[latent light]

This is why 12+ core CPUs should be the norm

That way you dont have to worry about closing pages or disabling background apps

[cloud solar]

me on 4 cores and no hyperthreading

[latent light]

I been there, had a Ryzen 3 1300X

Opening just Chrome or Edge would spike usage to like 70%

[quick locust]

My laptop had 4c4t Jaguar in 2014

That was pain

[latent light]

Yeah I had an A6-3400M laptop

Had decent integrated graphics

[quick locust]

Surprisingly that laptop had a dedicated gpu

But the drivers was a bit of a mess

Mine was 6410 or 6310

With hd 8500M

[latent light]

It's weird that I never had any issues with AMD graphics before Polaris

[quick locust]

I had issues with switching between dedicated and integrated

On amd+amd

[latent light]

I remember Intel + Nvidia laptops had that problem like a decade ago

It would try to use Intel HD instead of Nvidia

[quick locust]

This was 2014

In an odd configuration

[eager whale]

Discord used to use 34% of the CPU on my friend's old Macbook 😂

[violet iris]

hey how do you guys equip role icons?

I noticed they seem to be equipped in this server and wanted to do the same for mine

[storm osprey]

uhhh, i guess dm @woeful crater, but thats like.. a general discord question so... google it?

[proud trellis]

i think everyone who has a role apart from game news and them additional roles should get emojis next to their name

[violet iris]

From what i can tell it seems kind of random

[proud trellis]

the ADMINS i think can choose who gets the emoji next to their name

i think its like a customisable feature now

[violet iris]

yea i was just curious because i dont have the option on my server despite it being a level 2

so I was wondering if there was anything special they did

[proud trellis]

go to roles, then edit one of the roles, and go to where it says choose image and then go from there

[cloud solar]

you need to have enough boosts for it

[proud trellis]

his server is level 2 so he says

[tardy lintel]

I’m going crazy trying to figure out what keyboard to buy

So many buzz words and options

Holy smokes I’m going mad

I know what I want but no idea where to get it

What I need to get

Or if it’s even possible to do with 150$ Canadian dollars budget

🤪

[glad topaz]

what kind of keyboard are you looking for?

[tardy lintel]

65% for gaming

Pbt

Aluminum chassis if possible

And switches no idea

Something good for gaming but also doesn’t like complete shit

I’ve been looking at K2

With the aluminum body

[glad topaz]

thats a decent keyboard

you should read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/wiki/buying_guide

it has some good information

[tardy lintel]

Okay thanks mate

[glad topaz]

np

[rain void]

What do yall think? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gdhdhsjdhdmxj/saved/#view=Y9X4Mp

[tardy lintel]

It’s pretty much what I have except I have R7 3700

I have the same monitor too 😂

Good luck finding the card though

At least in Canada it’s like impossible

[rain void]

Ya lol

[opaque saddle]

Do you have a 144hz or 165hz display? I would highly recommend to get one if you don't have one already. The UHD display is nice to have even I use it daily. However, you will need a high refresh rate monitor for gaming or FPS gaming. It makes a huge difference

[tardy lintel]

Oh my bad yeah mine is 165hz

@rain void I would strongly recommend a higher refresh

[rain void]

What about the TUF VG27BQ

[arctic dragon]

Damn so the recommended gpu is at least a 3060. I thought they would just put the 2060

[opaque saddle]

It can be normal to be able to hear the fan noise. However, if the interior of the card gets too dusty or the thermal paste got dried up completely, you can do a clean up but to be very careful.

@rose holly

Is that a cheaper model?

Coz if the heat sink isn’t thick, with less surface areas. Your fans will work much harder in order to provide the cooling for the card

Sorry… I don’t accept DM

But what model is it

I can look it up

Which gigabyte

Coz they have a few models

I’m using the gaming OC

Hmm

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6GB - GV-N2060D6-6GD-REV2
?

Coz I have similar issue where the fan speed reaches 70% and it is really loud

But it won’t happen if I let it set to auto

Enough airflow to the Gpu from the case ?

Hmm anyway it should be around 72C under load

It is possible it is autumn in where you are, so the temp can potentially be a few Degree higher

It is like I have the same setup back in my bedroom, it is cool in winter but it can be 37-38C without AC in bedroom in summer, making the ambient temp 10-15C higher than “reference”

What’s the room temp?

I mean inside

Coz if you got AC running, that would be a different story

No worries, it is possible the ambient temp is high enough and always reach the loud noise levels. In that case, if you don’t have the AC running, the indoor temp can be the main root causing the issue

I mean it is normal

[opaque saddle]

FPS drop?

Idk coz I don’t own a 2060

However

It usually be around 70-75C range if it is a lower tier card with bad cooling

[lofty light]

That looks fine to me

[opaque saddle]

Bad cooling can be, VERY HOT indoor temp, less efficient cooling

As I said before, the card usually sits at 72C mark

Coz it is summer in where you are, I guess it is fair to have a few C differences

[lofty light]

The 2060 has inbuilt throttling so the performance is better at lower temps, so unless you're hitting 90's you're alright

[opaque saddle]

As long as you don’t own a ZOTAC 2070 AMP, you will be fine. Coz it runs at 85-92C temp in summer

And I remember that card throttles when it gets to 90-92C mark

No worries

But yeah. If you really want to decrease the fan noise, set your AC to 24C, get a larger case with more fans

[craggy dagger]

is an i7-6700 THAT bad? like, will the game be borderline unplayable?

im obviously only asking for your guys' opinions, since the beta is not out yet

[opaque saddle]

6700 isn't bad at all. In comparison to other 6-8 cores CPU, It is slower with more stuttering and fps drops

[craggy dagger]

ah, so you're saying stuttering is most likely the main "threat" on my cpu?

[opal cliff]

With the specs out for the beta. How do you think a i5 7500 gtx 10708gb 16 gb ram will run the beta?

[opaque saddle]

It is playable with a 6700. But you can see more fps drop than other newer, more cores CPU

[craggy dagger]

Thanks for the answer!, will a certain video setting be able to compensate for that?

[opaque saddle]

I would say, possible. No one have actually tested with the in game settings yet.

