Ive got a 970 and about 75 fps on minimum

abstract kite
#

i7 4790k 1080 150fps~

plain chasm
#

the game isnt that big and hardware killer tho

fleet canopy
#

There are people telling here that GTFO runs like 60FPS or whatever or even 15FPS still on a 3090

#

So idk

#

This game is on crack

#

And the settings from experience are shit useless

toxic pawn
#

Yeap i meant gtfo

fleet canopy
#

And not geforce experience

#

By experience using GTFO yes

toxic pawn
abstract kite
#

not 15fps tho

#

I have a 3090 asus rogstrix and a ryzen 9 5950x and at best I have 100fps

#

and that's at best

#

if there are no enemies etc

fleet canopy
#

I remember someone saying that but idk what it was exactly lol

abstract kite
#

On b1 where u first encounter the flying enemies I get 70 fps

fleet canopy
#

The game is so weird as fuck honestly

abstract kite
#

not weird just trash optimisation

fleet canopy
#

Yeah the optimization sure

#

Although resolution exist

#

But I still can't quite tell most times

abstract kite
#

I also have a 5120x1440 resolution

#

240hz

#

but on rust I have over 100 fps

#

and that game is more demanding

fleet canopy
#

How much over?

abstract kite
#

120 stable

#

and no sudden fps drops

#

like on that b1 thing

void perch
#

We'll be doing optimizations as well

fleet canopy
#

Soon™️

abstract kite
#

not a problem for me tho still it's over 60fps

#

and it doesn't lag at least

bright shard
#

although if anyone else is as much of a lunatic as i am

#

if you're playing on linux

#

and you havent configured gamemode, i reccomend doing so.

#

easily brought me up 15 or so fps.

viral geode
#

So I've been having issues with playing. I load into a lobby and ready up then when they start the game everyone else goes and I'm stuck in the lobby. I've got double NAT though so that could be an issue

#

Also the door to zone 78B in A1 has an issue where for some players it will be stuck closed and be unable to be interacted with. Had it happen last night playing solo.

fleet canopy
#

Another day where my pc has crashed due to the side panel falling off then somehow fucking crashing the pc

#

I wish I had a new case Poddog

fleet canopy
#

So I can get it to bios but no windows boot so

bright shard
#

cases man

#

i would like to have a word with both the people who design, want, and buy these dogshit cases

fleet canopy
#

Literally missing some screws to hold the jackass side panels on

bright shard
#

"did you design this case"
"yes"
"fuck you"

fleet canopy
#

So it just falls off from whatever happens

#

Carbide spec 03 series Corsair name can’t remember

#

Not the worst case so eh

#

But it’s the only case and the first case I had since I got my first pc for gaming so

#

Aside from psu, all parts have changed so lol

bright shard
#

if it was me, i would 3d print some bullshit to keep the panels on

fleet canopy
#

Lol

#

Well I don’t have a 3D printer and I suck ass at 3D printing

bright shard
#

can you break out the zipties?

fleet canopy
#

Don’t think I have any

bright shard
#

are you in the 3rd world?

fleet canopy
#

If America is a third world country, then yeah

viral geode
#

It's close if you go to any Northeastern city

bright shard
#

fuck connecticut

#

also fuck new jersey

fleet canopy
#

Hey, that’s where I live 3sSenkoCool

#

Connecticut that is

bright shard
#

we should meet up and touch butts

fleet canopy
#

I can’t tell if it’s cigarette butts or ass

#

I’ll pick the ass option

bright shard
#

i wanted to go clean cigarette butts in hartford alleys

fleet canopy
#

Good enough

torn ferry
#

Corsair 280X is a decent case but there are some oversights in my opinion.

#

Like, you can add bottom fans, but unless you have an extension cable, the USB 3.0 cable will be in the way of everything.

bright shard
#

just spend the couple bucks

torn ferry
#

And the top glass panel thing too.

bright shard
#

the top panel is quite dumb

torn ferry
#

My temperatures are 15 degrees better with the panel removed.

#

Some people also decided to make their own panel that promotes airflow.

fleet canopy
#

Top panel is more than stupid tbh

#

Why does someone need glass on top

#

Anyway the PC works fine now lolers

#

Usually it happens, I restart PC, works right away or in a couple minutes

#

This time it didn't really turn on until I came back from shopping just now so

fleet canopy
#

So now it crashes

cinder crypt
#

yea i agree my top panel is plastic which is good for air coolers in my case but if i wanted to do a aio i would want to replace that top panel with a mesh one i wish it came with mesh and the plastic one

