I think any i5 from seventh gen onwards or literally any ryzen cpu paired with something like rx580 or gtx1650super or higher will be enough to reach 60fps at 1080p

I ask this because I know many people that run games at 20fps and think it's pea...
ignorance is bliss
if I had 20 fps on a game when I was 7 years old, I wouldnt give a fuck
it would still be peak performance to me
supple bane
some of soviet wombles old videos from like 7-10 years ago when he was playing day-z and such, i could feel him losing frames even through a phone
like well below 30 fps
but he didnt give a fuck, still built a massive channel from that
fallen harbor
last year a friend of mine asked me for advice when he was picking parts for his pc and he ignored my suggestions because he thought it was too pricey so he got a gt1030 instead and says it's a godlike machine
¯_(ツ)_/¯
supple bane
you should show him how your 590 performs in comparison and see if he still thinks its a god like machine :P
and then explain to him a real god like machine would probably get 4x even that
fallen harbor
he cant tell the difference in frame rates
just like most normies
so idk if i can blame him
weak girder
last year a friend of mine asked me for advice when he was picking parts for his...
saying a gt 1030 is godlike is like saying mcdonalds is peak gourmet food
weak girder
just like most normies
yeah idk why the less you know the lesd you feel
supple bane
if he is enjoying his rig. let him be happy i guess.
weak girder
I can feel the difference between 60 and 55 really easily
some of my friends just dont give a shit
supple bane
i generally will look up at my fps counter if i drop below 60
fallen harbor
yeah idk why the less you know the lesd you feel
i'd say it's more related to experience rather than knowledge. I explained this to him but if he rarely plays videogames at all he wont pay attention to this and wont be able to tell the difference. The ability to tell different frame rates apart is trained, it varies from person to person
supple bane
anything above 60 i can play with
really fast paced shooters i struggle with anything below 80.
weak girder
anything above 60 i can play with
in multiplayer games I cant stand anything below 70 tbh
or shooters
supple bane
but msfs2020 ill happily play that game with 20 fps
because everything on the screen moves so slowly
it looks just like a screenshot most of the time
weak girder
In rdr2 45-60 fps is perfectly fine to me
fallen harbor
i was playing bf1 yesterday and it was around 120fps so I limited it to 60 because i got a 60hz monitor anyways but when I did, it had some little drops like to 58 and it was so annoying i had to put it back to 120
but try telling this to any normal person
they will think youre paranoid
supple bane
you should get a 144hz monitor
fallen harbor
nah my pc isnt strong enough to reach 144 in most games
supple bane
a rx 590 will be bottlenecked by a 1080p60 monitor
weak girder
sometimes Im genuinely worried when some of my friends play on my pc even tho theres nothing to worry about
chrome skiff
you can do gametime.maxvariablefps to 62 and it helps a lot of the kids for the same reason
it will limit you to 62 fps or 65 what ever number you put in
fallen harbor
also i want to stay in ignorance because I always hear you dont want to go back to 60hz after trying 144hz or 120hz, and if I want to remain in such big frame rate, I must update my pc soon and hardware is ridiculously overpriced here so the last thing I want to feel is like I'm lacking hardware power
weak girder
I hqve a 1650 super but I hardly play any games these days but I got 70-80 fps on high in bf5 and it was fine to me
fallen harbor
you can do gametime.maxvariablefps to 62 and it helps a lot of the kids for the ...
hmm true ture
opal cliff
I guess well for me would be around 50-60fps and i do have a i5 7500
weak girder
well is 60+ fps to me in fps games
