Ok then you'll have the budget for a rx5700xt

[full wing]

I also want liquid cooling

Which one do you suggest

[manic mural]

Ehm

[full wing]

I just don’t do stock fans

[manic mural]

We'll have to cut back on other componets if you want liquid cooling

[full wing]

I already have a power supply

And dvd drive

And a 1tb ssd

[manic mural]

What wattage is your PSU rated at?

[full wing]

750

[manic mural]

Ok good

[full wing]

Corsair

Fully modular

[manic mural]

Then we wont need to buy new storage or psu

If I remember correctly the corsair h150i is good

[full wing]

I was going to get a 500 boot drive

[manic mural]

One sec

[full wing]

And use the 1tb for storage

How many fans

It has to be 2

[manic mural]

Check out this list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HRcNp8

Switch out the ryzen 3600 with a ryzen 2700x if you REALLY NEED 8 cores

[full wing]

It says compatibility

Issues

[manic mural]

Some b450 boards need bios update, new boards dont

We're not buying used board so it'll be fine

[full wing]

I always go new

[safe garnet]

@manic mural spend $5 more on 3600 CL16 RAM?

[manic mural]

Idk cheap ram

Swap it in and show the list

[safe garnet]

RAM went up a bit so $10 difference, still not much tho. Also changed GPU model cuz even tho the Gigabyte is a three fan it's still meh. I would change case to a better airflow one
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MYt4gJ

but cases are really subjective so I kept it the same

[manic mural]

I just think h510 is universally pretty nice looking

It really is personal preference

I had the red dragon one in before but I felt saving like 20$ on a 1000$ build might allow for better parts elsewhere

But it seems good

[safe garnet]

I have looks as a secondary on my list. Sure I care about it but perf is my main concern

airflow on that h510 is pretty meh

[manic mural]

Me too but I just find a lot of people liking the look of that case

It is pretty clean looking

[safe garnet]

yeah. But me being picky I find it hard to recommend

[olive shale]

personally i like it - the fractal define series have even less openings for air and manage to cool quite effectively

i have a define series but i'm already kind of burned out on building in it already because there's hardly anything for disk mounts

and besides my M.2 i'd like to get a couple 2TB 2.5" storage drives

[hybrid hatch]

anyone plays fortnite?

looking for a clan ? dm me eu

[autumn sand]

Ew

[lusty glade]

u dare ask if anyone plays that god forsaken game

i should have your bloodline cleaned of this planet

[olive heart]

FoRtnIte is bAd

[olive shale]

lol i watched the video game awards

and they brought up this really top tier fortnite player

and he was decked out in the esports clothing, and had other things about his look to make it look like he was a real sports player

what do those esports teams do if they find someone who's really good but they're not "sporty" enough

like if i got good at one of those games, enough to get noticed, but i'm kind of fat and i'm growing out a sideshave

and i'm also 36

[olive heart]

rip

[autumn sand]

Well the only way to get anywhere in e-sports is to be part of a sponsoring team, like Secret did in Aoe2. Daut was pretty fat, but had to wear their branded clothing.

[regal mortar]

Anyone here who play MW on pc and know how to link accounts

[silent valve]

@regal mortar MW?

🤔 I'm gonna guess modern warfare, and you need the blizzard Battle client I think

Cause it's from Activision and Activision owns Blizzard, it's where they keep the cod games

As for linking the accounts I'd have no idea

[tulip ridge]

I've never seen CoD games on my WoW starter...

[regal mortar]

Ok

[silent valve]

@tulip ridge BO4 and MW, right there on the WoW starter XD

[tulip ridge]

Since when?!

[silent valve]

Since BO4 came out 🤔

[tulip ridge]

ah that's why

I’m getting about 100 fps in Minecraft how do I get more?

[manic mural]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/660660492452233218/660692495310520320/unknown.png

[silent valve]

@topaz kernel java or bedrock?

Java minecraft is mostly bottlenecked by the CPU since it used Open GL which only can use single core for the graphics

[olive shale]

what is that game @manic mural

it looks amazing

[swift osprey]

Rainbow Six: Siege?

[tawny fog]

I think so too

[olive shale]

nice

it looks very colorful and endearing unlike a lot of similar FPS

[manic mural]

Rainbow six siege

[olive shale]

confirmed

thanks

[manic mural]

its fun!

Also each map is different, some are dark and grimy and some are bright and clean

[olive shale]

is siege the one that gives you quotes about how terrible war is in loading screens

[manic mural]

uhh no

[olive shale]

oh there's a military FPS that does that and i for some reason thought it was siege

[manic mural]

huh ok

[tulip ridge]

probably CoD

[manic mural]

But yea siege is def a great game to look into if you dont know about it

[olive shale]

it's on steam i assume

[manic mural]

ya

[olive shale]

i'll look into it when i get my new GPU in february or march

[manic mural]

Ubisoft made it so it can use that launcher

[tawny fog]

Pretty spec ops is the one with those loading screen quotes @olive shale

[manic mural]

its an esport title so its not that hard to run :p

[olive shale]

yes but i want a gojillion frames per second on maximum

[manic mural]

aight

[tawny fog]

I used to run r6:s with an i3; rx570 and 8gigs

[manic mural]

I used to run r6s on integrated graphics

not well but it ran

[olive shale]

lol wow

[tawny fog]

Mine ran basically without lags

And decent graphics

[manic mural]

mine did lag because
ya know
iGPU

[tawny fog]

Yup

[manic mural]

I run a 2070, max settings if I recall, easily gets around 240 fps

Im on a 144hz monitor sooo

[tawny fog]

Wow

That’s like perfection

[olive shale]

i'd be running max settings on either a vega 64 or a 5700, depending on what's cheaper at the time

[topaz kernel]

@silent valve Java

[silent valve]

Like I said Java Minecraft is mostly CPU bound in most cases

There isn't much you can do to increase FPS except install optifine and tweak the settings

[halcyon fossil]

render distance 2

2000fps

[loud maple]

I've done that haha

[versed tulip]

hey i have this computer

https://www.newegg.com/ibuypower-versa-series-ne782k/p/N82E16883227593?Item=N82E16883227593
was ondering if i could us this as a gaming pc with my tv and if not what should i upgrade first?

