@kindred forge the rx 5700 is about 13-18% faster then the 1660ti, you have to decide if it is worth spending more money on it, other choices would be a non super 2070
Well I got a budget so I want a good gpu that wont cost me a arm and a leg that would be good 4 streaming
Rn I'm using a rx 580 4gb
@kindred forge Then the Nvidia 2060 super or 2070 none super wins do the streaming codec they come with
Can I game and stream from them at the same time
just saying, AMD also comes with streaming support with
ok NVENC seems better than AMF or VCE
still, if you want to professional stream, you should do via CPU
@brisk badger yeah by far
and optimally a second streaming pc
@brisk badger he wanted budget oriented
Cant afford 2 build a second pc got 2 kids I wanna get a ryzen 5 2600
This is all gunna be out of taxes and my budget is between 500 and 600
I mean you have a rx 580 which can be okay for gaming already. for 500-600usd you could make a second streaming pc technically 😉
I have no clue about streaming nor would I ever do that. What would be interesting as well if a second gpu could do the streaming work. no idea if that works tho
price/perf wise I would chose the 5700 but no experience with streaming mode. I use relive for AMD and it does what I want but no live broadcasting
yea there is settings, i just don't know how bad it looks compared to nvidias counterplay
then on the other hand, you need to register on nvidia to use it's service
no go for me
Alot of streamers use slobs
i guess there is cpu encoding at work
There is alot of settings u can edit in slobs
Anybody here know a cheap case that supports a 360mm Radiator? ATX mainboard
Uh I believe the case I have supports a front mounted 360 rad, I got it for 50 bucks off Newegg
Out of stock at the moment though, its the Cougar Turret Mesh
Cameras makes RGB god damn blinding
Unless you have one of those cameras with all the settings, you could make it not too bad
Could someone explain CPU culling workload to me? The simplest answer I found online was that it adjusts the amount of work that GPU and CPU do, but I was interested in a more in-depth explanation maybe
High CPU culling makes the occlusion culling calculations on the CPU instead of the GPU, low does the inverse, using the GPU more for culling calculations
I suppose medium uses a mix of the two.
So if I have an older CPU but a beast GPU and haven't fixed my bottleneck yet
I can put in on small for maybe a happier CPU
Yup!
Thanks
erlite, you know by any chance if that culling calculation uses it's own thread?
Nope, don't know, but likely not knowing Unity
Given that you have passable to decent hardware on both cpu and gpu ends, does it make much of a difference?
Does one tend to perform better than the other on occlusion culling calculations
That's a good question I doubt I can answer, but I'd just play with the setting and check FPS and CPU/GPU usage
Sounds good
As for the multithreading question, Unity doesn't allow you to do Unity stuff outside its main thread, so I doubt the culling is checked outside
as exposed seems to correct a little the bottlenecking between GPU and CPU
In my case I know my CPU even overclocked is about a 30% bottleneck so I'm sure small will be better, but I'll try med out and see how it does
if u have a Laptop GPU for example and a good 6 core processor, u can favor the cpu usage in order to free GPU usage
Thanks for your knowledge Erlite
You're welcome!
With a good 6 core processor I'd suggest setting CPU Culling to High/Extreme
what if a quad core ?
Depends on the CPU tbh
the I5 7600K for example
I haven't checked GTFO's multicore performance but my 3700X with 8c has no issue at extreme cpu culling
and it does lower the strain on my GPU
that would likely handle high without issue
👌
Is this game support ultrawide?
can confirm it does indeed
109775240984391782 +1 GO GAME
if i wanna build a pc from fresh or just order one just asking lets say in USD does anyone how a rough gauge as to how much i would need to save
if required -i live in singapore
In USD for prebuilt or are you going to build it?
i was told to do a prebuild as it could be build to play what i would like
if it's a full tower don't be shy on pricing unless you're really tight on a budget, for a mid-spec prebuilt you'll be looking probably $1200-1600 range
Prebuilt are basically the company builds it for you
Mid spec for 1200$ is insane
You can easily do 700$
but i was also told since i do not know how to build one that i should just order one----
but the guy that told me to make my own pc said that it could be overprice and i might not use it to its full potential
Laptops aren’t what he was going for though
you could build your own "mid tier" for $700-$900
imagine wasting money on a gaming laptop
Unless you traveled a lot
yeah
i would prefer to use a laptop for school work rather then gaming
Well you can still get it 700$ or lower if sales are lucky in your favor
you won't be getting a very good one in that price bracket though
as far as building your own goes
Saying a 580 with 2600 isn’t good anymore?
it's decent
580 is like around 150$ if I remember
A member here said his 580 with 2600 did GTFO at 60FPS+ on GTFO
And GTFO was poorly optimized for most cases
on what settings though?
what should i look for intel or amd?
as of recent i personally prefer amd 100%
AMD is cheaper and their new 3000 series are great as of now
a 3600(x) would be great
If you don’t wish to overclock ofc
a noob question here an amd motherboard cant an intel chip right?
no
My recommendations would be to get a 3600 and a 1660 for 1080p gaming
completely different sockets
and yes a 3600 is a solid option for gaming, if you do workstation, video editing or anything i'd look into a 3700x
Not only that, if your AMD cpu chipset is AM4, buy an AM4 motherboard
There isn’t only 2 different kinds of chipsets, there is a lot of them, so if you’re not using a website like www.pcpartpicker.com be careful what you pick
yes, and when he says a lot he means dozens, you really gotta do your research if you are building your own
thanks for the site i shall use that
other than that i really enjoy pc building personally, you'll find it's fun to get yourself upgrades or accessories/peripherals down the line. It's almost addictive really
No problem, it’s a pretty good site to use if you don’t know too much about tech. When you have put a list together, please send us the link to the list and we’ll help you improve it for your pricing and for performance
yeah take pcpartpicker with a grain of salt they don't have the info on every part in some cases
PCPP is pretty great imo, you won’t have to worry too much, but the pricing and of course, the info they put in are sometimes not there or are wrong
yee
Like the part could be listed as 300$, but you can probably find it for what is actually priced higher or lucky, lower
For instance Amazon and Newegg, both having PC parts will both have different pricing for what you find
thanks @strong whale and @fleet canopy
No problem
Anytime, I only got here like 40 minutes ago but i'll probably be pretty active in this channel
very nice
3700X isn’t too crazy for a 2070 Super, right?
