye

#

My PC sucks too

#

I wanna kill it

latent light
#

7th gen i5 is gonna stutter a lot in BFV

prime jasper
#

I quit battlefield abt 7 hours ago

#

Cuz my bf3 was lagging

latent light
#

And GTX 550Ti will be running at 720p lowest settings like 20 fps

prime jasper
#

And ur saying ur bfv is lagging

#

I can't even play bf3 :(

latent light
#

You can't play any Battlefield game on Intel integrated graphics

prime jasper
#

No

It's lag

and try and get rid of it

I don't know much about pc's but do have the storage because games are getting big now a days

@wanton carbon you wont find it, if scan doesnt get back to you by tommorow i will show you how to reinstall windows

molten coral

#

Thanks Nacho, i appreciate the help

wanton carbon
#

i hope they do reply

prime jasper
#

Maybe you gotta update the bios

#

Or possibly use an optimization tool.

#

I just use razer cortex, it helps a little bit.

#

I don't have many files though.

wanton carbon
#

loads of people have said about bios settings

prime jasper
#

I mean, the bios is kinda important

#

Maybe try an optimization tool FIRST before doing anything to the bios.

#

I'd say go the extra mile and get a good quality one

wanton carbon
#

i might just wait for scan to reply , see what they say and then go from there

fallen harbor
#

whats the most convenient cpu for 2070s and 144hz gaming?

#

is ryzen 5 3600 enough or should one go beyond?

wanton carbon
#

ryzen 3600 will be enough im pretty sure

opaque saddle
#

for cpu demanding titles the 3700x will be better, not so much of a gain for older titles

#

the most expensive CPU i will go for is 3700x since it wont make much of differences with anything more than 8 cores

fallen harbor
#

and whats the best mobo for 3700x for a pc that wont do OC nor sli/crossfire?

#

just the minimum required i guess

opaque saddle
#

i dont think there is "the best mobo" tbh

#

coz you can say the best out of the best quality Mobo or a bargain with "$X" price tag

fallen harbor
#

best for the price i mean

#

in this case the cheapest i guess

#

one that is compatible with ryzen 7 3700x and 3200mhz ram and pretty much nothing else

#

no OC support nor sli support, those are unneeded

#

only a 2070super

lofty light
#

Obviously just find it at your store

molten coral
#

any PSU recommendations?

supple bane
#

Try claiming warranty on the old one bro

It's worth a shot, it's not like a lighting strike is your fault

I have an 850W modular and it's been solid.

@wanton carbon

  1. Windows key + R > Type control panel > Enter > Category view (upper right corner) > Uninstall a Program (lower left corner) > Uninstall Everything NVIDIA related.

  2. Download GTX 1660 drivers from here and install it (if that's the gpu you have, i cant remember exactly) https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/162105/en-us

  3. Try your games again and if the problem persists, respond to their email saying that you just did it but the problem persists.
    The previous questions they asked you about it starting happening all of the sudden and if there was a windows update and stuff only you can answer.

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

ty ando

#

hang on , do i uninstall every single thing that says nvidia

#

as my left moniter has now gone off

molten coral
#

install the drivers now

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

i rlly hope this works , but i doubt it

#

fingers crossed pls guys

#

🤞

fallen harbor
#

tbh i also doubt it will fix it

#

id suggest not to raise your hopes a lot if you dont want to get disappointed

wanton carbon
#

ik

#

im just reinstalling them now

fallen harbor
#

the important thing here is to do what they tell you to do, whatever it takes to make them understand the gravity

wanton carbon
#

i personally would rather of had them take it and try and do it so that i dont make it worse

fallen harbor
#

you wont make it worse with this

#

you are doing what is necessary for them to take it

wanton carbon
#

right they are done

fallen harbor
#

once they cant help you anymore from emailing they will ask you to bring it there

#

if things go well

#

that is

wanton carbon
#

I HOPE IN GODS NAME they work

#

im not christian but PLEASE GOD

fallen harbor
#

if you are up there

#

help me superman

wanton carbon
#

ok another problem now

#

FUCK SAKE

#

it says i need to - please update your microsoft basic render driver

fallen harbor
#

what says that?

wanton carbon
#

when i tried to go on bfv

#

and my phone is dead great

fallen harbor
#

alright lets see

#

if i am not mistaken, it is asking you to update your integrated graphics, and that's not what you want to use. It's ignoring your gpu. Did you restart your PC after the driver installation?

