i did notice that it's only gone up to around 65C with the 4.2 ghz i gave it
do yeah.. i guess there's some headroom left
so*
wish i could do it from ryzen paster without having to restart every time i wanna try something new
master*
damn that's loud
4.3 works fine
Mention, i only have a 650w psu , running a 3070 with the cpu
i do see somewhat of an improvement
and it is quite stable. Thank you
Graphics Card gtx 1660 super gigabyte amd ryzen 5 3600 shutter fps do u have solution fan noise
Buy a better pc
Why
i can barely run the game on 50fps lowest settings, 16gb ram, rtx 2070, ryzen 5 3600. I usually get around 30-45
Me too I have gtx 1660 super
I have a i9-10900k and a 2070 super and I’m getting 80-100 fps
im wondering if my ram is the problem
how much ram u got, and what speed
I got 32gb at 3200mhz
My issue is aiming down the sites
80-100 fps with only 43% of my gpu being used is not bad
aight, i got 16gb 2666mhz so that seems to be my main prob
but cpu usage is at 60+
If I play portal I get over 100fps and the games runs so smooth
cause most portal servers are 64 players
Yea
even on 128 players those maps run smooth
You guys think they are gonna fix the fps issue? In the patch
i mean they kinda have to
i highly doubt it.. they have been kinda radio silent about PC performance...
Ok so for the first two days of release, my performance was completely fine, actually netter than i thought it would be, but on the third day, yesterday, all of a sudden im only getting 30 fps on all low, i looked in my task manager and Battlefield is using 0.1% of my gpu and my cpu is maxed out, but my nvidia performance overlay says that the usage is avg 60%
bruh on my old system i had a ryzen 3 3100 oced to 4.2ghz and a 1650 super and in low i had more than 60 fps most of the time
i wonder if there is some logging taking place that takes up cpu over time
use the Dynamic Res setting under Options/Display
Idk if I have the right channel, but I have problems connecting regarding to error code 15-7A. My internet is running fine. I did full shutdown my console and unplug it, but that didn’t work. I did disable crossplay but didn’t work as well. Are servers down or something?

Maybe try unlock the power limit etc if ur not ocing. If u have good cooling that is.
How do I do that? I have not overclocked anything, I got great cooling
Bios settings
Would you be interested in giving me a hand with that?
im not the best computer geek out there lol
hey
Thinking of selling my 3080 for an egregious amount of money and profiteering off of it with little regard to the ethical implications.


you are a bad person
and scalped it
not as bad as scalpers per se, but i still don't like people that do that
atleast im not using bots
take a small profit of 600-650$ and help somebody out
and buying everything that goes on stock right away
So do you guys think optimization will get any better or is this basically as optimized it will get for this game
It can get better I suppose, but maybe after 6 months to a year. That's how long it took to patch the performance issues in BFV anyway.
Oh okay damn lol
anyone knows where to post in game issues?
#battlefield-2042 only unfortunately
ah ok thanks fam!
3080's are rare

It's just Battlefield being battlefield lmfao
performance seems to be very inconsistent
its funny the first time i launched the beta it blew my surge protector
how bout cpu
50-70%
yeah id say its just battlefield and its wonderful optimization
hopefully they fix it
idk i'll try to fix it later
Even when enabled dx12, i'm still using cpu 60-70% and gpu 50-55% no matter the settings. Game still needs to be optimized
yea it needs
yeah my cpu usage is very high
That's good
it was actually maxing out my ram so i bought more ram, turns out my prebuilt motherboard wasnt compatible (thanks alienware) so i literally rebuilt my pc today lmao

its running whatever i guess its super inconsistent but im gonna put the blame on the game
yeah its not very polite
it was working just fine
like you can see on the video
now it's a stuttery mess

The game is running just fine for me after dx12 set to 1. But no matter the settings, i never get past 100fps
yeah i dont think 100s gonna happen for me lmao
i dont even know what framerate im running at
im kinda stingy about graphics so
Optimization needs fixed. Driving a tank is horrible and feels like I'm running slow.
Imagine how hot and loud that thing would've been
Would have been interesting but a large die
And big too
cooling situation would have been insane too
big.LITTLE would make more sense having 8+8
Yeah, but that'd be much later than ps5
developer moment
also i should probably not be putting this here but does anyone wanna help me test my netcode for my game. Currently trying to get steam transport to work rn
okay, found a way to stabilize the performance and get a bit more out of the game. Turn everything to low except antialiasing. You can leave that to ultra. Oc your CPU as much as you can and disable dlss as it does absolutely nothing. Also, make sure xmp is enabled. It's not much, but it will make the performance overall a bit more consistent without stuttering and above 70 fps most of the times
there's nothing to upgrade. Any other game apart from this one runs flawlessly with all settings on ultra. I'm not gonna buy a cpu just because dice decided so
specs?
r53600/rtx3070/16gbram 3200mhz
well tbf you’re limiting performance a bit with that cpu anyway on any game
perhaps, but it's not bottlenecking the gpu
guys please help
whenever i launch my battlefield
it crashes on 40 seconds into startup
im launching from origin)
@supple bane Definitely cooling my VRM's (5.0ghz), normally it would be around 100c in this scenario
is 50fps with an i5-9600k, with dips to 40 a decent performance. I have an rtx 207 playing at all low 1080p
Whats your ram?
16GB 3000mhz
Then its normal
what a shittilty optimised game for a $1300+ system then
a pc back in the 90s would cost thousands and thousands, doesnt mean its fast
my point is your hardware isnt brand new
and this game is truly next gen
It is not no but other games releasing this year such as vanguard i get 160fps+ not really a reason to have this game perform so much worse
i know cod is a lot less intensive
but at least igmme 80 fps
vanguard isnt 128 players
i predicted all of this
i knew that 2042 was gonna be unreasonably cpu demanding

