okay so I did that as well and downloaded the zip files. I extracted them and these are tonnes of files in there which I dont know shit about. There's an install file as well but it's a .bat file and nothing happens after clicking it, it just opens the command prompt and closes it in a second

digital hill
#

Click the install file

#

Don't click the bat file

floral cedar
#

wish I could share the ss

#

the bat file IS the install file

digital hill
#

Weird that doesn't seem right

opaque saddle
#

is it possible to update your driver through Device Manager?

weak girder
#

why do I get more fps on native 1080p than 1080p on a 1440p screen?

digital hill
#

More pixels in 1440p compared to native 1080p I think?

weak girder
#

there shouldn't 1080p is the number of pixels

#

1080p on a 1440p screen should just be blurrier but there shouldn't be a performance hit

digital hill
#

I mean it was a guess

#

Though are you running the background in 1440p

opaque saddle
#

not sure coz not much info has been provided. it shouldnt be unless you have set the res to 1080p and the game upscaled it to 1440p

#

minor impact but not much'

weak girder
#

btw

weak girder
#

but I used to get 75 fps, now I get 110

#

in the high preset

digital hill
#

Are you using a 1080p screen?

weak girder
#

now yes

#

this doesn't impact me btw, this was out of curiosity

#

cause it's quite wierd

opaque saddle
#

i dont play apex so i wouldnt know how it owkr

#

works

weak girder
#

works wierd, gpu architecture really impact this game and old cards can't play it

weak girder
opaque saddle
#

no worries. but it shouldn't change much unless your settings have been changed

weak girder
#

yeah ik

#

my settings never changed

Bro I shot the guy in the air yesterday while playing BF 3😎

#

😂

In the past, when I was playing BF 1942, the man shot me in the air with a bazooka but😔

Aight

#

I got a loud coil whining GPU

#

I should get used to it

turbid verge
#

what gpu u got?

opaque saddle
weak girder
#

what in the...

opaque saddle
supple bane
#

playing minecraft on the worlds smallest monitor haHAA

opaque saddle
#

nah i was trying to build a portable server

#

so trying to build one without a display

#

but i still need a display to set up and cant be bothered to move a 42" TV for the purpose

proud trellis
#

wtf

cloud mango
#

i7 730 good cpu

supple bane
#

considering that doesnt exist, ill guess you are talking about the i7 930. in which case, it eint bad i guess

#

probably could hold its own in very light games

#

maybe minecraft, but it eint playing AAA titles

lime raft
#

The grand mystery of gpu usage

#

Ik a gpu can pull few % more

#

But 22% thonkingMGB

supple bane
#

Probably both not 3d

#

Task manager splits it into gpu-3d, gpu-decode, gpu-encode, gpu-copy

proud trellis
#

99% gpu is good ?

#

high cpu is bad

digital hill
#

I mean what is he running?

modern gull
fallen harbor
#

the gpu is supposed to be at 100% most of the time

digital hill
#

Yeah if its not idling though

modern gull
fallen harbor
#

if you are not running any game and your gpu usage is still high then it's most likely because you have instant replay enabled

#

it's the thing where you press a key and it records the previous 1/20 minutes that passed

fallen harbor
digital hill
#

True

proud trellis
#

i cba

#

i go to another discord for help about my cpu bullshit and all they do is piss about

fallen harbor
#

forget about it ice

#

you got a very obscure problem

#

you need to get your computer replaced asap before you run out of guarantee

proud trellis
#

they wont replace this shit anyway

#

might just put in a complaint

lime raft
#

27% was instant replay yes, and the game was anthem

supple bane
#

there you go then, 27% would be on gpu-encode

#

a 1080 or an rx 480? they arent even in the same league

digital hill
#

I mean its the developer of the game to set that up

supple bane
#

unless project cars 2 is just unbelievably amd optimised

digital hill
#

steam has no involvement with that

supple bane
#

who ever it was, its silly

digital hill
#

Imagine seeing this in a microcenter

supple bane
#

id probably have the same reaction as the person who took the picture

digital hill
#

Yeah

supple bane
#

bent over laughing so hard they have lost basic human function, after 3 minutes of balling they finally have the motor function to take a picture and send it to every discord server on the face of the earth

proud trellis
digital hill
#

I have a micro center buts its pretty far

proud trellis
#

atleast i dont think we do

digital hill
#

from my location

supple bane
#

BrO wE gOt CuRrYs Pc WoRLD tHo

proud trellis
#

currys is overpriced

digital hill
#

Though for me the cheapest 1080p 144hz monitor was a curved monitor

proud trellis
#

um

#

lol

supple bane
#

yeah curved monitors appear to be cheaper for some reason

molten coral
#

I wish I had something like Micro center in the Netherlands

#

but from what I know there isn't anything like it

supple bane
#

most all budget gaming monitors are curved

molten coral
#

only online retailers really sell PC parts

proud trellis
#

i wish europe had something like microcenter

supple bane
#

my monitor (samsung cjg5) is curved too, and it was 300 ish pounds for 1440p 144hz

opaque saddle
#

Curved display and not ultrawide makes it feel weird

digital hill
#

Yeah though its bad too since scalpers have outsmarted people and used bots and in less then 1 second its all gone

