technology

[quick locust]

I am happy about not needing any of them

[near rune]

I tried using icue once

It didnt even open

[proud trellis]

think its the sata cable

but im not entirely sure as mine cant change colour from white

[near rune]

Sata cables are for file transferring

[proud trellis]

yes ik

@supple bane are u thinking about getting a corsair AIO or something

[supple bane]

Nah just out of interest

Basically, I don't understand how rgb works and I'm trying to teach it to my self lol

[proud trellis]

ohhh

[supple bane]

Like I seems there are 3 or 4 different rgb connectors on a motherboard and they all do different things for different types of lights and I don't know which is which

[near rune]

Its just led lights

Its all complicated electronic stuff

[supple bane]

No, yeah duh lol

I mean the connectors and stuff

Like I genuinely couldn't figure out how to control my fans from my motherboard

I have rgb headers but I have many different kinds with different pin-outs and seemingly no where clearly explains which is for what

[near rune]

You mean the fan speed or the rgb

[proud trellis]

i thought fans just went in any pin connectors tbh

[near rune]

It depends what brand the fans are

[supple bane]

Exactly!

[near rune]

Do they even have a software to control them

[supple bane]

Its done through motherboard based software on these ones

Fusion 2.0 in my case

[proud trellis]

cant u get the fan thingys

idk what they are one min

[supple bane]

Hub?

Yeh thats what I'm using

I'm not asking for a solution, rather an explanation

The way I have it set up has them working fine, its just I still don't understand which connectors do what

[proud trellis]

i think its a hub

for fans

[near rune]

Thats a controller

[proud trellis]

oh

[supple bane]

Yeah, but again, where does that plug into the motherboard lol

[proud trellis]

this is from my old computer

[near rune]

Read the manuals

[supple bane]

This is the fucking problem!

Shits not universal

Deepcool manual just says RgB hEaDeR

Which damn one tho lol

[near rune]

Whatever one is empty i guess

[supple bane]

No because there are different types

As ice has just confirmed for me

My motherboard has 3, all of which are different

Name different and seemingly do different things

My aio has 4 pins, not 3

[proud trellis]

4 ?

what

[supple bane]

No wait it does have 3 sorry

But it looks different

It doesn't have the blank slot

So that connector would not work with the rgb header im using on my motherboard rn

Which proves my point, there are different types of rgb header all for different things

[proud trellis]

btw do u think i would be able to use that fan controller i just send in that pic for a future build or is it no use nowadays ?

[proud trellis]

is it to do with different brands ? or is it not

[supple bane]

Probably

But that doesn't answer my question lol, since brands use different names for different connectors

How does one know which is which

Without just trial and error and hoping nothing catches fire

[molten bramble]

As mentioned last night, there is a header cable.

[proud trellis]

I almost fucked my whole pc

with water

[digital hill]

@proud trellis Jeez

[proud trellis]

hopefully nothing is damaged

[supple bane]

you spilt water on your pc ?! @proud trellis

[solar kestrel]

[proud trellis]

everything is fine i hope

just wiped everything down

gonna try and see if it turns in

on *

opened up everything

[proud trellis]

yes 😐 if this shit doesn’t turn on I’m gonna be in the shit

[supple bane]

did you turn it off right away?

or did you spill water on it then it turned off on its own?

because one is very good and the other is very bad

if you turned it off right away DO NOT turn it back on

[proud trellis]

I turned it off

[supple bane]

ok unplug it and dig around and look for water

[proud trellis]

I opened up the back panel and looked for water around the psu and was none

I have looked inside the psu power plug slot

looked in the mobo ports

[modern gull]

LET IT DRY!!!!!!! lol

[supple bane]

i would unscrew the psu and pull it out and look all across the bottom of the chassis

dont need to unplug anything

just slide it out

or shouldnt at least

[supple bane]

and yes do this ^

leave it over night at least

[proud trellis]

the fuck do I say to my parents

[supple bane]

preferably with a fan on or something

[modern gull]

If you are lucky it didnt short anything

[supple bane]

if you turned it off right away it will probably be fine

[proud trellis]

yeah I did

[supple bane]

if it turned off on its own, its probably dead

[modern gull]

could still be alive if hes lucky tho 😛

[supple bane]

doubt

well maybe

[proud trellis]

I’m just gonna leave it with all my windows open

as it’s cold outside it should help

[supple bane]

mm yes, freeze all the water

[modern gull]

lol

[solar kestrel]

LUL

[supple bane]

i wonder if ice is conductive

[modern gull]

[solar kestrel]

[modern gull]

haha nICE one

[supple bane]

that was a genuine question

its not, i googled it

[solar kestrel]

Klikard you know you can change colors right

[modern gull]

Yes

[supple bane]

he wants to be minimalist

[modern gull]

but nobody has this color lol

and that

[supple bane]

dont you have a desk fan ?

[modern gull]

Its water soo idk

[proud trellis]

no

[modern gull]

problem with water and electronics its the dirt and stuff, if it was 100% pure water you could even maybe have it in water with it on. but personaly i am not willing to test

[proud trellis]

what if it’s dead tho

I won’t be able to get a new pc from the company will I

cuz I caused the issue

[supple bane]

yeah pure water really isnt that conductive

it will be fine

i doubt the low voltage in pc parts would have enough puff to gap across pure water

[modern gull]

It could be dirt on the things water fall on and collect that and turn conductive. but idk

[proud trellis]

the water fell on the top part of the pc first

and then it splashed everywhere

it went up my wall 😩

[supple bane]

does your case have top fan holes ?