i like the idea but they need to add 64 player servers too. In portal i can reach 80 fps on occasions because of low player coutns
We do really need conquest small
I have the same specs.. its Yeah hard to get over 30-40fps.
My problem is that my cpu maxes but my gpu hovers at around 50%. bottleneck.com says its a 4% bottleneck but clearly not
i have the same gpu but with a slightly slower cpu and get roughly the same
dont rely on those websites
utter horse poo
in games like forza it seems right though gpu and cpu nearly maxed
in something like rdr2, you would have a 0% cpu bottleneck, in 2042 its a 100% bottleneck
its just different games
you cant look at a system and say "x percentage bottleneck" because thats just not how loads work
This is the only game that don't support my gtx 970
I guess they just need to patch the game to rely less on the cpu
and usually 80-90% cpu usage, but that will be down to me having 12 threads whereas you have 6
Same. Only 40-50% .. cpu 100% 😅
but inlucidng other programs 100%
yep, cuz its only 6 threads
On some 128 player maps i get consistent 60fps, on others i struggle to get 50
would buying an i7-9700k help much
it would give an improvement for sure. but dont buy a 9700k now
its 3 generations old
I dont want to have to buy a new motherboard if i dont have to
Dont buy new specs for a BF game 😅
well the extra 200 bucks for a new motherboard will mean you wont have to spend any more for like 5 more years
buy a 9700k and youll need to upgrade again soon
do the 10th/11th gen i5s have hyperthreading?
yes
but 12th gen
there is 0 point buying a last gen cpu
same money for less performance generally
i cant imagine it being any more than 30 pounds more
its a tiny bit cheaper for a large drop in performance
when does 12th gen release
it released weeks ago :P
z690
you can get a 12600kf for the same price as an 11600k
and that will get you a nice 20%? performance
is it a good pair for an rtx 2070?
probably overkill. but again, why spend the same money for an older cpu
i also have a 2070 and planning on upgrading to a 12600k
but not till after new years
is there a known date for when the new cpus come out btw ?
the new cpus as in?
12th gen
they have been out for weeks
They launched at 4th this month
oh ffs
ryzen 6/7000 will be coming soon too
Intel users
Isnt the intel CPU's better then Ryzen CPU's this year though or do we not know ?
i want to upgrade my pc probs around may time which is my birthday
currently intel holds the gaming crown
but next generation ryzen could change that
currently a 12600k is on par with a ryzen 7 5800x
oh damn
and the 12900k handily beating the 5950x
see idk if i want to go with a i5/R5 or an i7/r7
Never would have thought i would get this close to 100% gpu usage in this game 
71 percent cpu?
damn
That air cooler is the best thing i could have bought 😛
In breaktrough it goes to like 90
This was with AI only tho
I get around 80-90 fps in breaktrough at the flag
it is better
but you have to upgrade motherboard and sometimes coolers almost every generation on intel
😔
thats bullshit
too much crap
wow and that much usage?
i think my alptops gonna expldoe
did u have it on like high
1440p
or what
dlss?
Max no dlss
cpu bottleneck?
Multiplayer
I have HT off btw, forgot to mention that
For some reason with HT it shows only like 50-60%
yep
Temps same etc...
Did some research and if you have 6+ cores you might see performance improvement with HT off
1080p
wait wtf is ht
hyperthreading
Hyperthreading
Mhm i am happy 😛
In bios, if you have 4c i suggest you keep it on tbh
6 core
but im
on
laptop
Probably can't do anything in that bios 
whats the technical explanantion on why hyperthreading lowers performance on 6+cpu cores?
Google is your friend but i'll find one of those articles i read, give me a moment
@twilit quiver I can't seem to find the spesific article i was thinking about but you should find some benchmarks on google. One game i remember that was tested was fortnite and it was the only game that got a performance loss with HT off
Nah you don't need to turn HT off. I'm pushing 130-170 without doing "optimization" like tweaking saved profile turning off HT. Just good ole fashion overclock.
I've also help tuned a 9700k and a 9900k here. They have similar fps, 9900k is actually abit higher with similar clock speed. Thats 8 core 8 threads no hyperthreading vs 8 core 16 threads with.
Depends. Out of the box Zen3 beats intel 10th gen in gaming. Manually overclocked cpu and ram Zen3 barely matches intel 10th gen. Intel 11th gen is sht and Intel 12th gen curbstomp both 10th gen and zen 3 out of the box or tuned.
I would suggest 12th gen intel 12700k cause 8P cores. Go with a DDR4 z690 mobo and some 3600 cl16 ram. DDR5 is cool but it's too early and loses to DDR4 most of the time for now. It will be a year or two when DDR5 beats DDR4 in gaming when it matures. Also DDR5 availability rn is 🥲
Can you play as the Russians in solo/Co-op mode?
i already have some ram which is 2x8 3200Mhz
btw what is cl16 ?
Cas latency 16 you usually want the higher ram speed with lower Cas latency for example 3200 cl14 ram beats a 3600 CL18 in games usually.
ohh ok
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hGm3Vc everything in this list apart from the PSU and case i have in my pc rn minus the GPU, CPU and motherboard as i will be upgrading them
