[grand rune]

yeah no worries, let me know how it goes, this is very interesting

[inland loom]

about to run it in some tests rn

[inland loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjT97Gq3l_8 It''s still grainy and idk why

I gotta tinker with the colors maybe?? idk

[toxic oracle]

that looks as good as it's supposed to

[inland loom]

man maybe it's just my screen. something just looks off and idk why ;-;

ignore my potato gameplay too. I was not trying a little bit

[toxic oracle]

what are you comparing it to? nvenc streaming will never look "very" good

[inland loom]

I thought NVENC was one of the best ones? So which one is considered the best then

[toxic oracle]

cpu encoding like x264 looks the best but for it to look much better than nvenc it's really hard to run

for single pc

[inland loom]

aaahhh gotcha. yeah thats why I switched to nvenc to split the load. my processor is good but with the strain of apex or warzone it lags

[final bramble]

FYI, the latest version of the kovaaks benchmark combined with the latest progress updater is broken. The Sheet names changed and the cell ranges as well.

"scenario_name_ranges": [
"'Intermediate Requirements'!E3:E20",
"'Advanced Requirements'!E3:E20"
],
"highscore_ranges": [
"'Intermediate Requirements'!G3:G20",
"'Advanced Requirements'!G3:G20"
],
"average_ranges": [
"'Intermediate Requirements'!M3:M20",
"'Advanced Requirements'!M3:M20"
],

this is the what you need to update in the config.json file ^

i have a logitech g640 mousepad and also a glorious full desk pad, which should i use

[minor socket]

640

[bold crown]

okay

also been thinking about buying the artisian mouse pads but idk if they are worth it

[tawny jetty]

If you can find them for a reasonable price they’re very good from what I’ve heard

[minor socket]

Get kanek ez

[grand rune]

if you can find them in stock in your region (so you don’t have to import), 100% get one, artisan are the best and most premium pads i’ve used, besides skypad

[bold crown]

@grand rune why would importing be bad?

[grand rune]

especially here in europe, it’s really expensive to get stuff from abroad here

[minor socket]

Shipping go brrr

In a nutshell

[grand rune]

you usually spend like 1/3 of the price on customs fees, at least here in czech

[bold crown]

can someone link one of the pads i feel like im lookin at the wrong thing

[lavish fjord]

(nvidia shadowplay vs obs ) which one would be better for my specs to record clips or full 20mins games

[grand rune]

750ti has really old nvenc version (4th gen i believe), you can try stripping your nvidia drivers with nvcleanstall and use obs

you won’t get much quality and it will eat your performance

[limber wedge]

dear admin, could u plz help to see what is the problem about update tools?

[grand rune]

it says: visit this url to authorize this application

copy the url and paste it in your browser

[limber wedge]

Is it means that pasted the url of benchmarks sheet on google drive in the app's second line? it seems i'v done it and completed the authorize. attachment below. but the app asked me authorization every time when i launch it . and the same error.

dont know whether the debug is useful.

and this

[limber wedge]

thank you for helping. i exclusive the folder in win defense ,and the app is running ok.

[mortal glen]

yo i have a 1080ti and on kovaaks with 180-210 frames

should i be getting more, less, or about right frames

[grand rune]

probably more, kovaaks isn’t a demanding game

[mortal glen]

hmm aight

[grand rune]

what is your cpu?

[mortal glen]

i7 8700k

so not a bottle neck

[grand rune]

hmm that’s weird

you could try verifying game files or reinstalling, but i doubt it’s gonna do something

was it always like that?

[mortal glen]

im pretty sure ya

i have all graphics settings ultra low and everything

[grand rune]

@mortal glen found this post from 2019, you could try doing that https://steamcommunity.com/app/824270/discussions/0/1637543304829408962/

[mortal glen]

both are off

reinstall maybe?

kovaaks also has to "download scenarios" everytime

been playing for a while but thought it was normal

is it normal?

[gilded creek]

u can change it but yes

[lime rampart]

Another question

do tiger ice feet come with that protective layer on top that you need to remove to get them to stick?

cause these feel super non sticky at the base

[grand rune]

you maybe peeled it off the shiny paper wrong, at least that’s how corepads are

[lime rampart]

ok i lied

just the sensor ring feels non sticky

[grand rune]

try checking it, you maybe peeled it off with non adhesive layer

[lime rampart]

only explanation

lemme see

weird

it happened with another one

and the ones that didn't stick to the mouse left a more distinct mark on the sticky blue paper

does this mean that the non adhesive part is still on, or that the adhesive part stayed on the paper? because the feet that didn't stick feel COMPELTELY unsticky, so I'd imagine there's still a full layer coveringthe adhesive part