3900X with 1060 is pretty fucking crazy imo lol
Like pairing a 2080 ti with an i3
Well logically if you were to put a pc together sure
But if you say just upgraded to a 3900x, maybe you need the 12 cores for rendering and other stuff than just gaming you know, but you already had a 1060
Yeah but it’d be really unnecessary getting a 3900X with 1060 imo
a 3700x and 2070 super is actually the perfect combo
Anyway the point is, your game is usually only gonna perform as well as the video card in most cases. Being overkill on the CPU just means it won't be a bottleneck
as long as you don't have a crappy 2.8ghz quad core processor with a 2080 ti then you will never be bottlenecking your gpu
Quad core 5GHz does bottleneck 2080 Ti even then with that clock speed
i used to have a i7 930 paired with a gtx 960 a couple years back, upgraded to a ryzen 1700 (which i still have now), the difference in overall performance was amazing
idk any quad core processors that can hit 5ghz lmao
7700K
Golden 2500ks could do 5ghz
Faye has done it I believe
game performance is heavily single core performance reliant though
But yeah probably any Kabylake could
i'm talking realistic situations here though, not like kingpin overclocking
don't upgrade anytime soon
Big Navi cards coming 2020, Ryzen Zen 3, Nvidia Ampere
unless you plan on buyer's remorse
He already got a 2070S I believe
I already got myself 2070 Super on Black Friday week
that's fine
I just need CPU upgrade and RAM
which Aib card did you get?
Gigabyte, I know you people call it trash but it’s better than 1060
eghh i hate gigabyte, i say this as someone who has a gigabyte board and card lmaoo
Eh I think they're just hit or miss
they're cheap for a reason, the card isn't a big deal other than the cooling
I heard their 5700s are good though
Yeah the Gaming Oc is one of the best options
the FE cards were getting to 105 degrees celsius
My 1060 3GB is Gigabyte, has done me long enough and it’s still going strong to this day, just not performing to my needs probably because I got a 1440p monitor
Well oven with the blower sure 
haha yeah
But that's the uh
Also apparently any Sapphire card has great cooling
blower style in 2019 imagine
I'm sure its cooler than the junction on Vega
Anyone know of a way to disable the film grain in the game via config?
Also yeah sapphire was one of the first Aibs that came out for 5700(xt)
my setup 🙂
I was going to get an EVGA 2070 Super but it was like a more cheaper than getting an EVGA
film grain and chromatic aberration gives me a crazy headache so i normally just disable
Um
but no option for that 😦
Chromatic Abberation can be disabled
I don't recall if that's the case with the grain
if i get a 2070 super or any other card i'd rather get a rog strix, expensive but they are binned chips + have rediculously good cooling
Film grain can be disabled
from what i remember seeing the rog strix 2070 super doesn't see higher than 70c in most games
I don't see settings for either ingame, so I assumed it'd be a config .ini tweak as it often is
also isn't that #gtfo-technical-support?
If I knew what my temps were, then I’d have understood but
I don’t have any programs whatsoever that calculates temperature and % usage
Riva Tuner with MSI afterburner gives you an overlay for that stuff
I have 7700K as I’ve said Kek
I’ll see about getting MSI afterburner, I’ve used it before
it works with any card
you can also set your own fan curves
because i have a gigabyte 2060 i set an aggressive fan curve and haven't seen overheating issues since
Not too sure what fan curve even is
Ah ok
for me if it ever reaches 80c i set it to spin 90%
I’ll see about it when I come back home on the weekend lol
Also I’m pretty sure 2070 Super doesn’t even go 36FPS on Quake 2 with RTX on lol
seriously
It did for me, but it’s literally doing 36FPS and there’s absolutely no fucking way it does that haha
Also weird wording I know
the 2080ti hits around 70-80fps with Vulkan on Quake RTX
Vulkan? 
Mmk
TBH usually performs better
Never saw the vulkan option, it’s only for 2080/Ti?
No there's no limit to a specific range of graphics cards
I wouldn't know how to enable it on that demo though
so i watched a few benchmarks and although it isn't locked, the 2070 super still hits high 50's to low 60's framerates on quake rtx (Vulkan of course)
also the benchmarks will be consistent because it is a almost 100% gpu bound game with rtx on
goodnight
is the game currently open to public?
Awsome, goodluck!

oh thats it?
yes
Anyone else have a RX 5700 that only use up 50-60% of the gpu at any given time? I'm not hitting near 100% utilization
Don't think i'm CPU bound with a R5 2600
Are your games running smoothly?
Smooth for the most part except for when there's a lot of enemies on the screeen
frame rate dips but GPU utilization stays the same
might sound like a dumb question but. what's your memory utilization
lol that's not a dumb question at all
talking about VRAM or RAM?
