[digital hill]

Yeah that's true

[weak girder]

personnal knowledge

[digital hill]

Scalpers are pos

[modern gull]

Nice

[solar kestrel]

next answer please

[pallid steppe]

do u need to see the other tabs

[weak girder]

youtube

[modern gull]

Nah not really i guess, nice cpu ngl

[opaque saddle]

here is my laptop specs

[modern gull]

what gpu you got?

[pallid steppe]

was wondering how it would run bfv

[digital hill]

Some bad igpu

[weak girder]

intel uhd 630

[opaque saddle]

is that a mac tho?

or normal windows pc

[modern gull]

I meant apex sorry 😛 i see the big igpu text

[digital hill]

gaming on a mac is worse then my windows laptop

at least my windows laptop wouldn't overheat in cuphead on an i3

[weak girder]

oh I thought you were talking to derek

[modern gull]

ah ya fair enough i should have pressed reply

[digital hill]

and the i3 is 3 generations behind for my windows laptop

[opaque saddle]

dont worry about laptop specs unless you are gaming on laptop

[digital hill]

True

[pallid steppe]

i am gaming on a laptop

[digital hill]

Though macbook have bad cpu coolers

[opaque saddle]

what is your computer model

[solar kestrel]

[modern gull]

you dont have dedicated gpu?

[pallid steppe]

uh i thought i did

[solar kestrel]

rip baby

[modern gull]

click the button to change

[digital hill]

oof

[opaque saddle]

is that a macbook or windows?

[weak girder]

[modern gull]

[weak girder]

nice

[digital hill]

At least buy a 1030

[pallid steppe]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/593472862606589986/814338053165940756/unknown.png

[digital hill]

or something

[weak girder]

uhh

[solar kestrel]

Klikard just gotta show his 3070 every chance he gets

[digital hill]

oh you got a nice 2060

[opaque saddle]

then it runs well

no issue at all

[modern gull]

ngl pretty poggers

[digital hill]

A 1030 is better then intel uhd gpu

[modern gull]

perhapos

[pallid steppe]

[digital hill]

but actually a used rx 570 is better value

[solar kestrel]

a 2060

[weak girder]

a 2060 is even better

[solar kestrel]

gawd dam

[opaque saddle]

lol i think my gpu is slower than 1030

[weak girder]

[digital hill]

Oof

[opaque saddle]

on laptop tho

[digital hill]

I have gpu worse then intel igpu's

[solar kestrel]

impossible

[weak girder]

the macbook?

[solar kestrel]

[digital hill]

hd 5450 512mb of vram

[modern gull]

@pallid steppe You wouldnt have any issues running bf5

[pallid steppe]

so would this run bfv on max graphics at 60fps?

[digital hill]

and hd 6450 1gb gddr3

[solar kestrel]

ewasy

EASY

[weak girder]

add an extra 40 fps

[solar kestrel]

mate your gpu is cracked

[pallid steppe]

insane

[modern gull]

Probably not with raytracing tho. then you might low fps.

[pallid steppe]

it's a ge75 raider

[opaque saddle]

it says my Radeon Pro 555x is faster than 1030

[weak girder]

the rtx 2060 can do bfv rtx high 55 fps

[modern gull]

seams realistic

[modern gull]

damn not bad that is pretty decent

[weak girder]

Id imagine the 555x would be like a 1050 if the rx 550 is like a 750 ti and the rx 560 is like a 1050 ti

[modern gull]

btw it depends on map tho also, like hamada wont have much reflective surfaces.

[pallid steppe]

would it look different than my xbox1 running it atm?

[opaque saddle]

because both of my CPU and GPU runs at 100C....

so i think it will perform much slower than that

[solar kestrel]

look better

run hell of a lot better

look up rtx 2060 on new egg or somethin

[weak girder]

xbone is shit m8

much better graphics

[opaque saddle]

coz i had a really really hot bedroom with no aircon running at that time. i was at my parents place and where the tropics is

[solar kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM_Od-uJ4P0

[opaque saddle]

like 32C without aircon on at night time

[weak girder]

Id expect the laptop version to perform more like a desktop 1660 s

[solar kestrel]

ohh

he makes a point

[pallid steppe]

if it helps

my xbox is xbox1x

[solar kestrel]

doesnt matter

[weak girder]

its better than xbone x

[solar kestrel]

this is significantaly better

better then the series x

well in most games

[weak girder]

no

[modern gull]

Should test rotterdam tho or for worst case scenario underground, if its about raytracing performance.

[solar kestrel]

medium to low

maby

[weak girder]

series x is like a 2070

[solar kestrel]

oh

well then disregarde my shit statement

[opaque saddle]

I have a PS4 slim. But I can’t be bothered to play FPS games on it

[weak girder]

xbone 1 x has medium / low settings in 1440p/4k at 45-60 fps

[solar kestrel]

controller makes me cringe

i used to be cracked now i hate it

[weak girder]

which I think is a bit stupid

better have 1080p high / ultra at steady 60

[pallid steppe]

what would the graphics be like on 4k?

[solar kestrel]

i have a lowest settings resolution scale at 53 consisten 50

[weak girder]

for the 2060?

[solar kestrel]

sexy

graphics would look sexy

[weak girder]

dont use 4k with a 2060

theres no point

[solar kestrel]

dont know how many fps though

[weak girder]

but it could do high at 60 fps

or medium

steady

but its better to use the 2060 at 1440p 60 fps or 1080p hogh refresh rate

[pallid steppe]

just have a big 4k tv and am using xbox 1 x with it atm

[latent light]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/alder-lake-big-cores-surface-disappointing-3-ghz-boost-clock

The processor under test was operating from a motherboard or test platform based on the upcoming LGA1700 socket. Alder Lake-S is pegged to support both DDR4 and DDR5 memory.

[modern gull]

interesting

[weak girder]

lmao

[latent light]

Boost clock is definitely gonna be higher, as this is an engineering sample

[modern gull]

@solar kestrel btw you dont need raytracing tho, its abit over rated i'd say. SSR does a pretty decent job imo.

[solar kestrel]

I feel like bfv is a bit smoother

not much just a bit

[modern gull]

Smother how you mean?

i mean in what way

[solar kestrel]

FPS

think im getting like 5 more

not even

could also be the map

[modern gull]

if you testing raytracing go rotterdam or something

[solar kestrel]

tf

got a GT 640 my guy

[weak girder]

hahahahaha

[modern gull]

wait didnt you have 2060?