[fleet widget]

you're probably going to want a newer GPU but it depends on what kind of gaming you want to do @versed tulip

[full wing]

I would reccomend a gtx 1060 but it depends on your budget

Also another stick of 8gb ram as it's pretty cheap and a great upgrade

An ssd and other then that your good to go

This is just a upgrade path

But if you have the budget gpu and ram if not ram first gpu second ssd last

[olive shale]

the original witcher is not worth $1.50, trust me i have played a lot of the game

done a lot of the stuff in the city and just gave up

the sword dancing combat

TW2 and TW3 on the other hand are both a lot of fun and can (befitting the kind of RPG they are) be played with a controller, they're much more action oriented games, but with plenty of role playing at every turn

[low lichen]

hey i need a good duo partner in fortnite

[runic tusk]

you could lfg in the Fortnite DC if they have one @low lichen

[stray ember]

@olive shale dont play siege, you'll end up hating yourself

[runic tusk]

Siege is a great game, don’t know why you’re saying that lol 😁

[stray ember]

siege is... something

[olive shale]

if it's multiplayer only i'm not into it

[stray ember]

i mean don't get me wrong, I love it and play it often, but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone

[runic tusk]

Yep a solid esport titles with a consistant playership since 2015

[olive shale]

i suck at FPS

[stray ember]

it's purely pvp

and a difficult one to learn

[runic tusk]

Multiplayer FPS Anni 😅

➡️ siege

Yep there’s a high skill ceiling

But I think since there’s so much to learn in the game it makes it very interesting

[olive shale]

everyone is already so much better than you when you join i'd imagine it's easy to get frustrated

[stray ember]

i hit plat for 2 seasons and regretted it cuz then i couldnt even mess around in cas without people hard sweating

like

hard sweating

[runic tusk]

That’s kind of true Anni, but in Siege there’s something called Ranked which ranks you with players around your level at the game and there is a casual mode where all those players are mixed up

But I would still recommend having played a FPS before games like siege

[stray ember]

tl;dr dont get siege

[runic tusk]

It was my first PC game ever and it took a long time to get used to but I had fun while learning

[olive shale]

i'd rather just play destiny 2 tbh, it feels like warframe but a lot more interesting

[stray ember]

the one about how terrible war is, perhaps you're thinking of battlefield one? But that's not in the loading screens so much

mw3 had a lot of war quotes

and that was every time you died

[runic tusk]

battlefield one is a nice PVE if you like WW games

[stray ember]

i feel like ive definitely played the game you were referring to but i can't figure it out 🤔

[runic tusk]

Nice story + even multiplayer if I’m not mistaken

[stray ember]

love me some bf1

[runic tusk]

What game ?

"i feel like ive definitely played the game you were referring to but i can't figure it out 🤔"

[stray ember]

ooohhh

[runic tusk]

Watchu mean

[stray ember]

i was referencing this

i read the chat fairly far back, just to see what convo was like here

then as a siege player i thought i'd save someone their sanity

[runic tusk]

Aha yeah that’s bf1

Siege has clean loading screens imo

[stray ember]

seems like a chill group tho

i need bullet body penetration

[runic tusk]

Chill server overall

[stray ember]

can't wait for that to be implemented

[runic tusk]

Bullet body penetration ? 😅

[stray ember]

okay, so

here's how siege works

[runic tusk]

So that bullets go through the body

?

And continue moving ?

[stray ember]

when you hit someone in the stomach, their body flinches, and their hands come up to their face (you can visibly see their gun point upwards)

if you immediately flick to their head AFTER hitting their stomach, chest, or shoulder, it wont count as a headshot because their hands are in front of their face

bullet pen will eliminate that

[runic tusk]

Ah got it

[stray ember]

even tho a 5.56 would just

tear apart a persons hands

[runic tusk]

😂😅

[stray ember]

#realism

[runic tusk]

For sure

But in games...

[stray ember]

ik ik it's difficult, and siege isnt realistic anyway

[runic tusk]

Maybe ubi does that flinching head cover movement to prevent hs

[stray ember]

https://tenor.com/view/rainbow-six-siege-the-score-silly-crouch-wild-gif-15884262

[runic tusk]

Cause it’s a 1hs1k game

Haha that gif

[stray ember]

there's kind of a goal to hit the head though

that's what caps a high elo player from one in low elo

[runic tusk]

Always aim the head

Flicking towards the head even after dealing damage isn’t a bad thing to do

[stray ember]

that's where t-hunt and/or aim training will make or break someone's skill

so for headshots to be blocked in that way is rediculous

the fact that i can even flick to their head before they can start shooting shows my skill over theirs

[runic tusk]

You could start a conversation about this on official R6 server. I wonder what the community thinks about this

[stray ember]

for them to start shooting after my sight is on their head and still kill me

[runic tusk]

Yea of course

[stray ember]

idk but kixstar was pretty peeved about it

and he's their official commentator lmao

[runic tusk]

