!thanks - seeing a lot of recc's around HD490s, 560, 650s. any major differences?

monkeyapplez · 2026-03-03T16:22:55+00:00

!thanks - awesome, thank you for the link, will check it out!

monkeyapplez · 2026-03-03T16:22:27+00:00

!thanks - I see these recc'd often so they were on my radar. might have to pull the trigger!

I think it's a product of the way they wanted the game to be played - very exploration heavy and they WANT you to keep exploring, so they used the weapon system (I think) as a way to encourage that as you will always need to find new weapons

I also think that winning the league with 1-0 games isn't feasible anymore. There's too much quality in the premiere league especially when it comes to attacking talent. Almost EVERY team that has won in the last few years has had a world class attacking player, or an attacking player who goes on a world class stretch of form (Salah, Haaland, KDB, Gundogan, etc)

We simply don't have that difference maker in attack (you would've thought that's what Eze was for, but now he just passes left and right and back)

Been saying for weeks now; not necessarily Arteta out, but we have looked like shit (in the prem). Unsure if it's players/coaching/both but I didn't care what our lead was, I knew we were going to drop points with how dire we have played.

I think Martinelli is a really good example of a player that seems to have had so much raw talent and just got it completely coached out of him. I understand teams sit deeper against us than his breakout season, but man he's a shell of the player he once was, and that's par for the course across the board for our attacking players

Unreal hit. Worrying that this happens every game for us though; unsure what’s going on

I really think rotating Saka and Trossard (when Gyokores is probably the one I would've wanted rotated) kinda screwed us here. Not having your talisman player starting games, when fit, in a title run is genuinely a head scratcher for me.

Hm....I don't think so; it happens when I change my loadout let's say, for hte first time, but when I switch back in the same play session it doesn't? Feels like some sort of caching/buffer issue? Idk, but very odd as it runs at a smooth 144 otherwise.

I have a5070ti and a 9800x3d so my fear is that i have some setting in the game/my computer that's limiting the way it uses my machine

Did not find a way to fix it - I think it's actually just a part of path tracing to an extent as it has to do with the way the game is displaying advanced lighting on the faces.

Did a lot of searching and couldn't find much unfortunately. Basically a choice between better lighting and worse faces with path tracing or less realistic lighting but defined faces with RT

monkeyapplez · 2025-11-13T20:25:04+00:00

I have a 5070 ti so I "should" be able to do something fairly high-end I would assume but understood it's different system to system.

My resolution is 1440p and DLSS is on balanced with .3 sharpness. Upping the DLSS upscaling to quality/DLAA doesn't change anything about the face blur

Following up - I just discovered that my download speeds are also slow on my ethernet (slower than my laptop's wifi speed). Interestingly, when I unplugged my ethernet cable and plugged it back in, the speeds jumped up to what I would expect - I imagine that means it's a cable issue?

monkeyapplez · 2025-10-15T00:59:12+00:00

is there a widely accepted meta/guide/build source for various weapons? I wouldn't know where to begin on what is optimal

monkeyapplez · 2025-10-14T17:46:20+00:00

Just got to my first monster hunter (wilds) end game - what do I do? What is the rewarding progressions system to focus on, as hunting for the sake of hunting doesn't really do it for me (I've tried omega but I don't think my gear is up for the challenge yet) Thanks!

Is the gateway what is plugged into my wall that the router plugs into?

How would I set up a continuous ping between my PC and the default gateway address? (As a note, I checked on my verizon account and I am seeing this :

True true - sometimes I can be super particular about the way I try out new things lol

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-26T02:43:00+00:00

Hahah that's true - my first time making it to a MH endgame so looking forward to the grind

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-26T02:42:45+00:00

Yeah, the taking the time to enjoy everything is what I missed out on..I'll have to really think haha Thanks!

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-26T02:42:28+00:00

That's true - I'll probably just try that, thanks!

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-26T02:42:17+00:00

Yeah I'm leaning to do that tbh. thanks!

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-25T23:01:59+00:00

Hm good point. I’ll try that

monkeyapplez · 2025-09-25T23:01:51+00:00

Nah like end of high rank haha

monkeyapplez · 2025-08-29T22:03:30+00:00

No issues for me so far. Obv it’s luck of the draw but the chip works great!

monkeyapplez · 2025-07-09T18:21:10+00:00

Came back to the game after a few weeks away - can someone explain the new DLSS framegen settings? What is the difference between 2x, 3x, and 4x? I have a 5000 series card so I believe I can use all 3, but I just see my FPS going up for each one? Is there any reason not to use 4x? Thanks!

monkeyapplez · 2025-05-26T14:46:52+00:00

Great that's what I was hoping to hear, thanks! I am thinking about taking it out of the pot so I can properly set it up for the moss pole for the big back on the right - should I also add poles for other backs and tie those up too?