[proud trellis]

no

[supple bane]

oh that improves things i guess

although again, pc cases arent known for being water proof

[proud trellis]

yeah

[supple bane]

so just, leave it to dry over night, maybe take the gpu out and things to be extra sure

deffo take front and back panels off and move the psu out of the case

[proud trellis]

if the water isn’t at the bottom near the psu then it should be good shouldn’t it

[supple bane]

if you are willing to take that chance, do as you please i guess

its like 4 screws,

[solar kestrel]

honeslty sicen you shouldnt use it till tommorow i would go ahead and take the extra percostions

it wont make anything worse

[supple bane]

unscrew, place on desk beside case, done

dont need to unplug anything

these are things i would do if that happened to me at least

heck id take the entire pc apart lol

all it takes it one sneaky drop of water on the back of the motherboard in an unfortunate place for shit to hit the fan

https://tenor.com/view/pc-fire-gif-18709628

[proud trellis]

if it’s the psu I do have a spair one lol but still

I’m gonna go ask for a screwdriver now lol

[modern gull]

Gotta unplugg the psu

like from the wall

[supple bane]

well yeah

duh

[modern gull]

oh you ment the other components

i have my slow moments lol

[proud trellis]

can I not just leave it off for like an hour

[supple bane]

Man like I said if you're willing to take the risk go for it

[pulsar rover]

anyone know how to fix the stuck on itializing glitch for the BF3 battlelog? I've tried:
repairing the game, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing my origin cache, updating my graphics card, manually installing punkbuster, launching on a different browser (edge, firefox, chrome), running the game as administrator, removing the "TM" from the names of the game files, reinstalling directX, reinstalling microsoft visual C++

my specs are: intel core I7,-8750H, Nvidia 1060 8gb, 16 gb DDR4 SDRAM, 6 processors.

[solar kestrel]

for me the only probem was msi afterburner

i did all that but then i said fuck it an uninstalled msi afterburner and the other application that comes with msi afterburner

[pulsar rover]

rivatuner? @solar kestrel

[solar kestrel]

ya

[pulsar rover]

ok

let me try that

[solar kestrel]

idk give it a try

tell me how it goes

[pulsar rover]

ok

i uninstalled those @solar kestrel should i also not run fraps when i play BF3

[solar kestrel]

idk what fraps is lol

just give it a go and see what heppens

[pulsar rover]

ok

[pulsar rover]

fraps is an FPS counter and a recording software as well (i dont record gameplay)

[solar kestrel]

oh ok

it may or may not effect it

[pulsar rover]

i think it gave me issues with BF4

it got detectde by punkbuster once

[prime jasper]

you can see fps counter with ingame commandline, perfoverlay.drawfps true

dont know which key opens your command line

[pulsar rover]

the `

[prime jasper]

just look ot up in your settings

yeah

just type perfoverlay.drawfps true

[pulsar rover]

i found out nvidia has one

[prime jasper]

oh ok

i use it in every bf game like this

[pulsar rover]

yeah my BF3 is still causing issues

[prime jasper]

well, i never played bf3

im soryy

[pulsar rover]

eh

[prime jasper]

idk

[pulsar rover]

and my BF1 and BF4 crashes on startup

what a damn mess

[prime jasper]

Which graphics card do you have?

[pulsar rover]

nvidia 1060 8gb

[prime jasper]

did you update graphics driver?

[pulsar rover]

yup

[prime jasper]

try to downgrade

[pulsar rover]

hmm

[prime jasper]

try to install the bfv game ready driver 416.bla bla

i have them too

[pulsar rover]

BFV runs fine

[prime jasper]

yeah but for me they work the best xD

try to go to origin and repair those games

[pulsar rover]

yeah ive tried that

[prime jasper]

luckily ive never updatet to windows 10😂 still have 8.1 xD

[pulsar rover]

oh

[prime jasper]

xDD

[pulsar rover]

im on 10

lol

[prime jasper]

10 should be fine, the 2004 and 2009 version seem to be good for gaming

[pulsar rover]

idk how dice makes their games so inconsistent

[prime jasper]

but i dont like spying

[pulsar rover]

like one day the game runs, the next i get this and it crashes immediatley

[prime jasper]

yeah they aarent, its hard to make it consistent for many processors and graphics cards

[pulsar rover]

yeah'

[prime jasper]

yeah i feel you men

[pulsar rover]

that really frustrates me

[prime jasper]

who wouldnt be

do you get an error when trying to launch bf1 or bf4?

[pulsar rover]

nope

[prime jasper]

Thats weird

[pulsar rover]

it crashes, then origin pops up

ok so i can launch BF4 on battlelog, so its not a chrome problem

[prime jasper]

Yeah battlelog us fine

i use it too

[pulsar rover]

if only dice made a main menu for BF3 so you could use either

[prime jasper]

maybe try to go to bf1 install folder, and make bf1 run as admin

[pulsar rover]

yeah, i try that and the problem gets worse

for BF4 as well

[prime jasper]

i cant even connect bfv with the others xD im truning game off every time xD

[prime jasper]

oof

try to disable origin in game maybe

from origin settings

idk

just try random things

[pulsar rover]

I’ve been looking on forums about how to fix these things ever since July

What a pain

[prime jasper]

I feel so sorry for you men. Im playing on a kinda trash laptop 720p and fxaa and for me its running perfectly fine😂

why isnt it on you system

whats going on xD

[pulsar rover]

idk

[prime jasper]

do you have overclocked cpu or gpu?

[pulsar rover]

i overclocked my GPU but a tiny bit, i unparked my processors

[prime jasper]

Try to sfc /scannow in cmd. I dont know what the exact command is valled, something like this

[pulsar rover]

ik what your talking about

[prime jasper]

Try to turn both off. Just to test.

