Not my issue, those are what you need.

💀

[gilded monolith]

anyone know why when i load up doom eternal on steam it just gets stuck ona loading screen ?

[hasty sierra]

Just adding some extra info here.
They have a 1650 Super. They have already verified game files and also checked if their iGPU was being used over their dedicated.

[sacred basalt]

wait

[hallow crypt]

I am wondering about that too. Cause it would be nice to get a code for consoles if one doesn’t have a disc reader

[night idol]

Its Disk only on Console. Only PC gets a code

[hallow crypt]

For the collector’s edition, yeah.

[hallow crypt]

But I am just wondering why not a digital code for consoles for collector’s edition. Is all.

[hasty sierra]

I hate one companies do one over the other tbh

especially digital code only

[fiery atlas]

? Elfhosted

[deep dagger]

Should i buy flex psu 1U

It seem will be smaller to fit 2 bracker gpu

[candid cape]

I am playing the super gore nest master level extra life mode on ultra violence difficulty in doom eternal. And I got to the final battle on the game before destroying the gore nest. Now it's infinityly spawning imps and not letting me continue the game. How can I fix this without having to reset the mission.(I died and lost all my progress)

[finite badge]

optimize ur device

run it in 800x600, then u could try to use lossless scaling, and maybe it could work, just maybe

[deft dragon]

I will not be able to play Doom: The Dark Ages on my 1080ti😭

[prisma wasp]

F.

[deft dragon]

i'll just put it here ```

Planned obsolescence, cards need to be sold, shareholders needs to be happy, economy go up.

The only way to do that is planned obsolescence or an actual leap.

Better gameplay systems don't sell cards, better graphics do.

Well what if you can't make better graphics?

You make a "tech" that's only available on new hardware.

I'm not saying RT is bullshit, but they didn't do an alternative for exactly this reason.

It's not optional for a reason and fanboy crusaders are here to shame and crush the dissenting oppinion.

"It's been out for six years"

Remove the RT and even older cards can run it.

Tired of pretending this has nothing to do with capitalism and big tech corporations needing to make more than before.

[night plaza]

Honestly? It's kinda that plus wanting to get out of work. Especially with Unreal.

RT and Path Tracing cuts out a need for a bunch of hand placed lights, baked in light and shadow maps, also dlss and frame gen reduces the need for optimization ..

Devs want to do less work and not only get paid the same but more along with the huge corporations behind them. Reduce dev time = more products out the door sooner while reducing the dev costs while they get paid more via wanting to charge 100 dollars for a base game.

"Digital distribution will drive the costs of games down" remember that lie? Now we all but lost physical games and the price is going up not down for games we can't even own a copy of...less you buy it on GoG. Anyway thats a side tangent.

Theres no doubt path traced games can and do look better but the acompining software technology like frame gen, shouldn't be used as a crutch to get out of a bulk of optimization work . Which is how it's likely predominantly used. Not to mention what it does to image quality. There's games 10 years old that look on par or sometimes better than a lot of AAA releases.

Idk. Personally, I just want my physical media back. Heck, they could put doom the dark ages on a official themed USB drive and let people own the copy they purchased again. This didn't hurt a damn thing prior to steam , it didn't stop piracy, it didn't make games cheaper on the consumer end going all digital distribution and being granted (after retail sale) a mere arbitrary license suspendedable at any time for any reason.. why are we doing this again?!

I'll pay 80 or even 100 bucks for physical releases, complete with full color manuals etc like they used to do. Give me physical games I can own again I won't complain about your RT requirements and Frame gen shortcuts! Lol

[tall mason]

Does anyone know how to fix the glitch where the gunpletionist trophey on ps4 edition does not pop even after mastering all guns. I believe I used the IDCFK Cheat for a little bit but idk what to do

[deft dragon]

As far as i know, nothing, any cheat == No achievement.

[wide relic]

Will Doom the dark ages run on my friend's 2060 laptop? Or complete crap and unplayable?

[prisma wasp]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/870542904140128347/1334387193501712414/image.png?ex=67a63baa&is=67a4ea2a&hm=84c7828535c21436e14ec62e9d2ee8aa0d328ca79343d5bc55f8d31d7cd5c4f4&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=732&height=412&
Does it meet these requirements?

[wide relic]

No.

It says it needs a 2060 super desktop and it a 2060 laptop is even slower than the 2060 desktop.

[prisma wasp]

So the laptop has a base 2060, not a 2060 Super?

Also a 2060 in a laptop uses the same chip as a full desktop 2060.

[rotund abyss]

guess i need to upgrade

[signal mica]

When I open Doom Eternal, I get the message "incompatible driver" and the game closes. What can I do?

[night idol]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/782330/discussions/0/4417550166393898691/ maybe this could help. Dont know which GPU you have

[hybrid anvil]

Hey guys. I wanted to play Doom Eternal on my RTX 4090 laptop before the release of Dark Ages. I installed it yesterday.

But I am experiencing severe crashing. It runs silky smooth at around 250FPS for a few minutes, and then just shuts down. I remember playing it on my 1050ti without any issues, 4 years ago. I have tried every setting. Any solution will be greatly appreciated.

[olive dawn]

do you think I could play the first Doom on this?

[drifting blade]

The person to start the "can it run DOOM" meme must be really proud

[candid cape]

Hey guys I want to open a new app while playing doom but I can't get the mouse out of the game screen any solution?

[hasty sierra]

Which game? If the older titles, which source port?

[candid cape]

Doom eternal

[hasty sierra]

Alt Tab usually works

[candid cape]

I tried alt tab didn't work

[hasty sierra]

Check if it's in borderless, I guess?

I don't have Eternal installed atm so I can't fully assist

like maybe you could pull up task manager to trick it?

[candid cape]

Alright 👍 will try later

Thanks for the advice

[hasty sierra]

I sorta doubt it'll work but it's worth a try

[merry magnet]

got a question, has anyone been able to install doom resurection in anything yet? am trying to install the files on a jailbroken iphone 4s with ios 9,3,5

[torn elm]

youll be fine lmao, i doubt theyre gonna force DLSS or RT, so your raw performance is going to be alright, its the same as a 2060 super

[torn elm]

firstly

1. When was the last time you updated your drivers?

2. Is your laptop plugged to a charger when playing doom?

3. Check if your resolution isnt too high (trust me, a 4090 on a laptop only performs half as good as an actual 4090)

4. Enable DLSS if nothing else works

[torn elm]

just use win + d together and itll take you back to the desktop screen

[torn elm]

@tame oyster hey lets talk here

[tame oyster]

It's getting late and I'm going to sleep we should talk tomorrow 👍

[torn elm]

sure, cya tomorrow 👍

[hasty sierra]

It’s already been hinted at it will be. At least with my interpretation with the Direct showcase, RT will be used for more than just the lighting and actually used as a replacement to detect bullets. On top of that a 2060 Super is the minimum required card for the game.

Plus the fact the older gen consoles have been dropped, there’s literally zero reason for developers to have to be stuck on older hardware.

[torn elm]

I feel like tbats weird because if RT is mandatory like Indiana Jones and the lost circle then AMD would be dropped entirely which isn’t happening either. So if raw performance is all the way went…the 1080 ti does perform as good as a 2070 let a lone a 2060 super

[hasty sierra]

… you know AMD cards can do raytracing, right?

[torn elm]

They can

But their RT cores are far behind in complexity and design than nvidia cards are

[gritty oak]

Im worried about my cpu underperforming, I don't know much about computers, but a i7-11800H is decent right? (Along side a 3070)

It ran Doom Eternal like a dream before my laptop slowed down from age and a ton of use

[torn elm]

when was the last time you updated your drivers

[gritty oak]

Recently, like 2 months ago when it started slowing down

[prisma wasp]

It's a solid CPU, even by todays standards. A lot of the slow-down can be due to windows bloating itself over time, it could also be a cooling issue, or storage might be starting to slow down due to age, but the CPU itself should still be pretty strong.

I'd recommend giving your fans a blowout, in case it's simply slowing down from heat, using crystaldisk to check the speeds of the drive (Slower drive speeds than what the drive is meant to be capable of can be an indicator of a dying drive), and maybe look into doing a completely fresh Windows install.

[gritty oak]

I've cleaned my fans, but crystaldisk and reinstalling windows is new. I'll try those. Thank you

[rotund abyss]

i currently have a 2070. do you think id be ok to use that to run dark ages or should i upgrade to a 5070?

[unborn walrus]

I would get the 5070 when it drops

[prisma wasp]

The 2070 would meet minimum specifications for TDA, though it might be worth it to upgrade regardless. The 5070ti goes on say on February 20th, with the standard 5070 available from March 5th.

[unborn walrus]

$549 ain't a bad price tbh

for the 5070

[prisma wasp]

I'm looking at about $1400 for the ti, but that's.. not too bad for AUD.

[unborn walrus]

what do you have atm?

[prisma wasp]

But I'm overhauling my entire system, and I can put the 3070 in something else, so I'm just gonna pick up an entirely new current-gen GPU.

[unborn walrus]

neat

[gritty oak]

Would it be worth trying to upgrade a cpu in a alienware laptop? Or should I just shelve it and get a better device?

[unborn walrus]

get a desktop

[prisma wasp]

Laptops cannot have the internals upgrade, except for storage and RAM.

[gritty oak]

Dang it, okay thanks

[tame oyster]

@torn elm ok so I gotta know which game monitor should I get if I want to play games that r like 4k, 720p60, 1080p60, coloring is good. Because I plan to play games from PS5, Xbox, PC. Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart has a setting where u can put ray tracing, performance.

