y'all do stealth with randos?
Literally any stealth mission
I would prefer by self, but randoms are always good for the kind of harder stealth
are there more guards with more players?
Stealth in Payday isn't my favorite
Nope
Like Meth lab stealth ๐ only solo
I just hated some of the decisions around pagers
I liked everyone only being able to answer 1 pager
Or the full "non" stealthable heist
I also like the silent assassin concept
farming rat labs on when overkill was the second hardest
But clearly, most levels arent designed with that in mind
Silent Assassin is just like
silent assassin feels kinda cheap the way it was implemented
True, but it'd be more sensible than just having to answer pagers every goddamn kill tbh
you can't really ballance it tho
I liked the concept, not the execution
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
Only balancing you could do would be in level design
i thought you had only 3 pagers per stealth mission
4
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
Payday 2 is unoptimized as balls
Even though it really really could use optimization
payday 2 is made on a car engine
Like fr it looks like you could run it 100FPS no problem on a shitbox
It runs fairly well these days
Depends on the map
Even despite it being a car engine, they can't do driving too well
I get 100+ fps on 3440x1440 with literally thousands of bodies piled up around me
Although driving isn't too bad
Driving is pretty fucky tho
Yaeh
Particularly on low spwc computers
It's weird and wonky
I know the engine was made for car games, but largely the engine was barely used for those kinds of games
I legitimately couldnt finish the car shop on deathwish
Like it was used in a Ghost Recon game
what engine is it?
diesel
Diesel
oh
Payday 2 uses a updated iteration Diesel 2
Because due to laptops specs, the car wouldnt travel fast enough to get to the escape in time
Why would laptop specs not allow your car go vroom?
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
what laptop specs tho?
I3 3217u with 4 gb ram
ovkl actually had to patch this so ppl wouldn't host on a low spec pc to mess with the ai
oof
I miss the old riot shield glitch tho
lol
Where they would automatically face away from you after sprinting
what glitch?
It was neat
lol
Oh?
lol
I thought you meant using the shield as cover
So they would sprint up to you, then turn around and line the back kf their skull up with your gun
ik you're biased cause you bought the game but would you recommend gtfo?
Not biased
GTFO is okay if you're into that sort of stealth with teamwork
^
^^
I bought it so 
I don't have friends tho
You get severely disadvantaged for having less players
friends who would spend the 30 bucks anyway
dearhly disadvantaged
LFG exists
I think its a bit of a niche game
And at that price
I cant make a general recommendation to buy it
Same
It seems too much for what the game offers
At least maybe now for the moment
welp, the best that came out of this was the payday 2 discussion
Its a bunch of snapmap style levels
still trying to find something from the steam sale
And it might take you hours to do some levels
Mostly because trial and error
So you get bored fairly quickly
My buddy told me that for this run down, it took him 15 hours of attempts to beat D1
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
My recommendation is always dungeon siege 1 and 2
I picked up a handfull of games already
Goes for like 3 bucks nz each
Fuck dungeon siege 3 tho
Square enix ruining franchises because they can
Sounds about right
Just Cause 3 ๐
Sounds like modern game companies 
I got bored of Just Cause 3 after finishing the first section of the game
Like, dungeon siefe 1 and 2, gas powered games
But I got the deluxe edition for like 6 bucks so 
3 was obsidian by contract with square enix
And i had a talk with a guy from obsidian a few years back
Obsidian just gets shafted by the publishers they work with
Basically asked him why obsidian could make fantastic games like fallout new vegas
JC3 got way fucking boring after the whole campaign was over
And ruin games like dungeon siege 3 and kotor 2
New Vegas was an amazing success considering they only had 18 months
His answer was literally publishers
But they still got shafted cause of 1 point on metacritic
Square enix wanted dungeon siege 3 to be more console and microtransaction friendly
I guess publishers are the big reason to how good a game is
new vegas was the only fallout I enjoyed
new vegas is my fav 3d fallout game
And lucas arts apparently had a project canceled, and they wanted something to release for the christmas period
Fallout 2 will always be my personal favorite
fallout 3 and 4 are subpar
So they moved kotor 2 up by nearly a year
first kotor was great
I've never really got into Fallout too much
top tier rpg
Kotor was was god tier
Kotor 2 just felt dead inside
Literally a husk of a game
any recommendations besides rpgs?
had my eyes on that but again, no friends
ik you can play solo but would you?
