technology

[prime jasper]

Yes

If the risk of failure is so high, stop blowing so much cash on games

it's simple

[storm osprey]

ironically, as long as you have an ounce of self control, you can play a ton of (free) games, with free content going forward as long as you dont pay

[prime jasper]

Okay that doesn't matter

has nothing to do with the topic

This is about AAA game prices

[storm osprey]

you literally just said they are "producing products that ignore financial realities and then tries to rectify its broken business model on the backs of the customers."

my response is directly in line to that..

[prime jasper]

Yeah AAA publishers are

F2P is different

[storm osprey]

no...

[arctic crag]

You guys are like Xbox and Sony or Samsung and Apple lol

[storm osprey]

does apex and warzone just not exist all of a sudden?

[prime jasper]

Yeah they do, but they are highly monetized to recuperate costs

[storm osprey]

probably the 2 go to "greedy pubs"

[storm osprey]

"ironically, as long as you have an ounce of self control, you can play a ton of (free) games, with free content going forward as long as you dont pay"

[arctic crag]

Actually both have shity servers

[prime jasper]

So why should a $60 dollar game that you said should really be $70 have the same amount of MTX as free games

[red ingot]

hello frens

[storm osprey]

yagman!

[molten coral]

Because they can earn extra cash?

[red ingot]

i am back from the dead

[storm osprey]

i never said that they should have the same amount...

[prime jasper]

Okay so see now you are just blatantly defending corporate greed

[prime jasper]

But just a minute ago you were defending MTX in paid games

[red ingot]

what have i missed

[prime jasper]

Little hypocritical

[storm osprey]

not at all if you have reading comprehension and critical thinking

[molten coral]

I mean what do you want me to say? I'm only saying what is logical.

[prime jasper]

It's logical from a corporate investors perspective sure

[storm osprey]

we are just consumers, we individually decide what is worth our money and what is not

this is all just logical shit dude, idk why you are so confused about it

[prime jasper]

"guybosssigmamalegrinder — Today at 1:00 PM
if you are already paying for the game, there is no reason to have mtx

Nyphon — Today at 1:04 PM
yes there is.."

[storm osprey]

because that paid for game can provide more content outside of the original price

seriously... is this hard for you to understand?

[red ingot]

it might be, considering DLC was a banned term in BF once upon a time

[prime jasper]

If I am already paying $60 dollars why should they add tons of paid content to make up for stuff I already paid for

simple answer is reducing budget

[red ingot]

good ol beta days when the chat filter blocked DLC & White Man

[molten coral]

I'm kinda hoping they bring back premium passes etc but I doubt that will ever happen again.

[storm osprey]

like explained before, 60 dollars now is already getting you more than before

[prime jasper]

Not really

[storm osprey]

now if you go around thinking 1 map in 2010 is the same as 1 map in 2021 then you are just dumb

[prime jasper]

Okay how is that the fault of the consumer

Hello

[storm osprey]

youre at fault as a consumer if you think things are 1:1 at a face value like that and use that scenario to claim companies are greedy when its really you

[prime jasper]

maybe if they didn't blow billions of dollars on "realistic" graphics they could actually make an artistic game for a lot cheaper with a lot smaller margin of failure

[storm osprey]

realistic graphics in bf franchise is a selling point for me

[prime jasper]

Okay cool

[storm osprey]

i assume thats a lot of people as well

[prime jasper]

doesn't matter

[storm osprey]

so to drop that would be stupid

now if there was another game to come out with lesser graphics and a cheaper price thats cool

doesnt mean its gonna work (think ww3)

[prime jasper]

Well yeah at this point it would because the market is in a bit of a graphics cold war right now

"best graphics = best game"

when in reality all it does is look pretty and greatly inflate budgets

[storm osprey]

sadly good graphics is a huge point to a lot of people, especially casuals

[prime jasper]

Look at nintendo

None of their games look that great from a graphics standpoint

yet casuals love them

and their budgets are a lot smaller

[storm osprey]

nintendo is hardly an example of anything other than what nintendo can do

they are clearly an outlier

[prime jasper]

What about all the indie games

with small budgets

[storm osprey]

i mean ffs, they hardly have sales on even games 5 years old and no one says anything

[prime jasper]

and simplistic graphics

[storm osprey]

how many casuals are playing indies?

i think you forgot your point...

[red ingot]

so who's hyped af for 2042

[storm osprey]

lol yagman comes back from like a year absence and im stuck talking to a wall

[prime jasper]

minecraft, terraria, cuphead, fnaf, stardew valley, etc etc

even among us

[storm osprey]

congrats, you managed to list the handful of indies that broke into the mainstream

[prime jasper]

theres a lot more than that

do you really expect me to list every indie game with a big audience or what

[storm osprey]

and i say mainstream lightly, because i cant ask random people on the streets if they know terraria and expect a lot of people to know it

[storm osprey]

my point is, youre using an example of what, less than 1% of indies to try to prove a point?

[red ingot]

id honestly only consider Minecraft mainstream tbh

[storm osprey]

^

[red ingot]

the others.. popular, yes, but not necessarily mainstream

to me, mainstream means my parents who are technologically inept as fuck have heard of it

/non gamers

[storm osprey]

yea

[red ingot]

non gamers probably a better term to use

[prime jasper]

gamer is such a cringe word holy fuck

[red ingot]

like everyone knows what call of duty is, battlefield, etc. those are mainstream

[prime jasper]

I wish I was a non gamer

end me

[red ingot]

ok bye

u can leave this server at any time

[storm osprey]

no jokes about suicide

[prime jasper]

That wasn't a joke about suicide

[storm osprey]

what is your interpretation of "end me"?

