[modern gull]

I see. Was just wondering why the usage is so high in the game. Like is there even a good reason i am thinking.

[quick locust]

I've got a 8700K as well, bfv uses quite a lot

[modern gull]

it uses a fair bit ya

next battlefield probably need 2x i7 8700k while other games you need i3 lol

i think its abit strange the amount cpu usage. where does it even go. does the game have built in bitcoin miner or something

[quick locust]

wish they'll do next in vulkan

yeah i dunno

[strong breach]

It's a mystery

[modern gull]

sure is

[strong breach]

My i7-9700k i capped to 100% usage too :D

[modern gull]

Is this good for less cpu usage?

[modern gull]

Lol how you get 100%?

[strong breach]

Magic

[quick locust]

bfv peaks at 100% sometimes

but mostly in 60-80

if i remember right

for my 8700K

[modern gull]

oh never seen 100% only when loading

[strong breach]

Rtx3080 pushes out more frames so cpu usage goes higher

I could ofc just limit my fps to 60

And not be at 100% usage

[modern gull]

my 3070 wont even go to 100% or around but i downgraded driver now usage bit higher.

It does stay alot 90%+ now

[quick locust]

yeah cpu maxes during loading, which is probably why bfv has pretty long loading times

i dunno

[modern gull]

at the moment i have the game on HDD i still think it loads at decent speed to be honest

[quick locust]

ive got mine on ssd

imagine playing bfv on a fx cpu though

[modern gull]

what is fx cpu ? lol

[quick locust]

like fx 8350

and others

AMD's cpu series before ryzen

[modern gull]

oh i see

[weak girder]

yeah would be a stuttery mess

[ashen ether]

need help

again

I can only access google sites and facebook when i boot my pc

then after around 15 minutes i can access all sites fine

[opaque saddle]

DNS issue?

Had that issue like 10-12 years ago

Can’t remember how I fixed it. But sounded like some software might have hijacked your browser or something

[molten coral]

First step before you even change anything: Did you reset your router?

[supple bane]

have you run an internet speed test ?

[ashen ether]

looks like it

DNS issue

bruh how do i fix this

so, i was playing BFV earlier and my sibling's laptop wont connect to the internet

but mine was just fine

[opaque saddle]

Check if other software has hijacked your DNS first

Coz I know some software are dodgy, especially the Chinese software might have hijacked your computers and bundled with other software during installation

yah fr rainbow rgb looks tacky in my opinion

a solid color will always look better so you can keep a consistent color scheme

with ur setup

[digital hill]

Why more rgb

[storm osprey]

its what sells

[quick locust]

i prefer no rgb

tho i dont really like all black either

[supple bane]

no rgb can look good. but its harder

i also dont like rainbows

just 1 static colour

[proud trellis]

rainbow is annoying

purple or white is my fav

[steep talon]

Dice gonna import the bf5 to ps5? or is gonna be only Bc?

look at the screenshot i sent of angra's name

[supple bane]

thats lies!

nyphon is a lie!

he is a conspiracy

[proud trellis]

i wonder what ur pfp would look like in light mode

it would be invisible

[storm osprey]

thats probably why its that color

so it could be "transparent" on his light mode

[supple bane]

[proud trellis]

[storm osprey]

see

it all makes sense

[supple bane]

ok thats just a coincidence

[proud trellis]

what is the cost of lies ?

[supple bane]

he is paid by the fbi to make my look like a lightmode user. im being framed

how much they paying you, nyphon ?!

just mix 2 colours together that make orange ...

[proud trellis]

oh

[urban thicket]

You need to up your resolution with scaling and push your gpu to around 100 and you will even get more frames, it'll wake your gpu up

Or go to 1440p

You can have too much for 1080

[supple bane]

Thats not how that works @urban thicket

If you increase resolution scaling your fps will always go down

[supple bane]

2000 series and up ive noticed don't like to go to 100% usage, they seem to settle in at 95-96%

howdy

he wants to build a pc but its a horrible time to buy

so he was lookin at prebuilts so i told him to come to you guys to point him in the right direction