wanton carbon
#

no

fallen harbor
#

do that

wanton carbon
#

ok

#

back in 1 min

fallen harbor
#

ok

wanton carbon
#

my other moniter wont re connect

fallen harbor
#

we can focus on that later

#

first make sure to check how the game runs now

wanton carbon
#

my screen is pushed in and my resolution is bad fml

#

why cant they just take it in and fix it for god sake man

fallen harbor
#

calm down that's normal

molten coral
#

Did you really download the drivers?

fallen harbor
#

right click on your desktop > display settings

#

and choose the right resolution

#

if the right resolution isn't there, then you installed your driver wrong

wanton carbon
#

omg

fallen harbor
#

nothing of this has a point of no return, it's all good, you shouldnt worry this much

wanton carbon
#

see this is what i mean , im shit with tech

fallen harbor
#

want me to do it thru teamviewer?

wanton carbon
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

give me ur id and pw on pm

wanton carbon
#

done

supple bane
#

@wanton carbon reinstalling the drivers wont fix it.

#

if you havent already worked that out

wanton carbon
#

ik

supple bane
#

i reinstalled the drivers already when i was remoted into your pc

wanton carbon
#

my resolution has gone horrible

#

its pissing me off big time

supple bane
#

thats a symptom of not having a driver installed at all

wanton carbon
#

this pc is just weird

#

idk what has happened to it

#

im installing the drivers rn

supple bane
#

oh.

wanton carbon
#

storm is coming mad by me lmao

fast fable
#

How can I clam the games

#

They said I won

wanton carbon
#

nah my computer is still the same lmao this is so annoying

fallen harbor
#

did you install the driver?

wanton carbon
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

when you say it's still the same you mean the screen resolution and the second monitor still dont work? or that the games still work badly?

wanton carbon
#

its all working , its just my games dont work as they should

#

so nothing has been fixed

fallen harbor
#

i see, by the way did you check your CPU temperatures?

#

somebody here has been having very badly gaming performance and it ended up being that

wanton carbon
#

i dont think its my cpu

fallen harbor
#

at this point i wouldn't rely on guesses

#

you can download "core temp" to check the temperature if you want to discard that

wanton carbon
#

does it overlay in games

fallen harbor
#

yes

#

if you for instance were to remove the cooler at all, even windows will be almost unusable

wanton carbon
#

i use a h60 water cooler from corsair

fallen harbor
#

maybe it's malfunctioning

#

anything could be at this point

wanton carbon
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

i would check the temperatures

wanton carbon
#

i will test it

#

what should the temps be

fallen harbor
#

can you remind me what your cpu is again please?

#

i forgot

wanton carbon
#

i5 9400F

fallen harbor
#

it seems that if your room isn't too warm, your cpu temperatures would normally be between 30c and 40c when doing nothing

wanton carbon
#

the temps at 30-40 when im idle

fallen harbor
#

hmm what i would do now is open the game in window mode so i can check how high the temperatures raise while gaming

wanton carbon
#

ok

fallen harbor
#

as far as i am concerned, performance issues should be expected if the temperatures raise beyond 85c

#

but if your idle temperatures are proper, i think odds are your gaming temperatures will be proper as well

#

also

#

if you don't mind, i think it could help to check your task manager performance while playing the game

wanton carbon
#

my cpu temps are just below 60 degrees

fallen harbor
#

ok you can uninstall core temp, that's clearly not the issue

wanton carbon
#

while in a multiplayer game

#

yeah

#

my cpu cooler is like 3 months old so i doubt it would be underperforming

fallen harbor
wanton carbon
#

yeah i used that yesterday and the utilization was around 50-60 on my gpu

fallen harbor
#

only the GPU should be 100%

#

uh ok

#

and nothing reached 100%?

wanton carbon
#

my cpu did

#

well not fully 100 all the time

#

but like once or twice my cpu spiked up

fallen harbor
#

but what was the average?

wanton carbon
#

i cant remember

#

lemme look

fallen harbor
#

i have a similar cpu to yours so i can check how it should kinda be

wanton carbon
#

ok

fallen harbor
#

it's been long since i played bfv last so there might be an update or smthn

wanton carbon
#

ts 80 + it does hit 100 alot , but my gpu is like 40-

fallen harbor
#

ts 80 +?