[prime jasper]

To die

in anyway

[red ingot]

-.-

[prime jasper]

actually it would be more like murder

[red ingot]

well

[prime jasper]

since I said "end me"

[red ingot]

now we're way off topic

sooo

[prime jasper]

I hate technology

[toxic zealot]

i would like to play it prob

[red ingot]

im actually so hyped ngl

i just really hope they bring back community servers :/

they do that they can have all my monies

problem with every game is eventually gets overrun with hackers.. but at least community servers - community can police itself

plus - when official servers get taken down - community can still run their own at least

[toxic zealot]

lmao

if they dont

im not even buying i t

thats why i wait for people to test it out

if this game doesnt keep good things from bf4

it cant beat bf4

[red ingot]

yeah

:/

i am hyped that they're bringing back AI tho

gud times in BF2

[toxic zealot]

i dont think they will

wasnt ai in bf2 kinda trash tho

dont remember

or was it bf vietnam

[red ingot]

it was pretty good

Vietnam I didn't play too much so I can't remember

BF2 was kind of my go-to

[sacred vortex]

The only reason I’m getting Xbox series X instead of series S is the disc reader as that’s how I’ll play bf1

[plain stag]

that cooler is just lol

its insane how lazy they are that they literally reuse an intel bracket and an intel cooler for a ryzen cpu xD

i expected it to be bolted to the chassis like the G5, kinda disappointed it wasnt xD

[plucky token]

Dell in a Nutshell

[plain stag]

a couple of years ago a friend of mine bought an alienware system

he couldnt be bothered to make a system so he went the lazy route

a few months later he bought a second 1080ti to run sli in that dell system, he couldnt even figure out how to get sli to work lol

so his second gpu was just sitting in his drawer for months

even tho i advised him not to buy a second 1080ti cuz sli was useless, i told him to buy an AC for his room cuz whenever it was summer, he had a fan blowing on him and you can guess how thats like to listen throughout the summer on teamspeak

[toxic zealot]

could as well spend that on good water cooled system

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

[midnight crypt]

pretty sure a 1640 aint a thing

thank you zepplin

Upcoming i9-12900K around 25% faster than Ryzen 9 5950X in single-thread score

[slim depot]

WHO IS GHOST PINGING ME ACROSS CHANNELS

[toxic zealot]

Since when

[supple bane]

well yeah, its 2 generations newer

the 5950x released at the same time as 10th gen

[plucky token]

there is a kappa

[plain stag]

and its still an alleged increase of 25%, we'll see about that when it actually launches

[turbid verge]

cinebench normally is good to understand how good is for rendering

not really to test if its good for games or data processing

so even if said cpu is good for rendering doesnt mean it will be as good for gaming

[plain stag]

but honestly, it would be a big L for intel if its not faster than 5950x or its a marginal increase

[turbid verge]

depends the price

if its as faster but cheaper

[plain stag]

either way, its good to see competition again

and seeing them one upping each other each year

[turbid verge]

indeed

[digital hill]

https://www.windowscentral.com/amazons-new-world-bricking-rtx-3090-graphics-cards

[toxic zealot]

wait

how tf does a game fry a gpu

its not like new world can bypass fucking thermal limiter

unless its actual malware

[supple bane]

it wouldnt be a thermal thing

[digital hill]

actually it kills it by having insane FPS spikes for extended periods of time causing GPU temperatures to get out of hand and then the hardware problems begin

[supple bane]

hmmmm

but like laaven said the cards should thermal throttle external of what "type" of load its experiencing

[molten coral]

Yeah the main menu is uncapped which is causing the issue for a lot of people.

[storm osprey]

i mean.. i play games uncapped and my gpu just throttles where it needs to, why is this a special case?

[molten coral]

dunno I don't work for amazon lol

[latent light]

Reason for RTX GPUs bricking: Unlocked framerate, sudden 100% utilization, chip cracks due to instant thermal expansion and dies

[digital hill]

Jesus

[storm osprey]

theory, amazon is bricking 3090s and getting a huge shipment of 3090s soon

[digital hill]

I wonder if you can sue amazon for that

[latent light]

Nah

[digital hill]

I mean if a game destroys your card I think suing amazon is pretty reasonable

[vast valley]

Rather sus.

[turbid verge]

@digital hill yeh bet they have an army of layers bigger then ur town police force

[digital hill]

True but its easy money

[latent light]

The main menu of that Amazon game isn't framelocked so frames were shooting through the roof. Ampere, especially the GA102 die has really high transients. Capacitors/Resistors started screaming from that heavy load and 💥

[turbid verge]

Lemme clarify some things

Seems like alot of missinformation here

One has nothing to do with amazon

Its due to the card

[latent light]

Ik

[turbid verge]

One specific model only which is the EVGA 3090's

All other cards that are RTX and/or 3090's do not have this issue

[latent light]

EVGA does it again

Remember the EVGA GTX 1000 series...

[turbid verge]

Second this can be avoided by turning on the vsync in the menu which will lock fps to ur monitor refresh rate

Third this only happened to people running the game on 4K

And Amazon can't fix this. Its a manufacturer problem, so far all reports are from with the specific EVGA 3090. The EVGA 3080ti, 3089, 3070ti etc do not have this issue

[toxic zealot]

witcher 3 menu is also uncapped and there is no problem

[digital hill]

Oof though all the cards under evga are still under warranty and user cannot be at fault here then meaning they can get there card back.

[toxic zealot]

i guess i will stick to msi and gigabyte

if gpu dies under any load

it wasnt properly tested

and the components inside are inferior to normal models

[vast valley]

Hopefully EVGA is good on their warranty policy.

[turbid verge]

@vast valley They are known to have one of the best warranties for computer parts

[toxic zealot]

this is not the first time ftw3 died

there are reports way before

of this card dying

[vast valley]

That's good. Even with the chip shortage, hopefully they're able to replace quickly.

