Nearly all of battlefield V servers are full

And the beta isn't even open to all yet 🤔

EA desperately trying to get people to buy BF1.
pale sigil
Really? I mean what other games
latent mural
you play, you get bored you stop paying
pale sigil
Are going to be worth £15/month
latent mural
you lost 2 rounds of beer
pale sigil
Other than anthem and bfv
Which have significant release windows
Better deals is ea access
10 hour trial
For new games
I including early access
Loose £4 thats it
latent mural
if you don't like bfv that much you don't have to pay the 10 pounds
pale sigil
£15
latent mural
15-4.99
pale sigil
It's £15/month
For ea access Premier
£4 a month for normal
Which gets you loads of games
latent mural
yes, we both know that
pale sigil
I did it for battlefront 2
Boy oh boy
It was a good job
Because I cancelled my pre order
Imo if you're on console, wait it out, pc but off cdkeys
Because it just isn't worth it
If you're wanting to try buy normal
£35 on cdkeys
Xbox game pass makes more sense than premier if I'm honest
latent mural
i don't really see a reason to normal buy any recent (still pricy) game that's available on a sub
premier is just bait for new releases and im sure it will work wondefully
pale sigil
But that sub doesn't offer anything else within the same timeframe
latent mural
no one forces you to keep subbing
pale sigil
But you can't play can you so meh
latent mural
switch to non premier
get bored of that too, switch it off
which i'm sure is exactly how it will go
pale sigil
You can't?
latent mural
bf5 worst selling bf, biggest revenue
pale sigil
None Premier doesn't add say bfv for at least 6 to 8 months
latent mural
well i just said, when you get bored of it
should come exactly in 6 months btw, the other things did
pale sigil
I'd still just buy it by then, I kinda feel like these days this type of genre isn't a lasting one
Fps shooters like cod, battlefield etc
At least on pc
latent mural
well if you're ok with getting cheep keys off of shady places
latent mural
no i mean just from a moral standpoint
pale sigil
Only had an issue once which was a delayed email for 40 min
Fuck morals
When it comes to most publishers
Also cdkeys isn't a marketplace
They buy stock and sell it
latent mural
can't be that much cheaper if it's all legit
pale sigil
Can be when buying in bulk
They just don't sell at retail
Also they up the price near launch
latent mural
pretty sure the margins for keys are close to non existant
pale sigil
The way it works with cdkeys is if you pre order in advance its cheaper
If you buy closer to launch its a lot more
Are you really going to tell me
It's OK buying a £50 game off origin
latent mural
who says that
it's ok to use the sub
nothing else is ok
it's ok to wait 6 months and buy the game off origin for 20 pounds
(black fridays/midsumer/whatever discount times)
pale sigil
But you're thinking about 50 quid vs sub
No one buys keys directly on origin
At least not a majority
latent mural
no im thinking get the sub or get nothing for 6 months
pale sigil
That's how much? £45 for one game in 3 months alone
£9.99 would be more reasonable
But £15 is over the top
Doesn't even offer a trial service like ea acess did
latent mural
well everything new ends up there, what would be a trial for every new game
tall finch
How much is the yearly sub in EU
latent mural
99.99
tall finch
In US it's $100 and that's pretty reasonable imo
pale sigil
Bare in mind
That most cases ifs only 2 games
That people would actually want
Anthem and battlefield v
latent mural
if you plan to play bf v for 4 months straight, go ahead and just buy it then
pale sigil
£90 a year BTW
latent mural
for the rest of the world - play one month- get bored, or get off your vacation
latent mural
15 pounds for bfv and other games for 1 month is a great deal
pale sigil
Then I wouldn't be so critical
latent mural
then it would be a steal :p
pale sigil
£15 is genuinely a lot
pale sigil
I mean, origin still earn more money....
Ea sorry
Because its 100% to them
Just like Microsoft do
latent mural
I'm sure financial calculations for bf v decided on that price
i'm sure they expect to actually get less revenue from bf total as a result
but a sub is just better for yearly revenue
9.99 per month would probably be a catastrophe
pale sigil
@latent mural not like pre orders are doing well for them Kappa
sturdy crater
@proud nacelle personally wouldn't recommend it.. Screen sizing could be off, cable may be wrong, etc
Oh its for a computer?
I'm not sure you would want to cut into a mobile device to make it even..
Could break Wifi and other shit
Up to you I guess just wouldn't recommend doing it
Is there a reason why you just don't buy the original screen?
pale sigil
Not to interupt but the feels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDRkaEvtn80
sturdy crater
Are you certain you can change the resolution on the phone?
You still have to change the res tho
I don't believe phones auto detect res displays
Kk up to you if you want to do it
Generally there's decoders attached specifically for that display
So possibility of display not working
latent mural
I think the problem is that every manufacturer has their own connector of eDP
old conversation...
it is but you have to wire that tiny tiny thing yourself
it's doable
there are a few people on the internet who did it to the edp on the ipad
they built their own pcb, via china
probably was the same blog