Bf dont like those tweaks

especially bf4

i had my processor unparked and bf4 had weird stutters

[pulsar rover]

hmm

i unparked my processors for BFV XDDDDDDD

[prime jasper]

Yeah i feel you, my processor is also to weak for this game

sadly

lol

[pulsar rover]

i have 6 processors

[prime jasper]

tho it should be enough to go to taskmanager, details, rightclick on bfv and whatever, and set priority to high

[prime jasper]

jesus christ, i have 2 cores😂

[pulsar rover]

for some reason, i cant reach 120 FPS on BF4, when i could easily hit 240

[prime jasper]

yeah for me its 30fps for life😂

but i did play on console before

[pulsar rover]

oh nice

[prime jasper]

so that isnt a problem

xdd

[pulsar rover]

i might connect my PS4 to my monitor

i have an extra HDMI port so it shouldnt be terrible

then i can play BF1 and BF4 on ps4

[prime jasper]

dude i use vga to connect a monitor to my laptop lol

[pulsar rover]

i use HDMI to connect it to my laptop LOLOLOL

[prime jasper]

better than nothing

[prime jasper]

xD

[pulsar rover]

i have BF1 and BF4 on ps4, but i wanna sell it

[prime jasper]

then

sell it

on ebay

xd

[open crag]

U wanna play bf5

[prime jasper]

theres for sure someone whos gonna be really happy about it

[prime jasper]

dont have it installed. But you can type that in #lfg-pc or whatever platform you want to play

[open crag]

Thanks

some guys internet speed in another discord

[tender horizon]

romania has the 2nd fastest internet speeds in europe

because of fiber optics

that speed is normal for someone in the cities of romania

[supple bane]

yeah i mean, in a lot of places gigabit is pretty common

[storm osprey]

i think major cities in usa have it

[placid fog]

i have a problem with BF5 that my monitor turns in a slightly gray mode so the colors just dont look as good in the game...
I only have that issue with BF every other game is fine, anyone who can help ?

[opaque saddle]

Update your GPU driver. Was having exactly the same issues where I cannot identify red or blue

[placid fog]

when i open the game in window mode its normal but as soon as its in full screen my monitor just truns gray with very weak colors

ill try

[molten coral]

Disable HDR

[placid fog]

Thank you, HDR was the issue ^^

[molten coral]

Yeah, I had the same a while ago.

[paper gale]

I have a question, is the site for bf1 custom emblems just not working for me or is it broken completely?

[molten coral]

Battlelog?

[paper gale]

that companion thing

i try to input code for emblem, but it says:ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE

did i break something?

[molten coral]

No clue

[paper gale]

well crap

[molten coral]

I thought they killed that app

tbh

[paper gale]

how is the way of getting a custom emblem then?

[molten coral]

battlelog

[paper gale]

does it work for bf1?

[molten coral]

Login with your origin account and go to your profile and than your clan

iirc they are universal

[paper gale]

im logged in now

where do i go from now?

[prime jasper]

https://emblemsbf.com/

Check this website out, there is going to be instructions for you to follow. You can head to the emblem editor in your profile and go on from there using this website.

Depending on what browser you use and system, windows/mac it should give you some commands to follow.

[paper gale]

i dont get it, you mean on emblemsbf or on battlelog ?

[prime jasper]

I'll show you in a moment. Give me one second

Ok, to start off. In the battlelog website, click on soldier.

Over to your portfolio, click on customize emblem.

It will make a pop up saying opening web companion, just exit out of that.

From here you should see about 8 slots for you to make emblems

[paper gale]

click on soldier?

you mean the tab in the settings or?

[prime jasper]

This area right here is where you are going to be pasting or creating your own emblems.

Yes, It'll be in a drop down menu once you click over it.

[paper gale]

is that in an app or website?

because mine surely doesnt look like that

[prime jasper]

It's the website

https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/

[paper gale]

do i need to own Bf4 for this?

[prime jasper]

Not entirely, but it helps allow you to create emblems a lot easier than the app.

[paper gale]

it doesnt show the soldier tab for sure

[prime jasper]

I believe you should be fine without it. Just as long as you can get there. Are you logged in yet?

[paper gale]

Yep

im on the site logged in with my Ea account

[prime jasper]

Okay, lets try the other website. I usually go to the BF4 one, but the process should be the same in the BF1 version

companion.battlefield.com/companion/login

[paper gale]

now to emblems and click the big +?

[prime jasper]

Yup, head into a new emblem from there.

[paper gale]

i want to import a custom emblem, does that work?

[prime jasper]

Now on the BF emblems website, you can choose just about any emblem

However

there are few emblems where the code does not work

Meaning you will have to find a different or similar one

[paper gale]

well

now off to find some emblem code?

it seems like none of them seem to care to work

i tried 5

[prime jasper]

If it helps when you are choosing an emblem, look for one that does not have a golden P symbol

[paper gale]

0 work

a what symbol?

[prime jasper]

It will the Premium Symbol for BF4

[paper gale]

and i need to have bf4 premium for it?

[prime jasper]

These indicate emblem shapes that you may not have,

Yes, only for the ones that you see have the symbol

[paper gale]

all of them have that

every single one

even if i disable the checkmark with the premium it shows some

but they appear to be premium too

[prime jasper]

Yeah, there is going to be a select amount of emblems, though there is a few nice ones. I try to go for the simple emblems as they will more than likely have pieces that I own

[paper gale]

incredible, i got one to work

so, for the other ones, bf4 premium is required?

[prime jasper]

Awesome. Yeah overall you want to just find some that don't have the symbol and are easy to make. Sometimes what you can do if you don't have a piece and you find one similar, you can edit it to your own liking, and Yes BF4 Premium will be required for the emblems with a symbol.

You unlock those with Premium Battlepacks in BF4

[paper gale]

are those battlepacks obtainable via real money only or also by playing a lot?

