I'm not going to even touch this Halo MMO shit, even if given for free.

Wasn't Vega 64 supposed to compete with the 1080? What happened?

>>388642781
This. A lot of people try to shit on it but it was cheap and it's gotten the job done so far. My rig was also lucky enough to run Arkham Knight at launch with almost zero problems aside from the intended 30 fps.

Is cryptomining still sending GPU prices through the roof?

>>388642781
>>388642939
Because there's been no innovation in the 3 years that it's been out. Nvidia said publically they're delaying volta because vega is such a steaming pile of shit.

~Vega 56/1070

will it even run on a 670?

>>388644023
Yeah, just turn off Depth of Field or set it to the lowest. Apparently having the Depth of Field setting at it's highest causes 38% framerate hit.

>>388642516
So why exactly is this 30fps on XBOX and Pro?

Yes but AMD is about to release GPUs just for mining retards so they don't fuck over the market so there's some hope.

980ti @ 1440p non-OCd, I'm running into a little bit of FPS drops in the missions and strike. Lowest I've seen is about 30fps.

Turned shadow quality to medium and that seemed to fix everything, lowest has been around 80fps so far.

The market is gonna be completely over saturated and the prices will hit rock bottom. For card manufacturers that would be a nightmare so it makes sense that AMD would try to prevent that.

>>388642516
>buying scam: the sequel
It's so fucking bad that you can port your old characters. I mean, how is that a fucking new game? It's just more dlc split up so you can throw more money at them.
If you wait a year you can buy it for 10 shekels (not joking) since then they'll release "destiny 2: first season pass included edition" and then the year after that will become worthless because you can buy "destiny 2: first and second season pass edition". Have fun throwing 300 dollar at them while purchasing the same game 5 times, I'll happily wait 2 years so I can get everything for 5 bucks.

>>388645714

>>388642516
I have no idea why i bought a 1070, I only game on 1080p (144hz monitor though).

I was debating whether to get a 480 (or two) or a 1070, and when the 1070 was on sale for 330 while the 480 just came out at 200, I decided to just go with the 1070.

Wish i went with the 480, since those things are selling at insane prices, and I only game on 1080. Picked up an oculus rift bundle recently, but I heard 480 still runs that well

>>388657704
1070 is leagues ahead of the 480, i'm an amd fag so i'm not even being bias. also crossfire/sli sucks and will always suck.

1070 is literally the best card for 1080p/144Hz gaming. 480 is not enough without lowering details.

>>388658519
1080 for 4k
1070 for 1440p and 4k lite
1060 6GB for 1080p/60+

hell yeah, silky smooth on 1440p
not really interested in the game itself though

>>388658897
That is a lot more reasonable than I was expecting, I was preparing to spend double that

>>388659238
The whole "you need a 2k PC to play games properly" is just a meme.

Now the definition of a decent PC varies from person to person but if you're aiming for 1080p/60fps/highest or nearly highest settings in every game then you can easily get away with 800-900 dollars.

You have never viewed a 240hz monitor, so what are you basing this on?

I notice whenever a game accidentally rolls back to 144hz settings, it's easily noticeable.

Does the game have an fps counter? Couldnt find it and fraps wont work on it

>>388645006
Not even laptop, its apu meant for tablets and ultrabooks.

>>388649591
Poor game optimization.

>>388644525
Because supposedly the CPU can't keep up with the physics engines of the game so the frame rate is limited by that.
However when you consider that BF1 has destructible environments and heavy physics use yet still can hit 60fps, I think it's safe to say bungie is just shit at making games

>>388663334
>best benchmarked gpu
>93 fps on 1080p

It's a shooter. Who wants to play at 4k with 60 fps? Do you even know how terrible input lag is with just 60 fps? You need a minimum of 90 and anything below feels like floaty trash.

It's really simple to get 60+ FPS with a 580 GB if you run High settings at 1440p.

Just changing Depth of Field from Highest to High gains you like 20 something FPS.

>>388658301
While you're not wrong, the mining bullshit is not typical. You really should wait this time, gpus are way too inflated right now.

>>388658481
1070 has a much better value in price vs perf and isn't as big a power hog, will last many years at 1080p and stay viable at 1440p for at least a few, even pushing >60 refresh rates. Unless you have a 4k screen, in which case 1080.

You can overclock your 144hz monitor to 240hz or more, it just requires custom PCB. You'll have to order it from a hobbyist.

