most of the time she looks pretty realistic but in some, she does look kinda oof
bleak pike
and i dont wanna play Shadow over geforce now
lone sequoia
fair enough lol
lone sequoia
(it almost might be me but it feels like she got a boob job since the last game)'
bleak pike
but id rather run it locally
and not have to worry about my ISP being cunts
got a boob job?
what boobs?
she looks like an action figure lmao
lone sequoia
in rotr she looked kinda flat compared to the game before, but now it looks normal again
or maybe I'm just crazy
bleak pike
i cant stand that outfit too
it looks so bad
on modern computers
modern engine etc
lone sequoia
yea the outfit is questionable
lone sequoia
but yea for a default skin it looks weird
bleak pike
they upgraded things not needed to upgrade
and downgraded good things
its such a shame
laras face was nearly perfect in rise
lone sequoia
keep in mind im not on highest settings either lol
but you can't tell me that this screenshot is ALL that bad
I mean just look at the lighting on her face
it's realistic af
okay time for some realtalk
I opened task manager to watch performance, and like my cpu and gpu are both sitting at like 20% LOL
so I'm gonna crank it up
so at high it's pretty playable but there's occasional heavy frame drops every once in a while
30% gpu usage on a 1060 lol
they make it look so ez
ripe tendon
30% for just that part or when you're actually doing stuff and shits going down?
lone sequoia
actual ingame
it spikes a lot but I'd say the mode is around 30%
im not sure why I still get those drops tho, like there's plenty of resource to go around
ripe tendon
mode? the avg?
ripe tendon
I meant what do you mean by the mode is around 30%
lone sequoia
^
ripe tendon
that 30% appears more than any other number?
lone sequoia
I just specifically wanted not to say avg because the spikes mess up the data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
same lol
that's also fair
ripe tendon
ok lol
lone sequoia
here I'm in a jungle
so GPU usage is astronomically low
LOL
nvidia day 1 drivers bruh
ripe tendon
maybe it's because it's a screenshot but those textures look weird as fuck
lone sequoia
I messed around with texture settings and caused some bugs
trim rock
Looks like you got enough grunt there, time for RTX ON
lone sequoia
like rn im on a tree thats just one big shade of brown lol
ripe tendon
Poor Lara her hairs gotten so nappy
ripe tendon
in the screenshot her hair looks nappy lol
lone sequoia
I don't think I've ever heard nappy used that way lmao
ripe tendon
never heard of nappy hair?
lone sequoia
no lol
ripe tendon
interesting
lone sequoia
the other weird thing is that my frame overall is kinda low
maybe just micro stutters
ripe tendon
It's not for anybody with frizzy hair though it's typically associated with african/-american hair
I guess it's part texture too maybe
lone sequoia
I bet it's the stress
ripe tendon
I bet it's day 1 driver
lone sequoia
LOL
it's just hairworks not being good
needs more contrast overall
not enough interaction with light
ripe tendon
oh you have hairworks on? fuuuck that
ripe tendon
I remember hairworks tanking witching 3 like a motherfucker
lone sequoia
yea that'll happeb
ripe tendon
been a while since I played but it was rough
lone sequoia
hairworks off looks a little better but way less realistic
they did something cool with the water
it's got some chromatic aberration and other heavy vfx
ripe tendon
I almost always turn all that stuff off tbh
blur, aberration, shadow quality to med or low (because high/ultra are too crisp even for the real world), all that extra stuff
lone sequoia
oh man you get a lot of cosmetics to choose from
you even get one that makes her looks like the lara from the first in the trilogy
and her leather jacket and whatnot from rotr
ohmygod wtf
you get one that looks like THE original

they kept the same model for the original right? she's all blocky and shit?