[grand rune]

see yourself, corepads usually peel off with 1 extra non sticky layer

and adhesive below it

[lime rampart]

Idk nothing's coming off

[grand rune]

you don’t really need the ring skate, i personally don’t like it

[lime rampart]

it happened with another skate on one of the four corners

I literally just grabbed them and removed them very normally

feels like an issue on their side if this kinda thing happens often

ok can confirm

adhesive part detached from the mouse feet and stuck to the blue paper

[grand rune]

👎

[lime rampart]

Update:

I now have 2 corepadz and 3 tiger ice skates on my mouse

https://tenor.com/view/modern-problems-gif-19663229

[grand rune]

💀💀

[lime rampart]

This is goated

feels amazing

I've cracked the code

Serendipity after all

[last veldt]

i read this as my tiger ice sensor ring fell off today aswell :<

[lime rampart]

I prefer them even to corepadz, as skates, but the adhesive sucks ass apparentl

[last veldt]

There was almost no glue on it when i found it :/
i applied fabric glue i had laying around and it did the trick

[lime rampart]

It was probably what happened to me too

You remove the skate off of that blue paper and the adhesive part of the skate stays on the paper

so the skate doesn't stick

happened with 2/5 of mine

[last veldt]

Yeah , happened with me too, hence why i always prefered corepad since you have two pair with it

[lime rampart]

Honesty with the way these skates feel I think I enjoy them much more than corepads

just fix the adhesion issue and new main 1`00%

[last veldt]

feel wise it's sure better , but my tigerice on hien last 3 months top before feeling like shit , and i cba changing them everytime

[minor socket]

Imagine

I can't even get ice for the hts

[grand rune]

getting tiger ice is just way more expensive compared to corepads loo

lol*

u only get 1 pair and i only seen them on maxgaming, they got super expensive shipping

[lime rampart]

The feeling is worth it

[wide wasp]

Haven't tried ice skates, but heard that they wear out pretty quick.. so for now I'll just pass and keep using tiger arc1's or corepadz

[round palm]

Are glass mouse skates worth it?

With a g640?

[mortal glen]

glass skates are good on cloth pads for extremely low static friction but depending on the glass skate the dynamic friction varies

downsides are you can tell where the dirty parts of your pad(s) are and glass skates tend to be muddy depending on humidity

up to u

[lean frigate]

Do you guys think a G pro X keyboard would be better or a G915 TKL? I don't really think I want low profile but I also don't want a clicky switch, currently using one and it isn't that good.

[ripe pivot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O8LaUhluHI

[buoyant sleet]

@lean frigate I have a G815 full sized and it's goated. I don't see a reason to go wireless personally and I have enough space for a full size. I just like the form factor being slim while still having mechanical switches

[lean frigate]

Yeah I'm fine with wired, forgot about the G815 lol. How do you like the switches compared to normal ones though?

[buoyant sleet]

I think the switches are great, only issue I had was with the keycaps being cheaper. Luckily they will send you and entirely new keyboard for a single broken keycap

I tried to modify my first one a little too much and took the keycaps off and put them back on regularly

[lean frigate]

Interesting, I'll go try it out in an actual store before I buy it lol

[twin sand]

My mouse is currently stuttering and feels weird when I do rapid side to side movements or quickly switching targets, only in warzone tho, on my desktop home no stuttering whatsoever. I have a wireless model d.

Also my sens feels soooo inconsistent, it'll speed up then slow down

Randomly

[vivid sage]

my monitor is capped at 120hz despite it being a 144hz monitor I play on laptop, and it doesn't have a displayport cable, but I have a 1.4 hdmi so I can support 144hz and have in the past, but for some reason, valorant is the only game that doesn't let me use 144 hz

[neon rapids]

I think Val only runs 120

[vivid sage]

Doubt, that would be cringe lol

[lean frigate]

I doubt 24 Hz makes a big difference, also you sure you don't have frame cap on in settings?

[vivid sage]

I’m not slow but no I have all fps caps turned off

And it doesn’t effect how I play, I just have OCD LOL

[mortal glen]

ayo how do you delete themes in kovaaks and save changes to made themes

Hey does anyone know why my 165hz monitor only show 143hz?

[quasi forge]

Cause you didn't turn on overclock in your monitor settings?

[ancient cave]

I don’t got that setting

[quasi forge]

what's your monitor

all 165hz panels are 144hz panels with an option to overclock to 165

[ancient cave]

lg ultragear 24gq40w

[quasi forge]

ok, i couldn't find the oc feature in user manual, assume it's enabled by default, do you use hdmi or display port?