Ye KiXSTAR got lots of opinions bout different things

I watch his streams sometimes

[stray ember]

i like kix cuz his voice is more reasonable than that of most pro players

[raw niche]

oatmeal#5048 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stray ember]

whoops

[runic tusk]

Ahah

Newegg laws btw

[stray ember]

ima tl;dr that last thing

so pro players cry and whine but they can literally go to ubi at any time with issues they have

yet they never do

[runic tusk]

Yet they should do

[stray ember]

so i think kix is a lot better at actually going to ubi to make changes, which is part of why bullet pen is being introduced

[runic tusk]

Pro players are close to the game devs, which is nice to see

And Ubi actually listens to community

And that’s nice

[stray ember]

sometimes they do

[runic tusk]

I remembered the old days when I played Fortnite on console and epic never listened to s***

[stray ember]

i dont think anyone really wanted the 3 - 3 round in ranked yet it still got put in

that is true

[runic tusk]

3-3 is fine imo

I still love playing and it’s not too much of a problem

[stray ember]

i very much dislike it, personally

i feel like some maps are extremely defender sided and getting put 0-3 because of map advantage is quite annoying

only some maps tho

what's your ubi name, ima add you

i dont play that well anymore lmao but i dont worry too much about it

[runic tusk]

I live in Asia, servers might be a problem 😅

[stray ember]

oh yikes

yeah that 200 ping is op

[runic tusk]

OP but personally I don’t like having high ping lol

https://youtu.be/2nvNXWxwyNg

Did you watch this ?

[stray ember]

nah but i will

we actually went against a 5 stack of ping glitchers, that was stupid

[runic tusk]

Ping glitchers still exist, big oof

[stray ember]

literally in one of the final kill cams, our maestro's bullets were going BEHIND the hibana, yet for us he was aiming directly at her

so dumb lol

yeah you just go into thunt and switch your reigion

[runic tusk]

😅😅

[stray ember]

i tried it in a casual to see how unfair is actually was (can't dog on it until i know for sure) and it really does give you an insane advantage

to you, everyone else moves normally, but they cant even do damage to you

[runic tusk]

It maybe does but i tried once and had a pretty bad experience

I lagged myself

[stray ember]

really? lol guess it's different for everyone

[runic tusk]

And since I play in cybercafes (korea btw 😂) / i don’t own a pc

[stray ember]

cybercafes?

[runic tusk]

The pcs in the cybercafe I go to are dogpoop

[stray ember]

interesting

[runic tusk]

Things like this work very well in South Korea

[stray ember]

i used to play on a 2gb gpu so i understand it lmao

[runic tusk]

960 2gb in the cybercafe I go to

One of the worst of korea

Well, I won’t be going there too much when I get my pc I’ll be building in Feb/March

i saved 600 for now

Ain’t too easy saving as a teen 😅

i am about to buy a vega 56 and hope i win the silicon lottery and get samsung memory so i can do the BIOS flash, even if i end up with Hynix memory I can overclock that thing really well

and get very close

the BIOS flash to the V64 gets you within a few percent of V64 and thus within a few percent of an RX 5700 for $200

[unkempt terrace]

👌

Doesn't vega64 consume a heck ton of power?

[warm belfry]

hey all just wanted to ask if there was a way to make a game use more ram to provide more fps?

VR gaming is, for most purposes, just PC gaming

It's more immersive

i mean, thats like saying xbox gaming is just like pc gaming but with a controller

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent ore]

Well, funny thing. You can Xbox on your PC but you can't PC on your Xbox. 😉

[latent ore]

huh

That's odd

Did you uninstall and reinstall new drivers?

[mint eagle]

Yes.

Beat Saber and others run much better now, just that message keeps nagging.

[halcyon fossil]

might wanna reinstall some software

also nice

that is a good upgrade

1060 as the minimum is a lie

[fleet widget]

the minimum is 970 tho not 1060

[latent ore]

Depends on the game. Also, 970 = 1060

[fleet widget]

yeah im aware but 1060 is sliiiiightly more powerful lol

[latent ore]

Side by side in game, they have equal FPS

Also interested in ThatOneDeafKid's question.

[halcyon fossil]

ah

well

i dont have experience

a better solution will be VR shoes with some sort of ball in them

i know how the omni directional treadmills work tho

[fleet widget]

i just wanna get some hands on input cause i might try to go buy one soon lol

[halcyon fossil]

[halcyon fossil]

[fleet widget]

i do indeed have a small car

[halcyon fossil]

i want a small car

[fleet widget]

there was one that was supposed to retail at 799 but it didnt meet the crowdfunding goal

[halcyon fossil]

i think my first car is going to be my brothers pickup truck, and now im upset.

his car is a piece of crap

im not expecing a good car, but like his pickup truck is basically broken

[fleet widget]

ey my cousin took his brothers small pickup that was basically broken and he fixed it up and made it his own

[halcyon fossil]

yeah id love to do that

but the transmission needs to be replaced

which costs like, a lot

[fleet widget]

sounds like its time to learn how to replace a transmission lol

btw dont do that yourself its hard af

do you have a job

[halcyon fossil]

yeah i dont plan on doing that lol

not yet

im 15

i want one, but there arent many jobs for 15 year olds

1 more year and ill get one

i wanted to get this for the car because its a relatively cheap upgrade

https://www.amazon.com/JVC-In-Dash-CD-Receiver-KW-R930BT/dp/B075FWTFSR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=JVC+stereo&qid=1578808192&sr=8-1

adds bluetooth

[fleet widget]

true. but you can get some cheap cars around 2-3k that dont need a new transmission if you can save up lol

and nah the only upgrade you need to be legit is this
https://www.amazon.com/Transfer-Sticker-Laptop-Window-Surprised/dp/B07PWHX8G1/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2B01L290B5X86&keywords=pikachu+vinyl+sticker&qid=1578808267&sprefix=pikachu+v%2Caps%2C181&sr=8-9

but no for a radio around a hundred bucks, you can also get a touch screen it just wont be super great but it makes it easier for certain things

and if you're handy enough to install it (which is hard in a truck) you can get one with a backup camera which i recommend cause it makes life 1000 times easier lol

[halcyon fossil]

honestly

being a first time driver

i feel like the screen would be too distracting

as it is music is pushing it

i did see those, but idk

my dad probably wouldnt want me driving it if it had a screen in it either

backup camera might be nice but i need to learn to not depend on that and learn how to back up lol

looks easy to upgrade, right?