#

the more expensive version still has a plastic version or it might be glass but the front panel comes with both a mesh or a glass option but still no mesh top which is stupid

fleet canopy
#

Lol

shut marten
#

Running A1 and I noticed a drop down to ~30fps when we got past the first alarm door
Any way to lessen that?
Specific graphic settings to turn down?
Or is it just my dogshit GPU xd

shut marten
#

1060 3gb

cinder crypt
#

hmmmm might be your gpu

#

what settings you running i wouldnt have alot of stuff turned up

royal plank
#

It keeps canceling my matchmaking and hosting lobbies attempt?

fleet canopy
shy rover
#

Can I run the game fairly well with a 1060 6gb and i5-10600k

#

Noticed some stutters starting up the game

royal plank
trim breach
#

why do you need to have any tempered glass or something

#

just remove it and get free airflow

cinder crypt
#

yes but dust can accumulate and shit can crawl into your pc much easier like mice and stuff if you have mice

trim breach
#

true

#

unless you clean it every 6 months

#

temps are just better

bright shard
#

side panels are needed to maintain static pressure

#

without a side panel, you might as well get an open air case

#

dust filters on a case without a side panel are pretty worthless

cinder crypt
#

also that if you have a good negative or positive or neutral pressure case with good airflow there shouldnt be a temp problem like mine is based on positive air pressure and highest ive seen it get is like 69 to 76c but that was under a stress test for a 5800x cpu

#

i have a 2070 and the highest its got was like 69 c

#

so if you have a good case designed to have good airflow and made for air or aio cooler you shouldn't need to take any panels off or replace them

#

i went with air cooling for my case cause of the way it was designed

red lynx
#

Can you run gtfo on a gaming laptop?

young summit
#

Would you guys happen to know why randomly in a session of GTFO my PC will shut down? I’m running a 3090, 5800x amd, with an 800w PSU.

edgy crest
#

cooling?

#

sounds like the pc is overheating, bc those parts are intense on the heat. And GTFO isn't exacltly a chill game on specs

hasty prawn
#

@young summit what cooler do you have ? How big is your case what's your fan setup did you build the pc or is it a pre build ?

rich oar
#

GTFO is pretty chill, limit the frame rate to just under your monitor refresh rate. This will prevent temp spikes as you get 999 fps in menus

Hi all. I have extremely low fps (less than 10) on i7-6700k, 32GB RAM, RTX3060. In afterburner I can see that GPU load is so low, that video card does not even raise frequencies. CPU load is ~20%. Perfomance profile is enabled in Windows. Reinstalled nvidia drivers using DDU. Integrated GPU is disabled in BIOS. Nothing helps. Do you have any idea what it could be and how to fix it?

viral geode
#

@atomic stump

viral geode
#

Delete this file and should help. That's whats helped everyone else

#

I managed to fix my problems just by deleting all that preloaded Asus bullshit

#

Ah

#

abstract kite
#

Any suggestions for a psu? Mine isnt putting out clean power under load and it took me weeks of crashing to finally get motivated enough to diagnose.

abstract kite
#

EVGA is a great brand.

#

Alright, any others if that isnt in stock?

#

ASUS is also good.

#

Antec would be my next go to if both of those are bleh

#

Alright. Thank you very much

abstract kite
#

Is it me or the game keeps glitching me time to time

#

Or audio gets cut off later on

abstract kite
#

I'm new to PC gaming, will a AMD Ryzen 5600x work with this game?? I've got a 3070 so I assume that's good enough as a gpu just wondering if the 5600x is too

#

Yes

#

100%

#

Sweet

rose stirrup
#

Would an AMD Radeon RX 6600XT be able to run the game adequately? I understand it's one of the more mid tier cards but wanting to go team red

abstract kite
#

I haven't tested it myself, but I would assume you could run this very well given the fact this game can run at 30-40fps on some very low end cards

#

A friend of mine has a 6900XT, he claims it runs GTFO flawlessly and when playing with him he never complained.

#

So I think you're good with the 6600XT

bright shard
#

I second that. I play with a 970 and its generally fine

Awesome awesome, thanks guys

hot hill
#

How much money in € will I need for a computer that runs all the latest games including a screen, keyboard and mouse?

#

More or less?

snow leaf
#

alot with current gpu market

#

atleast 1.5k

hot hill
#

And on average? 2000€?

#

Or more towards 3?

snow leaf
#

for 2 and 3 you can get really good ones

#

it really depends on what peripherals you get

#

wheter or not you wanna spend much on a good screen keyboard and mouse

#

gpu is the main thing nowadays, really expensive

#

my advice would be, look up what games you wanna play, and how different gpus perform in them

#

then you can decide wheter or not for example 60fps is enough for you in a current game, if you want more etc

#

and the build the PC around the gpu

fleet canopy
#

Well, if you’re looking to play 1080p on 60FPS or 144FPS, you’re fine getting one of the 6600XT or a 3060, latest low end to come out that’ll definitely play any games

#

If it’s 1440p 144Hz, maybe you’ll have to look a for something more, but even a 3060 is great on 1440p 144hz anyway

rich oar
#

3060s and 6600s are not low end gpus lol they will play anything on the market with no issue whatsoever at 1080/1440p. dont fall for the twisted marketing. supply has been strained for 2 years so the price is high on any gpu

fathom plank
#

Guys, anyone had any problems with gtfo and bsod or mostly just complete pc restart during the expedition drop loading animations?

fleet canopy
#

6600s and 3060s aren’t exactly the highest on the tier list as well

#

There is a 3050 Ti iirc, lowest for nvidias RTX 3000

#

Or a 3050 idk

#

@ocean ivy whats the usual time for dropping in rundowns?