[craggy dagger]

I think its a cpu bottleneck? im not sure tho

[craggy dagger]

Much appreciated

[opaque saddle]

It works fine at 1080p. Not sure how many fps it will get

[craggy dagger]

aight i guess i got my daily copium dose

[opal cliff]

Yeah I saw my cpu was above minimum so praying it will be somewhat playable for me lol

[craggy dagger]

is my cpu above minimum tho? i can't tell

i7-6700

[opaque saddle]

4core 4/8 threads processors isn't an issue running the game

!!betaspecs

[silent oasis]

These are the minimum/recommended PC requirements released by DICE for the Open Beta: https://i.imgur.com/4hJnAqF.png
See more on: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/open-beta#pcrequirements

[opaque saddle]

Hmm

[opal cliff]

Or at least I think it’s above it. I’m not the best with computer knowledge

[opaque saddle]

Yeah...

I think they want a quad core 4 thread processor for minimum

[craggy dagger]

me too, that's why i came to this channel to discuss all the nerdy stuff i don't know 👍

[opaque saddle]

And quad core 8 threads CPU for recommended

[craggy dagger]

and my cpu basically only has one core

man

[opal cliff]

Lol for real

[opaque saddle]

People will upgrade their parts for the games if they have the money

But if people who cannot afford for a newer PC, they will only upgrade it every 5-7 years

But once again, that is the beta specs

[opal cliff]

Yeah well I guess I will see how it runs for me pretty soon lol

[opaque saddle]

Doesn't mean it will 100% be the specs for the final game

[opal cliff]

Do you think specs might lower for the final game?

[opaque saddle]

I don't know

We don't know

[opal cliff]

Yeah true

[craggy dagger]

the recommended seems ridiculous

[opal cliff]

Hella hoping they do lol

[craggy dagger]

even mw2019 had lower specs, and that game looks incredible

unless... that's not how it works

i dont know

[opal cliff]

Yeah 3060 is pretty crazy

[opaque saddle]

I won't make any assumptions coz I don't represent anyone or any roles from this server

[craggy dagger]

its like the halo infinite playtest all over again lol, have you seen the specs there?

[opal cliff]

Yeah it’s it’s insane

I mean game looks good but not that good to justify those requirements lol

[craggy dagger]

this.

did people try it with specs lower than the recommended?

i was to lazy to register personally

[opal cliff]

Lol same

[cloud solar]

recommended cant play the game well

the game is just unoptimized on pc

[craggy dagger]

good thing i was lazy then

i guess

[cloud solar]

i think the 2nd test was better than the 1st

the 1st one had 3080s struggling in 1440p

[young hearth]

Recommend graphics card is a 3060

[cloud solar]

hopefully thats recommended for 1440p or 4k ultra and dlss off

[leaden tusk]

Recommended is most likely 1080p60

[cloud solar]

not with a fucking 3060 it isnt

if it really runs that terribly i will legitimately just refund the game

[leaden tusk]

I said "most likely". Like 98% of the time.

Ubisoft does a better job. They release different specs for different resolutions

with RTX on/off yada yada yada

[cloud solar]

im not dropping a mortgage on a pc just to play battlefield

[leaden tusk]

a 3060 is not that beast of a gpu. You can tune down some settings

[cloud solar]

the cost of the pc for recommended settings is still a fucking downpayment on a car

i could buy a whole ass car or play 2042

[plucky token]

3060 is equal to a 1080

[leaden tusk]

Yeah well depends on the car tho

You can reach the recommended settings with equivalent parts with 1000$? Not following the pc part market atm

[plucky token]

Eh

More

Gpus are still over msrp

[leaden tusk]

is a 1080 still expensive?

[plucky token]

Mhm 500$ on ebay and more

[leaden tusk]

I gifted my 1080ti to a friend some months ago

guess I should have kept it

[plucky token]

3060 is like 650€ here

[leaden tusk]

oof

[cloud solar]

the 3060 is like 800 usd

[plucky token]

Like. I got my gpu for 899 on launch day...

[leaden tusk]

lucky 3080 find?

[plucky token]

Ye

[leaden tusk]

Yep. People told me I'm crazy buying a Strix OC for 950€ 3 weeks after launch

[cloud solar]

for the good ones

you can get a shitty single fan one for like 600$ but idk whos doing that

[plucky token]

Buddy of me got his gpu delivered a year after ordering...

[cloud solar]

prices dont seem to be consistent

[plucky token]

He ordered it at 24.09.2020 got it on 24.09.2021

@cloud solar well. The game is "next gen" and not a brick from years ago. Pc needs to keep up with the consoles in terms of performance usage. The old consoles get a down scaled version of the game. Either you get a decent pc (unlucky times for that i know) or you play it on ps5/-xsx

[leaden tusk]

You have to keep in mind, that the game is clearly developed for next gen

[cloud solar]

so next gen its going to ps4 and xbox one

[leaden tusk]

oh well

[cloud solar]

ill buy a car instead, battlefield 2042 will be mid anyways

[plucky token]

Ps4 and xone get a downgraded version

[leaden tusk]

Yeah, it's another version of the game

[plucky token]

Your choice what you do

[leaden tusk]

If you are in need of a car, go for it. IRL is always more important than videogames

[plucky token]

[arctic dragon]

Can people with pc's that have similar specs to ps4 and xb1 play 128 player mode?

I wonder how much fps difference is between a 64 player game and a 128 player game

[quick locust]

yes they can since it's one pc version

how well though idk

though its pretty easy going above ps4/xbox one spec

[gleaming arrow]

my rtx 3080 just arrived!!

Should i sell my gtx 1080 ti?

[cloud solar]

yeah for like 300$

also give it a good clean first

[gleaming arrow]

Like what

Cleaning it with water?