[fleet widget]

i mean you're right you should learn to back up with out one and it shouldnt be your focus but its nice for tight spots where you gotta get out without hitting things

also you will still need a dash kit most likely

[halcyon fossil]

yeah

i looked into it a bit

not too hard i dont think

my dad has taken off the front panel before for upgrades too, so we know how to get in

[fleet widget]

its usually not but you need adapters and such and sometimes you gotta solder stuff depending on the car.

theres ways to get around soldering but they can come loose

these guys will attach wires together without soldering but if they come loose you gotta open it back up and screw it back on. not usually 100% reccomended but my dad did it and it worked fine lol

ah

wire nuts

[fleet widget]

but also it doesnt always require soldering if you can find the proper ports and adapters and such. just depends. try to find tutorials for the specific type of radio with your specific car before buying, also get the trans fixed before putting new stuff in the car lol

[halcyon fossil]

yeah

[keen stump]

Can anyone please suggest the best brick and mortor stores to buy pc games these days? I prefer having install disks instead of downloading when possible.

[latent ore]

There are no install discs anymore.

Any new game is going to be DL only for multiple reasons, namely game size in GB, etc.

[tame cobalt]

aren't there games on discs which have a portion of the installation on the disc, that require the rest to be downloaded from the internet?

[latent ore]

Not to my knowledge. Older ones, yeah. Anything new, it's just a case with a key at best.

[tame cobalt]

I remember PS4 discs being described similarly

that is of course not considered PC but still is a way of acquiring games that is both disc and download

[keen stump]

Dang I was afraid of that. I haven't bought many games in long time. I really hate having to download eveything.

What are the best online places to buy besides Steam. I already use that.

Any other good sites besides Steam to buy and DL from?

[tame cobalt]

probably GoG

[keen stump]

Ok thanks. I'll check it out.

Guess I'm just going to have to buy another ssd to store all my games so I don't have to spend hours downloading after a reinstall.

[tame cobalt]

sounds like a good idea

[keen stump]

Such a pain. I just spent a bunch of money on pc parts for my new build. Now have to buy another part instead of spending money on games

[tame cobalt]

you could take a spare hard drive if you have one lying around, if that storage of games is only temporary before moving it to another machine

[keen stump]

Hey that's a great idea. Thanks :)

[tame cobalt]

😉

[keen stump]

Is there noticeable difference running games from an ssd VS hdd?

[tame cobalt]

I think it depends

the game will typically load things faster on an ssd

probably >.>

but if you have a bunch of ram a larger portion of the game can be loaded and ready

[keen stump]

Makes sense.

[tame cobalt]

it's like taking a weak netbook from 2011, putting a tiny linux distro on it and calling it a day xd

the whole OS will be able to load into memory and it will be fast regardless of the storage type

[keen stump]

I Just wonder if I bought like a higher performance WD Black hdd if it would be noticeable. That way I could buy a larger drive for the price

Lol

[tame cobalt]

yeah that's probably a good idea

a lot of things I would prefer to be on hdd storage

[keen stump]

Not sure the read and write speeds on those

Yeah cheaper and a bit more reliable

I could get like a 2TB WD Black Hdd vs a 1TB SSD.

[tame cobalt]

yeah

[keen stump]

For about the same

Think I'm going to do more research on it

[tame cobalt]

for me, my 7200 rpm drive is tolerable for loading games and such from

[keen stump]

I agree

[tame cobalt]

the OS itself, and browsers, of course are better on an ssd

[keen stump]

Yeah I noticed a huge difference between my new build with OS on ssd. My old pc ran only hdd's.

[tame cobalt]

nice

I need to get me one of them flashy boys

I can only use SATA on any of my computers, which is okay because SATAIII ssd performance is still great

[keen stump]

Yeah data ssd's are still huge improvement over data hdds.

sata*

I was even thinking about getting SAS drives and getting a controller to run on my build lol

10,000rpm to 15,000rpm

[tame cobalt]

👀

[keen stump]

Can find SAS drives really cheap sometimes.

[latent ore]

Steam, origin, Uplay and Epic are the big ones. GoG gas their own launcher also. Humble Bundle sometimes has deals on games....check them too.

[keen stump]

Great thank you.

I do have Uplay from Ubisoft cause I bought Anni 1800 but it only has Ubisoft games

Anno 1800*

I found out Microsoft also has Xbox for pc games but seems rather limited selection

[latent ore]

Ah it's not bad.

[keen stump]

I do want to get the newer Forza game. I've been looking for a great racing game

[latent ore]

I played horizon. Was ok....more arcady style though.

[keen stump]

Yeah I prefer more sim like

Some of the older NASCAR racing games are actually really fun cause of the realistic physics

[warm belfry]

the graphics are great in fh4 which is pretty nice

[keen stump]

Wow that is good

[tame cobalt]

my favorite is Gran Turismo 4

[keen stump]

I have a new RX 590 I need to break in. That's why I'm looking for games

Heck yeah! Gran Turismo 4 was the best

Did they ever make that for pc?