I got 16GB of RAM
3200 speed
Oh you're fine then. I can't really comment on Vram right now. I'm still debating if Microsoft had diddled with it again in the latest update.
coz I notice my pagefile usage going crazy like somethings about to crash but then it doesn't so I figure okay maybe it's just a dump but I cant find anything so
Oof
my game runs instable are there any steps to make it more stable

Are you drivers up to date?
Hey all i asked in a few different channels nobody was sure does this game support hdr
we all are not sure
yes
Why does the gameplay looks kinda blurry
No taa or smaa planned? 😭
Fxaa is kinda :/
how do i generate an invite link to my game
why does everyone ask questions about the game in a pc building and tech talk channel is the real question
Hah yeah
Yeaa 😅
What is the most potato set up you can play the game on lol
I need answers 😆
The game actually works on Integrated graphics?!
probably
Need to dust off thr old laptop lol
maybe at like 5 fps lowest settings
So, what would make an electric like noise once in a rare while in your computer?
Maybe your fan
I kinda thought about that, but I know it's not case fans. Dunno if gpu fans or battery fan would make such a noise. It's like pretty static the sound.
If you could imagine a tesla coil on a very small level that only activates for a second. That's what I would describe the noise.
Is there a way to disable mouse acceleration on the menu?
Game looks great on triple. Core i7 3829, 1070 x2, 16 GB, PCpower 950
@frank pasture you using Eyefinity?
oh wait you can’t
I’ll have to try that Tomorrow
Lol
@late sorrel runs great on low settings,
My system has held up great through the whole experience, the only issues right now are lag from server hosts
Man is that a game killer too 😦
I have i5 2500k OC @ 4ghz
H60 Corsair liquid cooler
16GB ram
Nvidia 970 Gigabyte extreme gamer edition
All settings on max
Turned off vsync
Turned off Ambiant Occlusion or SOA or what ever it's called
I get aroun 80 - 90 FPS
Resolution is 1080p
60hz
I will keep v-sync on.
@copper zealot are you playing with players from your region? Also make sure the person with the highest up speed is hosting, down isn't too big of a requirement for hosting.
@thick lotus you forgot the most important setting; what resolution you running?
Can you read? lol.....
1080p meaning 2560x1080? 1920x1080? 1080x1080? :p
:V
That's really nice then! Would you say it rund better now vs Alpha?
It runs way better now.
New PC built. 3700X, 32GB of ram, reused GTX 1070.
I’m thermal throttling at full load. Bad CPU mount. Gonna have to change the thermal paste, but for now I dont get over 40C at idle so its usable. Come Saturday I’ll go buy some better compound. lol
Mhhhh
@frank pasture what graphics settings used?
Y'all are rich
@fickle shuttle Lowest , 5760x1080
Remember, cross tighten until fit.
Cross tighten two screws? 🙃
If my mount, that has press on it to shift it around, sits still because I just turn those bolts like they're some Ikea screw on a shifty table, then underpressing it shant be a problem.
Corsair uses AMD’s ass mounting solution
Two screws for the cooling?
Yea
Yeah, cross tighten still applies, though, I guess.
That seems awfully weird of a solution.
IKR
But if you're sure it's mounting pressure, it should just be to tighten further, right?
Its not going anywhere. Tightened it to the point where it wont budge
The issue is I have air pockets in the thermal paste (Thanks Corsair).
So I gotta reapply some more when I get some
And clean the current crap off
How do you know if you have air pockets in the paste after applying?
Hella spikes in temps
Warmspots leading to inflated temperatures.
Ooh ic
What would be a bad idle temp?
Ooft
Depends on the setup. Is that a 140 AIO?
240mm
87 on load UFF, this is rly fucking hot xD
I use air cooling on mine , old schoole i know 😂
Idle is about 39-40C stock settings rn
I dont oc tho so I guess its not too bad lol
Not touching voltages and clock speeds till I can reapply the cooler
Aircooling works, to a point, obviously.
Air cooling is still great
It's not too bad.
I think I get around 65 on load, its cool xD
I've said it before, but yeah, I get around 60-70 on load too.
Should try oc maybe not sure
You cant really beat a bigass Noctua cooler unless you go custom loop
Well, maximum load, for me.
Noctua is brown tho 😂
You can if you get a positive temperature coefficient due to size.
On load @prime95 or on load @games or other applications?
Noctua has the chromax now
Yeet
😆
The brown on the Noctua's are rubber inserts you can remove, from the normal fans.
If I remember correctly.
Can i repaint the fins tho lol
Not without performance loss.
I personally dont own a notctua one lol
Weight, and aerodynamic.
But seemed interesting when I was looking at coolers
But you should be able to paint the outer frame without any impedance.
Just buy the chromax fans if you want black noctua fans lol
Got a cryorig one its okay
My custom loop, though too overkill for this discussion, helps my 7940X run at 4.8GHz base.
Noice noice
Sounds hot 😍
I havent delved into custom loops yet
It runs at 30C.
Can it push 5ghz xD
Probably, wouldn't surprise me.
But I'd get diminished returns, heat wise, overclocking 14/28 like that.
Im planning on buying Threadripper next (just built a PC and already planning for the next LUL), and I’m thinking of doing a custom loop for that
Wheres a good place to check how high I can oc my cpu?
I havent played around with ocing yet
Really its trial and error tbh
Kind of. It depends on a lot of factors.
So lottery time? 😊
The silicon lottery isnt friendly
The case, heat dissipation, the CPU, and the cooling solution, mainly.
My 9900k runs on 5.3ghz with custom loop. Direct Die. No IHS. Have two 560mm radiators, in my the tower 900 case.
Lottery is secondary, mainly about stability.
