technology

[fallen harbor]

if anything, it's expected for it to drop some frames

[prime jasper]

so basically enhances your graphics by a bit?

then why are some people saying that it gave them more fps

[fallen harbor]

dunno

might be true for some games

but

the difference would still be super small

[prime jasper]

i'll just keep it on i guess

[fallen harbor]

it's a new version of the overall graphics holder or something like that

keep it on if you have a high end pc yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfPLEtXjRF0

[prime jasper]

mine is kinda bad but it doesn't affect my fps by much

should i still keep it on

[fallen harbor]

you seriously saying your pc is kinda bad when you have a 5800 and a 3060ti?

this isn't the meme channel

[prime jasper]

bruh, i bet 90% of the people here have 5950x and 3090

what's dx11?

was it before dx12

[lean cipher]

?

[fallen harbor]

firstly, no. Secondly, anybody that got a 3090 for gaming is a dumbass. Third, less than 1% of worldwide pc players got a 3090

the fact that you dont have the best pc hardware that exists on earth doesnt mean you have a bad pc

there's literally nothing your pc cannot run at 60fps and 1080p and almost nothing that cannot run at 120fps too

more than half people that play videogames do so in consoles, the most powerful console out there isn't stronger than your pc. In the remaining almost half of the playerbase, half people use integrated graphics and laptops both worse than your pc

[prime jasper]

Why the middle finger lol

[primal abyss]

hi, does BF5 server having issue, game keep disconnecting me, I can't go online 😦

[prime jasper]

Probably a console player

does anyone know if EKWBs classic and quantum kits are compattablkewn with each other?

[wintry prairie]

Ask them ;)

[alpine anvil]

I am really tempted to jump back into the Windows 11 previews

Like, really tempted

[nova yew]

it is, though

sure, dx12 supports raytracing

but except that it's supposed to be more optimized

[arctic crag]

Umm if i’m not mistaken i7 9700k is 8C 8T

So why?

[visual quail]

could i go higher?

C is cores right

[arctic crag]

Yes

[visual quail]

i have 6

[arctic crag]

You have i5 8th gen?

[visual quail]

i5-9400

[arctic crag]

How much will you pay for the i7 9700k?

[supple bane]

what gpu do you have? @visual quail

im not sure its worth upgrading to a 9700k from a 9400

and you are paying extra for an overclockable chip on a motherboard that doesnt support overclocking

you are also buying a cpu that is now 2 generations old.

so basiclally no, dont.

[tacit magnet]

Does anyone here have some experience with Steinberg UR22 ? There is one for sale at 50 euros and I was wondering if these work when playing games too. I'm planning on using XLR mics because these mics are damn good at a cheap price and my headphones will sound better. But I'm worried about potential sound latency

[serene spade]

is anyone in need of a 3070 not being sold at a stupid scalper price?

[atomic jackal]

so

i sent my pc to warranty and they mounted a 240mm cooler

so i hope i wont have heat issues now

[errant kite]

You think a i5 7600k may run bf2042 ?

[near rune]

well not alone

and its a gpu heavy game most likely

[errant kite]

I have a gtx 1660 super with that

[near rune]

yeah your good

[ember knot]

im havin a problem connecting to ea servers on bf5

[fallen harbor]

that's not what the benchmark videos show as a result. The only exception being Frostbite games which only have an increase of like 5fps still

[weary cypress]

ye that's typical

still debating sending back my 3060

[pastel sandal]

Recently

Ryzen

Autocorrect

[fallen harbor]

why, if i may ask

[weary cypress]

Poor performance

[fallen harbor]

whats ur cpu?

[weary cypress]

i7 8700k clocked at 4.9ghz

[fallen harbor]

yeah you could get something stronger

tbh ngl imho

if you had the money

[weary cypress]

i could

[fallen harbor]

id go for 3070

[weary cypress]

but that isn't the issue

Eh

I'll upgrade if it dies

[fallen harbor]

it wont die if you treat it decently enough tho

[weary cypress]

I know

I sold my 1070ti after 4 years and it outperforms my 3060 in a few games

[fallen harbor]

ah yes that was a poor upgrading choice ngl

[supple bane]

there is something seriously wrong with your setup if a 1070ti is outperfoming a 3060 at all

[weary cypress]

Yep

Unless it's my motherboard

[supple bane]

it was still a poor upgrade, but it should still be an upgrade at that

[fallen harbor]

^

[atomic jackal]

hello guys, are there any chances of aio spilling water/bursting?

i bought an aio but im kinda nervous

[supple bane]

:(

i told you you didnt need to >:((

[weary cypress]

Oh i'm aware, but for the games I play, my 1070ti was showing its age

[supple bane]

and no, there is no chance of that happening

[atomic jackal]

well i sent it to warranty, the guy said he changed the paste but it was still running hot

[supple bane]

well. i doubt you will do any overclocking so enjoy the wasted money i guess

[atomic jackal]

yeah i probably wont but i just wanted to be sure

[supple bane]

like i said. wasted money.

[atomic jackal]

[fallen harbor]

if you want to cool your cpu better than with the stock cooler just in case, get an hyper 212 or an id se 903, not watercooling

[supple bane]

its a r5 3600 that wont be overclocked

[weary cypress]

or just get a decent aio

[pastel sandal]

I've had a corsair one for 3 years running max half the time and no problems they have made many improvements to the AIOs over the years just don't buy anything off-hand stuff

[supple bane]

its a 65w chip.

[atomic jackal]

off hand?

you mean like 2nd hand or something

[fallen harbor]

my cousin's r5 3600 gets to almost 80 very frequently tbh id put an hyper 212 or something similar to it, but not water cooling or anything more expensive than that

a small but big enough dedicated dissipation will do

[supple bane]

yeah. hyper 212 is more than enough for a 3600.

water cooling is complete overkill

[weary cypress]

80? my CPU clocked at 4.9 never hits above 68

jesus

[fallen harbor]

shrug

might be his small case

and lack of case fans

but then again it's winter here

[supple bane]

yeah a stock cooler relies on good airflow

[fallen harbor]

so idk

[weary cypress]

well true I do haave 8 fans

[fallen harbor]

i built his pc on a normie office case because he bought the parts last year soon after the global quarantine and importations of these products were closed for some time so any normal case was like 300usd

so i used one from my workplace

he should get a bigger one now tbh but he's unemployed now so

problems

[pastel sandal]

I meant to say like bad brands the ones that have poor quality control or any used ones 😕 just saying

I've always bought new

[atomic jackal]

oh

i understand

why would you buy a used aio lmao

[pastel sandal]

The world is a crazy place

People desperate enough

[weary cypress]

[pastel sandal]

Si

[weary cypress]

i guess standard definition versus high definition?

dunno

if you got an usb headset id go for the latter

wait both say hd

nvm

[native cape]

yeah, the other one says universal

dunno what to pick tho, but the other one is old

what's so suspicious is the latest had its file size less

while the old is big

[nova yew]

i've always used the normal one

[native cape]

the 2019 ver?