chrome skiff
you can also put it in as a launch command so it does it automatically everytime you start the game
fallen harbor
I guess well for me would be around 50-60fps and i do have a i5 7500
and what gpu do you have?
fallen harbor
you can also put it in as a launch command so it does it automatically everytime...
oh thats neat ty
opal cliff
and what gpu do you have?
Gtx 1070 8vram
fallen harbor
yeah thats enough
opal cliff
Oh cool
supple bane
eeerm, im not sure about that actually
fallen harbor
remember, we dont know how the game will run
but i'd bet it'd run the game to a playable degree
supple bane
im not sure it will get 60 fps with that cpu.
a 4 core 4 thread cpu would struggle to reach 60 fps in bfv i believe, so in 2042 id say you have no chance
fallen harbor
lets see
supple bane
at least my old 7400 was pinned at 100% usage and was getting 40 fps
fallen harbor
supple bane
on 1080p low
chrome skiff
you can clear up a lot of cpu usage turning down post processing to medium or low. The custom is the way to go.
custom settings*
fallen harbor
lets see another video
supple bane
for example when he is outside D, i bet money if he was to go into D there they would drop to 30-40 fps
chrome skiff
and even with that he is still hitting 100% cpu usage
fallen harbor
i was gonna say it's on ultra settings but i think thats more gpu intensive than cpu
this aslso doesnt look like a super populated server
but it rarely goes below 60, if ever
fallen harbor
i really dont think his pc will run bf2042 at 30fps
i dont know if it will reach a steady 60
but he said he'd be ok with 40 or 50
and i think thats a possibility
supple bane
we will have to wait and see
my guess is that the cpu load is going to be huge in this game, bfv will be nothing in comparison
opal cliff
I’ll honestly even take 30 just to play until I can eventually upgrade
fallen harbor
I wouldn't worry that much
this is only a gut feeling but I really think your pc will run the game at like from 45 to 65fps
speaking of which
I really should've gotten the 3600 instead of the 8400
i was an idiot back then
didnt know much about ryzen
opal cliff
this is only a gut feeling but I really think your pc will run the game at like ...
Hella hope your right about that lol
supple bane
we have all made mistakes like that.
fallen harbor
if there's anything I'd upgrade first it'd be the cpu. Your gpu still holds up for 60fps in general id say
supple bane
hell. i originally started with a pretty bad prebuilt. and like a year later my ram died, so me still not knowing much about computers..
i saw that it had 2133mhz ram,
and i thought that meant it HAD to be that speed, the price between the speeds was basically the same. so i could have gotten 3200mhz ram for the same price.
but no, i brought 2133.
fallen harbor
yikes
supple bane
and then, not too long ago, it died again, i got an RMA from amazon and they offered me either a refund or a replacement
at this point in time i knew a lot more about computers and understood what the speeds and stuff meant
and i could have asked for a refund and spent that money on higher speed stuff for the same price again...
free upgrade right!?
but no! i chose the replacement option, it wasnt until like a few weeks later i realised what i had done.
and im still stuck with 2133mhz ram to this day!
fallen harbor
oof
supple bane
fallen harbor
what cpu you got?
supple bane
2600
fallen harbor
nice
another mistake i did was getting the rx590 instead of the 1660 or 1660 super. The later were more expensive but the 590 consumes a lot more
I couldve gotten a 1660super and a 500w psu instead of a 600w one
and the price would have been similar
and idk I just trust nvidia more when it comes to gpus. I had many problems with amd vcards before
one died, then the other came faulty
supple bane
now that you say that.
i got a slower gpu for more money also
i got a 2070 instead of 5700xt