wanton carbon
#

its *

fallen harbor
#

oh

wanton carbon
#

is that bad

fallen harbor
#

will be able to tell in a minute

wanton carbon
#

ok

fallen harbor
#

none of your disks reached 100% either right?

wanton carbon
#

im not sure on them

#

they probs did

fallen harbor
#

they shouldnt at all

#

they should be very low

wanton carbon
#

ok imma go on bf again and try

#

i will just ss it

Everything was going great when ordering components until i realized the Corsair PC case i wanted isn't in stock and there is one left for 550$ on Amazon. I have to no clue when it will be back in stock so if you have the time, can you please recommend cool me some Full Tower Cases that are under 200$ canadian. (plz only reliable sites)

lofty light

The Corsair cube cases are pretty great

#

If you have the room on your desk that is

magic gust
#

Room isn't an issue, but its my first Pc im going to build and i want to work with space. Thats why i want the full tower cases. My room tends to get really hot in the summer so i want a pc that lets air in and out without overheating

lofty light

Well the cube cases are easy as to build in

#

Alternatively the Lian Li 011 is great if it's available and cheapish

supple bane

i need some help

#

im helping someone install windows and ive run into an issue

it says something along the lines of cant install windows because the disk is of GPT partition or something like that

does anyone know how to fix this?

violet plank
#

change the bios to csm if it is set to uefi (boot options)

wanton carbon
#

where do I get msi afterburner , I need it ASAP

#

my cpu is boiling and I don’t have discord to copy the link

#

gpu I meant

fallen harbor
#

its the first result on google if you search download msi afterburner. The site is big and shows 3 different types of it but just scroll down and download te regular one

wanton carbon
#

ty

#

I sorted my computer

fallen harbor
#

what was it?

wanton carbon
#

it should hopefully work

#

a friend reinstalled windows for me

fallen harbor
#

i see

#

if the game works properly now and the disk usage isnt 100% like before, then that was most likely it. I saw you had a lot of programs running in the background when i checked your pc yesterday so maybe some of them were consuming the disk a lot. Make sure next time to properly select what programs you want to keep running in the background

supple bane
#

again you say its fixed but

#

you still havent tried a game

wanton carbon
#

ik

#

better work

fallen harbor
#

let us know how it goes

#

and just in case make sure to install the game in a different disk i would suggest

#

not the one that was reaching 100% before

wanton carbon
#

how many gb's is bf5

supple bane
#

its like 80iirc

wanton carbon
#

i might download it on my ssd

#

if i can

supple bane
#

try a smaller game that didnt work first

#

so we know if its fixed sooner

wanton carbon
#

oh ok

#

i will do rust

oak cave

Hey everyone, I need help. My Pc has these but I have fps issues. Really bad ones. I can only play in low setting and I cant even play on big maps. I can only play smaller game modes or the fps goes down to 30 and even 20. Here is my pc:
Gtx 1080ti
I7-7700
16gb ram (1 slot)
Asus prime b250m-k motherboard

strong breach
#

the 1 ram slot is most likely the problem

latent light
#

@oak cave you need dual channel RAM

#

Get another stick, same model as the one you have

oak cave
#

Really? That is the fuxkin problem ı was dealing with?

#

Some say 7700 is not enough

latent light
#

Yeah dual channel RAM will increase fps by up to 50% and help the stuttering

oak cave
#

Well noone said that before.

#

Thanks

strong breach
#

when you get that another stick have them on Slot A2 and B2

oak cave
#

Thank you

latent light
#

Also playing on low settings with a GPU like the 1080Ti just turns your CPU into a bottleneck

#

That GPU should be played with high/ultra settings

oak cave
#

It doeant change anything

#

It gets even worse

strong breach
#

it probably gets worse cause it also requires more ram from that single stick

#

when you up the graphics

oak cave
#

And I have only 2 slots for ram

wary nexus
#

yea true

#

so add another RAM so they work efficiently instead of overloading a single one

latent light
#

Having two sticks in dual channel doubles the memory bandwidth which in turn decreases CPU latency

strong breach
#

but that should fix the issue 👏

#

dunno why people have said to you that the CPU is the problem

oak cave
#

Thanks everyone. And a little question: how can I learn that my power supply is enough or not