[nova yew]

yea

[native cape]

oh, i see

[nova yew]

i still am using it

works fine

[atomic jackal]

aesthetics i guess

[pastel sandal]

True

[atomic jackal]

but im not going to risk 1500 dollar components for "aesthetics"

[native cape]

i seee, i guess ill choose this too, realtek drivers from windows update gives me stutter sounds 😂

so i figured, maybe searching my motherboard model and look for its driver might fix it

[pastel sandal]

That's what I'm saying I rather buy something a bit more expensive and top brand than something a few bucks off

[atomic jackal]

yeah

[weary cypress]

bruh

this bitch ended the chat after i sent benchmarks

no return for my 3060

[fallen harbor]

wdym sent benchmarks

[weary cypress]

she asked for some images about my 3060 benchmarks

which are 100% fine

but in-game performance is fucking shite

[fallen harbor]

how much shite

[weary cypress]

I can dm you the benchmarks if you wanna take a look

very shite

[fallen harbor]

but like

[weary cypress]

only game that runs well is r6s

[fallen harbor]

its most likely not the gpu tbh

[weary cypress]

Not my CPU either

that's the thing

I can't figure it out:D

[fallen harbor]

did you like, plug the pcie wire

are you sure your pc is detecting all the ram modules

are you sure youre not overheating

[weary cypress]

Surprisingly my 3060 only requires 1 power cable

[weary cypress]

Yes, all temps are good

[fallen harbor]

is your game installed in an ssd or hdd

[dry pike]

3060 doesn't require the power to utilize 2 power cables so makes sense

[fallen harbor]

if hdd, check the hdd usage on task manager

[weary cypress]

I understand that, it's just surprising for me since all my previous cards ran on 2

[pastel sandal]

Post them here let's see them

[weary cypress]

no pic perms

D:

[fallen harbor]

newer generations require less power

[pastel sandal]

Ohh that sucks

Let me see them too

[fallen harbor]

give some of us the pictures and we will post them here

[dry pike]

You don't know how much power of those 2 cables they actually used. Many cards have 1 more power connector than needed in case users do some heavy overclocking + because they sell better.

[weary cypress]

Alright, the benchmarks are 100% normal from what I was told a few weeks ago

[pastel sandal]

What are your specs like
Cpu
Motherboard
Memory
Storage

[fallen harbor]

what psu do you have

[weary cypress]

corsair rm850

[pastel sandal]

Not bad

[fallen harbor]

did you upgrade your drivers

[pastel sandal]

What about the other specs

[fallen harbor]

the storage is very important and you havent responded to that yet

[weary cypress]

Okay so;

i7 8700k 4.9ghz (all cores)
Corsair Vengeance 32gb (2x16) 3000mhz
Asus TUF RTX 3060v2 OC
Corsair RM850
NZXT Kraken x62 AIO
Gigabyte z370xp

Samsung M.2 NVMe 250gb
Toshiba 2TB hdd x2
Kingston 120gb SSD (OS)

sorry was typing

[fallen harbor]

if the drive where the game is installed is being stressed at 100% by some background process, the games wont run properly

[weary cypress]

Drivers are updated btw

[pastel sandal]

U good

[weary cypress]

I uninstalled with DDU then reinstalled

[fallen harbor]

check the hdd usage

[pastel sandal]

How much was the motherboard

[fallen harbor]

check everything on task manager next time you play a game

[weary cypress]

Uhh it was meant to be 200 at the time but I paid £100

[fallen harbor]

are you sure your computer is detecting your gpu

did you plug your monitor wire into the gpu and not the motherboard

sorry if these are dumb questions ive seen plenty of people doing this wrongly

[weary cypress]

Whenever i check my task manager, literally nothing is on 100% usage
not even my storage drives

[pastel sandal]

Thats weord

Werid

[weary cypress]

Yes, both my DP and HDMI are in the GPU

[fallen harbor]

DP?

[pastel sandal]

What type of motherboard is

It

[weary cypress]

I run my main monitor off DP, second one is HDMI since it doens't support DP

Display Port

[fallen harbor]

oh

uuuh

[weary cypress]

let me grab a link

[fallen harbor]

what frame rate do you get in other demanding games

[weary cypress]

https://www.scan.co.uk/products/gigabyte-z370xp-sli-intel-z370-s-1151-ddr4-sata3-dual-m2-2-way-sli-3-way-crossfire-intel-gbe-usb31-g

[fallen harbor]

the motherboard cant be the problem

whats your ram

[weary cypress]

Wouldn't class GTA as "demanding" but 60fps on low
Insurgency Sandstorm around 60-70 on low

Rainbow six siege is 400+ which is the only game that runs properly

I don't play any other demanding games

[fallen harbor]

also i need a proper definition of games running like shit

[pastel sandal]

Did you put the ram in the right slots

[weary cypress]

Yes

[weary cypress]

ram is corsair vengeance 2x16 (32gb) 3000mhz

[fallen harbor]

gta can run on lower than 60fps on all maxed settings on a 3060 i think, its highest settings aren't well optimized, it wouldnt surprise me

idk about insurgency though

[dry pike]

GTA likes 1 very fast CPU core more than anything else.

[weary cypress]

Insurgency I'm meant to run perfectly fine max apparently

[fallen harbor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9ujp9A9StA

40fps

[weary cypress]

I'm aware minecraft is poorly optimised but

40fps on a not even demanding shader

Non-shader it's around 200, which my 1070ti got double

[fallen harbor]

this is not your gpus fault, its the game's poor optimization fault, and you need more games to test than just 3

download some battlefield

[weary cypress]

oh one second

I did a BFV test

xd

i forgot

[fallen harbor]

how does it run it

[weary cypress]

So, everything max with DX12, no raytracing n stuff

70fps

On low, maximum i hit was 80

[pastel sandal]

What games you run

[fallen harbor]

are you 100% sure youre not getting high temps during the game

[weary cypress]

BF1 i averaged about 180~
BF4 was around the same, 170~

GPU never goes above 60*C

[pastel sandal]

Open task manager and play your games and see what's happening sometimes its just one thing

That's good

[weary cypress]

Cpu stays below 70*C

[fallen harbor]

what about the gpu

[weary cypress]

doesn't go above 60

it's the triple fan bigboi

https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards-Components/Graphics-Cards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-RTX3060-12G-V2-GAMING/

that one

Also, my card has a switch built-in.

