I really need to test out my system on 4k, I've always just used my 1080P monitor, I also need to try out Surround with 3 of these 1080P 144hz

[lunar dawn]

dont go below that though

i mean it does boost fps like a lot even just quality

also depends on the game

(cpu bound or gpu bound)

[humble iris]

I just don't notice any difference, probably cause I'm old and need glasses

[south rune]

@humble iris i had 3 75hz monitors in surround. It was good for some games, but takes up some space, even with a monitor arm setup

[lunar dawn]

or you re already above screen hz

i mean higher fps gives you less input lag

but its not that different from 144 to 200 for example

[humble iris]

Wish I could post pic, I have 4 1080p/144hz, and 1 4k 40"

[south rune]

imgur link it? @humble iris

[humble iris]

Does this pic work? https://p1.builds.gg/builds_pictures/14000/14981/197999/197999_1000.jpg

[south rune]

yes. Thats a superb setup. Love it. So those 3 monitors not in nvidia surround?

[humble iris]

not at the moment No.

[south rune]

You have a stream deck?

[humble iris]

yeah, It's pretty awesome, I use mostly for hotkey applications, and lots of other functions

it controls OBS quite nicely

[south rune]

Are you a streamer?

[humble iris]

not really, it's all just for fun. I stream sometimes.

[south rune]

I was about to say, setup surround and try BF2042. But that would probably be a bad idea due to BF struggling graphics wise on some people setups - even those with one monitor

[humble iris]

Yeah, i was think like older games that support it better like L4D2 which is still really fun.

[south rune]

I think BFV did, thats a game i tested in surround, along with elite dangerous

[humble iris]

I will have to try it out, I have every Battlefield game back to 1942 I think.

Anyone know, what's the best way to play a game on a secondary monitor without making it the main/focus display?

Is it as simple as just ALT+ENTER and dragging it over, and ALT+ENTER

Ohh wait, can't BF2042 have a setting to choose which

[south rune]

You just open game settings and tell it which monitor @humble iris

[south rune]

I'm glad its phased out

Seriously, if your like command line, then linux would be a great move for you. Granted games that require anticheat will need windows. For the most part i think you'd like linux

[humble iris]

I do like Linux

[south rune]

I do have dual boot, but as BF2042 won't play its windows for the moment

Going back to what you said about raid. I don't have raid enabled on my pc. I only have that on the NAS

[humble iris]

I'm thinking about that in my future build, if I go full Linux, or dual boot. I already dual Boot Windows on UEFI, Windows boot manager, but not sure how that would work with Linux/Windows UEFI dual boot.

[humble iris]

Yeah this PC will be repurposed as a NAS as my old X58 is my NAS/Game server right now.

[south rune]

Dual boot, i use windows manager for the moment. Linux and windows on separate drives.

[humble iris]

Yes, same seperate drives are the only way to go in my opinion

[south rune]

I did try gaming on linux. For the most part i found it amazingly better than 5 years ago, when i last tried linux

[humble iris]

yeah I have quite a few games that will run on Linux.

[south rune]

which ones, out of sheer curiosity

[humble iris]

let me check.

I have total of like 300 games

[south rune]

@lunar dawn oh, i found the drain on my fps. Ray traced ambient occlusion - will have to go back and try it all again!

If i could get 4k at above 60fps i'd be happy as its really only a 60hz monitor.

[lunar dawn]

well here s the settings that you should try anyway:
full screen (not borderless) at max hz supported, all low, enable future frame rendering, put detailed objects (whatever its called) to low, try nvidia reflex in on+boost (made it better for me) and try dlss

try all this with no nis and in native 4k and use only dlss with it and see if its better, for fov i personally use 84 for player and max for vehicle somestimes it can impact fps

also i use ads field of view because its so nice

oh also disable motion blur because its just bad

the filter effect its well preference but i dont like them personally like lens distortion etc and also disable vsync if you dont have severe tearing issues

vsync only adds input lag like a lot

[south rune]

I have reflex on + boost already, but Ray traced ambient occlusion drained about 30-40 fps when i went back to my 1080p 144hz monitor. So figure that turning that off will help with 4k.

[lunar dawn]

also try the other settings i said like enable future frame rendering and turn off motion blur and vsync

and also use fullscreen

[south rune]

I turned off future frame rendering as it claimed it could increase input lag. I will try it again as it seems to be a default setting

[lunar dawn]

it increases fps quite a bit tbh

if you use it with nvidia reflex its doesnt add much input lag

vsync adds way more

[south rune]

I felt playing in 4k was crisper, 1440p mode was better fps wise but after watching the video you provided, i felt its not an option on this game

[lunar dawn]

(vertical sync)

[lunar dawn]

well it has way more pixels

[humble iris]

I can't figure out a way to check anymore, to see which games are games Linux Ready

[south rune]

Not to worry, steam seems the best way to play games on linux these days anyway

[humble iris]

for sure.

[humble iris]

there were some that would scan your games to see, none work anymore.

OMG the Xbox Windows app is so stupid, there is no way to find where a game is installed. All Hidden, and Protected, does not tell you where you installed it or which drive.

Okay so I found a way, it's stupid, but its the only way.
You have to go to "Apps & Features" in Windows. Find the game, click on "Move" and it will tell you what drive it's installed on. And give the option to move to another drive.
You cannot install Xbox App games to custom directories, only different drives. Default is C:\WindowsApps D:\WindowsApps etc...

[vestal summit]

Hi all! I'm working on improving bf2042 performance via hardware tweaks. A rtx2060 in my laptop has enough thermal headroom to raise above 80w, the current limit my laptop seems to be offering me. I'd like the option of 90w ceiling instead of the 80. Higher is technically possible but this laptop only gets so much power and im sure the thermal limit of my heatsink is around there. MSI Afterburner has power limit option greyed out. Is there an option with my current BIOS to get around this? I used IMON offset to get around my CPU's power limit by disguising it's true value. Something similar for GPU I can do? I'd prefer not to have to get a vbios if possible

Basically, I got GREAT performance boost in bf2042 by undervolting my CPU to cool it down and then limiting clockspeeds under its thermal limit. Here's how: My i7-8750h would hit 90*c (which is the thermal limit) before hand and thus slow clock speeds a bunch to lower temps... slashing my bf 2042 fps and making it studder a bit. After undervolting with Throttlestop, the long power limit of 45w limited my cpu clock speeds long term but was like 15 *c cooler. AKA, I was getting a bit better performance but my speeds were still lower than they could be because the laptop capped watts at 45w, even though I could speed it up while remaining under 90c temp. Laptop didnt let me raise power limit via throttlestop or BIOS, so I went into advanced IMON slope and put in "50" with a 31999 offset. Now the computer falsely reads my watts, letting me put in "24", which I believe is actually around 48watts. Perfect. Now I get faster CPU speeds that still remain under 90c while gaming! Putting in my fake "25" in power limits, 50 in actuality, makes it hit 90c again so I stuck with 24/48w.