>And basically all say the same thing "there is not much difference but it will feel slightly better than 144hz".

Maybe it's because I play FPS at a high level but it's a huge difference for me, immediately noticeable if it's not enabled. Anyway here's a 144hz webm for your trouble.

Runs like a dream 150-200fps at 1080p but thats about the only thing it has going for it. I guess the artstyle can be appealing but the poor looking engine/modeling does it no justice imo.

Everything about this game feels shitty and bland to me and i cant see me playing this over Titanfall or Overwatch which have both vastly superior multiplayer.

Major red flags:

Features on the motherboard that you don't actually need. Tbh most people way overspend on motherboards, but don't get a bargain bin either, just be realistic. You don't need an extended length 4 PCI-E slot monster with "Xtreme" slapped on everything, even if you buy a $400 CPU and plan to overclock. Get a well featured ATX or mATX that has what you need and nothing more.

"Budget" power supplies... Seriously, invest in something good. Modular cables makes air flow and management so much easier, and get one that is at least 80+ gold certified. It'll cost a little more but this is actually worth it since you'll be putting in hundreds of dollars of sensitive components to it.

"Gamer" cases. No you don't need a side window or rgb up the ass unless you really want it. You don't need a behemoth case either, just get one long enough for your GPU and deep enough for your CPU cooler and you will be fine. People like to overspend on cases for aesthetics but come on it will be on the floor by your desk legs anyway.

"Gamer" RAM. You don't need a big fancy heat spreader on your RAM, in fact, many heat spreaders actually reduce cooling performance. Get RAM with the best specs per dollar. You don't need more than 16gb either.

When buying a GPU, more fans / bigger card is not necessarily better. Single fan GTX 1060 performs and cools as well as dual fan in most cases unless you live in a notably hotter climate. You don't need 3 fans on a 1070 or 1080 either, even when over clocking, as long as you get a good brand with good cooling solutions.

Lastly, for CPU, it's honestly up to you what you get, just make sure it's appropriate for your system.
Even people with a GTX 1080 rarely need more than what a top end Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor can provide esp if you over clock with a good cooler (unless you play lots of CPU intensive games).

>>388665526

Yeah, maybe that's an option I should explore, but I think I'd generally have a bad feeling buying used hardware.

>>388665542
>i'm scared of leaving home,cant get any money this way

You should probably see someone about that, anon.

>>388664107
Ah, yes, because 16x AA and maximum motion blur are surely more important than a higher resolution. Swap those settings out and you could still easily top 90fps 0.1% minimum at 1440p with a 1070. Resolution and FPS are more important than fancy post processing for a shooter, I'm not sure why you'd advocate for the opposite.

>>388666402
This.
I literally never use anything more then like x2 AA and turn off all the nasty stupid fucking cinematic experience garbage filters and shit. I want to play a game, not watch an interactive movie like some brain dead normie.

Ever since I've upgraded to an ultra HD monitor I've realised how much of a bandaid high AA really is. Going from 4x to 16x can be as big of a performance hit as going from 1080p to 1440p yet it looks worse so literally why do people do it.
Motion blur is rarely good looking in games anyway and makes high refresh rates look worse imo so I usually reduce or disable.

Gold is a meme, you're not at risk of frying your build if you choose a bronze.
The only reason to go gold is if you're running a mining rig or some other shit that's running 24/7 to save on your electricity bill.

>>388668382
The in-game FPS counter is inaccurate as fuck actually.

>>388665943
I appreciate the help, but I really don't know what you're saying here.
I'm not trying to build a PC, I just wanted to know what to avoid when purchasing a prebuilt one. Because I am an idiot on computer topics beyond Word and would most likely be swayed into buying something not worth buying.

>>388645714
>>388646472
I have the same model and I can run it on maximum at 60 provided the AA isn't on the highest one (forgot what it's called, I just used FXAA but the one above it works at 60FPS well)

>>388668781
gold almost pays for itself in energy savings and it's a lot quieter because higher efficiency = less heat

>>388668781

Not him, but spending a little more for a more reliable PSU isn't going to break the bank compared to the costs of other components.

Granted, you're not going to need some 800W monster for the average gaming PC, but Gold vs. Bronze is a difference of maybe $20.