Performance mode - quiet mode

Performance mode averages 60fps less than Quiet mode

[fallen harbor]

as far as i can tell, gpus dont just give little power as a faulty feature, they either work or dont work, or give you visual glitches like lines over the screen. At least this is how it has been all of my life and I've never heard of a case proving the opposite. I really think there's some small thing in some configuration or something plugged in wrongly

[weary cypress]

I checked everything when I plugged it in, the power cable was in tight, checked my PSU to see if it came loose or not

It sags a bit but that isn't the issue

[fallen harbor]

if i couldnt find any explanation id bullshit something to the seller like the pcie slot not working

even though i don't think that's the case

[weary cypress]

well it's on finance

i get it's on pcie 3.0 but even then it shouldn't cause any issues

[fallen harbor]

wdym its on finance

idk what that means

[weary cypress]

i pay monthly for it

[fallen harbor]

when did you get it

[weary cypress]

like 2 months ago

Got warranty registered on Asus

[fallen harbor]

ic

[weary cypress]

and i have a return open, so I can send it back until august 28th

[languid ermine]

I am getting low fps on my rtx 2060 on battlefield 5.

Avg of 45, sometimes 60.

On other games I get 100+ fps on max settings, but BF5 I can't even hit 60 on low.

[prime jasper]

try reinstalling the game

or lower the render resolution

[weary cypress]

tbf a 2060 and 3060 aren't that much different

on a lower res, 1080p no frame difference

[prime jasper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdPtd-1Xjcw&ab_channel=BENCHMARKSFORGAMERS lots of difference??

[languid ermine]

imma reinstall the game

i remmember having 120 at start

[wintry prairie]

GL

[weary cypress]

ah yes a 40fps difference is a lot my bad

[frail fiber]

anyone here know Refractor engine that use to Create game Battlefield?

[weary cypress]

no

[languid ermine]

i think ik why my game broke

[weary cypress]

go on

[languid ermine]

i played during install

and alt+f4d

[weary cypress]

that wouldn't fuck your download up

[languid ermine]

idk then

[weary cypress]

Instead of uninstalling

if you're worried about that

verify your game files

[languid ermine]

i did

it gave me a 10 fps boist for 5 minutes

[weary cypress]

if it helps, I also get 60fps on BFV on a 3060

if nothing else works

[languid ermine]

on ultra?

[weary cypress]

Just assume it's a shitty game optimisation

yes

[wintry prairie]

@languid ermine Have you checked your temps while playing?

[languid ermine]

its a laptop, 75 cpu and 50 gpu

[weary cypress]

ah

[languid ermine]

i5 9th gen, rtx 2060, 16gb ram

[weary cypress]

Laptop GPUs are typically weaker than a Desktop GPU

[languid ermine]

throttle point is 98 for both btw

[wintry prairie]

Yeah, your temps are fine

[languid ermine]

only by 1% low

and not much difference

3% increase

for desktop

[languid ermine]

ill just assume the game is ass in optimization

i get 100-200 on ultra in bf1

tbh bf1 is even better

[weary cypress]

tbf same
BF1 ultra around 180

[wintry prairie]

I guess . . . I was playing BF4 and was hitting the FPS cap of 200 on a 1080ti, I'll have to check BFV

[weary cypress]

200?

damn

[languid ermine]

i get 180 pn bf4

doesnt drop at all, not even capped

bf1 is great tho dude

[wintry prairie]

BF V was supposed to be optimised, DLSS, etc. . . . I guess not

[languid ermine]

so it has 0 optimization

trashy game ngl

[wintry prairie]

Not sure if I want to install it now, lol

[languid ermine]

the graphics of bf1 burn my eyes

[wintry prairie]

ouch

[languid ermine]

bf1 is the best

[proud trellis]

i loved the graphics for BF1 tbf

[languid ermine]

in optimization graphic ratio

[proud trellis]

but now i have played BFV the game seems a bit dark tbf

its kinda annoying

[languid ermine]

bf1 is great

[wintry prairie]

I've played most all BF games, but skipped BF1 and 5. I just got them though, but have not intstalled them.

[languid ermine]

bf1 is great

[fallen harbor]

bf1 is too dark

and i dont like it that much tbh especially because of the guns

[languid ermine]

yes exactly, lets flash 500% saturation in a foggy battlefield

[proud trellis]

yeah it is dark

[languid ermine]

ww1 was dark in general

from all the smoke

[weary cypress]

BF1 is one of the best along with 3 and 4

V could be optimised a LOT better

[languid ermine]

bfV literally has no optimization

[weary cypress]

well

[wintry prairie]

I enjoyed 3&4 a lot

[weary cypress]

my 1070ti got more frames than my 3060

[wintry prairie]

I just upgraded, but my 1080ti ran BF4 GREAT

[wintry prairie]

Which it shouldn't . . . somethings not right

[weary cypress]

tell me about it

[languid ermine]

im starting to think BFV has no support for rtx features

[weary cypress]

it does

just not optimised

[languid ermine]

cant enable dlss

[weary cypress]

you got DX12 turned on?

[wintry prairie]

I'm 99% sure I read that BFV has DLSS

and I have no experience with first gen rtx cards

Oh, DLSS only wrks with SPECIFIC cards at a SPECIFIC resolution, UGH!

"To turn on DXR ray tracing and DLSS in Battlefield V on GeForce RTX PCs and laptops, follow these steps:

Install our new Game Ready Driver
Install Windows 10 October 2018 update (version 1809, or higher)
Download the new February 13th Battlefield V game update from Origin
With everything installed and updated, head to the Graphics Setting menu in Battlefield V, enable DirectX 12, restart the game if prompted, click on Advanced Settings, enable DXR and restart the game if prompted, enable NVIDIA DLSS, then scroll down and select a detail level for the “DXR Reflections Quality” setting."

It won't let me run DLSS either . . .
Getting around 150 fps

[latent light]

My $150 RX 580 is outperforming your RTX 2060 lol

[fallen harbor]

why did so few people get the rx590? i always hear about 570 and 580 but never about 590

[latent light]

590 came out so much later

[fallen harbor]

yeah but i got my 590 like 3 years ago

and havent heard of others owning it

[latent light]

Polaris arch has been out for over 5 years now

[fallen harbor]

i heard the 590 was discontinued shortly after release because some came faulty is that true?

[storm osprey]

wasnt 590 not a lot of performance gains, hotter and used more power?