[torn elm]

look, it depends on your budget, and if you even have a pc or a console to support it

[tame oyster]

I know it depends on budget but I'm probably gonna buy expensive stuff because I want to keep up with new games coming out. And honestly I don't know which game monitor to get that will allow me to play old PS2 and 3 games, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC

[empty patrol]

first PC build, and deadass, I dont understand PC stuff so sorry if the parts suck or wont work with eachother

its for GZDoom btw so i dont need super high end parts

ight thank you

alright

this case any better?

[weary tendon]

Or a RX 6400

Or not, nevermind, this one is too little bang for the buck, the RX 580 is better

[torn elm]

@empty patrol try getting this case, it has preinstalled fans and super easy to build in, the fans are based on the phanteks d30's which are considered to be some of the best pc fans on the market, and plenty of size and space to build in

correct, also if you can save that 25 bucks on not buying a cooler, then you could direct that into buying a 5600 new even since it costs 100 dollars give or take but has huge benifits

[torn elm]

Oh what, that didn’t load, sound advice on your part then

[broken dagger]

Hi all, I am having this strange problem in Doom Eternal in my new build, getting these regular CPU latency spikes that cause a stutter in game. 9800X3D with RTX3080Ti all latest drivers. I've tried many many things but can't get this to go away. Anyone ever dealt with something like this? Thanks

[broken dagger]

Video is pretty bad, but hopefully you get the idea?

[torn elm]

this video is super low resolution, however, did you run a bios update when you installed the new cpu?

[broken dagger]

Yes, it was a new build on a MSI X870E Carbon WiFi mobo and I installed the latest Bios (A23). Have also checked all other drivers and they are up to date. At the moment I feel there is a hardware fault either with Mobo or CPU, have already tried different RAM and PSU

[torn elm]

Try running a cmos reset then

[broken dagger]

Thanks, have tried that as well, but may try again by fully removing battery

[torn elm]

Ah alright

[broken dagger]

An update in case this might help anyone else, I enabled ultra low latency in Nvidia control panel and it's running perfectly now, no stutters and stable FPS

[vast forum]

Hello, I recently got Doom eternal on steam
First run went fine but the next day when starting i get a blackscreen , i tried everything online to solve it and nothing works. (I am on a laptop connected to a monitor) , if i disconnect the monitor the game works on the laptop, but when the monitor is connected it doesnt start up and just freezes my screen

[night idol]

Can you check, if this problem is on another game aswell?

[vast forum]

no other game

only on doom eternal

It has something to do with my monitor but i have no idea why , first time i played it runned flawless, i set all graphics to ultra and textures to nightmare, ive read somewhere that for some people running on higher settings causes this, but i dont understand why it would

now when i try to run it, it shows the loading thing in the bottom left, shows 75 fps in the top right corner, and freezes black, only way to move to another window is to ctrl alt del and end task

i hear the music tho

[vast forum]

so update if anyone has also encountered this, i disabled nvidia overlay and set it to windows 7 compatibility

this didnt work before but now it did?

[ornate forge]

Hello I remember playing Doom Eternal around maybe 2020-2021, but dropped it on like the chapter after you unlock BFG or on the chapter you get it. I got all unlockables on all the maps before that and played on nightmare. I still think I have my save on PC but it wont register on my Doom Eternal game. Does anybody know of a way to either import a save from a specific chapter online or from here, how to fix this or do you just recommend playing through the game from the beginning (incl dlcs).

[quaint copper]

La caca

Wait which is better. The 3060, 3080, 3090 or 4060 :d

Im not good in thus

[candid cape]

Well I got a Evga 3090 ti so I choose that 1.

[torn elm]

the 3090

and its not even close

[torn elm]

incredible gpu

[quaint copper]

oh k

wrong reply mb lmao

[torn elm]

all good, but, theyre very expensive right now, are you looking to build a pc?

[hollow mango]

what´s better a SSD and a Nvme or just a Nvme?

[hasty sierra]

depends what you're doing with your computer

[hollow mango]

Play and maybe edit some videos, i have been running a long time with just a HDD, so it's time for an upgrade

[hasty sierra]

maybe just an NVMe?

[torpid cypress]

hello hello. wondering if anyone can help cause I can't see anything online. I have a 3080ti, i5-13700k, 32gb ram, 165hz 2k monitor and I get this very weird and ugly shaders/textures artefacts. tried the following:
disable HDR, match refresh rate and fps, clean driver install, vsync on/off, messing around with graphic qualities. This doesn't happen in any other game

[sharp vale]

Well, artifacting is usually a sign that your Graphics Card is on its last leg, but the fact that it doesn't happen on any other game rules that out. Another offender could just be that your game install itself is botched or something, However, even though I haven't played the game before, from the bulk of the weapon and the general surroundings (plus the little bit of sky poking out from the left side of the image), I don't think that you've just started the game, which means it can't be a botched install, else you would have reported it earlier. In other words: I am unable to help, I am sorry for wasting your time.

[torpid cypress]

lol thanks for that. That is actually the first level. I guess I'll wait for Dark Ages since Eternal is a bit too HC for me 🙂

[sharp vale]

Hey, maybe you could have a look at the Snapmap I made today?

If you want a look at it, here's the code: TY5DAE8N

I feel obligated to send this aswell

[torn elm]

did you run DDU for the driver install? If you have another drive on your computer try using it on that, it could be due to bit decay on the current SSD

[torpid cypress]

No, I used NVCleaninstall

but I'll try that. @torn elm thx

[torn elm]

All good, do try DDU

[whole vale]

Does anybody know if it's possible to remove the meat hook and lock on burst reticle? I've already lowered the hud opacity. Cheers!

[winged shard]

yo howd you do that

[clever marsh]

bigger number better performance

[quaint copper]

Yes, bigger the number, higher the pricer 😭

[clever marsh]

ah

[quaint copper]

Xd

[clever marsh]

I’d say go for above 3090 and below 4060

[quaint copper]

When i get enough money i will build my own pc

Im going to get a, 4060, 2 ddr5 64 gigs, Ryzen 7 7800x3d fans yes,

And new case

The problem is i dont have enough money yet

[torn elm]

???? dude

[torn elm]

dude, please dont get that config, you'll be wasting a lot of money

get a 3080 or a 3090 but a 4060 is a waste

also you dont need 64 gb of ram for gaming, for other stuff yes but not gaming, id say save that money and put that 100 extra bucks into your gpu

[quaint copper]

Oh. Im not good at those stuff so the higher the better? And my budget is 1000$ and idk what to get

[hot estuary]

i need help with doom eternal, i genuinely cannot get past the first level on pc, everything runs fine and i can actually beat the level and get to the end no problem, but once i pick continue on the results screen, it just says "saving please wait" and then it all freezes except for the music

i verified the game files integrity on steam, that didn't fix anything

[torn elm]

you have $1000 for the entire pc or just for the gpu?

[gritty oak]

Not me who just got a 4060ti thinking I did good 😭

[torn elm]

ooooof

you shoulda consulted a tech enthousaist my guy

[gritty oak]

I finally got a upgrade though so im happy

I asked for assistance in a lot of places and no one would really give me advice,I decided to go for cheap and upgrade later

[torn elm]

ah i see

when did you buy it? and what were you upgrading from?

[gritty oak]

I got it Friday, pre built pc from best buy

[torn elm]

ah okay, what are the total specs m8

[gritty oak]

The 4060ti ofc, i7-14700F, 16 gigs of ram and 1tb ssd, for $1,300

[torn elm]

not bad actually, not bad

USA right?

[gritty oak]

It was on sale from $1,800 so im happy, and yes USA

I upgraded from a alienware x17 r1 with a 3070

I7-11800H (I think)

[torn elm]

oh?

you may not notice much of an upgrade, apart from the cpu of course

[gritty oak]

Oh no, it's been massive. I had a lot of issues with the laptop

[torn elm]

ah

[gritty oak]

I don't think it was pasted correctly or something, heating issues like crazy

[torn elm]

you should change your thermal paste every 6 months or so

[gritty oak]

I had it for 4 years 💀

[torn elm]

oh boy

you got a good deal though, is it liquid cooled?

[gritty oak]

It was impossible to do though unprofessionally, I was watching the Salem technician or whatever his name was and his advice was "don't do it" lol

[gritty oak]

It is, the temps are nice

[torn elm]

alienware laptops tend to be overbuilt so i get it, i broke a panel connector on mine completely on accident, and ive repaired pc parts and gpus

[gritty oak]

As a newbie I was overwhelmed, I picked that thing out when I was 15 and should have done research other than "OOHHH PRETTY"

[torn elm]

define "nice" please, just trying to make sure its actually in a good range

[torn elm]

honestly, i totally get it, its nice to focus on aesthetics every once in a while

[gritty oak]

I don't remember exactly but I know it hasn't been over 170, at least everytime I check

[torn elm]

170?

[gritty oak]

Temperature highest I've seen it at was 150°F something, i was stressing it out though and my room is hot. Got some fans going and it went down.