[undone sleet]

ya cant find a decent gpu under 600 so i went to prebuilts lol

: (

[storm osprey]

its kind of sad to think of all the factors that make prebuilts finally worth it

[tiny sorrel]

ive heard

[proud trellis]

my friend has come up with some plan to sell his pc rn which i doubt he will get the ammount he wants for it and then get a new pc which he wants prebuilt

he wants to get a prebuilt "just because he doesnt want the watermark on the bottom of his screen

i said to not get a prebuilt because you can save money

[supple bane]

Just out of interest what are the specs and how much does he want to sell it for ? @proud trellis

[proud trellis]

he has a R3 with a 1650 super

im not sure what R3

he wants like 550 for it or something

r3 3200g

@supple bane

[supple bane]

Yeah he won't get that

[proud trellis]

how much do you think he will get

for it

[supple bane]

275-400

[proud trellis]

lollll

[supple bane]

Its a 4 core cpu with a low end two generation old gpu

[proud trellis]

i did say you will probs get about 450 for it but i didnt know it was lower then that

[supple bane]

[proud trellis]

he was hoping to get a new pc that was 1.3k

[supple bane]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VjdnCz

See i threw this together in like 10 minutes

If the prices weren't fucked it would be less than 550 and would destroy his build

And he is trying to sell that used

[proud trellis]

yeah

[urban thicket]

lol nope thats not true

especially if you have a high end card running 1080p and your card usage is very low

[supple bane]

Yes and you are cpu bottlenecked

[urban thicket]

lol

you can have too much card for 1080p "cpu" bottlenecked or not

[supple bane]

You don't understand how this works

[urban thicket]

lol

[supple bane]

If you are at 1080p and your gpu isn't at 100% you are either cpu, ram or engine bottlenecked

There is always a bottleneck

[urban thicket]

i know its sounds counter intuitive, but maybe you should listen sometimes

[supple bane]

I do listen, and I've tested this my self in the past out of interest

Thats why I feel qualified to comment

[urban thicket]

you understand "having too much card" means yes there is a bottleneck...even with the HIGHEST end CPU if you have "too much card" for 1080p you will need to run resolution scaling

and you can make it run to 100

and get more frames

yes

it does actually work

i have to do it

[supple bane]

Look, I'm cpu bottlenecked at 1440p low, on bfv

And going from low to medium sees now fps improvement

Going from medium to high I see a tiny drop, and high to ultra i see another drop

The same effect will be had with resolution scaling

[urban thicket]

i run bfv frame limited to 144

1440p, used to run 1080 and HAD to run 120% scaling or my gpu would sit at 60%

but with 120 scaling i hit 99%

and get 144 fps

[supple bane]

I'm CERTAIN that that's just false

[urban thicket]

lol

im lying

[supple bane]

I'm 99% sure that increasing resolution scale will not increase fps

[urban thicket]

maybe not on your setup and depends on trh egame

[supple bane]

If you wanna record some quick numbers and send them over to me I'll happily take back my words, but until then I'm gonna go againts you

[urban thicket]

lol

[supple bane]

Because what you are saying completely contradicts everything I understand about hardware

[urban thicket]

maybe your understanding isnt as thouraough as you thought it was

use goog;e

not trying to sit here and blow smoke up your ass man, its a thing

[tiny sorrel]

the bigger the screen the more your system is gonna work, hense 1440p gaming is more demanding instead of 1080p

[supple bane]

I did that thank you

Its always the first thing I do

And I found nothing to support your claims

[urban thicket]

im just saying.,...IF you have a HIGH END CARD .... AND RUN 1080p and suffer from a low frame issue.....you might wanna try reslution scaling

just try it

what card and processor are you running

i have a 307o and a 2700x

[supple bane]

I understand in my mind why it wouldn't work, but I can't put it into words, it would be too complicated

R5 2600 rtx 2070

[urban thicket]

it sounds counter intuitive, but if your getting supe rlow gpu usage and your cpu inst at 100% IE a bottleneck...you can "wake up" your card by running scaling

[supple bane]

I understand your logic

But its not that simple

I believe fps will stay the same until a point where the gpu is completely saturated at which point fps will begin to decrease

[urban thicket]

ytou have to understand, im not talking about an actual cpu bottleneck, this is when you have headroom on your cpu

both at wat under 100%

way

[supple bane]