[latent light]

No

[arctic crag]

Difference between rx 590 and rx 580 is small and rx 580 is a lot cheaper

[storm osprey]

iirc there was just no real reason to buy a 590

[latent light]

RX 590 is a 580 that's on 12nm instead of 14nm

[fallen harbor]

in my country i remember seeing the rx570 for 10k pesos, the 580 for 13k pesos and the 590 for 15k pesos so i naturally went for the 590. Meanwhile, the 1660 was 19k and 1660 super 25k

[latent light]

The efficiency gains from the slightly better node was used for extra clockspeeds

[latent light]

My $150 RX 580 came with 2 free games lol

RE2 remake and Devil may cry 5

[arctic crag]

I believe most 20 series came with a game

Free game

Battlefield V

[storm osprey]

i got cold war with my 3080..

[latent light]

Oof

AMD does a tremendous job with game bundles

[arctic crag]

Infinite sadness

[storm osprey]

yea, it wasnt the best game to bundle

but at least i got one

[latent light]

I remember at some point you got 3 brand new AAA games with purchase of a $300 RX 5600XT

[storm osprey]

was that at the height of their gpus have problems though?

hell i bought a 5700 myself that i had problems with

[arctic crag]

Yeah I remember people complained a lot about rx 5000 series

[latent light]

Drivers

[arctic crag]

Factory defect,drivers problems and more shit

[latent light]

RX 5000 series was pretty much a beta

First major change to Radeon in a decade lol

Had teething problems

I've heard that RX 5000 series had issues down to the silicon

[toxic zealot]

navi 1 is like ryzen 1xxx

the concept of the arch wasnt made to be very good in first gen

[latent light]

First gen Zen was meant to be chiplet based like Zen2 but AMD just didn't have time or money to implement it

Plus if they did use 14nm for a chiplet design it probably would of capped out at 4 cores/8 threads but would of had higher per-core performance than monolithic Zen

[toxic zealot]

so what is the new navi 31 again

Dual.gpu chiplets 3d. Stacking infinity fabric working as singular gpu?

From.leaks

[latent light]

3D stacked Infinity Cache, up to 512MB

2 graphics chips, 1 main chip and a slave chip that uses some interconnect to make it act like 1 chip

Intel is doing this too with DG2

Up to 2.5x higher rasterization

3x more cores

32GB VRAM

256-bit bus

18 Gbps GDDR6

If you have 1080p or 1440p monitor, don't bother buying the RTX 4090 or RX 7900XT

4K 144Hz gonna become way more viable

Perhaps even 4K 240Hz as well lol

Navi 31 gonna be around $2000 msrp

Easily

[wintry prairie]

No matter if my settings where high or low my fps was the same, around 160 fps

[keen shore]

Is 1440p worth to upgrade to?

[ivory creek]

so how big are the chances that rtx 4070 consumes more power than rtx 3090? because sites say that recommended for 3900x and rtx 3090 is a 850w psu. which is what im using today

[storm osprey]

depends, if you want 27" or bigger, yes, if youre fine with 24" no.

[languid ermine]

im getting 60 fps

tf

reinstalled

[keen shore]

Honestly im pretty satisfied with 1080p 24” but I’m planning to get RTX 3060ti and some people told me that I won’t benefit from it

That the gpu is meant for 1440p

[languid ermine]

bf5 has always had random performance problems

[storm osprey]

uhhh those people are talking out their ass @keen shore

if youre 1080p 60fps gaming, sure thats a bit of a waste

[keen shore]

So they’re saying that I won’t use the full power of the gpu

[languid ermine]

seems like they never fixed the rtx 20 issue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMHwNK2kHFY

[keen shore]

144hz

[storm osprey]

i mean, on games like overwatch youll murder fps even at max settings

[keen shore]

I just want a stable framerate above 144hz that is all

no lag spikes and such issues

[storm osprey]

but games like rdr 2, cyberpunk, metro, valhalla, etc at max settings youll sit around 144 fps

[ivory creek]

yeah it depends on the game, my gtx 1070 can run bf5 in 1440p almost maxsettings with 60fps. while i only get like 40fps in 1080p in heavier games like rdr2

[storm osprey]

3060 ti for 1080p 144hz is basically an "ultra settings 1080p" card

[keen shore]

If I can achieve 100+ framerates on single player games I’m fine with it

would you recommend a cpu upgrade or should I stick with what I own?

Ryzen 5 3600

[storm osprey]

which is?

yea looking at 3060 ti benchmarks its not even over 144 fps for most games at max settings

[keen shore]

So the cpu isn’t good enough?

[storm osprey]

sorry i didnt see the reply

3600 is basically perfect

yea you COULD get a 5600x and get decent gains, but imo not worth the money

[keen shore]

Alrighty everything is perfect so far

I think I’ll stick with 3600

I’ll only upgrade the gpu

And probably get a decent ips monitor

TN sucks

[storm osprey]

yea 3600 to 5600x is like 10% difference

[quick locust]

thats a lot of new messages

[latent light]

5600X is 30% faster than a 3600

IPC alone is 20% higher

[storm osprey]

im just going off the math between these 2 numbers

[arctic crag]

High/Ultra Quality

That’s more of a gpu

[storm osprey]

yes... as its stated

gotta keep it consistent somehow

[arctic crag]

10% because the game is on ultra which is gpu bound or whatever

[storm osprey]

its not purely gpu bound, its still 1080p

if you complain about ultra, complain its not 720p resolution

[arctic crag]

Ok still if you want to see a difference you gotta use low settings

[storm osprey]

so yea, complain its not 720p then, because that will show even more of a difference

[arctic crag]

Let’s be honest who uses 720p in 2021

[storm osprey]

lets be honest, using ultra for benchmarking isnt something to complain about

[arctic crag]

Not it is if you are comparing cpus

Can I dm you

I want to send images

[storm osprey]

are you mad its not a full stop cpu benchmark, or that its not hitting a number you thought/want it to?

[arctic crag]

Nah I’m just saying it’s not 10% + I don’t really give a fk

[storm osprey]

whats the alternative to if these games were played using low/med? 5% more of a difference? not really a hard sell

next lets complain that we arent using esport only titles at comp settings at 1080p...

[arctic crag]

Imagine comparing a gpus and turn settings to low

[storm osprey]

it is 10% given all the information shown there

[quick locust]

pretty fast

[storm osprey]

its not like its misleading

[quick locust]

8 core epyc at 4.1 GHz

[storm osprey]

youre complaints arent even aimed at me, but basically every youtuber running benchmarks

even tech jesus (gamersnexus) uses high settings

go to their youtube comments, not me

[arctic crag]

lol I’m not complaining about you

[storm osprey]

youre complaining about numbers i provided like im doing something fishy

the only thing i didnt provide in that screenshot was the test bench

outside of that the numbers and info is there, i just gave a percentage difference

[arctic crag]

Well yeah because that’s incorrect numbers

[storm osprey]

its not...

you want different numbers under a different circumstance, the screenshot shows the circumstance of how those numbers exist...

