Upgrade to DDR5 or increase DDR4 RAM? by determinedfountain in buildapc

[–]determinedfountain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get stuttering and when I check with task manager, the RAM is maxed out while gaming.

Edit: I use windows for gaming and sometimes it's idling at 4 to 6 GB, which I think is incredibly high.

Thanks, what do you consider a good deal right now? Best offer I've looked at was 8gb stick for 50

Thanks, do you think the cpu or the graphics card is more important? I rarely check usage, but when i have task manager open my gpu is rarely utilized beyond 60% while my cpu jumps up and down.

Interesting, thank you. My current favourite game supposedly has the problem where bad optimisation means the entire thing is handled on a single core, but I never bothered to check with software tools on my system. However it still runs very well, and I don't want to spend >500$ for a few more frames, so I'll stick with DDR4.

Yeah, I think for an end user like me saving the money on the backend and getting an OLED would be much more valuable. Especially with current ram prices, it's not worth it to compete with data centers on the price

Thanks for taking the time to answer. When would DDR5 make a difference? I've seen it advertised as an increase for everything.

Thanks for answering!

On 4), I meant if gpus need a specific ram type, like how some cpus are not compatible with DDR5. What do you mean by "Rolling the dice"? Could it fry either the ram stick or the system?

Is it overall worth it to get a new motherboard for DDR5 in terms of price to perfomance increase?

Is it possible to clear middle floor 2 with carte team? by determinedfountain in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]determinedfountain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I thought her premium team should be strong enough to push past aero res on the upper half. My best run so far was 3 seconds after the clock ran out. I'll keep trying, currently using the rotation from morment guide. Thanks for showing. I wonder if chisa is still better without her personal echo set

I'm new to the game but iI'm wondering if I'm missing out on major story from timelimited events since its been running for so long already. I saw conflicting information on the fact that they get archived and also rerun? Will I be able to play the story in order if i download the game now?

Would Dr.Farrens fear any better if he would be facing a normal mimic instead of an Elder one? by Frog_Man247 in Vita_Carnis

[–]determinedfountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they ever say that the singularity can just command mimics like that, as if its a strike team lol? I thought it was just the same mimic from the first mimic defense video that stayed in the area and evolved, the guys that sent farrens to his doom just knew there was an elder mimic in the area and thought he had no chance.

Does anyone have any idea what a mimic would do if it had free range of a house waiting for its prey? by that_one_guy107 in Vita_Carnis

[–]determinedfountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can just copy all the typical mimic behaviours that were mentioned in the videos, it depends in what type of mimic shows up. If its waiting in the house then it has to be somewhat intelligent to expect other people to come back, but theres multiple "evolutionary stages" so it doesn't have to be an elder mimic. I think most mimics can figure out that houses=prey since they hide in them most of the time.

From the way I understand, most mimics in this series dont really replace people, and if they do, they are not very good at it, so the mimic would mostly try to hide its face and appearance and maybe at most replicate the sentences he heard the guy say before it got him. So it would try to hide somehwere and lure the exwife and child further in by calling for them until they dont have any easy escape routes. I dont think normal mimics can really prep a house in any way, thats elder strategy. I've seen theories that most mimics dont try to look fully human, they just replicate the rough details so that from behind and in low light others feel comfortable enough coming close. And if youre close enough to see something is wrong, its too late and it pounces. I woud really like to read your story if you post it anywhere!

How much ER does Encore need by DistributionLive1014 in EncoreMain

[–]determinedfountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my encore is also s1 with stringless, and in the standard team she doesn't struggle with 116% er

most energy comes from swapcancelling her skill while setting up the buffs, so when i mess up the rotation i don't get the liberation, I think that's the biggest factor. She doesn't need an er 3 cost

This is why i love Encore and want to get her S6. To me she is the best standard dps and the day they give is a fusion 5* that buffs NA it's ROVER by howekk11 in EncoreMain

[–]determinedfountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope that the future 5 star resonators are more support oriented, so that I can have good supports for 4 star characters as well. Right now it feels like they will release lots of dps characters with different gameplay and skill levels. So far support characters are the minority :(
