#

if my friend brought 2 ammo bags id go 6 turrets

#

one of the hardest missions to do with randoms, id say was the yatch one

balmy knoll
#

y'all do stealth with randos?

vapid crypt
#

Literally any stealth mission

restive garnet
#

On occasion

#

Mostly just stealth carry

fleet canopy
#

I would prefer by self, but randoms are always good for the kind of harder stealth

balmy knoll
#

are there more guards with more players?

vapid crypt
#

Stealth in Payday isn't my favorite

restive garnet
#

Nope

fleet canopy
#

Like Meth lab stealth ๐Ÿ‘€ only solo

restive garnet
#

I just hated some of the decisions around pagers

#

I liked everyone only being able to answer 1 pager

fleet canopy
#

Or the full "non" stealthable heist

restive garnet
#

I also like the silent assassin concept

clear quartz
#

farming rat labs on when overkill was the second hardest

restive garnet
#

But clearly, most levels arent designed with that in mind

fleet canopy
#

Silent Assassin is just like

balmy knoll
#

silent assassin feels kinda cheap the way it was implemented

fleet canopy
#

True, but it'd be more sensible than just having to answer pagers every goddamn kill tbh

balmy knoll
#

you can't really ballance it tho

restive garnet
#

I liked the concept, not the execution

vapid crypt
#

I don't really like using too many mechanic mods, the only ones I used were the mods that improved partner AI and gave them extra usability

restive garnet
#

Only balancing you could do would be in level design

clear quartz
#

i thought you had only 3 pagers per stealth mission

balmy knoll
#

4

fleet canopy
#

I once saw a dude with like

#

So many goddamn mods that were to make the game more easier to run

#

Like a whole shitload that you could make a big paragraph with all the titles

clear quartz
#

i never had any issues with pd2

#

i ran it on a laptop

fleet canopy
#

Payday 2 is unoptimized as balls

#

Even though it really really could use optimization

balmy knoll
#

payday 2 is made on a car engine

fleet canopy
#

Like fr it looks like you could run it 100FPS no problem on a shitbox

restive garnet
#

It runs fairly well these days

vapid crypt
#

Depends on the map

fleet canopy
#

Even despite it being a car engine, they can't do driving too well

restive garnet
#

I get 100+ fps on 3440x1440 with literally thousands of bodies piled up around me

fleet canopy
#

Although driving isn't too bad

restive garnet
#

Driving is pretty fucky tho

fleet canopy
#

Yaeh

restive garnet
#

Particularly on low spwc computers

fleet canopy
#

It's weird and wonky

vapid crypt
#

I know the engine was made for car games, but largely the engine was barely used for those kinds of games

restive garnet
#

I legitimately couldnt finish the car shop on deathwish

vapid crypt
#

Like it was used in a Ghost Recon game

clear quartz
#

what engine is it?

balmy knoll
#

diesel

fleet canopy
#

Diesel

clear quartz
#

oh

fleet canopy
#

Car go vroom

#

It's a 1990s engine

vapid crypt
#

Payday 2 uses a updated iteration Diesel 2

restive garnet
#

Because due to laptops specs, the car wouldnt travel fast enough to get to the escape in time

fleet canopy
#

Why would laptop specs not allow your car go vroom?

restive garnet
#

Idek

#

Game was weird on that laptop

#

Cpu would hit 100% and ai would bug out

#

Like all the ai would just freeze

#

You could walk through an entire group and maybe 1 would shoot at you

clear quartz
#

what laptop specs tho?

restive garnet
#

I3 3217u with 4 gb ram

balmy knoll
#

ovkl actually had to patch this so ppl wouldn't host on a low spec pc to mess with the ai

clear quartz
#

oof

restive garnet
#

I miss the old riot shield glitch tho

fleet canopy
#

lol

restive garnet
#

Where they would automatically face away from you after sprinting

balmy knoll
#

what glitch?

fleet canopy
#

It was neat

balmy knoll
#

lol

fleet canopy
#

Oh?

clear quartz
#

lol

fleet canopy
#

I thought you meant using the shield as cover

restive garnet
#

So they would sprint up to you, then turn around and line the back kf their skull up with your gun

balmy knoll
#

ik you're biased cause you bought the game but would you recommend gtfo?

fleet canopy
#

Not biased

restive garnet
#

Eh

#

I dont know jf i would

fleet canopy
#

GTFO is okay if you're into that sort of stealth with teamwork

restive garnet
#

^

clear quartz
#

^^

vapid crypt
#

I bought it so PirateSimon

balmy knoll
#

I don't have friends tho

restive garnet
#

You get severely disadvantaged for having less players

balmy knoll
#

friends who would spend the 30 bucks anyway

clear quartz
#

dearhly disadvantaged

fleet canopy
#

LFG exists

restive garnet
#

I think its a bit of a niche game

#

And at that price

#

I cant make a general recommendation to buy it

fleet canopy
#

Same

#

It seems too much for what the game offers

#

At least maybe now for the moment

restive garnet
#

Yeah

#

Particularly given the nature of the content

balmy knoll
#

welp, the best that came out of this was the payday 2 discussion

restive garnet
#

Its a bunch of snapmap style levels

balmy knoll
#

still trying to find something from the steam sale

restive garnet
#

And it might take you hours to do some levels

#

Mostly because trial and error

#

So you get bored fairly quickly

vapid crypt
#

My buddy told me that for this run down, it took him 15 hours of attempts to beat D1

restive garnet
#

Id believe it

#

It took me about 10 hours

fleet canopy
#

There's a shitload of good games for 10$ or under

#

Alien Isolation for one

#

There's also quite a nice few in 15$ range

restive garnet
#

My recommendation is always dungeon siege 1 and 2

vapid crypt
#

I picked up a handfull of games already

restive garnet
#

Goes for like 3 bucks nz each

#

Fuck dungeon siege 3 tho

#

Square enix ruining franchises because they can

vapid crypt
#

Sounds about right

fleet canopy
#

Just Cause 3 ๐Ÿ‘€

vapid crypt
#

Sounds like modern game companies phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