Because of BF2042's cpu demand, this undervolt cooled things down enough that I could pump up the power going into the cpu to speed up clock speeds higher than usual while remaining under thermal throttling limit. Boom. FPS 15+ higher at 1440p. Happy :). But now I've entered the rabbit hole... and I see that my FPS at high and ultra can actually be raised more with more GPU tuning! I overclocked it, boom. +5-8fps on TOP of the CPU's fps change. Fantastic. But that GPU is also super cool.... and can handle more heat with ease. But, same deal.... laptop is not allowing me to adjust watts to GPU. It's capped at 80watts. Just like my CPU success, I want to get better performance with more GPU power to allow me to farther attempt to improve speeds. Atm, certain overclocks fail/unstable and higher watts should be the fix. So... your thoughts?

[near rune]

I think your limitation is that its a laptop, though thats interesting when you undervolted it raised the fps

Have you checked how many cores does 2042 utilize

Cpu cores

[midnight crypt]

throw the laptop in the dumpster and buy a desktop

[vestal summit]

Hahah nah I move around too much and use performance that would be wayyyy more expensive if I combo'ed a good laptop with a good desktop, vs just a high quality laptop. Besides, stable 60fps ultra bf2042 at 1440p ain't bad. Just like a console

[vestal summit]

I have not! & yeah you are right in one respect. The laptop is the limitation. But currently the limitation is actually power. Originally, it was heat. My cpu would raise to 90c, which would throttle itself as a heat protection and bf2042 performance suffered. Undervolting fixed that throttle by cooling it 10-15c. CPU speeds rose a bit, but then stopped around 3,500Mhz at 45w of power. When I worked around that 45w limit on my laptop via BIOS hidden advanced menu IMON value slope of 50 to get my computer to know the wrong watts (after all, the CPU protection of heat is still there so my cpu isnt at any extra threat of harm) I could raise to 48w's. This pumped CPU speeds to 3,700Mhz-3,800Mhz while capping at 87c, averaging 85c. My limit is once again heat, but since I can't undervolt any more and I've already repasted, I just cant cool the cpu anymore. It's properly optimized :). So now I want to up the watts on GPU, who's got no heat issue atm and is limited by power. 80w's when the mobile chips in many devices are set to 90, and its limit is like 100 or 110. I cant supply that much power to it, 100 is nuts and Im pretty sure no laptop has a cooling system which has allowed a company to make it 100w in a rtx2060, but I can supply 90w. The computer just currently doesnt let me. Im looking for something like the IMON slope value that worked with cpu, but with gpu instead

[near rune]

I wouldnt go too far with the power

Theres always a risk of blowing up the power brick

Or battery

Since it's a laptop not fully designed for tuning or overclocking

[vestal summit]

It's all only when plugged in, as the MSI settings roll back power and speeds automatically when disconnected from charger. Unplugged I get like 14fps in bf2042 at low settings on 1440p monitor lol. Plugged in, 60fps cap stable"ish" at ultra settings 1440p monitor w/ DLSS performance. So with the known limits of RTX being 100w or so, that's disregarded because of heat limits. Laptops have rtx 2060's with 80w-90w range. Given that I got 80w limit on my computer, if I want the ceiling to be raised at least 85w ideally 90w, I think my thermal limit is somewhere in that range.... assuming that there's connections that allow that. I dont know how the GPU is connected. I've heard PCIe connections having power limits on what they can handle... I do not know what that means. Given that lack of experience, it is a nervous experience that's been tremendously rewarding educationally and gameplay performance wise. I kinda hope theres a solution to raise watt limit purely so there's one more thing I can learn about in this process lol

[near rune]

I also have an msi laptop gf65 thin

I7 10750h rtx 3060

For me the limit is 90w im pretty sure

And also when you unplug it from the wall your external gpu goes off

Or atleast to a really low clockspeed

[vestal summit]

Oh cool! That's sweet. & yes I think that's what happens as well. Mine's a GS65 w/ i7-8750h & rtx 2060, 16gb upgraded to 32gb for duel channel (I was shocked at how much faster duel channel made stuff, even though overall ram usage has rarely ever exceeded like 14gb). You've got some sweeter hardware. How do you like it?

[near rune]

Runs anything ive tried so far at smooth framerates

Except 2042

I played the beta and got 120fps

Not great for an fps game

And i regularly play microsoft flight simulator

Runs easily over 50fps which is good for a simulator

[vestal summit]

Is your screen 1080p? Curious what your cpu temps and speeds look like while playing bf 2042

[near rune]

1080p 144hz, i gave up on 2042 after the beta because i realized even before that that it was going to be a failure

[pale crest]

Anyone know any good cheaper less than 600 gaming laptops? I just wanna play rust and scp secret labs and maybe download some mods on minecraft

[vestal summit]

Play BFV at launch? I wouldn't rule off the game yet- there's been rough beginnings. Add scoreboard, cut post credits voice lines, modify BOLTE transport power like it's gun, etc... and you shape up a real quality game base in my opinion. I wont jump on the hate bandwagon until I get a look at February/March bf2042 state

[near rune]

It was my first beta test of a battlefield, and ive ruled it out already. Fps games have gotten significantly worse in these last few years, i do have tarkov but im not 100% into that yet

Ive just been playing msfs and im loving it

Because im an aviation nerd

[vestal summit]

In what currently? USD in the United States? $700 yes, $600 no. Perhaps the deal microsoft's surface laptop go is having rn for an i5 and low memory of like 64gb. Used? Check out the Acer Aspire 5 or such. Used laptops exist there. But if you're looking new and gaming, $700 will give Acer Nitro: AN515-57-584Y. Its got a i5 11th gen w/ GTX 1650 graphics card and 8gb of ram. Unfortunately, in the U.S., inflation is high so prices are up and graphics cards continue to be tough to find for about another 6 months at minimum, leading to increased prices on all graphics cards

[vestal summit]

Betas are exclusively to get data during development. Many game's, perhaps even most, dont do open beta events or limit beta to like a day or so of playing to a finite number of people. Often you have to be invited to play a beta. I'd give it another shot in a month or two when some updates roll out to give it a shot! Aviation's cool though- fly at all irl?

[near rune]

Nah i dont fly irl, would be nice to get a ppl at some point though

I would love to be an airline pilot at some point

Its just that flight schools are 80-120k€

From 0-atpl

And its an industry thats constantly changing

Covid came, no planes flying, fuel prices rise, no planes flying

And you barely make any money at the start of your career

But there are estimates that air transport will rise this and next year to a record high possibly

[wraith sky]

In most BF games I hit the soft cap of 230-240FPS. I thought with all of the hype of DLSS and Reflex for 2042 I would see higher numbers, but I am generally around 130+fps. (Although I have not launched the game in over a month.)

My temps are usually under 40C.

I play on Ultra settings.

1080p with 360Hz refresh.

[vestal summit]

that’s good fps

you can’t fix anything

that’s basically expected for your build

this game just runs so bad on high end hardware

[humble otter]

my definition of minimum is being able to run at 60fps at lowest settings

[lunar dawn]

what ram, gbs mt/s and cas latency (you can check in task manager>performance> memory the current MHz and you can check cl latency with cpuz or hwinfo64)

2042 loves fast ram quite a bit

with xmp off i get like 20 less fps

I used rivatuner back in like 08/09, What's it like these days, it had a lot of bugs back then.