@toxic jolt my power port blew up
toxic jolt
wat
wispy ocean
This fing sucks
I bought a new monitor, and it has some really strange headphone jack options
I can no longer select my REAL mic (plugged in from the headphone (V-moda boompro)) so I have to use the built in mic which sounds like a fucking swimming pool
Thanks AGON appreciate it
wispy ocean
I have no idea
But in sound settings it now only shows my sound card and my built in mic
And my sound card doesn’t even work somehow
ashen spindle
there is an option in sound drivers to hide some inputs if others are used
never used a sound card so idk where you would find the settings in that one
wispy ocean
The thing is, when my monitor is connected to my laptop, I can no longer use the headphone jack in the laptop. Which sucks, because the monitor only has a headphone jack OR a mic jack.
pale sigil
Went to plug my phone in to back up my stuff, them it hit me oh ye no port -_-

Doesn;t matter
I was alredyd backing up to my nas

For some reason my plex isn't out putting 4K at
Not even 1080p
Managed to tweak a bit
haughty condor
Weird did it get changed to always encode?
pale sigil
Usually for 4K films I just stick it on my external hdd
But my tv won't support the file for some reason
Kinda getting sick of it now
Waited all this time for avengers 4K
It just seems like it's my tv only
But for some reason when I stream to my chrome cast I can't even get 4k
1080p sorry
sturdy crater
You need chromecast ultra for 4k
sturdy crater
As for 1080p..no idea I thought it was by default 1080
pale sigil
Is that even if I use my chromecast
It doesn't even look 1080p
I'm using plex on my actual tv
Which is 4k
sturdy crater
You say it doesn't look 1080 but have you checked the res?
pale sigil
Yes it's outputting 4k
sturdy crater
Probably a problem with the input then. I'm guessing the media isn't 4k?
sturdy crater
Hmm. Try checking the video settings maybe
pale sigil
Just going to plug my actual computer into the tv
Yes
I know you're trying to help guys
But I do have common sense
Anyway, plugged my monitor in
4k goodness now
I mean tv into my pc
Actually
Fuck it
Already ruined the movie For myself
I'll watch it tomorrow
Spent more time trying to resolve this shit than watching the movie itself

Moving on
Do you think Samsung need my pass code for my phone
I wiped it however I don't want them unlocking it
And trying an app that requires Knox
Pretty sure they aren't allowed to do that
lol I literally made the pin 1234
They don't own it lol
This isn't a contact
I bought the phone
Contracts are a no no for me
I agree but I want it to go as smooth as possible
No arguments etc
Nah I haven't
It's in pristine condition too
I got some notes
But it was mostly take all accessories off including protector
From what I understand there's communication between me and said person
So I'd just give the pin
- Before sending away for repair please remove all accessories such as cases, screen protectors and SIM or SD cards from your device and retain them for safe keeping
And..,,, I can't find the original box
Found it whoop
Jesus fucking Christ
Took my tampered flash cover off
Fucking shattered everywhere
About that
pale sigil
@haughty condor ye.... replacing it now
I was taking it off
As Samsung want me to
Just exploded all over me
Cut me 4 times
haughty condor
I've had them shatter into two pieces when removing
pale sigil
Ye that's why it surprised me lma
Usually it has a sheet
So the glass won't shatter
This didn't
Literally just glass
haughty condor
They're really brittle if you bend them too much, I've had the center splinter before
Not that badly but..
Taking them off across the short side instead of the long works better
haughty condor
Haa
pale sigil
Pricy vs expensive ones
Also my project is pink so I got a protector that is also black

