[quick locust]

From Jensen Huang so only sliiighly biased

[wanton sky]

Zen 3+ is coming first before they go to AM5

[quick locust]

I know

But it is the last

[wanton sky]

But DDR5 will also be expensive in the first time

[quick locust]

I know

[prime jasper]

is it worth buying a prebuilt just for the gpu then switch them out and resell it

i say yes

[quick locust]

Sometimes

Huang: Our situation is very different than other people’s situations, as you can imagine. Nvidia doesn’t make commodity components. We’re not in the DRAM business or the flash business or the CPU business. Our products are not commodity-oriented. It’s very specific, for specific applications. In the case of GeForce, for example, we haven’t raised our price. Our price is basically the same. We have an MSRP. The channel end market prices are higher because demand is so strong.

Our strategy is to alleviate, to reduce the high demand that is caused by crypto mining, and create a special product, the CMP, directly for the crypto miners. If the crypto miners can buy, directly from us, a large volume of GPUs, and they don’t yield to GeForce, so they cannot be used for GeForce, but they can be used for crypto mining, it will discourage them from buying from the open market.

[cyan quartz]

is an Intel Core i5-8400 better than a Core i5 6600k

trying to figure out if I can even run bf2042 on my comp

[quick locust]

Yes it is

[wanton sky]

I think the i5-8400 is better. The i5-8400 has 6 cores, the i5 6600k has 4 cores. But the base clock speed of the i5-8400 is lower

[quick locust]

Worse per core but 6 cores

4 core CPU's suffer a bit in bf

[cyan quartz]

ah alr

[warm lynx]

definitely go for the 6 core

[cyan quartz]

just slightly concerned cause my things a few years old and it’s has problems running shit like Warzone in the past

that might be my ping now that I think abt it

[rain bolt]

what u all talking about?

[heady pawn]

Ok, here’s what I think is the logic behind eGPUs (correct me if I’m wrong):
The FPS depends on the amount of RAM available. If you were to add a eGPU, there would be more RAM available, allowing for higher FPS

[quick locust]

Uh no

[heady pawn]

I thought FPS and RAM went together

[quick locust]

To a degree but

It's the external GPU itself being faster than the internal one

[heady pawn]

So adding a eGPU won’t help with the FPS

[quick locust]

It uses it's own dedicated vram not the system ram

Yeah it does

Because it's faster than the GPU in the laptop usually

[heady pawn]

So adding a eGPU will help me with my low FPS problem

[quick locust]

Yes (unless you are CPU bottlenecked)

But they require thunderbolt

[wanton sky]

@rain bolt AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, AMD RX 6900 XT 16GB, 3TB SSD

[quick locust]

Which most low to mid end laptops don't have

[heady pawn]

I have a thunderbolt

[rain bolt]

@wanton sky 16 gb ram amd ryzen 7 3700x 8-core, Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060

[wanton sky]

Nice!

[rain bolt]

u think i can play the game?

[wanton sky]

Yes

[quick locust]

Then you can add an egpu

But it's expensive right now

[heady pawn]

I do think that it’s kinda stupid that the eGPU cases cost like $500 and they don’t even include any graphics cards

[quick locust]

Yeah

But it's not a big market

[heady pawn]

The only brand that I know of that makes one is Razer

[quick locust]

There's several others

Issue is you still need gpu

Which is in shortage

[dry pike]

Some do include a gfx card, those probably cost 2500usd atm

With Razer you pay the Razer tax for the brand.

[untold tiger]

Most modern CPUs will run the game no problem. I'm still running a first gen Ryzen 7 1700 and I have no issues running modern games. I can run BFV at 1440p/Ultra and average well over 60 with a 1660 Ti.

[arctic crag]

Well cpu shouldn’t impact much if you are playing on ultra

But changing the game to low you will see a bottleneck

[dry pike]

A CPU with a few more cores is nice if silly people are spamming general channel on Discord with emojis 😉

[native tartan]

Hey any chances that my PC might be able to run BF 2042? 16GB Ram Intel I5-8400, Nvidia 1070ti

[dry pike]

!!specs

[silent oasis]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for Battlefield 2042.
Any specs floating around the internet are just assumptions or rumors.

[native tartan]

Huh, is the engine a more developed version of Frostbite 3?

Because if that's case, I guess I will go check BFV or other frostbite games for a rough reference

[dry pike]

Every Battlefield (and Frostbite) game has had a "more developed" engine than the previously released one.

[modern gull]

I would expect soo

They haven't really updated the version number in 8 years, technically bf5 could maybe have been 4.0

[native tartan]

Fair enough, thanks for the info

[opaque saddle]

I wouldn’t comment on it. We will know once it is released

[native tartan]

Oh I know that, it's I was slightly concerned since the last game I played that used Frostbite 3 (NFS Heat) was a bit rough sometimes

Though that might have been a hardware problem with the ram (was using single channel instead of dual channel)

[quick locust]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[humble parcel]

Can anyone help me install Origin?

[proud trellis]

https://www.origin.com/gbr/en-us/store

[humble parcel]

doesn't work

[grizzled talon]

bf4 lag when firing in front of enemy anyone can help with this?

[arctic crag]

What are you serious?

[arctic crag]

You see stutters?

Fps drop?

[grizzled talon]

nah dont think so

[arctic crag]

What’s your specs

[grizzled talon]

thought was mouse faulty but aint

in on lan

3600 xt ryzen

5700 xt

400 mpbs on lan

it was fine before

only on bf4

[arctic crag]

Are you sure it’s not the server itself?

[grizzled talon]

bf1 i dont have this prob

nah

ping is goiod on EU servers

[arctic crag]

Repair the game through origin

[grizzled talon]

it happens in most of any server

i did already

no luck

might b mouse fucked?