wow wtf i have cl22 3200
Oof. Sorry about ur 2042 fps.
😢
i also dont know if i will have to change my CPU cooler once i get a new CPU, i could always wait and see the temps before i do upgrade but i think a 120mm rad in a big lian li case will look kind of stupid anyway
I don't think a 120mm aio can handle 12th gen.
ahhhh
i might try and get a 360mm radiator to go along the top then if i can
do NZXT have decent performing coolers ?
yeah
happy with my AIO
served me well for around 4 years now
no failures so far
and temps are ok
Dont know about the newest gen tho
I would guess they arent worse than the older gen
my game crashes when I enter a game
because i dont have drivers
I installed it but I keep getting the same error.
The most recent Geforce driver I have is the one from 11/16/2021.
what is HT?
hyper threading
thx
For all of you playing on PCs, we want to acknowledge that many of you are finding that performance of the game is presently CPU bound, and not enough of you who are fortunate enough to enjoy high end GPUs and CPUs are seeing the benefit of consistent, high frame rates. Identifying engine level optimisations and developing solutions will require a lengthier response time from us so that it gets done right. Short term, we’ll be doing all we can to help offer performance improvements that reduce the load, and up your frame rates where possible. We’ll keep you updated on our work through our Battlefield channels.
From battlefield facebook... atleast its something
When are they gonna fix this error? I’m still getting 15-7A. If it isn’t just me, then it has to be the game itself, not my console.
And it’s not on my end.
for the link i posted? different times they will be added but the soonest is in 2 days iirc
No im saying for the PC fix
for FPS
level optimisations and developing solutions will require a lengthier response time from us so that it gets done right
oh, ehh im really curious to how they "fix" this. im in the camp that thinks the performance it gets right now is already kind of impressive considering how much is going on in a match.
theory is that the way its optimized now benefits cpus and lower end system, while if they let it scale off hardware people will get better performance on the high end, but it would be even more so unplayable with lower end systems
They did say there are some fixes for stuttering, rendering and optimization issues in Update 3 which I hope will solve a lot of the performance issues
Anyone know when are they gonna fix it?
I'm still having trouble logging in.
how is it my computer does more work on the menu screen than in the actual game 😭
Depth of Field in the main menu is somehow resource intensive lmfao.
What can i do to get better frames without making the game look like complete trash? Im running most things on medium except for textures which i have on ultra
still only getting around 80-100 usually and those settings are low so idk what to do
That's a great take, after watching hardware unboxed series on 2042 I feel the same way. Pretty impressive what they can do optimizing across so many platforms
No one isn't gonna help me?
Nothing really, you just have to wait for the next patches to drop and see how they improve your performance then. Rn the performance is just all over the place
idk what a 15-7A is sorry im dumb
hoping for the best
It's some issue that everyone is having trouble logging in.
I'm not the only one.
are you on console?
Yes.
which one
And it's not my console, it has to be the game. I tried turning off my console then unplug my console and plug it back in, but that didn't work.
Xbox Series X.
are you using a wired connection or wifi?
Not my internet either. It's running fine.
So it has to be Battlefield 2042 having these bug error.
Reach out to ea support
Latest news update blaming cpu bottleneck for poor performance on high end machines is BS. My cpu sits around 50% usage while my rtx 3080 graphics cards sits between 50 & 60% usage with a temperature of 60° 😞
Hello
What? That sounds good, I’m at 100% cpu and 3% gpu usage. With a 1080
Are you mining and playing at the same time
Dont
Do u have solution fixed problem fps
Stop mining
Not good. I should be getting much higher fps and gpu usage should be around 98% usage
how do i get to at least 20% cpu usage
i keep getting 50/50 or 60/40 gpu:cpu usage
i have a ryzen 9 5900x
Jam ur settings up
@twilit quiver like max them out?
Yeah
So nvidia released NIS
Nvidia image scaling
And I can apparently use it in any game
It’s just in nvidia control
But I heard people say that it doesn’t work for a laptop without mux switch or advanced optimus either that or u have to connect to an external monitor
Can I like bypass that or smrh
Unlikely
anyone have any suggestions for freezing every 30 seconds or so on pc
im running a 5600x and a 6gb rtx 2060
getting like 140 fps at 1080p but it will freeze every 30 seconds or so
Reboot ur pc
@twilit quiver Ive done that a ew times today and it hasnt helped
Did u repair files
yeah i completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game
Change the settings?
yeah im running low and medium settings
what cpu
Try update mobo bios with a USB drive, don't forget the re enable xmp afterwards
Thanks👍!