#

i got 48-60 fps but at times it drops at like 16 etc unstable

#

i think reinstall is the last option since i still get stuck on the drop

orchid dagger
#

@ocean ivy reinstalled and everything still the same i get forever stuck at drop and then it goes program not responding

hello, my pc has 1050ti, 12 GB ram and i5 3340 (I know my build is bad/old, cant afford a new pc) I have been playing on half texture size and everything medium and i still get stutters sometimes when there are a lot of enemies coming, should i reduce it to quarter or reduce something else or let it stay like this

bright shard
#

Try changing other settings first

#

I lowered the fog detail and literally couldn't notice

#

Gave me a good bit of frames back

kind fossil

2080s will play this game fine as well

Ryzen 5 5600x and GTX 970, pre 1.0 met max requirements, now requirements changed and only run @ 20 fps on low everything.

dusky wren
#

Same here on i7 2700K and GTX 970. 12fps when in lobby. Strange fact: was running 1.0 smoothly last week. Need optimizing patch for older hardware please. All settings to low doesn't make a difference. @hallow rock help us!

fleet canopy
#

I heard something about deleting the settings file in the game’s folder, that could help

lusty osprey
#

Tried that yesterday and no difference.

dusky wren
#

Tried verifying game files through steam, re-installing, windowed screen, resolution down to 900p instead of usual 1080. Vsync and AA off, everything on low. No difference

whole hull
#

i usually go from 80-100fps down to 40-50fps, sometimes low 30’s when in the ||outside|| area. any ideas on how to increase frames through settings, like particle density possibly? thanks

void perch
#

right now, that's going to be pretty normal to drop like that as we haven't done a lot of optimization for that area. It's something on our list to do, and optimization overall

The GPU should be able to run the game

#

The CPU idk but it was alright before so

#

Uh oh

#

Extreme tech upgrade go blup

bright shard
#

Pci extension time

harsh phoenix
#

Anyone know like the best settings for fps?

bright shard
#

Set everything to lowest or off

#

If something looks weird bump it up

harsh phoenix
#

I'm running on a 3060 6gb and everything on high gets me around 80-100 but sometimes just drops to the 40s

bright shard
#

Sometimes my fps dies after continously checkpointing

#

Sometimes its the map or area

harsh phoenix
#

its probably cause the game isnt really optimized too well yet

bright shard
#

There was a fps bug that was fixed this morning tho

#

FWIW, everything on high is a waste

#

Can bump some down to raise others or gain fps

fleet canopy
#

Unless you don't care for frames above 60FPS, or you can do high FPS while using high, don't use it

dusky wren
# mint spire TBH I don't think any optimization will help a 10 year old CPU and an almost 8 y...

I see your point, I do. However, so far there hasn’t been a modern game I can’t run after lowering some settings. It would be a shame if gtfo happens to be the first as it’s one of my favourites.

And yes, it was fine in early access and fine at the time 1.0 was released. I can see the stunning visual improvements so I get it. However, see this picture. My system isn’t stressed in any way…

fleet canopy
#

the weird

mint spire
dusky wren
mint spire
#

never know sometimes it does

#

u can also fully uninstall the game and delete all the temp files literally everything, reinstall and sometimes that fixes these kinds of issues

#

could be an older file messing with the new build and they are conflicting

#

when was the last time u used a fresh video driver uninstaller program might want to try that, if its been over 2 years

#

"DDU" is clean video driver uninstaller removes all bloat files, and u have a completely fresh install

#

i use that about every 2 years so its completely fresh, also a lot of people swear by fresh windows installs. (i hate doing that though)

#

if u wanna test something, u can use DSR in geforce settings to push the resolution higher and see if the FPS changes or if utilization changes and its nothing happens then I'm not sure what to do

#

ever since the first patch for gtfo's full release I have been experiencing some really strange behavior from the game, the game runs fine on 144 fps for 99% of the time but every now and then the game freezes completely for a whole second or two

#

It really is annoying is there anything that in that patch that could be causing this?
My system is running a i7 9700k and a gtx 2070 with 16 gigs of ram

trim breach
#

most common issue is the texture loading

#

on what type of drive do you store the game on?

#

Is it me or my HDD is dying out? How can you tell if it’s out of commission?

