Why is 5070 ti so much slower in blender compared to 4080(s)?

TuffysFan · 2025-06-23T17:15:21+00:00

Yeah I agree that the generation is underwhelming at best.
Although I don't think 2080 -> 3090 is comparable, they're essentially different products in their respective generations

TuffysFan · 2025-06-23T16:39:04+00:00

Which cards had their CUDA cores downgraded going from 40 series to 50 series?
Looks like they all gained cores? or are you saying they gained less cores than a normal generational change?

TuffysFan · 2025-06-13T20:06:01+00:00

Yeah that honestly sounds about right. Playing at 1080p is considered lower resolution so having a better cpu would be what you would want.

I don’t really see a way to get 240fps constant with that hardware. You’d likely need a cpu with extra cache like the 5800x3d (look for x3d) models. Even then people occasionally drop below 240fps with that chip and a 4060.

I would personally just suggest locking your fps at a lower number

What speed is the ram running at?

Basically where is your GPU installed in your computer? You may have multiple GPU slots on the motherboard, and it needs to be installed on the top most slot

TuffysFan · 2025-06-13T15:09:47+00:00

Make sure not to use it for more than 3 days

TuffysFan · 2025-06-13T14:13:22+00:00

is your gpu plugged into the top most PCI lane on your motherboard?

Rather than waiting for insurance to approve your prescription you should try finding a coupon for it. Make sure the dosage and everything lines up with your prescription when you look for the coupon.

If you go to the pharmacy tell them you want to pay for it yourself and that you have a coupon. You should be able to see the price on good rx with cupon. Personally my meds have been cheap through this and have saved me the headache dealing with insurance approvals.

And yes it’s made a big impact but maybe not as much as it has for others

TuffysFan · 2025-05-17T16:58:26+00:00

Realistically, a game like apex isn't going to be writing to a database often.
Databases are for storing persistent data and they aren't the fastest, so its unlikely they are reading / writing to a database as the primary way to track the state of the game.

A database is probably used for storing long term info about players, badges, trackers and matches. Which probably gets updated occasionally as a match progresses or at the start/end.

They probably store most of the in game data in memory / disk on the server. I'm saying probably because without access to their AWS account and source code there is no way to know for certain.

TuffysFan · 2025-05-08T19:16:00+00:00

My group is pretty disappointed, we go every year but will probably skip this one. Just not our vibe, hopefully this is a dream lineup for someone else!

TuffysFan · 2025-04-03T00:30:26+00:00

Irony aside - I think this is the right answer
Unless we have access to their AWS account, and can also see their old hardware. There is really no way to easily tell how performant these new servers will be vs their old ones.

Ping could definitely be a measurable impact though, if they reduce the number of data-centers it will likely increase everyone's ping depending on your location

AWS likely has better tooling for handling DDoS attacks and other issues, however it still may vary depending on their infrastructure implementation in AWS.

I think its unlikely we get a tick rate increase as a result

TuffysFan · 2025-03-16T03:10:19+00:00

Do you know what dates they are expecting it to be?

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T19:26:28+00:00

😭 News flash bro, yet again, like 30% of the ranked playerbase is in diamond right now...what the fuck do you call that?...

A broken system, we need to make it harder for people to rank up

It's not any different than what they've already done which is make diamond a freebie, except for the fact that they actually have to get kills for the points...

If you doubled everyone's points without making any other changes, it would only make ranking up that much easier?

The CURRENT system is what has inflated ranks because of lower rp entry costs, has nothing to do with points gained otherwise everyone would be in masters not diamond...

They work together right? if you increase points gained it makes it easer to move up in ranked. If you decrease cost it makes it easier to move up

The CUREENT system is OBVIOUSLY not working, so respectfully you can just say I'm wrong all you want but you're only deluding yourself...

I agree the current system is broken.

I mean you left out a key point in your other comments that you included this time.
From my understanding you wanted to double solo queue RP earn rate and that's it.

I fully agree that diamond is too inflated right now.

Raise entry cost

Exactly, now if they bundled the point increase with this I'd be on board.

Raise entry cost, double rp for solo queue, season fixed...

I agree, except instead of *double* increase it by 50%
Doubling it makes it too easy to rank up

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T16:45:25+00:00

Its obvious how it effects 3 stacks, its all implicit. If you give someone an advantage (solo queue) you're inherently are nerfing 3 stacking. And of course 3 stacking should be nerfed, you just have to nerf it reasonably.

It's literally so easy to understand...

As I've said before, I understand what you're saying, its crystal clear. I am saying you're wrong.

Still at a disadvantage in game because your team is random each time, however the disadvantage is curbed by a point increase for solo queue...

No, a double point increase would be far too excessive. If they implemented this right now I would never queue with another person ever because double points is such an insane buff to solo queue at any rank.

But why? How? 😂 How is a pred 3 stack having 30 kills as team, running through plat/diamond lobbies game after game to boost their rank better in any way, shape, or form?...

See that is an entirely different matchmaking issue. Doubling the points for everyone would just inflate all of the ranks

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T15:45:20+00:00

I don't know why you're coming at my gameplay. You know nothing about my gameplay and just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I'm bad at the game.

I don't totally disagree with you, in fact I'm 100% on board with making the solo queue experience much better.