[solar kestrel]

no lo

[weak girder]

no apex has

[solar kestrel]

i wish

[modern gull]

A case of mistaken identity

[weak girder]

btw isnt the xbone x equivalent to gtx 1060

[modern gull]

sorry man havent slept to well so my brain bit broken lul

[modern gull]

Isnt that the newest console?

[weak girder]

no Im talking about the xbox one x

[modern gull]

oh older ones

[weak girder]

the series x is equivalent to a 2070

[modern gull]

interesting

[weak girder]

and the xbox one s is equivalent to a gtx 750

[modern gull]

wot really?

[weak girder]

yes

[modern gull]

oh well that and ps4 is pretty old aint them?

[weak girder]

it runs bfv at low 900p with even less render distance than pc

[weak girder]

ps4 is slightly better

equivalent to a 750 ti I think

[modern gull]

Interesting

But at what fps tho? probabl 30. isnt that what games usually end at the end

for consoles

[weak girder]

both consoles run nost fps games at 45-60 fps

and most singleplayer games at 30 fps

with sometimes drops to 28

[modern gull]

i see

[weak girder]

but you dont really mind with a controller

[modern gull]

very true. 30 fps with controller is completly fine

[weak girder]

I cant play 30 fps with a mouse and keyboard

[modern gull]

ikr

[weak girder]

I need minimum 35- 40 fps on singleplauer games

[fringe lodge]

This list was $940 pre-COVID https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QFs4FG

[weak girder]

at multiplayers at more than 60

[fringe lodge]

It’s now nearly $1500

[weak girder]

oof

[fringe lodge]

I don’t know whether I should buy a prebuilt or wait for the market to settle down

[weak girder]

wait for the market to settle down

a prebuilt is gonna cost more for worse specs

and they have tons of problems

[modern gull]

I always play at my monitor refresh rate. was 60 now 75.

[weak girder]

yeah ofc high fps is ideal

[modern gull]

mhm sometimes gotta play with lower graphics

[weak girder]

but Im talking about the minimum frmaerate when I think its playable

[modern gull]

60 fps is my minimum lul

[weak girder]

I prefer singeplayers with higher graphics and 40 to 50 fps

multiplayers have to be at 144 for me lul

but I can get by with 75 to 144

[modern gull]

ya singleplayer is more fine but. say before upgrade i played rdr at 30 fps on max graphics since i use controller

[modern gull]

i can never buy 144hz monitor

ngl i wanted a 60hz one but got a 75 one 😛

man the image motion on 144 is pretty sweet hehe

[weak girder]

actually when you experience a game at 144 you can never go back to 60 but one game can have 144 and the other 60 and I dont mind

[modern gull]

Exactly what i am thinking. Imagine how much cpu/gpu power you will need

ngl i tried 60 fps on after 75 its not too bad actually after a while.

its more noticable when you change from 75 to 60 in an instant ingame tho

[weak girder]

75 is still good even after experiencing 144

[modern gull]

i suppose

last time i tried to switch instantly was in bf3 and it looked horrible

can play at 60 fps no problem. the problem is that if it goes instantly from 75 to 60 i'd say

[weak girder]

yup

however minecraft is the worst, once you experience 144 you cant go lower

but the game isnt demanding so im fine

[modern gull]

ah ya i remmeber you talking about this

whats soo different with minecraft tho

[weak girder]

I think its the lack of motion blur

all games have a bit of motion blur

[modern gull]

Ya. was about to say motion blur helps if you have lower framerates

makes it abit more smooth

[weak girder]

thats what console use

but they use a ton of it

[lofty light]

Motion blur is on PC a lot too

Try playing ARK on default settings

[modern gull]

Depends on monitor

[weak girder]

minecraft has no motion blur whatsoever I think

[lofty light]

Na I'm taking about games with motion blur

[modern gull]

After my monitor upgrade i had to turn of motion blur in all games since it has some ghosting

[weak girder]

whats wrong with it

[pallid steppe]

yeah that'swhy i bought a laptop. prices were / (are?) insane to try and build a custom computer

[weak girder]

[lofty light]

You turn 2mm to the side and the whole screen swims

[fringe lodge]

Yea I’m not getting a gaming laptop firenation symbol

[pallid steppe]

y

[weak girder]

laptops are tons more expensive and have shit cooling

[pallid steppe]

got mine for like 1.2k

[fringe lodge]

Yea that’s a yikes from me chief

[modern gull]

could have gotten a pretty nice desktop for that price

[weak girder]

^

[pallid steppe]

no I couldn't have

see: covid

[fringe lodge]

You could’ve gotten a prebuilt for less

[modern gull]

Oh ya fair enough

[weak girder]

I bet about 1 year ago you couldve gotten a desktop with a 2070

[fringe lodge]

And prob more specs

[weak girder]

no

[fringe lodge]

That’s why i said prob, cos I don’t know shit about PCs lmao

[weak girder]

prebuilts cheap out on other parts such as the motherboard, cooling and ram

[fringe lodge]

Except 2x 8gb is better than 16gb ram

I’m at least right there?

[weak girder]

yeah if you mean 1x16

[fringe lodge]

Yea

[pallid steppe]

Ngl I don't really need anything more powerful than what i have atm

[weak girder]

yes

[fringe lodge]

I’m planning on running Space Enginners

Which is basically Minecraft With ALOT of extra steps

[modern gull]

damn. ya alot of shops boost their prices, is complete bs ngl

[fringe lodge]

KSP + Minecraft = SE

[pallid steppe]

it's also really really aids to build a computer without a lot of knowledge

literally everyone says to get another thing

or advise on something that'ts actually better than what the last guy said

but soem aren't compatible and don't fit

and just

fuck that lmfao

[modern gull]

Just make sure you get correct juicers

[weak girder]

no it doesnt

you get wrong parts

lmao

[pallid steppe]

no what doesn't

ah

[modern gull]

Building a pc isnt that hard tho. might be abit scary at first. Could easily do it if you follow a guide or something

[pallid steppe]

during covid there's like 0 avaliable components

[weak girder]

building a computer without knowledge just makes you pick up parts that dont go very well together

[fringe lodge]

or get someone to help you

Shit

[weak girder]

building it yes but picking parts no

[pallid steppe]

.

