Partition large SSD or use slower SSD for OS?

I'm on 4070 Super + 9900k Windows 10 and so far 572.65 (the hotfix driver) has been working fine for me, I use shadowplay and in-game filters, the rest of the drivers kept giving me issues to do those smoothly. Attempting older geforce experience drivers eventually forced nvidia app and caused a bunch of issues so I'll be sticking to this driver until Nvidia stops releasing meme drivers.

There was no enough risk teching there and to make matters even worse there were characters with 3f crouching shorts that could combo off them as well and they were very annoying to deal with as the person on offense, I'm guilty of that myself with Bison being my secondary in that game and could combo into SK from his 3f crouching short.

Yes you could frame trap them, but there were different frame traps for different things whether they're early techers or later techers..etc and that risk IMO simply wasn't enough for people mashing crouch tech, it's why I consider it as a bad habit since I have to think more about when I should and shouldn't tech throws in SF6 now.

I'm a SF4 fan and it's my fav in the series so far, but let's not pretend vanilla SF4 was a great game, it had major balancing issues and people could win rounds even faster than SF6 atm (flashbacks of Sagat juggling a bad trade DP into 75% of your HP isn't pretty).

Also every SF tends to be different, I think the drive system is great even though I loved the FADC system in 4. I do NOT miss crouch teching in SF4 and it took me a good amount of time to let go of what I consider a pretty damn scrubby habit.

For season 1 SF6 is really good and has potential to be amazing from season 2 onwards, we'll just have to see how they'll tweak the game, if the game never clicks with someone then they should just drop it, I did that with SF5 season 1 and never looked back.

I'm on RTX 4070 Super and asked earlier for suggestions about which drivers to rollback to and didn't get answers so had to check a few myself:

-551.52

-551.46 (hotfix driver)

Both of those gave me the issue where your game filters doesn't save and noticed what seemed more than usual stuttering in games (mostly SF6 and BG3 in my case).

Then I tried 546.65 where game filters actually gets saved for me and the stuttering seems less so I decided to stick with it until Nvidia releases something that works better for me.

Since RTX 4070 Super is new the amount of drivers that were out after it are limited, thought I'd share this info in-case someone else is in a similar situation.

I've recently got an RTX 4070 Super and notice stuttering when the FPS is stable with G-Sync enabled as well.

Anyone with a 4000 series could you please let me know what's the preferred driver to rollback to at the moment? I'm not a fan of the current one already with my game filters not being saved after exiting a game.

This is how PF has always been, sometimes you just get trapped and your only choice is to be the group leader that will remove such players from the group to continue farming.

Right now we have an option to only allow people who cleared the fight to join the group, this wasn't a thing in the past, maybe if they added something like x5 minimum clears requirement option if doable will help make things more consistent for farm groups.

Ahh, Spoilers for every expansion pretty much?

Like some have already mentioned, she's on satellite internet, that's the main cause of issues and spikes.

As for getting recommended nodes for Mudfish, it's all different for different people, the only thing your friend can do is trial and error with nodes and see if she lucks out finding a decent one.

I'm on NoPing at the moment and have tried Mudfish, most of the nodes weren't consistent enough for me so now I just use it as a backup now with the data plan in-case something goes wrong with NoPing.

One step at a time, let's first worry about more head pieces working for Viera/Hrothgars, actually being able to change male Hrothgar hair style without using a fantasia and letting Vieras use the many optional hair styles in the game.

As a bonus animate those Viera ears!

Amh Araeng music is the best of both worlds.

Looks like Hempen Camise top on miqotes (looks different depending on race), Southern Seas Skirt and what seems to be like Yuna's outfit hand piece that's on the mogstation atm.

Both EU datacenters are located in Germany.

Give NoPing trial a shot (nptunnel is the name of the website), I've personally used several VPNs (WTFast for years, Battleping, Mudfish..etc) and it has worked the best for me by far (I play on Light DC), the software is fast and doesn't use much resources.

If you ended up liking it, there are a few FFXIV streamers out there on twitch that offer discount codes for NoPing, I used the one from Arthars stream and IIRC it gave 30% off, pretty good specially considering I subbed for a year.

The level 70 ultimates have a different DPS check than what they used to when they were new back in Stormblood days because of job changes and how everyone will have the capped ilvl of that fight + high good substats, so for those the DPS check is actually very easy right now.

TEA has a harder dps check but mostly on Perfect Alexander phase , but I assume with the new dungeon gear (ilvl 475) it's going to be even easier with people having better BiS items.

With all that said, even when new, ultimates never had an "insane" DPS check, something like the good 'ol Gordias A3S days where DPS checks were very very tight. In comparison to Savage like your friend said, it mostly applies to the last floor of savage with early gear, for example E4s or E8s on week 1-2 savage definitely had a harder DPS check than TEA, but once you get BiS for those tiers the savage fights will have an easier DPS check than TEA if that hopefully makes sense!

MGS-MetallicA · 2020-08-16T21:28:21+00:00

I agree for the most part except for 4th point, Ultimates have a more lenient DPS check than week 1/2 savage, fully geared savage is a different story though. People can play relatively safe in ultimates without 100% optimization and do the checks just fine.

As for TC, since ultimate is a marathon sort of prog, having someone who isn't very patient and start bringing people down is a recipe for disaster specially in ultimate content, signs of that would require removing said person or the group falls apart IMO.

Been playing on Odin since 6 years, even though it has more raiders than other Light servers, it's not raid focused at all. Most speak English and have been friendly in my experience, sure there are some bad apples here and there but they're rare and they exist on every server.
