#

firing range and thats it

#

lowest of the lowest settings if even then

prime jasper
#

Firing range I get 120 on optimized settings, there is no way he is getting it unless he is playing on 480p low

dark flame
#

I hope I get at least 15fps with a 3080 rtx, 5800x, 32 gigs of ram, on a SSD.

torpid stag
#

same

#

15 would be pog

prime jasper
#

You'll obviously run it lol

hidden schooner
#

my cpu is 10900kf

prime jasper
#

i7 or i9

hidden schooner
#

and my ram is 4400cl19 oc'd to 4666cl17

dark flame
#

Man I hope so I'm worried it doesn't meet minimum specs lol

hidden schooner
#

10900kf is i9 lul

gleaming dome
#

yeah just say i9 😭

torpid stag
#

32gb sanctuary?

hidden schooner
#

no 16gb

prime jasper
#

you realize that you can get an i7 11700k right, it is isn't obvious when you don't say the number

dark flame
#

Only reason I upgraded to 32 gigs of ram was because of city skylines.

prime jasper
torpid stag
#

your gpu is ass anyways for the rest of the pc mighttttt be able to squeeze 130 with it in bf2042

dark flame
#

It did help other games too especially when heavily modded

prime jasper
#

I'm interested if my i5 9400f and 1660 super will run the game at 60fps

#

It runs bfv pretty well

dark flame
#

Bester it will do great. I'm more worried about my build. Lol

prime jasper
#

What's yours

#

Oh nvm

torpid stag
#

hahaha

dark flame
#

Lol

prime jasper
#

Lol

silver vine
#

@hidden schooner picture it in the nvidia panel

dark flame
#

I upgraded for cyberpunk but then it sucked at launch so here we are.

silver vine
#

Much easier

prime jasper
#

@hidden schooner is a no show

hidden schooner
#

Wut

prime jasper
#

@hidden schooner Show us in game benchmarks

#

Use msi afterburner

silver vine
#

I have an i5 8500, 1660, 16gb ram

#

Very good

hidden schooner
#

ye which game map etc

prime jasper
solid stirrup
torpid stag
#

nah only thing im worried about how the doubled player count is gonna influence overall game performance in bf2042

prime jasper
torpid stag
#

not worried about the graphics at all

silver vine
#

@torpid stag it is going to play like warzone maybe

torpid stag
#

meh lock it to 140 and up i go

silver vine
#

@prime jasper that guy is just a liar

torpid stag
#

gonna be enough i guess

prime jasper
silver vine
#

Anyways

hidden schooner
prime jasper
#

Go to the firing range

silver vine
prime jasper
#

Have msi afterburner open

#

with fps

#

or steam overlay

#

then take a screenshot

torpid stag
#

@prime jasper warzone is just as demanding as battlefield if not even more

prime jasper
torpid stag
#

same

silver vine
#

@prime jasper I am probably going with an AMD on my next PC

prime jasper
silver vine
#

Buying a 12 core 24 thread processor

torpid stag
#

warzone is absolutely cpu and ram bound

silver vine
torpid stag
#

on a 3080 and 8700k optimized balls to the wall here clocked at 5.2 with 4000mhz cl16

silver vine
#

Will upgrade in a couple of yeara

torpid stag
#

and getting 150avg

silver vine
#

I have no money for a 3080

#

I mean how much does it cost?

prime jasper
#

@hidden schooner

torpid stag
#

lets not talk about the price

#

a kidney.

silver vine
#

@torpid stag actually, how much is it

torpid stag
#

1500€?

#

1600€?

