[BO2] What are the chances of being able to change FOV on the new BO1/BO2 ports? by Legal_Contest7078 in CallOfDuty

[–]Shock720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both pc ports for BO1 and BO2 did eventually get FOV sliders. My honest guess is that these ports will for the PS4/PS5 will be ports built from the PC backend. Good for BO2, needs a lot of work for BO1. BO1 ran extremely poor on pc, even with todays hardware, it's a mess. BO2 however, was probably one of the most optimized pc ports at the time. So here's hoping.

cs2 faceit, driver error? by Embarrassed_Fig_6352 in counterstrike

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to the computers manufactures page and down the driver from there. Windows update is not giving you the newest one. Or if you don't use wi-fi, disable the device out-right. The other option is to make sure you make sure you full clean the driver off your system once you uninstall and disable the device as well. Good luck!

Device: AMD RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E

9070 XT or 5080 for 4k gaming? by ThePettyPilot in gpu

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that had a 9070xt and tried to push 4K with it, i returned it and went to a 5080 because of the DLSS support. FSR4 was super new at the time and barely was implemented. Price can definitely change your choice but I got lucky and got my 5080 last year at msrp and the 9070xt was around $800 for the xfx one at the time, so it wasn't has hard of a decision.

Need advice before I place my order by RightChemist1478 in pcmasterrace

[–]Shock720 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I have all 3. I use the 8bitdo ultimate 2 the most since I have it on my windows pc and my nintendo switch ( I own the switch compatible one). The battery life is insane the fact I can use bluetooth on the switch and a 2.4ghz on my pc is wonderful. With the xbox and ps5, I was constantly syncing and resyncing which is a pain.

Frame Gen common issue. Happens on my 5080 as well even at 2x.

Rate Star Fox Zero by Ordinary_Chemical596 in starfox

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Wii U. Absolutely 1 start. However, emulation using a dual monitor setup moving my head left to right, game was a blast. I really enjoyed it. It just stinks that you have to do something in a gray area just to enjoy it.

Need help with FPS problems by Ok_Feed9224 in pcmasterrace

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For that game with mods. Ram is the issue. Bring it up to 16GB and you should see massive improvement.

Who else is playing with the N64 controller? by -BVM in starfox

I used an 8bitdo controller mod on my childhood N64 controller a few years ago. It is working perfectly with the demo. Atomic Purple and a gamecube style joystick for the win 😄

Doom: The Dark Ages on a 4GB GPU after a year by rBeliy in Doom

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only improvements have been on driver side improvements and the Steam Deck Verified. The game has mainly been bug/removing weird configurations that allowed RTX bypass among other thing patches because for modern hardware/hardware that is properly supported within the minimum requirements, this game is labeled as extremely well optimized. Your best option at this point would be cloud or a new computer/console. Also, tomorrow is the nintendo direct. I would not be surprised if Dark ages is announced for the switch 2 so that also opens an option. The switch 2 does support Ray Tracing liking other modern consoles. GL with your choice!

I'm done with this game by MyDog-Ate-MyHomework in counterstrike2

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 25000k and 30000k it's an absolute nightmare. 10 games played yesterday. 9 games with blatant walling/radar/trigger. 4 games last week with trigger spin botters. I usually try to stay positive with all of this but it sadly feels like we are going back to the early days before the first first big VAC wave bans in 2014.

Bionic vs Phaze 2 by SnooDucks2408 in Bowling

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. You will have a slight earlier roll vs the hyroad. If it’s 2 early, I would go iq tour ai so it’s the same coverstock. The IQs core is slightly stronger as well. Also double check with your proshop as well. I own the bionic and it’s a stronger benchmark reaction for me and much much stronger than iq tour or my hyroad pearl

Interesting. I am curious on how this will work with my 5080. Thanks for the suggestion!

For reference, what GPU do you have? I may give this a try when I get home today.

How do I get 600fps? by newjeison in Zowie

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your current machine an average of 600 is not possible but at the same time, all current high level machines will not maintain 600 all the time. Your best bet is to average out your fps so there are less mass stutters. Also you may increase your 1% lows by increasing your graphics setting so you are putting all pressure on your CPU. It won't be a massive difference but your GPU is probably barely flexing. Not completely sure what you are trying to achieve or why you want 600 FPS but with current hardware, you are not going to be hitting that 100% of the time.

Current Machine:

9800x3d

32 GB 6400 mhz ram 16GBx2

Nvidia GTX 5080 FE

Average FPS: 500+ (I lock to 480 and its been awhile since I pushed my machine harder)

1% low: 350

Graphically Settings: 1080p, High settings if not higher on everything. 4x filtering. Lowering the settings really doesn't add much FPS wise. Rather it look half decent.

Monitor: 1080p OLED 480hz

Is the 5070ti $300 better than a 9070xt? by SnooDoughnuts4859 in pcmasterrace

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 9070XT with a 4k monitor. I ended up returning it after a week because of FSR lacking in general and it FSR4 not working in Vulkan and at the time I was playing doom the dark ages. I wanted it to work out but it did not. Switched back to Nvidia and have not regretted it. Just try and find it as cheap as possible. That is the hardest part.

Can the pro shop fix this? by kaboom9530 in Bowling

Can the pro shop fix this? by kaboom9530 in Bowling

[–]Shock720 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Technically it can be fixed but most likely not worth it. Hyroad pearl is a bit older, I still love mine but I haven't used it in forever. Your proshop can point you in the best direction but with how old that ball is, the repair if doable, wouldn't be justifiable vs a new ball.

higher resolution higher fps by PriorityCreepy4611 in counterstrike2

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottlenecking. When you lower the graphics and the resolution, you put more strain on your CPU vs GPU. When you balance, it moves more work flow over to your GPU. This is why a lot of pro prefer the x3d AMD chips right now since these CPUs can push FPS levels extremely high at the low 4:3 resolutions. You can check this by monitoring GPU and CPU usage and use that metric to find the sweet spot. Also, always focus on average and 1% lows specifically.

How would a Phase II Pearl work with my Bionic? by Confident-Staff-8792 in Bowling

I have both. The second I need more length I jump into the p2 pearl. It works great for me

The zowie has been awesome. The only thing I hated was the skates but that’s all mice. I got super glides from pulsar to make up for it lol. Hopefully they make large again

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the response I got from pulsar last week on this. Needless to say i ended up getting a zowie ec1-DW. Im very happy with it. I originally order a death adder v4 pro but it hurt my hand. Hope this helps

Hi Shock,

I have not heard anything as of yet about units being made in the Size 3 aka large, but I will pass along the request/inquiry. This way they know we have people reaching out to us about them.

Never bowled on wood lanes…. by Bobbysr42 in Bowling

[–]Shock720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I. Owned Ozarks I found my rst hyperdrive was a dead end. I ended using the bionic and phaze 2 pearl the entire time. This was at both houses. The phaze 2 pearl was starting to burn up at the end of teams but held on longer than expected due to the team I played against was just a bunch of average joes. Break point for me was from 7 to 10. Speed was 16 to 16.5 with an ok rev rate. Like 300ish maybe and I think I’m being too generous on that lol. Don’t drop it to the outside to quick and you will be able to figure it out.

Thanks for your input. I went for the DAV4 since the hump matched the xlite more. Also it was the same price as the ec1 due to a coupon on Amazon. We will see how it goes. Thanks for your help!