[arctic crag]

Reinstall punk buster

[arctic crag]

You said it’s fine in other games

[grizzled talon]

ye bf1 is perfect

[arctic crag]

So i don’t think it’s mouse

[grizzled talon]

only on bf4 this happens

[arctic crag]

More like a corrupted files

[grizzled talon]

i have already re installed game from scratch

no help

[arctic crag]

Was it always like that?

[grizzled talon]

nah

was great before

[arctic crag]

Did that happen after a windows update or driver update?

[grizzled talon]

good question i really dont know but that could be

i have already trobleshoot many times

[arctic crag]

Yep Microsoft screws us every month or so

[grizzled talon]

i know

im a desktop support engineer in uk

but gamning is tricky sumtimes

lol

[arctic crag]

Absolutely

[grizzled talon]

could be drivers maybe

[arctic crag]

Yes

Maybe download an older version of your wifi adapter on your mobo site

[grizzled talon]

yea

thought about that

[arctic crag]

Or update it to the latest version maybe that will fix your problem

Good luck mate

[grizzled talon]

cheers man

[prime jasper]

what is the settings called the change to 3rd person on pc

[hidden schooner]

for which game?

[weak girder]

am I the only one who the last nvidia drivers gave shit performance?

[untold tiger]

Easily.

[opaque saddle]

!!specs

[silent oasis]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for Battlefield 2042.
Any specs floating around the internet are just assumptions or rumors.

[raw hornet]

i haven’t seen a difference in performance on my end

[weak girder]

one of my friends has an nvidia card too and we both had frame drops in a few games since we did the update

[raw hornet]

which games?

[weak girder]

rdr2, warzone and minecraft funnily enough

[raw hornet]

hmmm, i did play rdr2 just yesterday and it seemed fine to me. warzone i had bugs before that ruined my fps for a bit, minecraft, not so sure tbh

[weak girder]

warzone has been horrible for me recently

game keeps freezing when I quit it

and 1/2 times it stutters like hell

[arctic crag]

You shouldn’t always upgrade to the latest driver

[grizzled talon]

hey MA

morning

quick update about yest, the issue I am having is also on BF1 so could be my equipment, maybe mouse is going or need reinstall OS , what do you think?

[weak girder]

tbh reinstalling OS is the last option Id be considering that doesnt involve money

idk your problem but try to check what' s it caused by, check your cpu/gpu/ram usage and temps

[grizzled talon]

I know but cant play proerly 😦

I have lag when firing in fron of enemy

[weak girder]

lag or framedrops?

[grizzled talon]

just cant shoot properly have delay

[weak girder]

then that' s your internet

[grizzled talon]

i am on 400 mbps on LAN

so no

[weak girder]

whats your ping in game?

[grizzled talon]

28

[weak girder]

hmm

[grizzled talon]

ye weird

what do ya think?

i thought was my mouse to be replaced

old g 403

I might reinstall I was ok before

could be driver/windows update issue

[stuck rain]

🐧

[prime jasper]

I am Rahjesh... Feel free to ask me anything about technology and electronics

i will be your tech support agent for today

[weak girder]

[prime jasper]

and also feel free to write yoir credit card details

[raw turtle]

Time to find out if my rx 570 can run battlefield 2042

Meets minimum but a bit below recommended

[arctic crag]

Clean install of windows is recommended before doing anything with your equipments

[arctic crag]

Or before that pull an Ethernet cable and see how it goes

[raw turtle]

What’s his issue?

And what parts did he change?

[arctic crag]

Lag when aiming downsight

He uses WiFi

[raw turtle]

Like FPS stutters or ping?

[arctic crag]

Internet lag

[raw turtle]

That makes no sense at all how that would happen lol

Idk the troubleshooting steps I’d take are uninstalling the game, DDU the WiFi driver if you have one

[arctic crag]

Corrupted files you suspect?

A fresh install of windows is a life saver and will save you a lot of headache in my opinion

[ancient cave]

Bf5 is 50gb on steam but 90gb on origin, I own the game on origin anyway I can download it on steam?

[supple bane]

I would assume that has something to do with steam using a better compression system

so sure your downloading less data, but it gets unpacked to be the same size once its local

for example ark survival evolved is a 50gb download but is around 200gb on disk

[wanton sky]

No, if you want the game on Steam, you have to buy it again

[solid stirrup]

Right after I turn on my PC, BF1 works. Later on, it crashes. Why does this happen

[storm rune]

what my be causing drops in frames? im literally droping 80 frames in a sec in a game like bf4 on r5 3600 and rtx 3070 with 16gb's 3200mhz cl 16 ram

[heady pawn]

Maybe because you need more airflow

[storm rune]

the temps are good

[heady pawn]

Is the max FPS 120?

[storm rune]

nope

[heady pawn]

Hmmmmm
You should try downloading Smart game booster. It frees up ram, updates drivers, and can overclock your GPU (if you want it to)

If that doesn’t work, then idk

[storm rune]

i think im just gonna format my whole system

[latent light]

AMD's 3D chip stacking tech is based on TSMC's SoIC technology. AMD flips the die then shaves the standard compute die down by 95%, leaving only 20 micrometers of active silicon for compute purposes, which is thinner than a strand of human hair. AMD then places a standard L3 chip on top to complete the stack.

[hollow crest]

I've got a question when i connect my switch controller to my pc for battlefield it goes on a spasm in the main menu and won't let me do anything in it and in the game it won't work how would i go about fixing this cause idk what the heck is goin on

[digital finch]

prolly dosent support well with the game

[digital finch]

heavy stutters?