I rounded up because it was jumpy, at the same time though I could have it confused with something else because the alienware control panel is goofy and switches a bunch. (It was a alienware rebuilt lol)

[torn elm]

id suggest you do this:

1. Go to youtube and figure out how to download msi afterburner
2. Check your temperatures in games

(for example, this is the overlay i have in all of my games)

[torn elm]

thats still fine lmao

[gritty oak]

My dyslexic butt probably read it wrong, it hasen't felt hot at all

[torn elm]

this is important to do so that your chip does not degrade over time

[torn elm]

well, your not gonna "feel" it getting hot, moreso experience the consequences

[gritty oak]

Okay

[torn elm]

like, over time youll notice crashes, and less performance

[gritty oak]

Coming from a laptop that could cook eggs i beg to differ lmao (im used to the laptop blowing hot air everywhere it's nice not having that) the new pc blows cold air out the front

[torn elm]

if your temperatures arent kept in check

[gritty oak]

I really wish I took better care of my laptop, this last year I finally bought a stand to keep it off the desk and I should have started with that

[torn elm]

ahhh okay, i see what you mean lmao, congrats on the new pc tho! i dont mean to sound like a debbie downer, its just that i help in repairs and whatnot so i wouldnt want you to have any issues whatsoever

[torn elm]

its alright m8, just take care of this pc

[gritty oak]

I appreciate any help, thank you. I'm sorry if I came off as rude I was trying to be funny, re reading what I sent looks mean

Im definitely downloading the afterburner, thanks for that

[torn elm]

nono absolutely not, you didnt come off as rude at all, but absolutely check afterburner, your pc is ready to handle the dark ages for sure

and hey, if in the next 2 months you can get enough cash to spec out a monitor, id say go for it lmao

[neon flume]

Is there a video or something demonstrating because I am kind of struggling to pull it off

[slate brook]

but not sure

[neon flume]

Should I ask in 2016 chat?

[slate brook]

ye most likly

Thinking about taking a simpler source port and porting it to Ruby in a “will it run doom” kind of way. Anyone got suggestions on where to start?

[gritty oak]

How bad is this for my PC airflow?

[warm girder]

absolutely will not cause any issues

your lego might get warm, though.

[gritty oak]

I saw a Lego melt the other day on reddit I might should think about that lol

[quaint copper]

atp ima just buy a prebuilt pc with a ryzen 7 9700X Rtx 5070 64 GB DDR5 6000MHz 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD

which is 2k total

[torn elm]

Just build your own pc my guy, it’s more cost effective and it’s also more fun

[quaint copper]

nah im not that good at building

[torn elm]

No one is initially, but a pc is like a car, you’ll feel proud of yourself that you did, also prebuilt pcs really do tend to be scams since they either use bad/slow ram and storage OR they use low end motherboards with badly branded power supplies

A 2k pc can be amazing if you make it yourself

[quaint copper]

e

well yesh but i want this one

i found it on Nzxt so im not sur

[torn elm]

Oh Jesus please don’t buy that lmao, nzxt prebuilts suck, their stuff (other than cases) are flimsy and break.

How bout I make a list of parts for you, and you can have it made by a tech shop near you. It saves you cash, and time

[quaint copper]

sur

i was going home from school and saw a tech shop with a 4090 in it today

[torn elm]

Oh jeez

[quaint copper]

shall i get it or go for the 4060, 70 or 80

or the 4090 \

[torn elm]

I sent you a list, it has the 5070 in it, without the 5070 it has about 800 dollars worth of GPU you can fit in there, so if you can find a card that’s better than the 5070 (like a 4070 ti super) then get it. It should be about 800 bucks

But obviously 4090 is the best card out of all of them, don’t get a 5090 yet. It has safety issues

It’s in your DMs if you were wondering

[quaint copper]

okkk

[granite river]

Ok, I pretty new to this Discord.
I'm also a PC noob.
Will my current PC be able to handle DooM The Dark Ages.
See below picture for specs, yes it's a pre-built...

[hasty sierra]

Maybe?

[prisma wasp]

CPU doesn't have enough cores/threads but the GPU is good enough for Minimum.

[olive geyser]

All the 9070xt GPUs were out of stock and 150$ more so I got this

[torn elm]

Niiiiice

[torn elm]

This should be fine, your cpu and GPU are fine

[torn elm]

The cpu is actually also fine, the 3700x is the minimum requirement. A 5600x is a very decent budget cpu and should run the game

[prisma wasp]

Negative. Core count is too low on the 5600X, 8 cores is a requirement, 5600X does not meet that.
They need to upgrade the CPU to an 8-core chip or they're simply not playing TDA.

[torn elm]

I hope he can still squeeze by with a 5600x tho, despite the core count not living up to it. Since the 5600 and the 3700 perform the same

Maybe if he makes a custom built instead he could put a 5700x3D in there to get him comfortably in the clear

[prisma wasp]

It's doubtful. Core count is pretty important and if it's not up to par, it simply won't function.

I'd also highly recommend just getting a base 5700x; the 3d runs slower than the stock, both base and boost clock, as well as uses significantly less power.

[torn elm]

X3D runs lower than stock because the x3D series are primarily made for gaming, allowing for the 5700x3D to have substantially better performance than the 5700x

If this pc is strictly gaming, 5700x3D is the way to go. The extra V cache really helps with asset loading

[torn elm]

Yeah that’s true, the only way I think he could get away with it is Bethesda decides that logical threads are more enforced than actual core counts. But even then it’s gonna have problems

[prisma wasp]

Eh, the performance difference is negligble and really isn't worth an extra $50 for a shit chip.
Base is fine, zero reason to go for the x3d, standard overclock is going to perform better in the long run; x3D's have a much higher chance of shit silicon.

Either way, they're looking at a new CPU.

[torn elm]

Based on every benchmark I’ve seen the 5700x3d averages about 20 fps more than the base model in games, with a max of 35 fps more. And…as someone that repairs pcs….they’re fine tbh, getting a shit bin shouldn’t matter as long as they’re not running PBO or undervolting or anything…which they probably won’t be.

But yeah, new cpu

[granite river]

Thanks for the input

I'm looking into getting a better CPU.

[torn elm]

on your current build?

[sick marsh]

will my 3060 ti be able to run the dark ages at 1440p

[tame oyster]

Hey I heard that next gen Xbox is coming out 2027, if it does should I wait or get the series x

[torn elm]

It will run but not very good, I’d suggest enabling DLSS on performance mode to get the most fps possible, what’s your monitors refresh rate and your cpu?

[sick marsh]

144 hz, intel i3

[torn elm]

What specific i3? Can you check by going into task manager -> performance -> cpu

[tame oyster]

Which brand is better for gaming: Razer or Logitech. In terms of mouse, keyboard, webcam, etc. Or should I look for a cheap and affordable game mouse and keyboard that last long.

[torn elm]

how cheap?

[tame oyster]

I don't know like 50 - 70 bucks

[torn elm]

for the mouse AND keyboard?

[tame oyster]

Yes. For webcam I'm thinking razer kiyo.

[torn elm]

wait so, is 50-70 bucks for the keyboard and mouse and webcam combined or is webcam a seperate thing?

[tame oyster]

Seperate

[prisma wasp]

Depends. Is it the 8 gig card, or the 12 gig card, and do you meet the other requirements for 1440p, such as 32 gigs of RAM, and an 8-core/16-thread CPU?

[tiny lily]

give me models to compare

because as brands in general theyre both good id just go with logitech bc i prefer the look

im just thinking abt mice though idk how their other peripherals stack up

[tame oyster]

I have no idea. The only brands I can think of r good r Logitech and Razer

[prisma wasp]

Honestly? Logitech. Razer quality is abysmal and their software is garbage.

Logitech will last a hell of a lot longer.

[orchid belfry]

Im not gonna contradict you about Logitech, but I do not know any other software as feature rich as Razer, maybe Corsair with iCUE, but I have been using both Corsair and Razer stuff for the past 6-7 years and neither disappointed that bad as much as people are complaining

[tiny lily]

wait omg its offtopic i think ive seen u on reddit

[orchid belfry]

Yes sir, I was active these days, but I dont have this username, what thread did you see?

[tiny lily]

i dont remember but ur pfp's kinda familiar

[orchid belfry]

Yes, its my cosplay

But I do not have this one either lol

[prisma wasp]

Out of the 200+ people I've spoken to, maybe 3 of them have said they've had good experiences with Razer.

Generally the build quality is easily among the worst ever seen, and the software is broken, buggy, barely functional, and while it may have many feaatures, it doesn't fix the fact the software is coded so unbelievably badly, you'd think it was made in less than 30 minutes.
iCUE is probably the better option, but Corsair mice are large, where-as Logitech mice are simply far, far superior; significantly better wireless performance than anything else on the market, incredibly long battery life, and better weight customization than pretty much anyone else on the market.

People can certianly buy razer but it's a 70/30 chance you're either getting lucky with a razer product that might've actually been built well for once, or you're getting garbage that's dead in two months tops. It's just safer to go for pretty much any other brand.

[orchid belfry]

fair enough

maybe im just too careful with my stuff, I've heard stuff about PS5 controllers or switch drifts, never had a problem

[prisma wasp]

Potentially; I haven't had any issues with controllers because I simply don't use them. I think the only issues I've ever had have mainly been pretty much anything from razer, or one of EPOS's headsets, which pretty much solidified never using either.

Used to have a naga for WoW, and then mid-Mythic it completely died on me nearly 3 months after I bought it, picked up another because I needed an MMO mouse, and it lasted just as long.

I'd honestly say for a good mix of incredible mouse quality, and never really needing to ever use software, Logitech's G502X is probably the best mouse on the market.
Incredibly low minimum DPI, insanely high maximum DPI, ridiculously good sensor, a few extra buttons, two for DPI, and two for forward/back in browsers, or using as push-to-talk keys, and if you get the wireless version, you have up to 120 hours before needing to recharge it.

Insanely good mouse, little expendy but honestly, insanely worth it, it'll pay for itself.

[orchid belfry]

Yeah, I've been told similar things about Logitech, no negative feedback whatsoever.

[tame oyster]

So I should go for Logitech. I'm thinking I should go razer for only a webcam.

[torn elm]

the ti is an 8 gig card

[torn elm]

honestly same here

i own a viper v2 pro, the only razer item ive been daily driving, honestly its been fantastic so far

[prisma wasp]

There's both an 8 gig and a 12 gig version.

12 gig they can do 1440. 8 gig? No chance in hell.

Also they said they have an i3, and lol that's just not happening, period.

