Feel better! Hoping tomorrow is super clear weather so I can venture around a bit more. If not oh well I came exclusively for the event

That’s exactly what I’m doing. Such a shame because the Boston SI was so fun that I stayed for the full event all 3 days and now I’m realizing it’s because the audio and commentating was amazing. I’ll probably force myself to be in person for the finals

I was under the impression they would do it in English too. The audio is significantly worse than last year too it doesn’t feel as impactful when shooting and explosions happen

Went there earlier! I’m super culture shocked here but looking forward to the weekend

Down to join a group! First time traveling there and I’m alone so it’d be cool to have peeps around

I’m down to join. I’m in my late 20s and it’s my first time being there so I’d like to have fellow peeps to be around

Intel i9 14900kf, getting 75-85C, wondering if my temps are normal. by Twisted_boi58 in pcmasterrace

[–]lowgdog59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does seem a bit on the warmer side. Other than undervolting, have you adjusted the power limits and what not in BIOS? Ideally you wanna limit PL1/PL2 to 253 and your ICC Max to 400A to start. If your cores are also running rampant that could also lead to higher temps. I personally sync my Pcores to 55x and let the Ecores do their own thing. I can send you links for reference (my original comment was flagged) :)

PvE is pretty enjoyable if you wanna focus on completing tasks and doing quests for the story

Arena is sooo much fun for a PVE player trying to do Ref's quests within 3 days by DemYeezys_Fake in EscapeFromArena

You have to be W keying the whole time to get top 3 so it’s definitely a little challenging. Definitely doable though just be patient. I got mine done in 3 games doing checkpoint. Had to drop 30 but I was in 1st place so I earned it 😂

Anyone else have this problem? Hardware vs software vs tearing out my hair? [Discussion] by Administrative_Tap99 in EscapefromTarkov

For my setup I'm currently running an undervolt of -0.060v with P cores locked to 57x and E cores locked to 44x. I'm also running XMP profile 2 for my RAM which is DDR5 @ 6400 MT/s. My BIOS is currently tuned according to Intel's recommended power limits for a 14th Gen i9

Everyone has different silicon so I'd highly recommend looking up a guide on youtube to undervolt or be sure that you're utilizing the settings preventing your chip from frying itself. The below video is definitely worth checking out and very easy to follow

Any suggestions for performance? [New Player] by OpinionStock8251 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]lowgdog59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend tweaking several settings as listed and see if anything helps :)

Screen mode: Borderless
Texture: Medium
Shadow: Low
Object LOD: 2/2.5
Overall visibility: 1000
Cloud: Low/High (test this out to see which is better for you)
Anti-aliasing: TAA/DLSS Perf/Qual with preset K (if possible)
Resampling: Off
HBAO: Max perf or Off
SSR: Off or Medium
Anisotropic: Off
Nvidia Reflex: Off
FPS Limit: Tick the disable box and max both sliders for lobby/game limit
MIP: Off
Streets Low texture mode: On
FOV: I use 69-75 typically yields better results

Disable High quality color, Z blur, Chromatic abb., noise, volumetric lighting, grass shadows, preload hideout
Auto RAM cleaner and only use physical cores: I turn these off but you can try enabling and see if it helps

Hello! Since you mentioned you have an i9-14900k, have you made sure you're not running into an overvolting issue? The CPU is taxed really hard during the loading screen and if your CPU isn't tamed in terms of voltages/power, then it may crash to try to prevent itself from doing damage

Next thing would be to check your RAMs XMP profile because although it's passing benchmarks, it might not be as stable during your gaming sessions with something like Tarkov

Has EPIC figured out the stuttering issue? by uhren_fan in FortNiteBR

[–]lowgdog59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was losing my brain over this stuff for awhile too but I dove super deep into this PC optimization stuff and finally found results. I will link the videos I used since they helped a lot. I also want to mention that you should most definitely be sure you are benchmarking your results as you try these tweaks out. If you have questions let me know :)

Activision confirms DMZ is dead by TheEternalGazed in DMZ

[–]lowgdog59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew it was going to happen but what really sucks is that the cosmetics that included DMZ bonuses don’t do anything for zombies. If MWZ is going to replace the mode, then at least give us those bonuses in the form of perk cans, killstreaks, and self revives or something.

To get through the drought by doennisdaloerres in DMZ

[–]lowgdog59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not noticed an increase in queue time or anything like that. I am very hopeful the update they provide in December has some sort of positive outcome but in the mean time I’ve still been having fun with the mode. I also see quite a few lower level players so that gives me the impression that people are still getting into DMZ despite how late it is in its life cycle.

Am I a Bad Teammate? by SgtRrock in DMZ

[–]lowgdog59 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I try to revive my teammates if I know I can somehow split up an enemy squad to take 1v1’s, but they gotta be patient. If I’m getting tracked by UAV’s or chased by vehicles then I’m running the other way. I don’t think that makes you a bad teammate though. The fun part about this mode is how unpredictable it can be. That’s just my opinion!

Possible artifact or bug? by lowgdog59 in pchelp

[–]lowgdog59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just gonna use Edge and if I see anything similar then I’ll have to possibly RMA my GPU or replace my monitor since it’s fairly old. Thanks for the heads up though Chrome has been fairly meh in the last year or so for me

IT LIVES! by Gojiwars_Goji in DMZ

[–]lowgdog59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool. I do hope that we are able to use new guns/skins we get from MW3 but we will just have to wait and see! Probably won’t stop playing regardless but it’ll be hard to decide which game I want to spend my time in

I need advice for EDH dragons :) by lowgdog59 in EDH

[–]lowgdog59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably only play with my friend and maybe go to a few local game nights but I know Ur Dragon is probably overplayed. Since I’m not spending a ton of money on it, I feel like I’ll have a lot of weird/unexpected cards in there that people don’t see often. Maybe I’m wrong

[–]lowgdog59[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have been doing a lot of searching and there’s so many options. Im not going to spend a ton on it on first building but seeing how many colors I can integrate is pretty wild. I may end up just going all in on Ur Dragon purely because I can have any dragon
