[muted patio]

Such a nice case

Good flow

[heavy marsh]

P500A yes

[cloud depot]

is it bigger

[heavy marsh]

its thinner

[muted patio]

I have a pic

stand by

[heavy marsh]

but good

[muted patio]

3070

360mm AIO on the top

Plenty of room

Everything so cold

[cloud depot]

ok cool

[heavy marsh]

phanteks and coolermaster have the best airflow imo

[muted patio]

CPU idles 30C

[sharp blade]

What cpu?

[muted patio]

3700x

[pliant lake]

Hows the GPU against the glass?

[cloud depot]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gargoylestatue/saved/xtRvjX

[muted patio]

I've got about 2.5"

Plenty of room

GPU is 65C max load

I also have 3x140mm intake fans lol

[heavy marsh]

i have an mb511 and my cpu idles at 35c (new build with with ryzen 9 and 3080)

[cloud depot]

ok im in Farenhieght everyone

[heavy marsh]

uh...

[cloud depot]

im an iddiot american lol

[muted patio]

oh

PC temps measured in C

It's just how it is LOL

[heavy marsh]

i use the metric system sooooo

[cloud depot]

one moment

[heavy marsh]

pc's use the metric system

[cloud depot]

86f

ik i am slowly learning

ok. now the hardest part. sound cards wired network stuff

[muted patio]

Motherboard has all that

[heavy marsh]

i mean with the o11 you could have 2 aio's one as a gpu aio

[muted patio]

Ethernet, sound, everything

[cloud depot]

oh it does. ok didnt know

[heavy marsh]

old pc's needed those

[cloud depot]

how would i do that

do i need that or wil ltemps be ok

[heavy marsh]

the side mounted fan/aio slot

its optional but gpu temps get very low in my experience

[cloud depot]

ok. i didnt know there was so many diffeant thermal compants

componds

[heavy marsh]

compounds?

[cloud depot]

thermal compond/paste

[muted patio]

AIO will come with compound

pre-applied

If you don't want to use that though, Arctic Silver MX-4 or MX-5

[cloud depot]

ahh ok.sorry to ask again how many fans will i need

[heavy marsh]

sometimes it doesnt

[muted patio]

Oh, for the Phanteks?

Or hte lian li

[cloud depot]

yeah

phanteks

[muted patio]

AIO is 360mm right?

So 4 more fans.

[heavy marsh]

phanteks at least... 6-7

[muted patio]

since the AIO will come with 3

[heavy marsh]

p500a comes with two fans right?

[cloud depot]

and corsair fans

[muted patio]

Yeah but

They aren't the greatest

I'd replace them with something better

[heavy marsh]

true

[cloud depot]

and what size fans

[heavy marsh]

120mm is perfect for anything tbh

[muted patio]

I run 140mm in the front, so 3 of those

[ebon wing]

4000X could work

[muted patio]

and a 120mm for the back

[ebon wing]

corsair fan

[heavy marsh]

nf p12 redux best airflow from what i know

[cloud depot]

1 120 back?

[muted patio]

Yea

Use the AIO at the top for exhaust

and front for intake

[cloud depot]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gargoylestatue/saved/xtRvjX

is this everything

[cloud depot]

so rad on top to pull air out and fronts to pull air in

[muted patio]

Yep

[cloud depot]

so for price range this is good first build

[muted patio]

Are you replacing the cans on the AIO with RGB ones?

*fans

[cloud depot]

do you recommend i do. idc i just went with highest rated oens

ones

[muted patio]

Well, they're RGB

Extra money for nothing lol

[cloud depot]

ahh one moment there are so many it over welming

[muted patio]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dCdFf7/corsair-co-9050044-ww-970-cfm-140mm-fans-co-9050044-ww

3 of those

[cloud depot]

and the 120.

[muted patio]

yeah

[cloud depot]

also how the hell do you do this so easily and quicklyu

[muted patio]

Well

Honest truth

Been doing this for 20+ years now

I'm older. 😉

[cloud depot]

ohh makes sense. im only 25

so i got tw 120 mm fans and 4 becuase of 2 packs of the 140. just in case

[muted patio]

Sure!

[cloud depot]

ok cool. and its under 3k

i got the arctic silver 5 high density polysynthetic is that the one you were talking about for thermal paste

[heavy marsh]

damn

[muted patio]

LOL

my first PC was a Pentium 66

[heavy marsh]

also sorry i left, i helped the best i could tbh vintage took care of the rest

[muted patio]

All good

[heavy marsh]

[cloud depot]

my last post it that the thermal paste you recommended @muted patio

[muted patio]

That'll work

[cloud depot]

also @heavy marsh should i try for a bigger gpu or is that good

[heavy marsh]

for me the reason i know how to do stuff quickly kinda like vintage is because its my job and i worked my ass of for 2 years using monke bran to lern computur

[cloud depot]

cant type it seems

lol jk

[heavy marsh]

i mean as long as it fits i guess but i dont think there really is a reason to change

[cloud depot]

ok. cool

[heavy marsh]

wait the case u chose comes with enough front fans tbh

[cloud depot]

yeah rgb makes thing way to expensive i dont care about it. i like preformace and ability. so thanks everyone especially vintage and cyro

[cloud depot]

vintage said it would be smart to replace them due to the arnt the best

[heavy marsh]

the nf p12 redux would perform better i think

[cloud depot]

u want to see the final build cyro

[heavy marsh]

noctua fans btw

i saw the list

[cloud depot]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gargoylestatue/saved/xtRvjX

this one. differant fans then the rgb ones

final build. this is awsome. now once i get everything is the build process. and not lossing my mind

[heavy marsh]

you have 4 140mm and 2 120mm

?