Sure
Sea of thieves
@restive garnet not on sale tho
Rust, borderlands, oblivion
any recommendations besides rpgs?
@balmy knoll deoends on what type if game you like
roguelikes, fps games and some strategy games
Dead island for some zombie slaying
I guess Civilization V is neat for you maybe
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
any fromsoft game?
Might enjoy project zomboid as well
dying light?
Risk of Rain 2 was too generous with the hopoo deal
Dying Light I could recommend
Bioshock infinite
half off on launch day
Same thing for me though, boring after you're done
But the DLC campaigns are something to look at
Dying light is harder to get in to compared to dead island
I beat the following, thought the endings were shit and never touched it again
It's okay if you like the multiplayer
Spore is another great game
i love to run around parkouring
Metro
You mean Penis Evolution Game?
Dusk
Dusk I can recommend if you love the 90s game
Fable
Dusk is for the classic fps connoisseur
Though I think if you enjoyed Doom 2016, Dusk would be right up your alley
fable game was great
Bear in mind the most recent thief game is another square enix shitshow tho
i wish we had a 3rd fable game
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
I agree
I to wish to refuse to acknowledge its existence
Fair enough
i miss the old AC games
is how intuitive would you say is thief?
I miss Skate 2/3
Oh come now we have AC Valhalla.
seems interesting but I tried to play deus ex and it was a bust for me
Thief is a pretty neat game, boring after done with campaign
Fairly straightforward, pfft
Assassin creed 2 and brotherhood were the best ones
Couldn't get past one part of the tutorial
Lmfaooo
Because tbh it was vague as fuck at that point
Thief is a pretty neat game, boring after done with campaign
I am way too spoiled from rogue-likes
Terraria
If you want realism get Thief Simulator 
shadowrun
Dishonored is what thief should have been
Terraria is pretty cool
Dishonored is great
fucking love the 1rst dishonored
More in depth than I expected actually
Terraria already kicked my ass with master mode
2 got pretty meh rather quick
I liked the whole idea of Killing = Bad ending
I think Expert is hard enough for me 
I never beat Terraria lol
I liked the whole idea of Killing = Bad ending
@fleet canopy not if you get the sandificatin skill
I haven't beaten it yet either
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
revengeance was way more enjoyable for me than master mode
Metal Gear Rising?
Revemgeance?
modded terraria
Ah
calamity
Oh okay 
I really have to try the Terraria modded stuff
I hated being sheperded into certain endings
Never touched them
a lot of references to mgs revengeance in the mod
Its MGR, but yeah that makes sense then
oops yea
there's quite the strategy in dark souls games
I dont mind 'X persons fate dictates ending', but i hate the you killed to many people sort of thing
Bed of Chaos, pinnacle of strategy 
Hm.
lol
@fleet canopy calamity and thorium are the bread and butter of modded terraria
World at War ๐
you should try them
oh, digimon story hackers memories
hackers memories has god tier storytelling if you ask me
like calamity is only like halfway done when u beat moon lord
7 days to die is fantastic
Uh...
Even if optimization leaves a lot to be desired
heat signature,anyone?