I believe it's at

#

7$

vapid crypt
#

I got bored of Just Cause 3 after finishing the first section of the game

restive garnet
#

Like, dungeon siefe 1 and 2, gas powered games

vapid crypt
#

But I got the deluxe edition for like 6 bucks so phaWesker

restive garnet
#

3 was obsidian by contract with square enix

#

And i had a talk with a guy from obsidian a few years back

vapid crypt
#

Obsidian just gets shafted by the publishers they work with

restive garnet
#

Basically asked him why obsidian could make fantastic games like fallout new vegas

fleet canopy
#

JC3 got way fucking boring after the whole campaign was over

restive garnet
#

And ruin games like dungeon siege 3 and kotor 2

vapid crypt
#

New Vegas was an amazing success considering they only had 18 months

restive garnet
#

His answer was literally publishers

vapid crypt
#

But they still got shafted cause of 1 point on metacritic

restive garnet
#

Square enix wanted dungeon siege 3 to be more console and microtransaction friendly

fleet canopy
#

I guess publishers are the big reason to how good a game is

balmy knoll
#

new vegas was the only fallout I enjoyed

clear quartz
#

new vegas is my fav 3d fallout game

restive garnet
#

And lucas arts apparently had a project canceled, and they wanted something to release for the christmas period

vapid crypt
#

Fallout 2 will always be my personal favorite

clear quartz
#

fallout 3 and 4 are subpar

restive garnet
#

So they moved kotor 2 up by nearly a year

clear quartz
#

first kotor was great

fleet canopy
#

I've never really got into Fallout too much

clear quartz
#

top tier rpg

restive garnet
#

Kotor was was god tier

#

Kotor 2 just felt dead inside

#

Literally a husk of a game

balmy knoll
#

any recommendations besides rpgs?

restive garnet
#

Deep rock galactic is aight

#

Sea of thieves

balmy knoll
#

had my eyes on that but again, no friends

vapid crypt
#

Deep Rock you can play solo

#

You get a handy dandy drone pal

balmy knoll
#

ik you can play solo but would you?

vapid crypt
#

Sure

balmy knoll
#

Sea of thieves
@restive garnet not on sale tho

vapid crypt
#

I mean I have before

#

I prefer to play with at least one other person though

balmy knoll
#

yep

#

that's the point

restive garnet
#

Rust, borderlands, oblivion

clear quartz
#

any recommendations besides rpgs?
@balmy knoll deoends on what type if game you like

balmy knoll
#

roguelikes, fps games and some strategy games

restive garnet
#

Dead island for some zombie slaying

fleet canopy
#

I guess Civilization V is neat for you maybe

vapid crypt
#

Ah well speaking of Rougelikes I just got Risk of Rain 2, but I suppose while you could play solo that's more of a co-op game

clear quartz
#

any fromsoft game?

restive garnet
#

Might enjoy project zomboid as well

clear quartz
#

dying light?

balmy knoll
#

Risk of Rain 2 was too generous with the hopoo deal

fleet canopy
#

Dying Light I could recommend

restive garnet
#

Bioshock infinite

balmy knoll
#

half off on launch day

fleet canopy
#

Same thing for me though, boring after you're done

#

But the DLC campaigns are something to look at

restive garnet
#

Dying light is harder to get in to compared to dead island

vapid crypt
#

I beat the following, thought the endings were shit and never touched it again

fleet canopy
#

It's okay if you like the multiplayer

vapid crypt
#

But I mean customizing your personal buggy

#

That's pretty fun

restive garnet
#

Spore is another great game

fleet canopy
#

And they have those like, custom snapmaps kinda thinjg

#

They're pretty cool

restive garnet
#

Wolfenstein

#

Doom

clear quartz
#

i love to run around parkouring

restive garnet
#

Metro

fleet canopy
#

You mean Penis Evolution Game?

vapid crypt
#

Dusk

fleet canopy
#

Dusk I can recommend if you love the 90s game

restive garnet
#

Fable

vapid crypt
#

Dusk is for the classic fps connoisseur

fleet canopy
#

I tried it out, was pretty neat imo

#

Yeah

restive garnet
#

Halo

#

Thief

vapid crypt
#

Though I think if you enjoyed Doom 2016, Dusk would be right up your alley

clear quartz
#

fable game was great

restive garnet
#

Bear in mind the most recent thief game is another square enix shitshow tho

clear quartz
#

i wish we had a 3rd fable game

fleet canopy
#

Metro 2033/2034 is great, Exodus is also very good but it isn't gonna have you constantly in the metro if you like it for that

restive garnet
#

There was a third fable game

#

It was shit

clear quartz
#

no there wasn't

#

there wasn't

restive garnet
#

I agree

fleet canopy
#

If you mean like

#

The 8 fable games

#

Then uhh

restive garnet
#

I to wish to refuse to acknowledge its existence

fleet canopy
#

Fair enough

clear quartz
#

i miss the old AC games

balmy knoll
#

is how intuitive would you say is thief?

fleet canopy
#

I miss Skate 2/3

abstract kite
#

Oh come now we have AC Valhalla.