[storm rune]

it's not all the time

but im just running

and then just a lag

but i think it might be the hdd fault

[digital finch]

could be if its a 5400rpm hdd

try running the game in an ssd

[fallow slate]

uhh i got a problem... I want to join a game but i always get a long loading screen and then i get kicked for afk

[arctic crag]

Are these drops in bf4 only?

[storm rune]

nah

[storm rune]

7200

but recently it started vibrating af

[arctic crag]

what do you have for the storage

[storm rune]

and i had to put it on a sponge to stop the vibrations going to my case

[storm rune]

ssd + hdd

but the ssd is only 220 gb...

[arctic crag]

Was it always like that?

[storm rune]

nope, one day I moved my pc and it started vibrating hard

[arctic crag]

What about you take the hdd off

and put it again

[storm rune]

wdym

[arctic crag]

Take it out of your case

reinstall the hdd

[storm rune]

i think i did that like couple of times

[arctic crag]

You said that started to happend after you moved your computer maybe something happend to the screws

[storm rune]

it isn't screwed anymore

i put it on a sponge and tied it down with a cable tie xD

to reduce the vibrations

because it was making a loud af noise

[arctic crag]

put the screws back and remove the sponge if that solves your problem then you know what caused it

[storm rune]

i can't do that

it's to loud when i do that

[arctic crag]

Hdd contains a moving parts that need to be held strongly

[storm rune]

yea i was thinking about throwing this shit out

and buying m2 ssd

[arctic crag]

Just try and see if that stop stutters if that didn't help put the sponge again

[arctic crag]

I wanted to ask how the hell a guy having an rtx 3070 and still uses hdd in his pc

[storm rune]

well all my money had to go somewhere 😆

[arctic crag]

Anyway to make sure that the problem is from hdd move bf4 files to ssd if possible and see how it goes

[storm rune]

wish i could move it

59 gb's of storage left

[arctic crag]

bf4 base game is 40s gb if i'm not mistaken?

[storm rune]

30

but i have premium

[arctic crag]

Damn man your luck is stupidly bad

[storm rune]

yep

59 gb on ssd and 180 on hdd

i don't really know what takes that much space

[arctic crag]

you have windows only on your ssd?

[storm rune]

i don't really know what I have on that drive

[arctic crag]

wtf man if i were your pc i would shut down myself until you know my value

[storm rune]

probably a lot of shit that i dont even need

[arctic crag]

you should take more care of your pc

[storm rune]

talking about taking care

i think i need to clean it

haven't cleaned it in like a year or so

[arctic crag]

i'm out

[storm rune]

😆

[storm rune]

im gonna do a clean windows install :l

[storm rune]

@arctic crag btw here is an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ISpb9Pk5ao

[arctic crag]

temps are really good

Yeah try a fresh install of windows

that sucks what i saw

[vagrant ledge]

"Used Mem" and "Mem" mens your Ram right ?

[storm rune]

yes

[vagrant ledge]

because like 80% ram usage sucks

that's the problem

[storm rune]

lol no

if it was more than 95%

[vagrant ledge]

My buddy had the same game experience with the micro lags. He installed more ram and had no problems anymore

Just saying

[storm rune]

idk 16 gigs seems good for today games

[arctic crag]

mate he has 16gb of ram what are you talking about

even warzone at 8k doesn't take more than 16gb

[vagrant ledge]

It doesn't matter if you have 8, 16 or 32. If the usage is that high, something isn't right lol. Not offending anybody here, just trying to find a solution

[storm rune]

80% isnt high

[vagrant ledge]

lol

[storm rune]

https://youtu.be/ZT7OBgjglPs here's another video, it wasn't that laggy but lags are still visible

[arctic crag]

Mate as long as ram is under 99% that's fine

[storm rune]

i think the time has come

to do a fresh install 😦

[arctic crag]

and clean your pc

[storm rune]

yea i'll have to do it too

[grizzled talon]

ma

still having issue man 😦

after clean installl

[storm rune]

what issues do you have

[grizzled talon]

lag when firing on bf4

in front of enemy

[storm rune]

hmm that's weird

sorry but cant really help you with that now

[grizzled talon]

its ok

[storm rune]

need to do a fresh windows install xD

[grizzled talon]

ive reinstalled today as well

gd luck mate

[grizzled talon]

i dont use WIFI lol im on LAN#

[arctic crag]

Oh my bad lol

[grizzled talon]

lol

ive reinstalled samew issue

5700 xt is a nightmare card

[arctic crag]

Did you install all the drivers from your mobo website

[arctic crag]

What’s wrong?

[grizzled talon]

adrenaline software

i dunno my system waz ok before im fed up ]

[arctic crag]

What’s wrong with adrenaline software can’t you just install it or does it cause issues?

[grizzled talon]

as i said i was ok before im running latest drivers

I dont know how to solve this lag whjen i play ive reset even my router

its weird as soon as i seen enemy and shoot it has this bad delay

only on close range

[arctic crag]

Can you describe that delay?

[grizzled talon]

when i hip fire it will shoot one or two bullet then stops and starts again

[arctic crag]

Ohhh wait do you have Logitech mouse?

[grizzled talon]

yes

[arctic crag]

G403?

[grizzled talon]

yes

i need a new 1

lol

[arctic crag]

Your clicks just died

[grizzled talon]

nah ive test the click on line

it works perfectly

i might get a new one

[arctic crag]

It’s not just click man

I mean when you click and hold that click to fire at enemy

It shoots a bullet or 2 then stops right?

[grizzled talon]

yes but when i got on test range with no enemy i dont have any lags

yes it does

it shoots ok

[arctic crag]

Don’t you have any mouse around to test

[grizzled talon]

nah i wil get a new one tho

[arctic crag]

So in test range it works fine

[grizzled talon]

yes

[arctic crag]

You click and it continues to fire

[grizzled talon]

so weird

[arctic crag]

Yes

[grizzled talon]

yep

[arctic crag]

Maybe your internet is just bad?