felt like gunpoint tbh
you get the loop halfway trough, have fun for a few more levels and then it's a slog
true
The witcher
oof
the witcher and ds have been sitting on the backburner for like 3 months for me
the first witcher is kinda painful to play tbh
not really
Curse the family share having ended
Homefront the revolution is a fun game, if you get jt cheap
Oh yeah
The ai is mediocre at best
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
Original Homefront multiplayer still is going on if it still is to this day
Id happily recommend it on sale
id recommend monster hunter
the best/worst thing that happened this sale is that titanfall 2 is filled with newbs
Titanfall 2 is fun
I spent all the little uhh
Makes mech piloting that much more baller
I feel dread when I see "tracked by a pilot" on the bottom of my screen
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
titanfall 2 is so such a great fps
If you dont mind origin stuff, mirrors edge is fun
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
lol I remember when I bought titanfall 2 on origin and the deluxe edition was like 5 euros cheaper than the normal one
people actually have to unlock titans
I'd actually half hesrtly recommend battlefront 2 (2017)
Honestly, i bought titanfall 2 for 40 bucks
Must be from my buying spree of the ingame money thing
Spent 20 hours playing the campaign
i got the 5 euro sale
Felt like i got my moneys worth
The campaign is great
deluxe edition for 10 euros was lit
oh yeaj
Oh actually I didn't know it was a game with a campaign, maybe I would have gotten it then
Every so often i jump on and do the fire from the sky mission
titanfall 1 didn't have a campaign
I thought it was a purely multiplayer shooter
they had the brilliant idea of integrating the campaign into multiplayer
Because its just a pure mission of mech carnage
tbh i feel fallen order is a very meh game
i wouldn't recommend it
I mainly just play PvP
same
I mainly just play PvP
idk with the steam wave but before the queue for pvp was longer than the match itself
best star wars light saber combat
Starwars jedi knight academy
@restive garnet
if u play ion you gotta play at range and spam laser shot
^
I just found i was burnjng my energy so quickly
your core is one of the best so try to get that
don't use split shot
it's terribly inefficient
Triple tap anti titan laser and then be useless for the next 15 seconds
Which is where i liked tone
it's better to laser shot 2 times and then go with normal fire
if i do hate 1 things about pvp its the kraber campers
ppl actually camp with kraber?
lol yeah
y'all didn't hear about a thing called spitfire + amp wall
hate that too
most ppl who use kraber are gen 20 sweats who cannot find enjoyment in using car and going smooth brain mode
I mainly like using the gun that looks like it's a mix of an AK an an FN FAL
flatline?
Yeah
?
i haven't used it much
the flatline is great in apex
The side recoil is pretty fucking hard
Well not too hard
But it's a bit of a pain
i do love it on apex
They nerfed the hell out of the damage last time i played
Still imo a good gun for damage
the side recoil can either just cancel itself out or just screw you over in titanfall
It was basically the same damage as the r301
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
I stopped playing a few months after launch
hmmm if I'm not mistaken it does 18 gamage
20 now
So it probably hadnt been buffed by then
hemlock is 22
the dps is pretty much identical to r301
While the 301 is more accurate and has a larger magazine
the recoil is higher but it's less dependent on attachments
nope
flatline has 30 max, r301 only 28
wasnt flatline a bit higher than r301?
i do hate the G7 iron sights in apex
Base damage when i played for 301 was 14, 16 on flatline
But the 301 was generally better all around
the 301 is still better if it's fully kitted
but a white 301 vs a white flatline would lose
Depends on usage
dps race with decent accuracy
301 can maintain a higher accuracy at range than flatline
I have played since launch week and I don't remember it ever having 33
Also, throwback to mozambiques
i already forgotten about few months post lauch
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
I liked the faster pace, i just hated how weird time to kill felt for such a fast paced game
the ttk is what makes it special than other br games
time to kill
it takes like a whole second to kill someone
If you are landing shots
And that was where i struggled
apex ttk makes it great as you dont get snipped out of fucking nowhere
Everyones zooming around so im missing most of my shots
Only gun i was consitent with was peacekeeper and spitfire
apex snipers have been nerfed a lot
oh yeaj
they made sniper attachments and ammo exclusive from other guns
That being said, i enjoyed the prowler and longbow/scout
you have no reason to pick up a sniper if it isn't a kraber or you have an evo
i miss when the long bow was heavy type
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
i played one month aftwr launch then took a break and returned mid seasom 2
I tried Apex Legends
Didn't like it so much
The fact you're forced to play with 2 other people is just dumb
now you're only forced to play with 1 other guy
lol
they added duos
permanent dous
I wouldn't play it still anyways
my friends GTX780 laptop keeps crashing while playing GTFO is there a fix?
lol I just realised we're in tech talk
Meh
this server probably needs more general channels
getting a new laptoo?
lol as much i want him
Laptops are stupid expensive
Buy computer parts and build them ๐
Unless you land a nice deal on a very good laptop
he is using a laptop passed on by his older brother
lol
and yes laptop are too expensive
has he tried launching everything on low?
my friends GTX780 laptop keeps crashing while playing GTFO is there a fix?
@fresh breach 780 or 780M? Big difference
Any recommendations on how to fix stuttering within Yakuza 0?
getting more ram?
I have 32 GB.
drivers up to date?
Yes.
Change fullscreenmode
Look for common stutter problems and fix
They may just be something with the game sometimes
It's on borderless right now.