[ancient cave]

hdmi rn but i just ordered a display port yesterday and it should be here by today

[quasi forge]

hdmi can't go higher than 144hz 1080p, i'd wait for your dp arrival, connect monitor using display port then see if it's working on 165hz

[ancient cave]

alright thank you i didnt know that hdmi can only go up to 144

[quasi forge]

np, hope that was the case, anyway, if problem persist you can ping me and we'll see if anything else can be done

[inland loom]

i suddenly get ghosting on targets in kovaaks, i havent changed any settings and this hasnt happened before

any idea how to fix this? edit. the issue went away on its own after playing some apex?? :D

[ancient cave]

@quasi forgejust got it and it works thanks 👍

[pearl moss]

i have the same issue but im pretty sure some monitors require hdmi 2.0

my desktop is also capped at 120z at a 165hz monitor

[vivid sage]

I made a custom refresh rate in Nivida control panel but I just want it to work

[lime rampart]

When playing Apex my system CPU usage in Task Manager is 20%, is there a reason for this?

[gilded creek]

doesn't sound bad to me

it uses what it needs

[lime rampart]

Sorry I worded that HORRIBLY

I meant in task manager, "System" is using 20% CPU, on top of Apex and everything else

[gilded creek]

yeah ik

answer remains the same

if you change nvidia reflex to + boost

it'll use more

chrome takes a lot if u have it

also depends on how good ur cpu is

[lime rampart]

i7-9700k

I think that's food

Good

yea it has 8 cores

its good

Anyone have a monitor recommendation right now my current monitors are both 60 hz monitors I bought when I first started gaming

[minor socket]

2522hg

Or g24f

[wide wasp]

Any reason you didn't include asus vg259qm? 🤔 just curious since I'm looking to get away from my viewsonic XG240R(144hz) to buy 240hz .

[minor socket]

It's cheaper

For me last time I checked

[echo spade]

259qm/279qm is solid

if ur not EU u might also be able to get xg2431 for an ok price

and if u can, do so

its goat 240hz

[wide wasp]

I assume the only difference between these is that other one is 27" while other one is 24.5"

[echo spade]

mostly

they have some differences regarding overdrive and the panels r slightly diff

u can go look at comparisons on rtings

but theyre the same performance effectively iirc

i have vg279qm personally

[wide wasp]

Doesn't it feel odd having 27" 1080p ?

[echo spade]

no

anyone who says 27" is worse than 24" or whatver is an idiot

1080p will always look like 1080p

raw pixel density for a given dimension doesnt matter

because you can sit further or closer

27" can have the exact same perceived pixel granularity as 24" if u sit further, and the same in reverse

within reasonable sizes, just get whatever display performs better

[wide wasp]

Guess it's one of those things you just kind of get used to pretty quick.

[echo spade]

i prefer 27" because i can sit further away

people who have less desk space might prefer 24"

or those who want like 3+ monitors

rlly just get whatever performs better or is better value etc

[junior sorrel]

Is a 5ms monitor bad?

[gilded creek]

no

[junior sorrel]

Alrighty thanks because I just bought a 165hz 27” acer monitor for $119 and it said 5ms and wondered if it would be bad

Or noticeable I should say

[gilded creek]

keep in mind

5ms is 5 miliseconds

also most monitors have an OC version where you can get lower than that

[lean frigate]

The response time is all fake anyway, most monitors that advertise 1ms are actually around 5-10 ms

[summer flare]

I'm waiting for the PG27AQN, but no news yet.

[grand rune]

there’s no way you can humanly notice few milliseconds

Any TKL keyboards someone can recommend? Price isnt much of an issue but I'd rather not spend a lot on something that's just slightly better than a keyboard that's half its price

[silk harness]

It’s easily noticeable to me

Gsync adds a couple milliseconds of delay, but I can instantly tell when it’s on or off

[silk harness]

Apex Pro TKL for sure, it has very low latency as well as adjustable actuation points. It’s on sale on Amazon at the moment

[minor socket]

No wooting two he tkl

😭

[silk harness]

I didn’t even know Wooting had a TKL. The 60HE seems to be really good as well

[minor socket]

Nah they dont

What I meant

[hazy axle]

latency isn't something that people should be talking about anymore when it comes to keyboards

[grand rune]

they only had tkl with flaretech switches

[minor socket]

No analog tkl

[grand rune]

flaretech are analog

Oh lekker is hall effect

[inland loom]

if i have a 165hz monitor should i upgrade to 240hz?