#

2000$

#

got my 3080 for 860 back in december tho

sinful mantle
#

go to @brazen jewellogy and copy nvidia control panel settings I dropped there

silver vine
#

@torpid stag oh I can buy that, but I'm buying a macbook soon

#

I thought it was like 5k or some shit

torpid stag
#

u gonna try playing games on that macbook?

silver vine
#

@torpid stag programming

torpid stag

then dont mention it

silver vine
#

Editing

torpid stag
#

lol

silver vine
#

Eh

#

I heard good stuff about the M1 chip

torpid stag
#

its good yup

#

but not available for custom builds

#

so idc

silver vine
#

We are still waiting for the specs of

#

@hidden schooner

#

Man got lost

torpid stag
#

didnt he say he was on an i9 10900kf and 4600mhz cl17 ram

silver vine
#

I average in BF5 at around

#

100 fps

silver vine
#

But ye

torpid stag
#

nope

hidden schooner
#

I already told my specs, 10900kf, 4666cl17, 2060

silver vine
#

@hidden schooner but show us the specs

torpid stag
#

search framechasers on youtube @silver vine

#

he'll teach you alot about going for pure gaming perf

#

in 2021

silver vine
torpid stag
#

totally is in warzone paired with the correct ram

#

its the matter of which game ur playing

silver vine
#

I'll look into it

#

Thanks

#

I also need to buy an M.2 thing

#

They are cheap as hell

torpid stag
#

yea

silver vine
#

And faster than SSDs

torpid stag
#

before prices start rising again

silver vine
#

I saw a 500 GB one for 50 euros

#

From Kingston

#

May buy that

torpid stag
#

even crucial

silver vine
#

Kingston is good

#

I have their SSD

#

I have ram from crucial

#

Good brands

torpid stag
#

just make sure to buy b-die ram if ur gonna buy some new ram

silver vine
#

Nah

lime raft
#

M.2 cheap thonkingMGB

hidden schooner
silver vine
#

16 is enough for me

hidden schooner
#

here is ur specs u so much wanted to see

lime raft
#

My m.2 was 400

torpid stag
#

@silver vine what speeds ur current ram at?

silver vine
#

@torpid stag 3200

silver vine
torpid stag
#

@hidden schooner ur insane to run that chip at 1.47 volts daily

silver vine
#

I can only see RTX 2060

hidden schooner
torpid stag
#

half a year and u gonna experienc degredation on that chip

#

trust

#

im running mode 5 LLC

hidden schooner
#

its not that voltage underload

#

and cpu z gives inaccurate reading

torpid stag
#

i know enough about oc

hidden schooner
#

need VR VOUT sensor for acccurate cpu voltage

#

which u can see in hwinfo

torpid stag
#

^^

#

lets talk about ur chip in half a year again

#

even if ur running 1.44vs in the end

hidden schooner
#

its below 1.4 under load

torpid stag
#

wtf

hidden schooner
#

1.38v

silver vine
#

I didn't overclock anything

torpid stag

what kind of llc r u running

#

How can I improve the performance of a GPU ? I have an Nvidia GTX 560 Ti

#

Is there anything that I can do

hidden schooner
#

overclock

silver vine
solid stirrup
#

I can't. The powersupply isn't good

torpid stag
#

heard that razer game booster is good @solid stirrup

silver vine
#

._.

hidden schooner
silver vine
#

True

hidden schooner
#

it shows my gpu, ram and cpu

solid stirrup
silver vine
#

I agree with your statement

torpid stag
#

watch a tutorial or 2 on it

#

and ur good to go

solid stirrup
#

I already have it installed but the powersupply's gonna burst if I overclock

heady pawn
hidden schooner
#

game boosters are a meme

torpid stag
solid stirrup
#

Well...

#

GameBoosters just clean up the RAM by a bit and kill processes iirc

heady pawn
#

Do you have to buy something Razer?

silver vine
#

@heady pawn no

solid stirrup
#

I have 16GB of RAM, and not too many demanding processes in the background, and no.

torpid stag
silver vine
#

Mmmmm

solid stirrup
#

Can anything else besides overclocking fix the GPU performance, or at least improve it by a bit.

silver vine
#

Yes

#

@solid stirrup buy a new GPU

solid stirrup

Do I have the money necessary? No

Idk

torpid stag
#

by a few im talking 5% at max

silver vine
solid stirrup

Is it even possible to do if I have a blower graphics card?

silver vine
solid stirrup

Usually it's at 70-80C when doing gaming

silver vine
hidden schooner
#

who asked for my bfv fps again?