[fringe lodge]

Ima go do homework

[modern gull]

Ya thats when it gets abit technical i suppose

[weak girder]

if you know what youre doing you dont need peoeple to tell you what to get lul

[pallid steppe]

i mean that's a given?

[weak girder]

most research about pc's can be done on youtube

I learnt a hell of a lot there in a few months

[pallid steppe]

yeah i really didn't want to invest a couple months

into getting a comp

[modern gull]

probably not gonna need that much effort

[weak girder]

you need patience 2 months isnt a lot

[weak girder]

1 month of research I think can be enough to build a pc

[pallid steppe]

yeah it is when you've been using a horrible ass macbook that runs at 20fps min graphics while recording for 4 years in a row

[modern gull]

hmm

Probably got PHD in computers after that imo

But you mean from 0 knowledge and finding parts/building right?

[weak girder]

yes

[modern gull]

Might be a realistic time tho, but it could be done much faster first time.

[weak girder]

about 4 years ago I used to think as long as a computer had windows you could play any game

and they would all run the same

[modern gull]

oh damn, well gotta learn somehow 😛

[weak girder]

linus tech tips suprisingly

it used to be really good

I learned a whole lot

[modern gull]

nice

[digital hill]

Learned chinese steam is gonna be different no user created content

[weak girder]

does that mean no indie games?

[digital hill]

Like there's a store

but no user content

no fourms

no steam chat

bare bone store and library which indie games are allowed

[pastel lily]

HP bought HyperX

[supple bane]

they did ? sigh

i liked Kingston, they made gud stuf

hyper x is probably gonna suck now. since when has HP made peripherals ?

[proud trellis]

swear down HP only make little prebuilts

[supple bane]

OH WAIT, they do make peripherals

omen is HP's gaming brand

idk if omen stuff is anygood tho, it seems to fly under the radar most the time

[proud trellis]

this seems to be broken for me. everytime i go to press OPEN nothing happens....

[distant sage]

is there any api for bf5 stats I cant find any 😦

[chrome skiff]

we have a stats channel in the discord. go to the channel read the pins or how other have done it. should get you what you need

[distant sage]

there is nothing, just the bot and there is not said where its taking the stats from

[supple bane]

its taking the stats from trackernetwork

[distant sage]

but they dont have public api so its scraping it?

[supple bane]

what do you need an API for ?

[distant sage]

to implement the stats into my bot and many more features not just stats

[supple bane]

i dont understand why THEY would have an api either

[distant sage]

they as trn?

[supple bane]

ye

[distant sage]

but how do they get the data then?

[supple bane]

from their own database

[distant sage]

yes but they need to gather the data somewhere

they dont just appear in the database

[supple bane]

its probably pretty basic code, taking a user input (your name) entering that name into their list and having it return all the values as variables. Then just entering those variables into a template and sending it to the server

that wouldnt require an API

[distant sage]

i know how databases are being saved i dont think you understand me

they need to get the data from somewhere to save them into the database and origin has those data like kills, deaths etc

[supple bane]

OHH

[distant sage]

most games have api for stats like call of duty, valorant, csgo, gta V

[supple bane]

yeah idk how they would do that

yeah i thought you meant TN having their own home grown api specifically for that bot

[glossy plinth]

gg hyperx gonna be even worse now

[solar kestrel]

[pastel lily]

You mean HPX?

[quick locust]

I've never used any of their stuff

[glossy plinth]

[supple bane]

i have a hyper x headset

tis gud

i also have used their ram.

[solar kestrel]

i have one too

[supple bane]

and i mean, it works?

[solar kestrel]

i use corsairs ram

[supple bane]

yeah i use corsair ram too

i have USED hyper x

[glossy plinth]

get a void elite

far superior than hyperx

[supple bane]

never heard of it

but let me guess

its made by corsair ?

[glossy plinth]

yessir

correct

[supple bane]

and i wont be buying a headset again, i have a standalone mic so its pointless

[quick locust]

My ram is trident z

is gud

[supple bane]

a pair of headphones will give better audio quality than any gaming headsets

[quick locust]

I might do that in future

[glossy plinth]

void elite is superior

[quick locust]

But on zoom everyone has potato quality anyway

[supple bane]

fifine k669b+audiotechnica ath m50x will give better mic quality and better audio quality than any gaming headset on the market and will be cheaper

[proud trellis]

im buying another fifine is this fifine breaks

[glossy plinth]

void elite wireless + external mic = best audio and mic setup

[proud trellis]

its so good

[supple bane]

youre delusional if you think that will give the best audio setup

[glossy plinth]

its not best audio setup

but its best design

[quick locust]

my 800x600 webcam + zoom compression = jpeg quality

[proud trellis]

best audio and mic setup

[glossy plinth]

pretty sure the best headphones for audio

I THINK

is bose

[supple bane]

no way

[glossy plinth]

im just assuming that

[supple bane]

the best will be a company you have never heard of

[glossy plinth]

cause their soundbar is pretty nice from my experience

[quick locust]

at least better than the people using airpods with their desktops

[glossy plinth]

flexing airpods

lol

[supple bane]

fucking airpods

[solar kestrel]

i dont like having sound comeing in from the outside of my headphones

annoys me and its not as clear

[glossy plinth]

corsair can make a better version of airpods

[quick locust]

Same since I have 3000 rpm fans next to me

[proud trellis]

fuck off

lol

[solar kestrel]

[supple bane]

the hek

what fan runs at 3000 rpm ?

[glossy plinth]

corsair fans

[supple bane]

hush ya mush

[glossy plinth]

[quick locust]

my gpu fans

[supple bane]

dont you have that shitty 2080ti?!

[quick locust]

ye

[glossy plinth]

woah woah

how is a 2080 shitty

[quick locust]

my case fans are 1200 rpm

[supple bane]

so. its a 3 slot, 3 fan card running at 3000rpm and it STILL reaches 87c ?!

[quick locust]

is a shit cooler not gpu itself

[supple bane]

that thing is so wank it blows my mind

[quick locust]

normally 100% on it is 2200 rpm

but it keeps revving up especially on one fan

[supple bane]

do you have the power limit cranked or something ?

shunt modded ?!