I'm about to sink $200-220 into my first custom

why though
hollow sphinx
you asked....so let me speak
orchid prism
hollow sphinx
because i liked the idea of being able tp program different actions at different actuation points....as well as the long durability that the keys claim to have....as well as linus' review stating that it feels tough.....and i thought it was time to get a keyboard that wasn't just like every other cherry mx switch and clones alike....i wanted something unique....and i found it. the wooting team made a tall claim at the beginning with starting the wooting one...but they kept their promise and it was released....no num-pad though. im also going to do a good bit pf typing so i wanted a nice new keyboard that would last me a long time and feel good as opposed to the garbage Chinese ones that lasted a year or 2. Wooting offered something that was unique, durable, and well built (according to reviewers) with much more interesting claims than i expected...while im not buying the product off the shelf i believe that "good things come to those who wait" and i hope that this product takes off
i could have gone for any other keyboard out there....with all those gamer bells and whistles....and while those are nice, wooting offered something better in my eyes from a functionality standpoint

90fps is the "mimimum" so i've heard for a smooth experience

ionic sapphire
Depends on the person. I know some that have like 40fps and feel fine
Plus you can always mess with ini files if your card isn't good enough for you

RX 480 is what I could afford
orchid prism
Not a bad GPU by any means
hollow sphinx
well....580....but there really is no difference
hollow sphinx
8gb
hollow sphinx
im not stupid
i figured 8GB model would scale better over time
and the benchmarks showed higher fps over all
lone sequoia
the higher gig models for any card tend to have slightly higher clock speeds
so that the manufacturer can justify cranking up the price
that's why I got the 1060 3gb model
I just oc it to 2ghz anyways
lone sequoia
ik, they dont have different clocks either
it was a bad example but you didn't have to point it out ๐ข
hollow sphinx
XD
ok....so the fact you know it was a bad example is a good thing because it means i can stop smashing my face on my keyboard
lone sequoia
nvidia has a tendency to scale up a couple other things too
but overall they're mostly the same
so unless they change a spec you're SPECIFICALLY concerned about, there's no dif
so like
uhh one sec
so like usually a TMU is important
the 3gb 1060 has ~10% less TMUs
but with overclocking, does it really matter?
now look at RTX
the FE cards have slightly more RTUs or whatever they're called
does it really matter? do you plan on using raytracing in game?
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
hollow sphinx
fe cards are also choked to hell
hollow sphinx
yeah
lone sequoia
the 20 series ones look okay but I haven't actually seen any comparisons yet
are they still trash?
hollow sphinx
kinda
lone sequoia
oof
this is unfortunate news
due to the fact that A. I vert mount my GPU currently, and B. where I am, it's cheaper to order a FE card directly from NVIDIA than to get a regular one
and I wanted dat extra RT units
hollow sphinx
well
they are kinda useless if apps dont support them
we all know that AIB cards are always better
indigo grail
afaik the Turing FE cards are basically mid-level AIB cards
in terms of useful metrics like noise, heat, etc
obviously they cost too fucking much
lone sequoia
obv but low end AIB cards are also supposed to cost $100 less
I kid you not it's cheaper
I was looking at newegg.ca and shit
there was like 2/20 2080 cards that were less than it was to order one from NVIDIA and have it EXPRESS shipped internationally

A friend and I have been trying to 100% it for the last few days, playing between like 2-4 hours when we can. But last night as we were going through we just said to hell with it and went for that long since niether of use have anything to do today.
Although I was rather puzzled when we got to the end, he had 100% and I had this. Turns out I somehow missed a collectable earlier in the game, even though when one person picks then up, both people get them. Anyway, it was easy to go back for it. And now I'll probably never play it again

IPS has literally gone from being a premium thing, to being bogstandard at low prices.
75hz monitors are reaching a point where you're not actually paying for it either, because it's implied with other features.
orchid prism
1440P is a premium...still. Still being the operative word.
It isn't mainstream, because it requires more computing power.
I'm running 1440P on my 8700K, and it is not a fun experience, even on desktop.