#

and said 2060 cannot do above 240fps

torpid stag
#

meh tahts firing range

hidden schooner
#

he asked for firing range

torpid stag
#

not impressive at all am getting around 480 there

silver vine
#

Why tf do you need more than the fpa that your monitor can output

#

You cannot see them

#

It is fucking useless

solid stirrup
#

Is 40-60FPS in combat in BF5 playable?

torpid stag
#

firing range does not represent ingame performance in the closest my guys

silver vine
#

@solid stirrup 60 yes

hidden schooner
#

higher fps will reduce input lag regardless of monitor refresh rate

silver vine

I want to

Nah. The max limit on her

#

But she cloxks that high from time to time

#

Energy bill goes brrrrrr

solid stirrup
#

Is buying aftermarket coolers for my GPU a good idea

torpid stag
#

i see, the 30 series likes to clock high by itself seeing similar numbers if the gpu is not under 100% load

plucky token
#

Depends on what you have

torpid stag
#

even though their prices exploded lately :/

solid stirrup
#

Well, the 580 is about 150 euros for 8GB

#

It is and it was

plucky token
torpid stag
#

its goooooood tho for what the price was before the mining craze

solid stirrup
#

For 90€ I can get a 2GB 1030

plucky token
#

No

#

Just no

solid stirrup
#

Why not, it's an upgrade?

torpid stag
#

is the 1030 even an upgrade from the 560ti ? xd

solid stirrup
#

Somewhat of an upgrade, yeah

plucky token
#

This thing is not able to play anything new

solid stirrup
#

RX 550 2GB?

plucky token
#

At least 4gb in modern days

torpid stag
#

usually yes atleast 4gb but hes on 1280x1024

#

he can get along with 2gbs even

plucky token
#

Hmm

solid stirrup
#

I can play even on non native resolutions, so...

plucky token
#

Would save up more to get something decent before getting something thats gets replaced after a year

torpid stag
#

+1 go for the rx580 trust

plucky token
#

Saved up after the 1080 launch for the 3080

torpid stag
#

its the perfect 1080p@60hz card

solid stirrup
#

I don't usually play/buy modern titles uneless I'm extremely hyped for that cerain title, such as BF 2042

torpid stag
#

2x the performance just INSANE

solid stirrup
#

750 Ti? Is it any good?

torpid stag
#

maybe just about enough for bf2042

solid stirrup
#

Damn how is that card still holding up

storm osprey
#

750 ti? ehhh

solid stirrup
#

Even the 1050Ti didn't last that long(with the ability to run games decently well)

storm osprey
#

750 ti on bfv gets like 45 fps at 1080p low

plucky token
#

700 series wont get any drivers anymore

digital hill
#

Question how bad would a quadro 1100m be for gaming.

solid stirrup
#

Very bad

molten coral
#

Personally I wouldn't buy a 7 year old card

solid stirrup
#

Quadros don't perform well in games

plucky token
solid stirrup
#

Anyways, I just want to buy a GPU that still gets drivers, and is like 2x better than my current card

digital hill
#

Its a good old thinkpad w541

plucky token
#

For office, its fine

solid stirrup
torpid stag
#

think the 950 2gb is just about 90

solid stirrup
#

Here they're like 150, idk, its crazy.

hidden schooner
#

I got a spare 1050 lying around that used to be in my brothers pc

solid stirrup
#

Nice

weak girder
solid stirrup
#

Does the 2GB RX 550 perform better?

torpid stag
#

suggest smth else at the price point of 100 which is not shitty xd

weak girder
solid stirrup
#

I can either get the 1030 or the 550 for 90-95€.

weak girder
#

much more worth it

hidden schooner
#

just save up the money u got 4 months until release

#

get something better

torpid stag
#

rx 550 has faster gddr vram

solid stirrup
#

Idk will I get used to the AMD's bullshit drivers

weak girder

I will see what I can do.

weak girder
#

yeah the 1030 REALLY sucks now

torpid stag
#

fyi hes on 1280x1024 @weak girder

hidden schooner
#

wat his cpu?