Put it on fullscreen, sry for super late answer
When you pay $1100 for a 10900K https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-JqbfaObyk
lol
Shintel
Sucks that prices are going bum for about so many things
Except AMD cpus and RAM
Do you have 2 gpus?
@torn ferry
If you have more than 1 graphics card in sli it will cause the game to stutter
The game is too light
He only has a single 2080
Rip so it's not that
I guess Yakuza 0 isn't the most stable game
Because it could still just be the game itself
Or his CPU isn't doing too well/too much work
Optimization
Lol yeah Reddit already fixed it
The stutter
Looks like he has to set the exe's priority to high
I tried looking in task manager for priority options, but there are none.
Find it in Details tab, not Processes.
This is Just with my boot SSD in, Ive tried a bunch of shit with no working fixes, and the only support Iโve 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 thereโs an issue there, just taking forever
Yea
this a fresh build or an already functioning build with a new issue?
A functioning build that the issue popped up out of nowhere
^
Thing is, I can still get into BIOS perfectly fine
Getting past BIOS then this comes up
motherboard?
MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150
ok.
Iโm exhausting all my options before deciding itโs dead
Because I have no fucking money to get new shit
To old
played with boot option?
Yep
Iโm waiting on two people to help, if they canโt Iโm going to resume my extreme depression cry session
But hey... I have PC parts for sale now
Yes
Iโm just fucked
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
before entering bios is there a button you can press to enter boot menu or something of that sort?
No
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
ok super interested in the game but worried about performance
i7-4790 16gb RAM GTX1650 Super and running from SSD
It'll run
I know what the system requirements say on steam but i know early access is subject to change
It's supposed to be designed to run smooth from mid end PCs from like 2015
So it should be able to do 60FPS on 1080p
3070ti rumours have me like 
potentially the same performance as the current 2080S (possibly 2080ti) with better raytracing. And, of course, at a cheaper cost.
Neat
If those rumours are true, then I may just get one of those and not worry about a 3080. Lord knows I'd love to spend less than what I have budgeted.
kek
Should also keep an eye on AMD as well, they might offer some really good choices tbf
Significantly less info about Big Navi
where muh leaks at
Nowhere
Significantly less info about Big Navi
@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.
The leaks are leaking into the trash can
TBF, the higher end AMD cards have often times been sparse on details
Their lower and mid end cards have significantly more information leakage
I mean, it'd make fair sense for lower end specs to be more leaked
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.
I don't think bigger makes it better 
Maybe more fans, sure
But bigger seems unnecessary
But they are having to make the tech smaller to fit on the gpus... so the gpu size standard is definitely a limiter.
i7-4790 16gb RAM GTX1650 Super and running from SSD
ok so FYI this can't hit 60fps on medium settings
am i doing something wrong fellas
Hm, what resolution?
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).
@pure flint
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?
I do have more vram tho
I can't wait for 3000 series to turn into mining cards and skyrocket the prices
1060 is a good deal stronger than 1650
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
i dont like the frame lag, but yeah, you might get better luck with increasing prerendered frames.
So I fixed it... itโs literally windows 10 being windows 10 and saying โIโll just say fuck yo hand corrupt myself nowโ... itโs fixed with a new install
Thats windows for you.
Always good to disconnect drives and boot linux on a flash for shit like that
Gratz on avoiding terminal despair.
Sent another RMA ticket to ASUS, if they ain't budging it then I have to contact the ASUS rep from my store
I'm getting my (2nd) monitor tomorrow. I sent the first one back because it had a dead pixel.
just 1 dead pixel?
It was windows corrupting itself, new installer with odd ass BIOS and itโs working
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
Probably Amazon does it fine, or something
Even food?
Then you don't use it for everything. Kekw
lol
Lol
lel
so, i just learned that my laptop mic sounds like garbage in discord, there's too much echo and lows are way above the limit. what can i do about it except buying a new mic?
@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 also can suggest some cheap headsets with good audio-quality (around 30$) Mine was only 20โฌ and has very good built and sounds quality, specially for this price
what headset are you using?
Give me a second and i will give you the precise name :'D
"STOGA COOL 2000"
i bought it on amazon, unfortunate it says "not available" for me
lol imagine having a keyboard for a week only for it to have the spacebar thing fucking break off so easy 
F
Back to my G710 now
G413
I liked the design, didn't like how the switches are unique and not Cherry MX
The keyswitch?