opaque saddle
#

Samsung make the hype these days

supple bane
#

its a really good display for the price

digital hill
#

samsung got some pretty good monitors

supple bane
#

its a VA which is meh, but everything else is pog

opaque saddle
#

I got a VA monitor that is made by Samsung

proud trellis
#

my first moniter was samsung but my nan broke it

opaque saddle
#

They are affordable and delivered the value of the price

digital hill
#

I got a va monitor from aoc

opaque saddle
#

Still VA colour isn’t as great as IPS

digital hill
#

Yeah but the warranty for aoc is funny as you get a 1 time if you break it you get a replacement

supple bane
#

honestly my biggest complaint with my monitor is the colour of the bottom bezel, its like gun metal grey and its gross on a monitor

near rune
#

Just buy a cheap monitor first then upgrade and you have 2 screens

supple bane
#

thats what i did actually

opaque saddle
#

I have 3 atm

digital hill
#

I have 2 working monitors and 3 broken one

supple bane
#

started on 1080p 75hz, then upgraded to 1440@144

opaque saddle
#

I bought 4 displays last year

digital hill
#

What happened to that 4th display as you said you have 3?

proud trellis
#

i started on 720p when i first got my pc and then i got a 1080p 60hz

opaque saddle
#

A 4K DELL, xiaomi ultrawide and a Viewsonic 2k

near rune
#

A 720p works well as a 2nd screen

opaque saddle
digital hill
#

Didn't know xiaomi made monitors

opaque saddle
#

This is my 4th one

digital hill
#

Ah

opaque saddle
#

Nah XIAOMI uses Samsung panels

digital hill
#

Ah

opaque saddle
#

I believed many curved displays are Samsung panels

#

Under the hood

digital hill
#

Could be

supple bane
#

a lot of things under the hood are made by samsung lol

molten coral
#

samsung is big

digital hill
#

Though some are made by lg too

supple bane
#

i bet at least 65% of electronics have at least something made by samsung

proud trellis
#

LG make a shit tonne of things

opaque saddle
#

Like your iPhone

near rune
#

Most panels are made by samsung and lg on monitors anyway

proud trellis
#

they make fridges

supple bane
#

hehehe

near rune
#

Or any kind of display

supple bane
#

yup

molten coral
#

Samsung even has a military department

digital hill
#

Jeez

opaque saddle
#

They do

#

Samsung built tons of buildings around the world

proud trellis
#

arent the apple ipads partly made by samsung ? i read about it somewhere on instagram idk if its true

digital hill
#

The screens are

opaque saddle
#

Nah

digital hill
#

but the whole ipad isn't its made by apple supplier foxconn in china

supple bane
#

they eint made by samsung, but a lot of apple products use samsung parts

opaque saddle
#

I think the IPS displays were sourced from LG JDI and BOE

supple bane
#

samsung memory chips etc

opaque saddle
#

From iPad

proud trellis
#

if i was to get one thing from samsung it would probs be their ssds

digital hill
#

Though I heard apple could be making a foldable phone

proud trellis
#

they do the best ssd's dont they ?

opaque saddle
#

iPhone SE is quite affordable

near rune
#

And old

opaque saddle
#

399 for a mid end phone

digital hill
#

Yeah and you get a powerful cpu in it too

supple bane
#

ahhh i hate that

opaque saddle
#

Early 2010s hardware with powerful high end cpu

supple bane
#

99% of people dont need a powerful fucking cpu in their phone

near rune
#

I wouldnt even pay 99 for an iphone se

opaque saddle
#

Actually they do... not for this purpose

digital hill
#

If they want to game they need a powerful cpu

#

if they want to watch 4k content on their 720p content they will need a good cpu and gpu

near rune
#

Yea play cod mobile on ur small ass iphone screen

opaque saddle
#

More powerful cpu to save power, and for the future upgrades using the apps

digital hill
#

Yeah

proud trellis
#

thought u needed ram more then anything to watch 4K ?

supple bane
#

mobile games are overrated and most phone screens are only 1080p anyway, and 1080p video isnt hard to playback today

near rune
#

I can watch 1080p videos just fine

#

On my phone

opaque saddle
#

You can barely see the differences between a high quality 1080p video and 4K videos

digital hill
#

Yeah but you gotta remember technology is evolving everyday

opaque saddle
#

Coz of the YouTube Bitrates

supple bane
#

im just saying, id rather my phone have a higher quality battery, camera, general build, screen and storage over a good cpu

proud trellis
#

who actually needs a good camera on a phone ?

opaque saddle
#

I would rather to have it all

supple bane
#

my use case is, social media, youtube and netflix, and phone calls

digital hill
#

Alright you still need some good cpu not overkill but good

supple bane
#

yeah. but any cpu toady will do those things is my point

near rune
opaque saddle
#

We have different use cases

digital hill
#

Yeah for me I use my iphone 12 for a good camera and some gaming on it

near rune
#

Im completly fine with my current phone

proud trellis
#

i use mine to listen to spotify at night time and thats it pretty much

near rune
#

Ive had this for 2.5 years now i think

digital hill
#

My old phone was iphone 7 plus and its a ticking timebomb with loop disease could happen

opaque saddle
#

I would rather to have faster and more efficient CPU to save battery life, with a good display with ok batterylife

near rune
#

Battery is still way enough for me

proud trellis
#

why buy a phone for a good camera tho , u can get a decent camera for less i swear down ?