#

more cpu bound with lower res

torpid stag
#

dude hes not even trying to play above 60hz

This. I have a Xeon E3 1275 v2(on par with the i7 3770)

weak girder

torpid stag
#

especially for 60hz....

weak girder

the i7 3770 is ok

#

its 4c 8t

torpid stag

64p easily playable at 60

idk about 128

128p? Kappa

thats... a rough gaming experience

Alright, thanks for helping me out.

sure thing man and happy gpu hunting

so razer went from 144hz for £700 and then now they made a 165hz for £800 lol

Hi this is your local noob just want to let you know that battlefield 4 HATES G-SYNC.

It's on & working..... Very nicely, but had to specifically switch bf4 to a fixed refresh rate instead of using "gsync compatible".

That is all. Have a nice week. 😋

prime jasper

is an eGPU worth it when you cant replace you GPU?

prime jasper
#

I have a laptop, its killa

What specs?

#

Including the GPU

#

@prime jasper

prime jasper

#

im not home

prime jasper
sly salmon
#

hello

solar kestrel
#

its a solid card

#

should last you till the end of the drought

#

wait nvm

#

i mean depends on what eGPU you get

prime jasper
solar kestrel
#

yah

prime jasper
solar kestrel
#

but with the current market it depends on the availability and if its inflated to much

prime jasper
#

i belive

prime jasper
solar kestrel
#

no

prime jasper
#

how come?

solar kestrel
#

They are "mobile" but to use them you have to find an outlet nearbye if you plan to game

#

if your not home your usually stuck with some form of dog piss internet

#

it overheats often

#

those are my main reasons

#

now if you arnt gaming it depends on what for

#

a chromebook is usefull just not as goood as pc

#

a gaming laptop is useful but you tend to have to always be near an outlet and it gets hot

#

those are my main reasons

prime jasper
solar kestrel
#

i dont use water cooling

#

but i still get better airflow then any laptop will

#

simple because its bigger and has more space inside

prime jasper
#

i might get an acer pc but uh

#

i dont have time building stuff, laptops are probably better than prebuilt right? nowadays prebuilt pcs are often garbage and scummy

solar kestrel
#

really depends on the prebuilt

#

and the brand

#

there are some decent offers but if your willing to wait building a pc takes like 2 hours

#

not a time consuming thing to do at all

prime jasper
#

i mean

solar kestrel
#

if i had the option between a laptop and a prebuilt i would get prebuilt

prime jasper
#

well

#

where would you get ur prebuilts?

warm lynx

local equivelant of bestbuy, or one of the few shops that still build them themselves

it sounds sus

you check out the site at all?

i have never heard of that site

aight i was just saying there are some good builds on that site

#

but i can see how it might be sus

prime jasper
#

shit and full of fake stuff

#

wait

#

especially when the market*

#

who tf buys pcs from walmart seriously?

warm lynx
#

someone must

#

can dell ever get a tower with decent airflow

stable mountain
#

it's like when you were thrown to death with alienware towers being the best pre-build like a decade ago

prime jasper
#

i never likes it

#

i mean acer would probably do 2x better

warm lynx
#

have you seen the inside of the new alienware desktop

prime jasper
#

why should i?

#

I loved Acer and Asus, they are both good companies that produce computers

warm lynx
#

a sus 😳

prime jasper
#

Razer is fine, its not bad

prime jasper
#

hp are too cheap

warm lynx
#

the new alien ware is so small and has like no vents

like school hp computers can break when misalining their usb ports

i accidently tried plugging in a usb the wrong way and the computer shutted down

# warm lynx why dont people just use a 60hz

I used to say the same until I tried to play FPS at 120Hz and wow
My kills score jumped from 10-20 with luck to 35-50s normal days
Your internet needs to help as well of course but the extra fps does change everything.
I have a 4K 60fps QLED TV, I prefer to play at 2k 120fps, so much fun and you do see the difference.

quick locust
#

remember, 2K is around 1080p

earnest vault
#

2k is 2k, 1080p is 1080p
Unless you are talking about those cheap monitor/TV that you cannot tell the difference. You can tell watching on a QLED HDR Tv

quick locust
#

yeah i just meant 2K is 1080p (or rather close to it)