[cloud solar]

take the shroud and fan off and wash those

take a q-tip and get the dust out of the heatsink

canned air will help too

[gleaming arrow]

Alr

Have it since almost 3 years

[cloud solar]

you can look up some guides online, its usually just a few screws and youre done

if you wash it well and make it look nice theres a better chance itll sell bc it just looks better

[gleaming arrow]

Alr alr

Uhh should i sell it for 300 nzd or 400 nzd

[cloud solar]

go for around 500 nzd

thats about 350 usd

i see some going for 500 usd but i mean youre more likely to sell it if you price it reasonably

[gleaming arrow]

Feel like it's too much for me

[cloud solar]

do 450 maybe

bc you can get a good amount of money for them without completely over pricing it and id really hate for you to rip yourself off tbh

[gleaming arrow]

Yeah i'll sell it for 700 nzd

[cloud solar]

i mean ig you can but thats too much imo

[gleaming arrow]

Jk

I'll just sell it for 430 nzd

[cloud solar]

seems like a good price

idk how the market is there so i cant say much

[gleaming arrow]

Yea

[slate scroll]

I want 1080

[glad topaz]

check trademe prices

[slate scroll]

Graphics cards on my country prices are 3x more

[quick locust]

why that one specifically

[cloud solar]

no. 430 is a good price

[marsh gull]

guys is an i7 10700f futureproof and good for a 3060 ti?

its on sale rn

only 260usd

[midnight crypt]

Not future proof but its good for that gpu

[cloud solar]

not even close to "future proof" but itll be good for the gpu

[marsh gull]

wdym not future proof?

i just don't wanna upgrade my cpu for the next 3-4 years

[marsh gull]

a 10th gen i7 looks pretty good to me

[opaque saddle]

What’s your monitor specs

If is also recommended to get one if it isn’t a high refresh rate monitor

[marsh gull]

i have one 75hz 1080 lg monitor and another curved 144hz 1080p msi monitor but when i get my new computer im getting a 29inch 1440p 144 hz curved gigabyte monitor

[opaque saddle]

Coz the specs you have, should be aiming for higher fps

[marsh gull]

yeah

im aiming for 1080 and some 1440p

[opaque saddle]

It seems the new computer may struggle a lot for 1440p

[marsh gull]

with a 3060 ti?

[opaque saddle]

I mean 3060ti

Yeah. Coz I have a 3440x1440p ultrawide and my pc only get 110-125fps in BFV low settings

I have a 2070SUPER

but still, it is 1440p ultrawide

And it is a 2070SUPER

[marsh gull]

that can't be true i saw benchmarks it gets 144fps 1440 ultra on bf5

[marsh gull]

the 3060 ti is like 20-30% faster than a 2070 super

[marsh gull]

and it's an ultrwide

more pixels

[opaque saddle]

Well I don’t use FFR and DX12

[marsh gull]

that could help

[opaque saddle]

Yeah but that will create the unwanted latency

[marsh gull]

it's not that bad

[opaque saddle]

But I would say 1440p 144hz is the max you would be getting off 3060ti

[marsh gull]

but a 3060 ti is close to a 2080 super, not a 2070 super

[opaque saddle]

Not tested

[marsh gull]

it's the ideal, considering i might stay on 1080p for a while

[marsh gull]

saw benchmarks

[opaque saddle]

Doesn’t mean it will be the fps for the actual game

[marsh gull]

i won't have any bottlenecks

[opaque saddle]

Some maps tends to be more intense than others

[gleaming arrow]

dip da dee da dee da doo doo

[marsh gull]

yes

[marsh gull]

ok

[opaque saddle]

But I will be aiming for something faster than 3060ti if you want to run the game without fps drop at 1440p 144hz

However

The price you got seems like a good deal

[marsh gull]

i find 80-110 fps very smooth and playable and my budget is pretty tight so the 3060 ti is ideal for me

[marsh gull]

yeah its a 50usd price difference with the stock msrp

[opaque saddle]

I usually pay for the premium for the upper tier gaming cards

Not the most expensive tiers, the most premium model people can get for their cards

[marsh gull]

but ill buy my system without the 3060 ti since its costs too much with the shortage. ill be putting my 1650 super in it intil i can find a 2080 super or a 3060 ti at an acceptable price

[marsh gull]

oh like rog strix versions

[opaque saddle]

But also please do a check if the temp considered high or low for the 3060ti

Coz sometimes the cards can run at 84-93C with third party cards, not even a reference card, due to poor heat sink and fan thermal solution

This is when people decided to pay for a bit more premium coz they don’t want the excessive fan noise.

[marsh gull]

the temperature stays pretty low on the bonchmarks

[marsh gull]

i don't care that much about noise i always play with a headset on

[opaque saddle]

Hmm okay. Coz a friend of mine was playing games with GPU at 92C, with frames drop

100% fan noise

[marsh gull]

the case i have chosen has good airflow

[opaque saddle]

Good

[marsh gull]

which gpu

[marsh gull]

its the tuf gt301

[opaque saddle]

ZOTAC 2070 AMP

is the one he got

[marsh gull]

looks good, is good value, comes with 4 fans, (3argb)

[marsh gull]

noice

[opaque saddle]

Nah that card isn’t nice at all

[marsh gull]

could be a bottlenech in his system

[opaque saddle]

It has the highest temp among all third party cards

[marsh gull]

lmao 92 on deskop is a bit much but that card is pretty good

[marsh gull]

fair enouph

[opaque saddle]

But yeah. Just wanna make sure you may be happy with your purchase

[quick locust]

yea

[marsh gull]

yeah man thx i have been doing way to much research on the exact parts im getting i wanna keep this pc for a decently long time

[graceful plover]

Hey

[opaque saddle]

Coz I know people wants good cards and low fan noise

[marsh gull]

sup

[opaque saddle]

No worries

[marsh gull]

if the temps dont go over 70c and the preformance is good i dont care about fan noise tbh

[quick locust]

mine was super loud until i fixed it up

[graceful plover]

Just wondering if the alienware x17 r1 is enough for battlefield 2042

[marsh gull]

whatd you do?

[quick locust]

70C is fine

[marsh gull]

dont go alienware

[graceful plover]

Why

[quick locust]

readjusted mount pressure

that isnt really tech

[marsh gull]

overpriced, comes with bloatware, uses cheap coolers, bad temps, bad customer support, scammy customer practises...etc

[opaque saddle]

Yeah. But the problem was the actual card has a poor heat sink and thermal solution

(I mean my friends’ 2070)

[clear shuttle]

forgot to change channels. thanks. lol

[graceful plover]

Then which is the best powerful gaming laptop that is currently available

[marsh gull]

wow zotac

[marsh gull]

msi has some pretty good ones and lenovo too

[quick locust]

at least not biostar 6700xt

[marsh gull]

that are cheaper and more powerful

[quick locust]

it runs 3500-3800 rpm stock

dual fan

on a 130W card

lol

[opaque saddle]

Sounds awful

[clear shuttle]

What? There are some solid reviews on the x17?