[arctic crag]

Can you give me the video

[storm osprey]

if i said the difference between 3600 vs 5600x at 4k ultra is only 5% thats not "incorrect numbers"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSxuiWih_Z8&t=55s

what are you suggesting? a blanket statement like "5600x is 15% faster than 3600"?

[arctic crag]

Can I dm you?

[storm osprey]

sure

its not gonna change these facts but im interested to see what "ah ha" moment you got coming

so we got a smaller sample pool, csgo, no mention of settings used, and you want to say this is more accurate?

[arctic crag]

I will check the settings also I will give you the video link

[storm osprey]

so at best you can get rid of 1 of the 3 problems i just brought up

[arctic crag]

Well he used ultra

You have a point

https://youtu.be/rTUqd0SUIgI

[storm osprey]

im already sus of those numbers too, especially for SOTR

[arctic crag]

Hardware unboxed mostly benchmarked game that need more gpu than cpu

I think it’s just the games both used in their benchmarks is what makes the difference

[arctic crag]

Jarrod is legit

[storm osprey]

im looking up other games benchmarks against his games and none of them are getting over 30% increase in performance

(talking about SOTR and death stranding)

[arctic crag]

Yeah it’s more of which games you’re talking about

[storm osprey]

well his 36% increase claims on SOTR and death stranding seem like complete bs from what im doing the math on for other benchmarks

and seems oddly high considering the type of games those are especially in relation to csgo

hell and these benchmarks im cross referencing are commonly using a 3080 vs that dudes 2080ti

[arctic crag]

Jarrod used an rtx 3090

[weak girder]

csgo is cpu dependant

[arctic crag]

And hardware unboxed used rx 6800 I believe?

I’ve looked at Gamer nexus benchmarks and 43% increase in SOTR medium setting

18% in Rdr2 medium/custom setting

[latent light]

5600X is 48% faster than 3600 in CSGO at 1080p low

Even bigger difference in League and dota iirc

If you turn settings down to get max performance as possible for competitive, 5600X is much better option imo

[storm osprey]

Easily, but idk if I would suggest upgrading over a 3600 still

[latent light]

Yeah 3600 is still viable for 144hz

Also 5600X runs cooler despite being an X model, due to how wide Zen3 cores are, it helps with spreading heat out

Zen2 was toasty ngl

3600 is guaranteed to hit 90C under load with stock cooler

[quick locust]

Stock cooler for 3600 is bad

Wraith Stealth

But yeah high density too

[quick locust]

https://wccftech.com/intel-xe-hpg-dg2-gpu-spotted-performance-on-par-with-a-nvidia-gtx-1660-super/

[arctic crag]

That’s amazing but price plays a role here

[latent light]

$399

[arctic crag]

MSRP?

[latent light]

It better be like $200

[arctic crag]

Yeah they also should work on equivalent to GeForce experience

And fix that shit naming

[quick locust]

Geforce experience? Nah that's meh except for shadowplay

[arctic crag]

Instant replay,Ansel

[atomic jackal]

what about 165hz

[latent light]

For a game like Battlefield V, no

I imagine Battlefield players with 165+Hz monitors play at low/medium settings

[atomic jackal]

not me

[wintry prairie]

On a 3080ti I'm getting around 160 fps on a 360hz monitor

¯_(ツ)_/¯

in BFV

low/medium/high settings

[fallen harbor]

sounds like a bottleneck

[wintry prairie]

Could be, I get 200 in BF4

[atomic jackal]

yeah sounds like a bottleneck as i get 130 with my 3060

[wintry prairie]

Wonder what it could be. My CPU is 7900X

MAybe that?

[atomic jackal]

is your panel 1080p

[wintry prairie]

Yes

[atomic jackal]

3080ti is a 4k card so youre losing a bit of performance there

around %25 fps loss

[wintry prairie]

I use a 1440 too for other stuff, but for 1st person shooters, the 1080

What gpu would you reccomend for 360hz on a 1080p?

Because I achieve that in other games

[atomic jackal]

i dont know im not really that knowledgeable about computers yet lol

i dont want to make you buy a gpu that you will regret later

[wintry prairie]

the 3080ti is arguably the best gaming gpu out right now. So if I can't achieve it with this card, it can't be achieved.

[toxic zealot]

in more demanding games your best bet is overclocked cpu with highest single core speeds possible

and 3080ti

even ram speeds will matter

[lean cipher]

what does dx12 do

i turned it on in bf5 and for the first few minutes using it everything stuttered but after that it was good but i dont see any performance increase

[toxic zealot]

yh

Dx12 is needed for raytracing

Other that that from my experience

It can provide more stable fps across the board

from what i remember

Game uses dx11 by default prob

[lean cipher]

i see but is there any other reason to have it on other than turning on rtx?

i dont want to use rtx

so should i use it anyway or take it off

[wintry prairie]

No need if you don't want

[latent light]

Need a better CPU, like i5-11600K or Ryzen 5600X

7900X is holding back the 3080Ti at 1080p

[wintry prairie]

OK, ty!

[latent light]

Gonna need new motherboard for new CPU

Also how good is your ram?@wintry prairie

[wintry prairie]

caca

4333

[marsh gull]

yeah get at least 3200mhz-3600mhz

[marsh gull]

oh ok

[wintry prairie]

horrible timings though 😩

[marsh gull]

lmao yes

[keen shore]

Does 1080p look bad on a 1440p monitor?

[fallen harbor]

1080 is usually bad for monitors bigger than 24' id say

[marsh gull]

it depends on how far you are from the monitor

[marsh gull]

if you are not natively running 1080p on a 1440p monitor it will be less sharp than 1080p on a 1080p monitor

[marsh gull]

caca to you too

[keen shore]

Usually im too close to the monitor

Just in case if I want some extra frames I’ll change resolution to 1080

if I can’t reach my monitor’s refresh rate

[marsh gull]

yeah i see

if you are running 1080p stay at least 50cm away from your monitor

[keen shore]

Is 1440 worth the money ?