Man put it this way ive never heard of this, it goes againts everything I know and I can't find a single article anywhere supporting you. And I'm gonna test it tommorow

[urban thicket]

bf4 was the main one i had to do it with

1080p i needed to 120 scaling or higher

[supple bane]

I believe in that case you will get the same fps but with more gpu usage

But like I said ill test it tommorow and find out

[urban thicket]

i actually got more cuz the gpu was pegged to 100

maxed out

[supple bane]

Yeah it's pegged out because its rendering more pixels

Not more frames

Yanno what fuck it, imma test it now

I'll ping you when I'm done

[quick locust]

its just no load limit

surprised bf4 can be that low

[supple bane]

@urban thicket there you go buddy

Top one is 1440p low 100% reso scale

Bottom is 1440p low 120% reso scale, no other change to settings, I ran the exact same route on the same empty server for the same time.

Who would have thunked it eh?

[hard aurora]

I have a question: If I have a 60hz laptop and I can run bf on 200+frames, but bec my laptop is 60hz It can only show 60, if I connect a external 144hz moniter will it show 60 or 144?

[weak girder]

144

as long as you play it on your external monitor

[hard aurora]

ooh bet thx

i was afraid i would have to play 60 forever

[weak girder]

60 isnt too bad

[marsh gull]

its playable

[weak girder]

but 144 is seriously better

[marsh gull]

agreed

[hard aurora]

yea i heard that 144 is a big jump

[weak girder]

for comparison the difference is as big as 40-60

[marsh gull]

im maybe getting one in a few months

[hard aurora]

oo nice

[marsh gull]

thx

[hard aurora]

im look into some options bec i was still unsure if it'll work

[weak girder]

its rly easy, you just connec your laptop to your monitor with hdmi

and you're ready for that 144hz

[hard aurora]

nah i meant if it would still be 60hz, bec some dude on reddit said it would still be 60

[weak girder]

what no

[hard aurora]

but thx for the help

[weak girder]

he doesn't know what he's talking about

[weak girder]

you have an idea for what monitor?

[hard aurora]

mm not yet, but ill search up some options when im free from work

[weak girder]

if you need a good 144hz I can recommend you mine

[marsh gull]

the refresh rate depends on the monitor

[weak girder]

it's cheap and it's really good

[hard aurora]

cant wait to see the difference

oo bet

[weak girder]

https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/UM.QV0AA.P01

[marsh gull]

its really cheap for what it is

[hard aurora]

yea it looks good but i might be lookin for something thats larger

the one im usin rn is 27"

[marsh gull]

there a bigger version

[weak girder]

are you looking for 1080p gaming

[marsh gull]

a 27" one

[hard aurora]

yea

1080 is good enough for me

[weak girder]

1080p on a 27 inch looks quite bad

[hard aurora]

it does?

[weak girder]

really blurry

[hard aurora]

im fine wit it, been using this one for bout a few years now

[weak girder]

you're better with 23.5 for 1080p

[hard aurora]

or maybe im just used to it now

[digital hill]

I mean people have opinion on 27"

My dell 27" 1080p monitor looks good

0 dead pixels

Ok/nice colors

[summer comet]

I'm a huge fan of my 21.5" monitors xD

[digital hill]

I remember finding a 15in sony monitor I think from the curb

Colors were bad

1024x768

dead pixels that could easily disappear by tapping the monitor itself

other games work fine like DotA

no ping spike after playing an hour

[storm osprey]

and the fuma 2s shortcomings are its scaling, there basically is none

[lofty light]

fuma 2 is the best "plug and play and forget" cpu cooler for most cpus

Definitely not because I love giant coolers

[storm osprey]

hell the corsair a500 beats the ninja...

[digital hill]

When did that come out?

