bus hustler posted:Does anyone actually find driving from place to place in an open world game fun? For a long time I didn't use the Fast Travel option in Need for Speed Payback just because it was so much chiller to not worry about actually having to race, but still having a goal (i.e. the place you actually want to get to), and you do end up seeing a lot more of the world (provided that the world is actually interesting). I think this was also a thing with that guy who deliberately played Anthem without flying except when absolutely necessary - there was a ton of "hidden" content that just gets skipped over entirely because flying was added in so late into the cycle that a lot of the environments had already been built without it in mind.

Paul MaudDib posted:I’ve always felt an ASIC was inevitable eventually but it seems like the smart time to do that would have been in 2018 when they introduced the Ultimate module. Especially when it ended up needing a loving fan to cool it. An asic with sufficient volume could have gotten costs under control, after all a normal monitor controller is just an ASIC too at the end of the day, but with the emergence of good certified GSync Compatible Implementations I guess it doesn’t really matter whether the chip comes from nvidia themselves or is just certified by them.) One possibility is that there's enough panel-to-panel implementation differences that a single "GSync chip" wouldn't be viable, and they'd have to make minorly different ASICs for each panel, which might have entirely eliminated the cost savings of doing volume ASIC vs FPGA. Or maybe they just read the writing on the wall and figures that the technical merits of true GSync weren't going to win out over the lower cost GSync Compatible models and semi-abandoned it.

bus hustler posted:Does anyone actually find driving from place to place in an open world game fun? I'll use fast travel throughout the first play through but if the game really catches my eye with its world and rewards exploration then I'll usually do a "no fast travel" play through where I just pick up the game, ride and do only a couple of things, then call it a day. I did this with both Breath of the Wild and, most recently, Ghost of Tsushima and it's a very relaxing time where you're just enjoying the world presented to you more than actually trying to complete the game. EDIT: lol i probably should have read the immediate sentence after the question!

If only there was a whimsical way to refer to this game as being a grossly overadvertised yet ultimately substandard product, perhaps drawing attention to its lengthy development time, by using its very namesake against it!

I ger where everyone is coming from but you shouldn't need to buy expensive RAM just for CoD Warzone?? AC Valhalla is so lovely its almost the exception that proves the rule. There are thousands of posts dating back all of 2020 saying "my hardware should crank at warzone and doesnt" "oh this fixed it" I just don't buy that everyone with a 3700x or worse AND 3200 MHz ram and slower has this issue. My friend plays on a zen1 1700 and doesn't complain about this, though she is looking at bumping the CPU. The game didnt run amazingly when I tried it but this is a major release that's incredibly popular, I don't think there are only 5-6 CPUs on the market that will run it super well.

I have a 2700x and changing the XMP profile on my RAM was what ultimately fixed the crashing issues I experienced in AC Valhalla, but I think that probably has more to do with the PC port being a horrible piece of crap.

I wouldn't so casually connect the issues though, they're totally different games. CoD Warzone's recommended specs (even if you call them underpowered, this isnt MINIMUM) are CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600X processor "Buy a 5600x and 3600 or 4000 MHz RAM" is a potential solution, but i think being kind, it's nowhere near what I'd tell someone to start with - to the point of getting angry with someone for suggesting "hey at least try this 10 second INI fix" because they're too stupid to know what they're talking about. maybe its true, we're all dumbasses much of the time, i dunno.

In RDR2 I sometimes enjoy just putting the horse in auto mode, too. Constantly being aware of enemies and opportunities while traveling is a big part of that game though. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Dec 6, 2020 |

I mean it doesn't have to be expensive RAM, you could go for the cheapo (but still fast) OLOy ram that I did, just know that there's probably gonna be some weirdness in setting it up Still don't really know why simply setting a XMP profile resulted in a no-boot scenario, but setting a XMP profile while also manually downclocking to a lower frequency then slowly inching it back up to the rated speed in 200mhz increments fixed things

Pivo posted:More like it over-allocates VRAM by default and this is a known issue which is why Cold War has a 'VRAM Usage Target' in the Graphics menu and turning it down helps 3080 owners. Not because 10GB isn't enough for 1440p, because devs are dumb and alloc a ratio like they're on a console rather than according to their needs. Thanks for the suggestion! I tried this out and it didn't work unfortunately. Still sitting at the same frames. Scarecow posted:Warzone is super memory dependent so alas there's not much more you can do about frames running a 3700x and 3200mhz ram So my RAM is CL16 and the timing is 16-18-18-38. I was hearing that 3200mhz RAM wasn't a very good match for Ryzen as well which I had no idea about. I'm probably just going to go buy some 3600mhz RAM and see if that fixes things. If not, I'll just return it.