[quick locust]

it's the loudest 6700xt by far

[opaque saddle]

Remember the vacuum cleaner Nvidia card?

[marsh gull]

that exact alienware laptop is not bad but you can find more competitive options

[quick locust]

there's also the strix advantage 6800M laptop

[quick locust]

yeah fx series

nvidia themselves mocked it

[clear shuttle]

I have found Xotic PC has some good options. I bought a MSI GS73 VR from them over 5 years ago, used it daily and it still works great...

[marsh gull]

yeah msi usually offers very competitive options

i mean go for msi ifw

[quick locust]

Nvidia and AMD: Let's both have a horrible series and call it fx

[graceful plover]

Am looking to buy a very good gaming laptop. Any suggestions?

[clear shuttle]

Budget and size?

[quick locust]

asus advantage with 6800M

[graceful plover]

$5k

[clear shuttle]

USD?

[graceful plover]

Cad

[quick locust]

[clear shuttle]

Okay..I have to ask..why such a budget for a laptop? why not a desktop?

[graceful plover]

Cause I move around alot

[clear shuttle]

Like every week or what?

[quick locust]

one with highest power 3080 or 6800M

[clear shuttle]

A desktop with a monitor is not hard to move. lol. you can get a itx system and its small and portable

[graceful plover]

Not really. But laptop is more reliable for me

[clear shuttle]

With that budget...which is HUGE for a laptop..i wouldn't even suggest one to you...but..if you must...

[graceful plover]

Well am just considering to buy one. May be ill buy a console. Just want to know which are the best laptops out there atm

[clear shuttle]

what? okay. your saying 5k for a laptop and then a few hundred for a console..so the laptop is a wish, not a you are going to buy it?

[midnight crypt]

id wait and see what new laptops will release soonish

if you really want one

[clear shuttle]

uh! I cant stand the "just wait". There is ALWAYS something new coming out. If you always wait you will never buy.

[graceful plover]

Well I used to play on laptop, never played on a console. So may be I will either get a laptop or console.

[midnight crypt]

i mean new releases are right around the corner

otherwise i wouldnt say that

[clear shuttle]

New releases are ALWAYS right around the corner...

[midnight crypt]

no

[clear shuttle]

Its tech..it never stops

[quick locust]

zephyrus with 3080, advantage edition with 6800M, ge76,

lots of options

[clear shuttle]

ok dude. whatever..not going to argue this with you again.

[midnight crypt]

"again"

[marsh gull]

lenvo legion laptop, msi 3080-class laptops

[clear shuttle]

yeah. i saw you weeks ago with something telling them to wait..

[midnight crypt]

and?

[marsh gull]

you have anouph money to get both

[opaque saddle]

Laptop and desktop computers are two different markets

[marsh gull]

yes they are totally different

[opaque saddle]

People want agile, small size and portability should go for laptop

And the price will remain high

[clear shuttle]

Everyone..don't buy anything EVER! Don't buy a new Iphone 12 cuz the 13 is coming out. Don't buy a new car cuz a new model is coming out. dont buy a new TV cuz new models are coming out..dont buy anything, ever! new stuff is commminggg!

[wintry prairie]

Ok

[midnight crypt]

im not sure where you got that from

[opaque saddle]

You know people should always go for the newer one unless the older model does better job at much lower price

[clear shuttle]

Personally, with a 5k budget..I would not buy a laptop...you can't even upgrade it...in a few years its work nothing and outdated..not like a desktop you can just swap out parts..a Console is a different story. I still have a xbox one and it runs fine, and plays games no issues. will last at least 7 years

[opaque saddle]

It is like, you can get an iPhone 11 for $250 or 13 for $799

In that case, I will go for the iPhone 11

[clear shuttle]

Right, but some people have money to blow...and don't care.

I get it though..

[opaque saddle]

This is the only exception when it comes down the price. If I need the better camera, they will go for 13 pro

[prime jasper]

Funny Domino's DeLorean

[quick locust]

My phone has bad camera but i always use my actual camera instead

[clear shuttle]

Me, I have always just bought the best when I get something..the newest..because then it lasts longer..just like running my 9900k/2080 Ti..I bought the best at the time, and still no need to upgrade. Same with my phone..and most things. The only exception for me was for a SUV. I still have a 2015 X-trail...low KM.

[tropic field]

Same

[opaque saddle]

I got the 3600 and 2070S and I don’t need an update for another 5 years

[quick locust]

i got 8700K and 2080 ti

my 8700K has done great for 4 years

is the 1080 ti of cpus, keeps trucking

[tropic field]

Not sure why people would get the iPhone 13 for just the camera when you can get a $300 viewfinder and take infinitely better pictures

[clear shuttle]

exactly..it still works great right? No need to get new.

[quick locust]

was cheaper than ryzen 1700X

[tropic field]

I still have an rx580 💀

Had it for 4 or so years

[quick locust]

still ok enough

pretty hard to get decent gpu rn

[tropic field]

Yeah

[opaque saddle]

Some people likes getting higher performance parts and they don’t need an upgrade for a long time. Some people do not have the budget and paid for the bare minimum and some of them may ended up getting 2 computers for much more.

[quick locust]

one in intel server uses a 7100 with integrated graphics and single channel ram, says he won't upgrade for years

i don't understand him

lol

[arctic dragon]

Will BFV and bf2042 run at similar framerates?

[quick locust]

Noone knows

Find out later

[clear shuttle]

This is very true. I WANT new pc..but I don't think I am going to get one..I can afford it, no problem, but I don't see a reason just yet.

[quick locust]

i k

[wintry prairie]

Its fairly easy to get a gpu if you become an elite member and sign up for the queue right away. The supers are coming . . .

[arctic dragon]

Also will the game run better or worse after beta ends? Full game has to be better optimized right?