All that for a 9900k? @knotty spruce
For 9900k and the 2080ti with a biosmod
Eh. I cant see how a 9900k warrants a custom loop but its cool I guess.
It's the best gaming CPU.
Thats about all it is
You do get a lot out of your temps for custom loop.
Thats true
But, Sakura, regarding overclocking, if you have an average setup, silicon lottery hardly matters, as you'd hit temperature throttles way earlier.
Ooh ok
Intel lost me a while back. Still kinda salty over how easy MDS attacks are.
I beg to differ when it comes to the silicon lottery.
You can, but you're wrong.
If you have a better cooling solution, regarding the whole computer, than an average setup, then you would be more correct.
Lets take 9900Ks for example.
How many can really hit 5.0Ghz all cores with an average cooling solution?
Maybe with custom loops its not a factor, but for the average user, it does.
But thermal accumilation will happens swiftly as the computer case can't displace the heat, and the dissipation from the CPU isn't enough.
For custom loops, silicon is all that matters.
It determines the upper limit of the CPU.
And thats why it comes back to the silicon lottery.
You just said it yourself.
Setting aside factors such has heat dissipation and case airflow, silicon quality determines the upper limit of a CPU.
Take in mind that you can not use neither mine, nor your build as an example of average.
2 in front, one in back, half assed CPU heatsink with a small fan.
It'll throttle almost by just being used intensely.
Any CPU without proper airflow isnt going to perform well in those conditions. I dont see your point.
Yet you already explained my point yourself lol
I believe we’re talking past each other
Your point is that silicon determines the upper limit of a CPU that isn't limited, as I agree.
When it comes to an average build, thermal throttling would be much more of a factor for overclocking.
As such why I specify average build.
Without the specification, that I so started with, we would be talking past each other, hence the specification.
And I agree, yet it feels like you’re negating a factor by assuming that the conditions will be poor.
It still is a factor. Regardless of conditions.
So the average build doesn't have poor cooling solutions?
Even assuming a case in itself doesn't inflate the temperatures, which is very much can.
Considering that there is such a broad range of chips with varying performance, its kind of hard to pinpoint “poor conditions” unless we specify the minimum specs/requirements for the CPU.
A Pentium can survive almost any condition because of its core count and tdp.
Good. And now, contemporary CPU's, then. How about those, base cooler obviously.
Do I need to specify, or do we look at per example steam stats, or do try and find the temperature average of a home computer users computer?
For overclocking such as an average PC, you look at the fundamentals first.
You’re constraining the overclocking abilities now by using the stock cooler. Which, unless I’m wrong, most sane people when building a decent PC tend to purchase aftermarket coolers.
I wasn't, actually, but that was the example in the situation.
Earlier I stated a "average PC"
I dont see stock coolers being sold with any intel ‘K’ processors
Two in the front, one in the back, half-shoddy CPU heatsink.
Prebuilt?
Or just a POS PC
Because, if we must go with your scenario, you’re right.
On the flip side, in an actual coherent and properly cooled system, you’re wrong.
Yeah, that's what this discussion started with me stating, yes.
I'm glad you understand.
Glad we’re on the same page now.
The end result though wasnt the original discussion lol
Lol
You just assume too high of an average PC.
Then define average for me.
The one's who actually invest themselves into computer parts are a small portion of those who buy PC's.
Sure. So, are the systems you’re referring to prebuilt?
I am referring to all systems, disregarding office computers or the like.
All systems, so that includes office computers, laptops, HTPCs, prebuilt “gaming” PC, etc.
Literal office computers.
I see a very small portion of those that can actually overclock processors.
As they are not home computers, as I so said earlier.
Office computers generally have motherboard constraints and/or locked processors, so the entire idea of “overclocking the average PC” based on that example isn’t even possible.
The argument falls there unless you have another example.
Are you going to be silly then?
I specified that I did not include computers that are placed in an office, as I specified home computers. If we so would disregard computers that are unable to be overclocked, even if the case that they were able to be, one of the most common problems for people with computers is thermal accumulation. An inability for the computer as a whole system to displace the heat it is producing properly, leading to high temperatures.
The basis of what I said, to begin with, was that silicon lottery would in fact not be of the most matter to an average PC, as you so stated, this assuming that an average PC could so be defined as I also stated earlier. You stated the contrary, because you though that the average PC has a good enough cooling solution to suffice against thermal throttling.
It does not matter, in terms of what the system is, or any other specification, because of the myriad of variations of PC's available, and only really serves as to avoid the main point, or are attempts to dilute the argument.
Do you wish to disagree, then sure, we can specify, and specify, and then, when we're down the the >1% of home computers that belong to enthusiasts, you would be correct, they probably might be more affected by the silicone, but that wasn't what I was stating to begin with, and I even earlier agreed with you on that, but any practical purpose of stating it as a norm, or fact, is null, as it isn't true.
Now that I can finally read without trying to read between the lines, I agree with your point. In the “average” computer with “average” cooling, thermal constraints will be more of an issue. I apologize for immediately thinking of that >1% which I’ve been accustomed to.
I'm not trying to be diffuse but I can come out like that sometimes.
Thats fair.
🍿
I’m glad this has been entertaining
Yus 😊
Two nerds getting worked up over bullshit lmfao
An discussion, with merit, or just argumentation, is always amusing.
Im still trying to work out what graphics settings I should play this game on lol
The highest settings you can with a decent framerate. This isnt a competitive game, so 60fps is fine.
I think I do 70-80 but its a bit inconsistent lol
Whats your monitor’s refresh rate?