I used Fraps for FPS counter lol, I stll have a paid FRAPS just don't use it anymore.. It always took an FPS hit to show FPS lol..

[pale quartz]

rivatuner statistics is pretty solid

some minor compatibility issues with software but it's generally reliable

[lunar dawn]

download msi afterburner it includes riva thner

[humble iris]

I think this what I will try, Not sure why Origin doesn't support 4K I guess the in-game counter can be made bigger.. "PerfOverlay.FpsDisplayScale 4"

[lunar dawn]

you can then use msi afterbuenr with tiva to well show temps graphs etc

[pale quartz]

it actually doesnt include Riva tuner, it's an external package to afterburner

[humble iris]

I think Rivatuner is what they are all built upon, even EVGA Precision IIRC

[lunar dawn]

yes but its included in the installer

[pale quartz]

Riva tuner, and riva tuner statistics are different pieces of software

MSI afterburner does not include the software, it bundles the dependency to allow for the FPS counter

I refuse to purchase any hardware at this ridiculous time. I will wait it out.

[pale quartz]

it will be worse but they're talking about supply for current hardware only

[latent light]

AMD and Nvidia relying on the same node gonna make shortage so much worse imo

[pale quartz]

nah

using same node doesn't = double the demand for that node

access to TSMC nodes are timed for supply, they each get their own portion

it will just be worse because 5nm nodes haven't reached maturity like 7nm, and won't for a while

[latent light]

Apple is still using 5nm heavily, they will move to 4nm soon but that uses the exact same fabs and tools as 5nm

doesn't matter

nodes are produced on wafers according to their own section, tool aggregation has never been a problem

it's been done for years, because it has to

[latent light]

TSMC 5nm production is significantly lower than 7nm afaik

GPUs are being produced far more than ever before yet there's still a shortage

[pale quartz]

well yeah because it doesn't matter how much supply there was for GPUs it was an industry demand problem not a GPU specific problem

[humble iris]

The problem is a domino effect.

Covid-Hysteria >> Material Shortage >> Demand >> Scalping >> Demand >> Scalping >> Unnecessary Upgrades >> Hoarding >> Greed >> Demand.

[eager sun]

does someone here know what happens when you put 4GB ram in one channel and 8GB in the other one ? (assuming it works at all bcs obv mixed sticks) buildzoid has made a video about it and said that dual channel would work as long as you use <8gb* of ram, above 8gb* the cpu cant split the extra data between the two channels anymore and therefore be as slow as single channel when accessing that data

@pale quartz maybe but he might have me blocked LOL

[pale quartz]

huh

why would I have you blocked

[eager sun]

we had a really not agreeing with each other at all conversation a while ago

[pale quartz]

bruh just cause I don't agree with someone doesn't mean I'll block them

as long as you don't personally come after me you're good

[pale quartz]

he's correct, dual channel doesn't take into consideration the size of the DIMM modules, it's just where the sticks are themselves, as long as everything is equal aka CAS latency speed etc it will default to dual channel for both sticks, it's simply a divisional number

assuming the sticks are mixed and not the same brand, the motherboard with lock the dual channel to the lowest common speed on both sticks, normally JEDEC spec 2133/2666

I'm not sure about the technical limitation of 4GB specifically but based on how the IMC segregates data it sounds correct

why anyone would use 4GB especially on DDR4 is questionable anyways

[eager sun]

i corrected it to >8gb of ram used bcs only then the cpu cant split anymore when using 4gb in one and 8gb in the other channel my mistake thank you for explaining

[pale quartz]

yeah essentially it's a DDR4 hardware level limitation

this wouldnt be an issue, under normal circumstances where memory is asynchronous for its executions as dual channel would simply be able to deallocate blocks as need be

but DDR4 segments transfer requests into synchronous timings so it isn't possible to dynamically deallocate and reallocate blocks for this specific technical limitation

[pulsar sentinel]

OEM manufacturers I guess.

[quick locust]

Flex mode

[pulsar sentinel]

A lot of $800 laptops still use 4GB.

Mine still use 4GB

I added another 8GB though.

[south rune]

@lunar dawn the other day with your advice on NIS. dlss etc. After testing. 1440p on the 2060 is the best, can't get 60fps in 4k even on settings low. 1440p, is good though

[lunar dawn]

afteral its a 2060 with just 6gbs of vram lol

its a 1080p card

[jagged pecan]

I have a pc that has a (3070rtx 16gb) and I have 64 gb of ram

[humble iris]

I thought if you used 2 different sized dimms of ram it will operate at dual channel until it exceeds the 8GB, and the last 4 GB will be in single channel. There was a name for this. It does it on my triple channel AMD board, I just can't remember the term it was dual or triple (Something rather) mixed mode.

[lunar dawn]

no dual channel always works

i mean i have 2*16 gbs sticks rn in dual channel

[humble iris]

he was talking about 2 different sized 1-8GB & 1-4GB I'l correct my post.

When I did that before on a triple channel board, it ran in dual something mode

Dual Symmetric I believe is what is was called

[marsh gull]

that tiny fan tho

[humble iris]

thats not a fan, its a blower they were so much better then the open coolers today, I still have my 2 8800GTS / 9800GTX+ / 2 GTX285FTW all with blowers, but they are loud, very effective but loud.

[latent light]

Blowers were never better than open style coolers

Blower coolers are only needed for GPUs in OEM type cases with very little airflow

[humble iris]

How do you know

Blowers were the only coolers available on High-End cards

before open coolers

blowers were definitely more effective, the open cooler are just more effective with less noise

people wanted silent coolers

Especially when SLI was a thing, I had 3 285 blower gpus, and then 2 780's in SLI was way too hot. I can say from experience the blowers were better. You can't really compare it to a new GPU cause they much different in efficiency and power. I mean I have a 3 slot GPU right now, it does work very well, and is pretty much silent

but the cooler is 3 times the size

probably 4-5 times more aluminum then my 285s

All I know is that Blower card looks sexy AF

[marsh gull]

yeah well i dont like having a jet engine next to me while im playing with speakers

[humble iris]

As long as the connector fits, has same polarity, and same specs, Amps, voltage etc.. then it should work, But that's up to you. They even make multi DC power supplies for laptops you just put in the correct tip, turn to proper polarity, and set amperage, and voltage to work virtually any laptop.

I have even cut the connectors off one brand and wired to another brand, it's all about power delivery, but ultimately that's your decision.

On discord you don't have to pay or do much special to have your own server

Discord is basically teamspeak 5.0

[humble iris]

yeah I didn't with teamspeak either, and did not need boost pay walls

[prime jasper]

I still have a dedicates Teamspeak Server... but this will even not be possible to use on ps5

[humble iris]

you could try some hot love voice chat site

I know thanks

I'm actually trying to find something that would work.

[prime jasper]

No... PS5 has no Browser.

[humble iris]

ohh well then thats not going to work

[prime jasper]

That's why i've asked if you heard about other possibilities.
But anyway... thank you for your investigation.