I took mine off, stopped being able to type properly

I really need to build my own, I've been putting it off because the investment is around £200
Minus solder equipment
Once I've made my first build I'll be happy and probably won't make another 😂
Just want to have a keyboard I can call my own
I have a proof reader and helper In general at uni
She always struggles using my 60% I feel bad but it's so fun to watch

sturdy crater
Hmm.. That soldering iron looks cool. Mine just looks like a tube
pale sigil
It has a temperature control right
sturdy crater
I think mine retails for like 60-70usd or something pretty sure it's just cause its a engineering brand tho
haughty condor
Yeah, 100c-400c
pale sigil
Why so much
haughty condor
Yeah that's half the thing lol
haughty condor
Oh yeah, it's not that much in gbp

Still, can't blame you for American things.

Eh America's fine.. I don't get some of their politics but its all good
Way too flamboyant imo

Fk.. I hate it when shows bring in medics and they don't know shit and they're like the most unenthusiastic actors as well. I get it they're side actors but at least pay a slightly higher amount
Girl does one pump and is like ok do it with no enthusiasm or concern
timid chasm
wait, bring in actual medics to act?
sturdy crater
I know some medics that would probs do it for free. But not requesting that. Just saying research a little bit about the process. Takes like maybe 5-15 minutes?
timid chasm
You said they didnt know shit so that would make them a shit medic from the get go so why pay them slightly more?
sturdy crater
I meant pay slightly more to get better actors
timid chasm
I understand nothing of what you're trying to say
sturdy crater
But tbh probs should be blaming the director. Probs just didn't care
timid chasm
just about any show that uses actors to portray some profession like doctor, medic, lawyer, IT, etc.. butchers it
its the way of "hollywood"
sturdy crater
Eh I'm okay of hollywoodifying things(not really a big fan of the whole Hollywood of hacking tho..) but they picked some bad actors imo
sturdy crater
Does the unlock work
sturdy crater
Wait.. You can jailbreak phones from the browser?
pale sigil
Correct
Not like it used to be sadly
Have to run the exploit every time you shut down your iPad
timid chasm
first one I ever used on my iphone 4 was a browser jb
pale sigil
So logically the next step was to do this
@timid chasm was probably during Cydia days
timid chasm
yeah I didnt mind Cydia
pale sigil
These days there's no perma jailbreak :/
timid chasm
oh god I wouldnt even bother then
sturdy crater
If you can jailbreak from the browser I imagine you could also do a whole lot of other nasty things 🤔
pale sigil
I don't really shutdown my iPad
And it takes seconds to re jailbreak
So why not
I mostly use visual tweets

One thing I have come to realise losing my gpu is I really don't care that much, I've only played Warframe, I might not even bother getting an upgrade.
Actually a pretty good deal
toxic jolt
Why does increasing voltage let us OC more?
spice portal
More power → run at higher speed
You need more energy to perform more work.
Pretty basic physics.
reef patrol
Yep
pale sigil
Small micro atx cases that fit h100i
reef patrol
Too much voltage and you get too much heat though.