Now I just need a GPU that can consistanly run 1440p 144Hz...
sleek gorge
Got a 390 atm, low/medium seems to get me 100+ frames in the games I care about
ripe tendon
What gpu does 1440/144 without turning the settings down a good bit? Unless you're playing a competitive fps I dont think that happens
indigo grail
I dont ever play max settings b/c they're a meme but my 1080ti runs everything I've tried at 1440p/120FPS high settings
granted I dont play basically any yearly AAA games
but imo most games you're not gonna get a locked 144FPS, thats a pipe dream even with a 1080Ti. And for high refresh rates your CPU actually matters so dont skimp on that or you'll have a bad time in a decent number of games
ripe tendon
but maxed out games are sooo pretty
put the witcher 3 at 4k maxed on the tv yesterday to test the wifes pc and it looks goorgeous
was like 30-40 fps with a 1080 fe and not doable but looked nice lol
indigo grail
I just mean like compare manual tweaked "high" settings vs cranking everything to max and usually you get much better FPS but only slightly worse image quality(and doubly so if you're actually playing a game and not pixel-hunting on screenshots lol)
not the case for every game for sure, but enough that I dont ever just crank everything to max
ripe tendon
Very true. What games are worth aiming for 100+ fps on though that aren't competitive?
indigo grail
all of them
so smooth
its less noticeable in slower paced stuff obviously, but its still so smooth and responsive compared to 60FPS(or lol 30FPS)
im a refresh rate shill basically though
I'd play games on minimum settings @ 144hz over max @ 60Hz every time
ripe tendon
I couldn't do minimum. I could do medium maybe for most games but some minimums are rough

not a $60 game but 30-40 maybe, imo
bleak pike
not true
its black ops 4 dlc :p
Jokes aside, zombies alone has made me happy with my purchase, i love it!
forest urchin
I played a little bit of heist today, that's also fun
the BR is also pretty entertaining because it's the first game that's not straight up just jank as all hell
ripe tendon
I personally enjoyed Paladins' BR but no others have ever interested me besides that and Blackout.
indigo grail
I played a lot of PUBG but eventually I got tired of the constant jank and every update making the game somehow worse
forest urchin
paladins br is also in early acces and full of jank from what I know
at least with cod you get an actually like... finished, aaa-polish product
which as far as a BR goes? That's what I wanted to see for a really long time because it's what the genre needs to survive
not survive, evolve
even if it's not the most popular or the most successful one, it's the first proper one
at least that's what it feels like to me
ripe tendon
with their server and tick rates I wouldnt consider it polish
toxic hill
Anyone else really really surprised to learn that we're getting 25 months of game access for being subbed to Nitro?
forest urchin
Yeah that was a shocker to say the least
I have that stuff disabled anyways but cool beans for sure
lone sequoia
There's a couple games on there o wouldn't mind trying
forest urchin
I saw there's a lot of good ones
sleek gorge
Wait 24 months? I thought it was a year
sleek gorge
Also yeah there's a couple I'm interested in trying out. Downloaded abzu last night
forest urchin
but unless they offer a better/similar refund policy as steam I see no reason to use their store
and tie myself to them that way
sleek gorge
So wait, they're doing games until Jan 2021, or you get games until 2021 for already being a nitro subscriber?
At a lower cost
forest urchin
no you get access to nitro games until then