I played it on console

[tame cobalt]

naw you need to emulate it if you want it on PC

[keen stump]

Dang

[tame cobalt]

I guess

[keen stump]

With games like Fortnight pc games are making a comeback though. Maybe we'll see some great new games soon

Anyone know if Age of Empires 4 is coming out yet?

I'm really looking forward to that one

do you guys play after h on vive port

its free

[tepid lake]

Is a oculus rift with 3 sensors for 240 good (bidding starts at 210)

[halcyon fossil]

yes

the oculus rift isnt that good right now, but thats a good price

assuming it comes with the touch controllers too

[calm reef]

are they coming out with a new oculus headset this year?

[silent valve]

making a new character for the new Class in BDO 😄

[fleet widget]

@halcyon fossil why do you say oculus rift isnt that good right now

[latent ore]

The original Rift, not the S

[fleet widget]

im aware, thats what I have.

[calm reef]

well the original rift didn't have very good tracking and it's display is not as good as the competition now

[fleet widget]

well no not at all lol but for 200 bucks id say thats a better deal. also i heard the tracking was better on rift with 3 trackers than rift s due to it having slight issues? im still getting the S soon tho

[calm reef]

you can ask zack more about it but I think the tracking on the s was still better than the original with 3 trackers. The rift S has software to predict where the controllers will be based on the motion to make up for the sight lost in the back, so it works well if you are just swinging your hand behind you

[halcyon fossil]

nah

outside in tracking will always be better

im saying the rift isnt the best right now because its outdated

screen res is bad, takes a ton of USB ports

[fleet widget]

screen res and less set up are why im trying to get a rift s but for usb ports i just got something like this

[halcyon fossil]

that would work

but if your system is all about looks, eh

[fleet widget]

who sees the back tho. my plan is to fill up every unused pcie on my slot with usb when im finished and ill pull out a usb pcie when i need a new pcie slot lol

[silent valve]

At least an elgato pro has a nice chassis for a PCIe card. And it tucks nice and not very noticeable in the bottom

[fleet widget]

thats what im saying tho is that pcie is in the back and noone ever sees the back on most pc set ups

[severe sand]

Looking for unranked/copper/silver rank available 7:45 PM eastern time to join me in a rank grind tonight (R6S)

Anyone down? @ me

[olive shale]

what game are you even talking about

not gonna @ you buddy

[runic tusk]

He’s talking about Rainbow Six Siege, and yeah GTurbo you should use the full name because some people don’t know the shortened name

[olive shale]

oh i didn't see R6S

[runic tusk]

Aha so you do know 😀

[olive shale]

i don't know most of what was said there though, that's gonna be serious players

[runic tusk]

Yep for sure. Player-language I guess

[sick minnow]

anyone have any experience with metro 2033 redux on xbox game pass

it crashed my entire pc during first mission and now either immediately loads into glitched level on launch or fails to load entirely

[halcyon fossil]

i got to play with my friends index and full body trackers

and all i gotta say is

oh

my

god

i was let down by the comfort of the headset, but the fov, resolution, and framerate are all insane

i was let down by the finger tracking too :/

it was cool and all

but it didnt feel like i would have expected it to

[fleet widget]

so would you say that or rift s

[halcyon fossil]

depends on a lot of things

[fleet widget]

like

[halcyon fossil]

are you using it for recording, do you have the space for base stations, whats your budget, do you already have base stations, do you hate facebook cough

what games would you play

etc.

also full body tracking is amazing, but its not worth $300 imo

[fleet widget]

i mean i dont have anything

i have rift

[halcyon fossil]

ah

[fleet widget]

i dont hate fb tho

[halcyon fossil]

so a clean slate

[fleet widget]

what is the full body tracking part thats 300?

[halcyon fossil]

you can purchase vive pucks for $100 each, strap them to your legs and torso, and get full body tracking

[fleet widget]

ah.

i wanted the katwalk mini

but its $4000 ;-;

[halcyon fossil]

yeah...

not worth it imo

[fleet widget]

it would be at <$1000 imo but none of em go that low right now lol

[pseudo comet]

what cable should i use for oculus link

[halcyon fossil]

the oculus link cable

[halcyon fossil]

after careful thought and consideration

i like the oculus rift s better than the valve index

but thats just for me personally

the headphones and screen resolution are much better on the index, and mechanical ipd adjustment is nice

but the rift s doesnt require base stations, the controllers are easier to use, the headset is more comfortable and immersive, and the software is more polished

also @tulip sun i like boneworks better without finger tracking

its probably just because im just not used to it, but i would always accidentally grab things when i didnt mean to

having an actual button to grab things reduces accidental grabbing

[tulip sun]

Youre better without finger tracking

[halcyon fossil]

yes

[fleet widget]

Ok but when is rift s going to get hand tracking

[halcyon fossil]

probably never

if you really want, you can get base stations and index controllers

but that'll only work with steamvr apps

and its more expensive than the headset

just for some dumb controllers

[fleet widget]

i mean the quest has hand tracking, one would assume itd come to rift s as well

[timid yarrow]

anybody know a good alternitive to the logitech g502, Ive had mine for almost 3 years now and the metal mouse wheel has started to corrode from constant use

[fleet widget]

if you like it the g502e is only like 20 bucks but its essentially the same thing

other than that i usually go with cheap mice i find on amazon that has what i want lol

[timid yarrow]

I might honestly just get another g502 and then change out the mouse wheel if at all possible, the shape fits my hand perfectly and the 3 buttons on the side are positioned so my thumb can reach them easily

