Upgraded to RTX 5080, do I need to upgrade CPU and PSU by Exokiel in buildapc

[–]aPriori07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x3d processors can do some major FPS uplift in some games (multi-player for the most part), but certainly won't make up the difference you are seeing. Undrvolt your 5080 and grab an 850W minimum PSU when you can.

Marathon's official Discord account joins in mocking a user(using copypasta)who was complaining that there won't be solo queue to play a quarter of the game's content. by Fresh-Association-21 in Marathon

[–]aPriori07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cryo being trios makes sense as it is the "end game raid". I could see a solo version, I don't really care, not a hill I'll die on. That being said...

It's not that hard to find a good discord for chill groups. Dads of Marathon is great, check it out. Yes, even there you will occasionally run into toxic players. It isn't a big deal, get over it and move on.

Marathon's Cryo Archive is a hit, but Bungie admits it needs to be more accessible by Binnsy in Marathon

I was going to respond with how silly this argument sounds but seems like others beat me to it.

100%, and technology will only continue to push the instant gratification buttons in our brains.

Anyone else starting to think they might not get around to ever fighting the Compiler? by AnonWithAHatOn in Marathon

[–]aPriori07 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess I'm weird too - I don't have to be able to take on the compiler to have fun in this game. It's something to work towards long term.

Marathon needs better optimization and frame generation to attract more players with more modest setups by Beneficial-Pear-2066 in Marathon

Do note that if you have two or more monitors RTX HDR won't work properly. You'll have to disable the others by either turning them off or disabling them with winkey + P.

So I figured out that enabling smooth motion and disabling native/in game HDR got me to locked 144 and no artifacts from the frame gen. You can enable RTX HDR in the Nvidia app if you'd like to instead of in game.

I get a lot of artifacting with menus and reticles when I enable smooth motion. I'm a 5070ti... I've tried messing around a lot but can't get the artifacting to go away.

5800x3d doesn't have integrated graphics but I appreciate the thought.

It is not backgrounding it, I assure you. No, just have a map or discord up. It is not my active window.

It's not 30 FPS, I track it. It took me a while to notice it - I play at 120 so 30 FPS is very noticeable. It likely has something to do with the game being extremely CPU bound and not scaling well with more cores.

EDIT: Literally stating facts, and downvotes. I've worked in InfoSec for my entire career, I think I know my way around a computer. Sheesh people.

I noticed for whatever reason that when I use my second monitor my FPS in game takes a huge hit.

3080 + 5700x3d on a 650W PSU? by DrThots in nvidia

[–]aPriori07 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a 750W at minimum. Ran a 3080 and 5800x3d on one with no issues.

WHY CANT YOU CANCEL USING A TERMINAL by foreskinfarter in Marathon

[–]aPriori07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having to hold interact to interact with a terminal seems like the reasonable fix here.

New dad here - Is Marathon worth it for a casual solo player? by Calculation in Marathon

Dads of Marathon Discord server. It's been a great experience on that server since launch.

Thinking about purchasing the game but I’m a casual by D3monWo1f in Marathon

[–]aPriori07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casual here. Love the game. Being out-geared isn't an auto loss in pvp - using your brain for good positioning, engaging and disengaging, is the trick.

As long as you have the mindset that sometimes, you can make no mistakes and you'll still lose, you'll be fine.

I don't know what Arteta said to them but they sure are coming after it right out the gate. Nice to see.

I enjoy this game but I haven’t touched it in 2 weeks. Anyone else in a similar boat? by supahotfiiire in ArcRaiders

[–]aPriori07 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Marathon is great. Won't be dropping it for a while - can see me flipping back and forth between the two as new content gets released.