[prime jasper]

Ah, I wouldn't know too much about that one. I mean you can pay for them using real money, but you are better off getting premium. I believe the Premium items are only through buying Premium, so if you bought battlepacks you would only get non premium items at most.

[paper gale]

i see

well then i might buy it someday

thanks a lot for the help

[prime jasper]

@paper gale For Sure! Lots of cool weapons to try out, no problem Bud.

[opaque saddle]

@molten coral Funny enough all of my settings have been reset since I reinstalled my GPU and GeForce exp

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/ps5-die-shots-reveal-missing-zen-2-rdna-2-features/

"Though we're still looking at advanced Zen2 branch prediction and larger branch target buffers, among other things, it seems there are some parts Sony and AMD have left out. These include cut down FP pipes—from 256-bit down to 128-bit—as well as a lack of Infinity Cache, and potentially the presence of an older render backend design. Further to this, it would seem the system's graphics processing chip's WPGs have been arranged as per the first-generation RDNA architecture."

[turbid verge]

in other words they cut some stuff that affects almost nothing to save some money

[wet notch]

Is there an actual use for 3d headphones?

[digital hill]

Kinda

Allows you to pin point sounds

[wet notch]

my headset/headphones does have surround sound capabilities, but i never felt it added much

because if i turn it off it doesnt change all that much and actually sounds better with it turned off

unless there is a video or sound specifically aimed at surround stuff, in which case it rocks

[supple bane]

https://youtu.be/c5PnP5bKz6k

It amazes me how he says stuff like "you can" or "you should" in videos like this

He is talking like its a tutorial basically. Like does he honestly think anyone in his audience will be wanting to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a high speed server

And if someone did want to in his audience, does he really think they would watch his video for advice ?

[storm osprey]

"3d", "5.1", "7.1", etc are all fake

like 1% of headphones actually have more than 1 speaker per ear, thats why anything that claims those "specs" will clarify virtual

which basically means they are likely doing some crossfade bs to mimic surround sound

i buy non gaming headphones, that definitely dont state any sort of surround sound, but ive tried a ton of headsets and headphones, and the headphones i use now by far give the best audio direction ive heard

[turbid verge]

aren't they digital surround

which is basically yeh fake surround or a simulated surround through a software

[solar kestrel]

https://www.proaudiostar.com/beyerdynamic-dt-990-pro.html?utm_source=Google_Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1KiBBhCcARIsAPWqoSq6Tb3ad8ctxhNoJgq_AOJaAP1bOqVLKQvUMImCKucyWIfnP4wXz24aAs7DEALw_wcB

wish the link was shorter

anyway these are some rly popular headphones among streamers and what not because they have very nice sound depth and shit

thinkin bout gettin em for ma birth day

[weak girder]

sure

[quick locust]

Spyder it would be great if you don't mess up your dependencies and modules

[molten coral]

Great headphone I’ve been using it for a good while now @solar kestrel

[slate rivet]

they look comfy

[weak girder]

they are

[solar kestrel]

Assuming i did get the headphones i would need to get a stand alone mic

Im thinking of the blue yeti snowball thing

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Snowball-Condenser-Microphone-Cardioid/dp/B014PYGTUQ/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Blue+yeti+snowball&qid=1613479373&sr=8-2

[weak girder]

get a headphone with a mic then

it would save you money

since you want the 3050 right?

[solar kestrel]

well this is more of a christmas idea for next year

just got bored and started lookin up shit

[proud trellis]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/771378446319878156/811217250459189268/VID_22520711_223807_298.mp4

[storm osprey]

@solar kestrel those are very popular as well as the general beyer dt lineup, just be careful of which ones you get if sibilant headphones give you headaches (like they do for me)

[solar kestrel]

OK

[storm osprey]

and yea, youll need a standalone mic, technically speaking you can get a headphone and mic for cheaper than a headset, or you cant

just saying theres a lot of variables at play. personally i suggest getting a headphone and separate mic

the mic i would get would likely be something like the fifine k669

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5_qOmJNTpQ

[supple bane]

Ahem. Yes

Such a good mic

[storm osprey]

if convenience is more of a concern get something like a modmic

no it doesnt sound as good as a standalone mic, and it is a tad bit pricey, but its the ultimate in convenience

[proud trellis]

i use that mic lol

[supple bane]

I've recommended that mic to like 5-10 people now and no one has ever said anything bad about it

[storm osprey]

ive been shilling it for a while too, even though ive never even physically seen or heard one

[supple bane]

Infact people I've told to get it have gone on to tell others

Id give it a 9/10

[storm osprey]

it just seems like the product to cover 99% of peoples needs

[supple bane]

Its constructed great, sounds great, easy to use, only reason its not a 10 is it struggles with distance

Slightly too close and you'll deafen people slightly too far and your quiet

[storm osprey]

id say thats a pro in our cases, considering how many people have stupid loud keyboards

[supple bane]

The fact its entirely metal including the mesh blows my mind for 20 bucks

[quick locust]

2167 updates today lol

[storm osprey]

is it 20 bucks there?

the lowest i ever saw it was 25 bucks, but its 35 now

[supple bane]

Idk how much it is here

Probably 30 pounds

I just heard some muricans say 20 bucks so I went with that

[tender horizon]

is 12 bit better than 8 bit on xbox one

people are saying all sorts of things on the internet

this is per pixel btw

[worn prawn]

Do you guys think the 3080 laptops are worth the price or should I shell out even more money for an eGPU

feel really conflicted because in terms of performance a laptop 3080 is good enough but I don't want shitty value

[storm osprey]

youre asking someone that vehemently hates gaming laptops

hell splitting money between a decent chromebook and a gaming desktop would probably get better performance than a gaming laptop

[digital hill]