Usually SMART will tell you if there is an error

dusky wren
#

Technical support gave some options. Will try again soon

river violet
#

And you can run other games with the same type of requirements just fine?

river violet
#

Hmmm that is indeed odd

#

No launch parameters that could be affecting it?

#

Check fps cap

#

Try changing priority of GTFO in task manager

cinder crypt
#

well my pc is broke so im upset

fleet canopy
#

: (

#

How break

cinder crypt
#

it turns on and has a yellow dram light but reseting cmos and putting one ram did not fix it we are going to try his ram and see if it fixes it

#

but if not is most likely the motherboard or cpu

#

cause it wont even post into bios

#

and i did a update that said motherboard in armory crate last night it was not bios update i know that

#

would the power button being stuck in during post do this it was stuck on posting and it turned off during post

#

and i dont remember if anything other then the dram light came on

cinder crypt
#

good news

#

well bad

#

but my ram died

#

not my motherboard

rotund hemlock
#

Does anyone know if PCs running really hot for this game is a common issue or specific to certain systems?

cinder crypt
#

whats the temp

fleet canopy
#

The only temp you should be getting is 70-80 at the most

#

Anything past, you'll have to check in on cooling

#

Hey guys it has been a while

fleet canopy
#

Hello

abstract kite
#

I am having a bit of internet issues related to my Ethernet Connection. I am getting "Unidentified Network". I have tried command prompts, updating drivers, restarting my Computer/Router. Nothing it working... I am not sure what to do.

#

Normally this wouldn't be a problem because I have Wifi, but I need to fix this for a potential job.

abstract kite
abstract kite
#

When did this start happening?

#

What was updated, what was changed beforehand ectra. This issue has a number of things that can cause it.

modern sable
abstract kite
abstract kite
abstract kite
#

Command prompt would have been how you clean the network cache

#

ipconfig /release
ipconfig/renew

modern sable
#

comand prompt run as admin then type ipconfig/release

#

ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/renew

abstract kite
#

Resetting the protocols is
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset

#

I did do the Netsh winsock

#

On a side note, when was the last time you did a virus check?

#

I did it a few days prior to this happening

#

I would run it again, double check. There's a chance some minor malware caused this.

modern sable
#

It could be also a driver issue

abstract kite
#

They did say they reinstalled/updated I recall

modern sable
#

reinstalling network adapter could fix it

abstract kite
#

Let's try the Command Prompt thing.

#

If the virus check comes out bleh

#

If I uninstall this:

#

Wouldnt I lose internet access?

#

Yes.

#

Do you have a hardline?

#

Or a wired connection ready?

#

The Ethernet isnt working all I have is wireless

#

Alright.

#

Let's try the Command Prompt thing.

#

ipconfig /release – release the current IP address
ipconfig /renew – renew the IP address/ Request DHCP for net IP address
ipconfig /flushdns – flush the DNS cache on your Windows PC
ipconfig /registerdns – register the DNS

#

Follow this order and tell us what happens

#

If it doesn't work I can show you how to assign one manually

#

Might also fix it

#

Is that what I put into the prompt? sar_think

#

Yes yes

#

Just copy paste

#

ipconfig/release

#

then the renew

#

then flush

#

then registerdns

#

All in one go?

#

Nope, one at a time.

#

no spaces

#

ipconfig/release

#

if there's no spaces and that's just how it looks then press enter

#

Done

#

Noice

modern sable
#

im wondering if it could be bios related, have you recently updated your mobo bios or changed settings? if the commands dont make a difference try looking in the bios settings

abstract kite
#

^

#

Should I do renew before restarting?

#

Yes

#

then ipconfig/flushdns

#

then ipconfig/registerdns

#

and that should be it

#

I haven't touched my Bios since I built my PC some 3 years ago

#

it auto updates

modern sable
#

alright

abstract kite
#

and sometimes it's very sneaky about when it updates

modern sable
#

auto bios update?

#

does that really happen

abstract kite
#

Aye, my laptop does it.

modern sable
#

its usually always manual cause its a sensitive task

abstract kite
#

If I recall on windows 7 at least, there's an auto setting for it

modern sable
#

screw the update and the mobo is bricked

abstract kite
#

It isnt letting me input more commands

#

Well there is no prompt...

#

press enter

#

Not doing anything

#

Alright, then quit out of it and move to part 2

abstract kite
modern sable
abstract kite
#

Oh shit

#

is it workin

#

Yeah disabling IPv6

modern sable
abstract kite
#

Guys:

abstract kite
modern sable
abstract kite
#

Okay so

#

I see your problem

#

You have too many people on the DHCP

#

It seems

#

IE, too many connected devices to your router

#

So let's try

#

the last 2 things

#

And then we're gonna do something both lewd and magical

#

Hawt

#

We will come to this in a moment

#

uwu it's gonna get sticky

#

Anyway.