[lean cipher]

why do i get 20 fps lower on some maps in bf5

20-30 fps lower

bf5 is so poorly optimized i think

[supple bane]

more to do with size

the smaller the map the worse the fps will be basically

because there are more explosions, gunshots, smokes, and of course players packed into an area

and thats what causes fps drops

[toxic zealot]

depends

idk how frostbite handles objects in multiplayer

[supple bane]

well i can tell you for a fact op underground is the worst performing map

[lean cipher]

a map like wake island is best performing

its so big

[supple bane]

and hamada is one of the best

[toxic zealot]

which means

it skips rendering objects that arent visible/not nearby

so yea

close quarters 2142 map = tanking fps

idk if they would allow 128 players in metro like map tho

same for every other bf

[lean cipher]

soloman islands has low fps

[supple bane]

i worry that bf2042 will be incredibly cpu intensive

like nothing anyone has seen before

[toxic zealot]

depends

if they intend adding fps intensive features

[supple bane]

because i notice on op underground my cpu usage is almost hitting 100% with gpu down in the 50s

[toxic zealot]

it might be intensive server side

which would be bad

[plain stag]

theres more people in underground

[supple bane]

i also know that in an empty server my gpu usage will be 95% and cpu like 70%. in a full multiplayer match my gpu will be 60% and cpu bouncing off 100

[plain stag]

the more people are closer the more cpu intensive it is

[supple bane]

which shows that more players = more cpu load

[toxic zealot]

whats your cpu

[supple bane]

ryzen 5 2600

but that doesnt matter

[toxic zealot]

it does

[supple bane]

no

[toxic zealot]

yes

[plain stag]

it matters

i had 6600k and my cpu was always at 100%

[toxic zealot]

i mean 2600 is decent cpu

[supple bane]

if im saying that i get lower cpu usage in an empty match and a higher cpu usage in a full match

[plain stag]

while people with 6700k had lower cpu usage

[toxic zealot]

but bf5 can prob eat up to 8 core cpu

[plain stag]

meaning my 6600k was a bottleneck

[supple bane]

that means for a fact more players means more cpu usage

as i said

[plain stag]

well yes, thats a given

[supple bane]

what cpu i have doesnt matter for that comparison

thats what i meant

[toxic zealot]

on top of that bf5 has more visual effects and shit than bf4 etc

[plain stag]

and now with 128 players, a 6 core will be a recommendation most likely

[next ether]

the new Nintendo switch is disappointing

[supple bane]

im guessing 8

6 minimum

[toxic zealot]

also bf5 seems to not be so well optimized

[plain stag]

nah, wont be that high

8 core cpus are not that common

[toxic zealot]

i heard literally assigments in bf5 can give stuttrs lmao

[supple bane]

we'll see

[plain stag]

and devs always aim to have their game playable for majority of systems

[supple bane]

i really think this whole 128 players will cause havoc on cpus

gpu load probably wont be much higher

[toxic zealot]

there were games way before battlefield

that could handle even more players

without issues

[plain stag]

yeh, planetside 2

[toxic zealot]

its all about optimization

[supple bane]

this is true

[lean cipher]

i have a 5600x 3060 ti

[toxic zealot]

planetside 2 was stupid intensive on gpu

[plain stag]

i got a 5600x as well

waiting for the gpu

[toxic zealot]

but player count didnt matter much

[heady pawn]

I think 128 player matches will probably be more of a problem on the wifi

[supple bane]

no

[lean cipher]

you mean ping and latency

[toxic zealot]

no

[supple bane]

gaming isnt speed intensive

[heady pawn]

both

[supple bane]

ping matters but not speed

[toxic zealot]

its up to server to resolve 128 players

[plain stag]

packet loss is the big thing

[toxic zealot]

you just send data to server and receive

[plain stag]

gaming through wifi is unreliable

[supple bane]

the most ive seen a game consume is 200 kbps

[plain stag]

regardless of the game youre playing

[lean cipher]

i game through wifi

[plain stag]

ouff

[lean cipher]

i dont have ethernet cable

well i do

but it isnt long enough

[supple bane]

my router is on my desk so, 5 foot ethernet cable has me sorted

[lean cipher]

i am gonna use powerline ethernet soon

[plain stag]

do yourself a big favor and buy a longer lan cable 😄

[heady pawn]

I don't use an Ethernet cable and I still have no lag

[lean cipher]

i doint either

[plain stag]

its about sending/receiving packets

each game does it differently

but bf in general uses the most bandwidth

[supple bane]

yes this

bfv was this

the most ive ever seen a game consume

[plain stag]

the more packets the game sends/receives the higher chance to encounter packet loss through wifi

[supple bane]

erm, kinda.

more packets does mean that more packets will be lost

but it doesnt mean a higher chance

[plain stag]

yes, thats what i mean

[supple bane]

yeah, bad phrasing 😛

[plain stag]

yea xd

[toxic zealot]

the solution: SEND MORE PACKETS

[plain stag]

the solution, GAME THROUGH ETHERNET

xd

especially if you got other people in the house

and they all start using wifi

[heady pawn]

are gpus expensive because there's a chip shortage or were they always like that?

[plain stag]

a lot of things made gpus expensive

it was basically the perfect storm

crypto mining, supply not meeting demand, other things being higher on priority list when it comes to silicon production

everything culminated at the same time during 2020

they are producing gpus like never before, i think 40% more than last year

but its still not enough to keep up with demand

you only got a couple of fabs in the entire world that makes chips

[supple bane]

they are expensive because of a chip shortage yes

ahhhhh back in the day, you could get a solid midrange card for 300 bucks

[toxic zealot]

msrp midrange is now 200$

[plain stag]

i woudlnt call it a shortage now as they are producing more than ever before

its just that demand is still higher than supply

[toxic zealot]

or it was at least

lol

[heady pawn]

So now's not the best time to buy one?

[toxic zealot]

no

[plain stag]

and a couple of months ago, gpus werent at the top of the priority list when it came to chip manufacturing

the automotive industry was hit really hard

gpu prices are going down in some parts of the world

[prime jasper]

I really want to upgrade my CPU but in Australia they are still bloody expensive...