[quick locust]

i kind of want a new ssd, but no need yet

[opaque saddle]

Unless it has the use case like, browsing the web and watching YouTube videos. The 7100 does the job just fine. Gaming will be another story…

[quick locust]

he runs games at like 4-6 fps

lol

[opaque saddle]

I have 2 PC stacked on top of each other’s

[quick locust]

and single channel cause he broke a slot

somehow

I've got a bunch of laptops stacked that I've used over time

[opaque saddle]

I have the 2070S on my main rig and a 960 on the 2nd rig. The 960 reduce the temp and noise level in summer

If I game with the 960 in my old bedroom, it would reach 40C indoor in summer definitely

[quick locust]

mine's pretty quiet after i readjusted mounting pressure of the cooler

since that dropped hot spot a lot

40C indoor rip

[opaque saddle]

People may get reference cards for custom water cooled add on

[quick locust]

people used to get 1080 ti armor a lot for that

[opaque saddle]

Nah it is just the starting… coz as I said it reached 39C once with all windows and door open, ceiling fan at max speed

[quick locust]

because nobody else wanted it

since bad cooler

[opaque saddle]

So if I game at that time with my main rig that I have, it may reach 44-46C indoor no doubt

[quick locust]

Toasty

[opaque saddle]

Things do melt at that temp…

[quick locust]

a few

not that much

[opaque saddle]

Not all

If there is a candle inside. It will melt

[quick locust]

yeah

at least candles usually have a thing to catch melted liquid

[opaque saddle]

We had a candle at 47C outside, it tilted sideways

[quick locust]

in climate like that you'd really want higher end coolers for noise lol

though it doesn't help heat output to room ofc

just doesn't make the card super loud

[opaque saddle]

Room temp does affect the card temp and performance

[quick locust]

i know

hence you'd want higher end cooler so the temp delta is smaller

so it isn't as loud

doesn't help your room going to 46C though 😛

[opaque saddle]

Since I move to a slightly cooler climate, it makes a lot of difference anyway

[quick locust]

yeah

[opaque saddle]

But it is still as warm as where I used to live

I moved 11 degrees South

But the Australian mainland does get warm unless I moved to Antartica

This is somewhere further south if to find another continent from Australia. The PC does works better indoor

[quick locust]

Qh

Ah

Imagine a pc in alice springs

[opaque saddle]

A pc in Alice springs isn’t an issue

The place can get low temp in winter but the summer is really warm

Speaking of high temp, the highest temp ever recorded Alice is still colder compared to Sydney, but it has a much higher average temp. (Only one day)

[graceful plover]

Should I go with rtx 3080 or 3070 on a laptop heard that there isn’t much performance difference

[quick locust]

Depends on wattage and cooling

[opaque saddle]

I think you have to consider if you need to replace the ram (see single vs dual rank) and if the laptop has better cooling solution

Coz a 3070 on laptop is still a 3070, a 3080 with a poor cooling solution won’t works as a 3080

[graceful plover]

Thanks for the info. Let me check that out

[marsh gull]

get a 3070 in most cases its very similar to the 3080 on laptops

[quick locust]

Or get 6700M or 6800M ones

There's just fewer with them

But they can beat both

[near rune]

ive got an rtx 3060 laptop and it runs any game i play

even heavier games like dcs

or assetto corsa

at well past 100fps

[graceful plover]

Which one is it

[near rune]

msi gf65 thin

[gleaming arrow]

You still play dcs?

[near rune]

i havent played it in a while

[lament flare]

Nice

I have RTX3060 laptop too.

[lofty kindle]

are there big differences between a ryzen 2600 and a 3600?

[meager crown]

yes

[lofty kindle]

Ive looked the cores and threads are same

And there is a 0.5ghz differences but is ghz important

[quick locust]

only if same architecture

which these aren't

3600 is zen 2, 2600 is zen+

and is quite a bit faster

[lofty kindle]

but do you think i have to upgrade before playing beta of bf

[upbeat peak]

Yo do you think an i5 and 2060 would be enough for the new battlefield?

[storm osprey]

which i5?

[upbeat peak]

I5-10400f

[storm osprey]

for 1080p low 60fps i imagine that will be easy to achieve

[upbeat peak]

Man I hate that you can't send pictures here lol

Hello @astral merlin, what am I supposed to do to get a rank that let's me send pictures?

[opaque saddle]

there is no rank system here

[midnight crypt]

you earn a regular role

[opaque saddle]

either a regular or a server booster have the ability to post pictures

[storm rune]

!regular

Doesn't seem to work.

[supple bane]

you need to be regular to use the commands

!!regular

[storm rune]

But what am I supposed to do to be one

[supple bane]

well the bot is ded anyway lol

basically just be active

hence "regular"

[silent oasis]

The Regular role is earned by users automatically who are active in chat and follow the server rules. With this role you can post/embed images, use some bot commands, and change what color you appear in chat.

[storm rune]

[latent light]

Navi 33 (RX 7700 XT) apparently has 4,096 cores (16 WGP), not 5,120 (20 WGP) like previously thought. Still faster than RX 6900 XT.

Navi 31 (RX 7900 XT) has 15,360 cores (60 WGP), that's more than 3x of the RX 7700 XT.

Performance jump could be bigger than we ever seen

[supple bane]

when are these rumoured to drop?

[latent light]

Originally was planned for Novemeber 2022 launch but seems to have been moved a few months back

[river scarab]

Best budget gpu to play bf5? (around 200EURO)

[storm osprey]

good luck getting any gpu for 200 euro

[latent light]

Can't get a viable GPU or even APU for that much rn

[river scarab]

Well, i could get a GTX 1050 Ti

[pale quartz]

a 3600 is much better than a 2600 because of IPC increases, it's highly advised you upgrade

[river scarab]

But not sure how good is it for BF5

[pale quartz]

1080p? adequate, 1440p, definitely not

and 4k is a slidefest

[river scarab]

i dont need 1440p

the only thing i need is to run the game at 60fps

i dont mind if theres no 1080p

[pale quartz]

for bf v it's fine, it will run at 60 "mostly"

[river scarab]

i have a 720p monitor

[pale quartz]

oh then you'll be totally fine

[river scarab]

what do u think, it would run good with a r5 1600?