balmy knoll
#

seems interesting but I tried to play deus ex and it was a bust for me

fleet canopy
#

Thief is a pretty neat game, boring after done with campaign

restive garnet
#

Id say go back to thief deadly shadows

#

Its fairly straight forward

fleet canopy
#

Fairly straightforward, pfft

clear quartz
#

Assassin creed 2 and brotherhood were the best ones

fleet canopy
#

I tried the old gfame

#

Fucking

restive garnet
#

Stay in shadows, hit people from behind

#

Etc

fleet canopy
#

Couldn't get past one part of the tutorial

restive garnet
#

Lmfaooo

fleet canopy
#

Because tbh it was vague as fuck at that point

balmy knoll
#

Thief is a pretty neat game, boring after done with campaign
I am way too spoiled from rogue-likes

fleet canopy
#

Terraria

vapid crypt
#

If you want realism get Thief Simulator PirateSimon

clear quartz
#

shadowrun

restive garnet
#

Dishonored is what thief should have been

vapid crypt
#

Terraria is pretty cool

fleet canopy
#

Dishonored is great

clear quartz
#

fucking love the 1rst dishonored

vapid crypt
#

More in depth than I expected actually

fleet canopy
#

The others I cannot say, never played them

#

Only finished the first

balmy knoll
#

Terraria already kicked my ass with master mode

clear quartz
#

2 got pretty meh rather quick

fleet canopy
#

I liked the whole idea of Killing = Bad ending

vapid crypt
#

I think Expert is hard enough for me phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

I never beat Terraria lol

clear quartz
#

I liked the whole idea of Killing = Bad ending
@fleet canopy not if you get the sandificatin skill

vapid crypt
#

I haven't beaten it yet either

fleet canopy
#

Friend just kept wanting us to redo it or some dumb shit

#

And only wanted to fucking do EXPERT

#

EXPERT

#

He was

#

Fucking bad at it really

#

His brother only made it way more obvious lmfao

balmy knoll
#

revengeance was way more enjoyable for me than master mode

vapid crypt
#

Metal Gear Rising?

fleet canopy
#

Revemgeance?

balmy knoll
#

modded terraria

fleet canopy
#

Ah

balmy knoll
#

calamity

vapid crypt
#

Oh okay phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

I really have to try the Terraria modded stuff

restive garnet
#

I hated being sheperded into certain endings

fleet canopy
#

Never touched them

balmy knoll
#

a lot of references to mgs revengeance in the mod

vapid crypt
#

Its MGR, but yeah that makes sense then

balmy knoll
#

oops yea

clear quartz
#

there's quite the strategy in dark souls games

restive garnet
#

I dont mind 'X persons fate dictates ending', but i hate the you killed to many people sort of thing

vapid crypt
#

Bed of Chaos, pinnacle of strategy PirateSimon

fleet canopy
#

Hm.

clear quartz
#

lol

balmy knoll
#

@fleet canopy calamity and thorium are the bread and butter of modded terraria

fleet canopy
#

World at War ๐Ÿ‘€

balmy knoll
#

you should try them

fleet canopy
#

Alr

#

Never heard of Thorium tho

clear quartz
#

oh, digimon story hackers memories

balmy knoll
#

more content throughout the game

#

not so much post moon lord focus

clear quartz
#

hackers memories has god tier storytelling if you ask me

balmy knoll
#

like calamity is only like halfway done when u beat moon lord

restive garnet
#

7 days to die is fantastic

vapid crypt
#

Uh...

restive garnet
#

Even if optimization leaves a lot to be desired

clear quartz
#

heat signature,anyone?

balmy knoll
#

felt like gunpoint tbh

#

you get the loop halfway trough, have fun for a few more levels and then it's a slog

clear quartz
#

true

restive garnet
#

The witcher

clear quartz
#

oof

balmy knoll
#

the witcher and ds have been sitting on the backburner for like 3 months for me

clear quartz
#

the first witcher is kinda painful to play tbh

fleet canopy
#

I never got too into Witcher 3?

#

I still needed more time to play it

balmy knoll
#

not really

fleet canopy
#

Curse the family share having ended

restive garnet
#

Homefront the revolution is a fun game, if you get jt cheap

fleet canopy
#

Oh yeah

restive garnet
#

The ai is mediocre at best

fleet canopy
#

It's definitely a neat game ish

#

But it's not the most exciting tbf

balmy knoll
#

I never got too into Witcher 3?
I just jumped into the highest difficulty and the way the first boss tanked left a bad taste in my mouth

fleet canopy
#

Original Homefront multiplayer still is going on if it still is to this day

restive garnet
#

Id happily recommend it on sale

clear quartz
#

id recommend monster hunter

balmy knoll
#

the best/worst thing that happened this sale is that titanfall 2 is filled with newbs

restive garnet
#

Titanfall 2 is fun

fleet canopy
#

I got gifted Titanfall 2 from someone cause they were like "Fuck it lol"

#

It's neat

restive garnet
#

First game i played on my ultrawide

#

No regrets

fleet canopy
#

I spent all the little uhh

restive garnet
#

Makes mech piloting that much more baller

balmy knoll
#

I feel dread when I see "tracked by a pilot" on the bottom of my screen

fleet canopy
#

Money things into shit I wanted and knew I'd be okay

#

The fucking world scan/regular scan thing is such a fucking pain

#

It happens almost constantly

clear quartz
#

titanfall 2 is so such a great fps

restive garnet
#

If you dont mind origin stuff, mirrors edge is fun

fleet canopy
#

That I feel like I would just get the damn tracker and yeet it 24/7

#

Mirror's Edge is great

#

It's straightforward, one path to go

balmy knoll
#

lol I remember when I bought titanfall 2 on origin and the deluxe edition was like 5 euros cheaper than the normal one

fleet canopy
#

But it offers so much good stuff

#

lel

balmy knoll
#

people actually have to unlock titans

clear quartz
#

I'd actually half hesrtly recommend battlefront 2 (2017)

fleet canopy
#

I think I had all the titans from start?