[plain stag]

damn

how much are they

[prime jasper]

well I want the new AMD Ryzen 9500x its like $850

[plain stag]

oh 5900x

[opaque saddle]

40% more expensive than US (our currency is "cheaper"), with extra 10% tax

[supple bane]

i want the 9500x too

[prime jasper]

$850 is not cheap

☹️

[plain stag]

its 850 AUD im assuming

[prime jasper]

yes

[opaque saddle]

hang on

where did you get 850 from? it was on sale for 629.25 AUD 2 weeks ago

from pccasegear

[prime jasper]

0_o

LOOKING NOW

[plain stag]

XD

better hope its not sold out already

[prime jasper]

nah its still the same price

its never dropped

[plain stag]

damn

unlucky mate

[prime jasper]

bruh

[plain stag]

i bought a 5600x

for 330 euros

now waiting for the gpu

i missed out on the 3070ti yesterday

that was 850 euros

hoping they restock it soon

every other 3070ti is a 1000e

3070's are the same price and sometimes even more expensive than 70ti's

[midnight crypt]

it isnt worth 850

so you dodged a bullet

[plain stag]

thats basically msrp in serbia

every single card that ever came out is like at least 150 euros more than anywhere else in europe

when the prices stabilize, i dont expect any 3070ti to be lower than 800 euros

we have stock of 3070's 70ti's 3080's in a bunch of stores

cheapest 3070 is 950e from gainward

the rest are 1000e and up

so a 3070ti being 850 was a sale pretty much

msrp for 1070 founders was 379$, and i paid that same founders 600 euros here

and that was like 2 months after launch

/do they know yet ?

confirmed

[plucky token]

it's out for 18 seconds

iam not that far into the video yet

[supple bane]

oh

[toxic zealot]

what happens is

specfic evga gpu is borked

it cant handle running at 100%

[supple bane]

well supposedly its not just evga cards

[plucky token]

mine runs at 100% without issues

[toxic zealot]

then they are borked too

[supple bane]

and ive heard about 50 different reasons now

so i think no one knows for real

[toxic zealot]

no d3d apps arent malware

[plucky token]

whatever happens, it's bad

even a 2080super died

[toxic zealot]

like the game cant

just

up your voltage

or something

lol

[supple bane]

voltage is limited by bios so it cant do that

[toxic zealot]

gpus are desgined to handle 100% load all the time on stock settings

[supple bane]

if it was something about 100% load this would have been happening long before now

[toxic zealot]

having 4000fps in menu at best

can make capciator generate hearable sound

which happens for my gpu

[plucky token]

my old 3080 died too in such a way

coilwhine, dead

[supple bane]

youve had 2 3080s?

[toxic zealot]

coilwhine doesnt damage gpu

ye

RMA is a thing

took 3 days

[supple bane]

oh RMA

i thought you just brought a new one

[plucky token]

heck no

[toxic zealot]

or those may be also false reports

i bet someone has 10 3080s

to test it

from the benchmarking guys

[dry pike]

New worlds alpha/beta causing 3090 cards to break. Interesting.

[plucky token]

yep

i hope Lost Ark won't kill it

[toxic zealot]

gpus and software behind it is very idiot proof

so i wonder whats up there

[dry pike]

Different game, so should be fine I assume.

[toxic zealot]

never heard of ark killing anything

isnt ark in unreal engine anyway

[plucky token]

true

[dry pike]

BF has had the too high FPS in the menu issue as well

The menu doesn't need to run at max FPS or having backgrounds rendered using the in-game engine.

[toxic zealot]

well ye

for some reason launchers are integrated with the game

[dry pike]

I need light and fast menus with low latencies.

[plucky token]

jay said mentioned it. if you launch NewWorld, the gpu usage skyrockets to max, core clock and vram usage for a menu with insane FPS in the thousands. Doom Eternal tho has thousands of fps but like 0% gpu usage

capacitors could fail and thats what he suggests

[toxic zealot]

yea

because rendering hud

can be done with few transistors

hmmm

but why capciators didnt fail before

[plucky token]

i know one thing. i won't touch this game

[toxic zealot]

im pretty sure witcher 3 did the same thing

max out gpu and stupid fps

in menu

btw

jayz is not a good person to listen to about low level hardware

thats not his field

[dry pike]

My computer at 100% don't even draw enough power to make my PSU fan start up 😄

So my 3080ti is safe I hope.

this guy would know

if you send him bricked gpu

[plucky token]

gamersnexus as well

he just calls vince aka kingpin from evga

[toxic zealot]

ye

he will prob release video about it

[plucky token]

jayz said at the end, he will brick one, or try's to

probably get's steve involved

[toxic zealot]

i read on yt comments

that even someone 1060 got bricked

so like wtf

[fallen harbor]

question

my cousin has a ddr4 8gb 2400mhz ballistix sport white module

and wants to have 8 more to reach 16gb

it is an old module

but he doesnt want to spend a lot of money and just wants 16 and, if possible, dual channel

and since this product isnt built anymore, anybody knows what newer ram module is compatible with this one to support dual channel with?

[supple bane]

in theory any ddr4 ram is compatible

[fallen harbor]

afaik not all brands will cooperate to do dual channel

might be wrong, idk

idk much about dual channel

[supple bane]

but, results vary wildly. some will work as if they are the same, some wont even post

its basically luck of the draw i think

[fallen harbor]

isnt this known though

isnt there a list of approximate results

[supple bane]

im not sure

[fallen harbor]

like mixing hyperx with ballistix

[balmy fractal]

i get some weird error message from origin when i shut down my pc, can anyone help?

it only happens when i play two origin games in one session

[fallen harbor]

whats the error message

[prime jasper]

yeah we can't really tell anything with that description

[dry pike]

Troubleshooting and describing technical issues should be subjects in school.

[upbeat nimbus]

can someone help me with my bf1, i got it thru amazon prime and it is stuck on the startup loading, i can only see a black loading screen. i can send u a recording,

ive repaired my game, disabled my windows defender, and i did perform a clean boot

[dry pike]

Check for people with the same issue on https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield/ct-p/battlefield

[latent sandal]

Hey

I wanted to play BF1 and im so lucky i got it free

But can i play BF1 with this setup?
Im using a laptop
8GB Ram
i5 7700
AMD Radeon M5 330 2GB

All low settings and small maps atleast?

[lime sphinx]

you should get maybe a RAM increase just so you can dedicate some more VRAM

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

also

try this

[latent sandal]

Im not sure this site works correct but thanks

[dry pike]

If you search for similar specs playing Battlefield 1 on Youtube you will some people playing it. Doesn't seem to run too well though so the answer is a big fat maybe 🙂

[latent sandal]

Thanks

[storm osprey]

or you can just try it since its free?