[storm osprey]

a while ago

[digital hill]

Damn

Wait the time I was buying a cpu cooler it was 100 dollars

The scythe ninja 5 was pretty much a good point

[storm osprey]

it released at msrp of like 100 bucks, which when GN reviewed it they shit on it for the price and performance

but now the a500 is commonly 50 or less, getting as low as 30 bucks

[digital hill]

I bought my cpu cooler in september

[storm osprey]

pretty sure that was around the time of the cheapest the a500 was

nope im wrong, it was 75 then

[digital hill]

Yeah

paid 66 for my scythe ninja 5

[storm osprey]

cheapest a500 was december

[digital hill]

ah

[storm osprey]

yea... the cpus a ninja 5 would be ideal for means its probably beat for cheaper even ignoring the a500

weird niche but o well

[digital hill]

yeah and also I like how it came with simple instructions on how to install a cooler

and the screwdriver for screwing it in

[storm osprey]

is that the one that comes with the stupidly long screwdriver?

[digital hill]

Yep

[storm osprey]

thats at least nice

[digital hill]

Yeah

Just why

[storm osprey]

those handles though

[storm osprey]

who even uses front io ports...

i only use usb for quick shit like a print

I mean I use it for bluetooth and I broke my mobos usb 3.0 board so one can be used

But still looks like shit

[storm osprey]

thats one beefy unit

[digital hill]

I think you can put 2 mobos in there

I already said that

[supple bane]

no case at all

sry though you said any box, like not specifically carboard

[weak girder]

dont dig yourself in the hole

[marsh gull]

yes

[finite torrent]

What the fuck you making your boxes out of, I obviously ment cardboard

[marsh gull]

anyways ill just remove it sry

[weak girder]

lead ofc

[finite torrent]

I was just joking with you, you don't have to remove it

[marsh gull]

oh ok its fine sry anyways

[prime jasper]

Boxes don’t have to cardboard

To be*

I’m tired

I’m going to bed

[quick locust]

I use front IO for usb sticks and sometimes audio

I never use bluetooth anything

[supple bane]

my front io isnt even connected

power button and thats it

[quick locust]

i have power button, front mic and headphone, reset button and two usb 3.0 ports

[supple bane]

i do too

but they eint plugged in

[quick locust]

usb 3.0 connector is the worst in existence

the internal one

[supple bane]

oh yeah lol

[molten coral]

I've all my USB ports used

I need more tbh

[supple bane]

i had a cheap asus board, and the housing thing for the usb 3.0 came off on the front io cable

[quick locust]

I've got two unused usb ports on my keyboard and 4 usb 3 ports on my monitor

[supple bane]

yanno that little plastic shroud thing

it was stuck,

i needed to use a knife to pry it off the end

and when it came off. it shot across the kitchen lmao

[molten coral]

[quick locust]

yeah happened to me on my z370 a pro

shroud came off the mobo

trash connector

[supple bane]

so now that port is just metal prongs, no plastic around then

[quick locust]

same

at least I didn't do that on my current board

[supple bane]

i was like 100% confused when it happened lol

i was staring at it for like 5 minutes trying to work out what the hell happened. because i knew both sides looked wrong, but i didnt know what

[quick locust]

lul

ive got my front LED hooked up too, it's the only LED in my PC

it's not addressable though, since it's just molex LED

But I generally don't like rgb anyway

[plucky violet]

What could be the cause of a clicking noise when muting my mic?

[weak girder]

?

you here a clicking noise when muting your mic?

[plucky violet]

I dont but other people can hear it

[long moon]

This isn't tech support

[plucky violet]

ok karen

[long moon]

.

lol what

[long moon]

..

[strong breach]

heyyy

let's be nice to eachother

[long moon]

[weak girder]

ok, sorry

[strong breach]

👌

[storm osprey]

i know im extremely late, but budget?

[prime jasper]

@storm osprey 150 max

[storm osprey]

.... thats a huge budget for a case

[weak girder]

you can get a good case for that

[storm osprey]

not even close to poor man..

USD?

[prime jasper]

I’m rich biioootch

Just kidding

What’s a usd?

[storm osprey]

unites states dollar?

[opaque saddle]

i got myself a 45 buck case and it works

[prime jasper]

CAD

[weak girder]

about the same no?

[storm osprey]

hmm, things might change with that, but ill check really quick

[prime jasper]

So like 100 usd

[storm osprey]

nah, stuff in canada is way more expensive

[prime jasper]

Yeah Canada is expensive when it comes to pc parts

[storm osprey]

i have a friend that sometimes buys from usd and mails it and its still cheaper

[molten coral]

Canada and Australia are always fucked when buying PC parts.