#

I could be very wrong

restive garnet
#

Honestly, i bought titanfall 2 for 40 bucks

fleet canopy
#

Must be from my buying spree of the ingame money thing

restive garnet
#

Spent 20 hours playing the campaign

clear quartz
#

i got the 5 euro sale

restive garnet
#

Felt like i got my moneys worth

fleet canopy
#

The campaign is great

balmy knoll
#

deluxe edition for 10 euros was lit

clear quartz
#

oh yeaj

vapid crypt
#

Oh actually I didn't know it was a game with a campaign, maybe I would have gotten it then

restive garnet
#

Every so often i jump on and do the fire from the sky mission

balmy knoll
#

titanfall 1 didn't have a campaign

vapid crypt
#

I thought it was a purely multiplayer shooter

balmy knoll
#

they had the brilliant idea of integrating the campaign into multiplayer

restive garnet
#

Because its just a pure mission of mech carnage

clear quartz
#

tbh i feel fallen order is a very meh game

fleet canopy
#

The multiplayer campaign thing was

#

Just

#

Eh

clear quartz
#

i wouldn't recommend it

balmy knoll
#

titan combat is a meh for me

#

I'm a ronin main tho

fleet canopy
#

I mainly just play PvP

clear quartz
#

same

restive garnet
#

Starwars jedi knight academy

#

Fun game

balmy knoll
#

I mainly just play PvP
idk with the steam wave but before the queue for pvp was longer than the match itself

clear quartz
#

best star wars light saber combat

Starwars jedi knight academy
@restive garnet

restive garnet
#

Tbh, i was a filthy tone main

#

Tho i dont mind legion

balmy knoll
#

been there

#

gen 3 on tone

#

now I find joy in making tones cry with the ark wave

restive garnet
#

I also didnt mind ion

#

But ion is a bit harder to play

balmy knoll
#

if u play ion you gotta play at range and spam laser shot

clear quartz
#

^

restive garnet
#

I just found i was burnjng my energy so quickly

balmy knoll
#

your core is one of the best so try to get that

#

don't use split shot

#

it's terribly inefficient

restive garnet
#

Triple tap anti titan laser and then be useless for the next 15 seconds

#

Which is where i liked tone

balmy knoll
#

it's better to laser shot 2 times and then go with normal fire

restive garnet
#

A bit lower burst

#

But no issue sustainjng

clear quartz
#

if i do hate 1 things about pvp its the kraber campers

balmy knoll
#

ppl actually camp with kraber?

clear quartz
#

lol yeah

balmy knoll
#

y'all didn't hear about a thing called spitfire + amp wall

clear quartz
#

hate that too

balmy knoll
#

most ppl who use kraber are gen 20 sweats who cannot find enjoyment in using car and going smooth brain mode

clear quartz
#

^^

#

i like using the softball from time to time

fleet canopy
#

I mainly like using the gun that looks like it's a mix of an AK an an FN FAL

balmy knoll
#

flatline?

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

restive garnet
#

Flatline was great

#

Shame they fucked it in apex

balmy knoll
#

?

clear quartz
#

i haven't used it much

balmy knoll
#

the flatline is great in apex

fleet canopy
#

The side recoil is pretty fucking hard

#

Well not too hard

#

But it's a bit of a pain

clear quartz
#

i do love it on apex

restive garnet
#

They nerfed the hell out of the damage last time i played

fleet canopy
#

Still imo a good gun for damage

balmy knoll
#

the side recoil can either just cancel itself out or just screw you over in titanfall

restive garnet
#

It was basically the same damage as the r301

balmy knoll
#

They nerfed the hell out of the damage last time i played
the only time they nerfed the damage was on the spitfire and r99

#

flatline was only buffed

restive garnet
#

I stopped playing a few months after launch

clear quartz
#

hmmm if I'm not mistaken it does 18 gamage

balmy knoll
#

20 now

restive garnet
#

So it probably hadnt been buffed by then

clear quartz
#

hemlock is 22

balmy knoll
#

the dps is pretty much identical to r301

restive garnet
#

While the 301 is more accurate and has a larger magazine

balmy knoll
#

the recoil is higher but it's less dependent on attachments

#

nope

#

flatline has 30 max, r301 only 28

clear quartz
#

wasnt flatline a bit higher than r301?

restive garnet
#

Last i played, the 301 was larger than that

#

33 rounds iirc

balmy knoll
#

it was always like this

#

it had bigger mag size in titanfall too if I'm correct

clear quartz
#

i do hate the G7 iron sights in apex

restive garnet
#

Base damage when i played for 301 was 14, 16 on flatline

#

But the 301 was generally better all around

balmy knoll
#

the 301 is still better if it's fully kitted

restive garnet
#

Couldnt stand the flatline

#

Loved it in titanfall 2

balmy knoll
#

but a white 301 vs a white flatline would lose

restive garnet
#

Depends on usage

balmy knoll
#

dps race with decent accuracy

restive garnet
#

301 can maintain a higher accuracy at range than flatline

fleet canopy
#

Yeah the 301 had 33

#

At least should have 33

balmy knoll
#

I have played since launch week and I don't remember it ever having 33

restive garnet
#

Also, throwback to mozambiques

clear quartz
#

i already forgotten about few months post lauch

balmy knoll
#

I liked how fast it was for a br

#

compared to pubg where everyone was camping with a sniper and fortnite where ppl built a 6 story mansion at the sound of a gunshot

restive garnet
#

I liked the faster pace, i just hated how weird time to kill felt for such a fast paced game

clear quartz
#

the ttk is what makes it special than other br games

fleet canopy
#

ttk?