[olive shale]

I'm going to buy a trackball soon, I am actually pretty good at FPS aimy shooty games with a trackball

[fleet widget]

._.

ive not heard of people playing fps with a track ball

[olive shale]

i'm not in competition or anything

but i became adept with a trackball sometime when i was a teenager because i bought a computer for my new apartment and grabbed a trackball because they let you grab your input devices at the computer shop

you'd go in the shop and buy their prebuilt

and you'd get a mouse and keyboard of your choice

hand built machines be they prebuilt or otherwise were absolutely hideous back in the day

usually some weird curves and a beige chassis with poor cooling

and like bright teal buttons

you could get enthusiast cases from Lian-Li and a couple of other manufacturers

but they were hundreds of dollars

(kind of like Lian-Li is now)

their infamous aluminum cases were being made as far back as like 1995 though

[fleet widget]

neat. my brother asked my mom for a new gaming mouse and keyboard for christmas and i tried to convince her to buy him a track ball as a joke lol

[olive shale]

lol

they can be daunting for those who are not used to using them

i think i found a bluetooth one i like

and also a bluetooth keyboard with optical switches and a rechargeable built in battery

1900 mAh is really good for just a keyboard

will last a week easily

[halcyon fossil]

just ordered these

https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DQG5P09JV48SJ6RV3GCK

im super excited

only thing is

The touch controllers are NOT INCLUDE !

[fleet widget]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i like those

turn oculus touch controlers into budget index controllers

man i wanna play vr right now but i cant wear the headset 😦

[halcyon fossil]

why not @fleet widget ?

[latent ore]

He has a new cochlear implant

[halcyon fossil]

oh

:(

[latent ore]

Yeah, has to heal for a few weeks before the headset can be worn. That said, hearing will be restored so 🙂

[halcyon fossil]

nice!

ive been playing VR all day

my eye HURTS

just got out of it, ive been playing for 2 hours straight

if that speaks to the comfort of the oculus rift s

no numbness

[fleet widget]

Lol you’ve made me want the rift a but I want them to not have more stuff for quest. They need to support rift s better

[halcyon fossil]

finger tracking on the quest is only used in the menus right now, and it doesnt work when you cross your hands over eachother

not good for games

[fleet widget]

im aware but i still want to see support for it because its cool technology

[waxen zodiac]

This black dot on my sreen its not because of my monitor because even the picture gets it, sometimes it goes to my different monitor

Is that like an virus

[fleet widget]

thats something i've never seen before

[unkempt terrace]

any insurgency players here? I need some people to test out a server to make sure I'm forwarding the right ports

[long briar]

@waxen zodiac if it transfers between displays, it is most definitely a virus. XD Good luck!

[waxen zodiac]

How do i fix it @long briar

[long briar]

dude, you might not be able to. Have you hooked your monitor up to another device to make sure the monitor is good, @tall crag?

[waxen zodiac]

Rn i restarted my pc and i don't see it

only sometimes i see it

[latent ore]

That's not a virus lol. That's a video driver or Windows bug

I would use DDU and then reinstall a fresh download of your video drivers

https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

[waxen zodiac]

Thanks

[halcyon fossil]

well, i played another round

and i tried taking a screenshot of my stats

but somebody was walking in front of the sign

then i tried again, and somebody was feeding me water.

you can piece them together

14 kills, 2 points

and the first round i got 7 kills and 3 points

[maiden umbra]

Are we allowed to post our new small org here?

[latent ore]

#links-and-selfpromotion

[halcyon fossil]

i have a good idea

this is for any VR headset developers out there

add a tiny camera on the bottom of the headset angled towards the mouth

and add mouth tracking

also have eye tracking

that way you can have full facial expressions

which are very important to communication

[fleet widget]

Help deaf ppl read lips in vr ^

Also give rift s hand tracking for sign language. Great use case

[fleet widget]

mark zuckerberg went out to say that housing in big cities is getting bad. population is getting denser, cost going up, quality going down. his solution? VR. Mark zuckerberg literally wants to make ready player one. He thinks having vr will make up for having a tiny useless broken down house in the city lol

[halcyon fossil]

sorry mark i love VR, but its not gonna replace a house

[fleet widget]

right

[night agate]

top 5 vr headsets?

[halcyon fossil]

there are only 5 vr headsets

jk

youre main current options right now is the index and the rift s

rift s is a better option imo

index costs $1000

rift s costs $400

and has easier set up and take down, better software, better controllers (in some scenarios) and better comfort

@night agate i need to go to bed, but im basically a walking VR encyclopedia so i can talk tomorrow

ive personally used the Rift, Rift S, windows mixed reality, and the index

my favorite has been the rift s

but ill talk later

[fleet widget]

I second what zack said. rift s seems to be best bang for buck but im also wondering about oculus quest viability myself, and i havent had a chance to use one yet

[night agate]

okie

[halcyon fossil]

oculus quest...