[opaque saddle]

10% gst

[prime jasper]

10 ha I wish

15

[opaque saddle]

and our currency rate isnt too bad at the moment

exchange*

[prime jasper]

15% in Quebec

[opaque saddle]

it was like 1AUD =0.55 USD back then

[storm osprey]

best bang for buck atm is the lian li 215 @prime jasper, i assume its out of stock though, its msrp 70 here

[opaque saddle]

and now 1USD = 0.77 AUD

[storm osprey]

also, what motherboard do you have?

[prime jasper]

Mid tower?

[opaque saddle]

plus the tax so it makes it really bad for buying pc parts

[storm osprey]

are you asking mid tower to my motherboard question?

[prime jasper]

I have a Gigabyte B450 AORUS PRO WIF

[storm osprey]

thats regular atx, unless its b450m

[prime jasper]

I need something with really good cooling

I have the nzxt h510 right now

[storm osprey]

oof

[prime jasper]

And there is no space to install more fans

[storm osprey]

toasty case

[prime jasper]

Yeah it sucks

Really regret it

It looks minimal and no rgb which I like but it gets hot

I have to take the tempered glass off sometimes if gaming for too long

[storm osprey]

oof

[prime jasper]

Because it gets so hot and loud

[opaque saddle]

i got one of those https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31747/deepcool-kendomen-atx-mid-tower-chassis-titanium

[prime jasper]

Is it possible to remove the the pannels on the right side

With the hd slots

[opaque saddle]

depending on which case you got

[storm osprey]

https://www.newegg.ca/p/2AM-000Z-00069?Description=lian li&cm_re=lian_li-_-2AM-000Z-00069-_-Product

[prime jasper]

The case that you have

[opaque saddle]

i can remove that

[storm osprey]

idk what the normal going rate for the lian li 215 is in canada

[opaque saddle]

i think if you hated RGB fan you can disable the lights

[storm osprey]

i cant imagine a 70 dollar case here is 120 there though...

[prime jasper]

Looks good though

[opaque saddle]

dont forget shipping tho

[prime jasper]

Hmm

Shipping is only 12 bucks

So not too bad

For the newegg one

[storm osprey]

jesus your prices are bad...

let me keep looking

[opaque saddle]

if you buy more items at once, it will cheaper tho

[prime jasper]

Cooler Master Cosmos C700P is really nice but holy fuck it costs as much as gaming console

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B071G4KDKG/?tag=bhale777-20

What about this guy

It’s 90 cad

[opaque saddle]

you need more fans

think about one thing

[storm osprey]

looking at pcpartpicker canada i would go for this

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_1937&item_id=141105

[prime jasper]

I could always install more no?

[opaque saddle]

so you can either get a case with 5 fans = $100 USD for example
or a case with 5 fans included = $100

just giving you an example

[latent light]

I'm gonna make my own small-form factor PC case, thinking of using the case of a dead Xbox

[spice karma]

How’s the exchange rate between USD and Canadian?

[spice karma]

Nice!

[prime jasper]

How hard would it be to build your own case

[opaque saddle]

difficult

[spice karma]

Make it out of wood

[solar kestrel]

[spice karma]

A mahogany

[opaque saddle]

i will not do that

dont get yourself electrocuted

[prime jasper]

Actually a metal with like hard wood finish would look dope

[storm osprey]

@prime jasper imo you either go phanteks p400a, or spend 15 more and get lian li 215x

lian li 215 is going to perform better out the box

[prime jasper]

@storm osprey this helps a lot man

[storm osprey]

but i think the phanteks has more versatility

[latent light]

You can literally use a cereal box as a case if you wanted but it wouldn't have hardly any integrity

[storm osprey]

do you use pcpartpicker soko?