#

Me bum dumb

balmy knoll
#

time to kill

fleet canopy
#

Ah yes

#

I just notice after I put in my message

balmy knoll
#

it takes like a whole second to kill someone

restive garnet
#

If you are landing shots

balmy knoll
#

yea

#

with a lot of guns if you don't hit +50% of your bullets you gotta reload

restive garnet
#

And that was where i struggled

clear quartz
#

apex ttk makes it great as you dont get snipped out of fucking nowhere

restive garnet
#

Everyones zooming around so im missing most of my shots

#

Only gun i was consitent with was peacekeeper and spitfire

balmy knoll
#

apex snipers have been nerfed a lot

clear quartz
#

oh yeaj

balmy knoll
#

they made sniper attachments and ammo exclusive from other guns

restive garnet
#

That being said, i enjoyed the prowler and longbow/scout

balmy knoll
#

you have no reason to pick up a sniper if it isn't a kraber or you have an evo

clear quartz
#

i miss when the long bow was heavy type

balmy knoll
#

s1 longbow near the repulsor ramp

#

pain

#

a bit off topic but I don't like how much of trust has been lost from early access games

clear quartz
#

i played one month aftwr launch then took a break and returned mid seasom 2

fleet canopy
#

I tried Apex Legends

#

Didn't like it so much

#

The fact you're forced to play with 2 other people is just dumb

balmy knoll
#

now you're only forced to play with 1 other guy

clear quartz
#

lol

balmy knoll
#

they added duos

fleet canopy
#

Oh?

#

Eh

#

Still want solo

clear quartz
#

permanent dous

fleet canopy
#

I wouldn't play it still anyways

fresh breach
#

my friends GTX780 laptop keeps crashing while playing GTFO is there a fix?

balmy knoll
#

lol I just realised we're in tech talk

fleet canopy
#

Meh

balmy knoll
#

this server probably needs more general channels

clear quartz

If you have more than 1 graphics card in sli it will cause the game to stutter

I guess Yakuza 0 isn't the most stable game

This is Just with my boot SSD in, Ive tried a bunch of shit with no working fixes, and the only support Iโ€™ve gotten is people telling me I have to reinstall Windows, or that my MB is dead for SATA

Any help would be appreciated, since my fucking PC is dead now

Tried with all of the drives I have

Still setting up a spare shitty PC I have with an HDD dock to see if thereโ€™s an issue there, just taking forever

Iโ€™m just fucked

merry bay
#

Did you try the most recent link yet?

#

You said you can still enter BIOS, so have you explored boot priority options yet?

#

The screen can see your partitions clearly. It just defaults to EFI for some reason

#

a picture of your bios boot options would be helpful

rapid plume
#

Wonโ€™t let me change out of UEFI

#

Iโ€™ll try that after

merry bay
#

before entering bios is there a button you can press to enter boot menu or something of that sort?

rapid plume
#

No

merry bay
#

it could be f9 or f11 or f12, basically depends on the motherboard

#

can try digging around for Fast Boot to disable it, then try to see if Legacy boot(instead of just UEFI) becomes an option

#

just disabling Fast Boot might do the trick

Iโ€™ve never had it enabled

@vapid crypt
I don't know whether to be intrigued or worried about the fact that Big Navi has been almost "hush-hush" from AMD.

fleet canopy
#

The leaks are leaking into the trash can

stable wyvern
#

TBF, the higher end AMD cards have often times been sparse on details

#

Their lower and mid end cards have significantly more information leakage

fleet canopy
#

I mean, it'd make fair sense for lower end specs to be more leaked

abstract kite
#

That's typically where AMD floods the market, so that's probably what the majority of AMD buyers would be interested in.

#

Imo at least.

I just cant wait for bigger GPUs. Its about time we had a new standard. More size less heat more performance.

fleet canopy
#

I don't think bigger makes it better GWmythicalThonkCool

Maybe more fans, sure

But bigger seems unnecessary

spark canyon
#

But they are having to make the tech smaller to fit on the gpus... so the gpu size standard is definitely a limiter.

Its looking like Ampere is gonna be hotter on average, they're cranking clocks and wattages. Course the performance will make up for that

the 1650 is a good card, but it is by no means a power house.
by comparison, my gtx 970 can barely hit 75 on low. (0 prerendered frames).

i would play with the cpu culling feature tbh

and tweak the game profile in the nvidia settings.

I run my stuff on Max and I'm rocking a 1060 an amd 8350fx with 16 gigs of RAM so he should be fine?

doggopeek I can't wait for 3000 series to turn into mining cards and skyrocket the prices

bright shard
#

1060 is a good deal stronger than 1650

merry bay
#

Try turning up prerendered frames in advanced settings. (at least 4+)
See if that makes a difference

#

Might have to resort to low settings if 60fps is important though

bright shard
#

i dont like the frame lag, but yeah, you might get better luck with increasing prerendered frames.

1 dead pixel, hm

I'd have let it wait, those can go away in a bit

fleet canopy
#

I mean, I remember having a dead pixel on my TV at one point

But yeah not noticeable unless you have the color on another color that's easy to notice difference

1 dead pixel still won't allow a return, maybe it's the company that allows it, as a majority stil lwon't allow

@unreal bloom Either go to the sound panel, choose your mic and lower the volume (your list will look different)

or try these settings ^^ Something they are also in the sound panel (depends on the sound driver your laptop has)

I'm glad I don't pay for shipping. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

lmfao

eternal cairn
fleet canopy
#

The gash

eternal cairn
#

Or maybe the pixels are just cracked.

#

Either way, it's ridiculous.

#

I'm contemplating buying 2 of this same monitor when it restocks so I don't have to wait when I return it the next time.

fleet canopy
#

Better you didn't lmfao

#

Cause you'll have a useless 2nd monitor at this point tbf

eternal cairn
#

I can still return it.

fleet canopy
#

Oh?

eternal cairn
#

The whole ordeal is to get a version of the monitor without any dead pixels or other panel-related defects.

lilac geyser
#

how many returns so far?

eternal cairn
#

In total, including this one, it'll be 3.

