technology

[supple bane]

Well. You cant just say office chairs are better than gaming chairs. Because thats misleading

[lean cipher]

i have a boulies chair its ok but theres better out there i didnt have money to spend on a office chair but soon i will get a herman miller

[supple bane]

Cheap ebay gaming chairs are terrible. They are just ploying kids to buy them

But decent chairs like secret lab, noblechairs etc. They are very good

[storm osprey]

frick that, its all about staples mesh chairs

[supple bane]

But do not buy a gaming chair cuz ItS dEsIgNeD fOr GaMInG

[dry pike]

I have a gaming chair, but I won it so price to performance is unbeatable :p

[proud trellis]

i have a chair off of amazon it was like 80 pound

[proud trellis]

secret labs chairs are pricey

[supple bane]

They are

But id rather pay for that than get your 80 pound amazon chair

[proud trellis]

lol

[supple bane]

Just sayin

[proud trellis]

i would get one but my parents will be like "well its just the same as chairs off of amazon"

[supple bane]

Ahhh that makes me rage so much

My parents understood that i sat in my chair litterally all day when lockdown started and they understand how important it is to have a good chair for that so they were fine with me spending more

[proud trellis]

its the exact same with when my computer broke and it had to get sent back. they was like "well why cant u just get this cheaper computer dont follow all your friends and get the same computer as them" bear in mind the computer they saw was like 200 pound so...its not running anything.

annoys me alot

[molten coral]

People who aren't into tech just don't get stuff like that

When I showed my dad my setup he was like: What the hell, why do you need all of this? Me: Games

[supple bane]

My dad took my old chair for his side of the office. Since he doesnt spend more than an hour at a time

[proud trellis]

my nan always says " they both look the same its just that one is more expensive" "they both do the same thing"

[supple bane]

But a few weeks ago he was sat for about 3 hours and he said exactly this " im not supprised you got that chair"

[proud trellis]

lol

[supple bane]

And is now gonna get the same chair as me at some point

[proud trellis]

the chair i have rn isnt even that bad, but the material is starting to peel off and its peeling right under my legs and its irritating them because i mainly wear shorts

but it will be months before i can get a decent chair

[storm osprey]

they do the same thing, but not to the same level

[molten coral]

Reminds me that I still need a new chair

I ordered a second hand HM Aeron a while ago but the company couldn't deliver it

[proud trellis]

i dont know what chair to even get though, most of the good ones are in the 300-400's by the looks of it

[supple bane]

yes they are

[molten coral]

Yep

[supple bane]

but you can get office chairs for cheaper. but do your research on which ones are good

because a lot of them are just as bad if not worse than gaming chairs

my old chair was an office chair, and it was like 75 pound i think? and the amount of discomfort that chair caused me is immeasurable

[proud trellis]

i would get a chair in the 300-400's zone happily but its my parents that are stopping me from doing so

[storm osprey]

damn, those are supposed to be damn good too

did you get a good price?

[supple bane]

if you just google "why shouldnt i get a cheap chair" there will probably be loads of articles that explain it in detail

[molten coral]

Yeah, it was 500 euro or something like that but they couldn't deliver it

[stray needle]

I have this ROG PG27V monitor gsync

[proud trellis]

thing is though anything else i ask to get thats not in the "gaming" zone they are fine with to buy......so strange

[stray needle]

I can overlock it to 165

[molten coral]

Prices now are around 750-800 for a second hand one @storm osprey

[stray needle]

Is there any downsides to overlock the monitor for +15% faster refresh rate

[storm osprey]

hot damn

iirc monitors are more prone to defects when overclocking

personally, it doesnt sound worth it to me

[stray needle]

is there issues with g-sync when overclocking ?

[storm osprey]

doesnt OCing a monitor cause ghosting too?

[molten coral]

Yep it does

[fallow garden]

causes colors fuk up

[stray needle]

idk, i'll play and check if i notice anything

[molten coral]

Not always but it happens

[fallow garden]

When I oced mine there also showed up bunch of small green dots

[stray needle]

165 / 144 = +15%

[storm osprey]

i doubt adaptive sync ranges will change with an OC

[stray needle]

some gain

I'm playing Battlefield Heroes

12/13 year old game by now

I wounder if low latency mode is better left at disabled or enabled

[atomic jackal]

400 euros

[molten coral]

Worth it

[stray needle]

Is the general consensus that 1440p 240hz is the current sweet spot right now ?

[atomic jackal]

240hz seems a bit too much

[molten coral]

It's better to spend a bit more on stuff you use everyday than buying something cheap and regretting it.

[stray needle]

144hz been around for a while now

360hz is too much

[storm osprey]

@stray needle 2 train of thoughts imo, if you want "competitive gaming"/240hz, you go 1080p

if you want clearer picture, you got 1440p/144hz

1440p/240 is just too expensive to really suggest

[stray needle]

Yeah but to benefit fullest of that 360hz monitor, one need relatively new hardware and gpu

[atomic jackal]

exactly my thoughts

[storm osprey]

depends on the game, settings, resolution etc

[stray needle]

Asus price is at around 990 euro for 1440p 240hz

[storm osprey]

yea thats absurd

[stray needle]

I have 1440p 144hz

[storm osprey]

and those cost what? 300-400 now?

[molten coral]

144hz is fine?

[stray needle]

Now trying a slight overclock that can be enabled in the menu

144hz starting to get somewhat aged

[storm osprey]

ehh, i dont think its anything to complain about honestly

and im a try hard

[atomic jackal]

144hz is more than enough for gaming if you dont attend tournaments or competitions

[stray needle]

I mean as higher options are available, 144hz started to age

[atomic jackal]

which you probably dont

[dry pike]

There are way more to a monitor than resolution and hz. Nits brightness, panel type, GTG times, ghosting characteristics, HDR capability, color accuracy, is it factory calibrated etc. etc. etc.