opaque saddle
#

I switched from 6 to XS last month

supple bane
#

i use a 350 pound phone with a dog shit cpu in it, and i can play games on that too. and i can doall of the thigns above on top of that. so i dont see the point in needed a more powerful one

digital hill
#

Easy its more portable then a decent camera

opaque saddle
#

I got a DSLR but I found myself using my phone more often

digital hill
#

and I don't have to worry about buying an sd card

near rune
#

I can play any game i want

#

My only complains is having only 64gb of storage and maybe a little bigger screen

supple bane
#

but my 350 pound phone has a dog shit cpu with a 2400x1080 screen, 48 hour battery life, a solid camera, 128gb of storage, in screen fingerprint and face id, and a nice build quality

opaque saddle
#

My $3000 DSLR is too heavy to carry around in general

supple bane
#

to me the money was well spent on all the other things over a better cpu

near rune
#

My current pfp was taken with my phone

proud trellis
#

swear down people only buy the new phones to show off ?

opaque saddle
#

After Each picture I took, people would look at me coz of the size of it

digital hill
#

I mean also you could easily trade iphones for newer phones

opaque saddle
#

I’m using a XS and I found it CPU is quite important but not need to be the most powerful

proud trellis
#

is the XS better then the XR ?

opaque saddle
#

Battery life no

supple bane
#

im just gonna agree to disagree lol

near rune
#

I dont like any iphones

opaque saddle
#

XR has much better battery life for the price

near rune
#

Ur so restricted in stuff you can do

opaque saddle
#

It doesn’t have a dual camera setup

near rune
#

And you need to pay for everything

proud trellis
#

i have to charge it about every 2 days

opaque saddle
#

Hmm

proud trellis
#

i barley use it

near rune
#

Every 2 days isnt bad?

#

I charge mine like

#

Twice a day

#

Depends

opaque saddle
#

I think energizer was trying to make the thickest smart phone in the world with impressive battery life

#

They cancelled the project coz they found it not useful

proud trellis
#

u know the heauawei phones ?

#

however u say it

opaque saddle
#

And cannot hit the target customers

near rune
#

Huawei

opaque saddle
#

Nah

supple bane
#

huwaiaiaweuuiwwiw ? yes

near rune
#

And i have a huawei phone

#

Honor 10

proud trellis
#

i used to have one and the battery life was shit

opaque saddle
#

I don’t know any Chinese phones

proud trellis
#

i had to charge it about 3 times a day

opaque saddle
#

Their CPU can be quite interesting tho

near rune
#

Older huawei phones were really bad

#

My moms p8 lite was dogshit

supple bane
#

i have the samsung a70, id give it 8.5/10

opaque saddle
#

Mid range phones are pretty good actually

proud trellis
supple bane
#

google it i guess lol

near rune
#

I got my honor 10 like a month after its launch

#

In june 2018

opaque saddle
#

But the problem I wouldn’t want a high end flagship phone coz it is too expensive for the price with features that a mid range phone can provide

near rune
#

And its been holding up ever since

#

Just as new imo

proud trellis
#

tbf samsung phones seem durable , i think my brother has had his samsung for atleast 4 years now

near rune
#

I had a samsung s3 or whatever

#

And it broke after a year

#

Also 2 of my friends had the same phone aswell

supple bane
#

dude, the samsung s3 was the most robust phone ive ever owned

near rune
#

And it broke for them in a year aswell

opaque saddle
#

If you don’t drop it or damaged it, it should works just fine after a few years of use

digital hill
#

Yeah though iphones are pretty durable if you got the right case

near rune
#

I dropped it once and it broke

proud trellis
#

i have had my phone for like 2 years now and its only got like 4 scratches on it

near rune
#

The screen was fine but the lcd inside was fucked

#

Somehow

supple bane
#

funny story, i had an s3 in my pocket with no phone case or screen protector, i was running on a gravel car park and it fell out my pocket and timed perfectly with my foot and i hoofed it across the car park

#

perfectly fine

proud trellis
#

i have never cracked a phone i dont think

near rune
#

The screen had nothing

#

Like 1 - 2 scratches

#

But it was like years ago

#

Over 5 years since it happened

proud trellis
#

everyones phone at school has cracks on and im always like WTF do u guys do with ur phones

proud trellis
supple bane
#

kids eh?

tender horizon
#

i dropped my phone like 6 quintillion times and it has like 2 scratches

proud trellis
#

anyone have a technique on cleaning a GPU ?

molten coral
#

For dust? You get a can of compressed air.

storm osprey
#

Don’t waste money on air cans.

molten coral
#

Why?

digital hill
#

I mean its more powerful then a blowdryer and cleans way better

molten coral
#

^

#

And I clean my PC only x amount of months.