#

But I actually bought a different variant of the monitor: the 27G2, which is essentially the same as the 24G2 except it's 27" and has G-Sync compatibility.

#

Of course, I still returned that one for the same reason.

#

Also, I'm still undecided on which one I want.

#

There's no flickering with the 27G2 (which makes sense since Nvidia verified it), but the 24G2 (which didn't pass Nvidia's tests) experienced some minor flickering when starting up a game, which is a little worrying if it happens mid-game.

fleet canopy
#

NVIDIA's testing of freesync compactible is a joke

lilac geyser
#

I should start monitor lottery, all monitors guaranteed to have no dead pixels for 2x the price

eternal cairn
#

I don't understand what AOC did differently with their 27G2 and 24G2 for one to work perfectly with G-Sync but the other not to.

#

If you want monitors for 2x the price, you should check all the 3rd party sellers on Amazon. They price gouge like it's the apocalypse.

lilac geyser
#

lol true, i just checked a 10700K on silicon lottery, and it cheaper than on amazon

#

RIP

fleet canopy
#

Like I said

#

It's a fucking joke

#

Any NVIDIA card should work fine with a freesync

eternal cairn
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

That's the theory, anyway.

fleet canopy
#

The testing for that monitor was probably done with a shit batch of that monitor so they just called it a day and said it didn't work

#

Why would it be a theory?

#

It's been a thing for more than a year probably

#

So there's no theories

eternal cairn
#

We don't know if the adaptive sync modules they use are configured any different from other monitors.

fleet canopy
#

So what if it isn't?

#

It should work nonetheless

#

Or just don't use it at all

eternal cairn
#

There's probably a lot more to the technical side we don't know about. Also, if all Freesync monitors are supposed to work with G-Sync, then why is it that there are Freesync monitors that have issues with ghosting and flickering with G-Sync?

fleet canopy
#

if it has that problem, then don't use it

#

Otherwise I wouldn't ever care about using freesync/gsync

#

I either use vsync or just not cap it at all

eternal cairn
#

Well... technically there is.

#

Freesync 2/Freesync Premium.

#

But it's shit from what I've heard.

lilac geyser
#

the hardware on the minitor that runs freesync is really similar to the hardware that runs gsync

#

nvidea get over yourselves and find a common standard

eternal cairn
#

They're too busy wiping their asses with the money they make from G-Sync to care about what consumers think.

#

I've never had an AMD graphics card, but I don't think getting one is going to be nearly as flawless as Nvidia cards I've had in the past.

#

Aren't their drivers shit though?

fleet canopy
#

They improved drivers on the 5000 series a lot and it's pretty damn good

eternal cairn
#

The only thing that'll convince me to go AMD is if they have a substantial performance boost over the next Nvidia cards.

fleet canopy
#

Haven't heard a complaint about the 5000 series in a while

lilac geyser
#

nazo: what if they have the best value card?

#

nearly as good as competition but for way less

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

That little amount of performance over AMD is just stupid going for NVIDIA if their prices are stupid

#

Big

#

Dying at one point to being a legendary company that has revolutionized technology so damn well with their Ryzen releases and their GPUs

eternal cairn
#

I mean, if AMD's gpus are in the same ballpark as Nvidia's in terms of performance, then I'll consider AMD. I still prefer value for performance.

fleet canopy
#

At least we aren't stuck with 4 cores lol

#

Radeon VII with 300W but just comparable with a 2070 Super

#

Better than a 1080 Ti ๐Ÿ‘€

#

And better yet, fucking 300$ less

#

lmao

#

At least from this list

#

I assume it's much more

vapid crypt
#

Well yeah twice the amount of Vram and a shit ton more bandwidth

#

Of course it'll be more expensive

fleet canopy
#

I'm surprised the 2070 Super is above the 1080 Ti though

vapid crypt
#

Well that makes sense cause of drivers

fleet canopy
#

At least it has 16GB VRAM

#

16GB of VRAM unlike every xx80 Ti release from 980 Ti to now

vapid crypt
#

So Nvidia typically they will kinda stop game driver support for older cards for the most part, that's kind of where the false rumor of Nvidia cards getting slower over time come from. Its not that they get slower its just they optimize for their newer cards

fleet canopy
#

Don't think that'd apply to apple though ๐Ÿ‘€

So and 7000 series of an i7?

vapid crypt

No the first number denotes generation

Used to be a bit different in earlier generations, but recently they've decided x700 is for i7s, x900 is for i9s, x600 down to x400 is for i5s

I finally got around to installing my new M.2 SSD. I'm still missing some theoretical performance but the write is 2,000 MB/s faster than my current drive.

vapid crypt
#

I could get a second one, and I am considering it eventually

#

I still have 4 lanes left on the chipset so phaWesker

#

I did get a cheaper nvme, so nearly half as fast as that one. Though it cost as much as a Sata SSD so I'm not complaining

void perch
#

my mobo supports 3 ๐Ÿ™‚

#

So write is a bit slower, I didn't gain on read, which is fine

#

I think my CPU might be capping it tbh

vapid crypt
#

Yeah it should say if its NVME on its label, though the other tell is if it has a single notch for its contacts

fleet canopy
#

NVME has one small gap in the slot part, SATA M.2 has two gaps

vapid crypt
#

Yeah that's an NVME drive

fleet canopy
#

Samsung obviously has NVME lel

void perch
vapid crypt
#

Well yeah I doubt Samsung makes Sata M.2s

void perch
#

Note: In order to take advantage of these speeds, a PCIe Gen4 motherboard is REQUIRED. Otherwise it will be at pcie gen 3 speed at max of 3400MB/s.
hmm this could be it too

#

though I thought I checked and my mobo is gen 4

vapid crypt
#

This is on the threadripper system?

void perch
#

I didn't go with a threadripper

vapid crypt
#

I see

#

X570?

void perch
#

Triple Ultra-Fast M.2 with PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA interface
ahh yeah board is gen 3

#

I must have looked up one of the newer revisions of the board that was gen 4

#

either way, still a big perf bump, I might get a threadripper in the future and can reuse this drive

sick reef
#

When you get your random read/write up to 3400, that's the real important bottleneck

eternal cairn
#

Is there a way to test USB speed/bandwidth?