Well according to ingame fps counter
165hz 2560x1440p
Gtx 1080, i7 8700k (no oc yet), 16 gb ddr4 ram
Yeah, aim for 120 then.
Hence wondering about the oc lol
8700K
The game looks pretty good on medium settings tbh. I tried them all out.
What cooling solution do you have Sakura? You said a Cryorig?
But that's with the rest also accounted for.
Yea
An H7 should be able to hold it at 4.4. Maybe 4.5
8700K in general handles 4.3~ without larger issues.
^
Yeah h7
Oh yea you’re good
Does intel turbo not already boost it? Not really sure
Oh it ads onto it?
Yeah, pretty much.
Interesting
Id start with increments however. Start with 4.3 and work your way up.
Boost clock speeds generally are single core
Intel Boost boost the most active cores, but not all cores at once, and especially not for long durations
Yea
I ran into the issue when I ran DOSBox when it tried to use 100% of my CPU
Damn
14/28, base 4.8GHz, with boost function enabled.
It shot up and steady stated at around 64 degrees.
But it turned my entire room up several degrees.
64C isnt bad though
Radiators heat up rooms faster because of the dissipated heat compared to a tower cooler’s concentrated heat.
Well, heat is heat.
Ye my pc feels like a space heater lol
Yikes
Good in winter 😂
Computer used to heat up my room, but now it doesn't as much anymore.
My PC literally is a heater rn with that bad mount lmao
heh
Fumes?
Yeah
Fumes from what.
What fumes
Like, a burnt capacitor.
Particulates lol
Nah
There's really only dust, the parts themselves don't degrade to the point of releasing particles.
And if they do, it's often self-contained.
You’re likely to die from something else first before anything in your PC decides to yeet toxic fumes
Don't take close sniffs of burnt electronics, though, if you can avoid it.
Mmm the smell of lithium burning
That's the only fumes that'd be toxic.
Magnetic radiance, whilst not strong enough to cause issues due to isolation, is probably also somehow possible.
Don't mount the motherboard, openly, literally next to your head.
No.
Good to know :)
touching a wi-fi cable does though, be very careful during installation..
Please do not touch wi-fi cables.
Why?
They could cause incontrollable pidgeonism.
Why shouldn't I touch the wifi cable lol
you touch it, you blow it
also, what's a "wifi cable", i hope you mean lan cable, lol
you can touch it all you want, nothing happens, trust me, lol
exept the cable is broken 🤷♂️
No. Those are different.
The wifi cable is the one that gets you your wireless signal. Its very, very tiny so that is why its called wireless.
Because you can't see it.
Uwu
Is my pc enough for GTFO?
what kind of PC do you have?
scrolls up, sees "wi-fi cables".. busts a gut Okay that was genuinely funny 10/10
@echo sluice We did answer you before.
It's still good.. I just.. take a long time to load that's all.
When the caps light is on. caps is off. but when the light is off the caps is on
anyone know how to fix. I unplugged my Keyboard and plugged it back in :/
Doesn't matter... It fixed itself...
keyboards also celebrate "opposite day"? If so, tell your keyboard that date is on January 25th
did you make sure shift isn't stuck lol
i bet it was the shift key
Sticky keys are a menace
@spiral patio What site is that?
@spiral patio long loading times are mainly caused by bad / old SATA interface drivers or no SSD installed
It's not. It's AMD's Radeon settings. And yeah. That too. I was just musing that I've got a fairly powerful GPU and a potato CPU. it slows things down a bit
hm... im still running an i7 2nd Gen - so i will definatly be able to play CP2077 on it for sure - but on the other side yours is not an K Model so its kinda OKAY to replace it with the i7 3rd Gen its absolutly worth
i5 and i7 differences u know ?
Yeah. Eventually I'll get around to upgrading. but honestly at this point in the lifecycle I'd probably be better off getting a new Mobo that can support the shinier stuff that's coming along.
i got my i7 2nd Gen for cheap - less than 30 € second hand
Game still runs fine though.
and if its for less than 30 bucks ?
it wont be trust me
I mean if I can get it for pocket money sure I'll give it a shot, or reclaim it from someone else replacing their system. but yeah I'm not gonna go out of my way getting a new CPU for this system
honestly I'm really pleased with this build. It's lasted a hell of a long time.
thats for sure but on Pocket Money there is no pain to do so
my system here runs now since 10 Yrs
and yeah it reaches a limit slowly but its still superb fine
even StarCitizen is working on a decent performance
there was no i7 in 2009
oh noo? sure ? well then its 9 yrs and a half
Nnng. emotional crit. I want to love star citizen. Specifically squadron42 because I grew up on wing commander. but I've been unimpressed with Chris Roberts' management of the project and it's really souring it all for me.
and to be honest i started my system with the i5 2nd Gen
and the 30 Bucks deal was last year i never mentioned i bought it that cheap 10 yrs ago
well the last couple updates they had - improved a lot in SC - i had not the chance to check it out recently due lack of time but im ecxited to be able to find time in January
I quickly want to highlight why your recommendation going from a 2nd gen Intel CPU to a 3rd gen Intel CPU is bad:
- The IPC (Instructions per Cicle) is minimally faster
- Tons of heat problems with the 3rd Gen
- Most important: The chipset has to be replaced as well which means you need to buy a new mobo. Not worth at all
Additionally
- Yes an i7 can be faster than i5 but it depends a lot on the application you are using. Hyperthreading is nice but not for all apps suited. The larger L2 / L3 cache is nice but usually doesn't give a big jump in performance
2011 they have been released
I have some old Core 2 Quad running as server to this day
What is current gen?
every day since 2008
Like 10th now?