[grizzled talon]

400 mbps lan

very fast

[arctic crag]

Man speed doesn’t mean a stable connection

[grizzled talon]

yes i know but i neverr had any issue before

[arctic crag]

There is something called packet loss

[grizzled talon]

yes i know

and latency

[arctic crag]

Right now i want you to Join a bf4 match

[grizzled talon]

ok

[arctic crag]

And from bf4 choose show performance

Bf4 setting *

[grizzled talon]

yes graphic one?

[arctic crag]

Yes

And see if it says you have packet loss or not

[grizzled talon]

ok will have a go

packet loss in/out is zero

[arctic crag]

wow

Last thing is try another mouse

[grizzled talon]

crazzzzzy

yea

[arctic crag]

Other than that it’s beyond my knowledge

I’m sorry that’s really weird problem you got

[grizzled talon]

yea i know

dont worry mate my knowledge is big know a lot but not this 1

[arctic crag]

I wish you good luck

[grizzled talon]

ist a pain tho

thanks man

thanks for your help

[arctic crag]

I wanted to change cpu cooler and its becoming a disaster

Might sold this old crap better and get myself a prebuild

[prime jasper]

i guess but iyo do you thing my specs are bad?

[prime jasper]

its okay brother, its okay 🖐️

[covert light]

i think it was also for game pass ultimate

[lime raft]

Biggest mistake i did was order 3090 for 1900 and cancel cause my parents ranted

That card retail is 3k here now

[weak girder]

you will very probably run the gane well

[prime jasper]

Realy?

[weak girder]

well, ofc

sometimes people ask wierd questions here

[prime jasper]

I just want 100fps constna

[weak girder]

that idk

but you will probably get good fps at high settings 1080p

but I guarantee nothing

but I think the fact that it will run on old gen consoles is a pretty good sign

means it wont necessarily cripple your pc

[lime raft]

So atm the pc i use is a 1070strix with a ryzen 5 1500x, would it make sense getting a later gen cpu?

[weak girder]

not necessarily

as long as your're happy with your cpu...

[lime raft]

could use bit more spice for when using vega or so

but its more a back up pc

Biggest issue with it is when you connect 2 screens it flips out

[raw hornet]

@obsidian apex wth is your job? xD

[obsidian apex]

Doordash

[raw hornet]

bruh

[obsidian apex]

lol

[raw hornet]

how old are you, if i may ask?

[obsidian apex]

well just turned 20

i turned 20 in jan

[raw hornet]

BRUH

maybe i should just doordash from now on

[obsidian apex]

lmaooo

[raw hornet]

well, gl with that

[obsidian apex]

I make more than minimum wage

[raw hornet]

nice pc

[obsidian apex]

and dont pay taxes

[raw hornet]

well no shit lmao

[upbeat grotto]

doin a madness

[lime raft]

my issue with new bf is main pc runs on 2 4k monitors

but its only a ryzen 9 3900x with a 2080ti

[weak girder]

"only"

just run it at 1440p on a 4k monitor, its still gonna be great

[lime raft]

could had a 3090 for 1100 less then its current pricing if i not listend to my parents

decided then to wait for 3080ti which is 2800 here so that was a no go as well

actually

[finite rune]

I have a 1650. Will I need to upgrade ?

[lime raft]

3080ti dropped 400 in price now

[warm lynx]

what do you get in bfv right now??

[finite rune]

60+ fps with high

around 60

[warm lynx]

what cpu do you have

[finite rune]

ryzen 7

4000 series

[warm lynx]

yeah i think youd be fine

[finite rune]

Thanks

[warm lynx]

np

[lime raft]

and order a 3080ti

friday

and sell my 1070strix and 2080ti

[warm lynx]

thats pretty good

ive got a 3070 lined up

[weak girder]

for bf 2042 yes

[warm lynx]

you sure?

[weak girder]

your parents are buying you a 3090?

[lime raft]

nah

i mean my current main pc costed me 4k so far

[warm lynx]

what the

4 thousand?

[lime raft]

1tb m.2 gen4 on release was expensive

[weak girder]

my setup cost me 2k overall

[warm lynx]

thats understandable

[lime raft]

i did order pc when ryzen 9 3900x released with a x570 board

the only gen4 ssd was the corsair

so now i got another 2tb gen4 ssd just for games

[warm lynx]

how many games do you have

[lime raft]

there quiet expensive sadly

issue is i clip a lot of stuff and thats in 4k

[warm lynx]

oh

[lime raft]

tbh i am thinking to later get 5900 or 5950 later to go with a 3080ti

[warm lynx]

but big number always equals better!!

[lime raft]

tbh i was running bf4 in 2013 on a pc which people said was overkill 😄
i7-3770K with a msi 780
i even bought a 500gb ssd back then

that one lasted me 5y actually untill gpu went poof

[warm lynx]

the gpu didnt want to live anymore

[lime raft]

'mobo was replaced 2 months before

since that died first and since older socket i had to replace the cpu as well

my full set up might costed me 7-8k

[warm lynx]

just why though

[weak girder]

my first pc, was a 2011 pc with an i5 2400, hd 6970 and 2x4 gb 1833mhz ram It was pretty good back then

[lime raft]

well it was my firs desktop

was 16gb ram as well

[weak girder]

in 2013?

back then, 8 was more than enough to multitask and game

[warm lynx]

i have 8 now

[lime raft]

i have 16 on this

and 32 on my other one which lays open in bits

[weak girder]