#

not 1440p which people sometimes mistake

#

the K system is stupid anyway

earnest vault
#

yeah

#

the correct is 1440p

quick locust
#

But I use 1440p 165Hz (Gsync) or 120 (ULMB)

#

2K = 1080p

#

the 2K refers to horizontal, so around 1080p

earnest vault
#

I currently play my XSX on my 1440p 144hz monitor

quick locust
#

nice

earnest vault
#

I am looking forward to grab a 4k 120Hz QLED this Black Friday 😛

quick locust
#

my tv sucks but my monitor is nice

#

😛

earnest vault
#

hahahaha

#

I moved to the monitor coz I wasn't letting my partner watch her things 😅
I play on a 27 Curved monitor and she took over my 65" Tv

#

how fair is that?

#

🧐

#

hahah

quick locust
#

😛

ionic hearth
# quick locust 2K = 1080p

K is abstract square of 1080p, no? 4k is 2080p cos it doubles vertical and horizontal which is 4 time bigger. 2k is 1440p cos it multiplies sides by square root of 2 which is 2 times bigger

quick locust
#

No

stable mountain
#

the K is closely related to horizontal resolution

#

2048x1080 is 2K

quick locust
#

2K = around 2000 horizontal

#

4K around 4000

stable mountain
#

4K is 3840 x 2160

quick locust
#

Which if you keep same aspect, 4K is four times the pixels of 2K

stable mountain
#

but saying "i got me that new 3.8K monitor" isn't quite that marketable

ionic hearth
#

Technically 1440p is 2.5k?

quick locust
#

It's not a cinema resolution

#

But yeah it would be

quick locust
#

And the p is a bit obsolete now since who uses interlaced now

stable mountain
#

TV?

#

somehow

ionic hearth
#

Thanks guys

#

Now it's clear

stable mountain
#

it's still a pain in the ass when you're looking for bluerays and you find out they up scaled them from 1080i

quick locust
#

Yeah

#

Luckily not much is interlaced nowadays

quick locust
#

So not twice as much

#

Ultra wide 1080p can be exact twice as much

#

If 32:9

orchid folio
#

How many gbs should I keep free for my hdd?

#

If I even need to

quick locust
#

HDDs don't slow down as they get full unless you use swap on it

#

If you use one as OS drive then keep some of it free for that

orchid folio
quick locust
#

They do get slower as they get near to full

orchid folio
#

Aha..

quick locust
#

Keep some of it free

orchid folio
#

how much? like 30gb?

quick locust

Alright then, thanks for the help!

warm lynx

even with this i still cant get 30fps

sinful mantle

did you go up in settings to high?...you have a i5 and a 1650 your card should taaake most of the load

maiden gulch

What are good specs to run bf2042

ionic hearth
quick locust
#

there'll be an open beta this summer, so you might test it there

and you set those setting via nvidia control panel?

warm lynx

yeah

lucid night

A SSD can not slow down endless damaged

#

It is not possible

quick locust
#

it can, test it

sinful mantle
warm lynx
#

yea

sinful mantle
#

well damn man i know your i5 isnt that much slower then my FX 8350 and you have a 1650 I only have a 1060....so it's gotta be your 8 gigs of ram

warm lynx
#

i guess

#

im gettin a new build soon so its not that bad

sinful mantle
#

its gotta be

#

yeah for sure

warm lynx
#

im still amazed that i managed to get the peacekeeper on this thing

sinful mantle
#

its really not a terribly bad machine...its just ram shy

warm lynx
#

i remember when i first got bf1 i had a whopping 17fps

quick locust
#

fx is horrible in single thread, his i5 is better there

in fact i ran bf4 on ultra with my FX8350 W/gtx 960 and 8 gigs ram

Morning guys quick question about v-sync.. I have an AOC 144hz monitor running at 1440p a 5700XT card, do you recommend setting ON or OFF?