[torn elm]

the 3060 ti specifically is an 8 gb card

[prisma wasp]

Yes. Again, there are mutliple versions of the 3060ti in 12 gig.

Either way, they're not pushing 1440p.

[torn elm]

i am yet to ever see a single 12 gb 3060 ti. But for 3060, there are 12 gig models for sure

[prisma wasp]

CPU is far too weak for such resolution, and given they have an i3, I doubt they have the good version, so they'll probably have the 8 gig card which means they don't meet VRAM requirements for 1440p either.

[torn elm]

correct, 12 gb is reccomended

unless they want to specifically run on the lowest possible settings

[prisma wasp]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't buy i3's.

[torn elm]

i3's are really not that bad

idk why people dog on them so much, like, yknow theres other numbers after the i3 too right? like generations?

[prisma wasp]

They're fine for anything that isn't heavy operation. Browsing, youtube, emails, sure, go for an i3. Anything beyond that? Get an i5.

[torn elm]

they do pretty well for gaming too mate

[prisma wasp]

i7 if you want higher end, i9 if you have the money to burn.

i3's simply aren't it, especially if you're trying to push 1440p. 1440 is minimum mid-to-top end i5.

Even more-so if you want good settings.

[torn elm]

Nyx you do know the difference between this naming scheme right?

[prisma wasp]

I'm quite aware. I3's exist because they don't have the silicon to match higher end components.

[torn elm]

at 1440p youll need a good gpu to back it as much, cpu tends to matter less and less as the resolution increases

you become very uh, gpu limited, but regardless of that, the 3060 ti is really going to struggle on 1440p

[prisma wasp]

They're the bottom end for a reason; they simply don't perform to the requirements you'd need for 1440p. They're not pushing 1440 on an i3, that's just not happening.

The GPU's enough for 1080, if they want 1440 they're looking at a new GPU and especially a new CPU; either mid to high i5, or an i7.

[torn elm]

a 13600k is an amazing cpu surprisignly lmao

i5's across the board tend to be amazing, even the 12400f

[prisma wasp]

It is, very good chip. I will never, ever willingly say people should be buying i3's however.

[torn elm]

bad expereince with em?

[prisma wasp]

Consistently dogshit chips.

Across 10 different generations they've had the absolute shittest performance, zero capability in lasting more than two years without running into severe issues with them being just bad chips.

I'm pretty sure Intel have outright given up on making i3's, either because their build process has improved to not have such weak chips come out, or because they don't care to build such low end chips because it isn't cost effective anymore.

At minimum, even for budget systems, I'll never recommend someone buy anything less than an i5.

[torn elm]

they do in fact, have the least amount of active sectors lmao

[prisma wasp]

Even the lowest end i5's still demolish i3's in pretty much everything, and the price difference is so negligible it isn't worth not going for an i5.

Granted, I also firmly believe people should spend good money on their first system, because spending to have it last for 5-8 years is far better than buying a new part every year or two, but alas.

[torn elm]

well, yeah, the instruction level parallelism really does prove to be better

also i5's tend to be the sweet spot for cache hierarchy for budget especially

[prisma wasp]

I'd always recommend if people were on a budget, either the 12400 or the 12600K.

Or whatever Ryzen equivelant there is, I don't really look at AMD.

I guess it's the 5600X that'd be a 12600K equivelant.

though the wraith is.. gross, to be nice.

[torn elm]

yknow this reminds me of the whole 14th gen debacle, a majority of the problems came from little kids buying 14th gen i9's for 600 dollars and never bothering to open the bios and actually tune their cpu lmao

[torn elm]

no, 12600k out performs, great cpu

[torn elm]

dont tell the twitter goblins that lmao

[prisma wasp]

"nooo you have to love amd!" bite me.

[prisma wasp]

That checks out tbh.

[torn elm]

"intel is shit because my video games run at 3 less fps"

at that point just get a console lmao

people spend 400 dollars on the 5800x3d when the 5700x3d costs like 200 and performs only 5 fps less

[prisma wasp]

Also this. I saw so much "14th gen is shit!" and they're throwing them in cheap shit motherboards they got for $70 and basing that as their "proof" that "Intel is just getting worse!".

[torn elm]

im currently running a 14700k, honestly, top class, tho a 14900k obviously is king in that department

[prisma wasp]

Meanwhile, everyone I know that bought a 14th gen chip already had a strong motherboard for it, and they had zero issues.

I'm only on a 13700K atm, upgrading to an Ultra 265K at.. some point.

[torn elm]

"i wonder why my b760 cant handle an extremely high powered chip with an air cooler"

[prisma wasp]

Highkey annoys the shit outta me when people don't check what they need for components, and just buy whatever is the best then pick some random motherboard.

[torn elm]

id say hold off on 15th gen (i hate the new naming scheme), wait till 16th, theyve done amazing in the efficiency department for 15th gen, allowing for laptop users to have up to 8 hours of battery life, even with an i9

[prisma wasp]

Told a friend that wanted an i9 if they bought a cheap motherboard I'd pipe bomb them.

[prisma wasp]

Fair tbh. I think by the time I get around to buying parts anyway, 16th'll be out so it'll work out better that way lmao.

[torn elm]

theres this really large consensus that motherboards dont matter when it comes to gaming for some reason. yeah maybe on the very budgeted end but....

[torn elm]

ah yeha

[prisma wasp]

It genuinely frustrates me, because people go on rants about "oh this gen is bad because [x reason]", you ask for actual benchmarks from them, and it's either userbenchmark shit, or they're just using shit combinations.

"I bought a 4090 and it runs like shit, this is why nvidia is a scam!" meanwhile, they're using it on a 3.0 PCI-E slot.

[torn elm]

hahahahaha yeah oh my god dude ive seen that happen a lot

theres this other cope chamber where people think that nvidia and intel have bad business practices but amd is like a godsend for some reason

as if AMD literally didnt make the 7000 series gpus (RDNA4) suicidal to begin with

and as if the 9000 series cpus arent just repackaged 7800x3ds

[prisma wasp]

Genuinely the people that parrot "AMD is perfect in every way!" are the people I cannot stand the most.

Was talking to someone about Intel's B580 cards, and how they were fantastic options for budget, and some AMD fanboy turned up saying "Nah fuck that buy a Radeon card" based on nothing other than "AMD is better."

I don't hate AMD, they make solid shit and competition is good, but my god does that company have the literal worst fans.

[torn elm]

im in a lot of tech servers, and i have to deal with so much AMD cope honestly, its like getting a voluntary lobotomy

[torn elm]

fr lmao

[prisma wasp]

There's no nuance to comparing things, it's just "amd better" and it's fuckin irritating.

[torn elm]

if they spend as much time arguing how amds pricing is better on discord as they did literally just working a few extra hours of their job, they could afford an nvidia card

[prisma wasp]

Fucking literally lmfao.

Anyway, I'ma stop bitching about AMD and actually go do something with my afternoon. Have a great whatever time it is for you!

[torn elm]

You have a good day too, haven’t had a good AMD bitch sesh in a while

[torn elm]

exactly lmao, its a very impressive chip but gamers dont like it because "new gen needs moar fps"

though, the 15th gen i9 has the best cinebench score ive ever seen out of a consumer gpu, derbauer made a video delidding the 15th gen and it got like 50k in cinebench or something stupidly high like that

thats a shame, i thought windows liked intel

regardless tho, new tech, more efficient, im all for it

hmmmm, i suppose so

yeah they've managed to make it easy for OS devs and game devs with their architecture, and zen5c does also perform better than intels E cores

and with slightly less L3 cache

nono you're right, and you were clear i was just adding to what you were saying

yep

i still do like the big.LITTLE design if im being honest tho, i dont know if its the fact that i like having larger execution units, or the better branch prediction, or if im just biased. or maybe a little bit of everything

well, also cause of AVX-512 support

basically its just Vector Processing for aiding in video editing, encoding, and AI

yeah exactly lmao

yknow its actually a pleasant surprise that people in a DOOM tech channel are more well versed than actual tech servers

refreshing to talk about actual tech instead of bullshit video games all the time

yeah fr lmao

unfortunately, the community has changed

and for the worse, now all they do is read off of techpowerup and call it a day

whatever happened to looking at pin blueprints

i aint saying its bad, im just saying they skim the website and just regurgitate what they read, not what they understand

it definitely costs a few hours of sleep and a lot of digging to find pinouts for stuff thats even a couple years old

oh yeah framework

that shit linus keeps trying to promote lmao, jesus christ hahaa. Poser central

fr, have you seen their latest pc? all the marketing is about it being a 3000 dollar mini pc with 4060 performance but "HEY ITS AN APU SO YOU GOTTA BUY IT" and all the customizaiton is basically sticking magnets to the case

thats it

basically just Apple in disguise

atleast apple doesnt shy away from forcing you into their ecosystem

yeah true, having a pinout loses its value if its about some hyper niche connector that you might aswell build on your own

its good for repairs, but not when those repairs are braindead

well i wasnt gonna spend the downpayment of my car on this shitass pc, but NOW, that makes it worth it

like, how much do they think they're going to get away with on this

similar scenario with intel 14th gen (idk how i looped back to this topic but here we are), like when they were catching shit because of poor default LLC settings and thermal saturation in the silicon substrate, literally everyone was dogging on them even though the microcode Tau was fixed a few months later

but when AMD's RDNA4 architecture has MCM desings that lead to DVS issues and high stall cycles, and not to mention the suicidal nature of Infinity Fabric's insanely high voltage requirement. Nobody bats an eye.

what a disaster

well, thats definitely a silver lining, im thinking of buying either a zenbook or a zephyrus G16 for my parents, beacuse they could care less about any of this copius shit. They care about peripherals, including an OLED display, cool temps, long battery life and good speakers

yeah RDNA4 is really weird, despite it being a monolithic design, the core clusters are huge, so are the SEC's. So theres a lot of intra - GPu scheduling issues

oh yeah the Acer 185h, i have a buddy that owns one too, no issues so far

yeah its just that intra - die IF causes a lot of VRM strain, and also has to run at higher clocks to counter the intra die latency issues. Plus the cheaper RDNA4 manufacturers use really crappy polycaps, instead of MLCC's like high end Asus and Galax gpus do

oh holy shit i thought you were joking, i forgot that Vega had the exact same compute units as the 9700xt

hahaha holy shit

if your talking about the 9070xt, i think thats because for some reason they dont have proper power gating yet, and cause it relies on GDDR6 more than infinity cache

wtf lmao, is he legally allowed on planes

ah okay

oh... hmmmmm, i mean in theory you could just cut a hole through the bottom.. and through the pcb (cough cough)

https://tenor.com/view/cry-gif-13328108869509964634

oh you're going pure workstation huh?