[storm osprey]

unless i was playing for money, i woudlnt go over 144hz

[atomic jackal]

most people still use 60hz

[atomic jackal]

yeah exactly

[stray needle]

believe it or not

[storm osprey]

this is coming from someone that HAS played for money

[stray needle]

60hz is common

[atomic jackal]

a monitor can have 500hz and be horrible

[atomic jackal]

because people arent obsessed with numbers

[storm osprey]

yea but for gaming res/hz are the 2 biggest factors assuming other qualities arent detrimental

[stray needle]

people have this if it ain't broke don't fix it attitude

[atomic jackal]

that's a good attitude

reduces waste

[stray needle]

yeah but sometimes it get too far

[storm osprey]

ehh thats not really my approach though, like i said, i wouldnt consider 200+hz unless i was playing for money

[atomic jackal]

how is this relevant to justifying 240hz for normal gaming though

[stray needle]

we got off track

[storm osprey]

the gains from 144 to 244 are pretty negligible

[stray needle]

still noticeable i've heard from reviews

[storm osprey]

iirc the response times from 60hz to 144hz cut it in half

from 144hz to 244hz was like 15% better

[stray needle]

the gain from 240 to 360 is hardly noticeable

[storm osprey]

im certain almost any gamer would notice the difference, is it worth the price? for 95% of gamers i would say no

[stray needle]

I did a bad choise. I opted for this 1080p 360hz instead of 1440p 240hz

I can sell it however

[storm osprey]

depends what you want

i sit further back when i game, so i really wanted 27", so i "had" to get 1440p

[stray needle]

One way to simulate the feel of a 240hz monitor is simply by reducing hz to 240 from 360

[wintry prairie]

I just installed my new GPU and monitor. I'd like to try out nVidia Reflex in BF2042 on a 360hz monitor.

[stray needle]

My conclusion is that the less overall view of a 1080p make the extra smoothness cancel each other out

[wintry prairie]

I'm mulling over going to a 1440p 240hz

[stray needle]

yeah, you won't regret it. 360hz is for pros only like e-sport

[storm osprey]

i cant justify nearly double the price increase going from 1440/144 to 1440/240 personally

[stray needle]

for the casual gamer. 360hz is not worth it as it is now

Thanks. I'll try 165hz for a bit now and report back if i notice anything strange

[molten coral]

240hz isn't worth it either for the casual gamer.

[wintry prairie]

Suggestions on 1440/144hz+ monitors?

[molten coral]

price range?

[storm osprey]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TD94TQF?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

this is the one ive kept my eye on

[lean cipher]

so now for settings i have everything on low/off except for mesh wich is on ultra, texture quality: ultra, texture filtering ultra and high fidelity objects count on ultra

is thAT good or bad

[atomic jackal]

guys

does the battlefield on twitch prime include dlcs

[dry pike]

Step 1. Check the Twitch website. The website says it is the standard edition.
Step 2. Go to a store and see what the standard edition contains
https://www.origin.com/dnk/en-us/store/battlefield/battlefield-1/offer-selection

[atomic jackal]

oh

i kinda want the revelation edition

but i already have the standard

so wouldnt that conflict with each other

[dry pike]

Premium pass and revolution costs the same, below 5 euro. You can do both, wouldn't matter.

[wintry prairie]

under $500

[storm osprey]

that sounds good for me for a mix of competitive settings and eye candy

considering bfv doesnt have a ranked mode, i personally want some eye candy

[dry pike]

I just run everything ultra, no RTX, 1440p locked at 144FPS. Perhaps not competitive but it's pretty and smooth so its fine.

[lean cipher]

yeah

[atomic jackal]

nope, premium in itself costs the same as the full game plus premium on steam

but i already have the standard edition rn

[wintry prairie]

Nice!

Out of curiosity, the 240hz is currently about the same price. Not sure what nano IPS vs HD IPS is, but would you still go with the 144hz?

[dry pike]

standard game + season pass is the same as the revolution edition so what I said was correct

[atomic jackal]

yeah they're the same but not the same price at least for me that is

[dry pike]

I linked Origin store so I'm talking Origin store. Steam might be different.

[atomic jackal]

would it cause a conflict between a standard version and revelation if i also buy from steam? i heard a guy tell the same thing

[quick locust]

https://www.windowscentral.com/forget-pc-case-gaming-bicycle-runs-nvidia-rtx-3070

[dry pike]

I have not tried the steam starting Origin thing. I prefer my games to only need their native client if possible so if a game doesn't only need Steam I would rather just have it where it was born to be.

[quick locust]

Mobile gaming be like

[dry pike]

All those vibrations just to have the computer in a place it is not needed, what a fun but terrible idea 😄

[quick locust]

Well most parts don't get too hurt by vibrations but

They decided to water cool it

Which doesn't sound great when biking

[dry pike]

1 wrong drop of rain could fry the unprotected power supply

extra wear and tear on the ball bearing in all the fans

gulping in the water cooling

bugs flying into the exposed radiator

[quick locust]

Yeah

[dry pike]

cables etc. coming loose

CPU mounting systems are not built for vibrations like that

PR stunt, besides that a disaster of an idea 😄

You can tie a computer to a lot of things and call it "the worlds first computer X"

Worlds first Computer M16

Worlds first Computer sous vide machine

possibilities are endless

[storm osprey]

Pretty sure the 240 would be 1080p

[ripe compass]

After seeing that new trailer, here's to hoping my 2080s still holds up.

[dry pike]

ofc it will

[ripe compass]

Well see. Still no official specs 😕. But will it be enough for 1440p lol.

[plain stag]

gigabyte M27Q

[dry pike]

scroll up 😉

[alpine anvil]

wait what

oh

dang

[plain stag]

Steve needs this kind of a bike

[alpine anvil]

still funny though

[plain stag]

on a mountain bike

[prime jasper]

are here specifications for bf2042 yet?

!!specs

[proud trellis]

no

[prime jasper]

!!spec

!!specs

bruh

[storm osprey]

you need the roles to be able to use commands

!!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.

[prime jasper]

@storm osprey can you ping me when there are any computer reqs

[storm osprey]

i highly doubt i remember to do that

im sure it will get posted in #game-news , which you can sign up for notification in #220326362077069323 @prime jasper

[lean cipher]

how much more input lag does ffr give?

like is it worth it to keep it on cuz it significantly augments fps

[prime jasper]

thank you

[supple bane]

Very very little

I cant feel the difference

[atomic jackal]

so do i mount my gpu fans facing up or down

[mighty turret]

Guys will the game have rt and dlss?