I thought it could be that you have other options ... (in other countries)

[humble iris]

Xbox, and PC can use Xbox App

but PS5 I don't know

[prime jasper]

PS5 / PS4 can use "Playstation Party" ... but PC-User can not join....
That's not the best Situation for X-Play.....

COD is much better in that role.😩

[humble iris]

I'm seeing something about Playstation party chat on PC

[toxic wigeon]

Unfortunately discord isn't usable on either consoles yet

[prime jasper]

Yes... that will work... but your PC has to be in the same NETWORK 😫

[humble iris]

ahh that sucks

I also see that some wireless headsets will connect to a phone and PC/console at the same time for use on discord mobile,

so in game sounds, and mobile device

some people use earbuds on mobile phone and use headset over top of them for gaming

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/kyz394/whats_the_best_way_to_cross_platform_chat/

[prime jasper]

You are right. But there are still a lot of sound problems.
I've tried that several times with mobile phone/PS5/discord or mobile phone/PC/discord ...
But that really sucks... in case of

• Sound overlay
• connetion Lost
• ....

Anyway... thank you for helping. But it looks like my friends has to wait until discord will be useable on PS5...

Hey guys, I watched some Youtube videos of players running BF5 on high settings and getting 60+ fps on an older rig. The video that I specifically watched matched my specs, which is an i7 4790 and a GTX 970 4gb with 16gb of RAM. For their video, it ran very smoothly in multiplayer. For me, it's the opposite. I get 25-30 fps on lowest settings (when there's nothing happening on the screen), and 15 fps when explosions and lots of action happening. This is on 1080p 60 hz resolution (I have a Dell Ultrasharp Monitor that is capped at 60hz, used for editing and rendering). When I run the game, I close all applications in the background as well. Task Manager during game is CPU 30% and GPU 10%. It does seem like a bottleneck but after watching the videos, I just don't know if it is or just old hardware.

Hardware: - Gigabyte Z97 D3H Motherboard, Intel Core i7 4790, Gigabyte GTX 970 (Mini ITX), 8GB DDR3 Vengeance RAM (idk what speed it has), 8GB unidentifiable RAM (No company label or name, no cover) and a Cooler Master V1000 PSU. I have a Dell Ultrasharp U2422H Monitor @ 1080p and 60hz. Thank you for anyone trying to help me from reading this long paragraph

(Side Note: It was previously used by my family member for 5 years of uni rendering and editing images, it is just BF5 that runs this bad, other games (BF4 on High has 60 fps on 1080)

[supple bane]

8gb of ddr3 is my guess

is it dual or single channel?

[jagged coyote]

Dual Channel

I put 2 sticks of ram differently, bc they not same

as said above

[midnight crypt]

so did the guy in the vid have ddr4 ram

[jagged coyote]

am I allowed to link videos?

he didnt say much, but just the same specs as I have

Quick question: When i set my fans to PWM in bios they always seem louder than when i set them to DC. I'm using smart fan, and also used the fan calibration option too. I always thought that Pulse wave mod was better than DC?

[latent light]

RTX 3050 is gonna be in tight supply, its production relies on defective GA106 chips, which is the same chip the RTX 3060 is based on

GA106 yields are too good to have many cut-down ones, so don't expect to see very many 3050s

[eager sun]

It obv depends on the fan curve. If its the same curve the fans should run at the same speed and there shouldnt be a difference.

[south rune]

@eager sun Ive got it set where i can live with the fan noise. Its just strange how DC is near silent when idle compared to pwm.

what is considered too hot for hotspot temp?

[quick locust]

I think AMD said 110C on their gpus

But I'd rather go a bit lower than that

[eager sun]

i just ignore the hot spot reading, i have a gtx 1080 and for a couple of years that reading didnt even exist, also its surely not something actually measured as the gpu doesnt have temperature sensors all over it and the gap between normal core temp and hot spot is always the same for me (its 11C idle/gaming doesnt matter) both move up and down in sync down to the decimal point

at least for me it quite obvious that its an artificial value software gets by doing whatever but surely not by actually measuring something physically present on the gpu

[quick locust]

it's the hottest temperature sensor

and you don't need to monitor temperatures in general unless you suspect a cooling issue causing throttling of a part

[raw turtle]

rip everyone who thought they were gonna get a 3050

[eager sun]

for me the reading is always exactly +11C abvoe normal core temp and didnt even exist for years it might be something actually measured on newer cards but for my 1080 it definitely isnt

[quick locust]

They hadn't enabled viewing it in drivers

AMD cards has for a while

And the gap is just from average temp to highest temp

[eager sun]

i understand that but the gap is the same all the time which doesnt make any sense

[supple bane]

mine is reaching 100+ degrees tho

[eager sun]

even if mine was real i would ignore it as it didnt exist for a long time so why care about it now you were fine overclocking and stuff without even seeing the hotspot reading for years anyways

if your sure its actually something measured and the gap between average core temp and hotspot is really high you could consider reapplying new thermal paste to be sure everything is as good as it gets there

[quick locust]

As well as mounting pressure

[wintry wolf]

my gpu always (no matter what game) levels out at 70C and my cpu at 51C. Is that good?

[humble iris]

What GPU, it's not bad, but maybe it needs more air.

[wintry wolf]

rtx 2060 super

i have a radiator front-mounted so it doesnt have great airflow

[humble iris]

By no means is that too hot, but it can be cooler then that

What are the idle temps?

[wintry wolf]

everything i've read say its almost ideal, tomshardware's test model had 74C

[humble iris]

Yeah my 2080 gets that hot @ 100%, I don't like it, but I also don't like all the fans in my case running full 100% it's like a jet engine.

[latent light]

Every GPU I've had would sit around 70-75C

[wintry wolf]

see for me my pc is super quiet

[humble iris]

I wish running 3 monitors would let my card run at idle, this 1230MHZ sucks, fans going on and off sucks. idling at 54c rather then 36c

my GPU hits 80+ most the time, but i would say my case doesnt have the best airflow

[proud trellis]

rn ive got a i5 9400f with a 1660super and 16gb ram

i will hopefully upgrade to a 4070 and then either a R7 or an I7 and i will just keep the ram i have now as its fairly new

[wintry wolf]

yeah now i have rtx 2060 super, r5 3600x, and 32gb of ram (overkill)

never used more than 12gb

[proud trellis]

tbf i was thinking about getting another 16GB kit and have 32GB but its not gonna be a priority, i doubt i will go for 32GB though tbh

[wintry wolf]

yeah really not neccesary

mainly i want to play at 4k

[proud trellis]

i have used 15GB before on tarkov but this was like a few months ago and the optimization is fairly better now

i mainly just hit 13GB max overall now

[wintry wolf]

tho i do need new ssd

[proud trellis]

but yeah most people i know that have 32GB of ram say its not worth it so it will be best to take there advice

[wintry wolf]

i am full, it is 500gb

[rich ridge]

Does anyone know why running games on my 1080p 55in TV is so pixelated and grainy vs my laptop?