[hasty sierra]

They’re apparently removing them

[torn elm]

me when im going to make an educated purchase but linus tech tips/Jayztwocents/Gamers Nexus/Zach Tech Surf/Meta Pc's/ Marques Brownlee tells me to follow the newest hypetrain

https://tenor.com/view/yes-sir-gif-18835091

yeah the 10750h is a good laptop

[torn elm]

i heard that too

Yeaaa

I don’t, i have to still deal with people regurgitating their babble whenever I have to help repair something or reccomend hardware

Phawx eh? I’ll give him a look, the only competent guys I’ve seen are derbauer and hardware busters so far

Interesting interesting

Hey thanks man, you’re fun to talk to aswell. I’m in pchelphub mainly. And the other ones are just tiny cope chambers I go to sometimes

I don’t think I’ve had an indepth conversation like this in legit months

Really? It’s got 100k members

Oh god buildapc, fuck that place with a passion

Yeah they are, I had some “tech advisor” tell me that some bullshit Chinese SSD was the same as a 990 pro Becuase of the read and writes. Despite the IOPS being literally 1/4 of the 990 pro

Jeez, good decision man, you can get lucky occasionally. I was friends with a chip architect I met there. He’s a nice guy, knows a lot

Ooooof, you should defo look into getting an sn580 blue if your on a budget in the future, it’s sturdy, and it’s got good firmware

Ah I see, for mobile storage hmm? I’ve been looking into monitors as of recent, OLED is actually quite fun to look into

Hydrocarbon semiconductors are really really fuckin cool

Really? It only costs 50 bucks yknow

Really? You think so?

I mean I won’t disagree they’ve kind of devolved it into just a marketing term but really?

Honestly I personally don’t care about the power consumption at all lmao. I installed solar in my house when solar was dirt cheap and now it’s basically free electricity

The pixel response time and ghosting is literally perfect tho.

Cause it’s individually lit and uses a current carrying pure electron signaling instead of just yknow, liquid crystals

Yeah it’s definitely a bit wonky tho, your right, that’s why there’s that huge fuckass heatsink on the back of the panel lmao

Oh yeah, it’s as much as a low end cpu

What?…. Oh wait I’m thinking of SLI voltages haha

With V sync or just normal fps capping?

Very solid actually

Thank Christ, v sync latency is atrocious

Hmmm yeah, a 12900k would be a great upgrade

Yeah, well, aren’t most games single thread tho?

Oh I just said 12900k so you don’t have to change motherboards

Same, they stretch the crap out of the prices where I live

Oh yeah sorry, I forgor

Yeah, wouldn’t be worth it compared to a 13600k or an i5 15th gen. I am so hyped for 16 gen

i think theyll boost the performance off the 15th gen and use it as a good stable base with low power draw

of course, i mean in terms of raw fps tho

honestly im not sure how to feel if intel gets rid of the dedicated e core, i do like big.LITTLE architecture

if they could use the stable and efficient power delivery of 15th gen with high fps i think i could start reccomending 16th gen to new builders again

yeah? you think so?

hmmm true, thats true, plus asus has this funny thing called advanced OC profile, where it boosts your p cores alongside your e cores in tasks and games and burns the fuck out of your chip

yeah man see you, it was really nice talking to you, refreshing. Have a good lecture!

[river night]

Question: upgrading from RTX 3060 12GB to RTX 4060 ti 16GB worth it?

[torn elm]

It depends, how much are you getting the 4060 ti 16GB for? And for what monitor resolution

[tame oyster]

Hey wat should I buy to recharge a Xbox series x controller and PS5 controller

[torn elm]

Just use a standard type - c cable

[tame oyster]

@torn elm so I should never buy battery packs

[gritty oak]

My friend bought me a official xbox battery charger and its awesome, i havent had to charge it in like 2 weeks

It fits inside the original thing too so it doesn't stick out or look bulky, I just have to plug in my controller and it charges the battery itself. Worth the $20

[tame oyster]

@gritty oak wat kind of battery charger is it u have an image

[torn elm]

For what specifically

[tame oyster]

@torn elm I want to buy a good charger that will last long either to charge battery packs or controller. Also to charge Series X controller and if it can charge Xbox Series X Wireless Controller.

[torn elm]

Ah, well idk about those specifically mate, I’m sorry

[quaint copper]

i have enough moneh for 4060, shall i swap my 1060 for it or save for 4090 lol (i have a ryzen 7 2700x)

so does the 4060 does good performance with a ryzen 7 2700x?

[torn elm]

you will be cpu bottlenecked

if you do have the budget for a 4090, you should get a 9800x3d and a 4070 ti or something, instead of getting a 4090

[quaint copper]

What does it mean

[torn elm]

cpu low end

[quaint copper]

Oh

[stuck cobalt]

@orchid holly

what gpu do you have

[orchid holly]

for some reason when i play doom 2016, this happens

[boreal dagger]

Yeah I do think that's pretty odd

[orchid holly]

regular cpu dips that align with my whole pc slowing down
anyway enough info time for more info

[orchid holly]

rtx 2050
not the best not the worst

[stuck cobalt]

what are all your pc specs

[boreal dagger]

Typically peaks are where performance drops, not so much dips

[stuck cobalt]

because it could be a overheating or a general power issue

or your pc aint powerful enough

[orchid holly]

32 gb of ram, you can see my cpu there,
what else

[hasty sierra]

more than likely a PSU issue

[stuck cobalt]

yea thats what im thinking

[hasty sierra]

though, usually flucuations in the PSU lead to whole system shutdowns

[boreal dagger]

Maybe it's time to upgrade? Get a better power supply?

[stuck cobalt]

how many fans do you have?

[orchid holly]

i am on a laptop

[boreal dagger]

Oh jeez

[stuck cobalt]

uh

[orchid holly]

majority of things are non negotiable

[boreal dagger]

Maybe replace the battery?

[hasty sierra]

[insert my rant on why laptops are bad]

[stuck cobalt]

yea thats why

[orchid holly]

the graphics card cannot be changed, nor the cpu

[orchid holly]

i know
i wish i didn't have to rely on them but we have no SPACE

[stuck cobalt]

not only are you using a 2060 but its the mobile version

[boreal dagger]

Laptops are useful imo

[orchid holly]

if that was the issue presumably this would be happening with every game

[stuck cobalt]

yea your laptop likely just aint powerful enough for DOOM

[orchid holly]

i've ran doom eternal on HIGHER graphics settings just fine

[stuck cobalt]

not every game demands the same stuf

[stuck cobalt]

hm

[boreal dagger]

Peculiar.

[orchid holly]

it works
and it WORKED on my first playthrough
its just started doing this recently

[stuck cobalt]

very strange

[orchid holly]

in fact on my first playthrough i had only 8 gb ram and it still didnt do this

i only recently upgraded to 32 (which was massively fucking needed)

[stuck cobalt]

does it only do it with DOOM 2016 now or has it started with all games

[boreal dagger]

Curiouser and curiouser

[orchid holly]

i should probably test that

[stuck cobalt]

and are you attempting to run this game off an external drive?

[orchid holly]

actually wait no it doesnt because ive played helldivers 2 between play sessions and it didnt do this

[boreal dagger]

Odd

[stuck cobalt]

if youre running off an external hdd or even external sdd thats why

[orchid holly]

i'm not

[stuck cobalt]

this is a strange situation

[boreal dagger]

Odder and odder, curiouser and curiouser, how very interesting

I'll ask around in some circles of mine

[stuck cobalt]

how much storage do you have left?

[orchid holly]

i'm so confused and frustrated because i wanted to 100% the game on ultraviolence but this is

[orchid holly]

AAA gaming is eating my hard drive alive but

[stuck cobalt]

tbh im a little lost here if everything else runs fine but DOOM im not sure

maybe its just DOOM id say try completely removing it and re downloading it

[orchid holly]

i thought maybe it might be a setting i turned on but i'm really not sure

[boreal dagger]

It might be a file thing? Maybe verify file integrity

[orchid holly]

and i'm still so confused by the cpu thing

i think it's like
for some reason it goes to only using 11% when it needs to be using 50% in that moment
but the question is WHY

[boreal dagger]

That is very odd

[stuck cobalt]

and this only happens with DOOM 2016 not a single other thing?

[boreal dagger]

I'm gonna say restart the puter to see if that works 💀

[orchid holly]

nothing else

and wait i shouldve mentioned this sooner
this started happening after an extended play session

[stuck cobalt]

did you download the damn game from viruspackedgames.org cuz wtf kinda shiz

[boreal dagger]

Hm

[orchid holly]

fully legit steam download

[stuck cobalt]

you said you have 32gb of ram

[boreal dagger]

One mate of mine suggested a driver issue

[orchid holly]

then that's just weird because
i havent changed drivers since the first time i played

yet only now the issue is beginning to show up

[boreal dagger]

When was the last time you've updated them?