I'd rather get a corsair air 240

Wtf
reef patrol
These days getting a case without a window is often more expensive
pale sigil
Is your pic the v21
Has so many flaws
2016 tbf
@reef patrol any other suggestions
toxic jolt
But how physically does more power = faster clock speed
Doesn't electricity always move at the same speed, or does voltage influence that
reef patrol
I liked the case 😦
pale sigil
I would consider an air 240 but I don't think my gpu would fit without compromising
reef patrol
Unless you have a really long card, I think you'd be fine? Wouldn't hurt to pre-measure though.'
reef patrol
@toxic jolt . You're basically telling the hardware to run faster, which requires more power in turn. Instead of X instructions per cycle, it does Y now.
pale sigil
Also about the v21 I really don't like the mesh mansem
Especially the fact behind the mobo is see through meaning you can see all the wires
toxic jolt
So voltage will let you push more info through it?
Is voltshe frequency?
Voltage
It is
Accorsinf to google
I understand now
I got mercy passed in physical science
In high school lol
reef patrol
It's like an engine. If you push down harder on the pedal, the engine revs harder and uses more gas as a response.
In a nutshell 😄
toxic jolt
Physical science is where they teach you about electricity and cells and shit
Overall stuff
Physics was just motion and stuff for me
neat oriole
but what isn't physical
toxic jolt
Chemistry was elements
neat oriole
cells is biology tho
neat oriole
your chem course was called elements?
toxic jolt
Chem was chem
I meant that chemistry class was just elements and stuff
purple guy is correct
However I don't know much about most things I talk about
sturdy crater
Never personally understood how people failed any of the sciences.. That was always so easy for me. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was when they did those complex squares. I understood it but took a while to fill it out
sturdy crater
Didn't care? So they just gave everyone a's?
pale sigil
No, just sat us down, made us fill shit In and so exams
Every lesson was literally watch this or just fill in random question papers
sturdy crater
Did they tell you the answer to the exams so they could get their bonus?
pale sigil
We did anything with equipment
latent mural
Not everyone has patience to do useless calculations well year after year
pale sigil
When it came to coursework yes
They give us the wrong work 3 times in the same year
We had to come in on Saturdays
And basically copy the tutor
Not even exaggerating
sturdy crater
What happened if you didn't come in?
pale sigil
Idk I went in
Lol
Also
Another fun thing
The way work was examined
They would choose 3 students work to judge our tutors marking
I happened to me one
So during lunch we'd just sit there copying for days
An entire years worth
Because they kept giving us the wrong coursework both the last 2 years
I loved science so so much
But when shit like that happens
You just stop caring
sturdy crater
That sounds like the opposite of loving
sturdy crater
Well.. Sounds like you went to a very shitty school
pale sigil
Eh it was science and English I had a shitty experience with
English I was well in the lower classes
They didn't care, every time we had a lesson they would move us to another room with a ta
While the higher classes had our teacher to do revision
sturdy crater
With English all you gotta do is look up words no one knows and bs shit. I thought everyone knew the trick
pale sigil
Fun story, one time we were doing work and we got given a scenario
It was something like a boy called tommy sitting in the middle of the room
sturdy crater
I did a whole report on apples to annoy my teacher once

I forgot to take it out...
I was with friends and we were joking about it

Anyways tho.. One time I was away for a week and they gave me a bunch of shit to do.. I came in misunderstood the topic and thought she was asking me to create my own religion.. Instead she was telling me to write about mysticism
I ended up getting some people to join my cult tho
So it's all good. And she gave me a good grade.
Tbh I think she may have had the hots for me
She constantly flirted with me
I think some guy actually Setup a site about my cult
Basically my cult was Scientology but with the holy grail and some more Christian esque feelings

I have a i7 4790K anyone know if itll be a smart idea to upgrade my gpu to a 1080ti?
Like if it wont get bottlenecked
sturdy crater
Its fine
People are still using 2600ks
Noted you could get a small fps boost by upgrading your cpu but the cpu won't be a huge bottleneck.
Would recommend just over clocking if ya haven't already tho
timid chasm
4790ks are still pretty killer just a pain to upgrade since they require other expensive upgrades
Gotta bite that bullet eventually 😛
spice portal
When I need to upgrade my CPU, I also need to upgrade the mobo, which probably means also replacing the RAM. :/

Im in the same boat for an I5 of that generation.. I have it for a while now, but paired with my 970 i still don't see a reason to upgrade

Soooo I’m the guy with the strange mic situation. My mic still doesn’t work, but it’s way worse now. When I plug my headset in the monitor I have really bad sound and only sound in left ear. When I plug it in the laptop, really bad sound as well. I tried reinstalling drivers, it still doesn’t work. I tried removing all audio devices, but now I have lots of audio issues + REALLY bad audio.

well since you said now
go into your audio device settings and check what sample rate it uses, e.g. 22khz instead of 44.1

any ideas?