[latent sandal]

Yeah

Ill do it probably

it doesnt look bad

Ill try it thanks yall

[atomic jackal]

man im really impatient about my pc arriving

i feel like a kid again from excitement

after using potato pc for 8 years

getting a 3060 ti pc feels super exciting

[upbeat nimbus]

no fix

[novel creek]

hey, have a black screen issue for BF1

apparently it's quite common, however none of the fixes I tried have worked thus far

fixes include repairing the game, switching DoF, Lighting Effects, Colorblind mode

[toxic zealot]

[lapis narwhal]

hey i have a problem when loading battlefield 5

i load it and it shuts down

[marsh gull]

guys what cpu would you recommend for pairing with a 3060 ti? (looking for budget but still pretty powerful)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WbC2dD

this is my list

I was hoping if you guys could tell me if it's a good choice: i've already got 1tb of nvme ssd and 32g of ram (the ram in the list is for my old computer)

[dry pike]

For gaming a 5800x or the Intel equivalent would be my choice to pair with a 3060ti.

Some would say 5600x.

[marsh gull]

ok

found a ryzen 5 5600x for almost 300 usd

that's a bit too expensive?

[marsh gull]

is the mobo fine?

[plucky token]

yep

[marsh gull]

ok cool

[lusty star]

So, im most probably gonna get a laptop
130W 3060
105/130W 3070
5800H or 5900HX as CPU
hows the performance gonna be on these specs? weakest and strongest combination
i.e. 3060+5800H and 130W 3070+5900HX

like a rough estimate

[storm osprey]

unless you are doing production work on this you dont need a 5800

[south token]

I'm new to the PC and I was playing ps4, then I downloaded and played battlefield4. I connected the controller to the PC, but the settings are different. Do you know how to change the settings? I want to play on the controller

[toxic zealot]

go into game settings?

lmao

[stray needle]

Does 4K give you an edge over 1440p in this game. Let say as sniper ?

Or is it negated by hardware demands

[arctic crag]

Maybe 20%

Or lower

[toxic zealot]

pro csgo players mostly play at 1080p

or less

[supple bane]

Lets see

!!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.

[supple bane]

Dang it

[proud trellis]

lol

[stray needle]

Anything below 1080 is just mediocre

720p feels strange. I have a native one

[storm osprey]

range of engagement is much shorter in a game like csgo vs something like bf though

[storm osprey]

objectively yes, but it costs much more overall and you will end up with less fps anyway

[toxic zealot]

4k technically would help also in csgo

but 300 fps is better

[storm osprey]

ehh, i doubt theres many scenarios where the pixel clarity will help in csgo

at least when i think of the main maps i used to play on, the furthest sight line was a football field at most

[toxic zealot]

idk where 4k helps in bf tho

if something is pixelated in 1080p in bf its prob out of your reach anyway

unless you use long range rockets

snipers have zoom ofc

[storm osprey]

i mean, spotting someone while running around at 4k would be easier than 1080p for sure

i play at 1440p and i scan horizons before scoping in when i snipe

granted i think scanning before scoping is just overall better for situational awareness and acquiring targets faster, hence how 4k will be better for that

[solar kestrel]

when will the shortage end

[zealous minnow]

bought a 970 for $200, feeling good

it was the only thing in stock, and now i get to complete my first pc

[supple bane]

you brought it NEW for that price?

[supple bane]

it will

it will run anything without issues yes

its still a very powerful card

[prime jasper]

hey so uhhh while we are asking these type of questions then im gonna ask if my setup is good too
my processor is an AMD Ryzen 7 2700-eight core processor
and a graphics card which is the uhh Radeon RX 570 series
im not a specialist with these things so i cant really tell if this would be a good setup for the game or not

[supple bane]

it should run it

how well? no one knows

[prime jasper]

i dont know im running BFH and BF4 on max graphics pretty goddamn well

ignoring the fact that it sounds like a jet engine

[supple bane]

yeah they are very old lol

a potato could run bf4 on max graphics now

[prime jasper]

huh, you dont say

[supple bane]

id say you should expect 60 fps on 1080p

but thats just a guess, i cant say

[prime jasper]

that would be good enough for me

honestly

[slender turtle]

Do yall think that there will be a bunch of servers that would be a repeat of the servers in bf 4 with stupid rules?

[supple bane]

thats because there are no/very little offical dice servers on bf4

[slender turtle]

That is true

But for the custom ones such as portal

Do you think this may happen?

[supple bane]

well the whole point of portal is it will have dumb rules lmao

[slender turtle]

True

[prime jasper]

hey while im still at this topic do you recommend that i should upgrade any of these or i should be fine in your opinion

[storm osprey]

at the very least i think portal will make it to where people can create servers that DONT let you pick a shotgun that people like

so you wont get randomly kicked for bs

[slender turtle]

What are you upgrading I was not a part of this conversation before this?

[supple bane]

it depends on what games you are playing and what you expect out of them

you could maybe go for a gpu upgrade, but at the same time the 570 should hold up for a little longer at least until the gpu shortage has blown over

[prime jasper]

i was talking to granty

[prime jasper]

i see

[slender turtle]

Ok

[prime jasper]

thanks man

[wintry prairie]

It seems like the opposite would be the case? I just upgraded my GPU from a 1080ti to a 3080ti, and went from 1440p to 1080p, and from 60hz to 300hz. My thought process was "larger" visuals on a smaller res for better spotting, etc.

Correct me if I am wrong, I want to learn as much as possible.

[storm osprey]

the more pixels the more accurate the image, especially for farther away targets

its less likely that a head peaking over a hill will blend into the image if there are more pixels to accurately represent the player

like, with larger pixels, you are more likely to have 1 pixel represent a head and blur into the rest of the image

https://youtu.be/pZi2V5C40_w?t=192

timestamped

higher resolution is really handy for BR's and large game modes like bfv if you are sniping

[arctic crag]

I think 1440p is the sweet spot

4K will really make kids with your gpu

1080p doesn’t look good anymore

[storm osprey]

agreed, 27" 1440p is here its at if you can afford it

[opal cliff]

I know if def going to have to upgrade for this game but how do you guys think i5 7500 gtx 1070 8vram 16gb ram would do,

[storm osprey]

for 1080p? yea?