[fleet widget]

i know how you feel

but i wanna try it

[halcyon fossil]

oculus quest has lower resolution and lower refresh rate and worse tracking, and even if you were to use the link cable the placement for the port is terrible. and it costs as much as the rift s anyways

[fleet widget]

being able to have it as standalone is a super nice feature you gotta admit, and if it works as well as rift s with oculus link, (which i doubt), its gotta be worth it

theyve already released a statement saying the screen can support 90 hz tho so if they unlock that (which theyre thinking about as far as i know) for pc play, thats going to be amazing

[halcyon fossil]

oculus quest $400 ($500 for the 128gb model) +link = $480 or $580

wait what

90hz

cmon now

[night agate]

im eyeing the rift s fo sho

[halcyon fossil]

oculus rift s is 80

[fleet widget]

also you can get cases with a type c at front and center

both are capable of 90 hz zack

[halcyon fossil]

difference between 80 and 90 is negligible though

[fleet widget]

theyre locked tho

[halcyon fossil]

thats stupid

[fleet widget]

for the rift s it was over heating issues or something

for the quest it was performance

[halcyon fossil]

i still like rift s better

[fleet widget]

i mean i probably will to

but its worth trying both lol

ima go try em before i buy

[halcyon fossil]

comfort is a big thing, and that halo design is amazing

i could go for hours

[fleet widget]

see ive had bad experiences with the halo design in the past so that actually worries me a bit

[night agate]

and then the index just unleash the wallet

[fleet widget]

but also quest is apparently heavy af. which is a big no no

[halcyon fossil]

halo design on wmr is garbage

but rift is is super comfortable

[fleet widget]

i find the og rift pretty comfortable

[halcyon fossil]

yeah it was okay

but you gotta trust me on this, the rift s is extremely comfortable

[fleet widget]

i mean, ima go to a place in downtown houston that showcases both when i go to buy

im going to try both, and then buy one

[halcyon fossil]

ill sell you on the rift s

[fleet widget]

lol you a fanboi

[halcyon fossil]

from my standpoint, the quest is not powerful (i dont expect it to be, after all it is standalone) so whats the point in portability if it doesnt run well

it has to do beat saber at lower graphics

BEAT SABER

so future games arent gonna run

[fleet widget]

it runs well enough on its own, and if its comfotable and works at high settings on pc, thats a plus tho

[night agate]

ngl

[halcyon fossil]

rift s will depend on your pc specs which you can upgrade

[fleet widget]

the comfort is what im worried about on quest tho

[night agate]

im just for the hl alyx for vr uwu

[fleet widget]

did you just uwu

[tame cobalt]

OwO

[fleet widget]

lmao

[halcyon fossil]

rec room, boneworks, beat saber, half life alyx, vr chat, etc.

ton of content

[fleet widget]

vr is amazin

[night agate]

yes i just did uwu

[fleet widget]

ill say tho, i am an oculus fanboy. great price for great products.

its just a matter of which oneeeee

[halcyon fossil]

the quality is fantastic

great products

[fleet widget]

i havent held a controller i like better than the oculus touch lol

[night agate]

could i just get the valve index headset and controller and use a different hubs?

[fleet widget]

and the new ones are so much better

[halcyon fossil]

you can use index controllers with the rift s, but only in steam VR and you have to get the base stations. its a dumb idea really

[fleet widget]

i dont think so?🤔

[halcyon fossil]

so expensive

[fleet widget]

i think they work with vive base stations but those are also expensive

and im not sure

[halcyon fossil]

for crap controls (im about to get killed)

[fleet widget]

iunno they seem fine

ive heard it has tracking issues but fine enough

better than vive cosmos

[halcyon fossil]

cosmos is the worst

i will never recommend that headset

[fleet widget]

i cant believe vive, the expensive vr company, tried to rip off oculus

[night agate]

hopefully 2020 will come with vr universallity

[fleet widget]

vr is already universal tho

[halcyon fossil]

companies love exclusivity

we are lucky with steam vr as is

see the thing is

if a company lets say Oculus, decides to stop supporting steam vr and locking users out of it, they wont sell headsets

literally everything is compatible with steam vr

[fleet widget]

its bad enough theyre trying to force fb login on their own games lol

but games that dont support the oculus can usually still be played by the oculus

controls can just be wonky at times

[halcyon fossil]

i dont use oculus store

i only buy steamvr games

[night agate]

i just wanna take my favorite bits and parts of headset sets and just mix em ina blender ya know?

[halcyon fossil]

yes

so do i

[fleet widget]

yes

[halcyon fossil]

i want the comfort and tracking of the rift s with the screen and headphones of the index along with parts of the index controllers on my touch controllers

[fleet widget]

nah not the index

theres a new 8k headset with a 200 degree fov thats apparently really good

[halcyon fossil]

oh i forgot pimax existed

that things huge though

and $2000

[night agate]

id prob only want the controller from the index

[fleet widget]

depends on how heavy it is tho lol

[halcyon fossil]

index controllers...

meh

[fleet widget]

id want the index controllers if they were working properly

[halcyon fossil]

finger tracking is overrated

[fleet widget]

finger tracking is going to be key in the future

[halcyon fossil]

until the software and games support it, finger tracking is dumb

[fleet widget]

imagine an mmo where you can do full hand signals and movement

[halcyon fossil]

i dont know why it hasnt been made yet, but VR gloves

thats what we need

[tame cobalt]

eyebrow tracking

[fleet widget]

cause its not easy lol

i want a body suit that does full tracking and full feedback

[halcyon fossil]

weve been to the freaking moon, how hard can it be

[fleet widget]

going to the moon required little computer power

faking the moon requires much more

[halcyon fossil]

haha kerbal space program

ok see but

the math, the timing, the perfection of execution

that took a lot of brain power

oops didnt see that gif text

yeah lets not

[fleet widget]

doesnt require a lot of brain power to think, "make fingers move"

i didnt see any gif text

[halcyon fossil]

it wasnt good

anyways

[fleet widget]

but it needs a good pc

[halcyon fossil]

sleep time good night

[fleet widget]

alright night

[full wing]

approx fps in fortnite? low settings 1080p with these specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (6 cores)
RX 580 (8gb)
16gb ram 3200mhz

[fleet widget]

a website said 173.6 FPS

aproximately

at low

[night agate]