It's 10th 'gen' but the IPC hasn't changed at all since 6th gen. It's all skylake with additional polish on top
^
finally with competition this won't happen again
reselling products under new names 😛
Ryzen 3rd gen is amazing
I wish I can switch. But i'll wait
people complain about the clocks but literally that's what happens when your node is shrunken lol
plus more threads also doesn't make it easy to achieve higher frequencies
but seriously, frequencies tell nothing
yep
they did for some time cause of Intel and no changes
15% ipc increase alone makes a huge difference
- better use of the infinity fabric to support higher frequency ram
Even tho we have going to have amazing hardware, I am still very pessimistic about software
IPC > GHz IMO.
in regards of using more threads
that alone is the only reason i haven't gotten a 5700xt
Also, Ryzen 3000 supports crazy fast RAM, but you'll have to de-couple the IF
their drivers are questionable and nvidia has more support + software
Considering what I've experienced and what I've seen Nvidia owners complain about, it's just about equal, really.
the driver itself is a piece of garbage that got recently better
at least you don't need to sign up on AMD to get all features
Though, apparently the image with AMD is 'sharper' or 'crisper' or something? I've heard many talk about it, but I haven't seen A/B comparisons.
i heard you have to have an account for shadowplay lol
well nvidia has all around better developer support since most game devs optimize their games around nvidia gpu's, but yes sometimes nvidia drivers cause a lot of issues
i use shadowplay constantly
They optimize for nvidia because nvidia has enough money to send out engineers to help because stupid people keep buying nvidia every time they increase their price for the same tier of HW...
Nvidia had some of the worst drivers during the vista era, part of the reason that vista would crash was because of their drivers
if game devs would do a proper job, we wouldn't need constant driver updates :p
erm
I don't think blaming game-devs is fair; blame the publisher that doesn't want to pay for enough people to do the work in the time they demand. No dev wants to ship a broken product, but if it's between that, and no job, well...
yeah..drivers are to help game engines and other software better utilize the hardware at hand, the game devs are only responsible for optimizing their game to be less of a resource hog
It also doesn't help that Nvidia tries to bully the market with their proprietary nonsense. Real talk the reason why there's those nvidia splash pages is so that people can play with the features like hair works or that hilarious tessalation fiasco during crysis 2 that absolutely /tanked/ your framerate if you weren't using nvidia.
it's maybe harsh words but it's true for some titles if big or small
and devs in general can be happy releasing a product with it's minimal requirements goal.
not a software engineer myself but i often work closely with them
okay but optimization can take a shitload of time, devs aren't robots and it's not their fault a lot of people have crap potato's
as long as it isn't running worse than it should be it's usually fine
then you can't lie about system requirements
a dev sees the requirements as:
what is needed to start the open (open the .exe)
a customer sees the requirements as:
what do I need to achieve 30fps
it's a problem that hopefully will be solved one day. it's very scammy to use the requirements needed to open a game
and not what it actually needs to run at acceptable framerate (if 30 is acceptable even)
like i said though in a lot of cases system requirements are kind of a meme
never rely on them
very generalized as well. like GTFO shows proper requirements for example (what is needed to enjoy the game)
minimum doesn't always mean min settings, it means what can run the game without crashing
recommended is a different ball game
well you have to in some sort. I never was in the sitation of having a garbage computer but if I have to, then system requirements are kinda all you have as security
that's what I mean voxel. I hope steam changes that at least
i had a complete craptop for a long time to game on, never once did i look to system requirements, i looked for benchmarks
features like hair works or that hilarious tessalation fiasco during crysis 2 that absolutely /tanked/ your framerate if you weren't using nvidia.
Correction, it always tanks performance, it's just that it might be 50% slower on Nvidia HW, and 80% slower on AMD. Yes, nvidia has intentionally made effects a lot slower than needed, hurting their own performance because it hurts AMD's performance more... Good news though, in AMD's driver, you can over-ride the max tessellation value, so you get 99% of the looks at 10% the performance in many cases. Last I checked, that's not an option for nvidia's drivers.
omg i heard about that recently coming up again
nvidia holding back amd benchmarks and performance, and in the end it was considered "legal"
@brisk badger Important to mention that minimums does not spesify a resolution. Minimum means minimum. Not 1920x1080 medium. Try 1024x768 very low. Most people aren't willing to go that low.
this is what i was saying
recommended is what you need to have a decent running game
But yeah, that's basically my point. Every time I see an Nvidia logo branded onto a game, my first thought it "oh boy how have they tried to fuck me over as an end user this time"
They all cheat, and have cheated in the past. However, Nvidia and intel has cheated a lot more. None is free of sin, but 10 murders doesn't equal 1000 murders either.
oh yeah intel has made themselves look super pathetic recently while they have been getting pounded by AMD
yup. I have there will be some standard rules about system requirements one day
We Are AcTuallY gOing To ReALeAse 3nm
good catch with resolution
I don't think they said that, but they have been saying some stupid stuff
Tsmc is legit on path to finish 3nm by 2022 I think
And 5nm is apparently yielding better than 7nm starting out
really?
That's what I heard
i thought 7nm was around 50% yield or something
Probably is right now
I mean relative to when they started developing 7nm when yields were worse
5nm is yielding better
Do note; the different company's 'nm' aren't equal. From what I gather, TSMC's 16nm was more or less equal Intel's 22nm, and their 7nm is better than intel 14nm, but not two generations better.
nm is mostly a 'marketing term', sadly.