#

then ipconfig/flushdns
then ipconfig/registerdns

#

slap them in

#

one at a time~

#

That should be it

#

See if it fixed it

#

Huff.

#

So, the next step after this in my book is to increase the number of DHCP users

#

How to do that

#

which requires you to log into your router/modem and do it manually, following whatever steps are for your respective modem

#

see idk cus ever router is different

#

Uh

#

The thing I linked explains how to do it, kinda.

#

Uhhh

#

I feel like I should call my ISP then xD

#

Maybe you should, that might be a good idea.

modern sable
#

type this into your browser 192.168.0.1

abstract kite
#

Hmmm

modern sable
#

if no passwords were changed you can find it underneath the router its a sticker with passwords

abstract kite
#

Nothing was changed

modern sable
#

you have to be connected with a cable to the router to do that

#

i see why nothing happens i cant see the info underneat default gateway

#

you can usually see the router ip adress there but in your case its blank

#

in that case idk

#

best to just contact isp

abstract kite
#

I didnt paste that link in my browser

modern sable
#

my bad its 4am where im living kinda tired

#

good luck though hope it gets fixed soon

abstract kite
cinder crypt
#

do ram sticks just randomly die or do you think 1 was bad from the start due to my computer randomly freezing and not responding till i restarted it

#

sometimes

#

it took like 3 months for it to die

abstract kite
#

I mean if you have the money, go for it, but I'm still certain this issue is something else

#

Then what can we do it @abstract kite?

next hawk
#

remove devices from the network then try connecting?

abstract kite
#

Id say honestly figure, based on your router, how to increase the DHCP

#

Because based on what was seen from the Command Prompt screenshot, it looks to be you hit the cap

recently i installed manjaro (linux distro) and im having trouble running this game above 35 fps, i get that this game isnt native to linux but what settings have the most/least impact on performance?
Specs-
Nvidia 2060
16GB Ram
AMD Ryzen 2700x

#

sorry if this is the wrong chat, i wasnt sure whether to post that here or tech support for gtfo

200 of my 900 hours at this point have been on ubuntu

generally around 75 fps

placid fable
#

does your fps dip to almost unplayable when in the desert sections?

placid fable
bright shard
#

you should probably be getting more tbh

#

we can always hop into a vc and we can discuss settings and tweaks or what not

placid fable
#

oh, not now, im going to sleep soon as its almost 2am lol

bright shard
#

oh, in that case

#

take a look at Gamemode when you wake up.

got me a good bit of more fps

I play on 1080p, because anything lower and I cannot read text

#

If I went down to 800x600 I might get something around that but I wouldn't be able to read anything

abstract kite
#

so you are playing on a laptop?

#

yes?

thorny spoke
#

with exclusive fullscreen

lavish steppe
#

Yeah I can try that I guess

lavish steppe
abstract kite
#

If I were you I would run the game and open task manager

#

and figure out what is throttling you

#

it could be thermals

#

the surface you are playing on also can be a huge deal

#

so just check temps cpu usage and gpu usage

#

then we can figure out the best way to optimize your game based off of that info

I've a question. I noticed that there's a layout you can open with Nvidia Geforce which shows fps and CPU/GPU usage, and also something called Render Latency. What's that, exactly?

Hi! Hoping this is the right place for this, but I'm having a gamepad issue. Essentially, it seems like my aim on the x axis buffers for half a second whenever I return my right thumb stick to neutral. As in, when I come to rest with the right thumb stick, aiming stops but only after buffering for a fraction of a second. My gamepad works perfect on Halo Infinite, Control, Dead By Daylight, etc, so I assume it's something in my settings!

if you think its something in you're settings then try resetting them

hello

keen aspen
#

I have a question and I figure this is the right place to ask it, I am trying to play gtfo on a laptop, and it’s a pretty decent laptop from what I’ve seen but I’ve turned down the graphics settings and I’m only doing 12 fps. Everywhere I looked said that it met the recommended requirements. I’m also very new to computer gaming and I have no idea what a lot of the settings mean so help would be appreciated. I was really looking forward to playing this game

post what laptop @keen aspen

keen aspen
#

Pretty sure it’s a surface book 3

bright shard
#

what graphics card

covert temple
#

Prolly integrated graphics 🥶

bright shard
#

Just trying to upgrade his understanding

keen aspen
#

Sorry I took so long, but where do I find this?