I connect via HDMI

[supple bane]

Pixels per inch

[eager sun]

because your tv is way too large

[supple bane]

Its the same amount of pixels spread across a gargantuan area

[eager sun]

^

[supple bane]

So the actual physical size of the pixels will be bigger

Thus it looks worse

[eager sun]

even 27" 1080p looks bad but 55" must be next level bad

[supple bane]

Ngl i cant tell the difference between my 27" 1080 and 27" 1440p

Well i can if i look closely, but not in games

[supple bane]

Just look at cable tv and youll know

Here is like 720p, on our 55" tv its just fuzz

[eager sun]

not ? i instantly see it when i watch youtube videos/streams on a 27" monitor dont know how it is in games though

[supple bane]

You mean a 1080p stream on a 1440p monitor ?

That will look bad cuz science

I dont know the exact reason but i think its cuz 2560 cant be divided by 1920 to get an integer value, so shit gets squish squashed

This isnt exactly scientific but:

Top is 1440 on a 1440p monitor

Middle is 1080 on a 1440 monitor

And bottom is 1080 on 1080

1080 on 1440 is noticably more blurry than 1080 on 1080 to me

[proud trellis]

yeah

[supple bane]

im running a 3060 and ryzen 7 4750g with 1080p high settings and dlss on balanced, but sometimes im getting as low as 38 frames. Anyone know what's wrong?

[prime jasper]

if its for 2042. refund the game because its dookie

bad optimization and just bad everything. get battlefield v

[pale quartz]

this 99% sounds like a laptop so make sure the game is actually using the dedicated GPU, note that laptop performance is very variable and is not representative of desktop 3060 class performance

[pale quartz]

if the OEM does not have the charger anymore, you will have no choice but to get it from third party sellers

[lunar dawn]

dont get bfv

get bf1

such a good game

bfv is till good but man bf1 is better

[lunar dawn]

that cpu has integrated graphics, is your monitor connected to mobo or gpu

also check in task manager if its using gpu or igpu while playing the game

[clear oxide]

im pretty certain it's not using my apu for graphics because I know the game would run at 1 fps lmao. Before I got the 3060, I tried the game with the integrated graphics and it was unplayable at low settings

hdmi is connected to gpu

[lunar dawn]

i mean you can still check ... open the game open task manager then while playing alt tab and under the performance tab check the gpu usage

that said this game needs optimisation

if its average 38 fps then its bad if its low 38 its bad but not as bad

anyway try to download newest drivers

[clear oxide]

ok

[lunar dawn]

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en

[lunar dawn]

heres the link

fixed

[clear oxide]

downloaded my drivers from the nvidia app last week

has there been an update since?

[lunar dawn]

yes

anyway (imo) you shouldnt use geforce experience its just bloatware

but thats my opinion

[clear oxide]

oh

yea ig you could do it all from the browser

[lunar dawn]

and i also hate the fact that you need a nvidia account to use that

anyway try new driver and also check temps while playing

[clear oxide]

alright

[lunar dawn]

btw to check temps use something like msi afteburner with riva stats overlay or https://www.hwinfo.com/download/ (wich i really like)

[clear oxide]

rn im playing the witcher 3 but I'll do all of that when I get back on bf

[lunar dawn]

oh man im not blaming you for not wanting to play the game lol

hopefully they ll fix it ... one day

well, other than the fps, I've been having fun. haven't experienced any bugs except for falling through the floor once and also the reload sign bug. But ig I'll hate it more the more I play

But on the video they get like 90 fps

Pr 80?

[rotund sorrel]

Might take a look at benchmarks on YouTube

ahaa

[prime jasper]

Wonder why do

If it's reccomend

?

If it wont even get 100 fps :(

[rotund sorrel]

You might get that or even more on smaller game modes like Rush or 64-player playlist for now

[prime jasper]

Aw

Is that game done with optimization pathces

Or nah

[rotund sorrel]

They said they're gonna do more optimization so hopefully where are gonna get more performance in the future

[prime jasper]

Wait fr like when you say performance you meen like better fps :D

[rotund sorrel]

yeah yeah

[prime jasper]

I hope it good :)

Also can I still be sweaty and competitive at 90 fps

Or nah

Like I want to be able to win gun fights when playing aggresive

you will end up a bit over 100fps average if you play 1080p lowest graphics settings

@storm osprey @molten coral

why not let LTT settle it?

[proud trellis]

i saw that vid but to me it didnt look like a G502 he was holding so i never bothered watching it

[pale quartz]

save your money get a 12600k instead

[supple bane]

welp. it is indeed about the g502

[molten coral]

It looks exactly like the G502?

[supple bane]

im guessing he means the thumbnail

[molten coral]

ye i'm talking about the thumbnail

[supple bane]

TLDR, ltt says he recommends it, but there are still other options out there.

[proud trellis]

yeah idk what other mouse that could of been but at that moment in time i thought it was a different mouse, probs just me being dumb

[humble iris]

I quit using Logitech mice after 20+ yrs.went through 3 mice, and the click buttons are so sensitive they don't last my strength, and I hate sensitive switches, almost clicking by itself. I miss my Logitech 700s it lasted a good 2 or 3 years. I absolutely hated the 502 Hero, and the G703 Lightspeed lasted only 1 year with issues throughout that year. I've been using the Corsair Dark Core PRO for over a year, and it's been solid as a rock, still wish it was heavier, and less click sensitive though. I did recently go back to a Logitech Keyboard G815, for a month or so It's been solid so far.

[vital hornet]

Never use zowie mice by benq
Ive gone through 2 and they both started double clicking after less than a year

[wet notch]

i've done the same lol

but i still bought a 3rd one because i love the size and shape

havent found any other like them, size and shape wise

[vital hornet]

Truuue

Its like the only gamer mouse that doesnt look like you can slice your finger open on it

[south rune]

So i configured Pihole with unbound and works great

Next project is open media vault

[fickle moth]

quick question can you not enable DLSS on a 1080p monitor?

[humble iris]

Early on you could not, but some new games allow DLSS in game settings, but I see no real advantage or notice.

[fickle moth]

yeah I found out how to do it via geforce experience

yeah i mean from what i can tell it just adds fps

[humble iris]

It doesn't do anything me.

[fickle moth]

damn

[wintry wolf]

razer all the way, i have a basilisk v3 and it is solid

[proud trellis]

i like razer apart from their audio products and their mice

[prime jasper]

Guess what I bought the EVGA RTX Ti 3060 8GB

😎 😎 😎

How many frames you think I can get with it paired with my i7-10700k I bought

[abstract tendon]

I need help in bf1 my character stops running

Just ping me please if you can help me

[storm osprey]

Don’t even have to watch to know he recommends it as a general mouse and not fps specific.

[rotund sorrel]

90+ maybe

Maybe look for benchmarks on YouTube

[storm osprey]

For which game? What resolution? What settings?

[prime jasper]

For battlefiled 2042 I'm gonna pIr with my i7-10700k

[prime jasper]

Was trying to find a good affordable combo for the game hoping the game wont take all my 8GB of VRAM do 😭

[storm osprey]

I have a 10700k for 1440p with a 3080 and with low settings and dlss I get 110 fps average unless I’m in absolute mayhem.