Problem with gaming laptops today

Is there's gonna be 3080's out performed by 3070s

[proud trellis]

i wish gaming laptops werent a thing ngl

they just seem like a trap in my eyes

[solar kestrel]

^^

not only that but laptops have ass cooling most of the time

and you might say convienvence when if you plan on gaming you still have to find a table near a outlet that you can put a mouse/ keyboard on to get nice quality gaming

[proud trellis]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNlKD5c_rzo

[molten coral]

accurate

[storm osprey]

at least it seems like nvidia is getting stock of other cards out

[modern gull]

lol

took me 1 month to get 3070

not too bad

[storm osprey]

january steam survey doesnt have any of AMDs 6000 series gpus at all

3090 is represented

[modern gull]

i originaly ordered 3080 but changed it, i'd probably wouldnt have it now even lol

[storm osprey]

now that i think about it, i dont know a single person that has a 6000 series gpu

i know a few people that have 3000 series cards though

[modern gull]

ah i see

btw where would i find the steam survey again? forgot lol

[storm osprey]

just type steam hardware survery

https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

[modern gull]

from the steam app i mean

[storm osprey]

oh idk about that

[modern gull]

oh

[storm osprey]

but yea, 3080, 3090 and 3060ti are on that chart

yet not a single amd gpu, but people keep talking shit about nvidia xD

[modern gull]

lol

[molten coral]

pretty interesting to see that not even 1% is using a 2080ti or a 2080 super.

1060 basically dominating on steam

[proud trellis]

i barley hear convos about the 2080s

[magic gust]

Whats the best gpu i can get for the best price atm because the market is pretty messed up right now

[molten coral]

I'm gonna be real with you, there isn't a single GPU that is worth the price at the moment.

They are all super overpriced

[supple bane]

Isuni does

As before mentioned im the king of remembering anyones specs

If I've spoke to you about computers I probably know your specs

[modern gull]

Do you know my specs?

[supple bane]

And 3600 (?)

[modern gull]

i9 9900kf

[supple bane]

Fuck

[modern gull]

lul

[supple bane]

Maybe I lost my touch

[proud trellis]

i havent heard isuni speak in here for ages

[modern gull]

Dont think have told you all my specs perhaps

[supple bane]

You've certainly never mentioned that tho as just the other day I was thinking about how I never hear people with 9900kf's

[modern gull]

all my specs https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/39878140

[solar kestrel]

i just got called broke in ever language

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

Yanno, my cpu scores 80% on userbenchmark, ill take that

For like what, 1/5th the price or something of the 9900kf

[modern gull]

my i7 8700k had about 93-95% i think

unsure. let me check old benchmarks

[molten coral]

8700k is still pretty good

[supple bane]

I don't have a link, but my cpu scores 80% and gpu scores 105%

[modern gull]

Ya its pretty decent. Basicaly around the same as i9 9900kf single core performance just 2 less cores

that is 4.7 all cores

[molten coral]

Kinda thinking about upgrading to a 5900x

but prices are just insane at the moment

5900x is going for 1000 euro at the moment

[modern gull]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

[latent light]

Zen3+ is coming this year

[modern gull]

here it costs around 600 eur

But is the single core performance good on it?

[supple bane]

It would be better than a 9900kf

[modern gull]

[molten coral]

I bought the 8700k in 2017 so I got it now for almost 4 years.

[magic gust]

thats what i was thinking

[supple bane]

I kid lol, I'm the last person to roast someone on scp

When I'm running a cpu that struggles to reach 4ghz whilst red lining on an overclock

[modern gull]

Nice and yet its still good cpu to this day

Only reason i upgraded from the i7 to i9 was i suspect future games would need alot of cpu including next battlefield

Also this should last me several years

[supple bane]

The thing i hate about cpu upgrades is 99% of games don't care about cpu what so ever, fucking i3 and your good to go. But there are those few games like bf that just rip any poor xpu that isn't 12 threads 4ghz +

[modern gull]

sad thing is idk if i will even like the next game

[modern gull]

Yas

bf6 need 24 core 48 tread ez

we'll see

[quick locust]

considering it has to work on consoles no

[supple bane]

If you're not running thread ripper just get on your bike and go

[modern gull]

The game would probably be scaled down for console anyways

[modern gull]

lol

[supple bane]

I'm currently hoping it will be gpu intensive enough for me to not be bottlenecked by my cpu

[modern gull]

What cpu you got?

[supple bane]

2600

[modern gull]

ah i7 8700k right?

oh

[supple bane]

Mm

[modern gull]

i7 2600?

[supple bane]

Wut

No

Ryzen 5 2600

[modern gull]

Ah lol

was thinking that cpu stayed strong long

[quick locust]

lul

I've got a friend still on E8600

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

Just play at 8k and you won't be bottlenecked ezpz

[modern gull]

but you still get low fps

[latent light]

i9-10900KS is coming with 5.4 GHz single-core boost and 5.1 all-core

Pointless with Rocket-Lake coming

[supple bane]

Pointless just like the 9900ks

[modern gull]

what does the s stand for?

shit or?

unlocked shit lol

[latent light]

Special

Ig

[modern gull]

ah

[supple bane]

Super dooper overclocking extravaganza

[modern gull]

hah scam

[supple bane]

Its basically a better bin

[modern gull]

oh nice

[supple bane]

9900k with factory overclock

[molten coral]

So special CPU's are hand picked by Intel's workers because they can get a higher clockspeeds?