i cant even use ftp
nah they just blocked ftp in explorer somehow

can you even ftp

you can but you need to install the tftp in add and remove programs

has anyone here experience with custom keyboard layouts? I created one with the windows tool that is basically the US layout but with Z and Y swapped, and it works in most cases, but some games/programms dont acknowledge it. For example I can press Z and it shows a Z in the textfiles but I need to press Ctrl+ Y for the change back function for example
or in some games I press Z and it types a Z in chat but when I bind the key in the menu it shows a Y as the bound key
hexed gyro
@ashen spindle it has to do with the keyboard HID, the game reads the keyboard keys as an index number and returns a value based on the language layout.
Question is, is it only the game binding display or also the actual input
ashen spindle
I see, interresting
is there a way to check that/change it so it behaves how I want it to behave?
oh it's not just in games btw, I press z and it shows a z but I need to press Ctrl+Y in Visual studio for example
hexed gyro
Well not sure what tool you used, but you could also just swap Y and Z using DKS in an analog profile
ashen spindle
oh yeah guess I could try that
hexed gyro
DKS will be for each profile in a future iteration, work in progress 😃
(As part of the full programmability)
ashen spindle
huh guess I'll end up using one analog profile with no analog bindings just to work around that haha

Quick question, has anyone used the Anne pro 2 and if so, do you recommend?
spice portal
(One of the smaller reasons I gave in and switched to US ANSI.)
latent mural
@plush summit Don't quite remember what 8 embedded had, but 8.1 embedded pro industry (plain old embeded) had more features than win pro, not less.
pliant tulip
highly doubt it
nobody likes overhead in embedded systems
I’m fairly sure it doesn’t even have directx
latent mural
well then you're wrong
The idea is you install(block/uninstall) the components you need
that's what i did with 8.1
e.g. you can block different usb ports \o/
plush summit
Windows 8 embedded had all of the cool stuff with the reduced CPU usage
I'm seriously thinking of taking advantage of that reduce CPU usage
latent mural
I did sort of feel like i had better low latency driver stuff on 8.1 embeded, but never really measured
ashen spindle
@digital cliff Yeah makes sense after hearing how it works, I just always assumed you’d change inputvalues when you change it and that it’s not just based of language, especially in something like VS
I just wanted to use US layout to get used to it bc it’s a lot better for coding bc äöü are replaced with ;: brackets etc. but had to swap z and y bc I still have a laptop with normal EU layout
spice portal
"normal EU layout" 
Lots of EU keyboards still use QWERTY, so there's no "swapping z and y". German uses QWERTZ, French uses AZERTY (not z and y swapped, but does have different Z position), apparently Belgian uses some weird thing (when not using US ANSI QWERTY), …
spice portal
was a "NORDIC" layout user for most of his life, which is QWERTY
ashen spindle
Yeah but I can’t switch keys on my laptop and then It’ll take me ages to get used pressing a key that shows Z to get a Y
Well not really but it’s in my field of vision often when I type on my laptop
spice portal
I gave in to US ANSI after getting a US laptop. Since I do like 90% of my typing on the laptop anyway, it became so weird when I switched to my NORDIC ISO layout on my desktop… so I got a US ANSI keyboard for that too. :p
And now I'll be getting my 2nd (3rd?) US ANSI keyboard sooon! :such impatient:
ashen spindle
Probably just getting a ansi laptop whenever I have to get a new one so at that time I’ll only need to get used to two keys switching place instead of a lot more so that’ll make it easier too

tall finch
Except you don't have to use the godawful apple updater
Well it could have been done weird UWP port with different features
But it's not
crimson wigeon
That is correct, although 3rd party drivers do add USB 3.0 support
ashen spindle
yeah have a 6s plus, can't use it on my pc because I only have USB3 ports
for for itunes or getting pictures from it I need to use my laptop
bc there it works even thought it's usb3 on the laptop aswell
it installs the drivers and some stuff knows there is an iphone plugged in but I still can't acess it
yeah but its apple so they probably put in extra work to make sure it doesnt work
if its the wire why would it work on the laptop
also tried a different one, not the wire
its only the iphone
crimson wigeon
Hmmm...
ashen spindle
it's a brand new z370 board I last summer
so not like some first gen usb3 ports
reset windows at one point
nope
apple
updated bios when spectre/meltdown patches came out
ehhh I heavily doubt I need to seperately install usb3 drivers
10
apple
lol
shit company, got it extremely cheap otherwise I doubt I'd use it
uh no, some parts see there is a device connected some don't, don't remember where though, been months since I last tried it
idk then they'd be apple hating usb ports
maybe I was able to see ubt not access, idk anymore
yeah I wont even try it out to see where it shows up because it works on the laptop, I barely need to use it and I'm not doing work for apple to not be shit