[fair estuary]

fans facing down, away from the processor

[atomic jackal]

and i have to fill all the pin slots right

since some gpus have 8 pin and a 6 pin

so i connect them both right

[arctic crag]

Yes

Be gentle on your gpu it’s like you are holding a woman

[atomic jackal]

so what if my gpu has 2 8 pin slots, but my psu has only one 8 pin?

[arctic crag]

What psu you got?

If it needs 2x8 pin and you have one it wont work

[atomic jackal]

i have the cooler master mwe650w bronze and an asus tuf gaming 3060

i didnt get it yet

[arctic crag]

You need 8+6

[atomic jackal]

for my card?

[arctic crag]

Yes

[atomic jackal]

oh good the psu has 8 and a 6

but why is it stated as 6+2?

[arctic crag]

Because some gpus require 6 pin only and others 8+6

[atomic jackal]

i see

so i can use the psu with the gpu without any problem right?

[arctic crag]

Give me a sec

Yeah it will be fine

As the rtx 3060 only needs 550w you have 650w

[atomic jackal]

what are the other peripheral connectors and stuff for?

[storm osprey]

you can only mount it facing down

mouse with fan built in

[oak ibex]

comfortable

[vast valley]

Uh that is wicked cool.

[storm osprey]

literally

[heady pawn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/680928395399266314/868244593655824475/video1-3.mp4
I think I know why gpus are so expensive rn

[vast valley]

That.. makes me want to cry.

[lean cipher]

ok

[arctic crag]

ffs another useless piece of technology and waste of resources

[storm osprey]

this is literally innovation

[arctic crag]

Are you serious rn?

[storm osprey]

never

[arctic crag]

I thought so

Why tf would you put a fan on a mouse

[storm osprey]

to keep your palms from getting sweaty

moms spaghetti

[supple bane]

i could actually use that. my hands get so sweaty

[storm osprey]

see, innovation

[arctic crag]

Yeah

Mine doesn’t

[storm osprey]

youre a lizard people thats why

[arctic crag]

Nah lol i use air conditioner most of the day it’s like winter in my room

[storm osprey]

you dont ever get gamer sweats?

[arctic crag]

I mean in long run yeah but not much

[storm osprey]

youre not gaming hard enough

[arctic crag]

Ye

[vast valley]

I get gamer sweats all the time. It's horrible hahaha

[storm osprey]

do i have an innovative mouse for you

[arctic crag]

Mouse material also plays a role

[vast valley]

I'm a console player.

So... controller sweats

[arctic crag]

Which controller are ya using

[vast valley]

Elite series 2

[arctic crag]

That’s nice

Sucks to have sweaty hands

[storm osprey]

thats when you know youre gamin

[arctic crag]

Are you gym guy?

[supple bane]

honestly gaming is the only time i like really drip with sweat

i dont really get it. i think it might have something to do with AC

[storm osprey]

nah, thats just when you know youre REALLY gamin

anything else is just a pre gamin

[supple bane]

when i was on vacation the hotel had a gym, and on the treadmill there i would sling sweat off my forehead. despite it being a cool room. but i could go for a run outside in the heat and i would barely sweat at all

[storm osprey]

you ran out of sweat

[supple bane]

and im the same with gaming, when i have my AC on i have like drops of sweat

[arctic crag]

That’s weird

[proud trellis]

only time i sweat when playing games is when im last alive on something and i have to try and win us the round

[supple bane]

yeah i shake when that happens

[proud trellis]

puts me under pressure

[supple bane]

and it really is annoying in shooters

[arctic crag]

Cod mw 2 I can relate

[supple bane]

i like shiver. and it really messes with your aim

[proud trellis]

when i hear someone outside in tarkov i just freeze and my heart starts racing

and then they end up coming from behind me because the audio is shit in the game

[vast valley]

It's so bad lol.

I want to get new grips.

[proud trellis]

on my old mouse im pretty sure my grips come off because my hands were getting to hot or something

[vast valley]

Man, my anxiety flares up so bad when that happens.

Sometimes I clutch, most times I don't.

Lol

[proud trellis]

depends what game im playing most the time

i probs die most the time though

[arctic crag]

All the time?or in specific season?

[proud trellis]

pretty much daily because at the time i was playing R6 alot and i used to get really hot when last alive and put under pressure

[vast valley]

Any competitive shooter, it happens to me.

MMOs, though.. not at all haha.

[proud trellis]

lol

[arctic crag]

Yeah normal

[proud trellis]

the grips just slid off at one point and then i just didnt use them and it was a horrible mouse to use

it used to irritate my finger

when the grips were took off

[arctic crag]

What was that mouse?

Steelseries?

[proud trellis]

it was a razer mamba

[arctic crag]

Razer is shit

[proud trellis]

the grips were glued on so im not suprised they fell off

looked like some shitty glue they used

[vast valley]

I like Logitech equipment.

[proud trellis]

i have a logitech mouse now

[arctic crag]

Man of culture

[arctic crag]

Another man of culture

[proud trellis]

i still have a razer keyboard though

this keyboard is nice

[vast valley]

My first gaming headset ever was a Logitech

[proud trellis]

hope it lasts me a long time

i mainly used to use turtle beach when i was on console for headsets

[arctic crag]

Mine was 5$ Chinese one lol

[proud trellis]

they was like the main company i would use

[vast valley]

Turtle Beach headsets aren't built to last.

[proud trellis]

i dont use them at all now

[vast valley]

After a month of solid use, taking them on/off, the plastic above the ear muff broke.

[arctic crag]

Right now I’m using high quality studio headphones

[vast valley]

Had the entire right ear hanging.

[proud trellis]

mins ended up cracking half the time

[arctic crag]

Headsets suck

[proud trellis]

the whole headset would just crack in half

[vast valley]

I have a cheap $20 pair off of Amazon

And it works great

[arctic crag]

I would recommend getting a good quality headphones and mic better than headset

[supple bane]

^

[vast valley]

I need to get another RIG.

[proud trellis]

i dont use a headset anymore i have seperate equipment

[vast valley]

RIGs are GREAT.