[wind sail]

anyone know why highscores arent showing up correctly on the leaderboards, i got a 90 in 2020 but doesnt show on leaderboard

[lean frigate]

Depends, can you get 240fps in the game consistently? Is the resolution a issue? Price?

[thin kiln]

lbs have reset a couple times in the past couple years

[wind sail]

okay, so nothing i can do?

[thin kiln]

dont think so

[minor socket]

Nope

[wind sail]

ty for the help

[minor socket]

2020 was before reset

[wind sail]

ahh dang

[inland loom]

i can typically get at least 180 depending on the game, and around $240 is the price of the one i was looking at

[minor socket]

Is it a not shit non gen 1 monitor

[lean frigate]

There's no point getting a higher hz if you're not getting that much fps

Lol I can't read, didn't see the at least, can you link your current monitor and the new one?

[inland loom]

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Compatible-Refresh-Optix-MAG2732/dp/B09PF9LFGG current

[lean frigate]

Quite a low end 240 Hz

[inland loom]

what makes you say that?

whoops i think that may be the wrong one, the one i was looking at has a 1 ms response time

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-27-odyssey-g40b-fhd-ips-240hz-1ms-g-sync-gaming-monitor-black/6507926.p?skuId=6507926 this should be the correct one

[lean frigate]

The panel is a old Va, and the response time on those are quite bad, also the color accuracy is bad as well

This one is better

[inland loom]

sweet thanks for the input!

[lean frigate]

Oh it's a new one, so the panel should be a newer nano/fast IPS

[inland loom]

so would you say its worth the upgrade?

[minor socket]

Tfw 2522hg

[lean frigate]

Really depends on if you really need the refresh rate, I can't currently check color accuracy cause it's new but I assume it'll be equal or better to your current one. If you think 240 Hz is important for you, sure, it's a good monitor.

Should I use 800 or 3200 dpi or does it not matter really?

[golden river]

Depends how fast you want your mouse to move

[rancid plover]

wich one of this monitors guys u think is better , Asus VP249QGR or Asus Vg248qg

[summer fossil]

Guys, does someone know a great 60% mechanical Keyboard?
-QWERTZ Layout
-nothing above 80€

[grand rune]

i had the anne pro 2 kailh box red for about 3 years, no complaints

@summer fossil

[grand rune]

they seem really similar feature wise, probably just get the cheaper one

[fresh bay]

1600 or 3200 is recommended

[summer fossil]

Many people told me that it's great, but 110€...
I'm getting the RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK61

[grand rune]

nice, i got mine for about 80€

[lament shell]

any optimizations that really can make a difference

i have 1080 and i9-9900k

So uh I live in a desert and it's 41°C or 105°F and it gets higher often, what can I do to keep my mouse's battery from getting #owned

[thick copper]

I have a Ryzen 5 5600 with the stock cooler and I ran cinebench and Ryzen master to the cpu temperature. after the 10 minute test it maxed out at about 90c. Is this normal. I assume it's not. How do I fix this?

I'm not overclocking btw

[lament shell]

get a better cooler

or not installed correctly

[winter belfry]

@orchid raven what happens to the battery exactly?

[minor socket]

Ryzen stock coolers work

Not work well

[thick copper]

so thats a normal temp for that cooler?

[winter belfry]

Does your PC crash?

[thick copper]

no

it seems to work fine

[winter belfry]

Those stock coolers come with thermal paste already on the bottom of the fan but sometimes it's not great

If you were stress testing and it went up to 90 that can be okay but if it's above like 75 most of the time its not great

[thick copper]

ok

[orchid raven]

idk i just think high temps for lithium batteries are bad

i will just keep my house cool 👍🏾

[hasty pasture]

wasnt really sure where to post my question but, im moving and need a new desk does anyone have any recommendations for a desk.

[grand rune]

ikea desks are really good, i got some cheap oem with motor and it’s also pretty cool

[worthy mesa]

normal for stock amd cooler

as long as you're 70 C° and under on games you have nothing to worry about, cinebench not really a good metric for temp

[thick copper]

I get 82c in overwatch

[hollow hill]

i dont really know where to ask this question so ima ask here
if i click on browse to choose the kovaaks stats folder in the google sheets updater it shows me an empty stats browser
if i click on properties -> local files -> browse on steam it shows me excactly the same folder but with all the stats in it
i dont really know how i can fix this

[wide wasp]

Just browse -> choose stat folder and click "select folder" and it should work.

[zinc crater]

anyone know why my progress sheet updater instantly closes after running it, it can read the stats but closes instantly and doesn't update the sheet

[twilit geode]

check debug.log and look into pins

if it isnt there just send it to me

[zinc crater]

it was the stats file path, for some reason when i copied the path from steam local files it worked?