@proud nacelle that’s my average day
100mb/s means shit if my connection is unstable
You would think so yes
Eh that’s an old pic
Couldn’t be bothered getting an updated one while I’m ob my lgine

This week alone it’s been unbearable
I do not
And I get 2mb/a
On 4g
I really hope Samsung are speedy with my phone recovery
I wanna stop using this iPhone asap
With my luck
Not a chance

As much as I shit on apple
They did something awesome once in their lifetime
Which was give me u2 albums free
Well everyone
tall finch
I remember the backlash when they did that lol
pale sigil
@tall finch what backlash
pale sigil
Let me guess, this money could have been given to Africa kids
Oh I remember the whole putting there album in people’s libraries who don’t want it
neat oriole
I don’t think I ever got the U2 album on my phone
ashen spindle
me neither thankfully
neat oriole
But frankly I didn’t understand why people were angry
Like for one there is a delete button and frankly the album would’ve taken up no more than 100mb of space
neat oriole
Never heard it but hey it’s free music
ashen spindle
not what I like to listen to from my phone so it's basically bloatware if I'd compare it to a laptop
neat oriole
It’s linked to your account and I think you can keep it in your account but not on any of your devices
ashen spindle
uh sure?
pale sigil
Man, free music is music
ashen spindle
it can be one of the best songs ever, if I don't want to listen to it I don't want it idk where the issue is
pale sigil
You'd hate my NAS.
ashen spindle
if it's free and you can download it as an option? perfect, but apparently that wasn't the case
pale sigil
or my old works brenda
Download you can ye.
In my old workplace we had 8tb dedicated to music
ashen spindle
on your phone?
pale sigil
Well, no, i guess not if you mean the 8tb music.
ashen spindle
lot less annoying then as a comparison, you can't remove music from your phone as easily as on a pc
fresh mulch
I'm with Quintosh on this one. Back when I was a tribal pc user one of the things I damned the most when interacting with my then gf's Mac book, was how Apple liked to assume you wanted things without asking.
ashen spindle
I just have a list of songs/tracks, lots of soundtracks from games etc. and I usually just hit random on all songs
so some random music I don't want would be annoying
pale sigil
All you need to say
Was what if it was justic bieber
this discussion would have been over instantly
xD
ashen spindle
I mean if I'm honest I dont think I ever listend to any of his songs so I can't really judge that
fresh mulch
It was also a different time. I rocked a 512mb MP3 player when the first iPod was out. Space was more valuable.
yes my first one was a 128mb. Could fit one playlist on it lol
or 25 tracks

This was in 2014/5 though

When i get my m2 sata im going to make a partician for windows... its goes out of control on how big windows is. I swear to god.
spice portal
Yeah. Just make the whole thing one Btrfs partition and then use subvolumes instead.
( #LinuxMasterrace )
reef patrol
spice portal
Well, it was Mansen that said partitioning was an outdated concept. :p My laptop has two partitions: one boot/EFI partition, one encrypted one (which is one big btrfs file system underneath the encryption).
reef patrol
And I meant it! 😄

spice portal
@fresh mulch What do you want/need to know? (Also, http://sol.gfxile.net/dontask.html )

Anyone know if it's necessary to compile DLL's to link the Wooting up to Aurora?
I have never compiled anything in my life. So installing Visual Studio is daunting

@pale sigil i had in the past, Linux box with software raid and samba. Replaced it with a synology nas

I have one running... Uh. Forgot what it's called.
halcyon moss
Freenas?
reef patrol
FreeNAS?
halcyon moss
Which is freebsd I think
reef patrol
Just JBOD though. No fancy raid, Plex or anything
pale sigil
Aye I have the same nas as you atm
halcyon moss
It needed a graphics card.. Didn't want to use my power slurping gpu, so I put in a Nvidia tnt