it's free as long as you have nitro, or in our case until 2021 even if you cancel
that's how I understood it
also drm has not bothered me in at least... 7 years
maybe i was just lucky
I get that argument yeah
sleek gorge
I like games without drm, but I seldom buy them
Its almost always a lot cheaper to get a steam key
sleek gorge
Most recent one I bought was Kingdom come in a bundle for GoGs 10th anniversary
Very good deal
forest urchin
I buy a lot to just see how it is so I want to be able to refund
and steam got good there, so
sleek gorge
I think GoG allows refunds? Maybe
forest urchin
pirating is too much effort
sleek gorge
How does that work if you already have the game?
That's interesting
That's nice of them
One thing stopping me too is lack of cross play with steam
Luckily in our most recent case shadow warrior 2 was free so we could all get it anyway, but still
I don't often buy them anymore, but it pretty much locks me into steam if I did
Since most of the time I'm buying an older game to play with somebody who already has it
But single player games I do buy on GoG sometimes
Witcher 3 is on there
MGS V was GOTY 2015 in my mind, even compared to TW3
Which is a game I can never get in to, despite being really good
forest urchin
what really put me off w3 was the godawful combat
coming out of bloodborne killed that game
And it's badly explained and it lied to me
which ended up with me facing multiple enemies I had no way of fighting, the... alghouls?
using that rune to get them to un-spike did not work, I tried like five times and double- and triple-checked I was doing it right.
And then I stopped bothering.
sleek gorge
Mmmm, bloodborne. Now there's a good game
Absolutely did not buy a PS4 just to play it. Nope, not at all...
forest urchin
Me neither, noooope
bleak pike
This is great https://youtu.be/ZlsWaMkKMtM
bleak pike
in Shadow of the tomb raider on the first act
amazing graphics
but then it just gets downgraded hardcore
lone sequoia
you ARE in a jungle with laggy foliage everywhere
so for that part of the game it makes some sense
bleak pike
Which i wouldn't mind if Lara's model was the same
but its also downgraded
also in general game is buggy af https://gyazo.com/4531397b57c0bf00b867f34647bfd53e
lone sequoia
weird, I never ran into any weird stuff like that
or maybe I did, I can't remember lol
bleak pike
apparently its the new update issue
ripe tendon
Feels good to be clean again!
ripe tendon
had <200gb free on each big drive before I reformatted
Yeaaah, it felt appropriate since I don't do much else that can't be saved online somewhere
lone sequoia
I feel like 5tb is a lot of storage for anything
ripe tendon
Yeah I thought that too then all of a sudden I was down to 400GB and the HDD speeds were crawling
lone sequoia
what are you even putting on all of that
ripe tendon
Games took up a LOT in the beginning. I was only installing and never uninstalling. I had a bunch of modeling and rendering stuff as well as any random thing I encountered that looked neat.
At one point Overwatch sounds took up a lot because I was extracting them for ringtones and alerts ๐
TLDR: I'm bad at cleanup
lone oasis
I have that as well and I have:
2x4tb, 4x3tb ๐
lone sequoia
what
lone sequoia
watttttt
ripe tendon
That one sounds like bs ๐
bleak pike
@lone sequoia I have 8tb
You sound like the guy who thinks 2tb is enough
I have 2tb of games alone
lone sequoia
yes I do
hollow sphinx
ya know.....half of the time i think im the problem on my team
but the other half is definitely poor placement of modules by my allies
what did i do?
i thought /s was supposed to be a modifier
..... just the backslashes in code.....nvm, not important
(ik its a forward slash)