[uneven pilot]

anyone know why the vt bounceTS scenario seems to override the sky texture to be grey?

it makes it very difficult to use my current target color lol

https://xaizone.eu/display-scaling-guide

@inland loom

set it to either aspect or no scaling, your monitor will take care of stretching the image

just read the guide, it should be fairly easy to follow

[gilded creek]

i dont have display mode or picture format on my osd

does that mean i can't do it then

or wot

its vg279qm

[grand rune]

i’m trying to find a picture of the osd, i checked multiple monitors and it was on every i checked

benq, asus, lenovo, philips

[gilded creek]

its asus

[grand rune]

try going in picture or input

[gilded creek]

i have this too

you mean inputvfreq?

[grand rune]

just normal osd menu

[gilded creek]

there isnt anything about input or picture

is there an example

[grand rune]

keep in mind this might not be beneficial on some displays, some monitors have really bad scalars

and if you play games on native this serves no purpose

you can try setting it up and switching to lower res and then going through osd, maybe it’s hidden when you run native

[gilded creek]

aight

[grand rune]

benq: display mode, philips: picture mode, lenovo: scaling, i don’t have asus near me, but similar to this

[gilded creek]

is this a decent result for mouse tester

on w10

[fresh bay]

needs to be more zoomed in to be able to tell i think

[gilded creek]

yea it is

did 1000-2000

ill try again

[fresh bay]

those spikes u get are really annoying im trying to figure out how to get rid of them too, i think it might just be cuz of power related stuff tho

[gilded creek]

yea idk how to completely get rid of it

[fresh bay]

this is what i mean

[gilded creek]

isn't it too zoomed out, people told me to do it in a 1000 range

or so

[fresh bay]

dont think it matters

[minor socket]

Do it in a range with no outliers

[gilded creek]

aight

[fresh bay]

do those spikes not matter then?

[minor socket]

Also start left click inside the .exe not desktop

Since desktop is file explorer and shit likes to do the funny

[minor socket]

Pretty sure it's just your mouse doing the stupid with power states but idk

[fresh bay]

oh ok, thanks

[minor socket]

Also good is like

+- 0.5 iirc

[fresh bay]

i mean i suppose good is subjective, but damn that is insanely difficult to achieve probably

[gilded creek]

like this?

[gilded creek]

pretty sure that requires w7 and that sucks on its own

[fresh bay]

yeah this is 100% your mouse's power saving garbage

[minor socket]

Probs but idk

[fresh bay]

i can vouch, unoptimized w7 definitely isnt as good as i thought it would be

after trying it i definitely think it's worse than optimized 10

[minor socket]

Nice 2600 spike

[gilded creek]

i think im in as good as it can get situation without messing up something

for 6 core system

[minor socket]

Idk

[fresh bay]

do this from 4500 to 5000

[minor socket]

Ima just run it with my s12s when I get em

For the meme/vine

[fresh bay]

how trash is it that i have my router right next to my pc?

[gilded creek]

that doesnt matter

i dont think

[minor socket]

Uh

[fresh bay]

apparently routers give off a lot of efi or smth

[minor socket]

Go to lag and ask there

[fresh bay]

[gilded creek]

efi?

wot

[minor socket]

That'll be fun to not read

electro i forgot what, something to do with electro magnetic interference

[minor socket]

Aka people possibly on crack doing crack

[fresh bay]

calypto's?

[minor socket]

Idk

[gilded creek]

nah it literally doesn't matter

only things that matter

your hardware and what is plugged in ur pc

• drivers

[minor socket]

I'd say ask muren but he dipped again

[fresh bay]

people who are crazy about optimizing literally pay to have their entire house rerouted and make sure they're using a specific type of grounding or smth

or stuff like that idk

apparently the power/electricity u get matters a lot

[gilded creek]

optimizing is copium for being bad

[fresh bay]

true

[gilded creek]

but its fun

[minor socket]

Nah that's chill to what they do

[fresh bay]

but i dont play nowadays

lol

[fresh bay]

what do they do?

[minor socket]

Ya like floating pcs

Literally floating.

[fresh bay]

wth

[minor socket]

Cba finding but yeah

[fresh bay]

crazyyyyyyyy people

[minor socket]

I'm in lag just for help with prephs and stuff

[fresh bay]

is the community as trash as in every other tweaking server?