[orchid holly]

a few months back

[boreal dagger]

Maybe check that out 😭

It might be a cooling thing too

When was the last time you cleaned out your laptop?

[orchid holly]

one moment
it was on the day we upgraded the RAM

around feb 26th
possibly the 27th

[boreal dagger]

Maybe check if the fans are clogged up, there's a possibility that there's something there

[orchid holly]

if that were the case i'd assume it'd happen on something that was more intensive than 2016 like helldivers 2
but it wasn't

[boreal dagger]

It might be a recent thing, looking at some forums it's kinda just telling me that there's a form of thermal throttling going on

[orchid holly]

the last time i played hd2 was yesterday and this issue has been happening since before then

[dusk plume]

have u tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

[tame oyster]

Hey any gaming desks I recommend that can support PC and consoles, cable management, follow by 2 monitors, similar to Magnus pro

[torn elm]

are you looking for a standing desk?

you can try a mojo desk

[tame oyster]

A desk that gamers use. But it has support PC, consoles, monitors, cable management

[torn elm]

well, if im being honest with you any standing desk with cable management thats sturdy is a "gaming" desk

tho why not just go for the magnus pro

[gritty oak]

When I put my monitor on 1440p the screen shrinks, how can I fix this? 2160p works fine I'm really confused

[tame oyster]

@torn elm u know wat and I may regrett his but I'm gonna wait out for Xbox 2027 console. Because if I buy the series x and the new Xbox is better with backward compatibility, more memory...well 😩

[torn elm]

because you're running at a lower resoltuion, and it reduces the screen size in order to preserve sharpness

id say run DLSS or FSR to have the same performance but with similar sharpness

[torn elm]

Honestly, it would be better if you got a pc

[tame oyster]

@torn elm I prefer PC and console because I want to play old games from PS2 and PS3 like Ratchet & Clank Series, Sly Cooper, Call of Duty Series

[torn elm]

Which one do you prefer more? Pc or console?

[tame oyster]

@torn elm both

[torn elm]

Which one do you prefer more

[shell fulcrum]

is rx7700tx gonna be able to run doom tda?

[quaint copper]

Idk probably

[prisma wasp]

Yes.

[tame oyster]

@torn elm I prefer console more but the reason I want to try PC is because I want to buy games on steam and perhaps Xbox game pass and PlayStation

[gritty oak]

Is a faster hdmi cord a good investment? Like a display port cord?

[dusk plume]

100%

[prisma wasp]

If your monitor has DisplayPort, yes. If it only has HDMI, there's no reason to buy a DisplayPort cable.

[tame oyster]

Isn't a display port cord better than HDMI for gaming

[prisma wasp]

If you have the port on the monitor. You cannot use DP in a HDMI port, they are two different standards.

[torn elm]

yes

very comfortably

[torn elm]

okay, if you were to buy a new pc, how much would your budget be?

[shell fulcrum]

Ty i was wondering if it could because of ray tracing needed for tda

[torn elm]

I don’t think Ray tracing will be an absolutely mandatory factor, however even if it is, your GPU is already above the requirements so

You don’t gotta worry

[tame oyster]

Don't know

[torn elm]

has it been?

thas gonna be a bit of a pain in the ass for amd users, especially considering their mesh shaders and ray accelerators arent very developed

[torn elm]

oh wow interesting

yeah it might be because of mesh shaders and BHV acceleration

[torn elm]

The ray accelerators are pretty basic

So they’ll work but just, not great

Bruh don’t delete your message I look schizo now

[torn elm]

yeahhh

all good

[gritty oak]

Can someone recommend me a cheap display port cable? I dont trust all these random ones on Amazon

[prisma wasp]

Does your graphics card and monitor have a display port port?

[gritty oak]

My pc does so I'm assuming my graphics card does, and my monitor does too

[prisma wasp]

You need to be certain, it has a very distinct connector.

[prisma wasp]

Id recommend checking your graphics card ports to see if you actually have the ports available to you.

[gritty oak]

It's has both

[prisma wasp]

Does the monitor?

[gritty oak]

I just dont know if it's connected to the graphics card or motherboard

Yes the monitor does

[prisma wasp]

It should be connected to the graphics card regardless.

Anything by alogic is good.

[gritty oak]

It's a rebuilt, Alienware Aurora x16, with a 4060ti

[gritty oak]

Thank you

[prisma wasp]

My condolences.

[gritty oak]

Condolences? Why sympathy? I'm not trying to be rude im just really confused

[prisma wasp]

Alienware has a notoriously abysmal track record.

[gritty oak]

Oh, well I've been using Alienware for like 5 years and haven't had any real issues that weren't my fault. I like the brand even though they dont have great support. It's me and my sisters favorite because we love aliens

[prisma wasp]

If it works, it works, but i cannot in good conscience support it.

[torn elm]

@gritty oak the real problem nowadays with Alienware in terms of desktop pcs is that it’s overpriced, however if you already own it you have nothing to worry about. Just be careful about your next purchase of pc, hopefully it’s a custom built

[torn elm]

What specific monitor do you have?

[gritty oak]

Acer XZ270 X

I want to use it on 1440p but it won't let me, it shrinks the screen and I can't find a way to fix it

I'm stuck with 1080p and 2160p

[torn elm]

Wait the monitor that you told me is listed as a 1080p

Not a 4k

[gritty oak]

Huh

Okay im confused hold up,

No you're right

Wtf im so confused what did I buy lmao

When I first used it, like first time out of the box and hooked up it was on 2160p, I thought it was 4k

[slate brook]

💀

[gritty oak]

I'm new to this idk what im doing 😭

[slate brook]

yea well so am I

I'm saving for a pc

right now

[gritty oak]

Don't make my mistakes

[slate brook]

I already know what monitor t get

only thing Ion know is what gpu to get

I'll just see what I should get then

[gritty oak]

I got my monitor before my pc not doing any real research

I was a Lil stupid

[torn elm]

All good mate, just go to settings > display > advanced display

You should see your monitor model

[torn elm]

Your saving for a custom pc?

[slate brook]

ye, Imma save like 4k for the pc

[torn elm]

4k???

[slate brook]

for the whole thing

[slate brook]

4000 euros

[torn elm]

Oh you mean, monitor included and peripherals got you

[slate brook]

ye

[torn elm]

When do you think you’ll save enough?

[slate brook]

a year from now I'll have the money, I'm in college and I have a new laptop so

I also do not care what it looks like, I don't want rgb or anything

[torn elm]

Oh, yeah dude, don’t worry about the tech specs right now at all, think about this stuff 2 weeks before actually buying it

Prices change all the time, and new models come out. No point in racking your brain over it

[slate brook]

ye and I got friends that know more about it

also do I need a aio for 9800x3d

[torn elm]

No you don’t, but it would look cool and keep your cpu cool

But in a year you probably won’t even be thinking about the 9800x3D

[slate brook]

there will be a better one? I mean most likely, but it still would be a good cpu

[torn elm]

It would still be a good cpu yes

[slate brook]

or do u mean the price

[torn elm]

I mean performance, till a few months ago the 7800x3D was the “best” gaming cpu

[slate brook]

yeah but I'm not going to get the next best one, or maybe I will

[torn elm]

Who knows dude lmao, just wait till you have everything saved up, then we talk

I can make you a 4k euro list rn but it would be a waste

[slate brook]

ye and I have about the idea

on what to get

[torn elm]

I assume it’s just for gaming right?

[slate brook]

I also were thinking that I'd get a 2k oled monitor, but after seeing the prices I was like hell nah

I have a 8K oled tv for wathching stuff

and I got a laptop for other stuff

[torn elm]

You can get some for 600 bucks

Honestly it’s worth it, OLED 2k gaming monitors are actually perfect

I ordered one for myself, it should get here in a few days

[slate brook]

first of all I'm in Finland and second of all the higher hz ones were 1300

[torn elm]

They have 0 smearing or ghosting, 240hz and actually feel snappier than a 360 hz IPs or VA…also it’s OLED

[torn elm]

Every standard one is like 240hz so idk what your lookin for past that

[slate brook]

I know what oled is I hav been watching only oled for like 5 years now

[slate brook]

fml, is the monitors really that much more cheaper there

hol up I'll check real quick on jimms what the prices here are

[torn elm]

Sure

[slate brook]

ok I did find one thats 800 so umm The Good

[torn elm]

Yeah that’s a good price

[slate brook]

honestlly now I'm reconsidering oled

[torn elm]

Ideally

2500 : PC
800 : Monitor
200 : keyboard and mouse
500 : audio system

[slate brook]

audio systems?

also I gotta use wi-fi so theres a thing

[torn elm]

Motherboards come with wifi inbuilt

[torn elm]

Headphones + dac and amp

For the best audio experience

[slate brook]

ye but like extra things to boost it

[torn elm]

Like what things

[slate brook]

headphones yes and amp is pointless for me for some reasons, well not exaclty buuut

[slate brook]

like extra things my wi-fi can be pretty bad sometimes

[torn elm]

Then use Ethernet no?

[slate brook]

it's downstairs

[torn elm]

A dac + amp combo is very very good tho

[torn elm]

You’ll be fine, mobos come with good inbuilt wifi

Even the cheapest ones support upto 500 mbps

[slate brook]

yes but I will only be using headphones so

[slate brook]

but are there not things t boos it?