[storm osprey]

razer viper mini is easily the best budget mouse out though

especially at its sale 20-30 dollar price

[supple bane]

fifine k669b + headphones will cost you like 80 pounds and will be better mic and audio quality compared to any headset of the same price. for sure

[arctic crag]

I perfer audio technica m50x

[proud trellis]

i wish they did a white fifine

they only do a black/pink one i think

[storm osprey]

fifine is a mic

[proud trellis]

yes

[arctic crag]

Oh

[supple bane]

best mic for less than 50 bucks change my mind

blue snowball can do one

[storm osprey]

ehhh, i mean an XLR mic would probably be better, but require more equipment

[supple bane]

im sorry

but you eint getting an XLR mic for less than 50 bucks

[storm osprey]

yea you can

[proud trellis]

one of my friends tried to get me to go for the blue snowball but it just seems like it would get in my face for some reason

[storm osprey]

you can get a whole XLR set up for 90 bucks iirc

[supple bane]

you can get a mic and interface for 50 bucks ?

and such budget equipment would be better than the k669b?

[storm osprey]

you can get a mic

[supple bane]

yeah but an XLR mic without an interface is a paper weight

[storm osprey]

yea i said that...

damnit granty REAAAAD

[supple bane]

i dididiidididiidsif

[vast valley]

I want to also get back into streaming. Maybe when I'm not working 60 hour weeks I can get back into it... some of these suggestions are very insightful.

[supple bane]

im saayyyinnng. you can get a MIC for 50 bucks. but that doesnt count

my point is the k669b is the best mic setup for under 50 bucks. and no xlr setup will cost less than 50 bucks. end of

[arctic crag]

Corsair rmx or seasonic focus?

Which is better

[storm osprey]

iirc the same?

i dont recall if the rmx line uses seasonics psus

[supple bane]

yanno corsair powersupplies are made by seasonic right?

[arctic crag]

yes

[storm osprey]

not all of corsair psus are provided by seasonic

but their good psus are

[arctic crag]

My question is which is better because both are priced the same

[storm osprey]

@supple bane there used to be a shure mic and behringer audio interface combo that was like.. 70 bucks

i cant find it anymore =[

[supple bane]

im not very good with psus, but i imagine that they are both very good

[storm osprey]

i would default to seasonic since i trust that brand in general

which is a rare statement

looking at psu tier list, the corsasir rmx has certain years that are apparently good and other that arent

[arctic crag]

RMX is top tier

Focus is tier lower

What the shit

[arctic crag]

They say rmx 2018-2020 is good older model is garbage

[storm osprey]

top tier is 2015 and 2018

[arctic crag]

Oh

[storm osprey]

idk if theres a way to tell what year your psu came from before purchasing

seasonic still falls in the same tier, there just minor issues or lack of info

[arctic crag]

Focus gx the 2020 model of focus plus

[storm osprey]

the psu you are looking at is focus gx?

[arctic crag]

Yes

[storm osprey]

oh, well thats in the same tier without any problems

[arctic crag]

I will stick with it then

Ty

[supple bane]

i should have looked at getting a better powersupply. but honestly its lasted me this long, im probably only a year or two from a fat upgrade anyway so. meh.

[storm osprey]

yea i had a shit psu that is now in my friends build thats still going strong

[supple bane]

its a corsair psu so its at least a reputable brand

[storm osprey]

actually i have a few shit psus in other peoples builds now

[supple bane]

but its an OLD vs550,

[arctic crag]

My old mobo got burnied because i bought a cheap ass chinese psu

[storm osprey]

ok yea, dont go THAT cheap

my old psus were just budget picks

[supple bane]

ive actually kinda been planning out my next build already

even though its like a year or more away

[storm osprey]

i had a evga supernova for 5 years, the fan started clicking, got a new supernova g3 as a replacement

[arctic crag]

Oh warranty?

Or you bought one

[storm osprey]

evga psus come with a 10 year warranty

their customer service is tops notch too

[arctic crag]

That’s really nice

[storm osprey]

pretty sure most seasonic psus come with a 10 year warranty as well

[supple bane]

Evga support has the best support out of any brand afaik

Gpus, motherboards, powersupplies, anything

[arctic crag]

It is

[arctic crag]

Actually i’m asus fanboy

[proud trellis]

my cpu cooler has a 7 year warrenty

[storm osprey]

i heard asus support is shit though

[proud trellis]

why are cpu cooler warrentys so long

[arctic crag]

Yes garbage

[storm osprey]

lol

[storm osprey]

unlikely to fail

[supple bane]

Not as bad as gigabyte support

[storm osprey]

ive only dealt with razer and evga support

[supple bane]

My gigabyte gpu had a fan rattle issue. I asked and they told me to download gpu z and send logs

Mm yes, logs on a physical problem

[arctic crag]

My friend broke his gpu fan while cleaning that was in 2017 he had a gtx 1070 he contacted Asus and they said you will be charged 230$

[proud trellis]

i dont think razer support is very good

i only contacted them once though

[storm osprey]

they were ok with me

they were stupid with my friend

[proud trellis]

lol

[arctic crag]

It was a fan blade mate

[supple bane]

No. MY problem

Read again 😋

[arctic crag]

Oh

But Asus mostly makes good products

[storm osprey]

they do, its just commonly they charge more than its worth

they are the poster boy for slapping "gamerfied" on their products and charging 20% more for it

hell the only time in recent memory they provided a product better than its price was the recent tuf gpus

[arctic crag]

Yeah

[arctic crag]

Asus strix gpus are the best

The lowest temps for a normal cooling

Then we have water cooling

[supple bane]

Lowest temp is "best" when it comes to a card

[storm osprey]

what about boooooooosting

[supple bane]

Power delivery, max power limit, quietness, max boost all are just as important

[arctic crag]

I saw a strix water cooled rtx 3080 ti temps were like 52c max lol

But it costs 3000$ so…

[storm osprey]

yea but like... how much was it and how much more fps did you get?

[arctic crag]

I got 20% fps boost because it has rgb

[storm osprey]

only if the color is red

[arctic crag]

I’m 100% sure it was designed for rich people

[dry pike]

Red is often the rgb color that uses the least power so that leaves more power to the graphics than other colors

[fading charm]

Retail? Or scalper prices

Msrp is 2200$ but you can’t find it lower than 3000$

[fading charm]

wait for the 3080 ti????

[visual quail]

anyone know a good headset

[heady pawn]

[chrome skiff]

My triple fan zotac 3080ti overclocked does 63c max and undervolted does 54c with 70% fan curve (cant hear it) Room temp is 70f or 21c. Memory temps are only 10c higher.