#

My Elgato HD60s occasionally drops frames, regardless of the recording software I use.

sick reef
#

It's running on USB and not PCIe?

eternal cairn
#

USB 3.0.

vapid crypt
#

Are you running it through something like OBS?

eternal cairn
#

I usually use OBS for streaming and occasional recording, but I mainly use the Elgato software for recording.

vapid crypt
#

Ah are the frame drops apparent in the recording, or just while recording?

eternal cairn
#

Both in the preview and while recording.

vapid crypt
#

Well I mean like if you were to export the recording

eternal cairn
#

If you mean when I watch the recorded video file, yes, the frame drops are still noticeable.

vapid crypt
#

Have you tried recording via OBS, if there are framedrops using that

eternal cairn
#

Yeah, I've tried recording with OBS and the frame drops are still there.

#

(Also, it's not the games I'm recording.)

vapid crypt
#

Okay, so Usb 3.0; presumably using the appropriate bandwidth cable and its plugged in via at least a 3.0 port

eternal cairn
#

Yep.

vapid crypt
#

I'm not sure if it would be because of USB bandwidth

void perch
#

tried a diff usb port, usb cable?

vapid crypt
#

Cause if anything, that would just add a delay or lag with the recording. At least that's from what I understand considering there's a pretty big latency gap between the older Elgato model I have that uses 2.0

eternal cairn
#

Yeah, a different USB cable didn't make much of a difference either. I tried switching the ports, and it looked like it wasn't dropping as many frames, but it was still happening after a while.

bright shard
#

keep in mind, if you dont plug usb 3 in fast enough, it will register as USB 2 until replugged

abstract kite
bright shard
#

can be a problem for tight ports.

void perch
#

sick reef
#

It's likely you could see if it's plugged as USB 2/3 in BIOS, I presume, without having to pull out windows devkit

eternal cairn
#

When do you have to plug it in? Fast enough for what?

bright shard
#

its not talked about often, but can be easily observed.

sick reef
#

So, would that matter, clay, after a reboot.

bright shard
#

if its properly plugged in, on reboot it should register as 3.

lilac geyser
eternal cairn
#

I even went to the trouble of plugging my Elgato into an entirely separate USB port, and it sort of worked, but the thing that really helped was unplugging my webcam.

#

It was so bad before I unplugged my webcam, but it's still dropping frames, even now.

#

Yeesh, that's expensive, @lilac geyser.

It could have been a bandwidth limit

eternal cairn
sick reef
#

Yeah. Might appeal to some.

abstract kite
#

RGB makes your pc 10x faster ;)

sick reef
#

High-Speed is 2.0

#

But it could also be that the PCH is throttled to the point where it can't provide 3.0

#

Depending on your computers set-up, it could run M.2 as well as SATA slots on PCH, and that takes a ton

lilac geyser
#

nazo: maybe you can plug your phone in with some app that analyzes the port

eternal cairn
#

It sounds like what Clay said is possibly true.

#

Unfortunately, it seems like my device is still running at SuperSpeed.

#

So the problem probably lies elsewhere.

sick reef
#

Hence, reboot

bright shard
#

glad to see im not crazy, at least mostly.

sick reef
#

But there's a few other factors. Max amperage of USB, which is better with 3.0. Max bandwith of your PCH and your throttle limit. Total max amperage across USB ports.

eternal cairn
#

Is there a way to check the bandwidth of the PCH?

sick reef
#

Motherboard specifics

eternal cairn
#

What would the ideal amperage be for USB 3.0?

sick reef
#

There's simply a max, and sometimes it has a fuse across several USB connectors that is shared.

Wrong server

#

Sorry

abstract kite
#

No worries, just be more careful next time.

#

The amount of shit I have to optimize and get rid off on windows :(

#

Windows installs a lot of junk that you don't need sadly.

#

Yea that's unfortunate

#

If you haven't already, enable global c-states in your bios

#

helps a lot with temps.

#

I've never heard of that before, what does it do?

#

Unless I'm wrong, and there is a good chance I could be, a simplistic version to explain it is that it cuts the amount of cores down to the essential ones, and only utilizes the others if they are needed. It can lower temps and voltages to some degree.

#

Basically if a game is only using 4 cores and you have a 6 core chip, you'll have two on "standby".

#

That's a very basic (and bad) explanation. ๐Ÿคฃ

#

Sounds good, I'll look into it, thanks for recommending ๐Ÿ‘

#

On the occasion that you find that you have frame stutters in game, I'd recommend turning it off.

#

I've not noticed framedrops with it on, but experiences seem to vary.

No different then the standard rec spec Iโ€™d say @abstract kite ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Higher Cull = CPU works more, GPU works less
Lower Cull = GPU works more, CPU works less

fleet canopy
#

Hm.