[quick locust]

no

[glossy plinth]

add more thermal paste

[supple bane]

i wonder if its mis-reporting

because that just doesnt seem possible

[quick locust]

its usually one of the fans that keep revving up

[supple bane]

does the heatsink have any heatpipes ?

[quick locust]

ye

its pretty chonky

[supple bane]

are there any reviews that say it gets that hot ?

[quick locust]

anyway yeah I want closed headphones cause of that

[supple bane]

my 1060 does that too

[quick locust]

its weird

[supple bane]

ramps up for like less than a second and goes super high pitched

[quick locust]

yeah

thats when it hits 3000

[supple bane]

it must be a bios issue i guess

cuz my 1060 has always done it

[quick locust]

i tried kfa vbios but that isn't stable at all

so i just use factory one

a redditor got 65C on this card

with 370W vbios

and 70% fan speed

[proud trellis]

is it safe if i use a hair dryer on cold mode to get the dust out my pc ?

or would it fuck something up

[glossy plinth]

no thats weird

[supple bane]

it wont be strong enough to move dust

may as well just huff and puff with your mouth lol

[glossy plinth]

use a anti static cloth

[solar kestrel]

get compressed air from amazxon or sumthin

[proud trellis]

my mums hair dryer seems powerful

is it worth a shot ?

[glossy plinth]

yeah

All or Nothing

go for it

[proud trellis]

as long as it wont break anything i will do it

[solar kestrel]

lol 2 minutes later *pc explodes

yah go for it champ

[quick locust]

Maybe I should repaste or something again

Or replace the thermal pads, idk

[supple bane]

it wont be powerful enough @proud trellis i promise

[proud trellis]

im gonna prove you wrong

[solar kestrel]

damn straight

tell em ICE

also send a video im intreged

[glossy plinth]

ice gonna prove granty wrong

[quick locust]

🌪️

[proud trellis]

well

think I just had a snowstorm

[glossy plinth]

@proud trellis

[proud trellis]

job done

everything is clean apart from my AIO tubing which I’m just gonna wipe down

[solar kestrel]

shoulda sent a video

[quick locust]

put in dishwasher next time

jk

[proud trellis]

i should of took my fans out the case and give them a proper clean but they arent as dusty anymore

[supple bane]

there is a 0% chance its properly cleaned

it may have blown some lose dust off the case but there is no way a hairdryer gives a concentrated enough blast to remove dust from the gpu fins, pcb components, rad or fans

[proud trellis]

i will take it properly apart next week or something

[quick locust]

theres a 6800 xt in stock here

3060s never came and rest of 30 series is gone

3060 seem decent

memory bandwidth is rather low but it's a decent upgrade for pascal or maxwell users i guess

[supple bane]

im going to be trying to get one for my friend

he is trying too of course

he has a 1050ti so it will be a nice upgrade

[quick locust]

yeah

my friend wants to upgrade but she won't be able to cause money lul

she upgraded last year to a hd 4550 though

(yes its an old card but better than intel gma)

[supple bane]

if that was the upgrade, what did she have before that ?!

[quick locust]

motherboard graphics

[supple bane]

oh

[quick locust]

on G33 chipset

[supple bane]

yikes

[raw turtle]

I wouldn’t upgrade to it at all because of the jacked price and the fact it’s barely better than a 2060

Those who have a 1070ti shouldn’t upgrade to it

[quick locust]

yeah i know

just 1050 ti / 1060 users or maxwell users

it's a pretty meh step

[digital hill]

I'm gonna try to buy a 3060 today

[storm osprey]

good luck

[solar kestrel]

have fun with that

[glossy plinth]

make sure it has rgb

[quick locust]

500 PS5s being sold here by power

tonight

[proud trellis]

ngl i barely here anyone speak about the new consoles

not on instagram. not discord, legit nowhere

[supple bane]

my cousin in law has a ps5

and a few friends might have one i think

but idk anyone who got the series x

[supple bane]

i didnt get one

neither did he

the sellers website basically just died as soon as the clock hit 5pm lol

[proud trellis]

my brother managed to get the series x

its so silent tho

[digital hill]

Still trying on best buy

am stuck here

[opaque saddle]

Although Graphics performance will be guaranteed, it takes at least another few more years for Microsoft to develop a better OS if they can manage to fix the issues translating the code. Still the os itself is running like a virtual machine for now

[latent light]

RTX 3060 is slightly faster than RTX 2060 Super, slower than RX 5700XT

Pretty disappointing

[supple bane]

As I've said before then, its a 2070

Maybe 3% slower than a 2070

[weak girder]

yup

[quick locust]

man i have too unsteady hands to do small solders on electronics lol

[supple bane]

it can be tough on small things

cuz you have to hold the two objects you are trying to solder, the solder and the iron

i have a clamp stand thing, its just a heavy base with two crocadile clips on some arms. ill hold the two things im trying to solder in those and then i only gotta hold the solder and the iron in place

[quick locust]

yeah and with unsteady hands it can be a mess

that and i keep making pointy solders but w/e

[supple bane]

question. do you LOVE the smell of burning solder ?

[quick locust]

nah

[supple bane]

when ever im soldering i note how great it smells

i love it

[quick locust]

not of the plastic i accidentally hit either

[supple bane]

yeah dont get sniffing that stuff heh

[quick locust]

also this keeps going on standby which i guess is nice for energy savings but is annoying

[supple bane]

when i killed my old motherboard i decided to play around with the pins, trying to melt the solder and pull the components off to see what they looked like but it was having non of it

it wouldnt melt, i dont think it was normal solder that melts at 300 ish degrees. it must be something else

[quick locust]

i use 380 C for this

[supple bane]

i left it for so long the pcb was starting to warp and melt

[quick locust]

rip

[supple bane]

i wanted to pull things like the chipset off if i could, maybe the socket but i couldnt. big sad

i ended up trying to snap it (i couldnt) i then tried to brute force things off, i couldnt

so i was 100% beaten by a motherboard :(

[quick locust]

i went to a pc repair store once cause my fan header stopped working

they said 400 usd just to start soldering lul

[supple bane]

yikes

[quick locust]

that was on a laptop btw

since if that happened on my desktop i could just use a card with fan connectors

[bleak thistle]

Gsrgtitlg

Garfield

[weak girder]

can someone tell me why the larger the game is, the faster the download?

it takes me an hour to download a 14gb game but it takes 30 minutes to download gta V...