[torn elm]

If that’s the goal then, you should spend the money on an amazing pair of 500 dollar headphones

[slate brook]

sure

[torn elm]

They’re not great tbh, you should talk to your ISP

I want to get a dac and amp for my own pair of headphones, I’ve heard it’s legit like buying a whole new pair of headphones

[slate brook]

I mean right now I'm living with my parents so they would do the talking (I'm not moving out in a while)

[torn elm]

That’s alright

[slate brook]

nice

[torn elm]

Yup

[slate brook]

I litrelly get a free gym in this home complex (maybe not the right word) and my parents can cook really well plus 8k tv

[torn elm]

Niiice nice

[slate brook]

and my parents wanna move at some point so I might just keep on living here then

home is next to everything

best home fr fr

[torn elm]

Wow that sounds amazing

[slate brook]

it is, Finland best place (the rent is though like above 300)

but I mean the perks

and it's in a nice and calme place

but maybe I should not "brag" more about my life, people might get a bit angry, dunno though u also mihgt not want to hear me speaking about it more

[orchid holly]

i think i figured out what was causing so much heat

me laying an external keyboard over my laptops built in one

[boreal dagger]

Ahh

Makes sense 😭

[gritty oak]

Okay so my monitor somehow just fixed itself, I am now gaming 2160p with 120 fps. It just... fixed itself? Idk what I did lol

[tame oyster]

For dark ages I plan to play ultra 4k and I want to use GeForce Nvidia probably ROG 5080. But I don't know wat parts I will need when I build my own PC that goes with Geforce, got any idea

[torn elm]

What is your budget?

And when will you buy the parts?

[tame oyster]

@torn elm probably not like in 2 more years. Because I plan to save money on buying the new Xbox console in 2027 but it depends on wat specs it has.

[torn elm]

okay....so why are you planning 2 years in advance?

prices will be completely differnet in 2 years

[tame oyster]

@torn elm I want to know wat to expect in the future like wat PC parts, gaming monitors, console, will come out.

[prisma wasp]

It's really not worth trying to plan two years in advance.

We don't know what's coming out other than what we're told is on the table. We can make estimations, but it's never going to be enough to actually plan around.

[tame oyster]

@prisma wasp well first I need to save money. I posted the image of dark ages requirements and I plan on getting ultra 4k requirements

[prisma wasp]

That's fine, but like I said, it's not worth planning two years in advance because we don't know what'll be available in two years.

[torn elm]

dude, its a waste of time, dont even think about it

[tame oyster]

@torn elm ok so wat should I think about

[torn elm]

nothing, make money first

[tame oyster]

@torn elm yeah I know that, I wish there was a site as what PC parts r compatible with one another whether they r expensive or cost less

[prisma wasp]

There is, pcpartpicker.

[torn elm]

@tame oyster this

[tame oyster]

@prisma wasp hmm is a really helpful site for when u want to check PC parts that r compatible especially when new parts come out

[prisma wasp]

Yes, it's designed to be that way.

[torn elm]

My guy what’s with the “.” 😭

[prisma wasp]

?

[torn elm]

the period at the end of every sentence

[prisma wasp]

That's.. just how I type?

[prisma wasp]

Also, don't refer to me as "my guy", or anything masc for that matter, thanks.

[clear spoke]

Does anyone in here experience any problems about fps and vsync?

[torn elm]

Well, vsync increases input lag so

[torn elm]

Ah, just thought you were being passive aggressive

[tame oyster]

I'm seeing in gaming monitors it has USB port gen 1 type a, b, c. Monitors have 2 out of 3, which is important to have.

[torn elm]

Why are you thinking so much about this stuff so much in advance

[torn elm]

None of this matters really

[tame oyster]

Really?

[gritty oak]

Speaking of vsync, are there any other ways of stopping screen tearing? I can't really find a solution other than to turn it on, but as you said the input lag is 💀

[hasty sierra]

You can lower your framerate cap to or lower than your monitor’s refresh rate

The whole reason screen tearing happens is because the GPU is pushing more frames than the monitor can actually display

[gritty oak]

That makes a lot of sense, thank you

[hasty sierra]

I personally start at my monitor’s refresh rate and slowly lower it if absolutely needed

Keyword slowly

No reason to lower your max FPS more than you need to

[gritty oak]

Ive been exploring the GeForce optimization thingy and It's messed up a lot of my stuff

[hasty sierra]

I do suggest just optimizing stuff yourself tbh

[gritty oak]

I usually like to sit it 120

[gritty oak]

Yeah for sure. I have to go through all of my stuff again and redo it

[hasty sierra]

Yeah, all of those “optimizers” rarely work

All you can do is just do trial and error

Like I found out borderless windowed usually gives me more FPS on my rig for some reason

[gritty oak]

I dont remember what game it was but it wouldn't let me go full screen for some reason and I wonder if that's why

[prisma wasp]

Nah, if I'm being passive aggressive it's marginally more noticable lmao.

[torn elm]

The GeForce app is pretty bad, i have it uninstalled and install my drivers manually

[sick marsh]

are you sure it wont be able to run at 60+ fps or so

cause thats really all i need

[torn elm]

maybe with DLSS but i dont think so

not natively

[sick marsh]

what card would you recommend getting for this game

thats a good upgrade from a 3060 ti

[torn elm]

youll be able to get 60+ fps with a 3060 ti at 1440p with DLSS

[sick marsh]

thank you

dlss saved me in doom eternal, too. atleast nvidia is alright when it comes to that stuff

[torn elm]

Nvidia is pretty good in general

[torn elm]

Of course

DLSS is dope, especially the newer verssions

Tho @sick marsh before you spend 70
Bucks on doom the dark ages, I’d reccomend you get a cpu upgrade first

[sick marsh]

yup im working on that rn matter of fact

[torn elm]

Oh awesome

[sick marsh]

probably gonna get an i5 or i7

[torn elm]

If you can save up 130 bucks I’d say go i5 10th gen

10600k is a pretty good cpu for the budget

[fiery yarrow]

This is old tech but

Should I get doom for it :3

[torn elm]

yes bro

i love old tech this is dope

[slate brook]

holy

[torn elm]

My guy…

You gotta understand that AMD GPUs don’t have well made ray tracing cores or good A.I. cores

Ray tracing is very unstable on AMD

[coral parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/computer-nerd-typing-meme-gif-23328185

[sterile slate]

except for the new card, which you cant get without paying twice the msrp...

[torn elm]

Yep…

[clear spoke]

Who gives a damn in a singleplayer, I've had no issue playing this game at 144hz and then later somehow without me touching any setting, game locked itself to 60fps even tho with vsync enabled both in game and in the control panel

Can someone help me plz

I'm locked to 60 fps literally

[torn elm]

its doom

very fast paced game, you should give a damn lmao

[torn elm]

check if your monitor is set to 144hz in the display settings

[clear spoke]

It is

[torn elm]

and nvidia control panel?

[clear spoke]

I have like 80 games, none of them have any issues with Gsync except DOOM and yes it is turned on on the panel

[torn elm]

do you have a g sync capable monitor?

[clear spoke]

I've had this setup for 2 years, it is

[torn elm]

then use VRR

[clear spoke]

I stopped playing since 2023 cuz of this, and now back to it with the same issue

[torn elm]

why are you using v sync, v sync is poopy

use g sync with VRR

[clear spoke]

Whether turned on or off, it is still 60 even changed from OpenGL to Vulkan with the same issues

[clear spoke]

VRR?

[torn elm]

doom eternal right?

[torn elm]

variable refresh rate

[clear spoke]

No DOOM 2016

Literally in the game rn with this shit issue

When I started at first, it was 144 fps literally locked then 60 out of all sudden

[torn elm]

go to C:\Users\YourUsername\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM\base

open Doomconfig.cfg

find this, and if its missing then add it

seta r_maxfps "144"

[clear spoke]

It's on the D drive but ok

[clear spoke]

How do I add it

[torn elm]

just copy and paste it in the cfg file

[clear spoke]

This command doesn't exist, I should just manually type it?

I opened it via Notepad

The only command with r is r_swapInterval "0"

[torn elm]

yeah just copy and paste what i sent

seta r_maxfps "144"

[clear spoke]

alr

@torn elmThat didn't help at all, matter of fact the command clears itself after launching the game

I did copy paste it right below the interval command

And it's just gone after playing the game, made sure it save changes of course

[torn elm]

did you press control + s

okay, idk then lmao just verify the game files

[clear spoke]

I see there's an advanced option to choose the frame lock

A random post on Steam forums, maybe that's the issue but even then it's just dumb af

[torn elm]

https://tenor.com/view/kirk-franklin-philosophical-sophisticated-black-man-eating-apple-giftok-gif-5264575645211581136

[clear spoke]

I did check advanced tf

Lemme make sure, still verifying files

THIS OPTION DOESN"T EXIST FOR ME AT ALLL

IT's like I'm running a cracked version of DOOM, HUUUH

[torn elm]

jesus christ lmao

[clear spoke]

NVM the max fps is a beta thing for DOOm, they removed it. so now nothing works gg

ANYONE ELSE CAN HELP ME?

[drifting blade]

Set it to read only

[clear spoke]

@drifting blade@torn elm

[torn elm]

what

[drifting blade]

Yes I am waiting for you to report back

[clear spoke]

ITS FIXED

[torn elm]

great

[drifting blade]

What did the trick

[torn elm]

probably the read only

[clear spoke]

IT FIXED ITSELF TF HOLD UP, the gpu usage was 20% not it's 50-60%

[torn elm]

good

[drifting blade]

The classic trick of just waiting it out

[torn elm]

higher the gpu usage the better

[clear spoke]

that's just dumb af

[drifting blade]

Feels like rotating a USB stick until it goes in or plugging it in and out

[torn elm]

just turn on g sync, and VRR

[clear spoke]

it's actually off and I'm getting 143

[torn elm]

yucky gross V sync

[drifting blade]

What's wrong with V-sync

[torn elm]

it increases latency alot, g sync using asychronised rendering so its basically v sync without the latency, and it also has less screen tearing than v sync

[clear spoke]

What's the reason I'm getting 9 fps on the menu ONLY when I move the cursor HUHH

Fixed a problem, new one appeared

[torn elm]

unsure

[clear spoke]

Wtf is this, was it a joke that people actually said doom is the most optimized game on pc

[torn elm]

oh wait it could be that you have v sync enabled in nvidia control panel

[torn elm]

no it is the most optimised game lol

[clear spoke]

The irony

[torn elm]

good

[clear spoke]

so? what's causing this abomination

[torn elm]

you might also have v sync enabled

in this panel make sure to check global settings so v sync isnt on

[drifting blade]

I heard it's fine if you have just a 60hz monitor, is that right?