#

like every 5-6 months

storm osprey
#

But this once and be done.

digital hill
#

Yeah but if your cleaning all the time then you can use that

#

air can is cheaper

molten coral
#

4 euro for a can of compressed air

#

vs that

storm osprey
#

So after 11 cans you could have bought the xpower

#

And not worry about trying to make a can of air past long

molten coral
#

11 cans hhmm so it will take me around 5 years so that it will be worth buying the xpower.

storm osprey
#

Granted I have 4 pets and live in the desert so I have a ton of hair and dust

digital hill
#

So then that one would be better for your case

molten coral
#

I'll just keep buying cans, I don't want to store an item that I only use every once in a blue moon.

digital hill
#

But for normal people cleaning pc's not all the time an air compresser is still cheaper

#

@molten coral Is that an avgn reference

proud trellis
#

i usually use ear buds to clean the small areas

#

i am on about the fans mainly of the gpu

molten coral
#

avgn?

digital hill
#

angry video game nerd

molten coral
#

no clue

storm osprey
#

Since I bought that xpower thing I’ve probably increased my cleaning.

digital hill
#

Oh

#

I just use a blow dryer to clean my pc

proud trellis
#

eh

digital hill
#

I need compressed air the blow dryer is just weak at times

storm osprey
#

I don’t own a blow dryer

proud trellis
#

my mum does but i wouldnt use a blow dryer imo

storm osprey
#

Like an hair dryer?

proud trellis
#

yeah

digital hill
#

We have too many blow dryers I think 3

#

and so many Iphone chargers

proud trellis
#

im debating weather to let my computer go back again to be "fixed"

digital hill
#

What happened to your pc?

proud trellis
#

i would but i have alot of school work to do

#

idek its just broken in any way shape or form

#

everyone in this channel has tried helping but nothing works

fallen harbor

he has some really obscure problem

download gpu z, look at the sensor tab and see what wattage your gpu is drawing

proud trellis
#

ando was on my pc via anydesk and he said wattage was fine im pretty sure

#

@fallen harbor

fallen harbor
#

the wattage of the gpu was

#

which leads me to believe all of it is fine

#

the cpu and gpu usually use the same channel

chrome skiff
#

how many monitors/tbs

#

tvs

fallen harbor
#

did you try using only one monitor as i suggested?

#

he has two high end razer monitors

#

144hz 2k

proud trellis
#

no BUT i havent really tried BFV , im mainly playing five m and rocket league atm

chrome skiff

tomorrow i will unplug one moniter tho

and see on BFV

Anybody know anything about a vizio tv? I just bought a 65” with 4K and noticed tonight when playing my assault class on the ribeyrolles the reflex sight like drags behind when I’m ads and looking around. It’s very annoying and I’m wondering if there is something I can do to fix this. It’s like the sight drags behind

glossy plinth
#

always get samsung tv

near rune
#

The fix would have been to not buy it

#

And buy from a reliable brand

supple bane
proud trellis
tiny sorrel
#

Corsair

#

aint to bad pc parts wise

#

but other then that def a "premium" consumer products

#

like there keyboards and stuff like that

near rune
#

Corsair tv?

#

They dont make tvs dont they

proud trellis

i was joking

#

its because water always mentions corsair being the "best" brand for anything

Hi. how are they? I need your help please. in battlefield 3 when I hit shift to run my character starts spinning like crazy and I can't stop him. some help?

weak girder
#

uh...

ea should start fixing bugs?

#

how did it happen?

#

@prime jasper

prime jasper
# weak girder how did it happen?

I was in my first game and when I hit shift to run my character started spinning and I couldn't stop it. the only solution was to either open the menu or open the game chat.

tiny sorrel
#

shift button could be bad then

#

possibly

weak girder
#

i dont think so

prime jasper
weak girder
#

if the shift button was bad it would either not work or act as a different key

tiny sorrel
#

yea

#

idk then

weak girder
#

there are so many variables

prime jasper
weak girder
#

could also be related to your current version of windows

#

is it 64 bit?

prime jasper
#

yes

weak girder
#

should not be windows then

prime jasper
#

How do I determine if it is 64 bit or 32 bit?

fallen harbor
#

your windows?

prime jasper
fallen harbor
#

right click on this pc, properties

#

there should be some of the specs of your pc there

weak girder
#

or typw system

#

in search bar

#

same thing

#

@prime jasper it could also be gpu related

what gpu so you have?

prime jasper
#

if it is 64 bits

weak girder
#

64 bit shouldnt have issues

prime jasper
#

i don't have gpu

weak girder
#

hmmmm that could be one of your problems

fallen harbor
#

it's clearly not a performance issue, it's a configuration issue

#

i dont see why it should be the gpu

weak girder
#

could be lack of vram

fallen harbor
#

or 32 or 64 bit

weak girder
#

some people had problem with 32 bit systems

fallen harbor
#

how could a bad configuration where a key does something it isnt supposed to do be lack of vram?

weak girder
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

🤔

weak girder
#

but its an animation problem correct?

