#

Which are awesome but stupid

sullen quail
#

Yeah but ram is volatile memory meaning it needs power to store the information. They just took the need to move the data from the ssd to the ram meaning no lost times as it can access all the data all the time.

lost iron
#

That would need an insane amount of ram

#

How much is this Xbox meant to be packing?

#

The average game is 20+ GB now

#

And OS for a console

sullen quail
#

Nah it's just sad storage needed. A 1tb ssd is all that would be needed. Plus cloud storage (azure) is used too

lost iron
#

That would be slower then an SSD though

#

Becuase you then have ping time to contact the azure server

#

Then get the data

#

Then download or stream it

#

Sounds to me like Microsoft are spurting a whole lot of bullshit

#

SSDs are fast but they aren't RAM fast and even with the best nvme SSD's to date we can't get zero.load time

sullen quail
#

Well they have tech that turns multiple ssd drives (soldered into the board so no bottleneck) into virtual ram or the ram for the system. It's faster because it doesn't have to load the data into ram in the first place. That's why there is no load time because it is already loaded

lost iron
#

That's not how it works though

#

SSDs are as fast as their bus

#

And no storage bus is as fast as the bus for RAM

#

AMD infinity fabric would be as close as we can get

#

But even then we are limited by the SSDs speed

#

Which is still slower then RAM

sullen quail
#

Yes and in this case it's on the board so it's linked directly to the processors. The loading times come from transferring data from the storage to ram

lost iron
#

SSDs are still only so fast

#

I'm no electrical engineer so I can't know for certain but to me it sounds like Microsoft are squirting water up their own arse

#

I have to jump off for the evening though now

#

Interesting conversation, feel free to add to it.
I will read it tomorrow

pallid cedar
#

"Xbox Project Scarlett will also combine all of that super fast DDR6 memory we mentioned earlier with an SSD drive, and the results sound incredibly impressive. "We’ve created a new generation of SSDs... We’re using the SSD as virtual RAM," Microsoft said during the reveal video (linked up top), and the result will effectively make loading times a thing of the past. It'll make your favorite games smoother and faster, ironing our creases in performance. In theory, this should boost core performance 40 times over what the current generation is offering in this department. "

#

the SSDs they are adding are not the typical ones available to consumers currently. They are proprietary.

bronze seal
#

is this the xbox 2?

dark quarry
#

Apple have been using proprietary SSDs for years in the MacBook Air. As Doot states, there is still a bus controller between the processors, system storage and RAM, that may or may not bottleneck throughput.

#

There are also reports out that the PS5 is still looking to be faster and more powerful than Scarlett, based on the dev kits for each.

chrome chasm
#

In the end the only major change console gonna get is the SSD. Console won't be running a 2080ti equivalent.

pallid cedar
#

Apple's tech is not the same as MS tech

#

Apple has a different proprietary system, not as new

#

project Scarlett is running an RTX 2070 equivalent

#

reportedly

abstract tulip
#

Scarlett running a rtx2070, then yeah it wont be at a low price pepeLaughters

pallid cedar
#

the processor is a Navi APU chipset

#

no one said it would be a low price

chrome chasm
#

And when that release people will be running 3080ti+ on pc

dark quarry
#

Yeah, not sure too many people will be in the market for an $800 console.

abstract tulip
#

thats the selling point of consoles, the low price. and in sonys case the exklusives.

pallid cedar
#

if it can run 8K for $800 yeah, there is a market for that

abstract tulip
#

if the prices are mega high. then pepole would just get a pc at that point GWgoaThinken

pallid cedar
#

my pc cost me 2

#

$2500

#

vs 600

#

800*

#

and I can't run 8K

#

soooo yeah

chrome chasm
#

8k wont happen. It used as marketing

#

To grab easy sale

pallid cedar
#

lol 8 k already exists

#

they don't say GAMES at 8k

dark quarry
#

8K already exists in Japan.

pallid cedar
#

it's like the Xbox One S playing MOVIES at 4k

chrome chasm
#

For gaming

abstract tulip
#

8k for 800. if its not upscaled like a heck. and its legit 8k. then il take shots to that.

pallid cedar
#

^

#

gaming on Scarlett will most likely be 4k

#

maybe at 60fps max

#

120fps is for 1080 or maybe 1440 mode

abstract tulip
#

but last time i checked unicorns arent real. and consoles are still running games poorly.

pallid cedar
#

consoles are 5 years old

chrome chasm
#

I'll just upgrade my pc at that point. All ms game are on pc. The only console worth getting is nintendo/ps for the exclusive.

pallid cedar
#

Navi is brand-new tech

#

so is Ryzen

#

my xbox one x runs games fairly well, not sure what you're on

#

the regular xbox one is a bit dated now, for sure

dark quarry
#

Even from PS4 Pro to PC, Destiny 2 on PC (even using a lowly 1050Ti) looks 1500% better, and runs 60+FPS.

chrome chasm
#

And yes. Console run game well because devs can focus on a single device. Then only optimise 1 set of component. Removing and adjusting eye candy to have a stable game.

pallid cedar
#

as for most of your games being on pc, I can get behind that. Most of my games are for xbox since my older pc fried and I couldn't replace it for 5 years :/

#

lol ps4 blows

#

even the pro

dark quarry
#

Runs God of War a lot better than XBox... lol

pallid cedar
#

but for example, a game like Prey runs at almost identical texture and effects levels on my xbox one x as my ryzen 2700 + RTX 2060 OC combo, my pc just gets 140+fps on 1080, vs the 30ish on console

#

I mean, exclusive, so duh

#

lol

chrome chasm
#

30 vs 140+

pallid cedar
#

same effects and fidelity though, which is my point, I get that 30 is far below 140, the point is a console handling a game with the same fidelity as a pc. Visuals are the same, minus the smoothness

harsh terrace
#

most of time no

pallid cedar
#

people look at consoles as such inferior things when they have their place

harsh terrace
#

Consoles are very slow, even at their price point

pallid cedar
#

most of the time- it depends on the devs

chrome chasm
#

In this case. Devs focused on visual over gameplay. A stupid mistake... very very stupid mistake for a fps game.