[minor socket]

Haha oc go brrr

[minor socket]

Probably

[fresh bay]

L

i hate tweaking servers with trash communities

[gilded creek]

my first day there and someone got mad at me for not searching the answers 💀

[fresh bay]

relatable

though admiteddly sometimes they do have a point

but not always

[gilded creek]

it was something that there was no way i could search

[minor socket]

I mean not surprised

[gilded creek]

i looked

not without being familiar with the discord

[minor socket]

Best advice is hit them with the just google it and gtfo

[gilded creek]

also searching can take longer

than asking someone who just knows

[minor socket]

Ig

Buy anyway

[fresh bay]

and tweakers who are crazy about optimization also read this kinda stuff https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/technical-specifications/extensible-host-controler-interface-usb-xhci.pdf

im getting cl14 ram this week

from cl16

will be nice upgrade

[fresh bay]

W

[gilded creek]

from 3k kit to 3.7k

[slow rock]

Could someone tell me why my aim is so shaky when turning my wrist to the right
but smooht on the left

[gilded creek]

#advice

[minor socket]

I'm on 3200 cl14

I still haven't bothered fuckin tuning it =/

[gilded creek]

yea its a 3.2k kit but can prob push to 3.7k

[minor socket]

I go die

[gilded creek]

2 sticks of 16gb

[fresh bay]

at least make sure youre gonna bdie

and not cdie

[gilded creek]

should i have the ram on 2 separate lanes

or two of the same lanes

like 1/0/1/0 or 1/1/0/0, 0 representing an empty lane and 1 representing where the stick will be

[minor socket]

3200 cl14 dual channel bdie

At like 14 14 14 34

Or 31 I forgot

[gilded creek]

is it g skillz tho

[fresh bay]

i meant cuz like u were gonna die

so make sure u bdie

at least

[minor socket]

idie

[fresh bay]

Ldie

[minor socket]

Flare X

[fresh bay]

Wdie

[fresh bay]

that ram is really ugly but so cheap from what ive seen

[gilded creek]

oh

im getting g.skillz

was like $212

[minor socket]

I am looking at the monitor not my pc

[gilded creek]

G.Skill Trident Z 2x16GB DDR4 3200Mhz CL14

[minor socket]

But fr tho it was budget so idc

[gilded creek]

currently have 3000mhz cl16

hopefully will be a decent fps boost

after tuning

[minor socket]

Love how I built this pc

And end up playing block games more than apex

When I built the pc because of shit like apex

[gilded creek]

im literally only optimizing my pc cuz of apex

just to have consistent fps

[minor socket]

Kek

[gilded creek]

if i played ow i wouldnt care

[minor socket]

Just uninstall it

Consistent 0fps

[gilded creek]

consistent w's

[minor socket]

My bank taking the consistent L

I really did ball a little much with the tenz drop but w/e

[fresh bay]

lmaoooo

[gilded creek]

any point of using process lasso, i only like it for setting specific affinities to programs that don't need more than 1 cpu or 2

like obs or something

[grand rune]

is it worth upgrading 3200mhz cl16 to 3600mhz cl14 on 9900k? checked some benchmarks and the performance seems negligible

[gilded creek]

im doing smth similar, 3k mhz kit to 3.2k cl14 on 5600x

pretty sure the latency is better and fps is like 3% better or so

[grand rune]

maybe when i build a new pc, don't think it's a huge difference

[gilded creek]

i think its better on ryzen systems

or amd

u should be able to push a 3.6k mhz kit tho

to higher

[fresh bay]

If these benchmarks are to be trusted there's a huge difference between the cl16 and cl14 ram

[gilded creek]

well

the way i look at it is like this, only better upgrade would be a cpu, but that would also be x2 the price, whilst ram can give nearly the same result for less

for the performance improvement it gives, its worth

[grand rune]

i was thinking of going 12900k itx build but dunno yet :D

[gilded creek]

i have a 3080 and 5600x

only upgrades for me is a new cpu

but its way more expensive

[grand rune]

i mean my 9900k is still completely fine, especially for gaming

[gilded creek]

yeah its good

[fiery meteor]

youtube benchmarks suck really when it comes to cpu+ram if you want a good idea on how ram affects gaming i'd check out kingfaris website

plus who buys a 3200 flat 14 kit and runs xmp xD

[golden river]

Does Muren still hang here telling people to oc their ram

[fiery meteor]

nah he left i'm very sure

[golden river]

I'll do it then

[fiery meteor]

lmao

[golden river]

You can probably oc your current kit and get about halfway there

[grand rune]

roger that captain

yeah i bought it cuz it fit in the budget back in 2017 iirc

[fiery meteor]

honestly i feel like ram is the most misunderstood component when it comes to pc gaming

[grand rune]

YES, i got no knowledge about it, i usually just enable xmp and call it a day

[fiery meteor]

so many people still convinced 3200 cl16 is perfect for 1080p gaming

[gilded creek]

I usually clock my shit manually, it does wonders

way better than xmp

im going from 3k to 3.7k mhz

i play on low settings so ram and cpu is mostly what i use

3080 5600x, all i need is good ram

upgrading cpu isn't that big of an upgrade

[eternal hornet]

How much of a impact does overclocking ram actually have?