[prime jasper]

Yeah I do

[spice karma]

Isn’t too hard and would look great

[solar kestrel]

yo before some other topic comes up idk if you guys can help me but when i try to load up bf3 i get stuck on initializing

[prime jasper]

https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/diy-wood-computer-louis-vanwalleghem-fb__700-png.jpg

Like this is pretty dope

Don’t know how efficient

But looks really nice

[solar kestrel]

does it have any air flow

https://www.boredpanda.com/diy-wood-computer-louis-vanwalleghem/

Looks like it does

Here’s the whole blog post

[storm osprey]

yea the main problem ive seen with cases people build is that its usually just a fancy box with no airflow

[prime jasper]

Wood is kinda scary though

[storm osprey]

ahh he at least put intake and exhaust

[prime jasper]

Could be a fire hazard no?

[solar kestrel]

idk how

i guess the wood could get hot but idk how it would catch on fire

[spice karma]

How about just convert a tombstone radio case

[prime jasper]

What about an amp?

[storm osprey]

i mean, its ignition point is lower but i doubt if a pc case caught fire it wouldnt in a regular case

[prime jasper]

Like a guitar amp@

[latent light]

If you don't wanna spend a lot for a case and have experience with drilling holes in shit, you could make your own case out of a lot of things

[spice karma]

Just convert an old 40s radio case

[latent light]

Use a guitar amp as a case too lol

[prime jasper]

I’m just thinking about what would look awesome in an office

I don’t really like the rgb stuff

Really off putting for me

@spice karma that would be cool too

[latent light]

I was gonna use an OG Xbox that doesn't work anymore as my next pc case but I found a wooden clock that I wanna use instead

[prime jasper]

How og

[near rune]

Oh no

[spice karma]

Or. Use a stinking jerry can

[prime jasper]

360?

[near rune]

We gave away my x360

[latent light]

Original Xbox from 2001

[near rune]

It couldve been a cool future build

[storm osprey]

just go with a solid black build

[spice karma]

Use a military Jerry Can and then drill out some holes in it for the stuff

[prime jasper]

Okay so my mother board has rgb

[storm osprey]

@prime jasper above

[prime jasper]

Is their a way to turn that off ?

[near rune]

I think ill build a pc sometime this year

[storm osprey]

yea you can turn off rgb

[prime jasper]

I like that a lot

[latent light]

This is the clock I want to use for my mini PC

Even has a door

[near rune]

You need ventilation

[latent light]

Yes which is easy to do

[prime jasper]

Just make holes

😂

[weak girder]

this is...

original

[near rune]

What about the io like usb

[latent light]

I can cut out a hole for that

I've got tools to do anything

[solar kestrel]

what gpu you gonna put in there

[latent light]

Might just get a Ryzen APU tbh

[solar kestrel]

makes sense

[latent light]

Holding off until AMD launches AM5 socket

[solar kestrel]

[prime jasper]

@latent light anything eh?

[latent light]

I'm more anticipated about future integrated graphics in APUs than I am about future discrete graphics cards

Intel Xe iGPU in their upcoming 11th gen CPUs are gonna be much faster than Ryzen Vega iGPU

Next year is when Ryzen APUs get RDNA3 chiplets

[latent light]

I hate that adblocks on mobile only stops browser ads don't do shit to ads on apps

[opaque saddle]

adblock on iOS?

[latent light]

Android

[opaque saddle]

i think same story on ios these days

the anti adblocker seems to be a lot stronger these days

[latent light]

I've got like 4 different adblocks but they don't do anything to ads on apps, just browser

I never use browsers on my phone either because it's much easier to browse websites on a computer

[opaque saddle]

you shall update the block list

[weak girder]

I only use youtube on my phone now

[opaque saddle]

i added 14k domains into the ad blocker and it works really well in safari

not in apps tho

[latent light]

Adblocker only works with Yandex browser or Samsung Internet browser

But not chrome

[opaque saddle]

dont forget google is an ads company

that makes ads

[weak girder]

tbh who the hell uses the samsung internet browser

[latent light]

Ads that I'm paying for lol

[opaque saddle]

lol really expensive tho

[latent light]

I get a data cap every month and advertisements use more than half of it

I pay $45 a month for data, with ads using up most of that data, I'm basically paying for ads

Ads shouldn't charge your data

Should be illegal

[opaque saddle]

i use less than 1gb per month...