[opal cliff]

Yeah only 1080p

[storm osprey]

id say at least 60fps medium settings

[opal cliff]

Oh okay. I’ll take that lol until I eventually upgrade

[storm osprey]

what do you get in bfv?

maybe knock of 15% of your fps to get a ballpark idea

[opal cliff]

Never played bfv so not to sure TBH

[storm osprey]

ahh

[opal cliff]

Bf1 for me runs pretty well for the most part

I guess take 30% off that lol

[storm osprey]

yea i just looked online trying to find benchmarks

[opal cliff]

For a ballpark

[storm osprey]

unfortunately i think 2042 is going to be pretty cpu intensive so i wonder if a 4c4t cpu will struggle

[opal cliff]

Yeah that’s my worry with my cpu lol

[storm osprey]

thankfully cpus are in stock and you have a good 1080p gpu

[opal cliff]

That’s I figured I would need to upgrade before even trying to play it

[storm osprey]

well if you want help with components you can ask here

youd only need a cpu and mb really

10400/11400 for budget, 5600x for bang for buck

[arctic crag]

If you’re a gamer only go with intel

[storm osprey]

? what

[finite meadow]

yep

[opal cliff]

Honestly was going to upgrade my gpu as well so more was going to upgrade every part

[storm osprey]

amd 5000 series gives the best gaming performance..

[opal cliff]

When gpu prices are normal again

[finite meadow]

till now tons of games are not AMD proof

always INTEL proof

[storm osprey]

? never heard of this

[arctic crag]

Mate I agree yeah but it’s expensive compared to intel

[finite meadow]

been that way since ages

[storm osprey]

well for ages intel was the gaming performance king

that has changed

[finite meadow]

nah

for games nah

for other things yeah

[storm osprey]

for everything really...

[prime jasper]

Yeah AMD is currently king

[storm osprey]

the only time intel wins recently is with big sales that make them better values

[arctic crag]

Actually Ryzen 5000 is equal if not better than intel in gaming

[storm osprey]

and this is from someone that bought a 10700k

[arctic crag]

I just recommend intel for the dude up there because it’s cheap lol

[storm osprey]

hence "10400/11400 for budget, 5600x for bang for buck"

[arctic crag]

And equal (maybe a little behind) ryzen 5000

[arctic crag]

I disagree

[storm osprey]

with what part?

[arctic crag]

How much is Ryzen 5600x right now?

[storm osprey]

there was just a sale for it a couple of days ago for 270

[arctic crag]

Best bang for buck

[arctic crag]

Oh wow so it’s not 350$ anymore?

[storm osprey]

#technology message

[arctic crag]

You’re right

My bad

[storm osprey]

sale seems to be over, so its 290 now

[arctic crag]

Really good

[storm osprey]

included cooler and cheaper motherboard too

[arctic crag]

But i5 11400f is 100$ cheaper

[opal cliff]

The combo im mostly looking for I think is the 5600x and 3060ti because someone said those go well together

[arctic crag]

But intel mobos are costy compared to amd especially 11th gen mobos

[opal cliff]

Don’t know if that a still true now though

[arctic crag]

300% agreed

[opal cliff]

I think someone said is great for 1080 high frames

[storm osprey]

yea thats why i recommended 10400/11400 for budget picks, but honestly after the price of intel mbs it will get close to a 5600x

[storm osprey]

ryzen 5000 series gives best fps at 1080p, at higher resolution cpu demand gets lower

[opal cliff]

I just wish the 3060 was normal price

[arctic crag]

Even 1440p rtx 3060 ti is good

[opal cliff]

Oh okay

Or at least by the holidays

[arctic crag]

I think prices are normal now at least in the us

[storm osprey]

if you can find a card

[opal cliff]

Oh really

[storm osprey]

granted finding a card in store was usually msrp

[arctic crag]

Micro center got many cards for msrp

[opal cliff]

There is no micro cevter near me lol

[storm osprey]

yea mc is like the holy grail of storefronts to actually get cards

sadly i live in the 6th largest city by population and we dont have a mc in our state...

[arctic crag]

I’m not even in the us lol and prices in my country are 2.5x the msrp

[storm osprey]

wack

thankfully bestbuy kept msrp for most cards when they did go on sale

[arctic crag]

I think in 2 months everything will 100% go back to normal

[storm osprey]

ehhh, that seems a bit optimistic but lets hope

[arctic crag]

Chinese miners are selling their gpus

All of them

So we will get plenty of gpus soon

[storm osprey]

yea i heard that, im sure it helps, i just dont expect it to solve anything that quickly

[arctic crag]

You know because China banned crypto currencies

[storm osprey]

id give it 6 months till you can walk into any store and buy what you want at msrp without thinking about it

[arctic crag]

I don’t think it will take that long

However let’s just hope for the best

[opal cliff]

That would great if by Christmas prices are normal again lol

[arctic crag]

Any news about iPhone 13

[coarse nimbus]

it will be more expensive than the iphone 12

[latent light]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/radeon-rx-6700-xt-works-with-risc-v

[marsh gull]

yeah if you can find them for msrp

[marsh gull]

bruh it's a 1080p 240hz/1440p 144hz/ 4k 60hz combo

[marsh gull]

it's a 1440p card

[opal cliff]

Oh okay damn lol

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah i plan on spending 1500 for the desktop without the GPU and then gonna save up for a new GPU to put into it later

Cause the GPU will pretty much be as expensive as the damn desktop itself but should be well worth it lmao

[neon current]

A lot of people are just buying pre built computers and the. Reselling them with their old graphics card in it to friends with a slightly reduced price so they get very close to MSRP

[toxic wigeon]

Msrp?