I haven’t seen one with my own eyes so I can’t tell the difference between 1080 and 1440

[marsh gull]

1440p is a bit sharper/noticeable but if you really care about fps or have a graphics card lower than a 1660super/1660/1070 i would recommend going down to 1080 144hz

1080p is not that bad

[wintry prairie]

1080p at high Hz is great

[marsh gull]

yeah

i only use 1080p and it is sharp enouph for all games

[opal cliff]

I agree 1080p is still great

[fallen harbor]

bruh i went back to bf1 and i get frame drops below 60 on all graphic settings in some clusterfucky moments and this never happened to me on bfv

is bf1 optimized worse?

[toxic zealot]

Slow

4000+

[marsh gull]

do you use windows 11?

[marsh gull]

it's sharp enouph and gives you lots of fps

(and is cheaper than other options)

[fallen harbor]

no, w10

[silent oasis]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for the full release of Battlefield 2042.

[arctic crag]

Can you find one with latency lower than 19?

I would rather have a 3200 cl14 than 4000+ cl19

Especially for gaming

[toxic zealot]

@arctic crag tune it down yourself

[midnight crypt]

tuning ram is a pain in the ass

[toxic wigeon]

What's your guys's opinion on the Ryzen 7 3800x?

[dry pike]

I would rather have that than a 3700x but I would rather have a 3900x over that.

But great CPU. I would imagine it is still great value for money.

[toxic wigeon]

Ye i'm looking at it, How tanky it is looks good

[supple bane]

i dont know how prices are like there but the 5600x is faster and the same price

[arctic crag]

Is Reddit down?

[chrome skiff]

You can also get a 10700k in the same price range and get the cores ipc and the price all in one

[supple bane]

this is true

[frank oxide]

does somebody know a good wireless headset under 100 euros?

[supple bane]

but it will need a more expensive motherboard.

[chrome skiff]

what are we talking? It will work fine in a b board if you're not over clocking and b boards are under 100 bucks.

If they went intel they could make it work but 289 for a 3700x or 5600x its all close enough that intel offers the cores and ipc in the price range even if the mobos are little more expensive for the z series

[chrome skiff]

Corsair hs70s go for 99 bucks sometimes and they have been very reliable and sound great. Also the hyper x flights are good and have insane battery life like 30+ hours iirc

i didnt read euros im sorry but they are still good suggestions

[frank oxide]

they are under 100 euros

thank you

and what are good wired gaming headsets?

[supple bane]

unless you specifically need a headset. get a usb mic and a decent pair of headphones

[chrome skiff]

^

[frank oxide]

a headset would be better for my setup

[supple bane]

m40x's and a fifine k669b will give better mic and audio quality for the same money

maybe a bit more

[chrome skiff]

if you want a wired headset corsair makes the hs60 which is just wired hs70's if iirc

then hyper x also makes great wired headsets like the cloud x alpha

[supple bane]

the day i stop shilling the k669b will be the day i die

in terms of clarity its on par with a yeti imo, but its a bit tinny, yeti has a warmer more pleasing sound to it.

still such a good mic for 40 bucks

[chrome skiff]

I never got a usb mic i do music and voices overs so ive had xlr for a long time but its not 40 dollar mic either

Shure has the sm58 and its xlr but no phantom power and its been on sale for 50 bucks time to time, best non powered mic ive heard in a long time

[supple bane]

i wont ever go back to a headset, but i also wont go to XLR probably

its just too much hassle to me, i dont do anything that requires an excellent mic, so just being able to plug it in and forget about it is great

[chrome skiff]

its your preference like i said i needed a mic that i could play guitar and violin into and make sure it didnt act up

[toxic wigeon]

Got a snowball mic and it's actually pretty decent

Bit awkward but it really does do the job

[supple bane]

i think the k669b sounds better

[chrome skiff]

yeah and the mic you have is perfect for that, i have a deeper boomy voice and when i used my usb mics it sounded so unnatural and flat i had to get depth back into it

[toxic wigeon]

I'll look at that Granty

[supple bane]

the snowball has better noise cancellation

[toxic wigeon]

It's so weird

[frank oxide]

whats the difference between the HS50 and the HS60?

[chrome skiff]

lemme see

[supple bane]

timestamped

https://youtu.be/A5_qOmJNTpQ?t=164

[chrome skiff]

the same from what im reading, the hs50 from reading reviews seems to be heavier and tighter clamping force and not as premium feeling. But everything audio wise looks to be the same.

oh and the 60's go louder

[frank oxide]

kk

[supple bane]

so yeah, the k669b is better than the snowball by far

[chrome skiff]

what bit does windows let you run the k669b in?

[supple bane]

one moment

[chrome skiff]

my way to expensive mic is 32 bit 192khz

my ember is 24 bit 48k

[supple bane]

much lower than those

[chrome skiff]

thats great for a usb mic though \

is it metal? is it a sturdy mic?

[supple bane]

oh yeah

entire thing is metal

[chrome skiff]

Im gonna grab one and see if its something the young ones can use and not destroy

[supple bane]

my only complaint about it is that in my experience its sensitive to distance

if you calibrate your levels at a certain distance from your mouth, then put it away, the next day when you move it back to use it may be just a few inches closer or further than it was yesterday

and that will result in you being either silent or deafening

[chrome skiff]

Oh i have that issue with windows in general i dont think thats your mic i have a mic 50x the price and it still does that on my pc

[prime jasper]

can someone help me my vsync isnt working fine, my monitor has 75hz and when i turn on vsync in battlefield its locked to 60fps

[chrome skiff]

is the resolution in battlefield set to say 1920x1080p 75hz it should say 75hz

[prime jasper]

there isnt any just 50 and 60

[chrome skiff]

does windows show its 75hz?

[prime jasper]

how do you mean

[chrome skiff]

what gpu

[prime jasper]

1060 6gb

[chrome skiff]

go to control panel for nvidia

on the left look for change resolution

select native resolution and then refresh rate make sure it says 75

[prime jasper]

its 1080p with 75

[chrome skiff]

Im not quite sure then alpha, you dont have you engine fps set to 60 do you?

[prime jasper]

i overclocked my monitor on 75hz from 60 in other games its working fine

[chrome skiff]

I understand but battlefield has an engine limiter and a resolution limiter, im just asking if they are both set to or above 75

[prime jasper]

how do you mean with engine

[chrome skiff]

what battlefield?

[prime jasper]

5

[chrome skiff]

so bfv has a resolution option where you have to choose 1920x1080 75hz , then in advanced there is an option near the top about the max fps or engine limiter idk what its call off hand

framerate limiter

[prime jasper]

i really dont have the 75hz one

and when i turn off vsync its lagging and i dont know why

its not smooth anymore

[chrome skiff]

Im sorry im not quite sure then how to offer more help

[prime jasper]

okay thx anyway

[faint umbra]

Why would you want vsync on...

use freesync or gysnc

[prime jasper]

i dont have a gsync monitor and what is freesync

i fixed it

i just went on fullscreen windowed

[plain stag]

Freesync is AMDs alternative to gsync

[latent light]

Not really AMD's since its open source

[alpine anvil]

It's made by AMD

Isn't it?