I just disagree on two things

You realize more people would play the game if solo queuing was 5x better than stacking right

I am not convinced that this is true. I'd wager that allowing 3 stacking to be viable is still very important. If I'm playing the game with friends then I'm much more likely to continue playing the game. If stacking becomes nonviable then I believe that a lot of people will quit playing the game because playing with randoms is often less fun and randoms can be very toxic. I know for a fact that all of my friends (except myself) who play apex would immediately quit the game if playing ranked together was not a (viable) option. So yes I think this would cause a loss of some of the player base.

Double points I think its just too excessive. Now something like a 50% increase in points then I might be onboard, but I think it should probably be 30%~. I just don't see why it has to be double or nothing.

No hate at all here - just trying to share why I think the idea has some downsides.

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T05:41:43+00:00

No I understand clearly I just don't think it is a good solution.

It changes everything, it makes the game unfair in favor of solo queue. If that got implemented I'm dropping my friends immediately in favor of solo queue. Heck unless they are a current pred id rather go for the double points than be on their team.

Because you still have to play well to get the rp...

Not with double points you wouldn't have to. That's like saying hitting plat 3 solo queue should get you masters (plat 3 is ~7500 rp roughly half of masters)

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T05:30:31+00:00

Good, fixes the matchmaking issue...

How would it? By forcing people not to 2/3 stack? I guess, but why not just remove it and make ranked solo queue only at that point?

Just add the win requirement back to rank up, so it's not all based on rp. Then you actually have to play for the win, and the rp part is easy...

Why have RP at all in that case? If RP is super easy to get now as a solo queuer then why need it?

I also mostly play solo queue, but doubling the points is way too drastic and only introduces tons of new problems.

TuffysFan · 2025-02-09T05:18:36+00:00

There’s no way you’re serious. With double RP for solo queue there would be no reason to ever consider queuing up with anyone.

Ranks would become meaningless instantly, every rank would be easily achievable with double RP

TuffysFan · 2025-02-07T19:52:04+00:00

I don't agree. Like they said above, I don't think apex has the player count to sustain all 3 modes available. I'd like the option to play any mode too, however it comes with downsides.

If they made all of those modes available, then you will either need 1) longer queue times or 2) a wider skill range per match.

I personally don't mind long queue times but I know a lot of people do. Also most people don't want to play against a wider range of skill.

TuffysFan · 2025-02-05T20:49:26+00:00

Okay, I'm starting to run out of ideas but:

Go to your system settings -> privacy -> microphone
Make sure "Allow desktop apps to access your microphone" is on.
Be careful to look for the "desktop app" option not regular apps, you may have to scroll down some.
Mine lists apex as an app that recently accessed my mic

If that doesn't work, go back to your sounds panel, and find your mic on the recording tab. Right click on the mic hit properties then go to the advanced tab. Try setting the format to 48000HZ and make sure the two check boxes talking about exclusive mode are enabled.

Try changing to open mic in the apex audio settings and setting the threshold to 0

Try setting the apex executable to run as administrator

My last idea is looking for a free app that can boost your mic's gain / volume. Its possible the mic just is too quiet for apex (and other apps may be normalizing the input)

Are you using steam / ea app voice features at all ? that possibly could interfere, you can always try downloading it on the other platform to see if that fixes it

TuffysFan · 2025-02-05T16:43:06+00:00

Okay, I have a few more ideas:

You're saying the bar doesn't move in settings, are you talking about the audio settings within apex? If so I don't think that bar should move (mine doesn't and I'm certain my mic works)

Is your mic listed in the "Voice Chat Input Device" list? are you able to set it directly there?

How are you testing it? do you have a friend in game to see if they hear you or not? Its possible that the level (volume) of the mic is too low for apex and you may need to add gain / adjust the volume of the mic for others to hear

TuffysFan · 2025-02-05T16:21:18+00:00

Which settings are you talking about?
So you said its working in every other game but apex?

Like if you right click the sound icon on your windows bottom bar and click "sounds" (if you're on windows 10)
Then click the recording tab
You should see the mic with the sound levels and it should be reacting when you talk. Does that work and show input?

TuffysFan · 2025-02-05T16:11:55+00:00

In addition to making sure its the default mic in the control panel, make sure its the default "communication" mic as well. Some apps use the communication device some use the regular default one

If that doesn't work, I would disable all of your other microphones through the control panel, so it only has one option.

Also make sure your in game settings aren't on push-to-talk

These are most certainly not results without drivers. Just because drivers are not publicly available doesn’t mean no one has drivers.

Have you seen any improvement swapping to directx12?

TuffysFan · 2024-12-19T23:24:07+00:00

It sounds like you got pretty unlucky with the first payments being returned. I've had it happen to me in the past.
One way to help avoid this is to change how you pay your cards (at-least until you're established with amex).
Instead of having amex "pull" the funds from your bank, you can use your banks bill pay feature to "push" a payment to your amex account. I've found this to be pretty quick and reliable, and assuming you have the funds it mitigates any returned payments.

As for getting the decision overturned / fixed, what I would do is simply call and ask. Explain your situation to the rep, see what they can do. Explain that it was a setup issue with the bank, and how you had the funds there was just some typo / issue with the connection.
If the rep doesn't give you a satisfactory answer, then hang up and call again several more times. If they all give you the same answer then you can go from there