sinful mantle
#

it runs bfv smooth with custom nvidia settings and 16 gigs ram

warm lynx
sinful mantle
#

well bf4 is an older game

warm lynx
#

yeah but its such a drop

sinful mantle
#

my machine is bf4 optimized have no problem running it on ultra but run high for bfv

warm lynx
#

i cant even play the single player bf1 on this at 30+

grizzled talon
#

I hve this bloody lag when shooting enemy it might b that on BF4

sinful mantle
#

get another 8 gigs ram that should smooth things out see your rendering a lot of stuff if you run out of ram, memory goes to Hard drive...and thats not good

warm lynx
#

why does everyone hate vsync

grizzled talon
#

most of users dont use it

#

I will keep it off from now on it was always on

near rune
#

When using vsync

sinful mantle
warm lynx
#

if i dont use vsync i get horrible screen tearing

grizzled talon
sinful mantle
#

Yep

near rune
#

Ofcourse

#

I get stable 200fps on bf4

grizzled talon
#

even on a v-sync monitor?

near rune
#

With medium to high settings

#

Theres no vsync monitors

sinful mantle
#

i get 60 frames on ultra

grizzled talon
#

free sync meant soz

near rune
#

Vsync just locks the fps to your refresh rate

#

Gsync costs alot so doubt many people have that

grizzled talon
#

ye i no I'm just trying to understand why I have this damn lag on bf4 when shooting an enemy, my ping is fine on EU servers and im on LAN with 400mpbs could be vsync setting messing about? I also ordered a new mouse my old g403 might start stutter

near rune
#

Is it fps lag or server lag?

#

Like does your fps go down when shooting

sinful mantle
#

you mentioned your GPU what's your CPU and ram count?

grizzled talon
#

Zero packet loss and latency about 40ms so thats all good

sinful mantle
#

well anyway check this developement

i can say i have always been a nvidia user i wanted to try an amd card and cpu but i had problems

I want to build ( or buy from PCS) one with 32gb of RAM, 5600X and 3070
Whats your opinion on these specs?

And what mobo should I pair them with

quick locust
#

A decent B550 board

#

Or X570

#

Depending on what you can find for budget

grizzled talon

3070 pricey

weak girder
grizzled talon

agree

neon coral

I want 32gb for flight simulators ( DCS and MSFS)

weak girder
#

but Im not sure

neon coral
#

I have 16gb of ram and the multiplayer in DCS lags for me and some people told me its because of the RAM

weak girder
#

but otherwise, your specs are good (perhaps a bit pricey) but thats your call

neon coral

Thanks for the tips, I might make some changes

leaden swift

i wonder what the recommended specs for 2042 would be

grizzled talon

soon we will find out

upgraded to a new card a few months ago, hopefully will be able to hit 165fps

grizzled talon

which card ?

leaden swift

3070

grizzled talon
#

lovely

#

ya will b ok with that tho

weak girder
grizzled talon
#

yea most likely

weak girder
#

based on the graphics seen in the gameplay trailer, I think this could be close enough, but then again it could be higher and may not be accurate at all

grizzled talon
#

yep agree

supple bane
#

when i play that game my gpu is at 100%, ram is at 100%, vram is at 100% and cpu core 0 is at 100%

#

idk if getting 32gb ram give a performance improvement, but i can say that when i play it i often max out my 16gb

Guys do u think that Battlefield 2042 is gonna be optimized good for gtx 1050 and above since I want to play high graphic settings with raytracing at medium and dlss on with 50fps+ and only 78°C max?

supple bane
#

you cant run ray tracing or dlss on a gtx card

rough gale
supple bane
#

then no it wont

#

because a gtx card cant do those things lol

rough gale
#

I have a rtx card

supple bane
#

then you are fine

rough gale
#

still not sure since I dont want my gpu to reach max temperature and only achieve less than 45fps with the named settings

supple bane
#

78c isnt max temperature

#

its 95

rough gale
supple bane
#

thats hot. but still within spec

#

mine reaches that sometimes too

rough gale
#

idk sorry for being worried but I would want to play with same specs as the guy in the gameplay trailer if they dont downgrade the game lol

supple bane
#

that was likely top end hardware

#

if you have an rtx card you dont need to worry about performance at all

#

what gpu is it exactly?

rough gale
#

rtx 2070 super

supple bane
#

wtf are you worried about lol

#

thats more than enough

rough gale
#

what do u think what settings can I play without my gpu burning lol. btw I think we already talked to each other in the past shortly before the gameplay trailer dropped. the gameplay trailer just made me even more unsure

supple bane
#

well the settings you use wont change the temperature

#

this is a common misconception it seems

#

once a gpu is at 100% load thats it, it doesnt get hotter

#

you could play at 1440p low and your gpu would be at 100% load. then going to ultra wont make it hotter

rough gale
supple bane
#

yes?