I have 32gig cl16 3200 ddr4 and all I did was just turn xmp on and call it a day

Would a manual OC actually be that significant?

[fiery meteor]

should see some degree of performance increase but wouldn't expect much from a 3200 cl16 kit

especially if you're running 4x8 on a daisy chain board

[eternal hornet]

Yeah I assumed so

Is DDR5 any good for speed/latency over ddr4?

[fiery meteor]

nope

[eternal hornet]

What would be the best possible out of the box ram to buy right now

3600 cl14?

[fiery meteor]

honestly maybe patriot vipers 4400 flat 19 kit

cost like 90 pound in the uk

unless you meant in a scenario where money isn't a problem

wait nvm i just realised you said out the box xD

[eternal hornet]

Yeah no like just buy and plug in

No manual OC

Money no issue

[fiery meteor]

yea i can't lie i can't think of an exact kit that comes to mind but there is some good gskill kits out there

but a 3600 kit with tight primary timings will be fine for xmp

[eternal hornet]

Gotcha

Going to build a new pc when the 4000 series gpus drops so that’s good to know

[fiery meteor]

nice man

[gilded creek]

will receive my new ram in next few days

will see how well it does

[fresh bay]

from what ive heard, good ddr5 kits beat ddr4

[eternal hornet]

I mean at the end of the day a .5ms or less difference in latency really doesn’t make a huge impact on gameplay lmao

Not gonna make me hit shots I wouldn’t hit otherwise

[golden river]

What mouse

[fresh bay]

stop using stock wincrap

i guess

stock = normal

wincrap = windows

that probably does nothing

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c2-lUJq74wuYK1WrA_bIvgb89dUN0sj8-hO3vqmrau4/edit

[urban shuttle]

Turn them off trough windows settings

If i remember correctly there must be Apps tab and there must be something like startup programs

@rotund oyster

[silk harness]

You can disable OriginWebHelper through Origin (and maybe Services)

[slow rock]

@inland loom wtf even is that?

[toxic oracle]

mine waa like that sometimes

havent checked since reinstalling

[wispy grove]

does anyone know how to fix gpro superlight skipping pixels?

1600

[toxic oracle]

that looks like the mouse has wireless connection issue

is ur dongle extender thingy close to the mouse?

[wispy grove]

i dont use that, I just have the usb thing connected to my pc which is like 3-4 feet from my mouse

[toxic oracle]

thats almost definitely why

[wispy grove]

how do I use the extender

[toxic oracle]

u plug the wire into pc plug the receiver into the rectangle thing plug the rectangle into the wire

unplug the rectangle plug mouse when need to charge

[wispy grove]

alr thank you

[sterile hawk]

people with 19x9+ cm hand sizes what are your favorite mouses?

make sure you don’t touch drivers tab unless you know what u r doing

[minor socket]

Just follow calyptos ggez

[gilded creek]

swapping to new RAM actually boosted fps a lot in OW

and latency is way better

using cl14 3533 MHZ atm

until ow2

[gilded creek]

na ow 2 is good too

do i disable delivery optimization

im getting high ping spikes in game out of nowhere and loked in task manager

wincrap optimization I guess

+w7

• you shouldn't do this it was with very little or no security updates

[toxic oracle]

u could try max dpi lmao

[silent glade]

i dont understand how kvk performance works

i got a pretty powerful laptop rn, equivalent to a desktop with 3700x/5700x and 3060TI but i cant get more than 300fps stable

anyone with similar desktop specs get higher performance?

[toxic oracle]

whatre the exact laptop cpu and gpu specs

[silent glade]

5900HX + 3080

[toxic oracle]

gpu wattage?

[silent glade]

165

[toxic oracle]

wtf

[silent glade]

ye

thats why the performance lines up with a desktop 3060ti

[toxic oracle]

i have a 10700k and 3060ti desktop i think i can get low mid 300s consistently

165 is high for laptop i mean

[silent glade]

yeah

[toxic oracle]

y do u need 300+ fps tho

[silent glade]

i wanna lock it at 330

i have a 165hz display

and it doesnt feel right

[toxic oracle]

oh

[silent glade]

since it fluctuates a bit

[toxic oracle]

if the laptop has any like gpu power saving anything

using an external monitor might get u to 330

[silent glade]

it has a mux switch so an external monitor isnt required to get full performance from the GPU

but yeah tried it with an external monitor and its still barely 300

[toxic oracle]

could just use lower res scale by a bit if u need the fps

it's not thermal throttling right

[hushed belfry]

uh is there any recommendations for like cheap-ish ultra-light wireless gaming mice (i dont really need a lot of RGB), ones that are not insanely expensive maybe under 50%?