I have 16gb ram now

[lime raft]

tbh idk if i could take both pc as one costin my set up since the one i use atm is more for multimedia usage

[weak girder]

full specs of my main pc are i5 10th gen, 1650 ti and 2x8 gb 2933mhz ram.

my second pc is a gtx 1060 3gb, i5 8th gen and 2x8gb ram

[lime raft]

though its prob better then what a lot of people have

[warm lynx]

hp sells a computer with 1.5tb of ram

[weak girder]

ayaah

pretty sure youre confusing it with drive

[warm lynx]

no

[lime raft]

tbh my current goal is getting a 4k monitor 120hz or more

[warm lynx]

its like 100k

[lime raft]

tbh i should be able to get 500ish for a 2080ti second hand no?

like i never oc it or left it running while not using pc

[warm lynx]

its multi processor

[weak girder]

how much money do you fucking have lmao

[lime raft]

i mean i hardly go out and still live at my parents so i not have a lot of expenses

though i prob waste to much on games

[warm lynx]

how many games do you have

[lime raft]

the issue is spend to much moneh in some games

not the amount of games

[warm lynx]

do you do video editing or something

[lime raft]

i did, but then stopped after mobo died

and now i not yet got to install vega on new pc

[warm lynx]

how do you even pay for all these pcs

[weak girder]

^

[lime raft]

get a job?

[warm lynx]

really?

[lime raft]

i mean 2 pc's in 8y?

is not that bad

well technical 3

[warm lynx]

but its 8k dude

[weak girder]

you made it sound like you're getting one pc every few weeks

[warm lynx]

what he said

[lime raft]

most my keyboards and mouses are razer

tbh i have there bf4 editions

[warm lynx]

how many keyboards do you have

[weak girder]

I technically have 3 keyboards lmao

[lime raft]

4

3 black widows

and a huntsman

[weak girder]

one laptop keyboard, one razer blackwidow with green switches, and one 60% membrane keyboard thats lightweight and portable

[weak girder]

but... why?

[warm lynx]

i have the built in keyboard

i really want a blue switch

i dont care if they are really trashy

[weak girder]

heres my full setup

could need some work but Im too lazy

[warm lynx]

ayo i have a nitro 5 too

[sinful mantle]

you should turn the overhead lights down some

[weak girder]

which one?

[sinful mantle]

for full effect

[warm lynx]

2020 i think

[sinful mantle]

well im thinking its to bright

[weak girder]

specs

[warm lynx]

i5 1650 8gb 256gb storage

[weak girder]

not rly tbh, its not over the top rgb with LED's everywhere

[sinful mantle]

well it is noon after all yeah

[weak girder]

I have the 1650 ti, i5 10th gen one and I upgraded the ram to 16

[warm lynx]

cant even run bf1 on this which is a bit suprising

[weak girder]

upgrade the ram

ik your model and its the ram holding you back

add one stick of 8 gigs

[warm lynx]

id love to but i already have a buyer for this

so cant really

[ionic sundial]

anybody know what the Hand plates on the bottom of the SMLE marksmen/marksmen weapons are?

What are they called?

NVM found it

its called a palm rest

[hushed yoke]

did they publish the pc requirements yet?

[lofty light]

Nope

[hushed yoke]

want to know whether my 3700x and 6800xt will run that game on 1440p on 165hz

[hushed yoke]

kk thanks!

[weak girder]

requirements wont tell you shit about that

[prime jasper]

you'll be fine and hz is refresh rate not fps

you probably wont be running it 165fps if thats what you mean

if that rig wont run in fine then the game is bad

[arctic crag]

Let me build a time machine and go see that for you

[lucid night]

Hello there anyone want to argue about digital currinces

Oh well goodbye

[terse steeple]

my eyes

[prime jasper]

Guys please help me when I try to play Battlefield 4 It give me that

invalid license. Explanatory code = Missing DLL: (MSVCP110.dll) error: 0x7E.

imagine

[prime jasper]

it tells you why

[ionic hearth]

@prime jasper your own VPN service is the most safe option

[prime jasper]

vpn services are untrustworthy

[weak forge]

Best vpn??

[dry pike]

I have not seen a VPN review in ages that you could trust. All just recommend the one where they get the biggest commision.

[prime jasper]

i dont like vpns that sponsers like raid shadow legends all the time

[ionic hearth]

You always may run your own on private VPS

[stable mountain]

didn't tunnelbear get outed for not being good?

[dry pike]

That being said, I actually think most of the big VPNs are pretty good.

[prime jasper]

VPN's are technically not private

i mean hosting a vpn is impossible really

i mean

[stable mountain]

a private virtual private server?

[prime jasper]

you would need servers for the vpn

[ionic hearth]

Just a typo :D

[dry pike]

What kind of VPN is best depends on your usecase.

[ionic hearth]

Servers? I already host my own VPN paying almost nothing for server rent and it works fine

[ionic hearth]

Yeah

[prime jasper]

i want vpns that work with games

or

like

websites

[ionic hearth]

Actually mine covers your request

I live in Russia, VPN in Ukraine

[prime jasper]

are we nerds really?

[ionic hearth]

300-400 mbit internet speed, 20 additional ms to latency

[prime jasper]

hey would you use a cloud to store games?

btw

[ionic hearth]

It's just additional point in your connection with data hiding

[dry pike]

First thing to get clear is WHY you want to use a VPN.

[prime jasper]

i dont stuff to track my location

thats why

its the point of vpns

another thing are people trying to make my net go down

[ionic hearth]

Nope, not at all

[prime jasper]

how not?