pallid cedar
#

for an RPG* fps

chrome chasm
#

You want the best fps

pallid cedar
#

single-player

#

I want fps in competitive

chrome chasm
#

Idc about sp rpg fps

#

Its fps first and foremost

pallid cedar
#

Prey is a single player rpg

dark quarry
#

Yep. I’d like to see the $400 PC that runs Assassin’s Creed Odyssey at anything better than 30fps.

pallid cedar
#

^

#

I mean, it prob could at like 720p or lower 😛

#

a low settings

#

all*

harsh terrace
#

my $1500 computer doesnt run that game... its so poorly optimized

pallid cedar
#

:/ mine does

abstract kite
#

consoles exist because of people not interested in technics and just want something that works out of thee box
that's what I learnt at my job, it's also why apple sells shit

pallid cedar
#

is your $1500 pc intel or Ryzen?

#

cause AC was made with Ryzen in mind was it not?

harsh terrace
#

again... its poorly optimized

#

i shouldn't be getting 20fps on all low

pallid cedar
#

consoles exist because it makes the developers job easier to make a game that knows everyone uses the same components

harsh terrace
#

LOL

pallid cedar
#

OOF Bella, that's rough

harsh terrace
#

it makes their job harder

pallid cedar
#

I run it just fine :/

harsh terrace
#

they have to spend A LOT of time optimizing

pallid cedar
#

a console doesn't make a dev's job harder? what?

#

LOL they spend FAR more time optimizing a game to be able to be playerd on numerous combinations of components of varying specs

chrome chasm
#

Console actually slow down PC progression.

pallid cedar
#

pc is more involved than console

abstract kite
#

there are more tools on pc

harsh terrace
#

they dont.... Nvidia/AMD does most of that

dark quarry
#

Now ya’ll got me wanting to pick up ACO on PC to see if my laptop will run it. It’s an i7-7700HQ with a GTX 1050Ti 3GB.

pallid cedar
#

it'll run, Steve. Just not amazingly

#

it's def one of the new games that requires high-end gaming components

chrome chasm
#

Yes you can run it. Just adjust setting appropriatly.

pallid cedar
#

Sorry but Nvidia doesn't take AC after it's been made and optimize the game for the devs

#

just doesn't happen

harsh terrace
#

Drivers do most of the work

abstract kite
#

DoW 3 performance was pure garbage, 40fps 1080p on a 1070

harsh terrace
#

Devs still have to optimize, but not nearly as much time with a PS4 or Xbox

pallid cedar
#

sorry, that's simply not correct

#

a console has a single apu

#

one major optimization

#

p[cs have NUMEROUS different components requiring MANY optimizations for each component

#

just straightforward

abstract kite
#

but all those apu are always different

#

it's worse

pallid cedar
#

, no they aren't

chrome chasm
#

If it was that easy. Devs would make gtfo on console at the same time. It is not.

abstract kite
#

pc have different but they work the same

pallid cedar
#

the same APUs are in all Xbox one consoles

chrome chasm
#

Porting to console are extra work

pallid cedar
#

man, people don't seem to uinderstand a console IS a pc

#

with specific OS and components

abstract kite
#

all pc with a 7700k have the same cpu, that's what you're saying

pallid cedar
#

all pc with a 7700k might have an entirely different GPU, HDD etc

abstract kite
#

each time a new console is released, it uses new hardware

pallid cedar
#

THE. Point.
Different combinations of components that have to work together properly for the game

harsh terrace
#

The architecture completely different from what modern cpus and gpus are, that most engines dont run well

abstract kite
#

pc-wise, x86 won't change

pallid cedar
#

if it was always on Nvidia, game dev patches wouldn't exist

harsh terrace
#

What

#

lol

pallid cedar
#

new consoles run x86 architechture, same as all new pcs

abstract kite
#

gcc isn't changing much too

chrome chasm
#

Its still harder to release on console. There a major reason why most game release first on PC.

#

It is easier

abstract kite
#

👆

chrome chasm
#

Console take a lot of time

pallid cedar
#

relrease on console is only har dbecause MS and Sony charge extra money to release on their storefront

abstract kite
#

because consoles are using specific hardware

pallid cedar
#

it's cheaper to release on pc

#

not really easier

abstract kite
#

time is money

pallid cedar
#

MS has a group dedicated to helping indie devs

abstract kite
#

then why all indie games are always released on pc?

chrome chasm
#

If they have a group to help. Its prolly a good sign it is NOT easy right?

harsh terrace
#

Sony is just a bitch to work with lol, if i made a game i'd never release on ps4

pallid cedar
#

because Indie devs generally don't have start-up capital, pc realease is generally free to nothing on steam

#

so pc first, make money, then port to console

abstract kite
#

that means nothing

chrome chasm
#

You don't just pay ms license to release a game on console and over. That not how it work.

abstract kite
#

you can yolo shit

#

for example: moonshell

#

an OS for nds

pallid cedar
#

they have a group to help new indie devs learn how to develop. Game develop isn't easy tobeing with, obviousaly.

abstract kite
#

true

pallid cedar
#

to begin with*

abstract kite
#

tools are usualy bad

pallid cedar
#

depends on the engine

#

same UE4 tools exist for pc and console

abstract kite
#

engines are mostly bad

pallid cedar
#

all made on a bigger pc, then imported to console to test

abstract kite
#

source is well made

harsh terrace
#

(unpopular opinion: Unity is far from a bad engine)

pallid cedar
#

like, no dev turns on an xbox console to develop a game on directly 😛 they all get made on powerful pcs then imported over to test

#

Unity has it's ups and downs

abstract kite
#

but they are mostly not useful enough or not optimised enough

pallid cedar
#

it works well enough, IF you can learn it well enough haha

harsh terrace
#

thats all engines lol

pallid cedar
#

really though lol

chrome chasm
#

Soo switching stance now XD

abstract kite
#

good games made with unity don't have the unity splashscreen, that explains the popular opinion

pallid cedar
#

who switched stances?