Oh that
I guess that part is nice, but I don't really like the design too much
I'm surprised it's supposed to be low profile, considering what it is
hmm
I like the smaller and more simpler design
Ah yeah
Makes sense
In a review, reviewer says he dislike font
Font is ugly
And it does
Looks like they stretched it pretty much
Doesn't matter I guess, but it's funny noting that
kek
I used to have a corsair at first
Then went to Logitech
I was deciding to get a corsair next though lmfao
M or K?
Wow, Amazon has failed me again.
Oh?
I bought the AOC 24G2 from them, the first one had a few dead pixels, so I returned it and bought another one (as soon as it restocked). The 2nd one has one dead pixel and what looks like a huge gash on side of the screen.
I'm glad I don't pay for shipping. ๐ฉ
lmfao
This is the gash.
The gash
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.
I can still return it.
Oh?
The whole ordeal is to get a version of the monitor without any dead pixels or other panel-related defects.
how many returns so far?
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.
NVIDIA's testing of freesync compactible is a joke
I should start monitor lottery, all monitors guaranteed to have no dead pixels for 2x the price
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.
lol true, i just checked a 10700K on silicon lottery, and it cheaper than on amazon
RIP
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
We don't know if the adaptive sync modules they use are configured any different from other monitors.
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?
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
Well... technically there is.
Freesync 2/Freesync Premium.
But it's shit from what I've heard.
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
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?
They improved drivers on the 5000 series a lot and it's pretty damn good
The only thing that'll convince me to go AMD is if they have a substantial performance boost over the next Nvidia cards.
Haven't heard a complaint about the 5000 series in a while
nazo: what if they have the best value card?
nearly as good as competition but for way less
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
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.
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 ๐
And better yet, fucking 300$ less
lmao
At least from this list
I assume it's much more
Well yeah twice the amount of Vram and a shit ton more bandwidth
Of course it'll be more expensive
I'm surprised the 2070 Super is above the 1080 Ti though
Well that makes sense cause of drivers
At least it has 16GB VRAM
16GB of VRAM unlike every xx80 Ti release from 980 Ti to now
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
Don't think that'd apply to apple though ๐
Also Paul from not an apple fan is going in on a gamble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyQQ-iXklB4
Betting on Big Navi what a guy 
He's a fan of a good deal, he'll shit on AMD if they make similar business decisions like Intel
Which he has
Oh no, is he indian??? There's a video titled "How Nvidias Marketing Is Gearing Up To Rob You And the Rtx 3070 Will Be There Weapon!"
Uh no he's Irish 
Indian*
How NVIDIA Marketing Is Gearing Up To Rob You And the Rtx RTX 3070 Will Be There Their Weapon
:)
Hehehe yeah well he's fucked up spelling in titles pretty often
But I'm curious
Just what makes the 3070 a weapon for robbery
Robbing bitcoin, perhaps
CPU Hierarchy for gamers*
The first list? 10900K
Gaming Score? No percentage
Just 100
10000% ๐
How the fuck is the 9900KS an 1800$ CPU now?
I knew it increased in price
But not by a whole 1300$
No point in even considering that as a proper price
What is the 9900KS? I know it is Intel, right?
It's a 9900K basically
Yeah its a higher binned i9 9900K
You know for 15% more money
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
Oh okay so 9700 is a ninth generation i7?
Yes
Right
That makes sense
That describes the numbering schemes perfectly
They're arbitrary and only make sense in the vacuum of the products they're selling 
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.
I could get a second one, and I am considering it eventually
I still have 4 lanes left on the chipset so 
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
my mobo supports 3 ๐
My OS disk
So write is a bit slower, I didn't gain on read, which is fine
I think my CPU might be capping it tbh
Yeah it should say if its NVME on its label, though the other tell is if it has a single notch for its contacts
NVME has one small gap in the slot part, SATA M.2 has two gaps
Yeah that's an NVME drive
Samsung obviously has NVME lel
its performance speeds can reach up to 5000 MB/s (read) and 4400 MB/s (write) when using a PCIe Gen4 motherboard
https://www.sabrent.com/product/SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-2TB/2tb-rocket-nvme-pcie-4-0-m-2-2280-internal-ssd-maximum-performance-solid-state-drive/
Well yeah I doubt Samsung makes Sata M.2s
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
This is on the threadripper system?