>>388668874
Ah I understand, sorry.
Well for prebuilt computers, the biggest problem I've seen is bundling shitty graphics cards with over-the-top CPUs, or other unnecessary extras that aren't useful.
I'm sure you could find plenty of reviews online about prebuilt computers and which ones are good value and sometimes they really aren't much more expensive than buying the parts separately, sometimes even cheaper.
If you have any techy friends that could help you out that would be your best bet but looking online will be fine too, mainly the takeaway from what I said earlier is avoid the "gamer" stuff unless you really want to spend some bucks and avoid computers with super high end processors with crappy graphics cards.

>>388668781
>Not wanting a more efficient and reliable PSU that produces less waste heat and doesn't wear down as quickly

>>388668874
Prebuilts have gotten a lot better but the main concern nowadays is the quality of the power supply and/or motherboard. The manufacturer will generally skimp out on some part of the build so keep an eye out and make sure you get something with a good warranty.

>>388670190
Oh believe me, I browse /v/ and /g/ both so I know exactly what you mean.
My biggest gripe is the constant recommendation of logical increments as a defacto guide despite that guide pushing plenty of nonsense about value and extra spending. It's good for some information but it's really biased and gives a false sense of expectations (i.e. comparing everything relative to the absolute most expensive parts rather than what's realistic)

>>388669595
It's cool, I'm really grateful that you're helping me.
So all round I should be looking for a simple PC, that's not overloaded with features and isn't excessive? And PC's with Gamer tags generally aren't amazing?
I'm not trying to get a perfect machine, I just don't want to mistakenly buy a bad product with my minimal knowledge.

>>388670190
Yeah, warranty would be smart. Thanks to both of you, by the way.

>>388670686
If you're under warranty the PSU company will pay for everything the PSU broke if that happens, and platinums have much longer warranties than bronzes.

Some PSUs do, most don't. It's the exception rather than the rule.

I wish I had 64gb of RAM so I could run every game off a RAMdisk

It's so insanely fast, loading screens are one frame that flickers past

>>388671083

144hz I will most likely get at some point, fuck 1440p though.

I want a 1080ti though and I've nearly pulled the trigger on it many times until I snap myself out of it.

>>388671334
I had a friend who had like 512GB ram and some supercharged xeons (literally overclocked xeons trough engineering builds)
Motherfucker was running !4000! bot clients while playing Planetside 2 on a Ramdisk, which allowed him to swap seats instantly, which isn't somehow possible on normal harddrives for some reason?

>>388671463
If you're gonna buy a 1080TI now is the time, sell your 1070 while it's still in demand from the mining market, and buy a 1080TI (which miners don't purchase due to the memory being bad for mining) with the proceeds

>>388671648
Xeons aren't very good for games, I'd love to have 512gb worth of RAMdisk to work with though. You can only get it on server boards unfortunately. And clock speed will suffer over that much RAM.

His Xeons are literally OCd higher than the regular i7-7700k's (not the same as the picture but pretty fucking close)

But yeah, I can see why a lot of people wouldn't want to risk their gaming performance with Xeons. I'm somewhat following in his footsteps as a babby and I can actually play pretty much everything maxed with dual E5-2670's at 80+ FPS. Hyped for the Vulkan/DX12 memes.

nvm i am doing something wrong because i naturally did what this anon stated before seeing anon state this. i turned depth of field off because i've ALWAYS hated depth of field. i never have it on with any game that has it. i also set ssao to hdao instead of 3d because i have no clue what 3d option is. turning it on and off showed no differences from what i could tell. also turned off film grain and chromatic aberration as well.

>>388673480
Anon it's literally impossible to completely get rid of jaggies. You zoom in far enough with even the highest AA setting and you'll still find jaggies.
At a certain point using AA at a high setting is just wasting performance for little to no extra benefit.

>>388673680
No shit but if you have a high enough resolution monitor with a decent AA system then at a reasonable seating distance you won't notice any aliasing (that's what it's actually called, retard, who the fuck calles them "jaggies"?)
That other anons post was about the game using FXAA which is a post process method that does contrast detection and then blurs ye nearby pixels which is an objectively shit AA system and makes the scene look worse every time.
MSAA and SSAA are the only acceptable anti-aliasing methods and can prevent any resemblance of aliased edges on high resolution screens

>>388674093
>that's what it's actually called, retard, who the fuck calles them "jaggies"
Everyone that's older then 10 years old, anon.

>>388673680
And for the record, yes, needlessly high AA settings are a waste when they have the same performance cost as resolution increases. Anyone using more than 4x multi sample or a moderate super sample are wasting their time and might as well get a better display