abstract kite
#

but yeah basicaly any framework is bad because you can't do exactly what you want in the best optimised way

harsh terrace
#

yeah

#

i found that out the hard way lol

pallid cedar
#

yeah most engines have to be modified slightly to allow the mechanics they want in their game

abstract kite
#

same, and opengl is a mess so I didn't manage to make a game :/

#

I probably shouldn't aim for vsync and all those thing first 🤔

#

I managed to find a way to map minecraft-like maps onto a planet

harsh terrace
#

minecraft is a masterpiece of code... or it was until ms got involved

pallid cedar
#

lol I never use v-sync

harsh terrace
#

its so lightweight

#

and optimized

abstract kite
#

minecraft is meh tbh

#

it uses default cube functions on java

pallid cedar
#

minecraft is scary

abstract kite
#

^

pallid cedar
#

the code was written in such an open way that there are game mechanics being used that were never intended

abstract kite
#

and it's definitely not well optimised

pallid cedar
#

like people using redstone to make multi0core cpus

abstract kite
#

the chunk loading is sooooooo fucking slooooooow

pallid cedar
#

insanity

chrome chasm
#

My PC can run Witcher 3 full ultra in 2K/60fps... but Minecraft? oof.. not in a thousands years

pallid cedar
#

whaaaa?

#

lol

#

my pc runs Minecraft at max XD

#

now, I don't use heavy mods.

harsh terrace
#

my netbook can run minecraft at 60fps?

pallid cedar
#

that will make a huge difference in performance

abstract kite
#

hey don't misunderstand, it surely works well on the worse computers (ikr) but I'm sad that it doesn't run much faster on my 2k€ rig

chrome chasm
#

btw it was /sarcasm XD

abstract kite
#

like damn the chunk loading

harsh terrace
#

i get 1000fps?

pallid cedar
#

oh lel

#

yeah same XD

abstract kite
#

fps isn't everything you know

#

osu runs at 5000fps

#

not surprising

harsh terrace
#

ik, my frame times and chunk loading is low

abstract kite
#

wew, managed to find my mc account password XD

harsh terrace
#

lol

pallid cedar
#

hahaha

abstract kite
#

to get back on the cpu on minecraft thing, I would like to say that I'm always very sad to see one

pallid cedar
#

like java version or MS?

abstract kite
#

because those guys could to those with real logic gates (and faster)

#

ms? like the minecraft bundled with win10?

pallid cedar
#

yeah it's a different version now that MS bought them

#

Java is old, easier to mod

abstract kite
#

idk I dropped after the 1.6.4

pallid cedar
#

ah

abstract kite
#

but I guess that if I'm using a launcher then I'm on the java version

#

1.14 oof

pallid cedar
#

if it's the original launcher, then yeah haha

#

the win10 version launches through the microsoft app or xbox or whatever

abstract kite
#

I remember when 1.9 was like the future, the end of the world

pallid cedar
#

I don't even know what they're on now

#

haven't touched it in a cpl years tbh

#

well, that's not true

abstract kite
#

talking about end, the end is soo weeird now

pallid cedar
#

I tested it on my new pc a cpl months ago, but only for like 1 min

abstract kite
#

yeah, I played 5 minutes once or twice in the last few years too

#

there's isn't much to do on this game

pallid cedar
#

the win10 version has a lot more updates

abstract kite
#

in about 2 years you did everything

pallid cedar
#

yeah

#

nowadays I don't know how long it would actually take someone to do everything in minecraft

#

so much random stuff added

abstract kite
#

woah the new map laoding is very nice

#

wtf 114 fps on a 1070

#

it still takes minutes to load the chunks :/

pallid cedar
#

lol

#

can't have everything I guess 😛

#

just a reg 1070? not a ti?

abstract kite
#

"just"

pallid cedar
#

lol still decent

abstract kite
#

YEAH I GUESS

pallid cedar
#

hahaha

abstract kite
#

for 1080p man

pallid cedar
#

GIT GUD SCRUB

#

haha I only kid

#

I only play in 1080p

#

1440 and 4 k are too expensive atm

#

I got lucky enough to find a 27" 1080p 144Hz minotor for $350 CAD

#

minotor? sure yeah

#

lol

abstract kite
#

see what I mean, I'm still between 110 and 120fps regardless if I'm with a 32 chunk radius ultra or a 12 chunk radius minimum settings

pallid cedar
#

fresh optimizations

abstract kite
#

got a 24" 1080p 144Hz monitor for 300€ 2 yeears ago

#

vg248qe

pallid cedar
#

for 2 years ago I think that's a decent price

abstract kite
#

ok ok

#

I'm just bad

pallid cedar
#

I think 300 euros is like almost 600 CAD oof

abstract kite
#

"framerate limit: 120"

#

now I'm hitting 1k fps XDDDD

pallid cedar
#

hahaha

abstract kite
#

and DAMN the coil whine

#

oooof

pallid cedar
#

oh snap

#

my pc is so quiet and fresh ahhhh 😃

abstract kite
#

can't hit faster than that

#

(tho it drops at 1600fps just by showing F3 XDDD)

pallid cedar
#

looool

hexed horizon
#

embarrasing

pallid cedar
#

lol apparently the MS version won't let me get over 72fps at fully maxed out settings lol 72 chunk render/view, 75 degree POV

#

guess the MS version has an fps cap of 144, somehow I have a type of v-sync on that limits me to 72 :/

#

can't see how to turn it off though haha gg MS

4k@144

fiery nacelle
white lake
#

Is an RTX 2080TI enogh for this Game? 😄

late sorrel
#

smdh overkill

#

You’d at the very least get like 500 FPS probably

hexed horizon
#

The game should run fine on mid range from years back.

fiery nacelle
#

@hexed horizon analyze the game's requirements

hexed horizon
#

Ehhh, alright.
Ludvig started testing older videocards a couple of months ago. The lowest he tried was the GTX650 videocard, from 2012. He said "the game runs fine", I assume that's 30FPS at max on 720p.
I looked it up, he mentioned the Intel Core i5-2500k. Which is roughly the same as the i5-4460 or Ryzen 3 1200, (at least thats what Userbenchmarks says)
So... the videocard is from 2012. The i5-4460 is from 2014. I think it's same to assume that the game will run on 2014 midrange computers.