then go for 1440p
i personally prefer frame rate
keen shore
I’ve never seen any resolution higher than 1080 with my own eyes
I do prefer framerate too
fallen harbor
i personally dont care about resolutions higher than 1080p when it comes to regular desktop pc gaming
i will only seek 1440 or 4k if it's a tv

i always asked what a mechanical kb feels like and everyone always says "bro you will understand when you put your hands on one"
i tried one last week
it felt just like a regular kb
it also sucks that most mechanic kb lack numpad and some even lack all the f keys
supple bane
probably just tried a crappy kb
molten coral

supple bane
the worst keyboard feel is membranes that type to mimic the feel of mechanical, followed by super mushy membranes, followed by decent office membranes or laptop keyboard, followed by mechanical
i have tried plenty of GaMiNg membrane keyboards that try to mimic the feel of mechanical switches, and they dont feel nearly as nice as a generic microsoft office keyboard
fallen harbor
i wanted to get a mechanical kb but they are super expensive
my current kb has half of its keys buried down, feels like a digital kb at this point, it responds by just the touch
but since mechanical are so expensive i just ordered one that is supposedly a decent membrane type
it was 1500 pesos versus 13000 pesos
no way tbh ngl imho js
molten coral
Yeah, I do understand it in your situation with everything highly overpriced
fallen harbor
dont ask me how much that is in usd cause idek at this point
probably 9usd versus 72usd
molten coral
google says 15 vs 133
fallen harbor
ah yes i included our taxes
but i guess i shouldnt in this case
like, we get taxed when buying usd
so its more like 1usd = 180 pesos for us
molten coral
ah gotcha
fallen harbor
but for the outside or for comparison sake its more like 1usd = 100 i think?
not sure

just checked
molten bramble

I think for normal typing in an office they're fine. Certainly not for competive gaming although something like a sim (e.g. Cities: Skylines, The Sims 4, Flight Simulator, etc.) it makes sense.
supple bane
i dont see the advantage of an expensive keyboard for gaming tbh
as an expensive keyboard user i mean.
ive got mine for the typing experience, not the gaming aspect
molten bramble
The Logitech Pro X with Romer Tactile switches I have is actually a solid upgrade for me in terms of FPS' over a membrane low-profile from HP I use for typing.
It was money well spent IMO.

I was the one that suggested that we changed the specs command. As the specs for the small technical test were out the notion that all specs out there were rumors would be wrong. We however still don't know what system requirements for the open beta or the full release will be. The changed wording is just to reflect that fact.

im getting an rtx 3060 ti along with it

Stick with evga, just get a better rating
Youre fine with 600w, altho i would go for 650 or 700w, if you plan on upgrading your gpu in the near future
If not, then 600w is perfectly fine
But get at least a gold rating
They shouldnt be too much expensive
Evga, corsair, seasonic
All good brands
You wont go wrong with either of them
Corsair is pretty much seasonic, I'm pretty sure seasonic is still an OEM brand for corsair psus
dry pike
https://www.velocitymicro.com/images/upload/80plusratings.jpg
Higher ratings like gold, platinium, titanium = more efficient PSU, to gain more efficiency you pretty much have to use better components, better components usually means more stable power = components lasting longer, overclocks and general operation have a higher chance of being stable

fallen harbor

fallen harbor
speaking of coolers, I ended up buying a se903 for my sister's i7 3770 which was reaching 88c in cpu demanding games. Now the temp in the same games dont go above 56c. What was weird is that the thing didn't fit in perfectly in the motherboard. If I were to put it as intended, I would have broken a transistor, so I had to put the dissipator horizontally, with the fan aiming below instead of on a side. It still is a massive improvement though. I thought it would warm up the gpu but it doesnt, or maybe it does but only by 1c if even
atomic jackal
yes i do

Located in the valley. Meaning there is no sea or land breezes. The new house in the hill side suburbs makes it a few degrees cooler tho.

plain stag
Do it through DDU
DDU completely removes all files for drivers
There could be some files left in the registry
That windows uninstaller doesn't delete
keen shore
Should I completely format the pc?
arctic crag
If you don’t know ddu is display driver unistaller we use it to completely remove gpu driver files in case of something wrong
plain stag
Ddu is great cuz it deletes every file regarding to drivers
keen shore
Yeah I know but I always uninstall my drivers using windows
plain stag
From registries and residual files
arctic crag
Yeah I know but I always uninstall my drivers using windows
That doesn’t remove everything
keen shore
anyways the pc is at the maintenance office
arctic crag
Also don’t download the same driver version you’re using rn
arctic crag
What version are you using?
arctic crag
Other than bf1 and bfv is everything alright?
arctic crag
I’m not really an expert but maybe it’s the monitor itself?