[restive light]

will 2042 have fidelityfx super resolution?

[terse steeple]

probably in the future

rn, they're partnered with nvidia for dlss 2.0

[latent light]

Battlefield isn't exclusive to Nvidia by any means

[restive light]

hope so for the sake of my 1070

really want over 100fps

dont care about graphics

[terse steeple]

if you can run BFV fine with that GPU

then you can definitely with the next one

[coarse nimbus]

over 100 fps?

new engine so its not the same thing as V

[terse steeple]

with 100 fps very unlikely

[terse steeple]

when did they say its a new engine? ea play?

[marsh gull]

razer blackshark v2X

[visual quail]

I’ll check it out

[gritty mulch]

definitely not worth it

fixing a fan on a gpu is actually really simple

plenty of tutorials online on how to do it

[marsh gull]

it has a reasonable price (50usd). good base and sound , good noice canceling, feels premium and comfortable, has a pretty good build quality

[prime jasper]

It is a new engine

[toxic zealot]

no way its new engine

[prime jasper]

They are adding more destruction, more fidelity, smoke effects are larger as you could see in the sand storm, tornado. The increase of players alone is asking for a more powerful engine.

[toxic zealot]

Its just newer version of frostbite

[prime jasper]

Aye. Its frostbite but with a new engine tho.

Like its upgraded

[terse steeple]

wat

where did they say that

i just wanna know where

[toxic zealot]

new engine is like saying they are using unreal now

[terse steeple]

^

[toxic zealot]

i mean its obvious

Its upgraded

[terse steeple]

yes you can say its upgraded

but if its an entirely new engine like u said @prime jasper

then thats a different result

[toxic zealot]

No way bf4-bfv frostbite can run 128 players smoothly and render tornados with vehicle physics

And sync it

[terse steeple]

no answer

ok

[toxic zealot]

assuming it is smooth tho

Hopefully not cyberpunk launch

They prob worked on it for a while

even if they rewrote major part of frostbite its still the same engine

[terse steeple]

eh

thats the thing we should be worried about

launch unable to hold in 128 player servers

[toxic zealot]

well yea

so what happens when 128 players decide to go into single spot on a map

[lucid hollow]

i have pretty much one of the strongest single pc gaming setups money can buy right now and I expect to lose 60-80 fps from what i get on bfv

which is already not really that great

but i guess way better than what other people have

[toxic zealot]

I dont see why people would lose 80 fps

Unless they completely screwed optimization

[lucid hollow]

double the players, the game is literally never optimized, its DICE, they'll find a way

dont worry

[toxic zealot]

Wdym by its never optimized

lol

[lucid hollow]

doesnt run that well at all lol

it really doesnt

[toxic zealot]

bf4 is one the best looking games for its age

[lucid hollow]

oh uyou are talking about BF4?

[toxic zealot]

And runs on todays standard potato gpu

[lucid hollow]

bf4 runs incredibly

im talking bfv

[toxic zealot]

yea

[lucid hollow]

BF4 runs insane. I have to cap my fps to 500 lol

[toxic zealot]

you get 500 fps?

how lol

[lucid hollow]

3090 + 5950x + custom ram timings + stripped OS

lol

i have a nasa pc because I need it

[toxic zealot]

isnt bf4 capped at 200 fps anyway

[lucid hollow]

the default engine cap is 200

you can disable that with gametime.maxvariablefps 0 in the console

that uncaps FPS

you can set a custom FPS limit as well

[toxic zealot]

thinking about it i should check out 4k downsampling

[lucid hollow]

u play @ 4k?

[toxic zealot]

i dont have 4k display

but my card can run it at 4k

[lucid hollow]

Ah, well I'm super sweaty so I just run all low settings for max fps and shit

[toxic zealot]

lmao

[lucid hollow]

i turn everything up on singleplayer games tho

[terse steeple]

BRUH

[lucid hollow]

what lol

[terse steeple]

where'd you get the money man!

[lucid hollow]

work

[terse steeple]

oh

[lucid hollow]

and I got the parts through luck

[terse steeple]

yes of course work.

time to work my ass off for an RTX 3070 Ti I promised myself to get at the end of the year.

[lucid hollow]

acquire the bread

[terse steeple]

Can I see a pic of your system?

damn ur pc is a beast

[arctic crag]

Yea he bought the blades from eBay for 30$ and fixed it himself

[lucid hollow]

I have some on twitter i think

[terse steeple]

link link

[near rune]

Does he not know enders is a twitch partner

[lucid hollow]

not everyone knows who I am

lol

in fact, basically nobody does considering BF has been dead the past 3 years

[brittle cloud]

don't bother there's an imperceptible increase in quality you're basically just wasting GPU power

especially if you're gaming at 1080p, which I assume you are.

[hidden plover]

i notice the difference on metro exodus

i play 1440p

but sometimes i scale up the resolution

[brittle cloud]

well you just answered your own question

[hidden plover]

playing 4k on a 1080p monitor is kind of a waste

[brittle cloud]

mm

[hidden plover]

unless you are fine with playing on 60 fps

its just a little bit sharper

[near rune]

4k gaming is literally just marketing

[hidden plover]

but playing 4k on 1440p makes it look pretty good

[near rune]

Everyone will either way play on low 1080p for max fps

[brittle cloud]

yeah

[hidden plover]

it depends on what game though

[near rune]

Fps games

[hidden plover]

yj

yh

[supple bane]

playing at 4k on a 1440p monitor will look the exact same as playing on 1440p

any improvement is just placebo

the monitor only has so many pixels. it cant just magically create more pixels to make it look better

[ancient ridge]

just such a buzz kill

finally installing the game for a second time on Xbox game pass

launching game going into server

thats so sad

and i remember everytime i try to launch bf3 back then

gosh knows how I even got that working

but eventually it ended up working from whatever i did becaue punkbuster, discord overlay

Do i have to make a new windows after installing a new ram?

[supple bane]

no

Ok nice

[mystic grotto]

does anyone know why my frames drop and stutter when playing bfv these are my specs
AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
GTX 1660 S
970 samsung evo plus 1 tb
16 gb DDR4 ram 3200mhz

[midnight crypt]

What settings are you running?

[mystic grotto]

i changed my settings to play at 1080p and then to limit fps at 60, i was running the low mode or whatever its called

what are the recommended settings i should be turning on/off

[arctic crag]

Does these drops happen only in bfv?