[ionic hearth]

I don't try to hide from someone, I try use internet without any restrictions by the government

It's my point of VPN usage

[prime jasper]

but thats just you

people dont just want acces to locked/restricted stuff

[dry pike]

they have way more uses than that but sure

[prime jasper]

i mean it changes you ip pretty much

youre

your

not really "changes" but

i mean it could also work for like security i mean

[dry pike]

I know how a VPN works, have set one up on a cloud server a few times even 🙂

[ionic hearth]

Same

[prime jasper]

Thank you so much bro Irepare It you are the best

[dry pike]

If you want to avoid DDOS and just want another IP that isn't yours I would just pick the best performing closest to you or setup your own at a local cloud hosting location. It doesn't sound like the encryption or server security part is that important to you [][][][][][].

Quite the simple usecase though so pretty much everything will do :p

[prime jasper]

why do ppl not know that unexploitable doesnt mean its unexploitable

like a good anticheat can be flawed no matter how good it is

why ask for a new anticheat when anticheats can be easily exploitable no matter hwat

[short pier]

my 1060 goes up to 1949mhz dubiously

[prime jasper]

is it good to have two gpu's?

[weak girder]

in sli?

[prime jasper]

two

gpus

graphics cards

in a pc

is it good

[weak girder]

i n s l i ???

[prime jasper]

idfk but is it good

to have two

instead of one

[weak girder]

IT DEPENDS IF ITS SLI OR NOT

but for the average user, sli or not it's not necessarily usefull

[prime jasper]

look all i want is to upgrade my laptops gtx to an rtx

[weak girder]

you cant

except with an egpu

[prime jasper]

have you heard of external gpu docks?

nvm

i mean laptops have their graphics card either soldered in or internal

i think

[turbid verge]

Look what just arrived

[short pier]

I don;t think that can run 2042

[supple bane]

lol. a 3070 will shit on the new bf

a general rule of thumb ive seen from past bf games is the fps you get on ultra of one game is around what you will get on medium/low on the next

[short pier]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhhh

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr

[supple bane]

[short pier]

how long has that rule of thumb been around

[supple bane]

idk. its not an offical thing. just something i noticed when ive been playing different games

so i get around 80 fps on 1440p ultra. so im confident ill get more than 60 on low

[short pier]

what is your gpu

[supple bane]

2070

[short pier]

just a normal one? not super?

[supple bane]

yeah normal

[short pier]

Oh ok

Well I might need to upgrade. I'll be trying to run 2042 on a mid-range card from 2016 less goo

[supple bane]

1070?

[short pier]

1060 6gb.

[supple bane]

i mean. on 1080p it will probs be fine

[short pier]

Oh nice

cool

[supple bane]

as long as you have a good cpu, id say you could get more than playable frames at 1080 low

[proud trellis]

wait so i would get about 50 on low settings for the new BF as i usually get about 70-80 at 1440p ultra on BFV ?

[supple bane]

no.

[short pier]

oh yeah I have a ryzen 5 3600

[supple bane]

im GUESSING you would get 70-80 on low for bf2042

obviously i cant say for sure

but its what i see when going between past games

[supple bane]

i keep telling you your pc is fine for any games....

[proud trellis]

yeah ik but its because i play 1440p on this card i just dont think i can play many games for some reason

have they even released the specs needed for the new BF ?

[supple bane]

you can play literally anything even at 1440p

i dont think so.

[proud trellis]

oh

if i can get alright FPS on low/med i will be happy but if i can then i doubt i will buy the game

[supple bane]

ive already brought it so i better get good frames heh

[proud trellis]

what edition did you get ?

[supple bane]

standard

[proud trellis]

ahh

i might get it when it comes on sale hopefully a few months after release

if i can run it tho

[supple bane]

a few months?!

you wish lmao

[proud trellis]

do you think it will be a while till it comes on sale ?

[supple bane]

based on how much hype the trailer has made. the chances of it being on sale right away are low

games go on sale because no one is buying them. so the sale attracts more of an audience

but i REALLY dont think they will struggle for sales based on the trailer at least

[proud trellis]

the trailer was so cool this year

i could just wait to see how your game runs couldnt i ? and then get an idea of how much FPS and what settings i can play ?

[storm osprey]

asrock with a poor showing again

[latent light]

Think ASRock has been gimping on Intel boards

[storm osprey]

i cant say anything about amd asrock boards off the top of my head, but asrock the only mb brand i would swear off in general

[latent light]

ASRock is awesome with Ryzen

B550M Pro4 is a solid value board

They unlocked Ryzen 5000 support for first gen AM4 boards though as a beta BIOS

[merry iris]

Ryzen 5800X is my first AMD cpu i ever bought , probably the best decision i'v done

[latent light]

Should of spent $100 more for 5900X tbh

Or 150 less for 5600X

5800X is in a pickle with its pricing

You either get

6 cores for $300, 8 cores for $450 or 12 cores for $550

[compact quartz]

Guys

I think I broke my laptop

[merry iris]

[compact quartz]

[lime raft]

3080ti ordered, now lets hope its runs battlefield well

[merry iris]

dont forget the availability , but anyway for my usage 5800x is exactly what i looked for , Gaming and some multitasking stuff ...with a B550 board and 3600 ram and 3080 its great for 1440p

and prices not exactly were near original prices

[storm osprey]

5800x is an odd one considering pricing

i luckily got my 10700kf for less than a 5600x

[latent light]

i7-10700 with iGPU is $220 at microcenter

[raw hornet]

@prime jasper what kind of games are you looking to run

[prime jasper]

Bf6

[raw hornet]

well, i can run bfv on mid-low settings with above 90fps with my 1660 super and a ryzen 5 2600x OC to 3.8ghz. so if you have something similar, you should be fine. the PC market is a mess right now though. So, i suggest buying a pre-built for niw

[storm osprey]

damn 220 for a 10700 is a hell of a deal

id say 10700k isnt even really worth OC, i think you dont get big gains out of them

[latent light]

RTX 3050Ti performance looking solid for low-end GPU

Equal or faster than GTX 1660Ti but only has 4GB VRAM

4GB just a slap to the face

Nvidia hasn't announced the 3050Ti yet but it has already lost to the RX 6600

[supple bane]

stock cooler?