How the heck are you getting 140 lol
thats prob why it freezes every 30 seconds
plus dx12 stutters
they happen
somewhat surprised the game isnt crashing for u
bfv would crash if you tried overclocking
that game hates any kind of oc
your cpu is solid
It’s running on a clean nvme drive
16gb ram at 3600
Like I have no clue what the issue could be
Hmmm. Yeah I don't use ryzen master haha, best way is to use bios and do some PBO2
Also 3.85ghz sounds very low for 5600X stock should clock higher
have u tried not overclocking and seeing if it still crashes
and is ur ram maxing out at all?
on pc? where are you installing it from (steam, ea, epic etc?)
hey i got the issue you were talking about earlier, but on pc i think. when i tried joining a game it gave me the error. i backed out and tried another game mode and it worked
What are CCDs again?
Core complex dies
Currently each can have 8 cores in 8 ccds
64 cores
But 12 ccds would allow for 96 cores if it's the same core per ccd
You see the top 2 dies? Those are ccds and can have 8 cores each
So AMD is upping their core count game again. That's interesting, maybe their next x600 budget CPU will be an 8 core instead of 6? 👀
Desktop ryzen has 1 to 2 , epyc and TR has 8 (zen 2 and later)
Maybe, who knows
But they might do a 96 core TR or Epyc
(And some lower due to defects and fusing off cores, like with 5900X compared to 5950X)
did servers go down? started getting the persistent data error all of a sudden
i mean i havent seen that error since the early access week
and now i simply can't find a single game
Hey, lately I've been thinking about buying a laptop which I could take to my college. I've been looking at hp's and dell's and I wanted to ask you, what would be the better option? I can buy a hp laptop with r7 5700u/16gb ram/512gb ssd cheaper than dell with r5 5500u/16gb/512gb and that's a bummer for dell
5700u for sure. Better processor.
Ok, thanks
Is it worth it to switch to a b550 Mb with a b450 MB with a 5600x and a 3070?
What are you looking for in a B550 mb?
I dont know 😅 small more fps ? ...black friday 😅
u will get about 0 more fps by switch.
not true actually
there is a tiny performance delta increase from going to b550
it isn't worth the cost though
Don't B550 motherboards have that feature wherein the CPU can directly access the GPUs memory? Since the guy here has a 5600X and a 3070, it may be a better MB in the long run.
it's 2% in terms of average framerate, so it is measurable
not really worth to switch from B450 to B550 for gaming use
no this is on b450 boards too
it isn't exclusive to b550
Oh that's good actually. Lessens the need for MB upgrade.
oh smart acess memory
turn on ur pbo2
just remember to update bios for zen 3 support
Ok thanks, i stay with b450. I have a b450 pro4 from AsRock with bios 5.0
for 5600X I recommend 150 tdp, 130edc and tdc. -20 all core negative offset on curve optimizer and +200mhz boost
u can try -30 all core neg but u need testing and see if u crash after a week
the 5 5600X I tested all did -30 all core but I say -20 just in case
Ok, thanks @prisma anvil i will test it
make sure ur cpu cooler can handle 150 watt tdp check ur temps
oh I forgot scalar 1x for prolong cpu life
I think then i need a new one, have a noctua u12s 😅
Nah ur good.
Unless u have clapped thermal paste u12s can handle it. U can lower ur tdp to 120 if u want in pbo2
Ok, thanks !