#

crouching?

fallen harbor
#

the way he described it to me sounds just like his camera spins around

weak girder
#

could actually be keyboard related

fallen harbor
#

is it a laptop? @prime jasper

prime jasper
fallen harbor
#

go to the windows search bar and type dxdiag and launch the program that pops up and send us a screenshot of the result please

weak girder
#

I thought the character bugging out was a texture problem where the chracter would start behaving really wierdly and split or smth

fallen harbor
#

send it to me via pm if you cant send it here

#

also try to take a screenshot of the problem in action

#

or record a couple of seconds of it if possible

prime jasper
#

It's in Spanish so they won't understand anything

fallen harbor
#

soy de argentina asi que pasalo nomas

prime jasper
#

processor: i5.9400 f
memory: 8 gb ram
integrated graphics: intel graphics 630

#

ahi ta

fallen harbor
#

you do have a gpu

prime jasper
fallen harbor
#

wait this doesnt make much sense, the i5 9400f doesnt come with an igpu

#

send me a screenshoot of the second tab

weak girder
#

yeah

fallen harbor
#

of dxdiag please

weak girder
#

f means that you dont have a igpu

fallen harbor
#

the pantalla tab

#

a pc with i5 9400f and no gpu wont display any image at all

#

it's a strong cpu but with no igpu

#

it's meant to be combined with a dedicated gpu unconditionally

#

unless im missing something

weak girder
#

so how can his system actually work?

fallen harbor
#

idk, im confused

weak girder
#

he couls have just mistaken on the cpu

fallen harbor
#

my guess is that he got his specs wrong

#

ye

#

maybe it's an 8400

#

or 10400

#

does the regular 9400 actually exist?

#

ive never seen it

weak girder
#

it does

fallen harbor
#

because if it does then it might be just that

prime jasper
#

wait

weak girder
#

it could be a good idea for you to buy a gpu fitting your budget

fallen harbor
#

just do the dxdiag thing

#

the info there should be accurate

weak girder
#

he can also search specifications in the search bar

#

then we'd know his exact cpu

#

or device manager and click on display adapters for the igpu

fallen harbor
#

yea

#

same thing though

#

i find dxdiag to be easier

weak girder
#

so @prime jasper

#

?

prime jasper
#

my pc won't let me record

fallen harbor
#

do the dxdiag thiiiing

#

also you can record with OBS studio

#

it's the best recording software if you are using integrated

weak girder
#

or just write on discord what the things saying

fallen harbor
#

literally just launch dxdiag and send us a screenshot

#

you dont have to download it, it comes with windows

weak girder
#

yesssss

fallen harbor
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

prime jasper
fallen harbor
#

the what

if it asks you to run a check or a test, say yes

#

it only takes like 5 seconds

prime jasper
#

already solved

fallen harbor
#

the bf3 problem or the dxdiag thing?

prime jasper
fallen harbor
#

smh

#

i still want to know what specs you have though :(

weak girder
#

jesus you take a hell of a long time to check your specs

fallen harbor
#

he was clearly touching the ingame settings in the meantime

#

not focused on specs

#

which makes sense, as i said before

#

tbh

#

it was obviously a controls thing

#

but im now curious about his specs

molten coral
#

Now you can ship it to me Kappa

weak girder
#

not if I get it first

modern gull
#

you guys should have seen the cardboard box it came in. It is like 4-5x bigger than needed for this size

modern gull

Im still waiting for the 3050 ti

tiny sorrel
#

im happy with my 1660 super

molten coral
#

1660 auper is pretty good

tiny sorrel
#

they are for the price

modern gull
#

Ya both should be

tiny sorrel
#

was gonna get the 2060 but covid prices said no to that dream

#

but its fine

modern gull
#

wonder what fps i get in minecraft now

tiny sorrel
#

bro

molten coral
#

atleast 10

tiny sorrel
#

shaders

modern gull
#

getting around 100 fps

#

60-70% load

supple bane
#

you put that in fast lol

molten coral
#

its only 1 click

supple bane
#

it took me about a week to install my 2070 haHAA

#

litterally

tiny sorrel
#

lol

molten coral
#

what

tiny sorrel
#

but how

prime jasper
modern gull
supple bane
#

there was a whole thing about my system not posting with it, and i sent it back only for the company to say there was nothing wrong with it only for it to magically work fine when i got it again gigaMeowStatic

fallen harbor
modern gull
#

funny thing is the higher settings i put on shader the more fps lol

tiny sorrel
#

what

supple bane
#

yeah makes sense with a gpu like that

#

the bottleneck isnt gonna be the gpu, so the more load you can get on the gpu the more fps you will get

#

i get the same fps on 1080p as i do in 1440p on bfv

modern gull
#

i see

prime jasper
supple bane
#

speed run pc building

#

admittedly most of it was already done, cpu, ram and cooler were already on the motherboard

#

and its a basic system

#

but still lol

tiny sorrel
#

that takes like 5-10min

#

yea still

#

man just mach-3 speedran tru that pc

#

built mine in like a hour

#

for my first time

modern gull
molten coral
#

My first PC took me like a day because I had so many issues

modern gull
#

It can take some time sometimes

supple bane
#

im tempted to do a full custom loop on my next build tbh

molten coral
#

Although I've to say that PC was on a budget and everything was shit quality.

modern gull
supple bane
#

i think the deciding factor for that will be if i can find a gpu with a water block already applied, as i wouldnt have the courage to put a water block on my self

storm osprey
molten coral

tiny sorrel
#

if it aint the newest of the newest dont water-cool

supple bane
#

i know MeowTriumph

#

but like

#

yolo right

tiny sorrel
#

yea

supple bane
#

ive never done it, i wanna do it.