[modern gull]

lul?

the download size should be huge in comparison

The download speed must be faster?

[weak girder]

why cant I send pictures anymore?

[modern gull]

Wot?

[weak girder]

I cant send pictures anymore on this server

[modern gull]

Wasnt you server booster?

[weak girder]

yes

[modern gull]

You dont have the role anymore

[weak girder]

oh

dang it

[modern gull]

[weak girder]

why

[modern gull]

idk ngl

[swift plank]

and u have?

[modern gull]

maybe you need to boost monthly

[modern gull]

I got the regular role

[weak girder]

I dont see squid or twee doing it

[swift plank]

oaah

you are so special

[modern gull]

hah

[weak girder]

should I dm modmail?

[modern gull]

Perhaps. or you could ask in general maybe idk

I suppose modmail would be ideal regarding this.

[weak girder]

yes

is it related to my nitro running out?

you think

[modern gull]

I dont know to be honest

[weak girder]

at least I still have colorful name

[modern gull]

hahha

probably cause you changed before

But shouldn't you be saved as server booster or?

[weak girder]

I think so

I could pay for a boost

but...

[ember breach]

Why in the world does battlefield V only support DLSS on certain cards at certain resolutions, while it's available on all RTX cards at 4k? you need a 2060, 2070 or 2080 to use DLSS in 1440p, but if you have a 2080 Ti, or a 30xx RTX card, it doesn't work

[modern gull]

Figure whats happening first perhaps idk

[weak girder]

I got a response from mozzy saying its because my nitro ran out

[modern gull]

Ah i see

[supple bane]

because in bfv you need to stress the card for dlss to work properly

so the devs have allocated minimum settings that they decided stresses each card just enough

[modern gull]

I dont know to be honest, i dont know what DICE is doing regarding DLSS. I think its strange i cant enable it at 1080p etc....

[supple bane]

so a 2060 will only have to play on 1440p medium or something to reach full usage. but if you was to try using a 3090 at 1080p low with dlss it wouldnt work cuz it would only be at like 30% usage

[weak girder]

idk man, goopy still has the role and his nitro ran out

[supple bane]

its stupid really

[modern gull]

strange

[weak girder]

no colorful name gone

sadge

[modern gull]

Fortnite works fine with DLSS

[supple bane]

yeah i meant dice's implementation

[modern gull]

Shouldnt have asked about it

[granite kestrel]

But yes, Nitro is need to boost

Blame Discord

[modern gull]

Oh ya saw now my mistake.

[supple bane]

its a shame you have to use raytracing to enable dlss. tbh

i wouldnt mind playing at 1440p ultra if it meant i could use dlss

[modern gull]

But he already boosted tho. So he would need to keep nitro then after boost?

[ember breach]

Wait wait wait, DLSS is ai upscaling, the 'stress' shouldn't be a factor here, this feels more like a shortcoming from low effort than an actual technical limitation, as other DLSS implementations do not have this caveat

[weak girder]

wtf nitro is so expensive

[supple bane]

like i said, its a bad implementation

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

dont forget bfv has one of the earliest dlss implementations ever, so it was still very new tech when it was added

[opaque saddle]

Maintain good behaviour will grant a regular role

[ember breach]

Yeah, sorry, was too busy typing to notice you made more posts ^^'

My B

[modern gull]

Maybe bf5 even using dlss 1.0 or something?

[supple bane]

probably

they stopped support way before dlss 2.0 was released i think

[modern gull]

mhm i see

[ember breach]

Nah, updates were still coming out, but I think they didn't bother because the game was coming to an end of life state

[modern gull]

rip man

Maybe they will have dlss 2.0 in the next game tho

[supple bane]

im gonna science it and see what settings i have to run to enable dlss

[ember breach]

Probably, DLSS is pretty much a game changer

[modern gull]

I think in bf5 you need a spesific screen res

[modern gull]

Ya free fps at decent quality

[ember breach]

The problem is that there is no option to run the game at a higher resolution than your monitor, so if you have a more powerful card, but only a 1440p monitor, you can't really use ray tracing

[weak girder]

guess I should wait for reg

probably won't wait too long

[supple bane]

hmm

even at 1440p ultra rtx on i cant enable it

[chrome skiff]

There is a gpu tier to resolution scale. If you have a 2080 you can use dlss at 1440p. If you have a 2080ti you can't and are expected to brute force it

[modern gull]

Up too you ngl. Personaly i'd probably just boost again lul, depends how many photos and stuff you want to send i guess.

[modern gull]

What res?

[supple bane]

1440

[weak girder]

nah Im not payin 10 bucks

for a month

[supple bane]

youll have reg in no time

[modern gull]

Fair enough

[weak girder]

Ive been here for quite long ig

[modern gull]

Technicaly he had regular for long now. But it was p2w regular

[supple bane]

yep. mean while people with less than 100 messages get it just cuz they are friends with mods

i hate it so much

[weak girder]

[chrome skiff]

Yeah always seems sus up in here

[modern gull]

They have no reason not to give it to you as you already had the perms and havent caused any issues

[chrome skiff]

I was in here for like5 months with my old profile picture and playing in the voice channels with tons of people and second something happened i got removed until i changed once there was an argument

Im not the only one i literally had 5 people message me thats how it is here

[strong breach]

the nitro booster role is completely controlled by discord as a quick tutorial

[opaque saddle]

I got my regular after helping a bunch of people, that took me some time. But people maintained with good behaviour over time will be granted a regular role

[strong breach]

and it can only be obtained and kept while being a booster on any existing server

[modern gull]

Oh

[supple bane]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[weak girder]

so if I boost a server and still have nitro, I still have the role but if my nitro runs out I lose the role

dammit discord

[supple bane]

bfv sus

i enabled dlss now its artifacting like crazy

[strong breach]

yup you'll only have the role when being an active booster

[modern gull]

look like ps1 game

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

holy crap it looks terrible

[strong breach]

it's 100% automatic

[weak girder]

Ill just wait for reg

[weak girder]

it looks... wierd

[supple bane]

its really grainy

[weak girder]

like an old game thats been modded

[modern gull]

Woah the fact that bf5 is oversharpened in the first place and with this looks awfull. its even smudgy image

[weak girder]

yeah the foliage looks awfull

[modern gull]

look at the sandbags all smudgy lul

[weak girder]

yeah like if san andreas has been modded or smth

[modern gull]

this must be dlss 1.0 everything looks sharp and smudgy like a bad photoshop filter

[modern gull]

Ya lul

[weak girder]

I dont rly understand why only rtx cards have dlss

it would benefit weaker cards

[chrome skiff]

They need to have the ai upscaling core to do so

which is only on rtx cards

[supple bane]

yeah rtx cards have the special cores

gtx cards dont have them

[weak girder]

oh

[ember breach]

The map screen looks weird in cyberpunk with DLSS, as well as your character model in the equipment screen, but the game itself looks much closer to target resolution

[modern gull]

What if its a scam tho?

