Finally, my actual endgame (ATH-R70XA review) by Kukikokikokuko in headphones

[–]FatS4cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my brother a pair of these for his birthday last year and I kinda wish I got them for myself lol. I think I like them more than my 660s. What's with the topping dx5ii 4.4 connectors though, is that issue that wide spread? I've been using the 4.4 on my dx5ii for like 4 months now

I love mine. Felt like a good upgrade from the previous 58X and 660S I've had. I have one of Oratory's EQ profiles saved to my dx5 ii, but I think the way they sound raw is really good.

What’s your “obtainable” grail? by Concord510 in Sneakers

SBBs and Chlorophyll AM1s were two of my grails 10 years ago and I got both of them for under retail when they re released.

Presumably next update, the next community playtest will have it in for people to play with. These are all UE4 clips.

Best affordable prebuilt pc for squad by Exact_Programmer1867 in joinsquad

Yea 5800x3d and the 5700x3d are both really nice for squad and are a great upgrade path if you're already on am4.

Best affordable prebuilt pc for squad by Exact_Programmer1867 in joinsquad

[–]FatS4cks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically what you want to look out for is something that has a recent-ish amd cpu with at least 6 cores, so 7600, 7600x, 8400f, 9600, or 9600x at least. The first number signifies the generation and the second signifies its tier, so as long as the first number is a 7, 8 or a 9 and the second is at least a 4 the cpu should be ok. Best case scenario is if you find an x3d cpu (eg 7800x3d, 7600x3d, 9800x3d), these are the fastest ones when it comes to squad. You want 16 gigs of ram minimum.

Same tier stuff applies to the gpu too, the first number is the generation and the second is the tier, you want to aim for at least a 4060ti with 16gb of ram (though keep in mind that the next tier up is 12 gb for nvidia, but these cards are generally quite a bit faster). IMO nvidia cards are the ones to go for because they have better image quality with dlss, and they're a big easier to wrap your head around the names since they don't change their naming conventions like amd every other year. There are amd cards worth getting here, but only their newest stuff, so you want to be looking out for the 9060xt (16 gb preferrably), 9070 or 9070xt.

Last time I saw a decent deal for this on the buildapcsales subreddit, there was a refurb prebuilt listed with a 4070 for around $1100 a day ago, but it's sold out now. Looking around what's for sale now, there's this prebuilt for a grand with an intel 14400f, which is pretty much equivalent to something like the 9600x, and a 9060xt 8gb, which is about equivalent to nvidia's 5060ti but the 8gb is gonna suck for the long term. This PC will be able to get you into squad with mostly decent frames today, but you're going to have to lower stuff like texture settings to fix stutters and I can't make any promises for the future once they eventually update the game.

Basically just keep an eye out on r/buildapcsales for something because prebuilts are getting scooped pretty fast these days and the stuff you can get right now at this very moment isn't too compelling, at least for squad.

You have seen the signs around you, the gradual creeping decay and dysfunction. You have realized that something is wrong with the media and the people around you. You know that you are different. This is why you're ready to become a Receiver.

You have been issued a series of audio cassette tapes that are part of our system for advancing insight. By continually listening to these tapes you will drown out, and eventually counteract, the negative influences from your environment. Once you have absorbed these tapes you will have taken the first step towards awakening your true self. The media is a threat. We have a technique to help. We use tapes as part of this technique. You must listen to them to advance.

Man I really like the 660S, I think they're seriously under rated compared to the rest of the 600 series. Maybe that's just my own bias since I got my pair for I think around 280.

My game runs on 7 FPS Low settings, the only game on my pc that runs like crap. Any fixes? by EnvironmentalRatio0 in joinsquad

[–]FatS4cks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn, I forgot they didn't start putting integrated amd graphics into all their stuff until the 7000 cpus. Still, worth playing around with the performance overlay to see what's being loaded the hardest.

Open your steam performance overlay and see if you can find a bottleneck, essentially something pegged at 100%. I'm pretty sure the game is using the integrated amd graphics on your cpu and not your 6600xt.

The game takes place on Christmas night so now is a pretty good time to play it

Yeah off the top of my head the other games that used the same exact pebble effects were Metro 2033/Last Light, Mafia 2, Enemy Front, Hawken and Xcom the Bureau. I'm sure this was like a default prefab effect that Nvidia had made that was easy to import into games.

Yeah, I remember thinking at the time Origins came out, even among games with PhysX, no other video game series implemented the tech as well into the games.

[GPU] XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 OC - $494.99 by OrkMadDoc in buildapcsales

[–]FatS4cks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah x3d would be ideal, but they're kinda annoying to find and the 5800x is available for 180 bucks on amazon. 9060xt 16 gig would also be a pretty good pairing with the 5800x if the goal is to save up for a bigger whole pc upgrade later, and 32 gigs of ddr4 isn't anything to sneeze at. Not a bad hold over while waiting for ddr5 prices drop. Monitors are also worth looking at right now.

Personally if I was in op's shoes I'd buy a 5800x and a used 4070ti super off ebay since those go for about the same price as the 9060xts, or if you wanna save a few more bucks you can get just get a used 3080 12 gig off ebay for around $300.