[cloud depot]

because they 2 packs

i would rather have extras and not need them and have to on hand though

[heavy marsh]

the aio comes with good fans i think

[muted patio]

Ye

3 front 140mm

and one rear 120mm

with an extra of each

[heavy marsh]

ah ok

[cloud depot]

what vintage said lol

[heavy marsh]

tho u could get the nf p12 redux and the nf p14 redux

[cloud depot]

im just glad in under 3k. so far better than my 4k buget

[heavy marsh]

pretty good airflow from what i have seen

[gusty abyss]

140mm fans on a 360m rad?

[heavy marsh]

120mm

140mm front fans

[cloud depot]

no rad will be on top

[gusty abyss]

oh you're gonna push pull

oh OH oh nvm

[cloud depot]

yeah top to pull out front to push in

[gusty abyss]

didn't realize you weren't counting aio fans earlier

[cloud depot]

that what vintage said

[heavy marsh]

aio has included fans

[cloud depot]

since im really under buget i may go 3 monito. and mounts.

instead of 2

[heavy marsh]

2 monitors for fps games? tf

[cloud depot]

i do alot of other things while gaming.

[heavy marsh]

the crosshair gonna be on one side

[gusty abyss]

I don't envy the cable management job you're gonna have lmao

[muted patio]

Oh

[cloud depot]

lolol ik. slappy especially for first build

[muted patio]

The Phanteks cable management is SOOO NICE

Oh wait!

[heavy marsh]

i had to give a client straight cables once...

[muted patio]

You need one more thing

[cloud depot]

no one monitor for game two others for admin stuff

[muted patio]

https://www.amazon.com/DEEPCOOL-FH-10-Integrated-Occupying-Motherboard/dp/B077YHLDSP

[cloud depot]

what

[muted patio]

Need something to plug all thos fans into!

[gusty abyss]

that actually would be pretty godlike for you yeah

[heavy marsh]

bruh do W I D E gamining

[cloud depot]

i dont like curved monitors.

[muted patio]

Motherboard doesn't have enough fan headers for 7 fans

Need a fan hub!

[gusty abyss]

I forget if the corsair 2-packs come with lighting nodes

[cloud depot]

ahh ok thank you

[muted patio]

Also

Cable management so nice in the phanteks

[heavy marsh]

imagine that sort of cm but the cables had to be side by side AND STRAIGHT, thats what a client wanted

🥲

[muted patio]

No

They never see them anyway

[heavy marsh]

they wanted a diff case

both panels were glass

[muted patio]

gross

y

NO

lol

[heavy marsh]

ikr

[gusty abyss]

every good case needs a cable dungeon!

[cloud depot]

i have an msi 1920x1080 144htz top monitor right now

[heavy marsh]

cable ramen

[cloud depot]

so 2 more monitors and mointing brackets for them

[heavy marsh]

four monitors lmao, one in mid, 2 on sides, one above mid

[cloud depot]

so 3.

i using a laptop right now

its the second monitor to a laptop currenty

[heavy marsh]

currently using a tri monitor setup

[cloud depot]

https://www.newegg.com/black-msi-optix-mag273r-27/p/N82E16824475066?Item=N82E16824475066

[heavy marsh]

thinking of getting two samsung g9's one for mid and one above mid and i want to make the two i had on the sides verticle for discord reading and stream chat reading

[cloud depot]

that the monitor i bought on black friday

[heavy marsh]

not bad

[cloud depot]

so to ask about monitor and that should i go to peripherals

[halcyon edge]

guys does the cpu cooler work with this build

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d6H4wz

[heavy marsh]

gonna do something like this but both mid monitors are gonna be samsung g9's

[cloud depot]

cool. i wanna stay with flat/straught monitors. personal. i cant do curved . i move way to much

[heavy marsh]

im gonna 7.1 surround sound my gaming room (basement room)

why? because i can

[cloud depot]

im honestly thinking of doing external mic and seperate headset for the build.

[heavy marsh]

get a hyper x quadcast, its a good mic

[cloud depot]

idk. about mic. i do want a pair of steinhausers though. they seem big and confy

with good sound

[heavy marsh]

sennheiser has really good audio quality

[cloud depot]

yeah. playing tarkov has ruined me for basic headsets with mics. it sucks

[heavy marsh]

but the logitech g pro headsets also sound nice and are probs more comfy

if you want peripheral help go to #peripherals-and-displays the experts live there

[cloud depot]

i using a razer kraken tournament edition. and i love how big and confy they are.

[heavy marsh]

what mouse and keeb u rockin tho?

[cloud depot]

k95 cosair keyboard.

[heavy marsh]

mouse?