[prime jasper]

I'm only gonna play 1080p

Wonder if the game has dlss performance

🤔

[abstract tendon]

I need help on bf1 imma smash everything

[prime jasper]

What happend is your pc working ?

[abstract tendon]

Yes

But my facking character stops running

[humble iris]

keyboard issue maybe..

like it's releasing W even though you're holding it.

[abstract tendon]

It’s a laptop

I play bf4 too and it’s not an issue there

[humble iris]

Maybe check the settings and see if it's to either click or hold, IDK.

[toxic wigeon]

Is the G502 really that good?

[lofty light]

The G604 is where it's at

[abstract tendon]

Already on hold

[humble iris]

The only thing else I can think of is another software conflicting with the keyboard itself, or USB port due to the USB is shared. it might be disengaging the usb port for a millisecond or something. I would start with a background program, even try disabling Origin/EA ingame overly and seeing if that helps. I wouldn't rule out a keyboard hardware or software issue maybe a macro interfering like in G-Hub or something. Test with another keyboard maybe. at least try to rule it out.

Maybe even test a different USB port on a different root hub.

is it a wireless keyboard? maybe try plugging it in USB direct

[abstract tendon]

It’s a laptop

[humble iris]

maybe if it's wireless your cellphone is interfering

[abstract tendon]

A gaming one and I don’t have this problem on bf 4

[humble iris]

Reinstall the game

try a USB Keyboard

[abstract tendon]

And I looked it up on google and they where saying turn off ingame overlay but it’s turned off too

[humble iris]

just because it doesnt happen on another game doesn't mean it's the game

doesn't mean it isnt either, just isolating the issue is the main thing

[abstract tendon]

Mhm

[humble iris]

Maybe a conflicting software.

the game is demanding, it could very well even be a power issue

What laptop model?

[warm helm]

3060has 12gb😅

[abstract tendon]

Asus rog the rest idk I have an ryzen 5600h and a rtx 3050ti

16 gb ram

[quick locust]

Factory reset on my NAS rn

Not sure why I could not connect to it for a while, then it came up as non initialized

Wish this had an LED screen to show what happened, but w/e

Also the drive was pretty warm during it

[prime jasper]

I have the ti version

[prime jasper]

People said the Ti is better then reg 3060

Even do it's 8GB

[thorny briar]

Is it normal to get 50 fps with a 3090 and an i7-12700k in this game 🤣🤣

[buoyant quartz]

https://streamable.com/pwyyru

damn

doesnt show preview?

[thorny briar]

Its so horribly optimized

[buoyant quartz]

yeah well got a fix tried everything and this close to refunding

[eager sun]

did you try uninstalling and reinstalling steam already ?

[eager sun]

no i get 125 fps avg with 9900k and gtx1080 at 1080p all low settings

you should get same/better fps even with maxed graphics settings

[prime jasper]

What about my EVGA RTX 3060 Ti XC 8GB and my i7-10700k?

[prime jasper]

How many frames would I get?

[eager sun]

i would expect the same ~120fps avg 1080p lowest settings

[thorny briar]

Right!!!! Lol

[eager sun]

i must say that i have my 125fps average number form capframe x i recorded my fps for a few games and that was the result when occasionally looking at the ingame fps counter i dont get that impression but im sure capframe x doesnt lie

[prime jasper]

Qesution is this type of performance normal for a game or is this game not fully done getting optimizations?

[eager sun]

its really far from beeing optimized at all

playing the game on mid range pcs is basically impossible

[prime jasper]

Oof

[buoyant quartz]

y e s

[lunar dawn]

what settings

also i have a 3090+ i9 9900ks and i get 160-180 fps in 1440p

anyway try these things;

use ddu and install latest nvidia drivers (released yesterday)

delete the cache folder under documents/bf2043/cache

use fullscreeen (not borderless), disable vsync and motion blur, try nvidia reflex on+boost, enable future frame renderin, use dlss quality or balanced

that helped me

[astral temple]

o i have a nvidia geforce gt 710 any upgrade ones i should get? maybe something that i can keep up with the new games like halo that came out

same as battlefield

[lunar dawn]

depends also on cpu, resolution you want to play and at what fps

[astral temple]

i heard about the 2060

is that good

[eager sun]

my gtx 1080 isnt even at 100% i wouldnt expect a better gpu to make a difference then :/

1080ti from my brother also clearly below 100%

[astral temple]

should i get the 1080 then

[lunar dawn]

you re cpu bottlenecked

my gpu is almost at 100% due to my cpu being fast enough

(5.1 ghz all core)

anyway this game is cpu bound on most scenarios

for 1080p i d get a 1080/1080ti/2060/ 2060 super/3060

[eager sun]

i run 5.2ghz all core 4.9ghz cache -_-

[lunar dawn]

what cpu

[eager sun]

9900k

[lunar dawn]

also this game likes fast ram

[eager sun]

4000C15 xd

[lunar dawn]

4600nhz cl18

[lunar dawn]

cl15? samsung b die?

[eager sun]

yes

i can oc my ram but i highly doubt that will do that much

do you know what bandwidth/latency your getting ? (aida64)

[lunar dawn]

gonna check later lol rn im getting my third vaccine shot rn

[storm osprey]

depends on wants/needs and its pretty subjective. id say the only objective flaws are the cheap switches and plastic feel, but the sensor is top of the line and build quality is pretty good. everything else like shape and weight is up to you. its a good overall mouse imo, especially if you do any sort of production.

[storm osprey]

you either memeing, lying, or fucked something up. i get about 110 fps at 1440p with a 10700k and 3080

[prime jasper]

Is this fast ram I bought to sets of these?

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory

[lunar dawn]

oh god vengeance ram...

probably the worst ram you can buy especially for oc

[lunar dawn]

https://youtu.be/Iek-UH9ZWUw

from ltt

[lunar dawn]

i get almost 200 with a 3090 so that sounds about right but anyway its still very low compared to 240+ all ultra 1440p bf1 or bfv

especially bf1 wich looks better than any bf game ever made

[storm osprey]

well bf1/bfv have half the people and is optimized for cpu

[thorny briar]

Alright ill try that

[storm osprey]

not really apples to apples

[lunar dawn]

ok but why i get lower fps in 16vs16 matched on 2042 vs 32vs32 on bfv/bf1

literally half the player and still less fps

[storm osprey]

because the game is cpu optimized so it doesnt scale like traditional games

[lunar dawn]

anyway i already unistalled it and i ll probably wait for season 1 to reinstall

[thorny briar]

I must be doing something wrong, so ill try what Revan said

[lunar dawn]

game is glitched af anyway

[thorny briar]

Yup

[lunar dawn]

it resets my settings almost evrry time i restart the game

[storm osprey]

basically the hardware required to get 60fps is relatively low compared to what 2042 is doing, but you dont scale with better hardware compared to almost every other game out there

[lunar dawn]

wich is dumb imo since in a 16vs16 portal tdm you cant be cpu bottlenecked

literally no explosion and no v1/artiller like bfv

[thorny briar]

All those settings are were prettymuch already on, so ill try to delete cache, and what do u mean by ddu?