guys I need wooting now
trying to emulate MGS3
it uses analog keys for grabbing people
half press is grab
full press is to cut throats
dualshock 4 doesnt have analog keys like dualshock 2 did
so many needless deaths
those open item screens
to swap between guns and stuff
the square, circle, triangle and X keys
yes
trim rock
yes all buttons except start and select are analog on ds2 and ds3
oh and l3 r3 I guess
ebon otter
thats because devs never used them
and why they are absent in my DS4
so I need to get myself a DS2 if I want to grab someone without brutally murdering them
I guess I could rebind the trigger keys in the meantime
nocturne rose
ps1 had them too I thought?
vaguely remember Hot Pursuit had analog on the buttons
ebon otter
all I know is that if I press the grab button, it registers full press and snake whips out a knife
that isnt cool
its a fun game though
not in gameplay
but in cutscenes
if that makes sense
yeah
it feels so...
I dunno
out there
because I dont understand the story
but I love watching the characters interact
I mean look at this
I played 5
realized I had no idea what the fuck was happening
so im going back
not back to 1 because im not that hardcore
but im starting with 3
nocturne rose
but.. 1 is amazing
ebon otter
can I emulate it?
nocturne rose
yeah
ebon otter
can I emulate it in 1080p?
forest urchin
ps1 was good as heck
forest urchin
shame that controller support is still assgarbage unless it's the xbonx
ebon otter
its important that I play these games in HD
I emulated 3 in native
I almost vomited
im too spoiled :/
all the jaggies man
forest urchin
It takes me like, a while to get over it
ebon otter
im okay with old graphics, but low res
forest urchin
but after some adjustment I really dig the ps1-ps2 graphics
ebon otter
no way
forest urchin
Man speaking of, I wanna do another FF8 playthrough
ebon otter
they dont
but at least I can see them
not enough pixels
hard to tell what things are
forest urchin
no DLC, no season pass, no always online bullshit
man those were good fucking times
nocturne rose
no internet to search for walkthroughs
forest urchin
dude I played MGS1 in italian
ebon otter
I thought MGS3 was broken at first
forest urchin
I speak no italian
ebon otter
I pressed X to start a game, and it kept bringing me back to the title screen
you have to press O to start a game
forest urchin
ah yeah because japan has O to confirm
ebon otter
like come on
forest urchin
and X to cancel
that's apparently the default layout in japan and almost every game changes it in the west
I think even the PS4 bloodborne versions have that difference
I know that DS3 had it
from watching epicnamebro
ebon otter
MGS 3 has the surprised/confused grunts the anime memes have
forest urchin
it's so fucking weird
I used a wii u pro controller for the longest time
I found this fantastic little 3rd party wireless adapter that natively supported it on PC
and the way xbox rotated their buttons fucked me up for so long
even now I'll get it completely wrong if I pay too much attention to the prompts, even with a ps4 controller
I'd be curious about japanese culture and their face buttons though, I can see how X would mean cancel and O would mean confirm but then why change it for the west
ebon otter
well its annoying
forest urchin
it is
ebon otter
but thankfully I can rebind
ebon otter
I wish humans worked like this
ebon otter
wake me up inside
forest urchin
god you just reminded me I spent 50ish euros on a controller that farts at me and uses AAA-batteries
that's really neat actually
ebon otter
sounds like a you problem
forest urchin
well, I don't use it
ebon otter
square retrieves weapon
forest urchin
I seriously have so many controllers weirdly
ebon otter
send me a DS3 that has a USB end
forest urchin
I bought into the steam controller hype
I only have a DS4 and that's my current one
forest urchin
I'd recommend the wii u pro controller though
it's super lightweight
the battery lasts for LITERALLY months
forest urchin
I'd just like more games to support it properly and actually give me ps4 prompts
ebon otter
I want wooting to be here so I can use a keyboard for everything
keyboards are the optimal way to experience games
forest urchin
it sucks that the xbox is like kind of not a good controller
depends on the game imo
ebon otter
it really does
forest urchin
like it's big and clunky, but it has the best support
ebon otter
but I havent played a racing game since burnout on xbox
forest urchin
the DS4 is good imo
and so is the wii u pro thing
the switch pro is a huge disappointment
xbonx
ebon otter
switch pro?
forest urchin
the switch pro controller
ebon otter
those things are so tiny
ebon otter
like I felt like I will crush them if im not careful
forest urchin
you know you can only play super mario party with like
holding it sideways
god, how good will smash ultimate be though
ebon otter
I never bought one
forest urchin
dualshock has like
never been bad
gotta give credit for that
shame the ds4 has like, this horrible LED that sucks out your battery
I like how it feels
the most out of all the ones I have lying around actually
ebon otter
my DS4 led never turns on
not that it matters, its wired to my computer
I really do like the 4
but I need them analog buttons
forest urchin
there was a tutorial on how to like
disconnect the LED to save battery
it was a huge difference
ebon otter
yeah I dont see what purpose it serves
forest urchin
a e s t h e t i c
ebon otter
but I dont use a controller often enough for battery life to be a problem
forest urchin
if I play for like 3 hours and it's half empty that gives me stress
ebon otter
wow
forest urchin
like what u doin stop it
ebon otter
you have a very low stress threshold
forest urchin
when it comes to battery life yeah it is weirdly low
forest urchin
I barely use my phone though so that's good
so most days it'll be between 50 and 70%
or higher
that's smooth sailing
yeah mostly same
I charge it maybe twice a week if I do a lot with it
ebon otter
depending on how interesting my day at work is, mines anywhere between 1-50%
forest urchin
how people even justfy spending more than... 300 euros AT MOST on a phone is honestly beyond me
ebon otter
1% is my record
forest urchin
s t r e s s
ebon otter
dude
12 hour workday
did nothing but play on my phone for all of it
it served its purpose
ebon otter
I also need to get new components for my computer (because theyre actually starting to break down) but everything is so expensive its kinda tempting to just have a broken computer for free
forest urchin
what do you need, most stuff shouldn't be that bad unless it's gpu
or ram I think is pretty up there atm
ebon otter
its ram
and if im going from ddr3 to ddr4, im gonna need a new motherboard and processor
plus my PSU is 7 years old
the whole thing needs modernized really
its time though
I hate that shit
thats fine
ill go out of my way to not support that
forest urchin
v. good
fuck pricefixers
that said, if you're not targetting high-end, look into a prebuilt
ebon otter
thats not my style
forest urchin
from what I hear the midrange prebuilts are actually pretty good deals these days
ebon otter
I do as much stuff as I can myself