Yep

meh, the iGPU on that 7100 isn't half bad

yes you can
if you have an screwdriver
little oasis
just look for your model, to find any restrictions in terms of RAM
storm osprey
i doubt it will run even singleplayer at 720p 30fps low settings
little oasis
nah, it'll run BF4 with no issue
like, I've played it on older iGPUs
you'd play it at 1366x768, at around 30fps
IF
prime jasper
people said bad company was better than bf4, but bad company looks kinda weird from gameplay
little oasis
you get more ram
little oasis
not surprising, you can do so on older iGPUs
with that being said, I isnsist on you buying both RAM and an SSD
does your PC has a CD writer?
prime jasper
nope
little oasis
which model is it
prime jasper
from what i know it dosent. maybe it does im just blind
let me check the model
@arctic crag I have the latest geforce game ready driver
prime jasper
yes
arctic crag
DDU
prime jasper
so im just gonna install an old one?

im THAT guy that will just reformat/clean install everything
No
He is a dude I found on #other-games

the model is X541UVK
I just repaired and updated battlefront 2
i'll try that first before going back to old driver

No
youre talking ddu, and im talking about clean install everything. idk whats no about that
arctic crag
i'll try that first before going back to old driver
Good luck mate

you can replace it for a caddy bay
and install an SSD on the actual HDD spot

A fresh install of windows is last to thing to recommend
storm osprey
its really not that bad
arctic crag
Also a fresh install of windows won’t fix everything
little oasis
all in all, that'll cost you around $200
little oasis
Also a fresh install of windows won’t fix everything
it'll fix this issue, as he basically gets a new registry
storm osprey
nopes, but it is the "do all" troubleshoot
prime jasper
So right now should i get bad company 2 or bf4
little oasis
right now, both will run awfully
arctic crag
This dude for example he has the latest driver installed and we know how Nvidia fuck drivers up sometimes so installing a new windows wouldn’t really help
little oasis
and the issue is neither the processor, nor the iGPU
it's the RAM
4GB shouldn't be an option for laptops, since at least 6 years ago
8GB is the new minimum IMO

This dude for example he has the latest driver installed and we know how Nvidia ...
right, but like i said i dont mess with ddu, i just do clean installs
little oasis
DDU isn't risky
little oasis
ngl but I hate your pfp
storm osprey
first time ive heard that
arctic crag
right, but like i said i dont mess with ddu, i just do clean installs
Maybe the problem is just simple I personally use a new windows as the last solution
storm osprey
its not that drastic
arctic crag
You have the balls for installing a new windows
storm osprey
you have to spend what? an hour getting things back to normal outside of redownloading your games
little oasis
also back in the early W8-8.1 days, you could end up losing your license
storm osprey
well now thats account bound
little oasis
at least W10 made that change

Is geforce 920mx good for battlefield once i upgrade my ram?
molten bramble
so anyway the mod never provided any evidence
First off, I don’t have to provide you evidence of anything. Secondly, never saw your original demand, but I’d not normally have provided a response if I had to something dripping with attitude like that. Thirdly, this was in reference to a personal experience with that latest driver set which for three (3) days didn’t allow a proper post of the OS until it could be rolled back using a bit of trickery.