[fallen harbor]

dual

[warm oasis]

Do you think an i5 9400f and gtx1660 super can run the new bf game?

[short pier]

Probably

[near rune]

just wait until they release the specs

[short pier]

Do you guys think the spec requirements for the full game will increase from the technical playtest?

[supple bane]

Id guess decrease if anything

As they will be spending this time optimising the game

[short pier]

Maybe but the playtest is greybox, so wouldn't it be less demanding than the full release? Despite future optimization?

[plain stag]

The playtest build will most likely be an older build

Without all performance fixes and optimizations

Last couple of weeks should be for optimizing and fixing bugs

So they got plenty of time

[dry pike]

It could be more demanding on some of the hardware while less demanding on other types of hardware, compared to the full release. We simply don't know.

[latent light]

It should be ok for 1080p

60 fps

[slate rivet]

i5... oof

[opal cliff]

How does the gtx 1070 compare to the 1660?

[supple bane]

they are about the same i believe

[near rune]

about same performance

[opal cliff]

Oh okay

[near rune]

there are websites

to compare gpus

[supple bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN3MUYniOmg

1070 is a bit faster

[opal cliff]

Oh what’s the website?

[near rune]

theres many

googling helps

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/

[frank oxide]

deos bfv run good with an i5 10400f and a gtx 1660 super?

[near rune]

yes

[frank oxide]

thats what i have and when i go over 60 fps my gpu goes nuts

and idk why

[near rune]

because its a gpu heavy game

[supple bane]

by goes nuts i assume you mean the fans spin?

yes that should happen in every game

[near rune]

thats normal

[fallen harbor]

trolling?

[frank oxide]

when is teh gpu too hot?

[supple bane]

it will never get too hot

the pc will turn off before then

but if you are reaching 90c you should look into it

[frank oxide]

when i run bfv it gets around 65°C to 70 is it bad when i play with that for a couple hours?

[supple bane]

no thats very good

[near rune]

no thats really good

lol

[frank oxide]

wtf

[near rune]

my gpu goes upto 86c when playing demanding games

[supple bane]

people really dont have faith in hardware's ability to do the right thing

[fallen harbor]

80 is high, 90 is worrying. 70 is expected during games

[frank oxide]

i always thought my pc is going up in flames soon

[warm oasis]

no...

[near rune]

you got nothing to worry about

[supple bane]

just remember, the computer knows more about its self and what is right and wrong than you do

way more

[frank oxide]

but i guess im so worried because my fans get so loud

[supple bane]

if something is wrong, it will protect its self

the user doesnt need to worry, unless they want to

[fallen harbor]

why did you get a pc that you have no idea whats capable of then? in short, yes, ofc it will run the new bf game

[near rune]

if it gets too hot its going to shut it self off

[warm oasis]

the new bfv game has high demaniung specs

[supple bane]

the offical specs haven't been released yet so how would you know?

[next beacon]

Those are usually for high graphical settings

[warm oasis]

i checked the ea website lol

[fallen harbor]

ok whatever yes go get a 5800x and a 3090, the only way to play games

[supple bane]

that is for the play test

there is a good chance it will change

[warm oasis]

oh

i see

thanks

[supple bane]

as the game becomes optimised

[fallen harbor]

because its obvious?

any game will run

unless they use linux or whatever

they never asked if itll run 4k on steady fps or 120 or 144fps or anything

[supple bane]

that wasnt aimed at you :P

i know his specs will run the game

[fallen harbor]

ah uh

puts gun back

it unnerves me a little how so many people get hardware without researching any benchmark first

[warm oasis]

i was just wondering if my pc could run it...

[fallen harbor]

define run

[warm oasis]

could handle it

lol

[fallen harbor]

im not being sarcastic, its a serious question

[warm oasis]

if my pc could handle bf 2042

[fallen harbor]

handle... as in what

able to run it to a playable degree for people with the lowest standards?

it can be interpreted widely

[warm oasis]

bruh

[fallen harbor]

yes the game will launch when you click play

[warm oasis]

i was just wondering if my pc could run the game

lol

how is that so hard to understand

[fallen harbor]

exactly

why wouldnt it run it

[warm oasis]

because my spces could not be up to par?

i thought the specs in the ea website were the req ones

but they arent

my bad

just chill lol

[fallen harbor]

its gonna be like, at least 10 years before your pc cant launch a game because of outdated specs

[dry pike]

!!specs

[silent oasis]

Currently there are no official PC specifications released by DICE for the full release of Battlefield 2042.

[supple bane]

what ando is saying is that you have a good pc that can run anything. you shouldnt need to ask if it can run anything

because it can run anything

[warm oasis]

ok

thanks

that was my only question

[proud trellis]

i remember when i used to ask if my pc could run anything

[fallen harbor]

in your defense

your pc was cursed

it ran bfv like a slideshow for some reason

how did that go

did you fix that in the end

[proud trellis]

its fine now

i just launched it one day and i could run it fine again idk how

the curse must of been removed ig

[fallen harbor]

i see

[plain stag]

That site is unreliable at best

[near rune]

how am i supposed to know

[fallen harbor]

there are many articles showing some sort of evidence (dont ask me about it, im just quoting what i see) about the site being biased towards intel

[plain stag]

Well now you do :P

Yes, people found out that they are heavily biased towards intel

[plain stag]

1660S is pretty much on par with 1070 in terms of performance, while a 1660 is slightly slower, in older titles the fps difference is like 1-3 fps in favor of 1660S, in more newer titles 1660S is a little bit more faster than that, but that's due to architectural improvements

[weak girder]

usually the gtx 1070 is a bit faster, but the gtx 1660 with gddr6 can be faster in some newer titles

[opal cliff]

Oh okay thanks

[runic saffron]

Rx 5600xt vs an rtx 2060

[latent light]

Similar

[jolly dirge]

performance on par but 2060 with dlss would win if supported

[runic saffron]

Ok cool

Can run bf2042

[plain stag]

Dlss will be supported with 2042

And a high chance that fsr will be as well

[eager whale]

Well DICE, EA and the Frostbite engine are official partners to implement FSR so I'd be surprised if it isn't

[toxic zealot]

fsr can be implemented easily

no reason to not do it

someone added fsr as a mod to gta 5

not much long after they released fsr source code

[eager whale]

It took some devs 2 hours to implement it

[rough stump]

Why am I only getting 60 frames

With a rtx 3070 lol

Laptop btw

[proud trellis]

i capped my FPS and my usage lowered by like 20%

[weary cypress]

bfv is poorly optimised

[rough stump]

Nvm I’m getting 110

At ultra now lol

[weary cypress]

damn

i get 60 with a 3060 XD

what you do

[midnight crypt]

did you cap your frames?