[mystic grotto]

yeah only bfv

[arctic crag]

Make sure future frame rendering is on

It’s in game settings

Video setting to be specific

[marsh gull]

is your ram in single channel?

[mystic grotto]

wym

future frame rendering on? i thought that wasnt a preferred thing @arctic crag

[arctic crag]

It will cause a little bit of input lag

But you will see some good performance increase

[toxic zealot]

Lol

You guys lmao

did you ever use 30 inch 4k

I guarantee you 4k is liKe 5 times cleaner than 1080p

[toxic zealot]

It can

its called better accuracy

or rather estimation

if game doesnt have good aa(which very most of games dont) 4 times display native res forces the best aa

Doesnt work out as well as 1080p to 4k tho

display doesnt just ignore more pixels

[toxic zealot]

Its so imperceptible that it worked for me on every game i ran it on lol

[supple bane]

meh. i can see where you are coming from but i dont think that will improve quality

[toxic zealot]

Im not arguing with anyone thats just facts how supersampling works

Unless cleaner pixels arent better quality

1440 to 4k can be sketchy ofc

Depends on game

[arctic crag]

I see

So you’re telling us you’re a rich dude having enough money to buy 4K monitor 30inches

[toxic zealot]

No i just happened to see one

Also 4k displays nowdays are cheap

[supple bane]

a 4k 60hz monitor arent that expensive actually

4k 144hz are expensive though

[toxic zealot]

if you consider msrp prices of 30xx its not even that hard anymore to run games at 4k

[prime jasper]

anyone know why im only getting 20- 40 fps on battlefield 1 , ive just installed it. ive got an i5 3470, 12gb ram, and a gtx 1050 ti. so over the minimum requierments

[lean cipher]

is there an app where i can convert my bf sens to other games

[near rune]

Uh idk about battlefield

[lean cipher]

ok

[near rune]

You can google

I remember there are some calculators where you put the value

And then try it for other games

Like cs go

[arctic crag]

Yes https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/

[lean cipher]

OK thanks @arctic crag

[supple bane]

ordered a new mouse pad

logitech g440. ive never tried a hard mousepad before so. its an experiment

i probably could have gotten one that was cheaper but, im already invested in the logitech ecosystem so may as well go all the way with it

[arctic crag]

The hard one?

Hard surface

[supple bane]

Yes

[proud trellis]

i had a little hard mousepad when i first got pc and it was alright

[supple bane]

well it comes tomorrow so i look forward to giving it a try

i heard something about them wearing the skates down on your mouse. a photo provided showed a mouse that had rounded skates, and they had clearly been warn down. but the g502 is flat so i dont think it will matter to much

[molten bramble]

That's a great website! Thanks for sharing.

[arctic crag]

You're welcome

[gritty mulch]

Good call on his behalf

[wintry prairie]

Just type:
gametime.maxvariablefps 0

to get max fps?

I just installed my new GPU and Monitor.

[lucid hollow]

That uncaps the FPS

[wintry prairie]

Great, thanks

[atomic jackal]

guys how do i get over the fear of the possibility of me breaking my gpu, a very expensive one at that

im just so scared id damage it via trying to mount it

[supple bane]

you would have to do something VERY stupid to break a gpu installing it

[arctic crag]

Hold it gently like you’re holding a woman

[atomic jackal]

ive never held a woman

[atomic jackal]

by the way, do psus have like a switch to turn on before booting the pc?

[arctic crag]

Ummmm error data not found

[arctic crag]

Yeah

[atomic jackal]

ive seen some videos where the guy switches a button or something before booting the pc

my psu is an "adaptable" one so im worried id choose the wrong voltage or something while trying to turn it on

it should say "on/off" on the button though, i hope

[arctic crag]

Don’t worry it’s hard to mess that switch

[quick locust]

Have it short between two reference clock pins and die

Which my 2080 did

Big black area around the pins

Between ref + and -

Pin 13 and 14 I think? Forgot

Well not during install but didn't last long in use

[prime jasper]

Hello , looking for a new computer to get in the next year, should I buy an old prebuilt with an i7 or get a brand new prebuilt with an i3

Budget is £600

[bronze tulip]

do it yurself , save all the money you can and get a new gen I5

as i3 will be shit

[quick locust]

Also find out specific one

There's a lot of i3 and i7

[prime jasper]

Well , my budget is quite small, so an i3 10th gen or an i7 7th gen or older, no older than a 3rd gen tho

Can’t afford a brand new i5 pc as I’m only 15 , and I’ll have more important and bigger things to save up for in the near future

[quick locust]

What about ryzen

[prime jasper]

Still too expensive for me, ryzen prebuilts are only about £50 cheaper than intro

Intel not intro

I have an i5 3470 atm

Just need something to play games at 60 FPS, 1080p low, for a fe years

[quick locust]

Which i3

10300 is pretty much like i7 7700

And 10325

[prime jasper]

there something very wrong with my bf1. got an i5 3rd gen 12gb ram and gtx 1050 ti, only get 30-50fps. on bf5 i get 50-6-

[wintry prairie]

I believe you should get more FPS in BF5, as it is "more" optimized with nVidia. BF2042 with DLSS and Reflex integrated should help boost your FPS even further. 🙂

[prime jasper]

so on 2042 ill get better performance than 5

do you think a cpu upgrade would help with bf1

[midnight crypt]

You have a real odd amount of ram

[prime jasper]

12 isnt odd

4,8,12,16,32 is normal

[rustic dome]

y'all think a 3070 can handle the new game max settings at 1080p with 144fps? (with a 5600x)

[wintry prairie]

It is possible under the same scenario. But BF2042 will be a "bigger" game, so that will effect your outcome. Bigger maps, twice the amount of players, etc.

[wintry prairie]

I would think so.