its crazy how aggressive people get because HUB gave their opinion on why things run the way they run
Haha fr I’m not gonna pretend to be an expert on game development and having someone who understands hardware explaining optimization has helped a lot
yea its insane how ignorant people are yet talk like they know something, i posted the video in 2042 chat and i bet hardly anyone clicked it, and no one watched it completely
they cant even put 10 minutes into a video to get a better understanding, but will say optimization is bad as a fact
People want to be angry I guess 🤷♂️
completely unrelated to battlefield but does anyone know any good headsets with mics around 200$?
for pc? console?
usd? wired or wireless? does it HAVE to be a headset or can it be a headphone with a modmic/desktop mic?
erm 200 usd pc id like wireless but im fine with wired and if theres a good combo of mic / headphones under 200 why not\
are these for gaming and media like music and movies? or JUST gaming?
definitely gaming and media
i was thinking abt the logitech g pro x but every review ive seen has been negative
i generally stay away from most gaming headsets
the only "gaming" products i buy are mice
if youre fine with a desktop mic, i would pick up a fifine k669, and dt 880
theres the dt770 and dt990 which are also popular, but the high ends can be a bit aggressive and prone to giving people headaches, so i dont recommend those
Wish I knew what I did wrong that my game became stuttery
reinstalling it doesn't even help