[cloud depot]

one moment

[heavy marsh]

aight

[cloud depot]

corsair ironclaw rgb.

hate that for aobutt 2 years

it is big and one one issue i have is the side mesh type thing i hate

does periperals cover everything from m & k and monitors and all that

[heavy marsh]

first off, get rid of the mouse

[cloud depot]

pretty much everything except pc itself

[heavy marsh]

#old-monitors-and-tv for monitors and tvs

[cloud depot]

i like the size i really do. i bought i for a reason

only problem i have is the mess side on it

[heavy marsh]

#old-cooling for well yeah

[cloud depot]

other than that i love the mouse i have

[heavy marsh]

bruh just get a deathadder

same size and such

[cloud depot]

i will be looking into a new on. and i heard good things about thoughs. and ik they come wired to

[heavy marsh]

way more worth

[cloud depot]

do thoughs have the two side buttons also

[heavy marsh]

yes

[cloud depot]

ok. that and the thumb rest were my main thing

[heavy marsh]

razer deathadder v2 is awsome

deathadder has no thumb rest

[cloud depot]

i have a bad habit of bearing my thumb and pinky down when i get tense in gaming and that thumb rest really helps keep me from doing that as much

[heavy marsh]

get a razer basilisk v2 then

[cloud depot]

does it have that mesh crap

[still roost]

cyroVR#2245 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cloud depot]

what lol

[heavy marsh]

no bullcrap

just MOUSE

that mouse or logitech g50w

g502

[cloud depot]

that razer looks small

honestly the mouse i got still feels a little small

[heavy marsh]

its actually bigger than the deathadder v2 lmao

[cloud depot]

ok

[heavy marsh]

both mice are amazing tho

g502 and basilisk

[cloud depot]

so just making sure the #peripherals-and-displays would definatly be able to help with external mic and headset and all that fun stuff

[heavy marsh]

there is a basilisk ultimate which is wireless and comes with that charging dock i think

[cloud depot]

i dont want wireless.

i would happily deal with cables

[heavy marsh]

if drag is an issue for you then get a bungee

[cloud depot]

no drag aint. its size

may i send you a private message

[heavy marsh]

sure

[lime forge]

If you have a medium to largeish hand, the curves on the Basilisk will feel like a natural fit. (Or at least to me it does in both palm and fingertip grips.)
It won't feel big, but it also won't feel small. Which is what I guess is what they were going for.
In terms of feel, the big difference between the Deathadder and the Basilisk is that the peak of the palm swell of the Deathadder is more toward the center, and the Basilisk is shifted towards the back.
It's a personal preference thing.

I used to have that same pinky and thumb issue with my crappy Dell mouse, and I've never had it on either the Basilisk or the Corsair Nightsword. (Own and love both of those.)

The Deathadder feels nice, but it lacks a that "sniper" button on the side. (only has the two side buttons instead of three.)
For me that's a dealbreaker, but everyone has different needs.

[viral rover]

eeeeeee

[cloud depot]

thanks @lime forge i dont want the third button i ok with just two on the side

[vapid bay]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w2Nvvf

not that of an upgradable setup, but it could probably go well with most games

gonna make these last for ummm

6 years?

[tough kettle]

well the PSU is garbage

so are the fans

@vapid bay

[little osprey]

1650s should be ok with 450w 🤔

[scarlet glade]

that's perfect..

[little osprey]

Yeah

I used a 450w with my brothers 5500xt

As long are you’re not overclocking a 10900k with it

You’ll be fine

[gleaming quartz]

im honestly scared to overclock my 3800x since i only have 600w at my disposal

where the recommended psu for my gpu is like 650w something

[still roost]

NewBee117#8400 has been warned

Reason: Duplicated text

[marsh gorge]

i finally benchmarked my pc and it turned out pretty epic, any ideas on how to improve HDD rating?

[little osprey]

that's a lot of fans...with no case ?

[little osprey]

ubm yikes..

[marsh gorge]

yikes? oh no

[little osprey]

not your drive performance, just the website itself

[marsh gorge]

ah

yeah ik

[little osprey]

you're drive should be fine, crystaldisk is a good software to test drives. but if you're worried about its performance u could try and defragment it through windows explorer.

[marsh gorge]

ive run a cinebench but didnt know the best benchmark to use for my gpu

its only 2 weeks old so im sure its fine

[little osprey]

just run unigen heaven or 3d mark time spy. they're free benchmarking tools

[marsh gorge]

cool ty

[little osprey]

unigen heaven might take a bit, same goes for time spy

[stoic island]

@marsh gorge UB isn't good for relative performance so

just leave it alone there

[marsh gorge]

ah okay

[stoic island]

I like Unigen heaven/superposition because they're more "free" than the 3dmark demos

[frozen axle]

my gpu seems to idle at 60 is this an issue?

feels a bit high

[stoic island]

idle temps don't matter

go put it under furmark

[crude pecan]

What I do @frozen axle is just play a big game and if your gpu has the software turn the fan up

[frozen axle]

alright

[vapid bay]

nop the case is not in the pcpp and it's a kinda known local brand so i didn't include it

[vapid bay]

how bad could that be? that build doesn't even look like i'll try to oc it neither push it to its limits. i dunno which fans to get tbh

and no, not noctua

i'm trying to not hit the $833.3333333333333 price point

[civic tusk]

Arctic p12's

They are cheap enough and actually good quality

[vapid bay]

ok i'll see if i can find one here

[civic tusk]

If you can get the p12 pwm pst co versions

[fair birch]

oh yeah arctic has some rlly good chep fans

[vapid bay]

btw how bad the psu could be?

[civic tusk]

Like awful

[vapid bay]

oh i see

so what psu then

[civic tusk]

Cheap poorly built group regulated design

Get the segotep gp600 if you want a cheap psu

Or corsair cx450/cx550

Just dont get the cv that you are looking at

[vapid bay]

oh ok ic

[granite linden]

Hey has the best money to performance $700 build been changed at all since I last was here?

[wanton cliff]

that depends

when were you last here?