#

so it gotta be done ennit

storm osprey

seems like a waste to me

tiny sorrel

if you want but say good bye to your wallet

weak girder
#

I built all my friends' pc's

it waa fun working with rtx 3080s or 3070s

I guide others to a treasure I cannot posess

#

I built mine in a 1h

tiny sorrel
#

my friend wanted a pc and offered him to help him but he wanted a alienwere pc

molten coral
#

I wanted to do a custom loop for a long time but it was like 700 euro in total

tiny sorrel
#

yea

weak girder
#

my current gpu is a gtx 1060

tiny sorrel
#

water-cooling is expensive

weak girder
tiny sorrel
#

yea

#

agree they look to big

#

honestly

weak girder
#

they look like ventilators

tiny sorrel
#

they do

#

im fine with my small as case

weak girder
#

mine is pretty big

modern gull
#

btw found out what caused the image in battlefield to be over sharpened it was the post proccessing settings

weak girder
#

really

supple bane
#

im confident i can say mine is the biggest OkayChamp

modern gull
#

if maybe you guys also annoyed by that

weak girder
#

i get fuzziness

not in a really bad way

proud trellis

waterlooping is just more effort but pulled of correctly looks cash

How much dust gets in there?

modern gull

wait what the pc is in the desk?

supple bane
weak girder
#

you put your pc in a fridge or smth

modern gull
#

ez cooling haha

supple bane
#

its 3 intakes all un filtered

weak girder
#

I would send mine if I could

molten coral
supple bane

only thing on my side is exhaust is 2 fans through a 240mm rad so there is massive positive pressure

supple bane

why does discord compress my image so it looks like i took it on a 1980s disposable camera : (

weak girder

I cant even send images

@molten coral i no longer like you

#

what the heck

tiny sorrel

you have to get the image link and post it SEB

Kinda thinking about selling all my money/gear from runescape and get a Logitech G29 and a shifter

nacho!!!

molten coral

#

optimal airflow

molten coral
#

yes

#

I didn't care enough to put that back in

supple bane
#

that takes that build from a 9.5/10 to a 3/10

molten coral

wow

#

You aren't the first one to point that out though

proud trellis

now i see it i cant unsee it

supple bane

Don't really get why people think that it's such a big deal

tiny sorrel
#

nice

modern gull
#

hmm... my gpu dont seem to go 100% in bf5 with DXR also i get some stuttering

#

strange

storm osprey
#

@weak girder get that shit off the floor

supple bane
#

its on a wood floor

weak girder
#

yeah dont worry

supple bane
#

its fine

proud trellis
#

mine is on the floor too

weak girder
#

its an old photo

storm osprey
#

wood is bad too

supple bane
#

not as bad as carpet

weak girder
#

I did a lot of cable management

storm osprey
#

sure but thats like saying a getting ran over at 30mph is better than 50mph

supple bane
#

it is tho heh

storm osprey
#

it is but id still rather not get ran over in the first place

supple bane
#

eh, i wouldnt mind

#

whats the difference between having it on a wood floor compared to a wood desk tho

#

other than the chance of kicking it

storm osprey
#

being off the floor where 90% of dust accumulates

proud trellis
#

swear down the psu's have the filter at the bottom anyway ?

weak girder
molten coral
storm osprey
#

i think the golden rule is to have your pc at least 6 inches off the ground

proud trellis
supple bane
#

do you have your desk on the floor nyphon?

storm osprey
#

cart

supple bane
#

you have that little wheely thing

#

so its on wood, on the floor gigaMeowStatic

weak girder
#

I should put it on my desk now

molten coral

expensive

storm osprey
#

yep, wheely thing and its exactly 6 inches off the floor

supple bane
#

of course it is

molten coral
#

I paid 400 euro for 32GB @proud trellis

oh wait is euro 2x the ammount of pounds ?

supple bane
molten coral

Yeah

#

It was super expensive a few years ago

storm osprey

i remember those days

molten coral

Wasn't the best year to upgrade

If you place your desktop on a cart, would it become a laptop thonk

storm osprey
#

my friend got basic ram, 16gb 3200, for 180 bucks

supple bane
#

my standard, black, corsair vengence 16gb 2133 cost me over 100 pounds gigaMeowStatic

weak girder
supple bane
#

was like 115 i think

proud trellis

#

£231

molten coral

I can buy a new motherboard and PSU with that

weak girder
molten coral
#

Personally I'm not getting anything lower than a 3080

storm osprey
#

3080ti soon

molten coral
#

yeah

#

kinda waiting for that

tiny sorrel
#

will my photo not send sadge

weak girder
#

yes anything lower than 4k 144 fps is absolutely worthless

molten coral
#

My monitor is 3840x1080 so almost the same as 4K

weak girder
#

I was kidding...

storm osprey
tiny sorrel
#

1080 144fps is just cash overall

weak girder
#

yeha

tiny sorrel
#

oh ok Nyphon

weak girder
#

1440p is even better but my card cant do it

supple bane
molten coral
#

oblong?

supple bane
#

rectangle

proud trellis

lol

supple bane
#

yanno

molten coral
#

oh

supple bane
#

a square, thats been stretched

weak girder
#

yesh

molten coral
#

Never heard of the word oblong lmao

weak girder
#

ultrawides are not the best for gaming imo

supple bane
#

i guess its an old timey british thing

weak girder
#

paps

proud trellis
#

bet BFV looks cool on ultra wides

molten coral
#

I don't need the best, I just want immersion.