maybe its just making shaders?
try to deleted the cache folder under documents/bf2042
I got called a bich and a shill when I said I can push 130-170+ fps and offered to stream them.
people are just unjustifiably angry about anything to do with 2042
quick video covering the best black friday 2021 deals for gaming mice that I've seen. if anything big changes, or new products go on sale, ill be sure to update the description!
LINKS TO SALES BELOW (i have reviews posted for every mouse)
Lowest prices for TONS of mice, shipping is around $20 to the US though
https://us.maxgaming.com/us/black-f...
In what way?
it wasnt stuttery before it became stuttery and it was before the reinstall
i think i did that before if became stuttery
but it wasnt from the beggining
it was working just fine since 12'th
People want to be mad at anyone who has anything nice to say about 2042
not even nice, you say anything neutral and people act like you killed their dog
can rx 5500 xt and ryzen 7 2700 run bf2042 ok?
game is heavily cpu bound, i think youd at least get 60 fps with low settings with your hardware
alr ty
same graph for 1440?
Battlefield 2042 and a 1050TI + i3 8100. Anyone got experience with this? Does it run 'smoothly' enough to play the game?
highly doubt it
even if it was, i wouldnt buy that
its basically only to have some basic display output
has 2042 gotten any better?
uhhh, official launch patch improved the performance, balance and other QoL changes are coming tomorrow
oh weird I still have like 90% of the issues in the launch patch, didnt even know they pushed
like the first match of the day XP bug, (which was also present verbatim in swbf2)
My gpu is repaired!!!
There are still a decent amount of bugs, there is a patch coming tomorrow thats supposed to help and then another patch over the next couple of weeks
Anyone know if this error message is common; DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (RX6900xt). Game crashes randomly with this error. Says "the gpu will not respond to more commands"
perhaps ddu the driver (you can google how to us ddu in safe mode) and install latest one?

Woah that's pretty good
If there is not a lot on screen, its more like 165

With a lot going on in the action, closer to 125

Dunning-Kruger curve eh?
Look at the graph, the 8350K is literally unplayable, so no, your 4c/4t i3 won't cut it

Just on tsmc
aka way better
can Xbox 1 play with PC on 2042?
yes
no
changed my 3700x to 5900x bad or good? for 3080ti
bad
I think it's pretty good.
Zen3 IPC and clock speed wise is just sooo much better than zen2
At 1080p the difference in average framerate between Ryzen 3000 and 5000 series is usually around 20-25%, at 1440p around 10%
Upgraded from a 9700K to a 12700KF yesterday, the minimum FPS difference is huge 😮
nice
Large jump 🙂
Enjoy
It's telling me to update my nvidia geforce driver but it's alrady up to date
If the Switch Lite is for sale on Black Friday for 160€ at my local store, is it worth it if i already have a regular one (its the bdsp special edition)
Game runs better after the update today?
anybody else the games tells them to restart the game for update after you already updated it?
yea it is but i tryed everything but its still here
have you gone into the config and disabled it there?
no
try that
oka thx
uh guys
i got a question
the server in the company where I work is plugged into one of these
and this is plugged into ANOTHER of those
and that other one is plugged into ANOTHER
its like 4 in total before going to the wall
is it dangerous? yes absolutely
yeah thats what i was gonna ask
should it be done? no, will they get fined if they're caught yes
there are other computers and UPS connected into those as well
the UPS are all dead
yeah... fire hazard 101 lol
I dunno fire rules there
But here it's 8 devices per socket iirc
Wall socket that is
let me put it like this
the server dies often and stuff and i found out about all of this last week and I told my employer that this is mindblowing to me because it looks unsafe and uneffective as hell but he didnt agree with me and said its ok
and blames the users for the performance
one dumbfuck at our school plugged 3 waffle irons into one, fried all the fuses and killed the entire power for the whole building
Lol
but this was 10 years ago, might have gotten better
no but seriously, chaining them is bad but if you get a decent one you can plug a few things in, i have a 5950X/3080ti PC, 3 Monitors and a mixer plugged into one and never had any issues
really depends on the ammount of devices and how much power they need
extenders themselves are fine, chaining them is a absolute no go and a massive fire hazard
also, get a decent one with overcurrent protection and not the shitty ones from the dollar store
my parrents have a few of those and those mafaggers keep dying constantly
those UPSs are a hazard
too
actually nvm theyre usually not lithium for servers
how do i convince my employer that the server and UPS will always malfunction as long as everything is plugged this way?
still should get replaced though
also, how long does a UPS usually live under correct circumstances?
for servers i have no idea
And temperature
this bitch survived a lightningstrike that fried some other things in our house like a chad
tell him it will be expensive to replace everything when it eventually gets fried
true that
there are a few things you shouldnt cheap out on
PSUs, UPSs and Power Bars
I uhh
Use 3 extension cords for my pc
Since the grounded wall socket is so far away