@granite linden

[granite linden]

Uh lemme check

Back in mid November

@wanton cliff

[wanton cliff]

then somewhat, yes

[granite linden]

Got a link?

[wanton cliff]

to what?

[granite linden]

The build lol

[wanton cliff]

oh

[granite linden]

I am not the greatest when it comes to building one, although I know my way around and what does what

[wanton cliff]

no one has made a build like that in a while

[granite linden]

Aw I see

[wanton cliff]

a video that is

just generally, with new parts coming out, the best price - performance build changes wildly

[crude pecan]

@next kestrel what case is that?

[next kestrel]

idk, i got it for 10$ on offerup

[steep nimbus]

can someone make a pc on partpicker under $900 it has to be amd.

[wanton cliff]

for?

gaming? video editing?

and why does it have to be amd?

[steep nimbus]

gaming

amd is improving every year, intel on the otherhand is not

[blazing aurora]

10400f is a compelling option for value right now

[wanton cliff]

this generation was the last of the AM4 CPUs

next generation is going to need a new motherboard and new RAM

for DDR5

[steep nimbus]

am4

[wanton cliff]

the socket that AMD has been using for a while now

im not saying its bad but this was the last year for AM4

so if you arent going to upgrade for a few years, I would get AMD, but if you plan on upgrading soon, get Intel

@steep nimbus ?

[visual narwhal]

opinion on rosewell cases

[wanton cliff]

good, but you can go better usually

[visual narwhal]

like?

[wanton cliff]

what price point?

[visual narwhal]

around a 100

[wanton cliff]

p400a digital

[visual narwhal]

Newegg?

[muted patio]

$100? P500A too

[wanton cliff]

was looking at the one on amazon

yeah what Vintage said as well

[visual narwhal]

starting a rebuild

amd

[wanton cliff]

why does everyone want to go AMD

#building-and-recc-chat message

[visual narwhal]

ive been on the amds for over 30 years

[steep nimbus]

so ur 35 yr

[visual narwhal]

63

[steep nimbus]

really

u served the navy

[next kestrel]

idk

same amount of new cpus

AMD allows sidegrades for more cores as well if you get something like a 5600x and stop gaming

and intel 1200 is done as well

[blazing aurora]

amd fanboying/herd mentality

[little osprey]

Can someone help

When I use a custom res my monitor refuses to get fully stretched and my games stays native

I have a rx479

470*

[muted patio]

what custom res?

[little osprey]

Any

I tried so many resolutions

my monitor refuses to get fully stretched

[muted patio]

What resolution is your monitor?

[little osprey]

1920

My native is 1920

[muted patio]

So set it to that, what happens?

[little osprey]

it goes to native

But when I use custom res, my monitor gets a lil bit stretched

But not fully

And my games stays native

Like fortnite

[muted patio]

Well, yeah, that's what happens with a custom resolution

The panel is 1920x1080

So any other resolution will look a bit funny

[little osprey]

Some popular fortnite youtuber made a vid about how to get stretched res yesterday

And I did all the steps, and my fortnite is still native

[muted patio]

Change the resolution in the game

[little osprey]

And my desktop doesn’t get as stretched as his

I did

[muted patio]

not the desktop

[little osprey]

I did

Is it because I use a hdmi?

or because I have a 60hz monitor

[muted patio]

No, that has nothing to do with it

IDK honestly what you're trying to do

Sounds more like FOV to me

In the game

[little osprey]

ok so

This guy made a tutorial on how to get stretched res

I did all the steps

My monitor refuses to become stretched

And my game refuses to become stretch

[muted patio]

Why stretched res? Trying to increase field of view?

[little osprey]

Nah

I just like it

it makes me aim and edit better

And I don’t like thin games

[muted patio]

Well, 1920x1080 isn't a stretched resolution though

[little osprey]

No i said 1920 is my native

Not the res I’m trying to use

I’m trying to use 1722x1070

I created that custom res and selected it on my display settings

then my screen gets a lik stretched

But not much

[spark agate]

Hi, new to PC gaming here. I want to build an iRacing Sim (don't plan to do much other gaming) and am looking for PC advice. I see Newegg has 2 ABS Master Gaming PC's, one for $1,100 with a Ryzen 5, 3600x and for $1,400 a Ryzen 7 with a Rezen 7 with a 3700x. I plan to use Oculus 2 Vir headset. Is it really worth it to buy the 3700 over the 3600? Will I really see a difference?

[little osprey]

[little osprey]

That’s how I feel right now

I swear

It’s getting on my nerves

[little osprey]

why are you decreasing the resolution?

[muted patio]

I mean, that's not how things work lol

[little osprey]

It’s stretched res

[muted patio]

Trying to widescreen fortnight on a 1080p monitor

[little osprey]

bro

hold on

[little osprey]

Bruh

Can’t send links here

Goddam

He has a 1920

and he made a custom res (1722)

And look how stretched his fortnite is

Mine refuses to become stretched

Do I need to update my drivers? Or reinstall

i think he is using the ingame res
not the monitor

Nah

That used to be the old method

but fortnite banned stretched res , so we have to use this method

You see how stretched his monitor is?

mine isn’t like that

[muted patio]

I mean

[little osprey]

I don’t know why the picture shows black bars

but anyways

My monitor refuses to become fully stretched

the only way i known to get it sorta stretched would be changing the aspect ratio

to what

4:3?

This is annoying

[muted patio]

he also did this on nVidia, not AMD

[wanton cliff]

21:9?