On bf4 you can get a stuttery 720p medium settings
Also dont upgrade your ram, you are just wasting money

Looks like there will be a different glasses type for steam deck
Regular one and anti glare one
And this is just from Linus early version
storm osprey
anti glare only on most expensive model
storm osprey
considering what the neogeo or whatever the other handheld could do
storm osprey
(iirc roughly half of what the steam deck does)
molten coral
I pre-ordered the 256GB version
storm osprey
you would
molten coral
not sure if i'm gonna get it though
storm osprey
why is that?
molten coral
I pre-ordered because it gives me some time to think about it
Like if I want it at the end of the year I can still have it in Q1
Probably if I would pre-order it now I would be getting it way later in Q2 or Q3

i only got a 70ti cuz it was cheaper than 70, i guess my region is importing more 70ti's than regular 70s
and 80 was too much expensive compared to a 70ti
and now im properly ready for 2042
wintry prairie
finally got a 3070ti
Congrats!
plain stag
yeah
wintry prairie
Which one did you get?
plain stag
altho the gpu is dumping a lot of heat XDDD
palit 3070ti
basically i got a 360 rad on top, and its pulling all that hot air from the gpu
and its hitting the bottom of my desk, and heating my legs xDD
wintry prairie
Yeah, I have 2 x 360 rads
plain stag
i definitely need to play around with the fans
its an AIO for the cpu
but yeah
my legs are toasty while playing bf5 xD
wintry prairie
😄
plain stag
i also need to replace my front 3 fans
they came with the case, and they are ehh
also they start to whine when at like 70% speed
wintry prairie
Ugh! I like quiet fans, even at highish rpm
plain stag
the one that i got for the exhaust is great
super quiet, and at double the rpm
than those front fans
wintry prairie
Do you plan on putting a waterblock on the 3070ti?
wintry prairie
Gotcha 😉
plain stag
i also need to get a new monitor as well
wintry prairie
I hear you, I just upgraded my monitor after many years
plain stag
nice
hm
might not be the greatest idea overclocking my gpu
i dont want even more heat now
xDDD
wintry prairie
You "could" , but I'd rather not.
wintry prairie
Nice! I'm usually around 170fps in BFV, but I think my cpu is the bottleneck
plain stag
i didnt look at average without ray tracing
but i'd assume it would be something along those lines
i oc'd memory to 2000mhz effective
ill see how much i can push the core
wintry prairie
I'm hoping to hit 300fps in BF2042, but we'll see. I may need to upgrade my cpu.
plain stag
but yea, i dont think ill be running any oc when its already so hot where i live xD
i got really bamboozled when i felt all that heat on my legs xD
wintry prairie
I live in a hot place, but I crank the AC
plain stag
yeah, i need to put ac in my room as well
Lets see if i can have a stable 21gbps memory and over 2000mhz on the core
wintry prairie
It's been close to 100F/38C here lately, but typically 74F/23C inside
plain stag
Yeah
Very hot here as well
Okay
The game doesn't like that oc
I'm lagging hard
XDD
wintry prairie
I have 4333 memory, but bad timings. I'll be upgrading slowly in the next couple months.
Or maybe wait for next gen
plain stag
I got 4000 mhx ram
wintry prairie
¯_(ツ)_/¯
wintry prairie
Nice
plain stag
Hmm, i should try without ray tracing
wintry prairie
Absolutely, higher fps
plain stag
Yep
And its not like bf5s ray tracing implementation is the greatest
Huh
In dx11 mode
Gpu utilization is only 60%
And i got the same fps
Guess I'll have to try dx12 mode then
wintry prairie
Yes DX12
You may also want to enable Resizable Bar:

Ugh, and I just remebered you don't have an EVGA . . .

with DX12?
wintry prairie
Very nice!
plain stag
Okay
Even more
I had about 100 fps average
I'm at like 130 average now
Same map

wintry prairie
👍
eager whale
With my 1660ti DX12 is the mode I have to use because my GPU sits at 67% utilisation in DX11 no matter what :/
eager whale
I literally get 30 to 40 fps more on fjell
That's a ridiculous amount of extra FPS
plain stag
5600x is amazinf
Yep
Im like holy shit wtf
Literally had 100 fps average in dx11 mode
Crazy gains
Ray tracing didn't even reduce fps that much
Definitely had above 100 fps average with ray tracing on
And i need to check if i have ReBAR on
Prob not
Didn't go on bios when i installed the gpu
wintry prairie
5600x is amazinf
That's what I keep hearing
plain stag
its so good
about 65% utilization in bf5
i no longer have a cpu bottleneck in bf5 😄
my 6600k was maxed out
I'll also need to test if i get more fps without an oc, or with oc
I prob get more, cuz i got all 6 cores at 4.6ghz
While without oc or with pbo, only one core would boost up higher