[midnight crypt]

But how is your ram split up

[rustic dome]

ok cuz that

that is what i am running

[midnight crypt]

Is it 4,4,4 or 4,8

[prime jasper]

4,4,4

8 isnt enough and i dont need 16

[near rune]

I had 12gb of ram on a laptop before

8gb and 4gb sticks

[prime jasper]

12 is enough for a game and discord, nut 8 is barely enough for just a game

[near rune]

On my current pc i always use 8gb+ of ram

It just isnt enough these days

To have 8gb

[midnight crypt]

Running 3 sticks probably killed dual channel

[near rune]

Dual means 2

So no you don't have dual channel

Theres the sacrifise of ram stability

For extra ram

[midnight crypt]

I mean Intel does have something called ram flex

That would run 2 in dual channel and the one in single

If I understood it correctly

[prime jasper]

my performance hasnt gone down, its gon up

[storm osprey]

took maybe 13 miuntes to download 66gb, gigabyte is crazy

[runic valve]

high speed internet is very pog

[latent light]

When you got gigabit internet you need a SSD for storage transfer rate to keep up with the download speed

HDD are a bottleneck

[gleaming socket]

is this an attractive ssd deal? https://www.amazon.com/WD_Black-SN750-Battlefield-Bundle-WDBB9J0010BNC-NRSN/dp/B099FNMV34?th=1

[fallen harbor]

i keep hearing people say the lifespan of ssds is shorter than that of hdds but hdds are way more delicate and I keep seing hdds die and never seen an ssd die

what am i not understanding here?

[terse steeple]

Because SSDs die in like 10 years

While hdds can last waaaaay longer than that

[fallen harbor]

your nickname and pfp freak the hell out of me ngl

[terse steeple]

Yeah because I'm gonna wreck you in the traintracks

[fallen harbor]

not again

[fallen harbor]

I mean, this makes sense, but is it normal for hdds to not normally meet this long lifespan and break before due to movement or overuse?

or, maybe not break

but get super slow

every time i get my hands over a laptop i see them being super slow because the disk is always 100%

or spiking a lot

couldnt this be because the hard drives get damaged after moving the laptop around for long?

[terse steeple]

you somehow managed to fuck up the hard drive

[terse steeple]

oh yeah there are different SSD types.

[fleet robin]

I've had to change my buddies HDD out on his laptop, it was always at 100% usage. Even at idle.

[terse steeple]

some like the SATA 2.5 SSDs can last longer than HDD.

[fallen harbor]

ic

[fleet robin]

I prefer 2.5" SSDs over HDDs.

[cloud solar]

where the hell did you get this info lmao

[terse steeple]

buildapc discord

[storm osprey]

lul

i wouldnt trust 90% of what comes out of that server

[cloud solar]

well i wouldnt trust info from there again lmao

[terse steeple]

well majority of the time their correct

[storm osprey]

hardly...

[terse steeple]

but yeah that shit is pretty inaccurate, so discard what i said

[storm osprey]

thats literally why i left buildapc and pcpartpick discords

[cloud solar]

samsung ssds are rated for like 100+ years or smth

[terse steeple]

yeah but overpriced

[storm osprey]

im no pc guru, but the amount of horse shit coming out of those 2 servers were ridiculous

[cloud solar]

overpriced?

theyre the best most reliable ssds on the market

[terse steeple]

im curious of what what stuff they said that made u wanna leave

[cloud solar]

and the warranty is 10 years

[terse steeple]

yeah and thats what makes them overpriced lol

[cloud solar]

not the lifespan lmao

[terse steeple]

10 year warranty + best speed quality there is = overpriced SSD

[cloud solar]

"paying more for a better product means its overpriced"

[terse steeple]

yes

thats exactly what it is shibe

[storm osprey]

not one thing particular like "i doxxed nyphon, heres his info kill him", but just a culmination of shit advice for builds, weak theories backed by nothing, and elitist that say anything is "dog shit" that isnt the absolute best

[cloud solar]

the 3080 is overpriced because the 1060 is like 300$

yeah man, your logic makes tons of sense

[terse steeple]

thats a pretty unfair comparison, but alright.

[cloud solar]

you see why its stupid now?

[terse steeple]

It isn't.

[cloud solar]

sure you can get a no name brand for 20$ but that doesnt mean its gonna be good lmao

[terse steeple]

Aye, if you think it is, go ahead.

[storm osprey]

its not really an accurage analogy

[terse steeple]

SN550, MP33 serves them better for a cheaper price really.

They pretty much offer the same quality speed at a cheaper pricing.

[storm osprey]

should be something like comparing a zotac 3080 to a strix 3080

[terse steeple]

But alright, go with the overpriced Samsung SSDs.

[storm osprey]

and samsung ssds are overpriced FOR a vast majority of people/gaming

[terse steeple]

that's what I am saying

[storm osprey]

you have a blanket statement

[terse steeple]

well you answered what i wanted to say so points done

[storm osprey]

youre welcome

[terse steeple]

appreciate it pal

[cloud solar]

sn550 is the same price as a 980

[terse steeple]

which one exactly?

500gb? 1tb? 2tb?

[cloud solar]

1tb

the highest the 980 goes

for 250 the samsung is 5$ more

[storm osprey]

in usa, theres no way a sn550 costs the same as any samsung ssd with similar stat lines

(outside of sales)

[terse steeple]

Thiis is the M.2 NVME we're talking right?

[cloud solar]

yes

[terse steeple]

Because it says that the 980 is $199 where I am, and $145 for an SN550.

So you're wrong.

[cloud solar]

"youre wrong bc im in a different place"

[storm osprey]

well you cant claim youre right bc youre in a different place...

[terse steeple]

I'm right so far with where it's being sold, of course it's different for you.

Honestly, it's pretty pointless since they all offer different pricing in different countries.

[storm osprey]

(this is why i started my pricing response with my region)

[terse steeple]

But my point is, what Nyphon said is why I go against Samsung SSDs.

Overpriced SSDs.

[cloud solar]

the fact that just bc youre somewhere else and have different data doesnt mean im wrong

[terse steeple]

Well, you should look up MP33 for example.

less than $100 for 1tb, and still offers the same speeds.

[cloud solar]

SAME SPEED AS WHAT LMAO

A HDD?

[terse steeple]

What made you think that?

I'm clearly comparing both Samsung and MP33.

[cloud solar]

alright youre right, it was hyperbole

[terse steeple]

See.

[cloud solar]

but the samsung 980 is still 2x faster lol

[terse steeple]

Well it is if transferring files and shit.

[cloud solar]

yes thats how higher speeds benefit you

do you want an award for that observation?

[terse steeple]

But in-game performance by loading, it's practically the same.

Lag.