strong breach
#

how much Watts does your current one have

oak cave
#

600

latent light
#

i7-7700 could get hiccups considering 12 CPU threads is the sweet spot for BF5

strong breach
#

thaat should be more than enough

oak cave
#

I spent an year searcing for a solution. Everyone said other stuff. Thanks everyonr

wary nexus
#

ur welcome

strong breach
#

i wanted to google about the subject

oak cave
latent light
#

Yeah that's a 50% fps increase

#

In that video

strong breach
#

he's conveniently using a gtx 1080ti

latent light
#

A locked i7-7700 will bottleneck the 1080Ti in some games

#

Especially CPU demanding titles

oak cave
#

I bought my pc 4 years ago. I was an idiot back then. And the place I bought scammed me it looks like

strong breach
#

damn

latent light
#

It probably has very basic OEM ram that's green and has shit CAS latency

#

Might as well buy two new sticks of 2x8GB 3000 MHz or better

strong breach
#

i mean yeah if the 1x16gb sucks rather go with 2x8gb

latent light
#

Corsair Vengence RAM is the best choice for value/performance

oak cave
#

My ram is: Gskill 16 DDR4 2133mhz

latent light
#

2133 oof

strong breach
#

it's not the worst though

#

could have been worse

oak cave
#

A new 16 or just sell this and buy a 2x8?

strong breach
#

i'd probably sell that away

#

and get 2x8gb

oak cave
#

Any suggestion? Corsair vengence grimace said

strong breach
#

im using Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) HyperX Fury, DDR4 3200MHz myself

opaque saddle
#

im using vengeance as well

molten coral
#

You can't go really wrong with most brands

strong breach
#

but yee Vengeance is really good too

lofty light
#

I'm using Corsair vengeance because I like the RGB style

strong breach
#

if not better

oak cave
#

And uhm the last question. This pc will mostly will still be good in like 3-4 years right?

strong breach
#

for sure

#

1080ti is still such a good GPU

molten coral
#

I use the Gskill trident z I like it

strong breach
#

if your monitor is 60hz it'll pump out that 60fps from most games in the future too

#

if your monitor is 144hz

#

then it might fall under 144 in close to 3years

oak cave
#

Yea its 60

#

Well, thanks for everything

strong breach
#

let us know if the performance got any better

#

👏

#

I'm genuinely curious

latent light
#

I have G.Skill RipJawz V

fallen harbor
#

Really? That is the fuxkin problem ı was dealing with?
No, it's really not that. Dual channel increases the performance but wont magically make it go from 20fps to 150fps, no offense to everybody that suggested that, but BFV is not unplayable in single channel. You can get over 60 that way.

#

and 2133mhz is also enough to surpass 60fps on bfv

#

you dont need top notch hardware nor dual channel to run BFV higher than 30fps

#

@oak cave

oak cave
#

Well thanks. Im just going to get 2 slot rams

fallen harbor
#

single channel is not the rooth of your problem

#

might be a temperature issue or a drive or PSU malfunctioning

#

or the ram itself malfunctioning too, but not a single/dual channel isue at all

oak cave
#

So uhm. What do u suggest me to do

fallen harbor
#

there are many things to check, hard to tell from a chat. I could but I don't have much time right now because I am at work

#

i came just to say that theres no hecking way the reason you can't go beyond 30fps with an i7 7700 and 1080ti is single channel

molten coral
#

Just get another ram stick, BFV is notorious for running like shit with 1 stick.

#

It's just a fact and you will see better performance in most of your games.

fallen harbor
#

single channel on a 1080ti can give you problems in reaching over 100fps, not over 30

#

your problem is something else and wont be fixed with dual channel

silver vine
fallen harbor

Ok face

fallen harbor
#

ofc dual channel is better but it's not what he came here for

latent light
#

BFV runs insanely better with dual channel RAM

#

My friend solved his stuttering and crashing problems by going from single to dual

fallen harbor
#

20-30fps performance =/= crashing and stuttering problems

#

battlefield V does not run at 20-30fps on 16gb 2133mhz of single channel

magic gust
#

Does 2 8gb sticks with 3200mhz run battlefield 5 decently?

fallen harbor
#

more than decently

#

yes

latent light
#

Yes that's actually the recommended config

magic gust
#

Great thanks

latent light
#

@fallen harbor I'm pretty sure he's got 2133 with CL19 timings

#

Which is horrible

#

He got that PC when Kaby Lake launched, OEM ram was absolutely trash then

#

Still kinda is

#

When you have a GTX 1080Ti and i7-7700, slow ram is a big bottleneck

fallen harbor
#

not denying that

#

his car wont turn on, upgrading its shitty wheels wont make it turn on

prime jasper
#

Might as well get faster ram anyways.