[weak girder]

dlss ig is like sharpening but wierd

[ember breach]

Because it's the RT cores that allow for the feature to function at all

[chrome skiff]

Well its the tensor cores that handle dlss. Rt cores are... well ray tracing

[ember breach]

DLSS renders the game at a lower internal resolution, and uses a deep learning algorithm to upscale it and preserve detail

[modern gull]

Its cause it makes the image smudgy aswell

dlss 2.0 looks almost identical to native res, even in performance mode. Just some things like tiny reflective surfaces might look abit pixelated, not realy noticable.

[supple bane]

i mean they said that rtx voice only worked on rtx cards cuz of the tensor cores. however you had to change one line in the .ini files to get it to work on gtx cards

[ember breach]

Oh yeah, either way, it's not possible on non-RTX cards because they don't have the hardware to run it

[modern gull]

[supple bane]

there was basically just a line that said something like "rtxcheck=yes"

[ember breach]

RTX voice is a lot less demanding of those cores than DLSS, to be fair

[supple bane]

you just had to change that to "no" then it would work on gtx cards

[chrome skiff]

I just realized my chat logs only go back to the day i was muted for my profile picture. Everything before it was deleted. Cant search past 10/17/2020 I was here before that by a while

[supple bane]

ultra+rtx+dlss=

low+nothing else=

[weak girder]

I cant tell on discord

[chrome skiff]

as long as i can click heads that doesnt even look that bad imo

[opaque saddle]

What about HDR

[supple bane]

open as original-zoom in

really obvious then

[opaque saddle]

Texture quality basically

[weak girder]

oohh

[supple bane]

its so over sharpened

[weak girder]

oh wow

[opaque saddle]

Low settings has much less depth

And less texture resolution

[modern gull]

This looks nice

[modern gull]

Set TAA and post processing to low to avoid the oversharpening the guy doing post did

[supple bane]

id rather not play at ultra anyway. i need ma frames

[modern gull]

[opaque saddle]

Tbh I like how dynamic weather works in the game

[supple bane]

i always play at 1440p low

[modern gull]

Ya pretty poggers

might be abit annoying sometimes but still good

[modern gull]

Ah

[opaque saddle]

Coz I reckon a map without those changes is lacks of souls

Even if day and night changes will be nice

[modern gull]

Ya it brings the maps more to life

i think day cycle would be abit too much, but thats me. Maybe it would work great idk

[opaque saddle]

Coz at least you aren’t playing the same thing over and over again, giving it more challenges and realistic hemisphere

[modern gull]

mhm

[ember breach]

My framerate is more affected by my ancient CPU than my GPU

[opaque saddle]

Bfv has play a bit of day and night settings

[supple bane]

same..

[chrome skiff]

I use Maarty mcflys rt shader on reshade when i need to max out the graphics. Runs better then most ray tracing and works with dlss if the game supports it

[supple bane]

i have a fat cpu bottleneck in bfv

[opaque saddle]

Some maps has both day and night tho

[modern gull]

Would be interesting to see if they have day cycle in next one

[ember breach]

That probably means you can change a lot of settings to high or ultra even without affecting performance much

[modern gull]

in bf5?

[ember breach]

Just have to find which ones are CPU intensive

[supple bane]

i can.

[opaque saddle]

Obviously they don’t have day and night cycle in BFV. Only day map and night map

[supple bane]

but i dont cuz i like the extra visibility

[ember breach]

I still have to tweak my settings, it's just hard when I get booted out so quickly of multiplayer

[modern gull]

Ya havent noticed a cycle. But i cant remmeber a night map atm lul

[opaque saddle]

Narvik has both day and night

[supple bane]

so does panzerstorm

[modern gull]

interesting

[opaque saddle]

It doesn’t really have day and night cycle

[modern gull]

Narvik is always day for me

[ember breach]

And the practice range always performs way better than multiplayer

[opaque saddle]

Narvik is a night map in OP

[supple bane]

you need to play operatioins

[modern gull]

ah ya i see

[supple bane]

i love that map on night cuz it glitches the chrome skins and it looks DOPE

[modern gull]

operations is that rush+conquest thing right?

[supple bane]

rush, breakthrough, conquest

i hate anything that isnt tactical conquest or squad conquest :)

[modern gull]

i see

[opaque saddle]

It is nice to see the computers runs differently in BFV

Coz you can technically run BFV on OG Xbox one hardware, at 30fps and downscaled

[supple bane]

bfv is just special cuz it seemingly can be super easy to run but at the same time the most taxing game i own

[opaque saddle]

You can have as powerful hardware as you can imagine

you can run it flawlessly with it. But it doesn’t seems to be optimised with higher end hardware

[supple bane]

actually thats a lie, msfs2020 is the most taxing game i own

100% vram usage, 100% ram usage, 100% core 0 usage and 100% gpu usgae

its ridiculous

[quick locust]

DLSS is nice but i prefer native unless its a game that crushes my gpu

[opaque saddle]

DLSS is still a long way to go for new games. Coz we all know DX12 isn’t mature enough to encourage other users to switch from DX11 to DX12

[modern gull]

ngl dlss 2.0 is pretty nice and has great quality in the games i tried

[opaque saddle]

coz DLSS is gonna looks good in the future

[modern gull]

dlss already looks good tho

[opaque saddle]

We can see the potential. But a long way to go for further optimisation

[modern gull]

optimisation in terms of quality or performance?