[supple bane]

Yes

[molten coral]

Or doesn't work it like that

[quick locust]

why is it 1965 usd on intel website rn

[supple bane]

Nope thats how it works

Well it might automated but yeah

[modern gull]

get higher clockspeeds with lower volt i am sure it is

[quick locust]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/i9-processors/i9-9900ks.html

1965

[supple bane]

And you get what? Like 5 fps at most over a 9900k

For 3x the price

Good 1 intel

[quick locust]

Nah original price wasnt thia

[supple bane]

Oh

[quick locust]

this*

[modern gull]

you probably wont get anymore fps if gpu is at 100%

nvm lol

[quick locust]

it launched at 524 usd afaik

huh theres 5600X in stock

[molten coral]

buy and sell it for more like a scalper would do!

[quick locust]

[proud trellis]

if i was older i think i would be a scalper ngl

[supple bane]

I still want to turn a cpu into a keyring at some point too, keep forgetting to buy one

[quick locust]

do with an epyc

big keyring

[supple bane]

I wanted to play around with de-lidding it too before I did that

[molten coral]

I'm waiting for next month to order a GPU

[modern gull]

Which one are you getting?

[molten coral]

probably the gigabyte vision OC

3080

Mainly because it's white and would look good in my build.

But kinda waiting for next month as I'll have to do my taxes.

Like if I get money back or don't have to pay anything I'll be ordering it immediately but if I get screwed over again like the last 2-3 years then nope.

[supple bane]

You should vert it

[molten coral]

vert it?

[supple bane]

Verticle mount

[quick locust]

depends on case

dont choke it

[supple bane]

Nah a bracket

They are like 20 pounds i think

[molten coral]

Nah I don't like that

[supple bane]

Ahhh

Boooorrrrinng

[quick locust]

mine is vertical but not facing side

lul

[molten coral]

and if I would do that I will need to remove some intake fans

so big nope

[quick locust]

cause i have inverted layout

[molten coral]

inverted?

[quick locust]

yes

top of case is rear of mobo

[molten coral]

so like this?

[quick locust]

not upside down but 90 deg

I got an RV02E

[molten coral]

oh like that

[supple bane]

Why tho

[quick locust]

Then you can have solid front panel or ton of drive bays without impact on airflow

[supple bane]

Hmm

[quick locust]

Newer raven cases are just smaller though

https://static.techspot.com/articles-info/351/images/Image_44S-j_1100.webp

When I switch case though idk what I will go for

Not SFF though

[proud trellis]

on BFV im getting some rlly bad screen tearing , is there anything i can do to stop it ?

[supple bane]

You have a g-sync monitor

[proud trellis]

yes

[proud trellis]

what

[digital hill]

I smell bias

And intel is known for hotter cpu temps then amd

[weak girder]

and fast doesn't mean a thing

one company isn't "faster" than the other

you're not directly comparing cpu's here

[digital hill]

and how is amd less efficient then intel?

[turbid verge]

literally amd cpus have less consumption

[digital hill]

isn't intel less efficient due to their hot temps and their very crappy cooler

[turbid verge]

amd cpu rn beat intel in consumption, price/performance and temps

both on desktop and laptop

this is why you shouldnt trust websites and do the search yourself to figure out what you want on your machine

[digital hill]

I wonder if its from userbenchmarks

[weak girder]

yep

[weak girder]

so much people think userbenchmark is legitimate

[digital hill]

I know they aren't

Very bias I heard

[weak girder]

yep they like intel

[latent light]

[ashen ether]

which color setting is best for my eye?
warm or cool?

[loud ruin]

warm

[weak girder]

definitely warm

blue light causes eye strain

[near rune]

No

Blue light affects ur sleep

Eye strain can he caused by looking at a screen for a long time

Cause ur eyes basicly get stuck at that place

You rarely blink

Etc

[modern gull]

Ofc you move your eyes and blink when on pc

[modern gull]

Ya warmer colors and less contrast would make it easier on your eyes

[storm osprey]

i knew this would heppen at some point

@weak girder

[weak girder]

[proud trellis]

one of my friends has a R3 3200G and a 1650 , do you think he will be able to run BFV ?

im not sure if his cpu would be able to handle it

[supple bane]

1080p low

[latent light]

Run it yes, but it won't be smooth

[supple bane]

its a 4 core so he will be cpu bottlenecked

[weak girder]

no, medium

1080p

with 60 fps

and drops

[proud trellis]

im watching a vid and some guy is getting 50fps on ultra with the specs

[latent light]

Graphics settings don't matter in BFV when your CPU don't have enough cores or threads

[weak girder]

usually youtubers get a lot more fps than you'd usually have

idk how

[proud trellis]

oh

[latent light]

I've seen BFV stutter on hexa-core CPUs like i5-8400 or 9400

Game just loves beating down your CPU

BF6 probably gonna be a lot worse for CPU too

Because 128 players

[weak girder]

dat dumdum

[latent light]

Even my 6c/12t CPU is usually near 100% utilization in BFV

[proud trellis]

mine does sometimes now

[weak girder]

huuuuh

[proud trellis]

it usually hangs around 80-90 but does shoot up to 100 at the start lol

[modern gull]

24c 48t ez

[latent light]

8 cores probably gonna be the new minimum for smooth gaming

[proud trellis]

in my future build im 100% getting 8c

maybe a 10c

[modern gull]

especially if using DXR think that uses alot more cpu

[supple bane]

U sure?

[weak girder]

I have a quad and have no problems whatsoever

[supple bane]

Generally something that increases gpu load will decrease cpu load

[weak girder]

ah

[modern gull]

man my new cpu is killing my vrm temps

[latent light]

I'm very picky when it comes to frame times in games

[weak girder]

doesnt even hit 100% in bfv

[supple bane]

Thats actually something I've never looked at

[modern gull]

If it gets too hot your mb will trottle 😛

[supple bane]

I don't know what a "good vrm temperature" would be

Does it follow the same as cpu, anything above 85 is bad?