[lunar dawn]

anyway thats also why i reinstalled bf1 and uninstalled bf2042 tried to grt a refubd but steam got angry

[storm osprey]

yea it is dumb, i have banging hardware and i dont get to scale off of it because of the way they optimized it, but imo if it was optimized traditionally there would be a lot less low end systems that couldnt outright play it at all

[lunar dawn]

display driver uninstall

its a software that you run in safe windows mode

to ubinstall the gpu driver

then you need to download rhe latest one from nvidia website

or amd ... depending on the gpu

[thorny briar]

I did

I have the latest drivers

[lunar dawn]

yeah what i would try is reinstall the driver...

remove it with ddu and re download it from nvidia website

ddu: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v18047-released

ddu guide included in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/s3sas9/game_ready_driver_51123_faqdiscussion/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[lunar dawn]

honestly idc about low end systems like they expect to be playing AAA games in 2022 with 6-7 years old hardware

[storm osprey]

im sure you dont care, but devs/pubs easily do 🤷

[lunar dawn]

while that might be true everyone that has a 3070 or better got super angry in the steam reviews because someone with old hardware doesnt expect the game to run at 1440p ultra 140 fps while someone who just bought a new gpu does expect that

[storm osprey]

the problem is that most people expect AT LEAST 60 fps, which is how 2042 is optimized (9400 and 1060 gets 60fps at 1080p iirc). so yea... they sacrificed getting the game to the minimum necessary for a lot of people, which makes absolute sense considering the percentages of people rocking old hardware vs new, and especially vs new top of the line

[lunar dawn]

honestly true but sometimes dips below 60 with a 3090 and input lag is horrible

and frame time is also pretty bad coompared to bf1

(a lot of spikes)

[storm osprey]

your shit is fuckd, you have a better system compared to me and im getting way more fps than that, my dips are 90fps at worst

[lunar dawn]

i mean all other vulkan/dx11/dx12/opengl games work just fine

its only 2042 that runs so bad

[obtuse pelican]

Runs flawless for me.

1440p, 120fps Ultra.

R9 5900x & RX6900XT

[storm osprey]

i mean... 99.99% of games arent even close to doing as much as 2042 is trying to do... 128 players alone puts it in a very exclusive club

[obtuse pelican]

ikr

Very pretty game IMO

[storm osprey]

you cant look at 2042 and say fps is bad when comparing it to cod

[obtuse pelican]

But they do...beacuse they dont understand.

And they are also playing on Console. lol

[storm osprey]

well yea.. thats the problem, they lack critical thinking and speak as if they know

does cod even have bullet travel or is it still hitscan?

[obtuse pelican]

It has travel.

[storm osprey]

at least it has that now

[obtuse pelican]

They had to when they added the 64 players large team maps.

Which I actually enjoy.

[storm osprey]

ironically one game that really is poorly optimized is halo infinite, the 4v4 mode gets like 10% more fps than 2042...

[obtuse pelican]

I'm not sure if you can compare it like that. lol

[storm osprey]

you dont think its weird people are shitting on 2042 performance when infinite gets barely better fps but does a lot less?

[obtuse pelican]

Thats like saying why am I only getting 240 FPS in League of Legends, lol

[sharp tiger]

Hey guys just joined because I'm having some issues.

[obtuse pelican]

Oh for sure. That because they are idiots, lol

[storm osprey]

not sure how this applies to what i said

[sharp tiger]

I changed some settings last night to hopefully get better performance and now I'm getting like 2 frames in the menus

Like I cant even click on all out warfare

[prime jasper]

Wait why?

The reviews say the ram is great do?

On pc partpicker

[lunar dawn]

vengeace ram problem i experienced over the years:

they use cheap dies, cant handle oc

sometimes they cant even handle xmp

sometimws they sent me dead ram sticks

[prime jasper]

Mby they got better?

[lunar dawn]

if you want good and cheap ram then crucial ballistix 3600mhz cl16

also what cas latency is that ram

you got

[prime jasper]

I didn't by the ram yet I was going to but you change my mind on the first option

Btw the case latency is 18 for the vengeance ram

[lunar dawn]

thats not very good if its 3600mhz

you can this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LfVG3C/crucial-ballistix-max-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-4000-memory-blm2k8g40c18u4b

or the 3600mhz cl16 version

[eager sun]

corsair uses the same stuff everyone else uses afaik, its up to the gods what ICs will end up on a ram kit

or as buildzoid says "whatever was on the factory floor that day"

[lunar dawn]

uses low quality dies afaik i mean not samsung b dies

or similar

[prime jasper]

Aw I don't know what to get now

:(

[lunar dawn]

explains also the cl18 at only 3600mhz

[lunar dawn]

check link above

[prime jasper]

kk

[lunar dawn]

its rn quite cheap and 4000mhz at cl18 on newegg

no rgb though

[prime jasper]

Will it go good with EVGA 3060TI Xc and i7-10700k with the Z-590 mother board?

[lunar dawn]

yes, also remember to enable xmp in the bios to make the ram run at its rated speed (4000mhz in this case)

most rams need xmp to run above the default 2113/2400mhz

(you can check your current ram sperd in task manager > performance> memory)

[prime jasper]

Wait but the 2x8 is small do right?

I'm trying to get 32 ram

[lunar dawn]

depends on what

gaming? no, video editing? can be

depends

[prime jasper]

For hard cor gaming 2042 basically and cyber punk

And gta 5

[lunar dawn]

if you only game then 16 is enough

if you re a streamer/editor/programmer than you might consider getting 32

[prime jasper]

Then 32 it is

:-:

[eager sun]

when playing bf2042 im using 10/16gb of ram

[prime jasper]

It's like 300 and something

Whaaaa

[lunar dawn]

yeah thats because the 4000mhz 32 costs way more

[prime jasper]

Bruh....

RIP

[lunar dawn]

and anyway if you dont use backgroubd stuff like chrome you dont need 32

3600mhz version in 32

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KkqBD3/crucial-ballistix-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-cl16-memory-bl2k16g36c16u4b

[prime jasper]

Can I combine the 16 version and 32 version

👀

[lunar dawn]

and do 48?

[buoyant quartz]

did anyone else get a glitch when they 1st got Battlefield V where the game just doesnt wanna open and have a fix please?

[prime jasper]

Aw

Nvm

Maby 16 and 16

[lunar dawn]

i mean what are you trying to do?

2x16?

or 2x8?

best thing to get anyway is dual rank

you could get quad channel but it doesnt effect games basically, its just better in rendering afaik

and it costs more

[prime jasper]

I dont know what a dual rank is :(

[lunar dawn]

number of sticks= dual rank is better than single channel memory

[eager sun]

he would need to be on some server or threadripper to use quad channel

[lunar dawn]

nah

thats 8 channel

quad channel is supported by most modern cpus

but its useless unless you really need that bandwidth

[eager sun]

no quad channel is not supported by any modern cpu

[prime jasper]

Crucial Ballistix MAX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 Memory paired this with the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory

Is this good?