They don't have warzone here but BFV is also pretty miserably optimized, right? Regardless it doesn't seem to be a huge difference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZQGR5IKv-o&t=435s edit: the main thing it shows is that 4133mhz is slower than 3800 because of the fabric clock thing, difference between 3200 and 3800 isn't too much

bus hustler posted:for all the hype of the new ones they still perform worse than the gpu i bought in feb 2019. Now that mid-cycle console upgrades are a thing, I think (at least from my anecdotal experience) a lot of the hype is much less about graphical performance and more about finally having respectable CPUs and fast SSDs as a baseline spec. The Jaguar CPU cores and spinning hard disks in the XB1 and PS4 really held back this prior generation.

From a PC perspective I'd say what they really did is hold back game-design. Having mid-2000s era CPU power on tap has been a crippling handicap on cross-platform game design, and as the last gen dies off we should hopefully see some much more interesting games.

I was hearing that 3200mhz RAM wasn't a very good match for Ryzen as well which I had no idea about. 3200 vs 3600 is a low single-digit gain at the same CL. It's often a 0% gain if you go down in CL (so 3200@14 vs 3600@16). "ZOMG u need 4000Mhz for zenb3!" is mostly e-dick-stroking nonsense. Yes, there are legit gains to be gotten at the ultra high-end, or by custom-tuning, but frankly it's still not a whole lot and those RAM kits are considerably more expensive. GN did a whole article on it: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3508-ryzen-3000-memory-benchmark-best-ram-fclk-uclock-mclock Unless you're getting super high-end RAM, the difference between anything else in the rest of the stack is <5%. e; basically you can expect that stepping up ~400Mhz is about the same as stepping down by 2 CL. But moving from 3200@16 to 3600@14 is probably only gonna get you a few frames, not the 30+ you're hoping for. DrDork fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Dec 6, 2020 |

bus hustler posted:Does anyone actually find driving from place to place in an open world game fun? Yeah, ever since Morrowind I have been tricked into the concept of ~the journey is the destination~ and will almost always avoid fast travel so I can see the world and if anything interesting happens along the way. Especially in what I'll call "Horse-RPGs" where your primary transportation has an autopilot that lets you enjoy the scenery. I also enjoy the dialogue scenes that usually play out during these travel segments for missions/quests. Basically, it's me: the guy who calls a taxi in GTA and then sits in the back for the ride rather than pressing Y to skip...

And that I've literally never had a single worry about my PSU being adequate through upgrades? No, but PCP&C got bought out by OCZ a while back, and no longer means what it once did. Seasonic still does, though. Also, nice Zippy reference, I remember them being mentioned in hushed whispers back in the day That said, for some reason Seasonic doesn't have a great SFX selection, which makes choice of those trickier. I went with Corsair (Great Wall) ones for my SFX builds.

It might be. But not at launch. It's a loving single player game from a studio known for uhh let's see : a game that had to be remade, another game that had to be remade, and a game that required quite a few patches. Don't rush into it.

I noticed the MSI software for lighting kept my 3080 lighting as I set it, even after uninstalling the software. Was curious if Afterburner did the same. I’m assuming it’s pretty lightweight and unobtrusive. I don’t like to have a billion utilities running in the background.

MSI Afterburner is one of the very few software that I don’t mind running in the background and hiding from the system tray. It’s lightweight and just works and if I want performance data I can quickly open an in-game overlay.

infinite99 posted:Thanks for the suggestion! I tried this out and it didn't work unfortunately. Still sitting at the same frames. Before spending money, you can often fairly straight forwardly overclock a 3200 MHZ to 3733 or 3800 while keeping CL16. I've got my 3200mhz 2x16GB CL16 Crucial Ballistix sticks (e-die) running at 3800 with tighter timings just fine which is really nice for like $75 32-gb ram. Some people even get 3200 running at 3900 just fine as well, and some have even had it running at 4000 albeit usually with a tCL drop. It's especially useful on Zen CPUs and not really too difficult. It does depend on your dram production. samsung b-die is generally the best but micron e-die is really good too. i would say just give a shot upping your memory clock multiplier to 36, set your memory clock frequency to 1800 mhz, and set infinity fabric/fclck frequency to 1800 (1:1 synchronous mem:IF). I'd prob suggest upping the voltages a bit just to make sure it's stable and then either tighten timings or lower the voltage. 1.4V on DRAM is safe and typical starting point, and may need to also go to 1.05-1.1V on VSOC which is safe as well but sometimes it's more than fine just getting bumped up without changing voltages. This is a good simple baseline guide: https://github.com/integralfx/MemTestHelper/blob/master/DDR4%20OC%20Guide.md#finding-a-baseline. Two programs you need just to run a quick test and see if it's looking good: OCCT (free) for IF stability checking (run the AVX CPU test), and some ram test, either karhu ramtest (paid) or testmem5 (free) is fine. usually if there's a problem, testmem5 with extreme profile hits it within 15 minutes.