FoRtNiTe

[granite temple]

bop

[fleet widget]

it wasnt really a tutorial it just kinda said to use it lol

https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

download the setup folder

you dont need the rest

or you can just clone/download the whole thing if you wanna

[granite temple]

I just did clone or download lol

[fleet widget]

ok extract it,

open the set up folder

[granite temple]

I'm there

[fleet widget]

im sorry open the portable folder

[granite temple]

there

[fleet widget]

open uwphook.zip and extract that

[granite temple]

done

[fleet widget]

then open that folder,

run the exe

click the refresh icon, find forza (And all other games you want) and checkbox it, and click add to steam

then exit steam and relaunch

[granite temple]

IT WORKS

THANK YOU

[fleet widget]

lol

now if you want

cause the background is black, you can download a forza pic and just rightclick the background and click add custom image

to make it look nicer

[granite temple]

I think I'm fine enough without lol

just needed this for Big Picture

[fleet widget]

fair

this is going to be super useful for me too tho

i might be able to do all the stuff through big picture. so if i can get big picture to launch on start up im golden O:

this is fantastic

youve given me life again motor

[granite temple]

haha

let me know when and if it's possible to boot Windows with Steam Big Picture. I'll probably figure it out eventually but let me know if you find it before me lol

[fleet widget]

boom https://www.howtogeek.com/233911/how-to-make-your-windows-gaming-pc-automatically-boot-to-big-picture-mode-like-a-steam-machine/

this is happening

[granite temple]

bruh

Steam OS v2

[fleet widget]

[granite temple]

@fleet widget it works

this is awesome lol

[fleet widget]

dooooope

[granite temple]

just wish it was smoother though

[fleet widget]

probably need to build a pc with fast boot and whatnot

[granite temple]

it'll show the Windows desktop at first

[fleet widget]

whats slow about it

oh yeah i figured lol

it might be possible if you are careful with how things boot

i have an idea for that

[granite temple]

yeah was just about to say that lol

[fleet widget]

basically if i do a fresh install with a fastboot board, using a good SSD, i could probably have it run through things fast enough to not notice

as long as literally nothing else runs

[granite temple]

I just wish I could have Steam run as the first thing right after the necessities in Windows

but I basically don't even need a mouse and keyboard with this setup

[fleet widget]

plus you could make it look like part of the proccess by clearing dekstop and making the background look like a loading screen xD

thats my plan too

[granite temple]

I might turn on fastboot in my BIOS

yeah that would be cool too

[fleet widget]

ima use an xbox with controller companion on boot and a chat pad which will control all of windows in case something goes wrong

[granite temple]

honestly, I might just place all of my programs in a folder in the Documents tab and just set a black wallpaper and hide the taskbar

that'll be my recipe

and possibly even add to it if I can find a fake loading icon for Rainmeter

[fleet widget]

iunno what that looks like

[granite temple]

Rainmeter?

it's basically just plugins that help with the functionality of your desktop

[fleet widget]

oh wait ive used that before i think

or something similar

back in the windows vista days

[granite temple]

idk if it existed during Vista

[fleet widget]

it was actually during the windows 7 early days but i still had vista xD

[granite temple]

I see lol

but I'd definitely try to do something creative with Rainmeter

is there a way to use Steam Link from Windows PC to Windows PC?

[fleet widget]

like stream a game from pc to pc?

[granite temple]

yes

[fleet widget]

yeah

[granite temple]

how lol

oh I got it

😄

[granite temple]

Forza doesn't work with this

[fleet widget]

what do you mean

[granite temple]

Like, Steam sort of knows that it’s trying to Stream a game, but Forza just doesn’t work with Streaming

I mean, importing Forza into Steam works perfectly fine

But Streaming it to my TV PC doesn’t work

But it’ll launch and work perfectly fine on my main PC

[fleet widget]

oh for streaming applications

theres more options

https://www.howtogeek.com/200319/5-ways-to-stream-a-game-from-another-computer-or-the-cloud/

for example if you're using nvidia gpus, you can use their streaming

[granite temple]

I use AMD

whoops

[fleet widget]

well check that link for other ways

[granite temple]

looking now

[fleet widget]

all of my applications work

[granite temple]

even Forza?

[fleet widget]

i dont have forza

also i dont need to stream forza lol

[granite temple]

oh bruh

oh well haha. a second GPU is coming eventually

unless my RX 480 is still alive

it used to have some artifacting. but idk if it was the GPU that caused it

[fleet widget]

it mightve been but also,

did you try streaming other games besides forza

[granite temple]

yes

well, just Destiny

but I don't doubt the other that other games work

[fleet widget]

when you put in new gpu, try streaming it again. maybe no gpu was issue

[granite temple]

possibly. I'll do that tomorrow. it's a little late

[fleet widget]

How can I use UDPixel on my Rift S? I just noticed a dead pixel and I'd like to try that before requesting a return.

It's currently just flashing on my main monitor (left side).

the quest has a delay apparently when attached to pc, and the rift s still runs a ton smoother

[halcyon fossil]

i didnt know about it when we were discussing it tho

[fleet widget]

me either but it made my choice easier.

im still going to test both though

Can anyone help me out?

here's whats wrong, I play VrChat and since a few days ago ive had an issue where no matter what i try the game doesn't seem to be running on my GPU, as soon as it opens im stuck at 10fps even in my home world by myself. Ive uninstalled it and install it, try setting it up on 3D settings so it uses my GPU, opening it up via task manager and it just wont work\

I really wanna play it again...I forgot to mention that it does this in VR and Desktop mode

plz mention me if you wanna get my attention

[halcyon fossil]