[silent glade]

nah, its surprisingly good for a laptop even

like 70 max on cpu, gpu in low 60s

[toxic oracle]

how tf

low 60s gpu

what is the laptop

kvks is like insanely gpu limited at higher fps

[echo spade]

U probs have some power limit on gpu

[silent glade]

limit is at 165, something like rdr2 pushes that limit

kvk draws a bit higher than 100w

[silent glade]

Legion 7

[ancient swan]

Folks! Been playing with the G502 Logitech mouse for a while, but looking for a new mouse since I have been wearing this one down. I have a mouse with a wire, is there a big advantage to a mouse without a wire? And is there a mouse that is way better then the G502 I could be looking at?

[toxic oracle]

is gpu usage maxed in kvks?

pretty sure with that cpu it should be

[inland loom]

mice recommandations for small hands (wireless)

[silent glade]

nope

this is the overlay.
CPU usage-CPUtemp
CPU Clock-CPU PackagePower
GPU Usage-GPU Temp-HotspotTemp-GPU Power

[toxic oracle]

tf

u could try showing cpu for each thread

and see if maybe it is single thread limited

[gilded creek]

laptops have a ton of power saving features

if you want to maximize the use of it

get the software and put it to full power

also go to power plan on windows

and just set everything to max performance or just get ultimate performance power plan

[silent glade]

ive made sure of that

[gilded creek]

also make sure latest gpu drivers, nvidia control panel settings etc

make sure it's not an fps cap somewhere

by vsync or gsync if u have it, or smth else

[silent glade]

both disabled too

[gilded creek]

are u able to go into bios if so make sure xmp is enabled for the ram

and try and set the gpu to GEN 3 if possible

example

is the issue only in kovaaks

or anythin else

[silent glade]

I think val should average more than 220-230fps

[toxic oracle]

is the laptop new

"yes"

like how new

"a week"

[gilded creek]

with 3080 yes

[silent glade]

its a laptop still

[toxic oracle]

just make sure all cpu threads are under 100% usage

before trying too many things

[gilded creek]

laptops suck but hardware is hardware

it should still act as a 3080 if it can handle the heat

[toxic oracle]

3080 laptop apparently is same bin as 3070 desktop

but lower power

[silent glade]

yeah

which lands it at like 3060TI performance

just off timespy scores

[gilded creek]

dam laptops are a scam

[toxic oracle]

10 inch thick non scam laptop

still his gpu isnt the issue

[silent glade]

you obv wont get desktop performance in this package

[toxic oracle]

like for kvks even at 250 cap my gpu is higher usage than his

[gilded creek]

yeah ofc

[silent glade]

ye btw changing res to 1600p has 0 effect on the fps, gpu usage just climbs like 20%

[toxic oracle]

check cpu thread usages?

if a thread is maxed then gg but i feel like none should be at that fps

also i have no idea how val fps works cuz i can lose a ton of fps without my cpu or gpu usage increasing

or decreasing

they just stay low and ill sometimes drop under 200

[silent glade]

Currently in val, there is one maxed thread

[toxic oracle]

unlucky

[silent glade]

ye its weird

its just acting like a laptop without mux/optimus

its not my laptop so i cant experiment with it too much

[toxic oracle]

whats cpu speed in game

[silent glade]

but on my actual laptop im getting the same performance

[silent glade]

4.4-4.5

[toxic oracle]

maybe it just is cpu capped then

singleplayer aaa laptop only

[silent glade]

lmao

the AAA performance is so impressive

[toxic oracle]

maybe it can even run apex

i feel physically warmer whenever i think about a laptop running apex it's actually kinda annoying

[silent glade]

i run apex capped at 165

sustains it pretty well

actually some time before it never even dipped from 165

[toxic inlet]

changing to smaller ITX cases, for the RTX 4090, will that be compatible or will cause too much heat for an ITX case?

[trim parrot]

well

his ram is running at 2400mhz

maybe he should enable xmp lol

wait nvm

this a ss of sum elsa

else*

[minor socket]

Depends what case

And if the 4090 even fits

[toxic inlet]

if i get a good one, u think it will stay cool? @minor socket

[hollow grove]