[muted patio]

No

[little osprey]

Nooo

[muted patio]

SOme weird 1770x1080 resolution

on a 1080p panel

[little osprey]

You don’t understand

[wanton cliff]

ah

[little osprey]

He didn’t use nvidia to get the res

[muted patio]

I'm literally watching the video!!!

[little osprey]

He uses that to make it display

Scaling

[muted patio]

And yeah, he used Aspect ratio in the nVidia settings to do it

[little osprey]

I can do that on amd

lol just play you native res instead, adapt to monitor res.

He uses custom resolution utility

Aka cru

[muted patio]

heh, I'll bet fortnight blocked that app

[little osprey]

How

They can’t

[muted patio]

They can force resolutions in the game

Oh yes they can

[little osprey]

but my friend still uses the stretched res

He did that method yesterday

And it worked for him

And he has a rx570

I’m getting mad

No cap

this is annoying as hell

@muted patio is it some kind of driver problem?

should I try updating my drivers , because I don’t update drivers

[muted patio]

I have no idea, to be honest this whole thing seems silly

[little osprey]

:/

[muted patio]

I mean

[little osprey]

so no one knows how to fix it

[muted patio]

This isn't going to make you a better player

[little osprey]

well

It does

1. I don’t like thin games, 2. My aim and editing is way better on stretched

3. Native looks ugly

[muted patio]

I mean, CRU is from 2012

[little osprey]

It doesn’t matter

All that matters is everyone is using it

And it works

Why is my monitor refusing to work

[hollow grail]

@celest horizon lul

didnt wanna spam #general-chat with it

[little osprey]

I’m actually done with life

I always have the worst luck

Nothing works right for me

[hollow grail]

what are you trying to do?

[balmy patio]

storage woman will help

dw

[little osprey]

Stretched res

[wanton cliff]

he is trying to do stretch resolution for fortnite on a 1770x1080 monitor or somthing like that

[hollow grail]

thats dumb

[little osprey]

bro

[hollow grail]

dont do that

[little osprey]

I never asked if it was dumb or not

[hollow grail]

just get used to native res

[little osprey]

No

[hollow grail]

then suffer i guess

[little osprey]

Why is this happening to me

It works for everyone

Like goddam

[hollow grail]

fr just get used to native

[little osprey]

I’m already used to it

[hollow grail]

doing weird stuff just messes up ur aim in the long run

[little osprey]

Nah

My aim and editing is way better on stretched

[hollow grail]

literally yes i used to be a semi pro fps player

stretched res is dumb and anything you see it just placebo

[little osprey]

ok let’s not talk about fortnite

do you know how to fix my monitor

[hollow grail]

fortnite is aids asf

but

what monitor and what utility

and what gpu

[little osprey]

It’s a 60hz monitor

from onn

and rx470

[hollow grail]

oof lol

[little osprey]

Core i5 4590

[stoic island]

Aim stretched res works for me

[hollow grail]

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-032

[little osprey]

Stretched res works for you?

[wanton cliff]

we both play TitanFall. I play with a Kraber. the deal is that this is the game where aiming and hitting a shot within a millisecond matters. We know what we are talking about. you need perfect resolution, perfect monitor, nothing messed up, or you are dead.

[hollow grail]

based

sara is kraber nerd tho

flatline for life

[muted patio]

Fortnight disabled the regular display changes

[wanton cliff]

stfu

[little osprey]

Amd is horrible with custom res

[muted patio]

So now there's some weird program people are using

[hollow grail]

i have literally never fixed my scoped sens

so i cant use kraber

[stoic island]

Siege stretched res matters because it's 1 pixel peek vs 2 pixel peek

[little osprey]

@hollow grail I tried to use amd but as I said no matter what I do my monitor refuses to become fully stretched

[hollow grail]

yeah tactical stuff benefits from it

not twitchy stuff

[stoic island]

Like other than literally stretching the pixels out

So you can see them

[little osprey]

it literally refuses stretched

[stoic island]

I don't know what else stretched can do

[hollow grail]

like your monitor refuses it?

[little osprey]

it becomes a lil bit stretched

But not fully stretched

Like it should

[hollow grail]

controller on display might not like your shenanigans

[little osprey]

like 1440x1080 is supposed to be so stretched

and when I use it

My monitor looks stretched and native combines

combined*

[hollow grail]

monitor is prolly fixing itself

[little osprey]

is it a driver provlem

problem*

should I try reinstalling windows?

I have a lot of driver updates but I don’t do them

[hollow grail]

i mean u should be up to date driver wise no matter what

[little osprey]

If you find a way to fix my trash monitor

Please ping me

[muted patio]

fortnight disabled stretched reesolutions. So now people are using some Registry editor program to force it

https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

[little osprey]

yea

I know

I said that

[muted patio]

That's for lili

[little osprey]

oh

[muted patio]

because you left that out

[hollow grail]

oh interesting lol

[little osprey]

here

[hollow grail]

well it seems like your display just doesnt like stretched res

[little osprey]

Hold on

Can I screen share to you?

maybe you will understand better

[hollow grail]

which is unfortunate i guess

[hushed pollen]

that's what I told em

[hollow grail]

you were right then

[little osprey]

what kind of monitor doesn’t like stretched

🤔

[hushed pollen]

it's just a compatibility thing man

[hollow grail]

from what im understanding the issue isnt with software

i could be wrong tho

[little osprey]

Imma write everything I do

1.I create res in cru

[hushed pollen]

very few people here use that

[little osprey]