At least I don't run whole servers on it
get a good quality one with more outlets and a longer cable
reading 3 makes me get goosebumps
it's already about 30 m
with the 3 cords
i dont have that much plugged in though
about 1200W full load on the devices I think combined
which I never reach
it's not the outlet count i need 3 for, it's the range
2 of them have nothing plugged in
just plug 3 waffle irons into it 
i dont even know how much power by pc draws
omg yes this is exactly what i thought
I've not used a proper meter, so just estimates
i just know i use as much power as a 2 person household in my 2 room apartment just cause of the pc 
on a regular computer
i meant type of UPS (lead, lithium)
and temperature of it
matters a lot in how long it'll last
me too probably
My printer uses more than my PC, but that's only short loads
my heating bill is literally 0
i physically turned off the fuse for me heating cause i dont need it
5950x has my apartment at 22° during winter
i have radiators so they just regulate themselves with thermostat after the room temp
so doesn't matter how much my pc heats, I don't have to turn down/up on them
Hey guys, i have a 144hz main screen and a 60hz second monitor, does it improve fps to shut the second off when im gaming?
no
I need to figure out why DLSS causes lower frames for me in 2042. Makes no sense.
why do i get only 40-50fps ??
Well DLSS is only useful if GPU at 100%. 2042 requires a lot of CPU so you won't get extra fps
I actively loose FPS. Neither CPU or GPU is fully utilized
When I turned of ht on my CPU, CPU usage became higher. Usually it would stay around 50% with ht on. Tbh your best bet is to increase CPU frequency then you might see GPU usage go up
Also to add in many cases if you have 6c+ you might as well leave ht off
to be expected
DLSS is only useful for gaining framerates when you are GPU bound, there can be regressions when the upscaler is having to wait on CPU executions, which is why the myth usual folk had around DLSS being a free frame rate increase were always false
They just updated and changed dlss in todays update
overclocking wont actually change much if anything
In 2042
128p do require a decent amount of cpu
Lol why?
its purely a IPC limitation, which to even try and overcoming that youre pushing 500mhz more on the core as a default for any meaningful change

But the real question is with how many cores? 😋
6
Nice
Could get a newer cpu later
That do be good
But it's been running 2042 well
Have you tried tho?
Does your GPU go to 100% 
i have a 5900x, clock speeds have been redundant to performance for a couple years now
games no longer linearly scale with clock speeds like they used to
So if i down clock my CPU to stock clock i won't notice performance drop?
In terms of GPU usage
not sure what youre asking, you will see a reduction in GPU usage, because GPU usage =/= framerate
Well yes ofc. If CPU to slow you might not see 100% to GPU usage 😉
no, it has always been a false myth that utilisation is a indication of performance
100% utilisation on the GPU is bad, you do not want that whatsoever
So you are saying if 100% i can still potentially get more fps out of my system?
technically? yes, practically? depends what youre talking about by performance
100% GPU your system can't work harder to give you more fps
GPU utilisation is an indicator of load, it is not an indication of how many frames are being rendered, because the equation behind what framerate is, as most things are, are far more complicated than just one graph on a screen
of course it can - because what you are saying is wrong
i think you dont understand how framerate calculations actually work
Tbh i don't understand much so I'll just go now
fair
Thing is i increased my GPU usage by overclocking.
in practical terms
Runs 2042 pretty well despite its age
youre 300 above stock rather than 700
Not really any headroom left. Have to wait for optimizations which will take time.
managed to push my 5900x to 5.2GHz on the single core but thermals were, well, not practical, so just locked it to 5.05
Does todays update change anything for you
Since they changed around with dlss
Just came home so no time to check.
I would have gone ryzen if I bought my parts later I think @pale quartz
Though now I kind of want alder lake
:P
messing with zen+ was well, interesting because of how unstable it was
Notes didn't mention DLSS
Yeah it does
https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-2 tell me where
The steam post is a bit longer
Only ryzen I have is zen+ with 3700U
a bit is an understatement, its massive compared to the base patch notes
yeah odd one
Rip. Tbh they seem to have pushed a lot of CPU optimisation tho considering 128p. One really noticable thing is pausing of non priority animations "enemies not in direct view"
though, glad they did actually
They didn't post the update 2 notes to Steam. I will poke them about it.
So their part 2 post is about update 3 changelog and their part 3 post will be update 2 changelog

I poked EA about the update #2 on Steam. It's in the news tab but not the game tile for some reason https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1517290 - I suggested they add it to the game hub too.
Update #2 do be good 
11 minutes ago
Noticed that too 🙂
So wasn't up when I looked :P
But yeah anyway
Hope they improve dlss a bit in update 3 then
i hope someone can help me! i downloaded battlefield 2042 on pc from origin and i wanna play with ps4 controller but it does weird things like X is on battlefield r2 or something weird button layout
game still runs like dogshit going to play ww3 until dice pulls their head out of their asses
Have you seen how much the optimised the game tho? In terms of CPU usage*
I can barley hold a stable 60 fps with rtx 3070 ryzen 5600x my series x runs this shit better sad.
I run at 70-80 ish with an old man 8700K
At 1440
Pretty stable performance wise
Steam Proton with NVIDIA DLSS After experimental support with Proton 6.3-7, Valve is making NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) officially available with Proton 6.3-8. 2021 will be remembered for two reasons, ridiculously overpriced GPUs and the rise of super-resolution technology among three GPU vendors. After a successful launch of AMD...
Now just need dice to enable eac for Proton
a ryzen 3700U could be cool to have in a NAS
Quite a lot faster than my AL-314 and still uses 10W or less.
turned off the stupid 80% used warning for the volume
it's just 80% allocated, not used, but it still warns
Even though the rest is dedicated for snapshots
w/e
anyone else efven getting less fps now since the update ?
ive downloaded ds4windows and my controller wont respond on battlefield 2042
i've never seen a game with such bad reviews. wtf happened?
guys i have blackscreen and disappear launching game who know fix please help me guys ! i update all drivers
I wonder why fawzi left, dunno what everyone sees wrong with the game. The nerve of some people
People leave companies, especially at the end of projects and when there's a lack of people like now. But don't worry, some things never leave.
it only works through steam
can someone help me with some issues in having?
Windows thinks im tabbed out of the game when im actually tabbed in and vice versa. So when im tabbed out, my gpu and cpu are putting a lot of power into running the game, but when I try and tab in my cpu and gpu dip like 30%
when will there be a penguin skin
for bf2042
do you have any news
I can only lobby so hard, at some point you just have to wait
Any news on what to do for the "Persistence Data" issue on Steam? Even after updating the game, I'm still getting the error.
I cant find a direct response on google but I'm on pc and I have a friend on ps5 would we be able to make a party together and join a game?
For bf2042 ofc
Thx