[weary cypress]

tried that as well

performance hardly changed

I get a 3060 isn't as powerful

but it still isn't right

[fallen harbor]

60fps in what

bfv?

you either have vsync on

or 60hz cap

or rivatunner or some other third party software capping it

bfv isn't poorly optimized

@weary cypress

[marsh gull]

guys is an i5 11400f a good cpu to pair with a 3060ti?

[brisk flame]

intel just why?

[marsh gull]

i went from amd to intel because the 10400f and 11400f are some of the best values out there

[brisk flame]

wait you went form amd to intel why?which amd cpu u had ?

[marsh gull]

no like in my pcpartpicker list

i went from 55600

its 200usd

[brisk flame]

the thing is that u intel cpu dont age well enough compared to any of the ryzen counterparts and u dont always have to go for the highest option youve got until u r using it for way way more than gaming mostly rendering

[marsh gull]

i know but ive done my research and these two intel cpus seem to be of excellent value

[brisk flame]

as far as intel goes ive got no more knowledge for them but if you think it is good for you well then its good for you

[marsh gull]

thx man just wanted to know if i should take an i7 instead or a 5600/5600x

[brisk flame]

ryzen 5600 no idea about the price right now but if you can get it youve just got a banger of a deal

[prime jasper]

Ryzen 5600X will be a much better option for CPU right now, even the Ryzen 5 3600X is great for budget mid tier gaming and other work. AMD at the moment have been dominating the market with CPU. Though you will never go wrong with Intel either. The equivalent would be Intel 10700k. If you want it mostly for gaming I'd go for the Ryzen otherwise if you need more workload I'd get Intel. Either way both are good options for Mid tier.

[marsh gull]

thanks i think im gonna take the intel i5 11400f

but the 5600 looks interesting

[prime jasper]

No worries mate! Its a good CPU, and you'll get decent FPS in most games. Can't go wrong with it.

very nice

steamdeck > bf2042

[supple bane]

bfv has better optimisation than bf1 did

[prime jasper]

yeah but it also looks worse

and has less objects in general

most of the maps in V are just fields

[marsh gull]

yeah man thx

[quick locust]

Nokia has headphones? Huh

E1200

[atomic jackal]

can you guys recommend me a chair

under 200€

[quick locust]

Used office chairs in your area

Usually decent

[compact pewter]

plastic chair because it flexible not only that but you also can stack it

[marsh gull]

the amazon basics office chair

cheap in price, comfortable and feels premium

can't recommend it enouph

[atomic jackal]

idk amazon doesn't have a lot of things for here

DDR5 will create more heat than DDR4 despite having lower power draw

"DDR5 could conceivably run much hotter than DDR4. They've moved voltage regulation off the motherboard itself, and now it's on the chip. So you actually could be pumping a lot more heat into DDR5 modules."

Active DIMM cooling will make a comeback lol

[supple bane]

i dont mind that as long as it looks good

[arctic crag]

I wonder why 3600mhz isn’t stable in b450 unlike b550

Even tho in mobo website it’s rated to support up to 4400mhz

[dry pike]

Everything is producing more heat these days. Every generation is faster, but also produce more heat. High end computers are at the point you can't have them in a small room without heating up the entire room so it is uncomfortable.

[quick locust]

Yeah

SSDs also

Which is why m.2 is getting replaced as a form factor

To E.1 S and L

[dry pike]

for servers at least, dunno about consumer machines

[quick locust]

Yeah I know

Will be later i guess

They can't really continue as is on high end, already putting ridiculous heatsink on them

[prime jasper]

I wonder how my very old, GPU GTX 780 would last with the new game 😂 How long till it burns? (Lowkey wanna test it HAH)

(And no, I do not use this GPU, its stored away, I got a new one)

[quick locust]

Shouldn't burn at all

Software doesn't kill it

[prime jasper]

It will overheat though

[supple bane]

why would it?

[quick locust]

No it will just follow what the vbios allow

As well as hardware

[prime jasper]

So you are saying, that it could run the game?

[quick locust]

Probably

Not well but probably

[prime jasper]

Interesting

I mean its not even that long ago tbh...

2013..

[quick locust]

Yeah

Same as ps4 and xbox one

[prime jasper]

oh that is right, sheesh

PS4 did come out around 2013 / 2014

[quick locust]

Yeah

[prime jasper]

Time flies damn.

[quick locust]

Indeed

I still remember considering buying a ps4 at launch

Since I bought my ps3 at launch

[molten bramble]

Sooo... apparently the latest Nvidia drivers can cause the system to not post correctly... y'all be careful out there.

[supple bane]

Guess ill skip these then

[weak girder]

not post correctly?

[toxic wigeon]

Not post correctly?

[latent light]

Post means you boot into OS basically

[toxic wigeon]

Oh

[weak girder]

oh

[dry pike]

Have not heard of anything like that from the 471.41 WHQL drivers

[weak girder]

Ill skip those drivers then

[latent light]

I haven't still found any info about this

https://www.tomshardware.com/amp/news/corsair-says-ddr5-modules-to-run-hotter-than-ddr4

[sacred dove]

can't find any posts like this on nvidia sub or disc or amd sub or disc or wccftech or videocardz

[quick locust]

POST is not done by the OS, rather it's test by the components themselves in firmware

OS is not loaded at that point yet

activationui.exe application error

any idea how to fix that for bf1 ? ^

[molten coral]

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-1/PC-BF1-will-not-launch-Solved-using-regedit/td-p/6230008 @fast veldt

[fast veldt]

Can't find the activation folder under Image file execution options what should i do

[supple bane]

i believe it stands for pre operating system test. so that is somewhat obvious

ok googling that tells me that is not true

its power on self test

not sure where i got that from then

[opal cliff]

I know this isn’t really technology related but recently for some reason when I go to the sever browser in bf1 to look for games in just conquest I only see east cost severs now and like zero west coast severs. Before I saw a good mix of both. Just curious if anyone knows how to fix this?

Sorry one last thing. If you could run bf5 good for the most part will you most likely be able to run 2042 some what well

[fallen harbor]

depends on how you define "good for the most part" and "somewhat well"

also remember we don't know how demanding or well or badly optimized the game will be

but if you run bfv at like 80fps on high graphic settings, I wouldn't worry