2.I choose that resolution in my display

[hollow grail]

if cru works

[little osprey]

3.my monitor becomes a lil stretched

[hollow grail]

then the issue is with your display

[little osprey]

4.my fortnite stays native

bruh

[hushed pollen]

so fortnite's ability to prevent it has improved

[little osprey]

My life sucks now

[hushed pollen]

because fortnite clearly doesn't want you doing that

[little osprey]

I always have the worst stuff

[hushed pollen]

it's literally just a fortnite cheat tf

[hollow grail]

literally just sounds like their anti cheat is functional lol

[hushed pollen]

lmao

[muted patio]

Yup

[little osprey]

well if my dumb monitor stops refusing stretched

It would work

[hushed pollen]

if it works in the first place

and not on fortnite

it's fortnite preventing it

[hollow grail]

who will win: literal game engine dev vs one dev making hacktool in their spare time

[hushed pollen]

try other games

[hollow grail]

[hushed pollen]

definitely hacktool dev obviously

cmon man

[hollow grail]

oh true

[hushed pollen]

he's just

built different

[little osprey]

It says it’s on the stretched res but it really isn’t

[hollow grail]

hes too powerful

[hushed pollen]

don't use fullscreen

[little osprey]

...

[hushed pollen]

use fullscreen windowed

[little osprey]

hell no

[hushed pollen]

ok then

[little osprey]

Who uses that

I already tried it tho

[hollow grail]

gamers

[little osprey]

It doesn’t fix it

[hushed pollen]

Who uses this stretch tool in the first place

[little osprey]

Fortnite pros

And other gamers

[hushed pollen]

cap

pros play legit bruh

[little osprey]

no cap

[hushed pollen]

the hacktool is against Epic's TOS if they're counting it as a cheat and trying to prevent it

which means, pros won't be using it

because it'll get them BANNED

[little osprey]

This is a pro popular fortnite player, and he is using it

[hushed pollen]

from Twitch, or anything

that looks awful

[little osprey]

No

[muted patio]

That video was made a month ago

[little osprey]

You can’t get banned for stretched

[muted patio]

Fortnight probs updated it and blocked it again

[hushed pollen]

where we droppin boys

[muted patio]

"A new rule about screen resolutions in Fortnite: Battle Royale competitions has been the target of criticism by professional players. Epic Games has announced that it has locked the screen resolution to native 16:9 for PC players in Arena Mode and other online Fortnite competitions, which means players can’t use stretched resolution from now on."

[little osprey]

Fortnite only banned stretched fov

Now when you use stretched you don’t get fov advantages

[hushed pollen]

then

what are you trying to do

seems pointless

decrease your horizontal/vertical DPI instead if it's a hitbox thing

[little osprey]

oh my god

I can’t explain no further

My brain is exploding

[hushed pollen]

it's a fortnite cheat. that's literally it

[little osprey]

I’m not only talking about fortnite

[hushed pollen]

see what this guy said

[little osprey]

I’m talking about my whole monitor

[hushed pollen]

you said it works before opening fortnite

[little osprey]

yea

[muted patio]

And then fortnite is native

[little osprey]

and I said it doesn’t get fully stretched

[hushed pollen]

then use windowed fullscreen

and see if that works

[little osprey]

I did

it doesn’t

[hushed pollen]

so it's probably blocking it

[little osprey]

Imma go check if they updated it

Rn

Brb*

[muted patio]

I doubt it will be in the patch notes lol

1 GB update yesterday

[little osprey]

They don’t do patch notes anymore

Lol

[little osprey]

Yea

That was for the new skin tournament

Which I lost because of native

I was 13 points away from winning

[glacial umbra]

why is there an argument over stretched res in fortnite going on?

[little osprey]

you need to place top 1,750 to get the skin and I place top 1,799

[glacial umbra]

what a weird place to have this

[little osprey]

Because

My monitor is dumb

[muted patio]

Dood

[glacial umbra]

hm

[muted patio]

If your monitor sctretches but fortnight is native

[little osprey]

don’t

[muted patio]

They probs broke it again

[little osprey]

Just don’t

no

My friend uses it

It works for him

[glacial umbra]

🍿 one second

popcorn isn't quite ready yet

[little osprey]

Imma just go cry myself to sleep

I hope I die in my sleep

I don’t wanna wake up

I can’t handle this dumb monitor

[glacial umbra]

once i get a job im getting myself a whole new PC

man

first build wasn't enough

i need mooore

[little osprey]

Same

Imma work this summer

[glacial umbra]

yeah thats the plan for me as well

gonna save up

[little osprey]

Imma buy a nvidia gpu

I’m done with amd

[glacial umbra]

buy a 3600 and a 3060 ti

[little osprey]

Garbage ass

Nah

Imma get a 2070

[glacial umbra]

they might be cheaper by then

who knows

[little osprey]

If they are

I’ll buy one

[glacial umbra]

yeah

[little osprey]

and imma make sure to get a good monitor

[muted patio]

2070 was discontinued last July

[glacial umbra]

used

[muted patio]

I wouldn't expect more

[glacial umbra]

its

[muted patio]

Gotta be used

[snow wagon]

I got a question regarding two specific upgrade options im facing. Just need to figure which should be first. So i have good ram, but its a tad on the slower side. HyperX Fury. 32gb 2666. My storage drive, is a 1tb 7200 hdd. I want to get faster ram and another ssd for my library. Would i benefit more IN THE SHORT RUN. Getting 3600mhz ram, or switching my hdd to an ssd.