Yeah it's approximations at best
yeah ik, but like all things companies round off numbers and other things to make them more appealing
7 is closer to 10 whilst also being a more appealing number 
i can't remember what some of the real measurements were
amd i think is a little guilty of this too
No, it's not really a good approximation either; it's more like how other products use 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx etc to denote different generations. Except with semiconductors, less is better! :D

Yo, there are 49 dogs signed up to compete in the dog show. There are 36 more small dogs than large dogs signed up to compete. How many small dogs are signed up to compete?
that would require a half dog somewhere right? x+(x+36)=49 which makes x = to 6.5
Is there controller support for this game?
?t roadmap
You can view the roadmap here: https://gtfothegame.com/roadmap/
If it isn’t in the roadmap, do it it’s as a suggestion
What the fug is that math, Pixeled.
(x+36)=49
(x+36)-36=(49)-36
x=49-36
x=13
Hm
Or wait, it's the formula, that I get choked up on. As the term more dogs is used.
x+(x+36)=49
Because I was blind and didn't see the first x.
Apparently then it's acceptable to enter half a dog into a dog show.
tbf Chihuahuas are half dog half satan
maybe one is pregnant
@soft zodiac try to create a set up with the steam controller support
@sick reef can you solve (8)^(1/3)?
Was a long time since I did this math.
Solving for it is something like third root.
Yeah, wolfram alpha agrees. Third root of 8.
Solving for it I can't remember fully though. It's a lot of moving about.
Mhm
Wow lol its actually 2
Okay, looking into it, I technically don't need to do more to solve it with a solution, but the proving of that it is a third root derives back to logarithms.
logₐ(N)=x -> N=aˣ
I don't fully remember though, in turning logarithms into square roots.
As said, it was a long time since I did this math.
As well as in math, solving for something, and finding the solution of, are generally two different things.
At least when I did math
But yeah, droni, you're welcome to look up what the third root of 8 is.
Good news and bad news
Good news
I don't have a bad mount on my 3700X
Bad news
Ryzen is a fucking heater and peaks at 85C
There's hardly anything that's going to cause a full load on my PC, but thankfully I'm not hitting TJ Maxx
So yea
We're in business bois
Isn't the performance of a ryzen 3 series highly dependant on low temperatures?
Yes
It's honestly depressing
What?
but it is what it is
What's your cooling
Noctua nh u12 a
That's fair. But seriously, use AIDA64 and stress test your processor
That's no where near a full 100% load on your CPU
What is ur vga?
I would play Exodus but that requires Epic Launcher
I believe exodus is coming to steam soon
Not sure tho
I played Exodus for 1 euro on windows xbox app lmfao
Same
@abstract kite if the CPU was colder under full load, that could mean there was more performance available with more speed. How's your CPU performing compared to other 3700x's?
@radiant garnet In what regard? As in CPUBenchmark? I havent tested that yet... Doing so now. I hit boost clock just fine when I’m not on full load. Full load I get around 4Ghz because all cores are being utilized at that point.
Then it sounds like it's working as it should..?
Ive undervolted it too
Thats helped knock 1-2C off along with better thermal compound
Ryzen is kinda finicky lol
70 need 2 more man
@cedar kiln this is no looking for group chat
sorry
Wow. My entire PC didnt do so well on this benchmark. Ram is running slower speeds, havent enabled XMP yet. My 1070 is, well, old and not running that great. Somehow my SSD is slower than average?
My 3700X tho is apparently one of the faster ones.
Ironic
Great succes
Might have to download a newer version of EVGA Precision
Or my thermal paste could be going bad on my 1070. Ive run it hard for 4 years
As far as the SSD goes I have no idea why thats “underperforming”
Same goes for the HDD
Theyre not overheating
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Usually that's temp just being high
Bear go to bed lamo
@abstract kite most SSDs perform better the more empty they are. Is you SSD partially full?
Asuming TRIM oes not exist on your OS
No, even with trim; less free space means smaller SLC cache, hence lower performance. Even good SSDs will perform better with, say, 25% of the capacity unformated to help performance. Less these days with newer SSDs, but still.
as long as those storage drives dont click like a Compaq Deskpro from the 90's yer gucci
@radiant garnet I’ve used a majority of the space lol. Probably have about 120gb available.
@abstract kite Then that might be why your drive is performing 'below average'. I imagine people submitting results do that after getting a part, and before filling it to the brim with things they'll totally use, and sort, tomorrow, or the day after that at the latest!
I need to grab a hard drive to offload some stuff off of my ssd tbh
Considser grabbing an (additional) HDD! They're cheap now if you need 4-8TB or so
I was planning just to grab a 2tb Seagate, I don't think I need too much space tbh
But yeah good idea for backing up stuff
A 4TB might be marginally more expensive
https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#sort=ppgb&page=1
Sorted by price/GB. Cheapest 4TB drive is under $70
I'll consider that for a backup or files I don't refer to often
Would a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7300HQ Work good?
That looks like a laptop part.
Do you also have a GPU with that?
Also, you only really need the 'Intel 7300HQ' part. Everything else is marketing and doesn't mean anything :3
Someone mentioned having the same cpu, it is a laptop
Paired with a 1050
Might be the same in this case
I guess the game will run fine then
The base clock is 2.5ghz and they were getting about 30fps
Settings and resolution?
1080 low, I think they said it only went up to around 40 at 720
on a 1050?
Yeah, in a laptop to be fair. Thermals are gonna play a decent role
'Paired with a 1050' wdym by that i aint really a Component expert
A GTX 1050, that's the GPU well tbh I don't know if that's what you have. But its what the other guy had
How do i check?
Are you using Windows 10?