@fresh mulch What are you trying to do? If you're just trying to use your Wooting One with Aurora it should work out of the box
fresh mulch
Aurora says it's connected to the WootingOne, but the lighting stays as I've set it in the Wootility. It does change the lighting on my mouse. But if it's supposed to work out of the box, I'll keep looking around the program and see if I've missed something.
I kept ending up at the RGB SDK page, so thought I needed to create a DLL.
pale sigil
My friend lent me his 750
Now I can play the beta lol
@reef patrol thanks for the advice, did what you suggested with installing windows and it’s fine.
reef patrol
timid chasm
750? you need a newer more modern friend 😛
pale sigil
@timid chasm he has my old 970 xD
timid chasm
You give it to him or sell it to him?
pale sigil
Sold it for dirt
timid chasm
I would've given you the 750 too then 😛
timid chasm
Don't listen to me I make bad decisions. I've given away 4 gpus in total since I built my first gaming PC
probably why I'm more poor than wealthy
pale sigil
All I want is to play battlefield v tbh
And games that aren’t on steam, battle net or uplay
Also GeForce now servers have been poop the last few days for everyone
So I’ve not been able to game
timid chasm
why not steam battlenet or uplay
pale sigil
Because GeForce now doesn’t allow origin or any game outside of Steam etc
timid chasm
oh, that's a bit lame
pale sigil
Aye
timid chasm
I personally felt that bf v was decently optimized but anymore it's hard to tell if a game is well optimized
pale sigil
Haha
wispy ocean
does anyone here have any estimates on what it's gonna take to play Battlefield V @ high ~90 fps?
reef patrol
Someone did some quick checks the other day I believe.
pale sigil
💪
tall finch
beta performance is wild tho, my FPS fluctuates like crazy even on minimum settings with a 4770k and 1080Ti
one game I'll be locked at my cap(144), the next I'll be stuck in the 90s-100s
tall finch
tbh I saw the digital foundry video on ray tracing in BFV and it made me kinda sad I bought a 1 080ti instead of waiting for RTX lol
pale sigil
Makes me laugh that shadow of the raider can’t even be played on a 280ti and the game itself looks like shit
@tall finch I was being sarcastic
Can tell you now
Just like hair works, no dames will bother
tall finch
nah, ray tracing is legit but by the time it's widespread we'll probably be at least 1 more gen down the line anyway
but in FPSes I play on low settings so I would probably turn ray tracing off anyway
pale sigil
Also so far the price point is meh
If I can get a 1080ti for £500-550
I won’t bother
Tbh
With a 280
tall finch
thats what I did
tall finch
my 780Ti died and I found a 1080Ti for $550~ at the end of June
figured it would be at worst on par with a 2070 and probably similarly priced
tall finch
yeah you'd buy a used one and it'd catch on fire before you even put it in your PC with your luck
pale sigil
Lmao
reef patrol
I agree. RTX will be a SLI enthusiasts wet dream for at least this generation, unless devs tone it down VERY hard.
But it's definitely there to stay, since Raytracing has been a thing devs wanted for ages, but couldn't.
pale sigil
Ray tracing is just he new 4K
Just won’t be there for some time
We’ve only just got 144p running as well as 1080p
ashen spindle
damn thats pretty cheap
oh wait for a second I thought its a Ti
still a nice drop in price compared to the highs this year
pale sigil
My 1070 cost more xD
Part of me is like get it just get it
But I’m going to hold out haha
haughty condor
wispy ocean
hahahahah wtf
I'd rather play 1440p 144hz than 4K @60 btw
also, I finally fixed my mic issue
latent mural
ew
pale sigil
Damn the 750 cant even handle BFV
tall finch
worse than integrated?
pale sigil
not much better
timid chasm
Is a target goal of 1080/60 acceptable for the 2080 Ti to any of you? Seems a bit meh to me.
reef patrol
With RTX on it seems realistic.
timid chasm
but do you think only having 60 fps as the goal is acceptable performance for a $1200 card or should they be aiming for higher?
latent mural
the fps will surely improve with time by like <20%
@timid chasm I don't think that was/will be anyone's target fps
Then with rtx stuff off it would yield like 60 fps more then
Who would trade that for slightly better shadows and slightly better reflections?
which dev would even bother implementing that
tall finch
I dont think 60FPS is an issue for the target. If you were pushing the resolution you wouldnt expect it to go past that as a "first gen" card
but 1080p/60fps is pretty gross on the surface given that we have 2yr old budget GPUs that can do that in non-RTX games
ashen spindle
well it's 1080/60 as a goal for first gen technology with limited time for devs to implement it
so personally I think that's a fine goal as long as there are plans to improve it going forward(from devs and nvidias site)
tall finch
ye
I'm curious to see how older GPUs handle ray tracing and if it just cripples older GPUs or you're talking about 2080TI doing 1080p/60 while a 1080Ti is stuck at 540p/60FPS or something
and how/if upscaling works with rays
tall finch
cause I think it was digital foundry that said that DICE was messing with an arbitrary ray resolution+upscaling to help with performance issues
ashen spindle
I just want reviews to finally be out
and get my hands on a card in the near-ish future to see what else it can be used for
bc I doubt it's limited to ray's beeing traced from the screen, so it could be something to finally allow raytracing in games for other features without it crippling performance
toxic jolt
LOL