#

I googled it and I ended up with a window that says direct x diagnostic tool and I clicked display and it says Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics, but if I just google what graphics card the laptop has instead of how to check it says NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

#

I don’t know which is what but this is what I found

#

I am fine with lowering graphic quality of the game a bit to make it run better but I hope I don’t have to turn a lot of the features off and turn the resolution way down like I have to make it playable because I feel like it takes away a lot of the atmosphere and feel of the game. Im trying to figure out if my laptop just isn’t good enough and I should probably refund or is there a list of optimal settings I can change to help get the frame rate to playable levels

You get to have more programs in the background while gaming, if you don't care to turn off any programs at all. With programs like discord and whatnot running, 8GB can be taken up somewhat, and games will not feel responsive or smooth. With an increase capacity, it helps to reduce stutters. Say for example a game says you require 8GB RAM as minimum, it's alright. But with no other parts changed except for the RAM now being 16GB, it improves how well the game can run as you can be able to handle more running programs

There is always the possibility the laptop wants to use the integrated to save power, which is a frequent issue.

#

anyone running gtfo on 6700 XT @ 1440p? how's the framerate there?

late sorrel
#

If you click on performance? it gives you graphs for everything in your pc, and it’ll say what GPU you have, what CPU, etc.

#

If you do have the 1660Ti, GTFO is probably using the integrated graphics like Clay said, and then the last hurdle would be finding out how to make gtfo use the 1660, which shouldn’t be that hard

viral geode
#

I thought there was an option to set the desired output

late sorrel
#

There might be, I thought that was just for the display settings.

#

I know it’s very easy and possible with unity, i just don’t know if the devs have it in the game or not

keen aspen
#

I looked on the back of the box the laptop came in and it says it has the 1660 ti

#

So how do I make the game actually use it?

everyone cross your fingers and hope that the driver works

it didnt work : (

bright shard

#

yes

#

i tried a few because i downloaded the wrong ones a couple of times but the one that i swear is right is still not working

fleet canopy
#

Windows 11 no work on windows 10

bright shard
#

he upgraded to 11.

fleet canopy
#

oh

bright shard
#

he was on 10 before because windows update rolled by itself, as usual.

keen aspen
#

i found updates and downloaded them so im going to try again and see if it works

#

Imagine we go through all this only for the graphics card to be just not good enough anyway lmao

bright shard
#

1160 ti is actually pretty decent

#

so, you'll get more playable frames than me tbh

keen aspen

any luck?

#

im downloading one rn in the geforce 16 series but theres another series option that says geforce gtx 16 series (notebooks) but idk what that means

bright shard
#

you want the notebooks one

keen aspen
#

whats the difference

bright shard
#

laptop gpu not equal desktop gpu

#

notebook equals laptop

keen aspen
#

so i should probably do that one bc im on a laptop?

bright shard
#

yes

keen aspen
#

it didn't work

#

both said it wasn't compatable

#

i was so certain it was the right one

#

i have like 10 drivers installed right now lol

fleet canopy
#

Uninstall them all

#

use nvidia's auto driver installer

#

Which is geforce experience

#

Boot it in safe mode if you can't get back on because drivers are uninstalled

#

It will automatically download a driver that's probably not current, but it will work and let you into Windows

keen aspen
#

so where do i get geforce experience

#

i just googled it and now im at a page with an install button but i want to be sure its the right thing

fleet canopy
#

Bloatware sure

#

But it's simple and easy to use

#

They will do it automatically which will be nice for you

keen aspen
#

it says i don't have an nvidia gpu??

#

maybe thats why none of the drivers are working

fleet canopy
#

But a 1660 Ti is an nvidia GPU

keen aspen
#

i dont know anymore

#

i never did really

#

i have a gpu but its useless for some reason

#

i swear they saw my computer at the end of the production line, did a quality check, saw it didn't have a gpu, crammed one in and just shut the computer

#

my laptop just keeps saying there isnt an nvidia graphics card when i try to do stuff but weve already established there is

#

so why doesnt it work D :

bright shard
#

save for that, check the bios for weird gpu settings

keen aspen
#

uhh

#

how lol

bright shard
#

do the show hidden again

keen aspen
#

yeah

bright shard
#

then try right clicking it gpu

if nothing then ??

keen aspen

where is the gpu?

keen aspen

i looked through all the drop downs and didnt see it

bright shard
keen aspen

yes

im reading through the article now

keen aspen

nothing is working :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

bright shard
#

did you try the command line ones?

keen aspen
#

yep

#

if the graphics card is really in there, its not connected to anything

bright shard
#

try checking for stuff in the bios

keen aspen
#

i did the bios things

#

didnt see anything

bright shard

what the fuck

keen aspen

my thoughts exactly

bright shard

hmmm

is your screen detatchable?

keen aspen

yes

bright shard

try detatching then reattaching

#

then check device manager

keen aspen

after all that

jeez

now what lol

#

i forgot what we were doing to begin with

bright shard
#

trying to install drivers for your discrete gpu (1660)

#

but we couldnt, because your gpu wasnt being detected

#

i wonder if you can open the nvidia control panel now.

keen aspen
#

lol

#

i can

#

wow

bright shard
#

awful.