i have 2070 and i9400f, should i really not be able to run this game over 60 fps in 64 v 64??
I saw the same 15:600P-7A error since update #2, can't login ever since. 😩 I play 2042 on Xbox and PC.
disabel cross play
and restart the game
typo
Dears, I have an issue with logging in. Error code: 15: -7A
I have a issue in trying to launch the game
I've been trying to launch battlefield 2042 and origin keeps asking me to put in the product code
(no I don't have my steam account linked to my E.A. account and its been saying that my credentials are old and that I should reset my password, I've done so and it keeps saying the same thing no matter what I do)
Same
link your accounts
i just said i tried
I meant I tried already and that's why it says my credentials are old*
That's the thing. It won't let me go into options to do anything. I'm stuck on the warship loading screen.
try to delete the bf2042 folder under documents then
if you re on pc ofc
Yeah I am
then try that
having mic issues on ps4, help
give up
Go to origin not the EA client and verify game intergrity fixed mine
its funny playing hazardzone with my friends we had a good round all from all the game crashed that patch today fixed everything
also the game crashed from all my mates
yo . i have a question. i get very often this yellow window icon ingame , i googled it and it means low fps warning , everytime i get it ppl start lagging around , its so often i cant win any closerange fights , is there any fix ? Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz Nvidia gtx 1080
does the servers works?
Hey
how do i increase my fps when my settings are all low
close chrome
close all background programs
you increase your CPU and RAM speed
Your video card is literally on the borderline of the Minimum Requirements lol what do you expect?
**On my vehicle gunner my aim is inverted (up is down, down is up) but in my settings it’s not… how do I fix??? Soldier itself is normal
IM ON XBOX **
Has anyone had issues with geforce experience freezing and not letting me apply filters?
Like the mouse sticks in the middle of the screen.
Finally was able to get my game to run after trying a fix per night for the past week; the game would always bring up the anti-cheat, transition to a solid black 1280x720 screen and crash to desktop with error being directx12 related...
Downloaded 16 gb of LED Gaming RAM running @ 4000 and CAS 16
Is it worth it to buy the additional XMP profile?
Anyone still getting low gpu util with dx12 on?
My "15:-7A" problem was solved after waiting for a few hours, I am pretty sure it was a server side problem because I didn't do anything. There is no way to work around it and no info on the EA website about this problem. "15:-7A": A common bug on PS5 and Xbox that when a player try to open the game it gives you 15:-7A error at the warship screen and stops there.
yeah im having the 15-7a errors and cant load in
Is there a key bind for descending?
DirectX function"GetDeviceRemoveReason" failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG("the GPU will not respond to more commands"). GPU:"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090", Driver: 49676. This error is usually cause by the graphics driver crashing; try installing the latest drivers.
anyone had this problem before?
my graphics driver is the newest BTW.
@vast mica that happens to me alot
i havent found the solution to random crashing but it rare now but still happens time to time
Try a ddu and reinstall ur drivers. If that didn't work try downclock ur gpu by 30 mhz
Wow! 4000 series gpus! Cant wait to get my hands on one when the 8000 series gpus are out!
Does anyone know why my gpu only runs at 30%
anyone else having trouble trying to add friends on console?
Infinity Cache is literally just the same 4MB L3 slab placed everywhere, even across other dies. Fantastic stuff
the $ sign seems very appropriate there too 
Any ideas for a cooler for 5600x? I dont want to deal with water so Imma go with fans
am i doing somthing wrong with my seetting cuz i be getting the same fps on ultra that im getting on low
you're not gpu limited
also i feel like a 3080 should be able to do more then 70-90 fps
which cpu
5800x
yeah i was looking around and i saw a guy with a 3080 and he was getting the same as a 2060
so i have just been assuming its the games current state lol
seems like the game doesnt run too well on ryzen
3080ti and 5950x here and im getting about the same on 1440p ultra
praying for a fix soon then i guess
cooler master hyper 212 evo v2?
Thats probably the most famous mid end air cooler there is
Yeah Im probably going to buy it now
wont do you wrong thats for sure
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooler-Master-RR-V8VC-16PR-R1-performance-heatpipes/dp/B00E0EXYDC this is the cooler that always used to make me laugh
The Cooler Master V8 GTS is the latest addition to Cooler Masters famous V-series of Performance Heatsink featuring a powerful car engine look. The V8 GTS features a high performance horizontal vapor chamber. It spreads heat up to 8x faster than Heatpipes which minimizes CPU hotspots and quickly ...
looks like a god damn transformer
however... this has to be the most confusing review iv read for a cpu cooler 😂
im getting the same with a 8700K
with a 2080 ti
actually looks like a transformer + an amazing cooler too
i would have done some benchmarking with my old 9700k 2080ti machine but the 2080ti broke so f
9700k does around 100
What's ur ram and game setting?
I think at 1440p ultra u are gpu limited probability.
according to nvidia performance overlay it barely scratches 70% GPU useage
Cause I get less fps going from 1080p high to 1080p ultra
3080ti
Try turn on ur pbo2
noctua u12 and if you want to overclock a lot go with the nh d15
i used the noctua nh d15 for a lot of time and its very good also it cools the vrms due to the airflow
or even a normal cooler will do fine with a 5600x ... if you dont overclock it too much
Im going with hyper 212 evo v2. Simple, cheap and good. Just gonna use for casual gaming.
212 can handle max pbo, - 30 curve optimizer and +200mhz boost
Just get decent thermal paste
indeed
i mean they re all basically the same just dont get the cheapest ones thats probably the worst
thermalgrizzly krynaut or noctua nt h2 are imo the best ones
Nah too expensive. Artic mx5 can handle it np.
or even artic mx4/mx5 are very good
my fav one is noctua nt h2 since it lasts forver and its very very easy to spread
I use krynaut cause my 10850k draw up to 250+W
thermal grizzly krynaut is the best for thermals but doesnt last as much
😅
yeah the thermal grizzly one is more for overclockers than normal use
Liquid metal aye
Hi everyone, I am new here, and maybe I didn't found right now the past discussion. But I have a question : I have a PS5 and BF2042, that I would like to play with Mouse & Keyboard... I know it should works, becouse a friend of mine is using them on his PS5! Question, anyone know why is it not working on my console? (ps. the console recongnise the keyboard, but i cannot use it in the game) . Thanks for your attention, BR Delfan9
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2hKMbTtScQ guys who know fix this ?? plz
yeah aint that the liquid metal stuff, thats also messy af and you have to be super careful with not to over do
They use gallium not mercury
But yeah gallium can be messy
Battlefield doesnt have K&B support for consoles right now
damn 😦 i hope also in an update soon- but many thanks for your time ❤️
bf2042 has no support for mouse and keyboard on console idk how your friend is using them
for now at least
maybe they ll add support in the future
there actually exists a device that you plug into your console that emulates gamepad movement using kb/m
perhaps they are using one of those
but that is basically a cheat
and some games ban you bcs you still have aim assist with it
mmm i will wait, and hope, for a soon update to use KB/M with PS5 ❤️
im guessing this game is bad with only 8gb ram?
luckily i have 16gb coming for my gaming laptop so all is good lmao
depends ... some people enjoy 30 fps but anyway 16 gbs is better always
im getting a kit of 2x16 gb kingston fury impact cl15 2666mhz ram
also 8gb is minimum
to play the game
Ahm. Laptop ram?
yeah thats what im buying for my laptop
2666 cl15 still sounds pretty slow.
2666mhz is max supported until 9th gen intel
without xmp wich most laptops dont have
Oh. Oof.
an cl15 is basically as low as you can get ... i think you can find cl14 or 13 but only for desktop
Welp better than jedec 2666 cl19
i mean my cpu i7 8750h supports max 2666mhz so yeah
also lower cl the better
cl=cas latency btw
on my desktop im using 4600 mhz 16-17-18-36 (iirc) at 1.35v
yeah i dont remember the timings tbh
What frequency? 
oh well tbh i havent overclocked my ram in a while so idk
Only 5.1ghz all core 4.8ghz ring test is aida64 fpu only.
i get about 140 ish with 5.0 i9 9900k
Which test?
cinebench r20
That's pretty good. Good silicone lottery
think that is like avx 
Yeah r20 is pretty hard to run.
at 1.3v tho
i do about 200 watts with i9 9900ks 5.1 all core
I'd use that to call gaming stable and r23
it goes down a bit underload
on prime95 or cinebench r23
That's decent silicone lottery congrats.
10850k are rejected 10900k so I need 1.39v
🥲
Vdroop down to 1.35v
Hi Dice /EA why don't you bring guns over from bf 4 if there is any reason I would love to know yours sincerely Ascenedsong
Dropped another nanosecond off my RAM. Hoping it increases my minimum fps from 110 to 115
https://puu.sh/IrKVr/3071994ef3.png
you still wont get an answer from them here
Wher then
nowhere
i wish i had the link on hand but i feel like forums are your best bet, your not gonna get any responses from ea members in this sever
Yer lol
nice