#

Just overall better for all games.

#

#

does somebody have problems with origin / bfv?

my friends list at origin is no longer displayed -> offline. but i'm online. I am also permanently kicked off the servers.

oak cave
#

and I realised my fps goes down under pressure. as I said, in smaller game modes its not a problem 60fps. but with bigger game modes its a nightmare

#

@tired adder restart origin from task manager? maybe will work

tired adder
#

I have no packet loss or latency problems-> 9ms with no loss

#

I have already reinstalled

prime jasper
#

I can only hit 85 fps consitantly on my g14

#

Just capped it at 60

#

Laptops am I right

#

Thermals and framerates

#

@prime jasper performance of the 2060 Max-Q is like 30-40% slower than the desktop 2060

prime jasper
#

I know

latent light
#

basically making around like 1660/1660Ti performance

prime jasper
#

I know

#

But DAMN thats low

latent light
#

85 fps seems pretty normal

prime jasper
#

I used to hit 160-190

#

But always in that RANGE

#

never consistant

#

I'm getting a reg office monitor so gotta cap

latent light
#

2060 Max-Q actually seems to be in the 1650 Super to 1660 performance range

#

:/

#

they didn't put a better GPU in the G14 because it's thin for a gaming laptop and needs an efficient GPU

anyone know a a headset with no mic for gaming

#

that is good

prime jasper
#

M50X audio technica.

#

Great headset overall

#

HyperX cloud and just take out the mic

storm osprey
#

@wanton carbon im biased towards open back headphones and headphones that would give me a competitive edge, so i like audio technica ad500/700x headphones

I updated my MacBook to the Big Sur beta, and safari is using 600MB of memory per tab

It was using almost 7GB with only a few tabs before I closed it before too

@summer comet i have the Arctis 7 and they are amazing, i love them

summer comet
#

Yeah I have the Arctis 7 as well. I’m not a huge audio nerd so they’re perfect for the games I play and listening to music. I’m sure audio technicas would be better but they’re also way more expensive usually

storm osprey
#

Steel series arctis are actually respected in the audiophile community. Audio technica 700x were around 100-120

Hello tech fellas

#

Hi everyone! I have a Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060 Super and 2x8gb HyperX Fury DDR4 3000mhz. On BF1 I'm reaching 80 fps with settings on ultra, but I think I should be getting more than that. Any ideas? (I'm kind of new to pc gaming, so I dont know too much about settings haHAA )

fallen harbor
#

is dx12 on?

#

are you playing in fullscreen or borderless fullscreen?

#

what resolution are you using?

safe oyster
#

there's like a mod that makes bf1 soldiers accurate right?

#

why not make the same thing for bfv?

#

it sure as hell needs it

supple bane
#

@balmy pond what resolution are you playing in? it sounds about right to me tbh

fallen harbor
#

there's like a mod that makes bf1 soldiers accurate right?
what

balmy pond
#

@fallen harbor @supple bane 1920x1080 - 143hz. HDR10. DX12 off. Tried it on fullscreen and window mode with borders

supple bane
#

wait ur playing with HDR on?

fallen harbor
#

fullscreen is always best for higher fps

balmy pond
#

HDR is on auto

fallen harbor
#

idk what hdr is tho

supple bane
#

turn HDR off

balmy pond
#

Still 80 fps

fallen harbor
#

kinda silly question but is your pc detecting both of your ram modules?

supple bane
#

it wouldnt post if that was the case

balmy pond
#

It is detecting both

fallen harbor
#

what is your cpu temp while playing?

balmy pond
#

I dont know if this works as a clue, but on DMC 5, I'm reaching over 120 fps

#

70° average

fallen harbor
#

i only know that bfv runs from 80 to 110fps on 1080p with your cpu and gpu with rtx off on ultra settings

#

you said you get 80. If you get between 80 and 100 it should be fine i pressume

balmy pond
#

It is fine actually. It's just that I saw someone reaching over 120fps avg with same CPU and GPU, so I was wondering MeowTriumph

fallen harbor
#

hmmm

molten coral

he probably has things turned off