[modern gull]

i think around 90 is normal for gaming, unsure ngl

80-90 maybe

[fallow garden]

no lol

for cpu 85 max

[supple bane]

We are talking about vrms

[fallow garden]

whats that

vram

[modern gull]

lul

[fallow garden]

lol

[supple bane]

Voltage regulator module

[modern gull]

its what feeds your cpu with voltage

[fallow garden]

noice

[supple bane]

At least I think that's what it stands for

I kinda just guessed

[modern gull]

ya

[fallow garden]

whats ur pc specs @supple bane

[supple bane]

Oh sick lol

[supple bane]

Ryzen 5 2600, rtx 2070

[fallow garden]

wtf

i have same cpu

[modern gull]

hahah

[fallow garden]

but gtx 1060 3gb

[supple bane]

Its a very common cpu

[weak girder]

yeh

[fallow garden]

yessir

good cpu

😃

[weak girder]

err bottleneck?

[supple bane]

I used to have a 1060 3gb too

[supple bane]

Nah

[fallow garden]

gtx 1060 3gb is fine for bf1 on high settings

[supple bane]

In bfv yeah, no other games tho

[latent light]

BF1 was pretty damn well optimized for its nice graphics

BFV on the other hand...

[proud trellis]

BF1 was just mud lmao

[latent light]

Very detailed mud at that

[proud trellis]

BF1 was my fav tho as its probs the one i played the most

well it is the one i played the most

[supple bane]

I believe I'm missing out on like 50 fps in bfv, so a pretty fat bottleneck, but no other game I own is that way

[fallow garden]

yall play bf3?

[latent light]

I played BF4 the most

[modern gull]

5 min ish in bf5 unlocked fps now my vrm is at 80

[latent light]

I had about 800 hours in BF3, nearly 2000 in BF4

[fallow garden]

wiw

o

bf3 amazing as hell but I wish it was fricking more active

also those serve spoofers wtfso annoying

[proud trellis]

i just checked on a stat tracker for BF1 and i only had around 100 hours lmao

but i was lvl 60 somehow in 100 hours

[supple bane]

I'm at like 970 hours now I think in bfv

[proud trellis]

i have 60 something hours on bfv lolll

[weak girder]

I have 130

in bfv

[modern gull]

Think the only battlefield game i had close too 2000 hours is bf2

think i have about 500 hours in bf4

[supple bane]

I wasn't even born then

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

Well I was, barely

Like a couple months

[modern gull]

Micro Granty

Now big Granty 😛

[storm osprey]

what is "smooth"

i still see 4c8t cpus in bfv getting 100+ fps in bfv

[latent light]

Fps don't matter for smoothness, frametimes do

[storm osprey]

fps matters

just like frametimes matter, they both a contributors

[latent light]

Not as important

[storm osprey]

sure, lets say frametime attributes 70% to smoothness while fps is 30%

[latent light]

I'd take consistent 60 fps over inconsistent 144 fps

[storm osprey]

oof

i certainly wouldnt

competitive gaming gets a huge benefit from higher fps

id rather have moments of not smooth gameplay if 95% of the time im getting an edge to win

[latent light]

But not stutter

[storm osprey]

well considering bfv running on a 3300x at low settings 1080ps gets 160 fps avg, and 100fps 1% lows that really isnt a problem unless you are personally emotionally sensitive to something not be your desired level of smoothness

[latent light]

I desire consistency

I would like to have a constant 144 fps with not a single drop to 143 ever

But that's not possible

[storm osprey]

thats absurd to me

and i imagine most would agree as well

i dont think its hard to ask someone to look past small hiccups in frame for better performance 90%+ of the time

(i even picked 90% to be on what i assume is the extremely low end of this scenario)

Doubling frame rates in older games

Some older games even see quadruple the fps

From 30 to 120 lol

[supple bane]

I tested this btw, I couldn't get mine to go above 60

Cpu was drawing 90w during the stress, so nothing compared to a 9900kf

[proud trellis]

ngl the viper mini looks good but my hands are probs way to big

i have massive hands

[storm osprey]

i do not and its a good fit

[modern gull]

Oh lol, during stress tests i think mine draws around 160 at current clock if i remmeber corectly

[supple bane]

As far as i can tell the vrms on my motherboard dont have any heatsinks on either

At least from what I can tell, idk what I'm looking for

Intel 11th gen Rocket-Lake launch on March 15th, meanwhile 12th gen Alder-Lake-S launch in December

[modern gull]

2 generations the same year?

[latent light]

Only 9 months apart, which is a month shorter than the launches between Kaby Lake and Coffee Lake

[modern gull]

Kind of waste lol

might aswell wait for the 12th one if anyone is planing for an upgrade

[prime jasper]

Ik but what's the main problem? Network speed or ram?

[frosty elk]

12kbps network speed is a big issue

[prime jasper]

So the problem is speed?

Jio net sucks

youd have to ask your parents

theyd know more about your internet situation than me

UHD 750 integrated graphics for upcoming 11th gen Intel CPUs is 50% faster than previous gen UHD 630, meanwhile 12th gen will feature 3x more GPU cores, 12th gen integrated graphics expected to be faster than GTX 1060

12th gen launches this year too

[supple bane]

going to be doing a build for my brother soon, budget of 500 pounds, with 25 reserved for a lap desk. doesnt need a gpu as im giving him my 1060, but needs a wireless keyboard and mouse. is there anything i should change on this ? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cc2dwz

[weak girder]

WHAT

faster than a 1060

[weak girder]

nah seems good

[opaque saddle]

Intel UHD 6XX is mainly served as a display card. It is slow and terrible since they haven’t really updated for a couple of years, at least from the HD5XX generations, maybe like 2015?

[lofty light]

I mean they have Intel XE integrated now don't they?