#

I'm bad at games anyway

supple bane
#

get immersed in runescape

weak girder
#

im horrible at bf5

tiny sorrel
#

ultra wide looks good on some games more games that actually look good

molten coral
supple bane
#

nice lol

tiny sorrel
#

a flight setup looks interesting

supple bane
#

ive been playing dirt rally in vr, very fun

tiny sorrel
#

and that im a nerd for aviation and want to get into DCS

proud trellis
#

when i sold my wheel idek what model it was , it sold for something like 250 idk how

supple bane
#

i cant get MSFS2020 to work in vr tho annoyingly

#

it will only launch in steam cinema mode, and runs at a solid 7 fps

molten coral
#

I was thinking to buy a wheel second hand but a new one is 250 and for some reason a secondhand G29 is 220.

#

So I rather pay 30 euro more for a new one

weak girder
#

for christmas my uncle gave me his used imac from 2013, guess I have an imac now and I just recieved it...

guess I have an imac now...

#

could use it for work I suppose...

supple bane
#

my wheel is a cheap one, its good enough tho

#

was like 90 pounds

#

hori apex i think its called

molten coral
#

I've seen that one in a few reviews, people are complaining a lot about it.

supple bane
#

ive never had any issues with it 🤷‍♂️

#

maybe that the pedals move around, even on carpet

molten coral
#

It doesn't have force feedback right?

supple bane
#

but even that happens very slowly and needs adjusting like once an hour

#

no force feed back, no

#

im not sure my desk could deal with force feed back lol

#

every action has an opposite and equal reaction of course

#

and this thing flexes enough already with my monitors on it

#

damn ikea stuff, its just cardboard with some 2mm plywood on the top

molten coral
#

My desk is tilting to the wall a bit because everything is on that side

#

Kinda annoying but dunno how to fix it without putting weights on the front of the desk

supple bane
#

my 120 pound yoke is already giving up the ghost which im not happy about

i have 100 hours on MSFS and its making some horrific sounds when i move it

tell us

modern gull

now i am unsure. it probably have been covered

i will try move my game to m.2

i already checked over that

weak girder
modern gull
modern gull
weak girder
#

could be

#

could have been

modern gull
#

but was about to say nvm to the tought lol

weak girder
#

if its old

#

could be because the gpu is too weak for the cpu and the cpu takes over

supple bane
#

what cpu do you have ? @modern gull

proud trellis
#

idk if i should just send it back for them too see if they can find the issue

modern gull
supple bane
#

if you could drive 15 minutes and give it to me, i could find what it is OkayChamp

proud trellis

or that

#

if i was allowed i would come right now

i dont even know if this is american

weak girder

cleaning is the worse of the process

#

it takes me an afternoon to clean the pc plus all my peripherals

molten coral

takes me 5 min to do my PC

#

Peripherals on the other side are a pain in the ass to clean

coarse nimbus

Throw your pc into the washer for easy cleaning

proud trellis
storm osprey
#

isnt that every keyboard?

proud trellis
#

idk

storm osprey
#

i dont know a keyboard that is any different, and i know a lot of keyboards

tiny sorrel
#

all keyboard can do it

#

i belive

#

but membrane is a bit harder to remove than mechanical i believe

digital hill
#

My keyboard has a rubber dome around its mechanical part

molten coral
#

I just clean the parts I can see from my keyboard and hold it upsidedown and shake it a bit

#

Not going to take them off one by one lol

#

will take forever and will 100% brake a few of them

#

because they are super fragile

storm osprey
#

your keycaps are that fragile?

molten coral
#

The 2 tiny rods are super easy to break

tiny sorrel
#

wait

storm osprey
#

ohhh you got low profile switches

tiny sorrel
#

that means that you have a membrane keyboard i belive

#

yea

molten coral
#

membrane? gtfo lol

tiny sorrel
#

well

#

somewhere around there

#

as Nyphon said prolly low profile

storm osprey
#

nah its mechanical

molten coral
#

Nope, it's a mechanical keyboard.

#

Logitech G815

tiny sorrel
#

yep

#

just be careful with them i guess

molten coral
#

I'll just buy a new keyboard in a few years

#

always replace them every x years

tiny sorrel
#

yea

proud trellis
#

i want to get the G502 next xmas

tiny sorrel
#

smart

proud trellis
#

ik its not a keyboard but still

molten coral
#

My next keyboard will be wireless

proud trellis
#

wireless ?

tiny sorrel
#

yea

#

might get a wireless mouse later down the line

storm osprey
#

g502

#

🤮

proud trellis
#

eh

#

it looks sick

storm osprey
#

its a mouse, why do you care what it looks like?!