Open up settings, its the Cog in the start menu
Oh wait its not in there 
Well okay likely if you were to right click on your desktop you would have an nvidia option there
I am on laptop
I understand, by desktop I mean where your program shortcuts and wallpaper is you know
Okay, yeah I guess expect similar performance like I mentioned earlier. Someone with the same specs got 30fps at 1080 low and around 40 at 720
But its playable?
pro tip: You can buy the game and return if it doesn't run
I mean that's up to you
True
check #system-specs for system specs
Recommended:
OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K or AMD equivalent
RAM: 16GB
HDD: 4 GB download, 10-15 GB unpacked
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD equivalent.
DirectX: Version 11.0 compatible video card
Network: Broadband Internet connection
30fps is usually console experience, which I mean I'm alright with if the game is good you know
should be able to play it

what should i set "CPU CULLING WORKLOAD" at for better fps? never saw such setting before
@stiff rock medium or high can work if you have a good cpu
allright thanks
My motherboard wont fucking overclock my ram for some fucking reason
but this is what we're doing with the CPU
AIDA64 is kinda wack with CPU temps
so I have two other pieces of software monitoring it for me as well
and I have good news
we're not getting past 84 on average
and I have good news
we're not getting past 84 on average so that's really good
Ram support can be kind of shitty depending on the motherboard
I have an X570 Aorus Master, I doubt it has ram issues.
You gotta look at the manufacturer qvl
"Just enable XMP they said. It'll be fun they said"
Might have to manually finagle it
Well what ram do you have?
G Skill Trident Z Neo
Good for 3600mhz
its still running at 2133 according to task manager
What's the part number for the ram?
It would be on the barcode I think on the packaging
Yeah it’s on barcode
Something like F4-3600 etc etc
You can take the casing off it, and find a small sticker on the side with barcode and all that
Its the only way to confirm if its listed on the manufacturer's QVL
When I built my ryzen machine I had to manually set my ram at 3000 mhz in bios
And xmp was already enabled, using strix b450 f
I have a 3k kit too, but the motherboard I have doesn't support past 2933... so I'm like okay 
Lmaooo
Its fine cause I just got the Cas latency down to 14
Well specifically with this ram I guess, if it were better ram it would work 
That's the Latency and Speed but not the part number
Isnt the part number on the sticker on the ram stick
Its typically also a sticker on the packaging
Looking at my ram there's a sticker on one side of the heatsink with that information
Yes?
this?
Yeah
32gb 3200mhz cas 14. best sweetspot
I could only get cas 16 though 🙃
Im still tryna get this workin
Went for 2x8GB 3600C16
but gigabyte bioses are shite, regardless if they have the best vrms etc

good its about the same anyway anyone in their right mind should go for cas16 as its way cheaper
3600C16 is cheaper than 3200C14 so yeah better to go for the former
90E + 15E shipping for the 16gb
if you got money cas 14 is worth it for mininum.and avarage framerates
thats only showing 1800mhz @north bronze or am I reading that wrong
double it
i like good frametimings so yeah invest in best of best ram you can afford
Fair
working out for me tbh
i cant remember what my ram was at lol
you do need XMP for 3600 but tbh who cares, works gr8
XMP is fine.
I’m pretty sure it’s like 3200CAS14 is much better than 3600CAS16 from what I’ve heard
most people should 100% stay with xmp profiles
if they dont work, update/fix ur bios
I manually overclocked my old ram
but xmp is what got me buying the gskill
well if you get cas 14 ram and a good kit you automaticly are going to get a ram that is a good overclocker
cos they already a more cherry pick stick for that speeds.
overclocking ram manually is really hard and difficult and not recommended unless you are someone who knows what they are doing
you can mess with voltages and speeds and leave timings alone if you cant get xmp to work. is ur best shot m8
Speaking of CAS and MHz, the thing that really matters is true latency vs bandwidth.
Take (2/GHz) * CAS and you get the latency, in nano-seconds. Less is better
MHz is raw bandwidth, more is better.
CAS is latency in clock cycles.
For a quick and dirty estimate, take MHz / CAS. This gives you the 'latency performance' number that's arbitrary. Higher is better, aim for 200 or more. 250 is about the best money can buy.
3200MHz CAS14 is exactly the same latency as 3600MHz CAS16,
When comparing kits, if the latency is the same, but the bandwidth is higher, that's better. If bandwidth is the same, but latency is lower, that's better.
If neither is different, use the 'latency performance' to compare. MHz / CL, more is better. If latency is within 10, but there's a difference in bandwidth, go for bandwidth. In most applications, that'll make the bigger difference.
Oh, and do make sure to run the infinity fabric at 1800MHz, unless RAM is 133MHz away or less. That's the 'real clock' not effective speed; 3200MHz RAM is 1600MHz real clock with double-data-rate, DDR
@vapid crypt So I'll need to manually overclock it right?
Changed the multiplier to 36 and turned off XMP
Still nothing lmao
ok so i need to know something... i live in Iran located in middle east and my internet is restricted. so i want to make sure if i can play this game with a playable ping and without using a 'vpn' connection (because some games are blocked for me and i have to use vpn connection). can someone help me to find out?
Yeah it seems the ram just doesn't work with that board 
Thats bullshit
So, no matter what I do, I can't get this ram to be running faster?
I'm not even sure what I should adjust in the BIOS to even attempt to get this running at 3600mhz outside of changing the clock speed.
Try setting XMP and lowering the clocks
XMP automatically wants it to be at 3600 CL16-18-18-32-48 iirc or something like that
But then we boot into windows, and it doesnt work.
Just out of curiosity, the sticks are occupying slots 2 and 4 correct?