[opaque saddle]

Both actually

[modern gull]

Have you tried DLSS 2.0?

[opaque saddle]

Yes

[modern gull]

You like it? Performance mode*

[opaque saddle]

At least I can see the potential. I mean real potential. Yes

[modern gull]

i see

[quick locust]

dx bad

vulkan good

jk

[ember breach]

Ray tracing is almost useless without DLSS in my opinion

I hope BF6 uses ray traced audio

[modern gull]

DLSS is a nice have when using raytracing on some systems

[opaque saddle]

What I’m saying is, it looks good, but DLSS can be developed with more potential in the future on the road map

[modern gull]

oh ya

[opaque saddle]

I hoped we can see if it can be implemented to Nintendo switch in the future

[ember breach]

DLSS is surprisingly good for how new this tech is, so if we can already see the results we've seen, I completely agree, it has a huge potential

I also think that resolutions like 8K aren't realistically achievable for many generations without it

[opaque saddle]

Although it may not happen, this is more likely it will be beneficial for those portable hardware.

[modern gull]

Mhm i suppose

[ember breach]

I could imagine a switch model that has extra cores in the dock for DLSS

[opaque saddle]

Coz the current switch runs really badly

[quick locust]

cause its a weak tegra

[opaque saddle]

We all agreed it is underpowered, but it doesn’t mean they don’t have good games

[modern gull]

Btw i tried DLSS in fortnite. With max raytracing i get about 40 fps. with dlss i get about 90 fps image looks almost identical but raytraced reflections kind of look lower quality.

[ember breach]

Samsung are apparently adding radeon SOC's to some of their upcoming phones, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see tegra make a return to phones as well

[modern gull]

[opaque saddle]

Isn’t that AMD?

[ember breach]

Yeah

But if AMD are entering the mobile market, it would be in Nvidia's interest to bring tegra back to phones

And if they do, it means they might start pushing development on tegra chips again

[opaque saddle]

AMD can’t enter the mobile market without the help from an existing chip manufacturer

[ember breach]

Which would be good for future switches

Yeah, and that chip manufacturer is samsung

[modern gull]

Derek you talking about like samsung?

[opaque saddle]

Coz I remember they have sold their ARM mobile chip company or something (this is AMD)

[ember breach]

It's only in samsung phones

[opaque saddle]

Yeah, but AMD can’t do it on their own

[modern gull]

oh ya

[ember breach]

AMD have researched ARM, but they closed the project. But recently the started researching it again, from what I can remember

[opaque saddle]

They can spend tons of money on it. They are too late for the competition

[quick locust]

RISC-V better

[opaque saddle]

Unless they are as rich as intel tho

[ember breach]

The thing is, desktop CPU's are probably transitioning to ARM

[opaque saddle]

I would say hybrid...

[ember breach]

Apple made that jump, and it has REALLY promising performance

I don't think a hybrid is even possible

[modern gull]

interesting

[opaque saddle]

I mean, hybrid on desktop

[quick locust]

risc-v has better perf and perf/w than arm

[ember breach]

Yeah, that also looks promising

But we're probably going to see a more diverse market, as x86 is becoming outdated fast in comparison

[quick locust]

unlike windows on arm which doesnt look promising

lul

[opaque saddle]

Still I think MS has a long way to go for their windows on arm system

[ember breach]

Yeah, but that's more a microsoft problem than anything

[opaque saddle]

Coz they went for a completely different approach

[quick locust]

linux though 👍

[ember breach]

Even running windows on the ARM macbooks has better performance than the official implementation

[opaque saddle]

Arm on windows is like, running a virtual machine on a layer after a layer

[ember breach]

There are rumour windows 10 might transition to linux even, we live in crazy times

[quick locust]

nah

[opaque saddle]

M1 Mac is like, running and apply the code directly on the system

[quick locust]

10X ditched win32 but is not using linux

[ember breach]

These are just rumours

But it could be really good for the end user

[quick locust]

10X is awful

locked down and everything synced to onedrive

[ember breach]

Yeah, but I'm not talking about 10X

[opaque saddle]

Windows on arm is like, thinking in Spanish as a native English speaker and translate those words in writing then restructure into in Spanish

[quick locust]

If its samsung and qualcomm again to take over pc arm then i dont think it will be cheaper either

[ember breach]

But I can guarantee that AMD is eyeing ARM again, at least

[opaque saddle]

Unless MS can fix their system, I don’t think Qualcomm can be shine on windows on arm system

[quick locust]

MS uses qualcomm

on their own arm devices

[opaque saddle]

Yeah but the problem is tho, the way it works on windows on arm, MS making it too complicated, like running a virtual machine on a layer on top of another

[ember breach]

If the future of high performance CPU's is in ARM and Risc-V, then Microsoft will most likely make a better implementation for compatibility

[opaque saddle]

It is the problem from the operating system end, not the hardware

[quick locust]

windows has terrible performance? imagine my shock

[opaque saddle]

Coz windows on arm system relies on multiple translations

[quick locust]

Would be nice if it was just linux arm + macos arm competition for OEMs rn

Which it already is rn but

[ember breach]

From what I've heard, a lot of games run better on Linux, even through a windows VM these days

[quick locust]

depends on game

but most run fine

bfv too

[ember breach]

I'm thinking of maybe switching to running windows as a VM, but I haven't decided yet

[quick locust]

a few has vm detection and kernel anti cheat

[opaque saddle]

M1 on windows has a geekbench multicore result of 4998, compare to 7454 on macOS

[quick locust]

yeah lol

[opaque saddle]

Since it doesn’t run it directly, shall have performance impact anyway

[quick locust]

yeah plus the surface costs more

rip

[opaque saddle]

I think the SQ2 is faster than SQ1

793/3113

[quick locust]

still bad

so M1 is sort of around 3600X-3700X

in multi

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/6021327

my 8700K

[ember breach]

I wonder what DLSS could do in VR

[quick locust]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/536263463018954762/802252487620558928/unknown-20.png

[glossy plinth]

up the performance

[ember breach]

Yeah, I'm more saying I want to see what sort of things developers can pull off in VR with that increased performance

[solar kestrel]

[glossy plinth]

Realistic dark souls

Sekiro

oooo that would be cool

[modern gull]