[latent light]

Yeah Xe graphics for desktop CPUs starts with 11th gen which launches in March, UHD 750 performance is a little slower GTX 950

12th gen with 3x more cores for Xe should result in being faster than GTX 1060

[lofty light]

I've still got a 1060 and I thought it was alright

[latent light]

Faster with like a tenth of the power consumption

Zen4 APUs with RDNA3 will decimate Xe tho

Intel Xe drivers are pretty trash in comparison to recent Radeon drivers honestly

[opaque saddle]

I remember the intel HD 4000 is 3 times slower than gts 450, but it is rated the same level of performance

Intel iris plus 655 is twice as fast as intel 630? Can’t remember

[proud trellis]

anyone watch XQC build a new pc yesterday ?

[runic frost]

is it just me that has this problem? when i launch battlefield 5 which i recently bought it launches as a window so i press alt+enter to make it go full screen but it has the bad resolution of a window despite being full screen???

anybody have a fix??

[supple bane]

Go to settings and change the resolution? @runic frost

[runic frost]

i have

i set it to fullscreen

and 100%resoulution

[supple bane]

No

Set it to 1080p

Or 1440p

Or what ever you use

100% resolution scale is still gonna look blurry if it defaulted to 720p or something

[runic frost]

ok

i will try

oh yea that

is the lian li uni fan in therE?

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/nvidia-cmp-mining-cards-rtx-3060-half-hash-rate/

Nvidia is dropping a new driver that is capable of detecting "specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent."

Oof for miners

Possible class action tbh

[storm osprey]

good

[latent light]

RTX 3060 will be worse than the 2060 at mining because of this

[storm osprey]

but better in gaming?

that sounds.. ideal...

[latent light]

They should of done this to the whole series

[storm osprey]

maybe they had to do some checks/tests/etc to be able to do this

or they just thought about it late

"late"

[supple bane]

but surely if its just a driver miners can just... use an old one ?

or not update to that at all

[latent light]

There's no drivers prior to this one

This is the launch driver

No going back

[supple bane]

oh right

yeah

[molten bramble]

Why would it be a class action? They're modifying the software profile to ensure that inventory isn't gobbled up by cryptominers which will artificially increase demand and force price increases or inventory gaps. If anything, it's the most responsible maneuver they could do.

I'd love to see a bunch of idiots attempt to challenge that in court, honestly. Please!

[latent light]

I've seen some crazy shit go down in tech court

[molten coral]

Good, fuck them for buying everything tbh.

[molten bramble]

That's not a historical indicator of causation or outcome.

[molten coral]

Same with the scalpers, companies should just do 1 order each address.

[latent light]

Sucks they couldn't do this to the 3070 and 3080 but Nvidia really wasn't expecting this much demand from miners in the first place

[molten bramble]

Oh, they were expecting it. They just didn't anticipate the COVID-19 ramp-up and market influence.

After the 2018-2020 season of the 20-series sagas, they're very aware of the liabilities and downsides; it's implied in their 2019 SEC 10-K.

[storm osprey]

isnt amd better for mining? why dont they do something similar?

[latent light]

Nvidia knew that Samsung silicon yields were bad

But they didn't really have a choice

TSMC was fully booked

[molten bramble]

Robinhood testifying now in front of Congress on C-SPAN for those that have it.

[latent light]

Samsung 8nm yields are pretty terrible, 67.93%

Where as TSMC 7nm is around 92%

Nvidia could have easily went with TSMC 7nm if there weren't a new generation of consoles

AMD currently has most of 7nm, Apple has most of 5nm

AMD will have 5nm in 2022, Nvidia will use 5nm in 2024 for Hopper

Although Nvidia may already be testing 5nm silicon now

[latent light]

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/nvidia-ethereum-mining-limiter-cannot-be-hacked/

So the RTX 3060 will literally brick itself if you try to hack the software that limits its mining hash rate

[storm osprey]

dope

[turbid verge]

interesting

tecnically not

[quick locust]

scalp to the miners

jk

[turbid verge]

its not because scalpers or miners

[quick locust]

Its the production that is super low, I know

They just make it worse but they aren't the primary reason

[turbid verge]

scalpers arent the issue because most stores have a limit per household

miners can't even get an hand on them because of the stock being very limit aswell

its mostly due to pandemic plus the semi conductor crisis

[latent light]

AMD stock issue is because over 80% of their 7nm chips are going strictly to the new gaming consoles

[quick locust]

Not long to perseverance landing

My country did several of the modules

[latent light]

Nvidia stock is because Samsung has terrible yields

[quick locust]

its not just foundries

[latent light]

Pandemic too

[quick locust]

Also rdna2 stock is uhj

even less than ampere

[turbid verge]

amd stock has a better flow then nvidia rn

[quick locust]

not their gpus

[latent light]

hey can anyone help me? i have been putting up some new rams 3600mhz and went to bios to enable the xmp profile. btw, My mobo is gigabyte b450m s2h with 2 ram slot. after clicking save and exit, my pc starting to restart 3-4 times before windows boots up which is weird. i checked on task manager but still shows 2666 mhz frequency used.

sorry for the bad english hope you guys understand it ❤️

hmm Im not sure, try going to bios and overclocking your ram to 3600mhz again

[hollow fulcrum]

okay

i have been doing it 2 times now but still the same

[weak girder]

its wierd, the b450m accepts 3600 mhz ram

[hollow fulcrum]

yeah right?

or psu?

[weak girder]

maybe but why would your ram still stay at 2666

[hollow fulcrum]

not sure

[weak girder]

actually I think the b450m s2h doesn't support 3600mh

[hollow fulcrum]

i do think my psu is enough 600w

[weak girder]

from what I read, 3200mhz is the max

[weak girder]

well, what are the rest of your specs