#

And I'm a fricking dumbass about computers.

#

I guess Doot could explain it to you better.

#

I mean I don't really know how CPUs work, I just kinda look at Userbenchmarks and clock speeds...

late sorrel
#

Well assuming that the GTX970 is used to capture in-game footage, of which we know is 60fps and 1080p, I can safely assume that GTFO will run at about 180 FPS on GTFO.

#

(As long as it’s on the same settings)

fiery nacelle
#

180fps? Wowweee

#

Thanks @hexed horizon for the detailed breakdown

#

Seems like an i5 4440 or FX-6350 coupled with a GTX 660 2GB or HD 7870 2GB would be safe minimums

sick reef
#

Is it meant to be confusing with the Na'Vi names?

#

As in, inverting the numbers in correlation to performance, but still putting the high performing card as highest.

dense wasp
#

"I can safely assume that GTFO will run at about 180 FPS on GTFO." on GTFO?

abstract tulip
#

180, why not a billion Smile

dense wasp
#

180 fps would be sweet 🤷 😅

abstract kite
#

180 fps 1080p on two 2080ti would not be sweet

#

180 fps 4k on integrated graphics would be freaking sweet tho

fiery nacelle
#

Navi = last best chance to redeem PC gaming

hexed horizon
#

ok but can it run Crysis

fiery nacelle
#

Crysis can run on anything, the question is the frames and resolution

#

LOL

fiery nacelle
#

@eager sedge

#

if PC prices in your region are near 1 USD : 1 EURO

#

then a decent mini-ITX PC can be had for like 1500 euros

hexed horizon
#

1 usd should never equal 1 euro

fiery nacelle
#

oh but computer pricing in euro is expensive

hexed horizon
#

1 eur is 1.12 usd

fiery nacelle
#

a 1000 USD part in US often gets prices 1100 euros in europe

#

for some reason

hexed horizon
#

Yeah well

#

Kinda sucks

fiery nacelle
#

so the same PC that can be had in the US for 1500 USD you'd need probably 1700 euros

eager sedge
#

Yeah but its hard in germany... i am thinking now to go Nyderlands

fiery nacelle
#

isn't germany ideal for buying PC parts?

eager sedge
#

Well i am from another country so i am goiing to lithuania and other places so i need laptop 😃

fiery nacelle
#

ah I See

#

probs a new gaming laptop I guess

#

do you travel and stay for months on end or every day/week

eager sedge
#

For 3-4 months then goiing to other place

fiery nacelle
#

If you travel by car, mini-ITX isn't too bad, else better a gaming laptop

abstract kite
#

my setup cost me 2k€ 2 years ago, the tower alone 1700

#

7700k, 1070, 16GB 3.2GHz, 1080p 144Hz

#

it was the dream of my life (I waited this moment for 6 years)

#

for a medium budget gaming config as for today I'd choose 2060 + i5-9400F + 8GB

fiery nacelle
#

maybe can consider RX 5700 + R5 3600x + 16GB DDR4?

#

also 6 years? your previous build must have been really long lasting I guess?

late sorrel
#

nine years gang ✋

abstract kite
#

no I just didn't have any money (was in HS then uni)

#

it's because I was playing on a trashcan that I wanted soo badly something soo powerful

#

dual core 1.65GHz, no gpu, 4GB upgraded to 8

#

tho I expect this one to last freaking long

fiery nacelle
#

@late sorrel whoah seriously?

late sorrel
#

yee

fiery nacelle
#

@abstract kite ah ha uni

late sorrel
#

2500k, HD5670, 8gb of ram

#

I recently yeeted it off of my landing

#

idk, it was shit anyway

#

might as well help it along

fiery nacelle
#

2500k is passable if overclocked to 4.4

#

I had a 386, 486 in school then pentium III-450 in "high school" (O levels?)

#

Athlon thunderbird 1 Ghz + Geforce 2 GTS in uni/college

#

Athlon 64x2 + x1650xt > 9600gt after a year of work

abstract kite
#

which one is the most powerfull, athlon II or raspberry pi iyo?

fiery nacelle
#

most likely the Athlon II?

abstract kite
#

ok, because I have both of them at home and I use them the same way (running linux, access via ssh)

#

and a raspi is very convenient (just one wire to plug to a small board)

late sorrel
#

yee

abstract kite
#

so I was wondering if my harvested athlon II build was still worth

late sorrel
#

can confirm, have a pi3

abstract kite
#

funny thing, I got both of them for free XD

CSGO, GTFO will benefit from it im sure, most shooters really

APEX

#

PUBG

#

COD

silver sable
#

otherwise it woulda been here like next week

fleet canopy
#

I just bought the monitor today lol

silver sable
#

was only like $14 for 3 day shipping

fleet canopy
#

To be honest, I'm most likely going to be stuck playing Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out lol

#

I have more games that are single player on the wish list so 144hz is no point in getting it

silver sable
#

@fleet canopy makes sense

#

I like competitive shooters so 144 makes more sense for me

#

I'll most likely be playing A LOT of APEX

#

and other shooters n such

#

no PUBG tho lol

#

hate that game and the developer(s)

fleet canopy
#

PUBG is goo- true

#

PUBG could have been alright

silver sable
#

Yea it could of been a lot better but the game itself isn't even what drove me away

harsh terrace
#

144Hz is great for every game tho

fleet canopy
#

Only for FPS

#

For smoothness

#

But eh

#

I've been stuck at 60 FPS

#

Better than 15 FPS on PD2

silver sable
#

and maybe I'm a bit childish about it but honestly Brandon Greene drove me away from the game.. his attitude towards Epic Games and trying to claim copy right n shit that Fortnite copied his game n everything and trying to actually pursue it with the courts like idk.. just didn't sit right with me