I'm building my first RGB build ever, thinking if Aurora does support Asus Aura SDK

@rugged pelican

@digital cliff I realized my laptop does not have a wooting keyboard so I can't use wootility to switch z and y, do you have a solution for that aswell? 😅 My idea was to use an ISO layout and switch everything instead of using an ANSI layout and switch z and y there ( to make ctrl z work)
well to get used to us ansi I wanted to switch my layout on my laptop to ansi aswell, it's a iso layout so I'll put a paper or something over the buttons to make ö into a ;: key etc.
but if I tell my laptop to use us ansi I'll have the same issues with ctrl z again
well no, it is a iso keyboard but I tell widnows to use the ansi layout
I want ansi but with qwertz and not qwerty,
yeye
my bad just woke up so I probably explained it a bit weird
do you have a link to a site where I can see what keys I need to change in the registry?
reef patrol
OR just make a new keyboard profile.
reef patrol
Worked for me with turning ANSI into a faux ISO 😄
reef patrol
Whichever. You literally choose which button does what.
You map every key, as well as key combinations.
ashen spindle
well that's the issue, if I just tell windows to use a us ansi profile but with z and y switched it works for texts etc. but CTRL Z grabs the info from the keycode, not from where I tell it to have Z
ehh, my muscle memory is too good for that lmao it'd take forever
yeah but that's easier than changing something you learned
well it's z y and the rest of the ansi/iso differences
yes there is, getting them to chane the default us layout to have qwertz hehehe
yeah I'm gonna make some paper symbols and put it over the keys lmao
unless I find a better solution for that
wooting laptop when
huh that's neat, I'll try that
thanks
yeah I know, had to be in there to disable some win10 stuff lmao
uhh am I blind or is there no download on the page?
yeah but I'm used to them either having it there for download or at least linking it somewhere
just got me confused
ergh that's why I hate if it's not directly linked, every tech site that isn't from the developer is just filled with shit ads and such where you never know if it's a download button or an add pretending to be one
well looks like it worked, thanks

what the fuck are you even attempting to do

I'd just get 2 fhd monitors at this point
surround is overrated anyway
it won't give you too much of an advantage in siege
you do know you'd have to render all those pixels
costing your frames
dunno, all maxed out siege on 1440p runs for me on about 70 solid
opportunity cost
make dollars; acquire monitors with your newly earned dollars
problem solved
right, when you said dollars, I automatically assumed US
toxic jolt
It's true
I mean I live in Canada and I can do that, but I get your frustration
Either, I had a crazy idea
With the new RTX cards, what if someone made an antialiasing method like MSAA, except powered purely off of edge detection and raytracing
No silly texture loading, no bullshit, just throw it in the game and boom it works
@proud nacelle where do you live?

You could always do reg hacks to set a custom res
Just may scale weirdly depending on the game
As in game reg hacks
Btw.. There are online tech support jobs that pay 20 cad/hr if ya can't find any good jobs near you
And they're generally staffed by idiots so anyone with some knowledge of computers will be fine

didn't read the whole conversation but you can use CRU to fake the EDID data to make the screens say they hive a different native res

It is. You can only use it after getting the upgrade from the government
I read some random article about government pushing to upgrade humans
And apparently they had plans to make it so those who don't upgrade won't have certain benefits