I didn't go with a threadripper
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
Is there a way to test USB speed/bandwidth?
My Elgato HD60s occasionally drops frames, regardless of the recording software I use.
It's running on USB and not PCIe?
USB 3.0.
Are you running it through something like OBS?
I usually use OBS for streaming and occasional recording, but I mainly use the Elgato software for recording.
Ah are the frame drops apparent in the recording, or just while recording?
Both in the preview and while recording.
Well I mean like if you were to export the recording
If you mean when I watch the recorded video file, yes, the frame drops are still noticeable.
Have you tried recording via OBS, if there are framedrops using that
Yeah, I've tried recording with OBS and the frame drops are still there.
(Also, it's not the games I'm recording.)
Okay, so Usb 3.0; presumably using the appropriate bandwidth cable and its plugged in via at least a 3.0 port
Yep.
I'm not sure if it would be because of USB bandwidth
tried a diff usb port, usb cable?
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
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.
keep in mind, if you dont plug usb 3 in fast enough, it will register as USB 2 until replugged
can be a problem for tight ports.
never heard of that clay
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
When do you have to plug it in? Fast enough for what?
its not talked about often, but can be easily observed.
So, would that matter, clay, after a reboot.
if its properly plugged in, on reboot it should register as 3.
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.
I guess I got no reactions from my shitty photography :(
It is very out of focus.
Ye, could do with a better image tbf
^
I'll go back into the corner and cry ;-;
Just stabilise your hand a bit better, and that should solve it, I believe.
I'll take one much better tomorrow anyways since I'm going to sleep now, once it's in my set up and flex on you weaklings for my own evil and destructive enjoyment when I take the next photo.
oz: reminded me of a light show
When I check with USB Tree Viewer, it shows this, but I don't know why it says "High-Speed" instead of "Super Speed" when it says "Super Speed" in Connection Information V2:
Yeah. Might appeal to some.
RGB makes your pc 10x faster ;)
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
nazo: maybe you can plug your phone in with some app that analyzes the port
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.
Hence, reboot
glad to see im not crazy, at least mostly.
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.
Is there a way to check the bandwidth of the PCH?
Motherboard specifics
What would the ideal amperage be for USB 3.0?
There's simply a max, and sometimes it has a fuse across several USB connectors that is shared.
my soul
I tried doing some peel porn and it didn't work out. ๐
You didn't fasten the side panel?
I thought I did, it wasn't in properly.
On a second note
thats a pretty GPU
It's a great looking one.
Wrong server sorry
@digital pawn Please don't post videos unrelated to the channel topic.
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. ๐คฃ
Sounds good, I'll look into it, thanks for recommending ๐
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 Iโd say @abstract kite ๐
Higher Cull = CPU works more, GPU works less
Lower Cull = GPU works more, CPU works less
Smaller in what way?
Though interesting thought
"An unknown GPU from Nvidia, believed to be the GeForce RTX 3080, scored an impressive 18,257 in 3D Mark Time Spy tests"
Clearly its smaller cause they can do with the smaller node
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"
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
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?
It should but not by a large margin
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
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
imagine coding on a netbook
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
I have to wonder at what threshold Discord tells you this.
"Due to size of server-"
you can do individual channels
that works instead
and itโs probably at 5k
considering thatโs the default presence one can have without messaging discord admins

I assume RAM amount limit
iirc the 3990X is up to around 128GB or 64GB and the TR was up to 192-256GB
yeah but now it's 2tb with 3995WX
and PCI Express 128 ร 4.0
But that's kind of the general idea I guess
Ah, TR Pro?
ye
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
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
Why would they make a home version?
Any program you use or know would not work. Total different instruction sets
i would totally want one
Even if they make the hardware available, software would need to support it which is the biggest difficulty
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
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
all honest it just feels like 1940s of compueters all over again
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
considering that proprietary software is the norm it'll be a long time before we could move away from x86
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
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
I really hope the RISC architecture would replaxe x86 but i dont know enough about
risc isn't an arch dude
And as long as something cannot run x86 code with little performance loss we stick to x86
the trick is to not run x86 binaries