[torn elm]

no it still has latency, i ran a lot of testing, even on a 60hz you should leave the fps uncapped unless your using a controller or getting a TON of screen tearing

[clear spoke]

Wow man

[drifting blade]

I'm on a 60hz and screen tearing was a crazy issue for me. Been fine with v-sync on ever since

[clear spoke]

Game froze on me, had to force restart the whole pc, couldn't even alt f4, so optimized

[torn elm]

yeah it depends on the monitor, some monitors have more and others have less, if your monitor can run g sync id highly reccomend, if not no worries

[torn elm]

its pretty optimised

[drifting blade]

What are the benefits to g-sync over v-sync?

[clear spoke]

Words are not the same as actions buddy, anyways back to 60 fps, vsync disable btw 😄

[drifting blade]

Did you set the text file to read only

[torn elm]

i told ya

less latency, less screen tearing

[torn elm]

idk, i get 240 fps on doom eternal 1440p with everything maxxed out and ray tracing with NO upscaling

[drifting blade]

If I have none of either is the upgrade still worth it or would it bring identical results

[clear spoke]

Doomconfig.cfg?

[torn elm]

upgrade to what? a better monitor?

[drifting blade]

Yes

[clear spoke]

It's notepad

[drifting blade]

From v to g

[drifting blade]

Yeah but you can still set that to read only

[clear spoke]

How

[drifting blade]

It prevents anything from changing the file contents. Right click it, go to properties, should be there along the bottom

By it I mean the file

[clear spoke]

I did, relaunching the game, also frame still drops to 7 and gpu usage all the way down when cursor moves in menu

[torn elm]

if your monitor can support it, it would absolutely be worth it

[clear spoke]

I'm talking about DOOM 2016

[torn elm]

same thing lmao

[drifting blade]

Also keep in mind that if you set it to read only you'll need to uncheck read only to change game settings

[clear spoke]

Different game not the same thing

[drifting blade]

I'll look into it then, thanks

[torn elm]

sure

[drifting blade]

@clear spoke You did add that r_maxfps thing before making it read only right?

[clear spoke]

Nothing changed set it up to read only

[clear spoke]

this

[drifting blade]

Yes

[clear spoke]

I did

[drifting blade]

I got no idea then

[drifting blade]

Try putting it into the launch commands maybe?

[clear spoke]

Why do I have to do all of this to be able to play the game that is so claimed "optimized"

I don't have time for this, fuck Bethesda, sorry for wasting your time gbye

[drifting blade]

High framerate monitors weren't the norm at the time

id made the game not Bethesda

[torn elm]

This dude complains a lot

[drifting blade]

Oh well

Thanks for that g sync tip again, see you around

[torn elm]

all good, you too

[fierce bloom]

Hi all, the first time launched doom, and here in the menu freezes every second, other games work without problems, hint who knows, I would be grateful

[sudden crest]

hey anyone know why i loose all momentum ass soon as i hit the edge of a platform? im on pc and my fps is like 200+

[potent mica]

Do you mean the edge of a platform as in you climbing onto it? Or as if you're about to fall off of it?

[shrewd compass]

i just have an overall question about both Doom 2016 and eternal wtf with the QA I just started playing eternal and now I cant use the tab button I have alt tab back in i have alt entered back into the game no. If this is how the game is going to be I am just not going to play it I dont get game companys who leave so many glitches in a game to this day. Doom 2016 I have experienced a plethora of bugs, rail glitch which flings me at mach 2, falling through geometry, enemies not spawning and others. Why do they leave these glitches in the game to this day and anyone know solution to tab button in doom eternel

[gritty oak]

Go to the main menu and it should fix it

It's happened to me twice and all I had to do was go to the main menu and then load back into whatever I was playing

[sudden crest]

best way to describe it as if as soon as my feet air in the air i only fall

[sudden crest]

as you see i loose all momentum yet im holding the key down, i tried to double jump to compensate but it didnt work too well

[gritty oak]

Cable management sucks

[fiery lichen]

I'm learning doom builder X cuz I'm on dinosaur hardware can anyone give any tips?

[hasty sierra]

Better to ask in #classic-doom-maps-mods

but in general, just search up mapping tips

[fiery lichen]

K thnks

[bronze bone]

So, it seems like the Doom collection pack won't work anymore. It said that the corrupt disk was dosbox, but that file doesn't exist anymore.

Actually, never mind. Deleting the folder outright fixed the issue.

[sudden crest]

Can someone explain why my game is doing this?

[prisma wasp]

You're probably better off asking in the Eternal channel, not here.

[sudden crest]

ty

[vast cedar]

i mean it could be you dont have the air control rune equipped

[sudden crest]

ill try that next rune i get

[vast cedar]

alr we'll see then ig

Old bug, I've only encountered it using Vulkan, but it affects both GeForce and Radeon GPUs.

[alpine peak]

I have absolutely NO idea of programming or game developing so please don't bully me for this question

I saw that the new doom game is going to require RTX cabaple GPUs, my question is, is it possible to mod the game to make it so that it runs on non-rtx GPUs? I know it hasn't even released yet, but maybe someone actually did something like that with other game in the past?

[prisma wasp]

It is not, a lot of their systems are confirmed to require raytracing.

Modding the game to remove raytracing would require rebuilding the game from the ground up.

[tiny lily]

you would need kinda batshit levels of modding tools and a lot of time

minecraft has raytracing mods because it basically has source-code level editing capability

[alpine peak]

Oof 😔

[empty patrol]

yall whats a good budget pc for around 600 dollars that can run Destiny 2 at 1080p 60+ fps? first pc build and i dont know what im doing when it comes to picking parts, DM if you wanna takj

[torn elm]

Sure

@empty patrol your DMs are closed btw

[sick marsh]

imo dlss just has no flaws i literally cannot see a difference between using with or without

all games should just have it built in

[torn elm]

Yup lmao

Free fps

[hasty sierra]

I can easily see a difference when on the lower settings of DLSS

Quality does take a major hit

Higher setting also can be finicky. In some games it’s fine, in others it gives a negligible FPS boost

[tardy moth]

Hello, can someone help me?

doom 2016 started in 640p for some reason, so i went to settings and changed it to my normal aspect. Then the game screen is now only a few pixels big on he top left corner of my screen and i can not see anything. I hear the music, i can hear myself going through the menu but i only see the desktop and a black patch in the corner. I verified game files, i reinstalled the game, didnt work. Any suggestions?

if someone helped me go through the menu blind by showing me what is where maybe that could help

[neon stag]

Does anyone has issues when playing Doom Eternal on Linux (Mint 22) ?
My game run at 30-40 FPS, instead of an average 130-150 FPS on Windows
An i have a very weird and stupid bug, where the mouse click is instantaneous, which basically means that i can't remap the keys

it really does also depend on the game

on doom eternal its barely noticable, same with cyberpunk, especially with the transformer model

other games however, very noticable

[serene palm]

I’m pretty sure games on Steam are optimized for well, Windows

[neon stag]

A few years ago yeah, but now there is Proton for running Steam Games on Linux

And on ProtonDB, Doom Eternal is classified "Gold"
So normally, it should run well

am i cooked for dark ages? i really want the collectors edition but im afraid my 8gb vram laptop wont cut it. indiana jones runs amazing with textures and shadows on low/med tho

Your CPU is only 2 cores short; you may be able to run the game 1080p/60, but it's a hard maybe. 8 cores may be a hard requirement. The GPU is sufficient.

[vagrant carbon]

i've seen that they state 8 core zen 2 as minimum. my cpu is zen 4. could that help a bit? i've seen benchmark videos where my cpu is comparable to the desktop version, the 8 core ryzen 5 7600

[prisma wasp]

It may be comparable, but the core count may be a hard requirement. Performance equal to an 8 core doesn't mean it's gonna run the game, unfortunately.

It's gonna be a maybe on whether you can run the game.

[vagrant carbon]

oh, right, gotchu

[prisma wasp]

If it works, hell yeah, if it doesn't, unfortunately there's no real solution aside from a new laptop with an 8 core CPU.

[vagrant carbon]

well, i might just get it for the series s at this point. i also have a series s that i got before this laptop, at that time i had a really weak 1650 laptop that couldnt run anything properly. i might just go back to xbox at this point

[prisma wasp]

I'd say keep an eye on things and maybe wait a while until after release, that way you can see if people are able to run it on 6-core CPU's.

Though Series S is definitely an option, at least with that it's essentially plug and play.

[vagrant carbon]

i have also seen that dark ages has play anywhere feature on xbox store, for example i can play it on both xbox/pc if i own the license on one of them

so if i decide that i really want the collectors edition i could just go for the xbox version

[prisma wasp]

I'd imagine so, Microsofts been pretty good with that.

[vagrant carbon]

i really wonder how they are going to scale this game for the series s. indy runs 60 on series s, im curious if this is gonna be the case too

[prisma wasp]

I imagine they'd have made strides in having it run at 60, id are generally pretty good at optimising their games.