keen aspen
#

so i scrolled up and it looks like you were telling me to tweak gtfo in the nvidia control panel

bright shard
#

yes

keen aspen
#

the gpu should work now right?

bright shard
#

the proof will be in the fps

#

but tweak the gpu settings for gtfo

#

it should let you choose the gpu you want to use for the specific game.

keen aspen
#

so it's program settings, gtfo, and pick high performance nvidia processor?

bright shard
#

yeh

keen aspen
#

ok i did it

#

time to boot up the game

keen aspen
#

i reset to default settings, started up a rundown, and played a little. Game looks great and holds a solid 60 fps!

you only have a 8 gb stick

with 4.6 in use

are you sure?

yes

steel tapir

cause i have 456gb of storage

cinder crypt

steel tapir

im not sure if one are the same

cinder crypt
#

ram is different from storage

#

ram stands for random access memory

#

its different from a hdd or sdd

steel tapir
#

i cleaned some things off

cinder crypt
#

8 gb wont get you many places or many games to play

#

look at the resource monitor

#

at the bottom of tab

steel tapir
#

right now i have 14 games on my laptop

kind fossil

16 should be more than enough ram most of the time right

cinder crypt
#

he only has 8 tho

#

is the problem

kind fossil
#

oh oof

steel tapir
#

gtfo is running fine though.

cinder crypt
#

well with that much i would honestly think about buying 2 8gb sticks for a total of 16 gb or buy 2 16 gb sticks for 32 gb

steel tapir
#

im not sure if i can do that im not using a custom pc in using a laptop

#

and it might void warranty.

cinder crypt
#

i mean

#

it shouldn't as long as you dont pull void warranty tags off but i would check if adding ram to your laptop would void it cause it has another slot for one

steel tapir
#

ill have to check

#

thank you

what is your ram btw

its like razer, the mouse and other hardware are great

get a lenovo legion 5/7 instead

Does anyone know any feasible ways to optimise a 10yr laptop?

abstract kite
#

In many cases you can upgrade ram and storage space, sometimes you can get away with swapping the cpu but it's not recommended.

In all honesty, once a laptop hits 7+ its time to get a new one based exclusively off the fact a lot of the hardware just isn't supported anymore.

#

However, if you're just looking to make it work; ram upgrade and storage upgrades are a good way to go, move the operating system to an ssd on the laptop assuming it has a PCIE slot and maybe grab an external drive. Other than that, very little to my knowledge you can do.

short harness
#

Well I can't do much on the hardware side and it does not support SSDs. I don't think they were even introduced when this laptop was made 😂. I did upgrade the ram from 4 to 8 so it's a bit better than it used to be

The laptop is an Asus K43SJ

i got this issue with my mouse for quite a while and idk whats causing it, when i move it veeeery slowly, its not precise, it moves like idk 0.2 cm when i move it a milimiter

#

cant aim very well because of it, anyone expirianced this?

abstract kite
#

0.2cm and 1mm are very small distamce

dry river
#

are you just talking about your mouse sensitivity

fleet canopy
#

0.2 cm is like 20 mm

#

But yeah it might be sensitivity on your mouse

#

Or some other thing

#

You should try to use 1000 polling rate or as close to that as possible, and configure your DPI and sensitivity to make it nice to use

bright shard
#

better question is whats the mouse

#

i had a mouse at work that would jitter so goddamn bad you would just miss URLs when you tried to click on them.

i'm hoping this is the right channel for this but after running fine the first time round the game is now stuck on startup with it getting hung up on having no network, the log is showing me that the playfab API call ain't working and that the game wasn't able to create a secure channel. these errors are consistently the same over the last few attempts to startup the game. here is the relevant message in the log: 01:30:13.592 - PlayFabManager.OnSteamInitialized

Would be better

So there's a 7200RPM for 3TB I could get for 77$, but there's also a 5400RPM for 4TB I could get for only 80$. The only concern would be whether it's 7200RPM or 5400RPM

placid sentinel
#

all the same, sub 100mb read/write in either case .. but if same form factor, bigger rpm is marginally faster seeks etc

#

just do 4tb ssd " 😄 "

fleet canopy
#

I'm not getting a 4TB ssd too much money

#

Am going for HDD because I just need a storage for games as I keep running low

placid sentinel
#

4tb 5400 is good enough for storing imho, moving a game to ssd takes 4min or 5min, doesn't make a difference..

#

alltho playing the games from that disk can be frustrating

trim breach
#

3tb should be enough for everything you need

#

i would recommend the 7200rpm one

bright shard
#

Honestly, i went the NAS route.