[raw hornet]

right now yes, still is very cold for any game i play

even on silent, very cold

[supple bane]

wait is that not below the boost without it overclocks ?

[raw hornet]

but my room is always cold even in the summer so

[raw hornet]

wdym?

[supple bane]

yes, the boost clock is 4.2 ghz on a 2600x, you are underclocking it with a set 3.8ghz boost

[raw hornet]

ye, no need to go full force on it

[supple bane]

of course there is lol. you are leaving performance on the table

[raw hornet]

nah

xD

[supple bane]

you are.

unless you are overheating. you should not underclock

[raw hornet]

didn't meant to send that

[supple bane]

besides, you wont be making the life span of the chip any longer because the voltage will stay the same if not be higher

so you are basically making your chip slower for no reason

voltage and temperatures are what lower lifespan, since you said it stays cool thats fine, but its running (i imagine) stock voltages, so the lifespan will be the exact same as what it would be if it boosted to 4.2

[raw hornet]

ye but i just did it automatically, surely i am only down a few frames

[supple bane]

to know how much you are losing. compare the ryzen 5 2600 to the 2600x.

because a 3.8ghz locked boost is basically just a 2600.

probably around 5 fps im guessing,

but why lose 5 fps for no gain what so ever

[raw hornet]

ye ur right

on it rn

thanks

[merry iris]

Dont know about what u saying here on the 5800x , im using PBO 2 with 200mhz boost , boosting to 5050mhz ...pretty neat bin

Pricing wise when i bought 5800x ,the 5900x was way above 100$ then 5800x

[latent light]

Zen 3 bins are so good that AMD isn't gonna make the 5600 non-X

Pretty much all of Zen 3 can hit at least 4.6 GHz

[merry iris]

i come from INTEL only CPUs and the idle temps abit triggered mee

[latent light]

We're getting the APU 5600G later this year for $260

[merry iris]

until i knew how AMD boosting working

[latent light]

Ryzen boost is too aggressive for idle

Especially for people that have stock cooler lol

Kinda strange how a couple years ago going over 70C was unacceptable but now all new CPUs will hit 90C and that's fine

[supple bane]

silicon is getting more durable i guess

[proud trellis]

i dont get how they can withstand up to 90C

[supple bane]

what dont you get about it ?

[proud trellis]

when i feel my GPU at around 75C its hot as fuck

[supple bane]

when you "feel" it, thats probably only around 40c

the core may be at 75c, but the cooler even the heatpipes wont be anywhere close to that

[proud trellis]

oh

[supple bane]

i stuck a probe in my cooler and at 80c it was around 45c i think

[supple bane]

silicon melts at 1400c too. so its basically nothing compared to what the element its self can withstand

obviously silicon in the form of a cpu is much more delicate, but you get the point

[proud trellis]

yup

so say if my gpu is idle and my GPU is at 30 something degrees. what would the heatpipes be at ?

would they be in the -C ?

[supple bane]

no heh

probably around the same

[proud trellis]

ohh

[supple bane]

the reason the core gets so much hotter is because its lots of power concentrated into a space around the size of a toe nail.

but even with an impossible 100% efficient heatpipe, that energy spread out across the size of the entire card is a much lower temperature

[quick locust]

dont touch heatpipes lul

[proud trellis]

like at all ? or just when the gpu is hot ?

[quick locust]

when hot

[supple bane]

takmikill the safety wizard

[quick locust]

your gpu is never under ambient with normal cooling

no part of it is

[supple bane]

its physically impossible actually

[proud trellis]

oh

[supple bane]

einstein will return from the dead to strangle you

[quick locust]

it's fine since it's just short bursts

you're not running full avx load 24/7 for years

refrigerant loops are pretty cool

[latent light]

Nvidia using AMD

[solar kestrel]

anyone know if this is a decent mic

[supple bane]

yes

it is.

its a VERY good mic

[proud trellis]

^

[solar kestrel]

[supple bane]

@storm osprey come simp :)

[solar kestrel]

i mean its only 30 bucks

[proud trellis]

its the mic i use goopy

[solar kestrel]

gonna have to get it

[supple bane]

its the mic i use also

[solar kestrel]

my mic is fucked

oh ok

[storm osprey]

@solar kestrel dont listen to anyone here, thats a shit mic

[solar kestrel]

[supple bane]

he is lying

[storm osprey]

especially granty

[solar kestrel]

auto mod

[supple bane]

you have heard me in voice goopy. and its the mic i use

[storm osprey]

nah, when i did research a couple of years ago that was a clear standout for mics

[supple bane]

although the pink version

cuz

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-power-rangers-pink-gif-8140571

[proud trellis]

why did you get the pink ? was black not available at the time or something

[supple bane]

no it was more expensive

[storm osprey]

pink > black

[supple bane]

:P

it was like 3 pounds more expensive, and i was too cheap to spend that

[proud trellis]

lol

[supple bane]

and as soon as i saw how PINK it really was i regretted it

the photos dont do justice for the P I N K

[proud trellis]

@storm osprey while your here. you say the G502 is a brick.....its light as fuck

[supple bane]

oh no.

i feel a storm brewing

[storm osprey]

dont talk to me rock

[proud trellis]

im being serious tho

its not heavy

[storm osprey]

its literally 2x heavier than a ton of mice now

[supple bane]

so it weighs 2 tons ?