[eager sun]

you cant "pair" ram you either buy the 2x8 crucial or the 2x16* corsair but not both xd

[prime jasper]

Aw

Ok

I got an idea

Crucial Ballistix MAX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 Memory paired with the Crucial Ballistix MAX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-4000 CL18 Memory

[lunar dawn]

almost all modern cpus can use 4 sticks of ram

[eager sun]

yes but thats not quad channel

that would be dual channel + dual rank

or even quad rank depending on the sticks

[prime jasper]

Is that a good combo

[eager sun]

troll somewhere else please

[lunar dawn]

or you could do quad channel single ram i think idk

[eager sun]

what is that even supposed to be xd dual channel is max on every consumer gaming type cpu

[prime jasper]

I'm not trolling

:(

[lunar dawn]

is x299/x399 considered consumer?

[lunar dawn]

this is a nice kit of ram

[prime jasper]

kk thx

[eager sun]

yes but not gaming type stuff

[lunar dawn]

well that can do quad channel ... thats what i meant lol

[eager sun]

thats more workstation if you but that for gaming your doing something really wrong

[lunar dawn]

indeed like i said only someone that needs it for work gets quad channel

[eager sun]

thats not exactly "almost every cpu"

sorry "most modern cpus"

[lunar dawn]

anyway if you want 32 gbs of ram you can get 4x8 but anyway ... if you dont keep 40 chrome tabs open while you game/stream/edit videos 16 is enough

[prime jasper]

Thanks for the info and advice the ram is now on my list 😀

[whole nymph]

so on the topic of pc building would i be better off with a 2tb m.2 and a 2tb hdd or a 2tb m.2 with a 1tb sata ssd and a 1tb hdd

(please @ me if you reply so i don't miss it)

[eager sun]

what do you use your pc for

are you even sure you need that much space

[whole nymph]

yea

itll mainly be big fuckoff games

[eager sun]

if half of the space is just for archiving stuff get 2tb m.2 and 2tb hdd

if you actively work with everything dont get an hdd at all

also it speeds things up to not mix different speeds

for 4tb space one 4tb m.2 would be optimal as soon as you add a normal ssd or even hdd everything will slow down when moving stuff between ssds (to the speed of the slower partner)

[whole nymph]

Aight

Also is it still the case that all 16gb sticks of ram are dual rank or has that changed with silicon shortages and such.

[lunar dawn]

you can check the ram specs i guess it should be written somewhere

[whole nymph]

For whatever reason manufacturers don't seem to write it anywhere

[eager sun]

atp i confused myself but i would still say that single rank 16gb ddr4 still basically dont exist

and therefore a 16gb stick is gonna be dual rank

[lunar dawn]

kingston does provide a technical sheet and anyway its on the sticker of the ram usually

(i know kingston does bcs i recently bought ram for my laptop from them)

[eager sun]

there are also websites that track what is dual rank and what isnt to some extent at least

[humble iris]

I know my ram is single rank from CPUz, nowhere else does it tell me if it's single or dual, it's Quad Channel though. Thinking about adding in another 4 sticks so it will act as Dual Rank, Quad channel.

BTW: 4x8=32GB CMK32GX4M4Z3200C16
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Memory/VENGEANCE-LPX/p/CMK32GX4M4Z3200C16

[eager sun]

which cpu do you have

[humble iris]

6950X upgraded from 5930K

[eager sun]

8GB sticks are always single rank no surprise there

[humble iris]

really

[eager sun]

dual rank will only give you a very slight bandwidth boost (compared to the bandwidth you already have now) so if you dont need more ram anyways, its not worth the "upgrade"

[eager sun]

ye

[humble iris]

Okay, because of the density right

[eager sun]

its possible but just not common at all

[humble iris]

Found this on google. In a simplified explanation, an 8GB single rank DIMM, such as HyperX FURY 8GB HX421C14FB2/8, is built with 8 individual higher density memory chips, whereas a dual rank 8GB DIMM is built with 16 lower density chips, double the number of chips but same module capacity.

[quick locust]

Rank interleaving helps dual rank

[eager sun]

yes for 8gb dual rank you would need 16 4gbit x8 ddr4 ics

[humble iris]

yeah that's why I was going to add 4 more sticks, and also so I use some for my L1 cache on RAID Array, and L2 NVMe

[quick locust]

Only HEDT and above

[humble iris]

I have 8 Dimms Quad channel

[eager sun]

yes afaik its very minimal though like low single digit percentages

[quick locust]

Cause you have HEDT

[humble iris]

You are correct.

[eager sun]

yea if you need more ram anyways thats makes sense, wouldnt make sense to get more ram just for dual rank alone though

[humble iris]

Ohh for sure, I was using 8GB for my L1 cache and the hit rate is 100% so I wanted to double it to 16GB I have it setup like this RAID 0 6 WD Blacks 6TB L1 Cache System Ram 8GB DDR4/3200mhz Quad L2 Cache Samsung 980 1TB NVMe

[eager sun]

i basically dont know anything about raid* but im sure you know what your doing xd

[humble iris]

Just building a super fast 6TB Raid Array for games and scratch

It's at 1TB filled as of now

Here is the setup if you're interested in how it works. https://www.pcegaming.com/images_blog/RAID0x6-Primo.jpg

[eager sun]

thx

[abstract tendon]

does anyone know why my nvidia color filter isnt working?

[humble iris]

I Cannot believe this command still works! Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks I've been using that since like WinXP IIRC. It will force your CPU to 0% very useful just before running benchmarks.

I just bought BF1, it's literally unplayable. I play through the tutorial, configured my settings, all is fine until I connect to the home menu, I click "go online", but after loading for a couple of seconds, nothing happens.

That's not the worst part, when I exit the game, try to find methods of solving this, and I open it, it treats me like I'm totally new to the game, asking me to choose some settings, play through the tutorial etc.

How do I fix this? I literally bought a broken product I'm not sure if this is on my end, or EA.

[humble iris]

Have you restarted the PC?
Do you have privacy settings blocking in Windows 10?

[last quest]

yes
not sure, how do i check?

[humble iris]

have you played other games without issues?

[last quest]

yes, except for battlefront 2. every time i start it up and press go online, it will also do nothing, but usually if i go to the desktop, click on some random things, go back into the game and connect, it usually works

this fix does not work for bf1

[humble iris]

What's your PC Specs?

[last quest]

no

No. not that it's issue unless you have a cache and the deferred writes are not getting written to the target disk, or maybe ram issues. I only asked cause you SSDs as in more then 1

Well the only reason I sat this is it's happening in more then 1 game, and weird anomalies that get it working.

There are some things you can do, first I would check the drives for errors, scan the drives, run Trim/Optimze, use WD Dashboard to check for hardware errors.

Make backups of sensitive data before doing any of this.

You could repair Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system-files-79aa86cb-ca52-166a-92a3-966e85d4094e

USE CAUTION HERE Ultimately I would Wipe the drives and install windows NEW. Back up any sensitive data and files.