#

If HE actually had won that case

#

it would of throw decades of games into the fold

fleet canopy
#

I'll get a 144hz monitor when I get my PC

silver sable
#

cause Quake 3 Area and Unreal Tournament are almost the same game

#

the original q3 arena came out about the same time the original unrea did

#

and many other games that look very similar as well

#

no different than all these dances Fortnite keeps adding to their game and the people who makeup the dances try to pursue it in court.. like freedom of expression isn't protected by copyright sorry

fleet canopy
#

kek

silver sable
#

It's funny too because all of the cases have been shot down

#

so all these celebrities are paying tons of money to sue and they get no where lol

fleet canopy
#

lmao

fiery nacelle
#

@harsh terrace your avatar has changed...

fleet canopy
#

We people change avatars all the time

#

We all recognize it

#

Somehow someone might not notice

fiery nacelle
#

@fleet canopy you've changed yours as well too right?

fleet canopy
#

Yes

#

...For unrelated reasons...

fiery nacelle
#

In preparation of a *brand new 144Hz monitor"... ahhh

#

Just joking, unless your animated gifs play at 144 fps

fleet canopy
#

Hmm?

#

Oh

harsh terrace
#

Mhm @fiery nacelle

#

Kinda out of the blue ping lol

unique lion
fleet canopy
#

What about it owo

harsh terrace
#

The revamp sucks lol

#

It's clunkier in spots it wasn't before

#

Although some of the new stuff is nice

dense wasp
#

@silver sable nice to see you here again 👌🏻

pallid cedar
#

if I may interject, I do not consider free-for-all or team-deathmatches like Quake 2 or Unreal Tournament to be anything similar to PUBG.
PUBG's battle royale style of gameplay was only ever seen once before, in Arma 2 Battle Royale.
Which is a mod for Arma 2 made by, wait for it, Brendan Greene in 2013, and he also worked on the H1Z1 King of the Hill battle royale game mode with Daybreak.
Brendan's problem is that he never copyrighted his work on the mod, nor on PUBG, nor for H1Z1 KOTH, and tried to retroactively copyright it and sue developers who had made similar battle royale style games when they essentially had every right to do so.
I don't like what Brendan Greene did either, but he was technically trying to protect his intellectual property, just ignorantly.
Though, the Battle Royale japanese movie was made before his mod, so it would stand that they would have more rights to sue than he does, if it weren't for the separation of legalities between film and video games.
It's all a mess really lol

#

also 144Hz is great for every game 😛 ESPECIALLY fps, racing, flight sim, really anything that has fast motion in it haha

thorny granite
#

Step one to getting a great pc...

pallid cedar
#

save monies

thorny granite
#

Buy a legit gaming computer that actually works before you have to build that shit.

#

Step two. Upgrades.

pallid cedar
#

nah

#

no reason to pay more to a 3rd party for a pre-built

fleet canopy
#

Ree

thorny granite
pallid cedar
#

just go watch how-to-build vids from Linustechtips, Jayztwocentz, Bitwit and you're good to go 😛

fleet canopy
#

Hehe no

#

:3

#

Prebuilt are boring and meh

pallid cedar
#

a laptop is a different beast

fleet canopy
#

You get it for good things but it’s boring

pallid cedar
#

I would not advise to build your own laptop lol

fleet canopy
#

You want to build it for fun and save monies

#

Not laptops no

thorny granite
#

Well. I bought my laptop, and I’ve upgraded it since.

pallid cedar
#

if you want ASUS, buy ASUS parts and put it together yourself 😛 save hundreds

thorny granite
#

It has put quite a few desktops to shame in its time.

fleet canopy
#

Asus everything? Oh god...

pallid cedar
#

and quite a few desktops put it to shame

#

what are it's specs anyways?

thorny granite
#

It’s getting old now, but it’s still a great computer.

fleet canopy
#

I might get a 1070 Ti for the 1440p monitor and for vr maybe

#

The PC comes from my money though not my family’s

thorny granite
#

It’s got an i7, an Nvidea GeForce 1060, 32 GB of ram, and 8TB worth of hard drive space.

fleet canopy
#

Oh Jesus

thorny granite
#

I bought mine as well.

fleet canopy
#

What i7 though

pallid cedar
#

for the price of a 1070ti you could get an RTX card

thorny granite
#

52k hz

#

I believe.

#

Let me check. Lmao.

pallid cedar
#

1060 isn't terrible, but it is pushing the limits of being obsolete nowadays sadly

#

the new games are getting hardcore

fleet canopy
#

Hmm

pallid cedar
#

8TB of storage is decent, but is that all on HDD, or is the OS on an SSD?

fleet canopy
#

So which card over 1070 Ti

thorny granite
#

The os is on an SSD

pallid cedar
#

if I'm not mistaken, the 1070Ti uses GDDR5 ram right?

#

how big is the SSD Sirus?

thorny granite
#

You’re probably mistaken... ddr5 is not cost effective at a consumer level right now

#

It’s 256 gigabytes, but it has only the OS on it...

pallid cedar
#

lemme just compare some prices for the 1070Tis vs some other cards.
a shitty 1070Ti on pcpartpicker shows %519.99 USD

#

a shitty RTX 2070 is $459.99 USD

#

RTX 2070 is 8GB of GDDR6 ram

fleet canopy
#

Mmh

#

What is 2060 price

pallid cedar
#

the shittiest/cheapest 2060 is $319.99

#

6GB of GDDR6 ram

fleet canopy
#

Not bad

pallid cedar
#

but that 6GB will run faster than the 8GB of GDDR5

thorny granite
#

Also I somehow completely missed the G part of GDDR5

pallid cedar
#

lel 😛

thorny granite
#

Go home me... i’m drunk...