[pale quartz]

720p is not demanding whatsoever expect 60 frames on anything minus ultra

[river scarab]

well im thinking about to get a rtx 3060 actually but that wouldnt be overkill for a r5 1600?

[pale quartz]

the 1600 will bottleneck a 3060 it is however not "overkill"

[toxic wigeon]

Not really. You can always upgrade later

[pale quartz]

hardware is important for longevity, not just what you can run now

[river scarab]

alr

thanks

[pale quartz]

np

[latent light]

Steam Deck gets over 30 fps on Shadow of the Tomb Raider at maximum settings

That's really good for a handheld

[opaque saddle]

dont worry

[latent light]

Steam Deck is helping Linux gaming grow so much

[pale quartz]

is it really surprising?

has a powerhouse of hardware and a tiny screen

[opaque saddle]

it is like running a mobile hardware running at HD res

[latent light]

1280x800 resolution for the display

16:10 ratio

[pale quartz]

far from it

it uses RDNA2 and zen 2, no mobile hardware even comes remotely close

[latent light]

Steam Deck is far more powerful than a Xbox One or PS4

[pale quartz]

^

[latent light]

Exynos 2200 in upcoming select Galaxy S22 phones use RDNA2 too

[opaque saddle]

IIRC it was a mobile cpu but it is zen 2

closer to lower end 3100, the desktop cpu

[pale quartz]

it will be a custom design so that puts it into a bit of a mystery

[pale quartz]

it's an APU not a CPU

[latent light]

I heard Exynos 2200 GPU gets over 1 TFlop

[opaque saddle]

well... haven't use the term apu for a while

[pale quartz]

desktop ryzen CPUs don't have any iGPUs in them the laptop APUs do, the mobile parts are cut-down from the laptop parts

[pale quartz]

I'd bet on it

Samsung's exynos isn't actually, terrible, this time round, it's just not revolutionary

and Qualcomm since the 855 knows it and have been incredibly lazy with their SOCs

[latent light]

Exynos 2100 was disappointing

[pale quartz]

actually not really

credit to Samsung in that regard actually as they've continuously improved on the scheduler for the 2100 even months after launch

2100 was on par mostly with Qualcomm, it took them what, 5 years, but at least they got there

not a thermal mess like the rest

[latent light]

2200 is supposed to have big CPU and GPU performance gain

[pale quartz]

CPU? don't count on it

[latent light]

Apparently faces A15 Bionic pretty well

[pale quartz]

AMD are only sharing RDNA tech with Samsung, it's where most of the gains will come from

android 12 has a lot of rendering changes that offloads to the GPU through the KVM so it'll benefit massively from it, on the CPU side I'll be surprised if there isn't anything different over the usual gains

it might actually be very distorted just purely down to the architectural changes in android 12 alone that skews any performance difference for the 2200

[toxic wigeon]

Do consoles use dlss?

Or a variant of it?

[quick locust]

Not yet

But they could potentionally use fsr

Not DLSS though that's nvidia only (which only the switch has)

[honest bison]

DLSS will be lovely for 2042

free double fps

[pale quartz]

DLSS is proprietary technology, it's impossible for the consoles to use it as it depends on the CUDA interface

FSR however is a GPU agnostic technology and is already used in (some) console titles, that list will quickly expand as time goes on

[toxic wigeon]

Ahhh

[atomic jackal]

why is bf 5 problematic on dx 12?

i get stutters when i enable dlss

and dx 12

[pale quartz]

because the game wasn't built on directx 12 it was on 11, the mode is experimental

[storm rune]

but dx12 has such better fps

i get more fps on ultra in dx12 than i get on low in dx11

[pale quartz]

directx 12 has a lot of optimisations to improve performance, it was just never developed from dx12 as a base

[storm rune]

but i think bf 2042 is

developed in dx12

[pale quartz]

the same issue happens on other games that implement dx12 aswell bfv isn't the only one

[storm rune]

yep

[pale quartz]

I'd be surprised if not

very surprised actually

[storm rune]

in recommended it says dx12

so i think it is dx12

[pale quartz]

if it's the minimum requirement, it's built from dx12

[atomic jackal]

i get 70 fps with an rtx 3060 ti

dx 12 is so unstable

[storm rune]

on what?

ultra without rt?

[atomic jackal]

no

on dx 12

as i said it makes the game stutter

without it i get 180 ish

[pale quartz]

it is a hit and miss

[storm rune]

on what settings

[pale quartz]

you aren't guaranteed for it to work

[storm rune]

in my case my fps suck in dx11

[atomic jackal]

ultra

[storm rune]

i get like 100-110 fps in 1080p

[atomic jackal]

bruh

[storm rune]

on ultra without rt

[atomic jackal]

idk

[storm rune]

on rtx 3070

[atomic jackal]

we got the same problem but in different dx versions

kekw

[storm rune]

yea they never finished this game

hope bf 2042 doesn't have these problems

[atomic jackal]

dx 12 makes the game unplayable

tbh

at least for me

[storm rune]

yea because like deco said, the game wasn't developed on dx12

[prime jasper]

will my gtx 1070 be even able to run this

[storm rune]

yea it should on low

[pale quartz]

the game? yes

adequately? don't expect it

[latent light]

I feel like Dx12 was added to BF5 because RT and DLSS

[prime jasper]

at least in 1440p thats the only monitor i have

[atomic jackal]

why is there so few games with rt

[storm rune]

because no one needs rt

[atomic jackal]

i feel like i wasted my bucks getting rtx

[pale quartz]

yeah probably not

[storm rune]

it's literally useless

[atomic jackal]

kekw

[pale quartz]

it will not be adequate at 1440p

[storm rune]

i got rtx for the better performance

[pale quartz]

that's a long story

a long story

[atomic jackal]

rtx 3060 ti and 3070 are roughly the same

anyway

[pale quartz]

they arent

[atomic jackal]

in terms of performance

[pale quartz]

no, they arent

[latent light]

In short, RT takes time to implement

[storm rune]

i don't think so

rtx 3070 still outperforms 3060ti

[pale quartz]

"takes time" is probably understating it

[storm rune]

but yea I bought this card in december last year

[latent light]