#

well what do you mean by limits ?

#

what type of limits ?

rough gale
#

well if it is at 1440p and low settings, changing it to ultra wouldnt be possible since it goes beyond your vram and so u have to oc, right?

supple bane
#

again thats not how that works

#

if you run out of vram and are trying to play at even higher settings, your card doesnt just go welp get lost kid and shuts off

#

you just get less fps

stable mountain
#

GPU limits for the die are close to 100 celcius these days i think before degrading

supple bane
#

again, once a card is 100% utilised, it cant get any hotter, doesnt matter if you change settings. same goes for vram

rough gale
supple bane
#

sigh

#

why would your pc shutdown ?

#

let me say this one more time.

#

if you go and play tomb raider or something. your card will be 100% utilised. right?

#

that means its giving everything its got. and thats a good thing, its what you want.

#

then going to bf2042, or even like a game that releases 20 years in the future, the card still runs at 100%

#

it still draws the same amount of power

#

it still runs at the same temperature

#

the game and the settings dont effect the physical properties of the card like temperature

rough gale
#

but I couldnt play at high graphic settings anymore since in the future it would reach 100% way earlier before setting everything to ultra or high

supple bane
#

yes it would

#

but my point is

#

the fps changes. the temperature doesnt.

#

on bf2042 if you try play at ultra you may only get 50 fps. but your temperature would be the exact same as if you were playing on medium and getting 70

#

those frame rates are just examples ^

rough gale
weak girder
supple bane
#

you can make a card cooler by lowering its usage

#

but you cant make it hotter, once it reaches 100% usage thats it, thats its maximum temperature

#

regardless of the game, resolution or graphics settings

#

my point is. stop worrying, your card is smarter than you think. it knows what everything is doing and why its doing it. and if it thinks what its doing is harmful then it will slow its self down

#

it knows a hell of a lot more about its self than you know about it :P

rough gale
supple bane
#

if those are the temperatures you get in cod. those will be the temperatures you get in 2042

#

as ive said probably 4 or 5 times now

rough gale
weak girder
#

how do you think a card can get hotter when its already at 100%?

#

its just impossible

supple bane
#

idk, its making me want to rip my hair out lol

#

it seems to simple to me, so simple that i cant explain it

weak girder
#

^

rough gale
weak girder
#

its used at its full potential, it cant get over its full potential unless you overclock, which is a different story

rough gale
weak girder
#

its already fucking maxed out

#

cant get hotter

stable mountain
#

are all 100%'s the same tho?

supple bane
#

when the card says its at 100% usage

#

that means its going to be drawing 100% of its tdp

quick locust
#

you'd want it to be near 100%

supple bane
#

so for the 2070s it would be 225w power draw i believe

rough gale
supple bane
#

but thats the maximum power the card is allowed to draw down to a driver level

quick locust
#

also all 2070 coolers are tested and all pcbs have to follow nvidia min spec

supple bane
#

so changing the graphics doesnt make it draw more power

#

because its already at its max

#

so it doesnt get hotter

quick locust
#

not driver but vbios

weak girder
quick locust
#

you want near 100% gpu, cpu below 100 (all core)

rough gale
weak girder
# rough gale why?

because 100% cpu means your system is gonna slow down a lot since the cpu won't be able to function at normal speeds

weak girder
rough gale
rough gale
quick locust
#

but yeah a gpu should always be able to run 100% when stock without issue

#

no nothing happens

#

it just runs at full usage

weak girder
#

100% gpu = more fps

rough gale
#