pallid cedar
#

it happens

fleet canopy
#

Could definitely go for a 2060

pallid cedar
#

but yeah an RTX 2070 is cheaper than a 1070Ti, and nets about a 15% performance increase

fleet canopy
#

Along with 2 TB HDD

pallid cedar
#

plus, Ray Tracing is nice lol

fleet canopy
#

True

pallid cedar
#

I have an ROG STRIX RTX 2060 OC and it's been amazing

fleet canopy
#

Mobile sucks ass lmao gimme the comparison to 1060 3GB and 2060

pallid cedar
#

about a 51% performance increase lol

fleet canopy
#

T Hanks

pallid cedar
#

and that's a 1060 6GB XD

thorny granite
#

Yea. Strait up DDR5 isn’t actually Available quite yet... some time this year... it’s expected to be ungodly expensive

pallid cedar
#

so probably a 70+% performance increase

#

yeah regular RAM modules are still DDR4, GPU uses GDDR ram

fleet canopy
#

3GB

#

Ree

#

That’s what I own lmao

pallid cedar
#

62% increase

#

big boost

thorny granite
#

It’s expected that bitcoin mining will cause the price of ddr5 to increase dramatically after release.

pallid cedar
#

bitcoin mining is dying

#

costs too much power-wise

dusty pumice
#

Lmfao bitcoin mining

fleet canopy
#

Ye

pallid cedar
#

why RAM and GPU prices have been falling steadily

dusty pumice
#

is that stil a thing?

fleet canopy
#

Also I might just get 2070 instead

#

And yeah

dusty pumice
#

I only thought that was stil a thing in countrys where power is cheap as fuck

fleet canopy
#

Just a crappy investment though

thorny granite
#

Yes... but the ddr5 will be lower power, and make it cheeper.

pallid cedar
#

it's almost dead

fleet canopy
#

Bitcoin is 9k

pallid cedar
#

not low enough power

dusty pumice
#

Theres other better things to invest into now that bitcoin is pretty low in value

thorny granite
#

Well... we won’t really know until it gets here. Lmao.

fleet canopy
#

Like a PC

pallid cedar
#

the RAM isn't what made the power consumption spke, the string of 10+ gpus is

dusty pumice
#

PC gaming is dead so a pc aint the best investment at the moment either

fleet canopy
#

Kek

dusty pumice
#

only if you are looking to do graphical work or make content lmfao

pallid cedar
#

put 10 RTX 2080Ti's in a row and tell me the RAM is the powqer consumer 😛

thorny granite
#

“Pc gaming is dead”

fleet canopy
#

Isn’t a Vega 64 a power consumer?

pallid cedar
#

pc gaming isn't going anywhere

thorny granite
#

And this guy is in a Pc gaming discord about people waiting for GTFO.

pallid cedar
#

all gpus are power consumers haha

fleet canopy
#

Pc gaming just pc gaming

dusty pumice
#

PC gaming is pretty dead at the moment let me know any good releases in the last 2 years

#

that made a different for pc gaming

#

other than fortnite

#

and maybe apex

fleet canopy
#

Fork and knife

pallid cedar
#

LOL

thorny granite
#

Fortnite is not straight...

pallid cedar
#

immediately has to make exceptions XD

fleet canopy
#

Don’t use the word

dusty pumice
#

Well fortnite is a whole different beast since it made developers actually think about suicide since their work hours are so high

fleet canopy
#

Oh Jesus

pallid cedar
#

not having a good game in a cpl years also doesn't mean it's dead. I play on pc more than ever now

fleet canopy
#

I stopped playing as much as I used to sadly

dusty pumice
#

It feels dead for me only way i get entertainment out of pc gaming at the moment if i actually press my stream to online mode and get some interaction with the viewers

fleet canopy
#

But it should be back with the new games coming to release

pallid cedar
#

I just went back to good games, waiting for The Outer Worlds to come out in October, and whenever the hell GTFO comes out lol

thorny granite
#

Just because a good game (per your definition) hasn’t been released, doesn’t mean that good games aren’t under development, or haven’t been released.

#

They said 2019

fleet canopy
#

I just need to buy games

dusty pumice
#

instead of just dumping mindless hours into a game i dont enjoy anymore since i played it for the 10th time since theres nothing releasing at the moment thats good enough to give my attention too

fleet canopy
#

Then I’m set

dusty pumice
#

Seems pretty dead to me

thorny granite
#

But i’m thinking more 2020

pallid cedar
#

I play lots of Arma 3 still

dusty pumice
#

2020 - 2021 newest xbox and ps5 will release possibly

#

Arma 3 is good

pallid cedar
#

and put $3000 on a new pc

thorny granite
#

A lot of people I know play arma 3

fleet canopy
#

I play some csgo daily but not too much

dusty pumice
#

Arma 2 was better

pallid cedar
#

Arma 2 was terribly optimized

dusty pumice
#

I play alot of GTA 5 at the moment if i didnt have that i would play arma 3

pallid cedar
#

only thing I played on it was the dayz mod

dusty pumice
#

It was terribly optimized but the mods

#

oh the mods where so good

pallid cedar
#

where battle royale got it's start

dusty pumice
#

The old school hardcore feeling of losing all ur shit on the dayz servers you played like 10 - 20 - 30 hours to gain everything

pallid cedar
#

Arma is actually what got me into pc gaming

dusty pumice
#

Same

#

I think i have like 2000 or 3000 hours into arma 2 and possibly more with arma 3 combined

thorny granite
#

Well... @dusty pumice if Pc gaming sucks so bad go back to your console.

dusty pumice
#

NoPixel was born on arma 3

pallid cedar
#

I have no idea how many I have because I owned it for so long I used to use the Arma launcher, not steam XD

dusty pumice
#

and its now one of the bigger viewerships on twitch in GTA 5 roleplay

harsh terrace
#

Nothing's dead lol

fleet canopy
#

Something is

dusty pumice
#

@thorny granite im not an console player i have been playing pc since 2000

fleet canopy
#

Splinter Cells blacklist multiplayer

#

Dead asf

dusty pumice
#

I know when the era of pc gaming feels dead to me or alive

fleet canopy
#

Only saw one dude

dusty pumice
#

Im allowed to have an oppinion without being send to a corner of console gaming

#

if you cant handle freedom of speach maybe go live in iran

pallid cedar
#

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory needs to be remade in Unreal Engine with Ray Tracing lighting effects. UGH that would look so good

thorny granite
#

Well, your opinion isn’t exactly founded.