[solar kestrel]

anyone got a boom arm to recomend

that isnt expensive

[supple bane]

the cheapest one on amazon

[storm osprey]

piece of rope

[solar kestrel]

[supple bane]

its something that really doesnt matter

[proud trellis]

the mic comes with a stand thats not to bad i dont think

[supple bane]

as long as it supports the mic, who cares

[storm osprey]

aka piece of rope

[supple bane]

no one gonna give me credit for this ?

:(

[storm osprey]

no

[solar kestrel]

ok

[supple bane]

but it was such a good jooookkkkeeeee

a ton of mice

2x

2 tons

[proud trellis]

no

[supple bane]

[storm osprey]

it was like... a C tier joke

[supple bane]

alright old man

[proud trellis]

nyphon your way to grumpy

old age getting to him

[storm osprey]

you damn zoomers are just too much

[supple bane]

it was a good joke

[storm osprey]

it was aight

[supple bane]

its going down in the record books for me

[storm osprey]

oof

thats... unfortunate

[supple bane]

quality is better than quantity

[storm osprey]

g502 is 3x heavier than the starlight 12...

[proud trellis]

this mouse is not heavy

i think you just have no strength

[storm osprey]

in the realms of mice, it is objectively heavy

[supple bane]

ive always said this

yes. the g502 may be 2x heavier than some mice

[storm osprey]

80-100g is like, STANDARD now

[supple bane]

but taken out of context, 100 grams is nothing on a human scale

[storm osprey]

(g502 weighs 120g without additional wights)

[supple bane]

120 grams then what ever

[proud trellis]

because 20 grams is such a big difference

[storm osprey]

thats 20% additional weight

[solar kestrel]

just bought the mic

[supple bane]

gj

[storm osprey]

nice

[supple bane]

now we can hear your kid voice in ultra high definition

[proud trellis]

@ me when it comes

i need to hear it

[solar kestrel]

voice cracks in 4k HD

[proud trellis]

@solar kestrel you gonna be able to get a new GPU anytime soon so we can play tarkov

[solar kestrel]

funny joke

maby by the end of the summer

[storm osprey]

better joke than grantys

[solar kestrel]

[proud trellis]

u bully that guy

i was just called a kiddo by someone younger than me

:|

[proud trellis]

im younger by like 1 year arent i ?

[supple bane]

its more like 3

[proud trellis]

wait what

[supple bane]

youre in year 9?

[proud trellis]

yeah

[supple bane]

2-3 then, yeah

rn im 16, but ill turn 17 before you turn 15

[proud trellis]

is your birthday this year or is it next year ?

mine is next year in may

[supple bane]

mine is in april

so yes,

[proud trellis]

ahh

[lime raft]

Hmm i forgot to check the power draw on 3080 ti when i ordered

[sinful mantle]

yo

[solid stirrup]

Yo

[sinful mantle]

okay hang on ill copy for you

Image sharpening - OFF

[solid stirrup]

Ok

[sinful mantle]

should work for bf4 and BFV

i get an extra 35 frames and runs smooth as bf3

and that was for my GTX960

[solid stirrup]

OpenGL Rendering GPU?
DSR?
CUDA-GPUs?

[sinful mantle]

OPEN GL -auto select (game settings decide)

CUDA - all

basically those are global settings or in game auto select

when you open your game youll be set to high

[solid stirrup]

For me its global

[sinful mantle]

yeah global

global (all)

[solid stirrup]

Ok, should I apply it per game, too or?

[sinful mantle]

should work same for both

actually I have my bf4 set to ultra and those are my bfv settings but if you want performance that would work for bf4

depending on CPU

weak CPU fast card =higher settings to take load off cpu

the global settings go for everything the program ones for each program or game

[solid stirrup]

Well, for me it's the opposite.

[sinful mantle]

For in game settings:
MOTION BLUR - OFF
WEAPON DOF- OFF
CHROMATIC ABERRATION - OFF
FILM GRAIN - OFF

[sinful mantle]

you have a better CPU than GPU?

what you got?

[solid stirrup]

Xeon E3 1275 v2 and a GTX 560 Ti

[sinful mantle]

both fairl well not very powerful...so yeah go with those settings and see how it runs

and this is for bf4?

[solid stirrup]

Well, for all games. Especially BF1. And if I ever buy BF5.

[sinful mantle]

if you can move up to a better card for bfv that would be the best bet...but for bf4 and bf1 those setting will work fine for your set up

[solid stirrup]

20 minute mark, BF5.

https://youtu.be/ChdkHRtstHE

That is the only example of multiplayer gameplay I could find

[sinful mantle]

so i started with a AMD FX 8350 W/GTX 960 was optimised for bf4...had some stutter with bfv but with those settings everything ran smooth

[quick locust]

Hmm yes seems about right

[solid stirrup]

Does not meet minimum system requirements. How?

[steep cairn]

How can i get my game to run smoother, whilst keeping input lag low?

[solid stirrup]

Im pretty sure Nvidia has a setting for low latency

[onyx dagger]

how to cancel prime gaming membership?

[sinful mantle]

it does yeah

[lime raft]

Laptop with ryzen 9 and 3080, well that a nice table heater

[sinful mantle]

wtf thts a killer machine

who needs that beast?

[molten coral]

everyone

[steep cairn]

Yeah, nvidia uses a low latency setting, but what settings can i change to optimise my game?

[prime jasper]

Show me in game what fps you get sanctuary

[torpid stag]

ram cpu?

@hidden schooner

[prime jasper]

I have a 1660 super and I get around 130 maximum (average 80-110) in bfv, his gpu is only 15-20% more powerful than mine.

He isn't getting 300 fps

[torpid stag]

never yup