[timber bough]

Retail price

[toxic wigeon]

oh got it

So the market changes

[neon current]

Manufactured suggested price

Yes it can

[toxic wigeon]

Yeah at this point you might as well buy the desktop WITH the desired card, Which would be way cheaper

[neon current]

But it isn’t always supposed to

[toxic wigeon]

I mean so the market changes more positively

Cause scalpers

[neon current]

The only problem with pre built

Is you can’t always tell the quality of the parts

[timber bough]

^

[neon current]

In terms of who’s making it etc

[toxic wigeon]

True

[timber bough]

I would go with SI that allows you to pick parts

Like NZXT

[neon current]

Like if I get a SSD, or HDD, is it a seagate? Or is it a Samsung

[toxic wigeon]

If i may ask, What's the different between dual and triple fan GPU's? Just cooling?

[dry pike]

50% more fans

[toxic wigeon]

i mean

[neon current]

Cooling and clock speed sometimes

[toxic wigeon]

haha

[neon current]

Sometimes 3 fan GPUs have higher clocks slightly or are just more suitable for OC

[toxic wigeon]

Ahhh got it

[neon current]

It’s funny because The card I have, it’s almost like those 3 fans just don’t exist

Im way self conscious about temps in my case so I overkill fans

[toxic wigeon]

3070's aren't even that much more expensive that the 3060ti wow

Yeah i get that

[neon current]

I have a 360mm AIO heat sink. With 1 back exhaust fan, 2 top exhaust fans and then 2 120 fans on the bottom blowing air underneath my card

Even tho 30 series cards have a higher threshold for heat

Their maximum I think is like 110

[opaque saddle]

It is better to have a triple fans than dual fans GPU

Coz you want lower idling temp rather than high idling temp

[neon current]

Yeah my idling is like 21-23 c

When I’m gaming it’s like 50 c

[toxic zealot]

3 fans doesnt mean better than 2

[neon current]

If it’s pushed at 99% bench it’s like 70 c

[toxic zealot]

Depends.on gpu dimension

fans quality

heatsink

[opaque saddle]

Yeah but in general

[toxic wigeon]

I'd love to buy your computer considering how fucking cold it is here LMAO

[neon current]

LOL

[toxic wigeon]

"you got a heater?"
"yes"

That'd suck during summer though

[opaque saddle]

You can fit in 230mm fan which is better than 100mm fan, if you can customise it

[prime jasper]

what kind of tower do you guys have?

[toxic wigeon]

I've got an old 2012 computer

[opaque saddle]

But in general, triple fans design is better than double

I got a mid ATX tower

[timber bough]

Mid ATX Tower as well

[opaque saddle]

Full tower is just too large and too bulky

[neon current]

Im pissed that this time I got a mid tower tbh

[timber bough]

Oh?

[neon current]

I should have got a full

The 3090 is a massive card

[timber bough]

Ah, yeah, it is

[opaque saddle]

Can you mount it vertically?

[timber bough]

If the case supports it

[neon current]

Not this one

[opaque saddle]

With pcie extension cable

[neon current]

My problem is I just couldn’t mount my 360 radiator at the top

I had to front mount it

[toxic wigeon]

Reckon you're gonna save for a new tower?

[neon current]

Which makes me nervous

I could buy a new tower rn but

[toxic wigeon]

It's not entirely a priority?

[neon current]

It’s a hassle to move an entire pc I just built into a new tower

If I get heat issues I’ll move it ASAP

[toxic wigeon]

ahhhh

[neon current]

Right now I’m not having heat issues

[dry pike]

I wish I was cold, my computer can heat my office quite quickly 😄

[toxic wigeon]

Fair enough

[opaque saddle]

Mod technology chat

[toxic wigeon]

Haha

[dry pike]

Nothing wrong with that

[neon current]

My boyfriend made me so nervous the entire time we built it

“Gee you know I never know anyone that front mounts it”

[opaque saddle]

I have been messing my PC around for 14 years

[neon current]

“Man I don’t really think this will work”

Constantly in my ear

[opaque saddle]

I figure it out it is better not to touch it

😂

[toxic wigeon]

"Get out of my head"

[neon current]

The worst thing is I seat the CPU in and you know that squeezing sound it makes

And he’s standing right over my shoulder

[dry pike]

Top mounting a radiator typically makes your CPU slightly warmer than if it was front mounted and front mounting typically makes your GPU slightly warmer. Overall heat in the case is the same.

[neon current]

“That didn’t sound right”

[dry pike]

lol 😄

what a help

[toxic wigeon]

"i didn't know CPU's squeaked like a mouse"

[opaque saddle]

I have stacked two identical desktop tower on top of each other's

[neon current]

I put my PSU upside down in my case

So the fan is not blowing hot air on my gpu

It’s just blowing out a bottom vent at the bottom of my case

Since the lancool 2 has a ton of air filters in the case

[opaque saddle]

So to save some space

[neon current]

Wait you stacked them

Like you put a whole case on top of another

[opaque saddle]

Stack the cases

Yeah

I don't use both at the same time tho

[neon current]

Ah Okay

Makes sense

[opaque saddle]

But what you can do, is to mount your 3090 onto another small case

With extension cables and psu

[dry pike]

Most standard ATX cases the PSU intake cool air from the bottom and blows it out the back. This is normal.

[opaque saddle]

Otherwise you may get a new PC case

I cannot find as better solution than that

[neon current]

@toxic wigeon here is your new case way

The Corsair 1000D

You know you can fit 18 fans in this case

[opaque saddle]

I got my PC case for $39

RGB case

[neon current]

Thays a hell of a deal for RGB

[opaque saddle]

So I bought two

[neon current]

My case was like 120 bucks I think

[opaque saddle]

And carried it with my scooter

[toxic wigeon]

Holy shit

It's named corsair too

So

That's even better

[neon current]

Corsair makes amazing cases

[opaque saddle]

Your next goal is to make it invisible

Make it hidden inside your desk

[neon current]

But I’ve fallen in love with Lian li recently because their air flow

[toxic wigeon]

Holy hell that's expensive

[neon current]

Oh yeah it’s 549 USD

[opaque saddle]

You can spend heaps of money into getting new cases

[neon current]

Funny thing is, I don’t care about case design

[toxic wigeon]

But as usual, Spending a lot of money often means the objecti n question is of high quality and will last you a long time

[opaque saddle]

Or you can opt for the most cost efficient option

[neon current]

All I care about is space and thermals

[opaque saddle]

Usually be 69-89 AUD

[dry pike]

I use Fractal R6. It's simple, it got dustfilters in bottom, front and top + it got some sound dampening. Pretty much the most important things for me.