[latent light]

I'd be happy if I could get rid of ads on YouTube music app lol

[quick locust]

firefox has ad blocker as well

on android

but yeah, only in browser

[latent light]

Mobile sucks

[quick locust]

ye

[latent light]

Shit like this is why I never pay more than $200 for a phone

Why buy a device that's very limited on choice

[storm osprey]

but can it play fortnite?

[latent light]

Great I found that some adblockers on mobile will block ads on apps but you gotta pay a monthly fee

Might as well buy YouTube premium if that's the case then

[vestal thicket]

Nice (?

[near rune]

Just use the free trial

Actually i already used the free trial once but now yt offered me another month for free

[tender horizon]

yt premium isnt worth 10 pounds imo

[near rune]

No it isnt

[quick locust]

you can use adblocker on youtube on mobile if you use browser, the website just isn't that well suited for mobile

[finite torrent]

Youtube mobile is cursed

[quick locust]

yea

reddit web on mobile is even worse

[green lintel]

Can someone help me

I have a terrible drop-frames at eurotruck simulator 2

I did literally nothing

It was running fine at first

But now it's just soo laggy and unplayable

[proud trellis]

i just re installed ETS2 lol

what specs do u have ?

[green lintel]

Dont laugh ok 😂

[proud trellis]

tbf i never rlly had high frames , do u go to the super busy areas ?

in the busy areas frames can drop alot

[green lintel]

Amd radeon R6 graphics
Amd A-10 computer core or whatever
Ram 8 gigs

[green lintel]

Its not about the area its just anywhere

[proud trellis]

oh its everywhere

[green lintel]

Yeah

[weak girder]

you didn't change any problematic setttings right?

[green lintel]

Like what?

[weak girder]

you didn't put high or ultra graphics?

[green lintel]

I did put it in high at first and it was running fine solid 30 fps

But not its just drop at 16.10

I just dont know what is the problem

[weak girder]

did the game finish downloading everything when you first played it?

[weak girder]

[latent light]

Upcoming AMD Navi 23 has 128-bit memory bus so there will be 8GB and probably 4GB options

Also 32 compute units

While Navi 22 will have 40 compute units and 192-bit memory bus with 12GB memory

[green lintel]

@latent light im sure its 64bit

Also . I fixed the problem

By updating the windows and some luck it worked

[modern gull]

Lol origin use alot of cpu wtf?

ea make new launcher please

found fix

maybe thats why people have so high cpu usage in bf5

[green lintel]

I cant Believe that Origin is still a 32 bit Launcher

[weak girder]

had that too

[modern gull]

ea desktop app using dx 11 lol

[weak girder]

35 fps on ea desktop

[modern gull]

lol

it only refresh when i move mouse it was like 74657094387ms earlier

[supple bane]

yeah but, do you get 144 fps on speed test?

[modern gull]

33% gpu

[supple bane]

oh i have shadow play on lol

[modern gull]

your gpu seem to idle tho that why i assume

oh wot

23%

[supple bane]

thats pretty normal for nvidias replay thing i think

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

besides its not gpu - 3d, so it wont affect fps

[modern gull]

ah i see

[supple bane]

maybe i should change my settings

[modern gull]

decode only

how?

[supple bane]

in the settings tab?

[modern gull]

i mean what settings lol

[supple bane]

alt + z

settings

[modern gull]

but what settings 😛

[supple bane]

to change the recording resolution etc

[modern gull]

ah i see

[supple bane]

anyone knows how to fix copying emblems errors? i get " Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ']' "

idk what you are trying to do

that sounds like a debug code you would get from an IDE 🤷‍♂️

[trim totem]

i copied an emblem in battlelog trought the chrome console, but i get that error

on the last line of the code

[supple bane]

well, idk how it would work with emblems but look for a ] that is out of place on the line that it is highlighting

or a ] that is missing

[trim totem]

@supple bane this is the emblem https://emblemsbf.com/emblem-99076.html

[supple bane]

where are you trying to paste the stuff you have copied ?

[trim totem]

in the bttlelog

torught console of chrome, the usual method

[supple bane]

well its a syntax error. meaning some character is missing or out of place. who ever added that emblem probably made a mistake

[trim totem]

u cant fix? well thats a shame, such a good emblem

thank for help

[supple bane]

paste what you have copied in here and ill see if i can see what would make the error

idk html tho so i probably wont be able to

[trim totem]

https://pastebin.com/49kNZUXm

[supple bane]

and you said it was on the last line ?

idk thats way out of my league for fixing a language i dont know lol.