Is there a way to reduce bottleneck percentage?
Im getting bottlenecked with 3070 and r5 3600
glad topaz
cpu bottleneck?
keen shore
Cpu
glad topaz
what resolution are you on
keen shore
1080
I can’t afford a 1440p
After spending $800 on the gpu only
yeah I guess and its a decent brand
3 fan overclocked
glad topaz
aside from buying a new cpu you can't really do much
keen shore
5600x?
eager whale
Only bottleneck really is the amount of VRAM
keen shore
The bottleneck isn’t very noticeable but its there
Getting around 150fps on bfv ultra settings
Ray tracing enabled 120 fps
glad topaz
you can turn up the resolution scale to increase gpu usage
if you don't want it to be a cpu bottleneck
supple bane
yeah but its pointless
it will increase gpu usage but the fps will stay the same or decrease
glad topaz
yeah
supple bane
so basically you are just making the gpu run hotter for no reason.
weak girder
Getting around 150fps on bfv ultra settings
is that supposed to be a problem?
glad topaz
i mean supersampling does look better
weak girder
is that supposed to be a problem?
you wont tell the difference anyway even if the fps is higher
and if you buy a brand new monitor, the bottleneck will be reduced giving more or less the same fps at 1440p so its not rly a problem
same with upscaling
keen shore
So upscaling fixes the problem?
glad topaz
its not really a problem but you can supersample without affecting fps
weak girder
So upscaling fixes the problem?
more or less, the game'll look prettier with about the same fps
and its not a problem btw
glad topaz
may as well use the full power of the gpu
keen shore
and its not a problem btw

Hey guys, would you think 3060 (maybe the ti version), i7 11700f and 16 gb 3200mHz ram would be enough to play BF2042 smoothly at 1080p? Planning to buy those components. Right now i have a 1070 with i5 7500 and 16 gb 2400mHz ram.
woeful kelp
also in ultra, that would be NIIIICE
then ill problably buy that too
its funnt that the ti version has 4 gb less vram
funny
than the original 3060
wintry prairie
Is there a way to reduce bottleneck percentage?
Yes, you can run resizable BAR if you have a GPU from EVGA. It might help a bit, not a ton.
midnight crypt
Ultra settings are almost never worth using
wintry prairie
True
woeful kelp
are you talking about competitive advantage? or just no difference between medium and ultra settings?
wintry prairie
Both
woeful kelp
yeah ok
midnight crypt
There is not much difference between high and ultra most of the time
And ultra just eats frames
wintry prairie
I get same fps running Ultra, medium, low
But its more of a CPU bottleneck for me atm.
woeful kelp
my 1070 atm is too strong... my i5 7500 cant handle it xD
but anyway, is there even a big difference between a 3 fan graphic card and 2 fan graphic card?
because the 3060 ti im looking at right now has 2 cooling fans where the 3060 has 3
supple bane
if you want a card with 3 fans... just get a 3060 with 3 fans

"Should" be better cooling. But it doesn't really matter. My GPU for the past 10 years have had zero fans. 🙂

but anyway. generally a triple fan card will perform better yes.

yeah 4c4t cpus are really starting to struggle now. the 7500 has decent single core performance but it struggles in modern games just because of a lack of threads
when those parts launched, it would have been a good pairing. but now as times have progressed and games are needing more multithreaded cpu's, the 7500 just cant keep up.