My point is, just get what you can afford. I don't go with Samsung SSDs cuz they overpriced as fuck.

[cloud solar]

more expensive and better product does not mean overpriced but whatever

[terse steeple]

Okay, again another point making the samsung SSDs overpriced is that you can get the same performing SSDs as a lower pricing, so why get a samsung when you can get an MP33 for cheaper that offers pretty SIMILAR performance.

[cloud solar]

i dont think half the speed is similar at all

[terse steeple]

most of the time they are in games

other things like transferring files, yes.

[cloud solar]

maybe rn, but games are being optimized more and more for ssds so you might see a difference in newer games as they come out

[terse steeple]

but you're not gonna notice that really?

[terse steeple]

yeah in like a few years time lol

[cloud solar]

big groups of files yeah i will

[terse steeple]

well I believe for the general consumers, probably not.

[cloud solar]

maybe

but id rather have the best speeds i can get so ig its a preference thing

[terse steeple]

That's your preference.

Anyways, good argument, i'd like to see one like these again.

[alpine haven]

What? lol

No.

[terse steeple]

no?

[alpine haven]

No.

Stawp.

[terse steeple]

whats your rebuttal

[alpine haven]

That the argument makes no sense considering the R/W speeds aren't even in the same ballpark.

[terse steeple]

you're not gonna notice those speeds at all, unless you really do care.

[alpine haven]

Heh, okay.

[terse steeple]

but alright if you do, then go ahead and get the fastest m.2 nvme ssd there is.

i dont mind paying an SSD at a reasonable pricing than what the samsung 980 offers, aka mp33.

[alpine haven]

That's outside most people's purse holdings.

[terse steeple]

like if they perform the same in games i play, then whats the fucking point of spending more?

[alpine haven]

Because the majority of folks aren't buying parts just for games.

Games tend to be a sidequest.

[terse steeple]

yeah and im one of those people

anyways, if you can afford it, yeah go buy it.

[latent light]

Navi 31 RX 7900 XT could have 512 MB of Infinity Cache

It's not funny anymore i saw someone asking if he will run the game on gtx 1080 ti

!!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]

no one knows

[south sierra]

Ah tnx

[plain stag]

its DLSS 1.0, which is quite bad, DLSS 2.0 and up is the real deal

[wintry prairie]

True

Then add Reflex to that in 2042 . . .

[plain stag]

it will have it

they are partnered with nvidia

so dlss, reflex, ray tracing

[wintry prairie]

Yes they are 👍

[plain stag]

all available in 2042

[wintry prairie]

no rt

[plain stag]

there will be ray tracing

couple of screenshots suggest it

[supple bane]

they are not partnered with nvidia or amd

[plain stag]

as well as in gameplay videos, sure looks to me that ray traced reflections are a thing

[wintry prairie]

don't want it, it would slow it down, wheras dlss speeds it up

[supple bane]

it will have raytracing and dlss, my money is on it.

[plain stag]

they are partnered with nvidia

[supple bane]

they arent

[plain stag]

they are

[supple bane]

the game would have an nvidia splash screen when the game launches

ususally says "the way its meant to be played"

[plain stag]

otehrwise why would nvidia make an article talking about 2042

talking about nvidia tech thats in 2042

[wintry prairie]

No RT

[supple bane]

wait sorry, they are partnered for bf2042

but they have not been for any other games

i remember jack frags speaking about it now

[wintry prairie]

DLSS - Yes
Reflex - Yes
RT - No

[plain stag]

thats speculation at best, especially coming from a no name gaming news acticle

ray traced reflections are literally a thing in screenshots and gameplay

[wintry prairie]

Welp, Rt alows things down . . . so OK,

[plain stag]

so what

[wintry prairie]

lol

[plain stag]

you dont have to enable it

theres pretty much no point in having dlss if you dont have ray tracing

[wintry prairie]

wut

oh boy

[plain stag]

sure, there is, but dlss exists so you make up the fps lost from ray tracing

[wintry prairie]

Glad you backtracked there . . .

[plain stag]

we just need to see to what extent they use ray tracing for

is it just reflections, or more

maybe ray traced shadows, or GI, who knows

but i almost guarantee you that it will at least have ray traced reflections, especially now that they partnered with nvidia

When I play Battlefield 1 the game keeps getting minimised when using fullscreen... how do I fix this? Playing borderless doesn't work as my performance is just useless.

If I switch from Origin to EA Desktop will this stop being an issue?

[prime jasper]

I have this problem too, I just try not to alt tab

[raven reef]

It's happening to me during games and even in the menu when I'm not pressing anything

I thought I must somehow be alt tabbing but last couple of times I've not even had my hands on the keyboard

[toxic zealot]

No

Dlss is used on its own

[prime jasper]

Oof idk how to help you there then, you might have to consider just playing in windowed or redownloading

[plain stag]

i know, but if youre already gaming at a reasonably high fps then theres no point to use dlss really

and then you go and turn on ray tracing, and your fps tanks, and thats when dlss is at its best

making up the ground lost by turning on ray tracing features

[wintry prairie]

Something is forcing an alt-tab.

[raven reef]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BattlefieldV/comments/g8ot4k/solved_origin_launcher_minimizes_battlefield_1v/

It's basically this

But as people have said it only works for a few days

[plain stag]

lets say im playing 2042 at max settings with 120fps on average, theres no reason for me to turn on dlss if im already having those fps numbers, but then i turn on ray tracing features, and that fps goes down to like 80, and thats when i would turn on dlss to gain like 20-30 fps back

[wintry prairie]

I try to get 360fps+

[solar kestrel]

[plain stag]

if you plan on getting this card

avoid msi at all costs

especially ventus lineup

msi uses very cheap components on this generation

even bellow the founders edition cards

they are utter crap

the only worthwhile card is the suprim x model, which is their top of the line

[wintry prairie]

500+ in BF4

[plain stag]

even the gaming x trio uses pretty mediocre components considering that thats a mid to high end card

[wintry prairie]

Or higher

[arctic crag]

MSI is shit

even their 20series was shit

[plain stag]

gigabyte has a pretty good lineup this generation, gaming oc model is great

eagle oc is alright, vision oc is in the same class

[arctic crag]

I would recommend Asus

[plain stag]

asus is usually the most expensive as they use the most expensive components

[arctic crag]

Yeah