dusty pumice
#

Come with a counter then u havent?

fleet canopy
#

Hmm

dusty pumice
#

so how is it not founded

fleet canopy
#

Battlefield 3 remastered with ray tracing

pallid cedar
#

shhhh no fights

#

peace and gaming

harsh terrace
#

PC gaming is growing... And chill, no one attacked you lol

pallid cedar
#

PC TECHNOLOGY

fleet canopy
#

More realistic, classic maps and weapons, and the flashlight would look badass reflecting off things

dusty pumice
#

Pc technology is stil getting advanced updates

fleet canopy
#

We

dusty pumice
#

Just the games have been very slow in releases

fleet canopy
#

Yes

thorny granite
#

Steam currently has 47 million users and counting.

dusty pumice
#

and the games that release either in alpha or beta

#

Either have lack of player base so lose their developer support

pallid cedar
#

slow releases doesn't mean dead though, literally means the opposite as more time and care is being put back into games. Instead of shelling out mindless yearly titles

dusty pumice
#

Or they just flop for some other reason

fleet canopy
#

Yes

pallid cedar
#

COUGH call of duty, assassins creed COUGH

fleet canopy
#

Kek

#

The new call of duty isn’t bad

pallid cedar
#

we don't know that yet Harold, shhh 😛

#

though yeah, seems it is doing a better job this time around

harsh terrace
#

So far it's presentation isn't bad

fleet canopy
#

Every modern warfare games in one buy, realistic asf looking and multiplayer gotta be lit for it

thorny granite
#

The Activision community is currently dying, but Activision also let go of destiny so we don’t need them anymore.

fleet canopy
#

Ehehehehe

hexed horizon
#

then you died again

harsh terrace
#

Lol

fleet canopy
#

Destiny 2 is dying

dusty pumice
#

Lmfao activision

#

Hasnt destiny 2 been dying for a long time now tho

thorny granite
#

Nobody likes Activision.

harsh terrace
#

Bungie can save it tho

fleet canopy
#

Yes

#

Bungee can

#

Autocorrect oof

dusty pumice
#

I hope they do

harsh terrace
#

And they are... From what it looks like

fleet canopy
#

Eh

thorny granite
#

Destiny had troubles because Activision was too involved.

fleet canopy
#

I guess so

#

I feel like it won’t be as near good as destiny 1

#

Good with content maybe but

#

You know

dusty pumice
#

Feels like alot of these mobile games are sucking a bit of life from the pc gaming aswell

fleet canopy
#

Like the good part of destiny

dusty pumice
#

Alot of mobile games got announced last 2 years not that its a bad thing

fleet canopy
#

Mobile is dead to me

thorny granite
#

Sequels are never as good.

dusty pumice
#

but dont do it on events where alot of pc games get announced

fleet canopy
#

Mobile games are just awful

dusty pumice
#

I have not one installed on my mobile phone

fleet canopy
#

Some are alright

#

But they suck

harsh terrace
#

(doom eternal, I bet you feel stupid now lol)

dusty pumice
#

Idk why people even play those games i mean maybe in school or in the train / bus

#

but idk

harsh terrace
#

(jk we don't know yet)

dusty pumice
#

Never felt the need to get into mobile gaming

fleet canopy
#

Good

#

Because mobile gaming is alright

thorny granite
#

I play bloons...

#

But that was a pc flash game first.

fleet canopy
#

But there are loads and loads of the same crap that just is a bit different

dusty pumice
#

@fleet canopy is that not the same with battleroyales tho hahahaha

#

lmfao

thorny granite
#

And bloons is to kill time when i’m not at home.

fleet canopy
#

Lmao true

#

Still same crap to me though

dusty pumice
#

Yeah true

fleet canopy
#

Battle royals will forever be shit as fuck

dusty pumice
#

I dont know about that

thorny granite
#

Yea... they added a battle royale to FO 76

fleet canopy
#

Unless it’s managed to be alright

dusty pumice
#

something great could happen

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

dusty pumice
#

but i dont know if thats ever going to happen tbh

fleet canopy
#

It needs something good

#

Maybe like

dusty pumice
#

Apex was a bit interresting until it got over run by hackers and cheaters

#

now its pretty much forgotten

#

It stil has a semi decent loyal player base tho

fleet canopy
#

It’s bad

#

I don’t like how the game is in what it’s like

dusty pumice
#

im really interrested to see whats going to happen with fortnite

#

after 2019

#

What will happen when theres no more 100 million dollar tourneys

#

will they pump money into it again

#

or whats epic gonna pull this time

thorny granite
#

Fortnite is like roblox...

fleet canopy
#

No

thorny granite
#

It’s gonna live forever

#

Because 12 year olds love it

fleet canopy
#

Roblox is good

#

It lets players create what they want

#

Fork and knife isn’t

#

And it’s only one mode

dusty pumice
#

Its easy to fuck fortnite up with the weekly updates if they stil do those

fleet canopy
#

Roblox got a shit ton of game modes despite how it’s awful

dusty pumice
#

Yeah is roblox not like modded by the community aswell

#

I dont keep up with those games but i believe it is

thorny granite
#

Anything run by the community will always be better than something that’s not...

fleet canopy
#

Anything that allows community stuff will be good

#

Maybe

dusty pumice
#

Not always

thorny granite
#

That’s why most steam games are so successful

fleet canopy
#

Not like Tiny Tanks, that got deded fast

dusty pumice
#

But yeah most of the times its okay to above okay

#

Thomas the train engine was great

#

btw

thorny granite
#

Steam workshop keeps a lot of steam games alive

dusty pumice
#

Im just really scared whats gonna happen after 2020

#

with all the game services coming that are going to rent out

#

Like people used to rent movies

thorny granite
#

They’ll die...

dusty pumice
#

It can be either really good or really bad where you have 10 different choices to make