#

Way more convenient than overbuying storage for all networked devices

would a 980 ti work?

like what graphics could i play with it

i wanna know if i can get medium or low graphics on 1080p res

could you also ping if you respond i dont get notified otherwise sorry

bright shard
#

what game? GTFO? probably easily.

paper birch
#

what gpu do you use for it?

bright shard
#

a 970, on minimum, on linux. stable around 75 fps/hz.

tender forge
#

is the game more gpu or cpu reliant?

bright shard
#

Considering my i7 3770k does not peg, id go with gpu dependent

tender forge
#

okay, I just wanted to know bc I have a friend who wants to get the game with me and they didnt know if their cpu being worse then the recommended one would be a problem

bright shard
#

Well, there is the recommended and then there is the minimum

tender forge
#

yeah they have a bit better then the minimum

#

what would minimum run at/

#

?

bright shard
#

Dunno, i dont know anyone with below reccd cpu

tender forge
#

okay, thanks for the help reguardless

bright shard
#

Frankly, i wouldn't use any gpu weaker than a 970

tender forge
#

yeah they have a 1050ti

#

so were good there

bright shard
#

Might be tight, but playable

tender forge
#

yeah

bright shard
#

Should be fine on minimum

tender forge

okay thanks

@cinder crypt I have 3 the ax11000 and 2 RT-AX92U routers and yes if you know how to use them properly but it would depend on what you mean by good.

cinder crypt
#

like good connections

#

good ping

fleet canopy
#

I'm pretty sure a lot work fine

hasty prawn
#

That's how I use them

fleet canopy
#

It doesn't have to be this complex though lol

hasty prawn
#

It would depend on your environment and what you're connected too but yes it keeps ping really low withing reason

cinder crypt
#

just curious we have a eero mesh wifi system and that was the other option

hasty prawn
#

@fleet canopy it does if you has loads of lizards with UV lights like me. I had to do all that just to reach my WiFi cams outside with out drops in signal haha

fleet canopy
#

lmao damn

hasty prawn
#

@fleet canopy UV light really messes with WiFi in a huge way lol

fleet canopy
#

Ah

hasty prawn
#

@cinder crypt what's your internet speed dont eero only go to 100 mb or something. I don't think they are the same class of router really but I don't know much about eero it would depends how much you want to spend and how good you are with routers. I would expect the Rog Asus to be better just with the price alone that router cost me £450 and the 2 RT routers where £350 so it would depend on your usage but I wouldn't use eero for my needs I don't think the signal would punch through my brick walls enough but I could be wrong

#

I could do better than that if I was willing to pay a subscription but I find that is adequate enough lowest ping I have seen is 4 ms

#

Where do you live I'll test a server near you lol

#

Oh that was wireless from my phone not from my pc with ethernet right into the main router although it won't change much I actually have a debate with a friend who swears my ethernet but my argument is my ethernet isn't much better than my WiFi I never really get drops and my speeds stay the same.

cinder crypt
#

its up to 500 mbs on my xbox but i have tested near 700 mbs

hasty prawn
#

What's your actual speed and do you experience any drops ?

cinder crypt
#

but we also have a lot of cameras and devices

hasty prawn
#

If you don't then it's not worth It for you and you made the right choice with eero

fleet canopy
#

Ethernet is pretty much superior yeah but if your wifi is good, fuck it

cinder crypt
#

i have it etherneted into

#

my eero which that eero has a direct connection into the main eero

fleet canopy
#

I used to just have ethernet but I got a motherboard with wifi when I upgraded it around last year or two years ago

#

Worth it during school

cinder crypt
#

which actually helps with the speed on my computer and my xbox

hasty prawn
#

WiFi 6 is really good tbh so is 5g soon ethernet will just be an option the new ax routers have 6ghz frequency too not that there are many devices that use that yet lol

#

@cinder crypt if you're not getting any issues it's fine for you. Without knowing the interface and options available for you to alter I couldn't really say which is better other than googling erro Vs Asus ax11000. I got this router for the WiFi range it has and the ability to extend it further with the antennas obviously this still was not enough as I needed a further 2 to boost it more. Ironic thing is my geckos are upstairs now and I'm thinking of getting the newer Axe11000 and using that as a main and moving the Ax11000.i have into the attic and turning that into a node too lol.

#

@cinder crypt oh I wouldn't trust Xbox speed test though when I had a 350mbps connection it said I was pulling 550 on Xbox. This ax11000 also has an Xbox mode too haha

for performance-wise just use full screen

If you just like me choosing convenient
instead of those super high performance sometime we not even notice it
then maximised window

82 celsius should be fine for my 1060 when playing this game right? my game's not throttling or anything

I've seen a few 1080's for around $500 usd on ebay a few weeks ago, not terrible pricing given the market, it's a steal when you see 1050 ti's going for $300 usd on Newegg

#

Amd 6600? You mean the RX 6600 or something else?

#

1080 for 500$ isn’t bad yeah, but with the new stuff, it can be eh

#

But then again I don’t see much for a better pricing

#

Unless the RX 6600 was around that price or a bit more, while performing much better than a 1080, it could be the only option

I hate this market