Ye lol

[pale quartz]

fun fact it actually loses at 4k

[storm rune]

so there weren't even TI version

[storm rune]

3060ti has more vram

[pale quartz]

Nvidia shitty VRAM decisions for you

[storm rune]

I would never play in 4k

[latent light]

RTX 3060 can be faster than the 3060Ti and 3070 in Doom Eternal at 4K and even 1440p ultra settings because 3060 has 12GB

[pale quartz]

the 3070 is a 4k capable card it was gimped by its memory

[storm rune]

yea

idk why they only gave it 8 gb's

[pale quartz]

which is why nobody should get a 3070 and get a 2080ti instead for 4k

[atomic jackal]

idk why non ti has 12

marketing

ig

[latent light]

Because 6GB isnt enough

[pale quartz]

^

[atomic jackal]

but why is ti 8

then

[pale quartz]

because its predecessor the 2080ti has 11GB

[latent light]

192-bit bus can only use 3, 6 or 12GB

[pale quartz]

and Nvidia want money

[honest bison]

will my 3080 get bad fps in bf2042?

[atomic jackal]

oh

[atomic jackal]

no

[pale quartz]

no lol

[atomic jackal]

are you saying this to flex your gpu

because its a really dumb question

[storm rune]

he probably is

[atomic jackal]

😂

[storm rune]

lmao

[honest bison]

[storm rune]

will my rtx 3070 get bad fps in my bf 2042 gold edition????

[honest bison]

i wonder if ultrawide will be supported

[storm rune]

why wouldn't it be lol

[honest bison]

idk

[storm rune]

another flex

[atomic jackal]

will my rtx 3070 get bad fps at bf 5 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥

[latent light]

Nvidia didn't put enough VRAM on most RTX 3000 series

[pale quartz]

it's been supported since battlefield 4..

[honest bison]

will my i9 10850k bottleneck the gpu?

[atomic jackal]

that said

why is non ti

192bit bus

instead of 256

[pale quartz]

your specs aren't even that good tbh if you're trying to flex them lol

[storm rune]

another flex

[honest bison]

xDDD

[pale quartz]

it's not they think it is

just looks weird that's all

[honest bison]

ok i will stop now that was funny

lmfao

[pale quartz]

they can't compete with my 6800xt so idk why they bothered

[storm rune]

im happy with my rtx 3070

maybe i payed a little too much for it

but at least i didn';t pay x2 or x3 times more that it is worth

[river badger]

ok

[river badger]

wen juckts

[honest bison]

unless you compare it to a 3090 and a 5950x, but that way more expensive

[pale quartz]

I have a 5900x gold binned CPU

[storm rune]

3090 isn't even worth for games

[river badger]

okay interessiert keinen

[pale quartz]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[storm rune]

Kannst du Englisch sprechen und nicht Deutsch?

[honest bison]

du bist ein Ei

[plucky token]

low key flex.

[storm rune]

it was just for a joke

i was playing dino

[plucky token]

3080 and ultimate

[storm rune]

dammmmmn

im not that rich

[pale quartz]

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/63249522 notice the top 1% of all benchmark results

[storm rune]

Well I don't even work

[honest bison]

as long as you have fun and get those good fps, thats what matters

[atomic jackal]

what does sam mean

[honest bison]

hopefully bf2042 wont be trashly optimized

[atomic jackal]

it says 5900x(sam)

[storm rune]

yea I hope for that too

[pale quartz]

smart access memory

aka resizeable BAR

[atomic jackal]

so when its both amd

it gets sam?

[honest bison]

the 6800xt performs really good in TimeSpy

[pale quartz]

SAM is AMDs name for resizable BAR

it's the same thing

[pale quartz]

it's a integer clocking machine the 6900xt performs better, a lot, by that too

[atomic jackal]

so how do you activate it

[pale quartz]

have a ryzen 3000/5000 processor and a AMD 6000 series GPU, update the BIOS and enable resizeable BAR

it will auto activate

[atomic jackal]

i do the first but not the latter

kek

[pale quartz]

you can't enable SAM then

[honest bison]

is there any official report saying that DLSS will be released for bf2042?

[pale quartz]

nvidias resizeable BAR is different and will depend on upgrading the vBIOS for the GPU (if you bought it before march 2021) for RTX 30 and is implemented on a per game basis

[pale quartz]

DLSS is confirmed to be in the game, FSR will most likely be present too

[atomic jackal]

i bought my gpu on uh

july

[pale quartz]

might need updating then depends if the vendor did it themselves or not

no way to tell

[honest bison]

dlss is so good tbh

[pale quartz]

eh it's a hit and miss

[honest bison]

amd is great and everything, but with dlsss rtx gpus get way better fps

[pale quartz]

can turn games into a blurry mess it's far from perfect

[honest bison]

it really works with no visual impact almost, I cant tell the difference at all

even at 1440p

[pale quartz]

I used DLSS aswell, you aren't the only one lol

it's results depend on the game

as I said, hit and miss

[honest bison]

yeah some have older versions

like bfv

has dlss v1

[pale quartz]

FSR does that too

even with RT

these aren't simple conclusions you can draw

[honest bison]

FSR is still just being implemented in games since its newer

buts its good too

[pale quartz]

it will more than likely become the defacto choice for game developers on newer titles

just purely down to maintainability

[honest bison]

mhm

[prime jasper]

will my intel pentium with gt 560 run this game on 1080p

[quick locust]

[atomic jackal]

[pale quartz]

simple answer: no

next

[prime jasper]

why no i just bought it

[pale quartz]

because it doesn't meet the minimum specifications for battlefield 2042 or most games released in the last 2 years

lol

[midnight crypt]

very exciting

[green ginkgo]

Did you ask this question un ironically

[solar kestrel]

Im excited to see my GT 1030 break trying to load the game

[midnight crypt]

Your gt 1030 would break the game

Because its too good

[lament flare]

Origin

[pale quartz]

no, none of them are better for "performance"

and don't spam the same question in multiple channels

[midnight crypt]

Should be

[sly bridge]

Can i play BF2042 with 2x gtx970 4Gb?

[cloud solar]

you might be able to

i dont think the game will support sli though

and youll be really limited bc of the vram.

[sly bridge]

I shall try it the 8th of oktober and shall see...fingers crossed..