#

Same with the netflix dilemma where disney and all those other companys are pulling their content away and making their own platform you can rent that content rom

fleet canopy
#

Nowadays it’s a website giving free movies

dusty pumice
#

from *

thorny granite
#

It will be easier to sit in your home in your underwear on your Xbox and buy the game, download it right then, and play it.

fleet canopy
#

And be a fat fucker

dusty pumice
#

Idk if its gonna be bad people will just go back to cracking games like it was in 2000's and that was pretty bad for the gaming industry imo

thorny granite
#

Now if they did a Netflix for gaming where you subscribe and you can play any game you want for as long as you want just for a monthly cost, that would probably thrive.

fleet canopy
#

Mmh

#

Not a bad idea, not too good either

dusty pumice
#

Xbox is doing that no

#

15 euros a month for xbox and membership + pc games

thorny granite
#

But it’s all Xbox exclusives

dusty pumice
#

or 4 euros a month / dollars for the pc games

#

playstation is going to follow that i think

#

And u have square enix thats planning on it

#

and ubisoft

#

Ubisoft Subscription Service
Unlimited access to 100+ games on UPLAY +

#

Try it for Free Between September 3rd - 30th*

#

Seems like they already are on it lmfao

thorny granite
#

But again... those are all developer exclusives

#

If they do one that is every game ever...

pallid cedar
#

no they arent

#

I have game pass ultimate

#

got Metro Exodus

dusty pumice
#

Yup they arent only developer exclusives

#

on xbox its most games atleast

pallid cedar
#

getting Outer Worlds when it comes out day one

dusty pumice
#

U can get alot of 60 dollar games for a euro or a dollar a month at the moment

pallid cedar
#

on game pass

dusty pumice
#

I actually played metro there lmfao

#

I didnt want to support epic fail store

#

And im stil cashing in on my weekly free games from the epic fail store

fleet canopy
#

Ebic Gamma Stare is kinda ok

dusty pumice
#

so im supporting my self instead of them lmfao

pallid cedar
#

I don't mind there being another store like Epic, I dislike removing games from steam to have an exclusivity deal on Epic

fleet canopy
#

It sucks ass, but not too bad

dusty pumice
#

Its not horrible but im just not gonna buy there

#

Idc about installing my games on a different platform

pallid cedar
#

yeah I haven't paid for anything on it ewither

#

just free games

#

after buying my new pc I don't have the funds to get any new games lol

dusty pumice
#

I get most my keys for free at the moment

#

from keymailer

fleet canopy
#

Oof lol

pallid cedar
#

so getting free stuff and game pass for $1/month is great

#

lol

thorny granite
#

I have like...

dusty pumice
#

But i had a pretty big steam library already

thorny granite
#

500 games I own.

dusty pumice
#

Im on 400 ish now climbing slowly too 500

pallid cedar
#

I have maybe 20 games for steam, most before my old pc fried

#

I have 300+ on Xbox lol

thorny granite
#

I have humble monthly...

fleet canopy
#

89 games

thorny granite
#

So I get like.. 20 games a month,

late sorrel
#

oog

#

I still have like 40

thorny granite
#

I have so many I’ve never even downloaded

dusty pumice
#

Im only interrested in new game releases at the moment

pallid cedar
#

lol

dusty pumice
#

I did my catch up with all the good quality older games

pallid cedar
#

the only games I currently play on STeam are Arma 3, Space Engineers, 7 days to die, project zomboid, pc building simulator and Civ 5 lol

dusty pumice
#

What u do these days in arma 3 ?

pallid cedar
#

but I also got Anthem and The Division 2 for free with my GPU and CPU

dusty pumice
#

what kind of mods / or servers u play on?

pallid cedar
#

I play edited missions with friends, escape maps, Altis life

fleet canopy
#

I just play csgo uhh

#

And csgo

dusty pumice
#

Ahh okay

#

I played altis life back in the day

pallid cedar
#

it's gotten a bunch more updated

dusty pumice
#

But there was not that much out there at the start of arma 3

#

@fleet canopy aint u buying a 60hz monitor?

#

why if u only play csgo

fleet canopy
#

Well

dusty pumice
#

Yeah arma stil holds my love

fleet canopy
#

Csgo is boring as fuck

dusty pumice
#

I wish arma 4 would be announced and would be a mix between arma 2 and 3

fleet canopy
#

I still play it for casual and community

dusty pumice
#

that would be my wet dream game to be released

fleet canopy
#

Uhh

#

Alright

pallid cedar
#

Arma 3 has a new Alien DLC coming, called Contact

#

looks good

dusty pumice
#

Yeah i seen the last dlc

#

they brought out

#

wasnt that great tbh

#

for 25 euros

pallid cedar
#

I'll get it on sale

fleet canopy
#

Mmh

#

You should know the best arma 3 dlcs

#

Are the go karts

dusty pumice
#

Go karts is old as fuck tho i believe

#

It released somewhere around the release of arma 3

fleet canopy
#

It’s old as fuck yeah

dusty pumice
#

ye

fleet canopy
#

Still best dlc

#

Kek idk

dusty pumice
#

Only thing i really did on arma 3 was play on the no pixel server

#

and altis life

fleet canopy
#

I never really played any Arma games

#

And I don’t think I would ever play it well

dusty pumice
#

I dont think its your type of game

pallid cedar
#

depends on if you like realistic military simulators

dusty pumice
#

but idk harold could come out of some suprising corner and like it for a weird reason

pallid cedar
#

haha it happens

dusty pumice
#

I cant wait until GTA 6 comes out

fleet canopy
#

I like the realism

dusty pumice
#

But the only thing that sucks about that

#

it will be console game first

fleet canopy
#

But it’s actually not because of that

dusty pumice
#

then u gotta wait a year or 2 for it to come to pc

fleet canopy
#

It’s because I can’t hear people well

dusty pumice
#

Why cant you hear people well?

#

or if thats a personal thing just keep it to yourself

fleet canopy
#

I have a hearing disability Kek

dusty pumice
#

ahh