[glacial umbra]

you can get a 240gb ssd for cheap

a sata one with a little bit of dram

and MLC

not the worst

[muted patio]

What CPU is the ram for?

[snow wagon]

I actually have on sitting to the side i would like another 1tb

[muted patio]

and what motherboard?

[little osprey]

My prebuilt was supposed to have a 1Tb HDd and I got a 500Hdd

😩

[snow wagon]

I have a wd green 240

[hollow grail]

bad

[snow wagon]

it was my boot and i upgraded to an m.2

[hollow grail]

dramless

[snow wagon]

Ah. well good thing its on a shelf

[muted patio]

What CPU and motherboard do you have that you want faster ram for?

[snow wagon]

lol

[hollow grail]

if youre booting from nvme

[snow wagon]

I have 10700kf and MSI z490. Just came from 9700f and B365

[cursive wharf]

just cuz it's M2 doesnt mean it's better

[hollow grail]

then id get ram upgrade depending on cpu

[muted patio]

Mmmm

[glacial umbra]

it kinda does

[hollow grail]

thats why i said nvme lol

[muted patio]

intel not much boost above 3200 but that would help actually.

[hollow grail]

what ssd is it exactly?

[glacial umbra]

doesn't need

[snow wagon]

Sabrent.

[hollow grail]

oh ur good then

[snow wagon]

the black one with blue lines lol

[little osprey]

My specs: 8 ram dual channel, core i5 4590, rx470, 500watts

Black zalman cas

[hollow grail]

yea ur fine on that front

[little osprey]

Horrible specs

No cap

[hollow grail]

depends, tbh i dont think most ppl need to game on ssd

hdd is fine for a lot of games

and is cheaper too lol

[snow wagon]

I would probably just get another one of those as it seems to be all good but i just didnt know which one i would notice more. And i do know it wont be much to notice to begin with

[little osprey]

My prebuilt supposed to have a 1Tb

I got a 500

😩

[muted patio]

Well, ram speed will help with FPS and doing other general things

So if you have an SSD, I'd do that next

[hollow grail]

^^^

[little osprey]

Ssd is only good for boot up

Doesn’t really improve FPS

[hushed pollen]

cap

[snow wagon]

So wait running a game of of an hdd strictly affects load times not performance

[muted patio]

Pretty much yeah

Ram speed will help with performance more than the SSD

[hushed pollen]

If a game loads while playing, it doesn't have to worry about the HDD being slow. SSDs have actually improved performance many times

[snow wagon]

dang i did not know that.

[hushed pollen]

Larger games such as GTA do that

[muted patio]

yeah, depends on the game and how they load things

[snow wagon]

Everytime i drop by im never led astray and vintageracer has been a helping hand everytime Thanks Yall!!!!

[hushed pollen]

But I will agree with Lili and say that HDDs are practical enough depending on the budget

I personally prefer higher storage to higher speed

When I first built my PC, I had a 2 tb hdd before I had an SSD of any sort out of preference

[little osprey]

Are you high on drugs

Ssd doesn’t improve performance

[wanton cliff]

yes it does

[hushed pollen]

It can in many instances

[white oyster]

@wanton cliff i am in fact getting a 580

[muted patio]

Lol, yeah it can

depends on how the game loads

[little osprey]

Welp

My life been a life

Lie*

🤝

[wanton cliff]

https://yantraas.com/does-ssd-improve-gaming-performance/

[hushed pollen]

This mostly applies to larger map games, though

[muted patio]

Yeah

[hushed pollen]

(such as GTA, Warzone, Fortnite)

[muted patio]

Open world large map type stuff

[hushed pollen]

Maybe Battlefield? I don't know how EA handles textures tbh

[wanton cliff]

didnt Dice do battlefield? EA is just a publisher

[hushed pollen]

True true

i'm monke

EA is listed as a developer beside of Dice, so maybe it's the Dice engine and EA does the work? I'm unsure (in BF1)

[little osprey]

Should I update to windows 10 2009

or whatever it’s called

20h2

Something like that

🤔

[wanton cliff]

furthermore, battlefield uses Frostbite AFAIK

[hushed pollen]

20h2 is disliked by like everyone from what I hear

[hushed pollen]

True again

I've not gotten to play enough Battlefield to really have everything down pat with that, I was making a guess due to map scales

[little osprey]

@hushed pollen lend me a 360hz monitor for a science experiment

🤔🤝

[hushed pollen]

I don't have one

those are expensive

[little osprey]

Send me 144

[wanton cliff]

i dont play battlefield lol

[hushed pollen]

no

xd

[little osprey]

SEND

ME

[hushed pollen]

omegalul

[wanton cliff]

im just knowledgable

[little osprey]

send me a 144hz and you will have the luckiest 70 years of your life

[hushed pollen]

chill

[little osprey]

when I bought the monitor I didn’t have a choice

[muted patio]

▶️ 9. No sweepstakes/giveaways, e-begging, trading or selling on this server.

[little osprey]

Because I only have a Walmart giftcard that had 80 bucks

And the monitor I bought was the cheapest

[hushed pollen]

bro

[little osprey]

(80bucks)

[hushed pollen]

read rule 9

vintage just posted it for ya

[little osprey]

It was a joke man

chill

[muted patio]

I have had zero issues with 20h2

You should update all your things

[little osprey]

You sure?

no performance loss?