[neon current]

Yes and sometimes no. Sometimes you spend for the design

[neon current]

Great case

Fractal is very awesome makers

[opaque saddle]

Yours is with the infamous orange carbonic stickers

😂

[neon current]

I know their designs are called “boring” but I pick cases on efficiency

I don’t buy a case because it looks cool

[dry pike]

it's 1 giant sticker on each side

[opaque saddle]

He makes his boring case looks interesting

With his iconic sticker

[neon current]

If your case isn’t a Fridge

Then it isn’t cool

Having a box case is hilarious

[opaque saddle]

Now, show them your PC case

[opaque saddle]

There it is. Isn't that awesome

[dry pike]

I like it at least 🙂

[neon current]

Why does this case look like it has no airflow. I’m sweating

[opaque saddle]

Coming from the side

[neon current]

I demand you take a picture of your ventilation before I get nervous

[opaque saddle]

And the top

[toxic wigeon]

That's actually cool as hell Carbo

[neon current]

Show the top carb

I DEMAND to see some sort of mesh

[dry pike]

I just open the front door if I'm gaming and it's hot, otherwise it is plenty cool. Got 1 bottom and 2 front 140mm intake, and then the top has 3 120mm fans in the AIO. I can take a picture.

[neon current]

Okay that’s not bad at least

You have a good number of fans

[terse steeple]

Sick custom build bro.

[dry pike]

Thanks 🙂

[neon current]

Most unnecessary cases

Besides the one to the far left

[terse steeple]

Yeah, unless you have the money.

[neon current]

Yeah exactly

[terse steeple]

And really wanna show off some ugly ass designs for some reason 🙄

[neon current]

Id rather allocate case money to other parts

[terse steeple]

Yeah.

[dry pike]

I am moving a bunch of stuff around atm. so you just get the ground view, but you can see the fins on the top.

[neon current]

Ah Yes excellent

[dry pike]

3x140mm in, 1x140mm + 3x120mm in AIO out. All Noctua or Corsair fans. Should be plenty of airflow.

I guess the PSU also has a 140mm intake in the bottom but it never runs so I don't count it 🙂

[prime jasper]

Is it a good idea to run games from a Portable Hard drive?

[marsh gull]

guys who here installed windows 11?

[dry pike]

On PC I tend to say no. Depending on the game ofc.

[marsh gull]

not if it's an hdd

[marsh gull]

I have a friend who installed all his steam games on an external ssd and it worked fine

[prime jasper]

Oh ok

[marsh gull]

but external hdd is good for videos, documents and photos you don't wanna have on your main ssd

[dry pike]

I do have a proper external nvme ssd harddrive lying around. I should test if it runs well at some point. Just fear that the seek latencies might still be high despite USB 3.1/3.2 or whatever it is called now.

[marsh gull]

nvme ssds don't connect with usb

[midnight crypt]

you certainly can have an external nvme ssd

which connects with usb

[marsh gull]

aren't nvme ssds the ones who connect with m.2?

[midnight crypt]

yes

[marsh gull]

then you can't connect an m.2 ssd with usb

[midnight crypt]

you can buy an external enclosure for them

[marsh gull]

oh k

[dry pike]

nvme is a Interface Specification that utilizes PCIe - m.2 is a form factor and a connector

You can easily convert nvme to USB

[marsh gull]

good to know

[dry pike]

the m.2 connector can both utilize nvme and SATA as interface.

[marsh gull]

ok

[dry pike]

My fear is that the USB connection will introduce some latency that will make it less optimal for gaming but it should still work.

[marsh gull]

it will be much slower with usb

so a bit of preformance wasted

[quick locust]

Yeah

[wintry prairie]

And my GPU has no fans.

[white crater]

Minimum device requirements released yet or not ?

[wintry prairie]

Not

[terse steeple]

Wanna guess what it is?

Minimum spec wise.

[white crater]

Atleast gtx1050

I guess

[terse steeple]

big chungus approves.

[marsh gull]

what gpu?

[solid maple]

anyone know system req for bf2042?

[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.

[supple bane]

seriously tho when are they going to release this >:(

my money was on right after EA play, but it still not out. my guess is we wont know until the beta where they can see how it performs on different selections of hardware ?

[opaque saddle]

No one knows. AFAIK there usually be a big wave of replacing hardware for the new bf

[supple bane]

it was a rhetorical question :P ik know one knows

[opaque saddle]

coz i know others will be looking at this thread anyway. It is a response to others

[coarse nimbus]

If there was even any stock to buy

[wintry prairie]

EVGA 3080TI FTW ULTRA HC

[dry pike]

If I remember correctly for BFV minimum specs for the alpha/beta was released right before they were released and the final specs were like 3 weeks before release. So if they do the same that would make the beta specs arrive right before the beta sometime in September. I could be completely wrong though.

[plucky token]

They come when they come 👀

[supple bane]

thats something my mom would say

[proud trellis]

[lean cipher]

if i have a 3060 ti 5600x 16gig ram should i play on ultra?

i play on ultra and its good i get like 150 fps avg but is it a good or bad idea

[storm osprey]

if youre a try hard, a bad idea for visibility

[supple bane]

yeah the best try hard settings are vsync off, future frame rendering off, everything set to low except mesh which is on ultra

but turning off future frame rendering will lower you fps significantly but comes with the reward with slightly less input lag. so i say if you can still hold 144fps with it off, then leave it off

if you are dropping below 144fps turn it back on

[lean cipher]

i am a try hard

[lean cipher]

k will do

[storm osprey]

personally i run EVERYTHING low/off except for textures, i gotta have the best textures

[lean cipher]

what r ur specs

[storm osprey]

3080/10700kf/16gb

[lean cipher]

ok so u have a beast pc

[storm osprey]

yea, hard work and dedication pays off

(im kidding, im lazy af)

[lean cipher]

nah u deserve it

[storm osprey]

lol thanks