#

Smaller than a 2080 Ti, how funny

#

But that'd honestly be neat

vapid crypt
#

Smaller in what way?

fleet canopy
#

I think in length

#

Oh by die

#

627mm squared die

vapid crypt
#

Right

#

Well that's common sense phaWesker

fleet canopy
#

2080 Ti with a 754mm squared

#

Yeah, makes more sense really at least

vapid crypt
#

Though interesting thought

fleet canopy
#

"An unknown GPU from Nvidia, believed to be the GeForce RTX 3080, scored an impressive 18,257 in 3D Mark Time Spy tests"

vapid crypt
#

Clearly its smaller cause they can do with the smaller node

fleet canopy
#

30.98% better than the 2080 Ti overall

#

"expected to be shown off within the next couple of months,will feature 5376 CUDA cores running at up to 2.2GHz, an improvement over current Turing GPUs that top out at toughly 2.1GHz"

vapid crypt
#

Smaller dies mean better yields overall so

#

Wait the over 5k cuda core gpu is gonna be the 3080 ti

#

The 3080 will have the same amount of cuda cores as the 2080 ti

fleet canopy
#

Oh?

#

Well maybe that was not that accurate then perhaps

#

After all, wasn't the 3070 Ti assumed to pass 2080 Ti anyways at one point?

vapid crypt
#

It should but not by a large margin

fleet canopy
#

Yeah

#

But way cheaper than a whole 1200-1600$

vapid crypt
#

I'd like to put this into perspective with what AMD is doing

#

So the RX 590 is a 36 CU Polaris graphics card, it was the last Polaris card to come out.

#

When RDNA 1 came out it introduced a card with the same amount of CUs while drawing less power and performing nearly 50% better

#

RDNA 2, at least going by what AMD has stated is expected to have 50% higher performance per watt over RDNA 1

#

Does this mean another 50% performance leap on a 36 CU card? Probably not but I wouldn't doubt they could get pretty close

vapid crypt
#

They've ended production of RTX 2000 cards, and release date for the 3080/3080 ti

abstract kite
#

Ngl Rtx 2000s were overrated, (that is unless you are planning to play one of the few games that have Ray tracing) many of my friends have had compatibility issues with the cards

#

1080 ti will smash most games rn anyways

proper wren
#

doggopeek imagine coding on a netbook

vapid crypt
#

Well this real time ray tracing is the inevitable future of continuing to expand on game graphics fidelity unfortunately, just starting off as a gimmick that you have to pay a lot upfront just to use it at acceptable performance levels

#

I suppose the DLSS tech that Nvidia is expanding on is promising, but that has a similar issue to their RTX; which is only certain games have it.

#

It just won't be worth it until there are open source alternatives to both of these things, which there kind of already is with DX12 Ultimate.

#

The API update will facilitate ray tracing pretty much

#

May or may not have something equivalent to DLSS

"Due to size of server-"

late sorrel
#

you can do individual channels

that works instead

#

and itโ€™s probably at 5k

#

the upgraded threadripper is so weird

#

to close to epyc, I don't really get it

fleet canopy
#

I assume RAM amount limit

#

iirc the 3990X is up to around 128GB or 64GB and the TR was up to 192-256GB

dense wasp
#

yeah but now it's 2tb with 3995WX

fleet canopy
#

Wait I forget, isn't the 3990X a TR?

#

Wait yeah I'm bum dum

dense wasp
#

and PCI Express 128 ร— 4.0

fleet canopy
#

But that's kind of the general idea I guess

dense wasp
#

it is!
but they upgraded it even more just now

fleet canopy
#

Ah, TR Pro?

dense wasp
#

ye

fleet canopy
#

The EPYC is a server CPU and the TR being just workstation?

#

Well that's pretty funny, I never imagined a TR using 2TB of RAM

#

Nor have I seen anyone break 1-2TB of RAM with workstation

brisk badger
#

AHHH, my hair ruffles up when I hear the word "enthusiast"

#

tbh i don't know why scientist etc. would use x86-64 architecture. At this pricepoint there is better solutions with RISC, ASICs and even ARMs

clear quartz
#

i dunno man

#

I'm still waiting for Dwave to release home version of their hardware

brisk badger
#

Why would they make a home version?

#

Any program you use or know would not work. Total different instruction sets

clear quartz
#

i would totally want one

brisk badger
#

Even if they make the hardware available, software would need to support it which is the biggest difficulty

clear quartz
#

they already have a few software development course going on

#

i haven't skt through them but the idea seems noice enough

#

i honestly would love tojust fiddle with the hardware itself

brisk badger
#

Well it has its purpose and for that its great. It will not get a "mainstream" instruction set like x86 because... 1001 reasons

#

Maybe you can one in some years

#

*buy

clear quartz
#

all honest it just feels like 1940s of compueters all over again

brisk badger
#

Its exciting to hear news from cpus that are not only x86-64 and maybe we can move away from it one day but idk if that ever going to happen

rugged shuttle
#

considering that proprietary software is the norm it'll be a long time before we could move away from x86

brisk badger
#

Long time ago we all should use IPv6 yet a majority of traffic is still at IPv4. Its going to be a huge problem in the future

#

Yea also these cpu have such a specialized instruction set, they may calculate pi in seconds but take 20min to open a word file

rugged shuttle
#

you can get a power9 workstation right now, but there is very little support outside the open-source world

#

nvidia gpus wont even work outside of cuda

brisk badger
#

I really hope the RISC architecture would replaxe x86 but i dont know enough about

rugged shuttle
#

risc isn't an arch dude

brisk badger
#

And as long as something cannot run x86 code with little performance loss we stick to x86

rugged shuttle
#

the trick is to not run x86 binaries

brisk badger
#

Risc is an instruction set like x86 is

#

I may used the wrong words

rugged shuttle
#

risc just means reduced instruction set computer

#

there are many isas that are "risc"

#

arm, power, risc-v

brisk badger
#

Okay then its risc-v ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

I am on mobile and tried shorten the words