[cloud solar]

but other than that, the game should at least run, i cant say itll run well but it should work.

[sly bridge]

Ok..I can wait a little longer then, when the prices drop for buying a new v-card

[fallen harbor]

[cloud solar]

i like it tbh

[loud lily]

Thanks for the answer and it's not spam if I realised the quesion belonged in technology instead of general. But I understand.

[quick locust]

Yeah seem alright

Don't think it's very special in cooling as noctua isnt magic

Looks special

[cloud solar]

i like the look

old fashioned + modern and it looks cool

[quick locust]

I wonder if its just 1 3070

[digital hill]

Could be pretty overkill like there rtx 3060 with 3 fans

But seriously could be a great cooling solution since there fans are very well known

[coarse nimbus]

What's the upcharge on that model that you can't buy?

[pale quartz]

given it's noctua fans expect a $100 surcharge just from the fans alone

[quick locust]

Lol

[dry pike]

The Noctua tax is real 😄

[quick locust]

Dawid Does Tech Stuff always say Linux wrong

[coarse nimbus]

Only$50 for each fan? Hm seems low

[wintry prairie]

I like Noctua. I just put 6 of them in my rig.

[quick locust]

I use a D15

They don't make 180mm fans so I can't use them as case fans though

[wintry prairie]

I used them on my rads

[quick locust]

nice

A12x25?

[wintry prairie]

NF-12x25

[quick locust]

I have two 120mm that I don't use

s12a fans

[wintry prairie]

I was going to paint them, but didn't in the end.

[quick locust]

then the NH-D15 fans

[wintry prairie]

Oh, nice

[quick locust]

Case fans are silverstone though since noone makes 180mm

[wintry prairie]

Ah!

I use 120 fans for my case

[quick locust]

Except for the new torrent case? I think that's 180mm

[fallen harbor]

that's a lot of fans

[quick locust]

😛

[wintry prairie]

I have a lot of fans, 😆

[wintry prairie]

NICE! 🙂

I hope you bought stock in Noctua

[quick locust]

It's a meme pc, half of them don't do anything

[wintry prairie]

lol

[quick locust]

I have a bit of noctua

Though I can't fit side panel with both fans on D15

[wintry prairie]

They won't fit on top and bottom in that pic?

[quick locust]

Bottom is 180mm so no

Top is 120mm so I could use a S12a there

But I think it'd be pretty much same as the Silverstone fan currently there

[wintry prairie]

What RTX is that?

[quick locust]

I had metal tubing, but took it all out. I may go with other rigid tubing later, but for now I had the fittings 🙂

[plucky token]

try the frosted ones

[wintry prairie]

Oh yes, I really like those.

[plucky token]

i got those

they bend like a dream

[wintry prairie]

Good to know

[plucky token]

got 1 tube with 4 bends in it

[wintry prairie]

Nice!

[plucky token]

not 100% straight ( was my second ever tube to bend ) but it fits and is leak thight

gonna have to re do it anyway when i get my gpu block

[wintry prairie]

What GPU and Block?

[plucky token]

3080 ftw3 ultra with the evga block or the ek one

depends

[wintry prairie]

Nice! I got the Hydro Copper, so already has the block.

[plucky token]

i cant buy it as single unit....

i even emailed jacob from evga.. no answer

would love to get the evga one since warrenty etc but eh

[wintry prairie]

Good thing with EVGA is that even if you use a third party block, it is still covered by warranty.

[plucky token]

i know. still, i like the looks of the hydro copper one

[wintry prairie]

Same

Ever since the 980ti I have gone with the Hydro Copper versions.

[storm rune]

that's a big mess tbh

Corsair just announced they are doing monitors. That should be quite interesting 🙂

[storm osprey]

i expect more decent to good products that cost more than they should

[proud trellis]

indeed

[dry pike]

I just hope they shake things up a bit and address some of the stupid things most monitors do.

[proud trellis]

i want to compare them really badly with razers moniters

All corsair need now is a motherboard and you could have an entire corsair setup

[proud trellis]

damn

[supple bane]

Case, psu, gpu (water block), ram, cpu cooler, storage, fans, keyboard, mouse, mouse mat, monitor.

Literally an entire setup bar motherboard

[midnight crypt]

Need gpus too

[supple bane]

Yeah i count a gpu water block as that

[proud trellis]

corsair should make their own desks

doubt it would be worth it but yh

[toxic wigeon]

Hey is the Deepcool matrexx a good case for housing a 3080?

[supple bane]

Which one?

[toxic wigeon]

Uhhhh... The 50?

What i'm mostly concerned about is cooling if that's to be concerned about

[pale quartz]

can't wait to turn my room into a RGB rainbow show

[storm osprey]

solid fronts are a no go in general

[toxic wigeon]

What do/would you use?

[dry pike]

It doesn't have RGB

[pale quartz]

if you're looking for a optimal case you can't go wrong with the meshify c, but yeah +1 to the solid front point

[storm osprey]

i have a fractal design define c, which had a solid front panel that i took off when i got my 3080

[pale quartz]

ah yeah was a slide joke at corsairs RGB software

[pale quartz]

coincidence I think not

[storm osprey]

nah, it was fine for my old components, but it being a small case already my temps were pretty toasty

[pale quartz]

only true gamers get the lian li o11 anyways

[molten coral]

pog im a true gamer

[storm osprey]

i like the new mini air, no idea why the o11 mini made you use an sfx psu when they just needed to increase width by an inch

[pale quartz]

I remember seeing that was the oddest choice I've seen in a while

putting the term mini too literally

[storm osprey]

which was odd because it could house a normal atx mb, a large gpu fine, and several rads

its like they only chose to make the psu strictly sff

@toxic wigeon are you wanting a good bang for buck case? do you need fans included or can you buy aftermarket?

(aka arctic p12 because they are bae)

[heady bear]

yo

[toxic wigeon]

Hmm

I'd love fans on the front

More fans are good

[pale quartz]

not necessarily

[toxic wigeon]

How can I tell a case has an open front?

[heady bear]

ok then

[storm osprey]

well you can buy an arctic p12 set of fans fairly cheap

[pale quartz]

there is a, limit to how many fans you actually want