[wanton cliff]

hes sure

he tests this kinda stuff all the time

[white oyster]

Whats a somewhat budget gpu

[urban trellis]

16 series

Rx 570 or 1650

[white oyster]

Im getting a 580 is that decent

[wanton cliff]

2060 will be a good budget GPU when the used market stabilizes

[muted patio]

If y'all want minds blown, check out this video lol. Even the 980TI is still very viable for 1080p today

[wanton cliff]

yeah

[muted patio]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s11U9eGRsFk

I watched last night, was surprised

[white oyster]

How much does a 2060 cost normally

[muted patio]

MSRP $300

But, if you want RTX, don't do it

FPS is oof with RTX on

[white oyster]

Idk what rtx is

[muted patio]

but for other gaming it's fine

ray tracing

[white oyster]

Nope

[wanton cliff]

RTX is an umbrella achitecture, more or less

[muted patio]

I mean

the 980TI still does 107 FPS in GTA @0180p lol

[wanton cliff]

thats not the exact definition but its close enough

Ray Tracing is not RTX

[muted patio]

72 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn

[white oyster]

See i dont know what any of that means

[hushed pollen]

Ray tracing isnt even worth it

[wanton cliff]

the only nvidia gpus that have hardware accelerated ray tracing are RTX GPUs

[wanton cliff]

arguable. Future of graphics imo.

[hushed pollen]

I mean true, but as of now, it's not worth the performance loss

[wanton cliff]

yeah

[pliant lake]

Have you seen 30 series?

[wanton cliff]

its definitely still in it's infant stages

[wanton cliff]

wait till you can hit normal FPS with it on. Then it will be worth.

[civic tusk]

Lovelace......

[muted patio]

I mean

My 3070 does pretty well with RTX on

[wanton cliff]

Next generation will be good, methinks

[pliant lake]

1080 its good, 1440p, probably needs a 3070, and 3080 for better FPS, and nothing does 4K yet

*without DLSS

[wanton cliff]

nothing does 4K well

[pliant lake]

Definitely not for ray tracing

[civic tusk]

Even non ray tracing 4k performance is meh in aaa titles

But depends on how demanding you are for fps

[wanton cliff]

Arguable. Ampere is pretty good.

you can get 120fps in a lot of games with a 3080.

[pliant lake]

Its pretty good with 30 series, many are able to play 4K 120fps+

[civic tusk]

not really 3080 is good that's it

and 3090 obviously

[white oyster]

Would the 2060 be an upgrade form a 580

?

[wanton cliff]

yes

[little osprey]

yep

[wanton cliff]

2060 super is about equivalent to a 5700xt, which is much better than a 580

[civic tusk]

no

5700xt is between a 2070 and 2070 super

[muted patio]

Ye

[little osprey]

2060s equivalent of 5700xt?

wut

[small osprey]

2060s is equivi to 5600xt

about

[civic tusk]

hmm yeah nearly 5600xt a little less

[pliant lake]

i would say thats debatable, 3070 can get 60fps in RDR2 4K High settings

[civic tusk]

What are the 1% lows

[pliant lake]

34

[little osprey]

isn't that the normal 2060 that is equivalent of 5600xt?

[civic tusk]

hmmmm yeah not great then

[pliant lake]

k

[civic tusk]

Personal preference this is

[civic tusk]

5600xt is slightly faster than a 2060

[latent storm]

should i just find and buy a 1080 ti

[wanton cliff]

nah

[civic tusk]

if you can get one for a good price sure

[wanton cliff]

3060Ti is much more worth

[latent storm]

what is a good price

[white oyster]

So 2060, 2070 5600xt, and 5700xt would all be upgrades?

[civic tusk]

< $350

[wanton cliff]

3060 non Ti then

[latent storm]

wasn’t it 700 msrp

[civic tusk]

1080ti should outperform a 3060 non ti

[wanton cliff]

since when?

[hollow grail]

1080ti STRONK

also 1080ti like $600 rn

[small osprey]

its around a 2060 iirc

the 3060

and 1080ti still goated

[hollow grail]

1080ti is like 2060 super or something

[latent storm]

i found a 1080ti fe for 500

[civic tusk]

Nah more like 2070 suiper

[wanton cliff]

yeah thats what I thought

[small osprey]

i think its 2070 ish

[hollow grail]

oh yeah 2070 my bad

id say just normal 2070 not super

[civic tusk]

Literally same as 2070 super

[wanton cliff]

hour 39

[hollow grail]

depends on game but yeah i guess close to 2070s

[wanton cliff]

and resolution

[latent storm]

but i don’t wanna pay for ray tracing when 20 series couldn’t even run it

[hollow grail]

i am the average 1080 enjoyer

[hollow grail]

my 2080 does rtx fine

[wanton cliff]

20 series was the first generation of ray tracing. Things were bound to go wrong.

[hollow grail]

i didnt get it for raytracing tho lol

nvenc is nice on it

[latent storm]

what game

[civic tusk]

Turing improved with ray tracing as dlss matured

[hollow grail]

when i get 3090 ill probs throw 2080 into render pc or something

[small osprey]

sell to me

[hollow grail]

control was nice

[latent storm]

when lol

[hollow grail]

so was cyberpunk

[wanton cliff]

durandal?

[hollow grail]

mayb

[wanton cliff]

go to lttstore.net please.

[small osprey]

.net ???

[latent storm]

found a strix 1080ti for 595

[latent storm]

hmm

[wanton cliff]

.net

[small osprey]

bad

[hollow grail]

i want to put it in lexi but idk if the psu will let me

[muted patio]

LMAO