molten coral
#

Don't buy a mouse or keyboard for the looks

proud trellis
#

i bought the mamba elite because of the RGB lul

storm osprey
#

i hate you

molten coral
proud trellis
#

well it was for my birthday so uhh

#

yeah

storm osprey
#

but you picked it

#

for the rgb

tiny sorrel
#

i have the corsair harpoon

#

for the price its fine and works

#

for what i do

proud trellis
#

there is 1 corsair mouse i like

#

lemme try and find it

#

that one

molten coral
#

so basically a 502 clone

proud trellis
#

mhm

tiny sorrel
#

yea pretty much

proud trellis
#

i would get the razer basilisk but im trying to lower my razer use

tiny sorrel
#

why

proud trellis
#

all my peripherals are razer

tiny sorrel
#

oh

#

if you like it get it

#

its your cash

#

but you do you

storm osprey
#

while thats true, i cant help but to educate people

#

if youre trying to be a fps god and youre playing on a g502 is gotta question your knowledge

molten coral
#

I only play games for fun and relaxation nowadays

#

No need for me to be a sweaty tryhard

tiny sorrel
#

yea

#

your gonna want lighter mouses for fps games

storm osprey
#

see, nacho knows what he wants and a g502 is fine for that

#

im talking the kid that thinks they are gonna go pro using a brick

tiny sorrel
#

yea

#

i have the harpoon as i said not gonna want to go pro but i enjoy fps games and the harpoon works well for me

#

not wanna go pro tho more casual

proud trellis
storm osprey

theres lighter mouses

digital hill

I want a deskpad

#

Any recommendations for a decent deskpad under 20 bucks

storm osprey
#

loaded question

#

do you want a fast or slow pad?

prime jasper
#

Yea

storm osprey
#

or in between?

digital hill
#

In between

prime jasper
#

buy a second hand one

digital hill
#

But I don't know what fast or slow pad means?

storm osprey
#

how your mouse feel on it

#

a thick rough cloth would be slow

#

glass would be fast

digital hill
#

I already have a glass desk but my keyboard is not holding up well

#

moves too much

prime jasper
#

get a book

digital hill
#

I might want a fast mousepad

prime jasper
#

For me I use some old book, it works fine if it ain't damaged

digital hill
#

I have old books

#

But eeh I rather have a desk pads

prime jasper
#

fair enough, but i mean for now ya know

storm osprey
#

afaik the only cheap, good, desktop size, kind of fast pad is fanatic focus 2, which i am actually currently using right now

prime jasper
#

that's intresting

storm osprey
#

i got mine for 15 bucks, but it doesnt have stiched edges

proud trellis
#

i have a corsair mm350 and its great

storm osprey
#

dechanic controls were really cheap and good for the price till people caught on and now they are OOS

tiny sorrel
#

i have the steel series quick qck heavy works for what i do

latent light
#

RTX 3080 mobile uses the full GA104 chip that the desktop RTX 3070 uses

#

Will have significantly lower clocks, so expect RTX 3080 mobile to perform lower than the desktop RTX 3070

digital hill
#

Damn thats powerful for a laptop

graceful plaza

That I of course cant afford

Try disabling discord overlay

So

#

I have a laptop with Ryzen 9 4900hs, 2060, 3200 ram, and a slow ish ssd.

#

My main preferences are fps and graphics but prefer graphics a little more. What do you guys think would be the optimal settings for a good mix of graphics and a high fps count? I'm hoping to shoot a solid 85-100 fps on 1080p.

supple bane
#

with what gpu?

prime jasper
#

Sorry, was trying to edit so I didn't flood.

prime jasper
#

BFV.

mild siren
#

Eh

storm osprey
#

personally think ultra textures and a mix of low/med settings for other things gets the best aesthetics but good fps

mild siren
#

^

prime jasper
#

Okay, and then I'll just edit as I go?

storm osprey
#

i think its fairly subjective though, since i personally hate low res textures

prime jasper
#

Honestly same.

#

I did medium textures on the ground

storm osprey
#

for comp games i always do max textures, but everything else low/off

prime jasper
#

And kind of was sad when I realized how much I end up using prone

#

Okay, thanks!

prime jasper
#

Thank you.

#

Kind of would like to replace the ssd

#

And a better ram stick

#

And then also repaste but thats all a lot of work and I'd have to redownload everything.

storm osprey
#

for gaming it doesnt matter

prime jasper
#

My laptop gets very hot

storm osprey
#

i was talking about ram and ssd swap

prime jasper
#

95c when gaming and fans on nearly full throttle.

storm osprey
#

laptops are just gonna get hot

prime jasper
#

Yea

#

But I'm trying to preserve it's life.

storm osprey
#

i wouldnt bother with an ssd or ram upgrade though

fallen harbor
#

i dont think theres much you can do other than limiting the frame rate

#

what's the refresh rate of the monitor?

storm osprey
#

you can undervolt as well

supple bane
#

you wont decrease its life by anything reasonable at 95c

#

over 100c is starting to get damaging

prime jasper
#

Dude I hit it at 118 once

supple bane
#

but even then, you might decrease its life from 10 years, to 7 years

prime jasper
#

Dear god

supple bane
#

ooh

#

yeah das bad

prime jasper

I was in valorant

#

The bodies don't despawn

#

We set it to instant respawn

2 odins

fallen harbor
prime jasper
#

144

fallen harbor
#

download riva tuner and limit your global frame rate to that

#

you surely were having like 300fps or more in valorant

#

completely unnecessary power

#

that reaches unnecessary temperatures

prime jasper
#

It's not that

#

It's just so many entities spawned

#

Because it's like 100 rounds per mag

fallen harbor

?

i dont think you know what you ar talking about

no offense