They already made something like this for vr. Let me find you a link

[glossy plinth]

no

[ember breach]

There's been talk about the future of VR using AI upscaling and dynamic resolution based on eye tracking, but nothing I've seen implemented

[modern gull]

https://developer.nvidia.com/vrworks/graphics/variablerateshading

[ember breach]

That's quite a bit different from DLSS

[modern gull]

Its not directly working the same way as DLSS but kind of same idea i suppose

[modern gull]

Correct

[ember breach]

The eye tracking stuff is interesting, the idea is basically to render at full resolution wherever you're looking, but lower resolution in your periphery

[modern gull]

DLSS is constantly running at half the res

[ember breach]

Basically just rendering dots and denoising them

[modern gull]

It would only be in center i think

I mean there isnt any eye tracking as i am aware of

[ember breach]

It would shift if it uses eye tracking, which is something being implemented slowly in VR

I mean, there are eye tracking solutions, but only one headset that has eye tracking, I believe

[modern gull]

If you can fit a eye sencor that close to your eye it could be implemented

[modern gull]

interesting

[glossy plinth]

thats pretty interesting

[ember breach]

HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition has eye Tobii eye tracking, apparently

[modern gull]

I didnt know that ngl

[ember breach]

Enhanced graphics and VR system performance: powered by Tobii Spotlight Technology™ for dynamic foveated rendering, the headset’s screen resolution can be maximized at the specific spot where a user is looking, which enables higher quality visuals and more efficient VR system performance.

Honestly, did not know we're this close to this being implemented

[modern gull]

To be honest when i play vr i mostly look in the center anyway. i do change my eye direction but not by like crazy amounts

[ember breach]

I thought we'd have to wait several generations longer

Yeah, you learn to do that due to lens distortion and low FOV, but some headsets have more advanced optics that allow for less distortion close to the edge, with wider FOV

[modern gull]

There are certian situations i move my eyes alot tho ngl

[modern gull]

My current headset has 110 fov i think it was

[ember breach]

I have a Rift S, myself

[modern gull]

I dont have rift lul

[ember breach]

Kind of wish I would have waited for the quest 2 instead

[modern gull]

i dont like the rift or vive as you need to use those base stations

[ember breach]

Higher refresh rate, high resolution, and can be used both for PC and standalone VR, for a lower price

[modern gull]

mixed reallity is more conviniet

[modern gull]

Rift?

[ember breach]

Only the original Rift used external sensorts

I was talking about the oculus quest 2

[modern gull]

Oh ya

[ember breach]

But the Rift S, Quest, and Quest 2 have inside out tracking

[modern gull]

Nice

[ember breach]

So they use cameras on the headset for tracking instead of external cameras

[modern gull]

I know, they got that from mixed reality 😛

cant put controller behind your head to

or atleast not for too long

[ember breach]

To be fair, they announced they were working on it before WMR was announced

I've found that the tracking stretches far back enough that it never really becomes a problem for me

[modern gull]

I wouldnt know, all i know wmr was first released with it

[modern gull]

same

[ember breach]

Yeah, they were first to market

[modern gull]

ngl i mostly play seated

[ember breach]

I do a fair bit as well

Depends on what I'm playing and what I'm in the mood for

[modern gull]

Fair enough

https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.VVkEMVPEDjAs4_2riQZBYwHaEv?pid=ImgDet&rs=1

mixed reality contorller. dont need to stand 😛

just use joy stick

[ember breach]

I'm just sad that facebook basically stopped supporting the Rift S before the warranty even ran out

[modern gull]

rip

ngl im not buying no facebook product

gonna stay with wmr probably. works fine.

[ember breach]

Everything is spying on me anyway, I don't really care about what company I buy it from

[modern gull]

fair enough

[ember breach]

The new HP headset sounds good

[modern gull]

funfact i deleted my facebook like 3 years ago lul

[ember breach]

I have a google home, so when it comes to privacy, I'm basically fucked

Anyway, I need to tidy up a bit and run some errands

[modern gull]

Has nice specs but meh the controller is abit poop. so would use the ones i sent photo of. Also dont like those build in speakers, which it seems you can remove thankfully.

[modern gull]

Rip man

[modern gull]

Ok, see you later man 🙂

[ember breach]

o/

[supple bane]

late response but, i too brought the rift s over the quest and im kinda glad for it

its higher spec slightly but ive heard its uncomfortable, the speakers suck and the tether to a pc thing sucks anyway

because the input lag is really high and it drops frames. Its also really picky about the cable you use so it sometimes just doesnt work at all

so you are getting better specs at the cost of less games, worse looking games OR a really spongey and slow experience

this is just what ive heard of course. ive never used it

[quick locust]

i want index but ive not tried vr much

if you have the money just avoid oculus at all costs tbh. i could rant for hours about their fucking software

i have honestly considered just unplugging the thing and throwing it in the attic

[quick locust]

lol

[supple bane]

for a start. most people have to unplug it and plug it back in ever time they turn their computer on.

also have to do that every couple hours cuz eventually it just goes kapoot and stops working. then the oculus store recognises games like ark as vr games (even tho they eint) so if i open ark the oculus store is like yo lemme join in bro. and that would be fine if it didnt use A BUNCH OF FUCKING RESOURCES

[quick locust]

lol

[supple bane]

and if you close the oculus store the game just closes with it. even tho ark is a steam game and has nothing to do with oculus what so ever

[quick locust]

index sound far better with software and hardware

[supple bane]

oh oculus also has decided that its more important than any other device on my machine. so 9 times out of 10 it will set the headset as the default mic and audio device just on its own accord

rant over

fuck you facebook

[quick locust]

theres also HP vr set but they seem to have QA issues

quest 2 costs less than quest weird

[ember breach]

Yeah, but the quest 2 has higher specs han rift S, and rift S has a bunch of bugs they never fixed, sadly

Their software apparently works a lot better with quest 2, as well, because they continue to support it

[quick locust]

How is Pimax vr?

XR

[ember breach]

No idea

[supple bane]

do you have any of the issues i listed above btw?

[ember breach]

Some of it, have t read through it all yet

[supple bane]

the "having to unplug it and plug it back in on start up" is the one that really boils my blood

[ember breach]

I don't have to do that