[digital hill]

That packaging looked cool but yeah

[solar kestrel]

[storm osprey]

I keep seeing this get posted and have no idea how this is news worthy in the slightest.

[coarse nimbus]

so the articles are already being written about how AMD should follow and end their also ridiculous packaging practices?

[storm osprey]

I’ve seen people try to suggest that intel saying they are going cheaper means they are struggling. lol

[solar kestrel]

lool

[storm osprey]

People way too desperate to knock down intel like they work for either company.

What is the best way to record gameplay in good quality? If I compare my quality to video's from for example Enders, his quality is amazing and mine is awful haha

[weak girder]

OBS

much easier to use

obvs you need an nvidia gpu.

but it will record in just as high quality as shadow play can

Does anyone here know how they set up the accepting rules part when you first join the server? I'm tasked with making a community server for one of my friends.

[proud trellis]

do you mean when they have to react with a green tick or something to be able to speak in the discord ?

[night spear]

Not really, i know how to make normal role commands people have to click after reading however on this server a small message will pop up in the middle of your disc where they have steps to complete(read rules and then basically say agree)

[proud trellis]

oh im pretty sure thats for official discord servers only

BUT im not sure

[night spear]

Thats what i was thinking ye

[proud trellis]

i mean i think the role command would be fine

It probably would, haha my friends just see somethind and tell me they want it, thanks for the help tho and have a good day :)

[solar kestrel]

very much so high fps on every game... at least 144 or more when streaming

[weak girder]

thats what hes talking about...

[dreamy siren]

Hey, how to make Punkbuster B work? i get kicked due to this and i've reinstalled punkbuster so many times! How to fix this?

[weak girder]

what game?

[dreamy siren]

Battlefield 3

[weak girder]

it could also be windows firewall blocking the service

[dreamy siren]

Thank you. I will try again

[merry wagon]

Question if I get a ssd does and just want to play 1 game on it do I have to clone my hdd

Or os

[weak girder]

Look into your punkbuster systemlogfile shown in.
/windows/system32/logfile/punkbuster

If PnkBstrA.log says : "Too many failed certificate verifications (C:\WINDOWS\system32\PnkBstrB.xtr); Load denied."

Find the File: system32\PnkBstrB.xtr . Rightclick and >properties> Digital Signatures(tab) > Details > View Certificates > Install Certificate. That should do it , it did here. Even if the window still says "windows does not have enough information to verify this certificate."

found this online as fix for punkbusterB in bf2 and bf3

[cedar trench]

I'm confused, I can't be streaming at 144fps?

[weak girder]

hes saying that if you have 144 fps in games, you can stream it at 144 fps with obs

[opaque saddle]

i would be rather to stream at 30fps with higher bandwidth than 144hz

[weak girder]

I wouldnt know, I dont stream

doesn't even matter if the GPU is chonky anymore

since SLI is dead

[digital hill]

expect cases

they need to be bigger now

[molten bramble]

Every time I see this guy's face... I want to put my fist in it. I don't know why.

[quick locust]

just make more aio gpus

they can be ncie

nice*

[turbid verge]

@strong breach SLI for gaming is just not worth, although for computing or even rendering is a good use

[strong breach]

never understood the point of SLI

you pay double but don't get double performance

might as well instead of GTX1070 x2 buy a GTX1080

[coarse nimbus]

for the computz

[molten coral]

for the flex

[supple bane]

asetek have the aio design patented, no?

[storm osprey]

Sli isn’t even supported anymore right?

[supple bane]

so every company would have to go through them

no

but i think nvlink can work on 3090's

[storm osprey]

Idk if they do or not

And yea, only 3090 has any sort of support

[supple bane]

yeah asetek have the aio design patented

well the design of having the pump inside the block at least

[storm osprey]

That’s kinda bs to patent that

[supple bane]

they must be rolling in the cash lol, the amount of companies/aio designs/units that are out there and they all have to give a cut to asetek id imagine ?

[storm osprey]

That’s why it’s an absurd patent.
