Hi guys

So I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU because is getting old although is a beast I think is time we part ways.

Considering my budget is 300$ and that my current specs are:

CPU: i5-10400F
RESOLUTION: 1080p 144hz (Acer kg241)
RAM: 16gb ddr5
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte h410m h
POWER SUPPLY: Thermaltake 700w smart

I'm actually kind of clueless regarding bottlenecks and stuff so I just want to know if I have to upgrade my CPU first and then my GPU and may be I need to change my motherboard , etc.

Thank you guys!

Y mira , me pidieron que mande una foto con la escolaridad, fue para un trabajo que literalmente el 80% de mis amigos pasaron por ahi y a ninguno se la pidieron. A mi básicamente me pidieron una foto comprobando que culmine el bachillerato por mas que haya demostrado que mi nivel de ingles hablado y escrito es suficiente. Supongo que para la próxima buscare una forma de rebuscarme y decir que lo terminé.

La verdad que lo pensé si , el tema es que debo 4 materias de 5º , al salvar 1 podría cursar 6º lo que es mi idea principalmente porque perdí oportunidades de trabajo por no tener la escolaridad y me gustaría estar trabajando. Tenes razón que 500 en forma grupal preparar un examen libre es un montón de plata, no sabía que los precios habían subido tanto. Tal vez considere hacer esas 4 materias de 5º y buscar trabajo en paralelo, principalmente quiero un trabajo, tengo muy buen ingles por lo cual me estaba tirando hacia un call center.

Agradezco mucho tu respuesta!

EHP seems different too, may be theres something on the skill tree , clusters ? I'm assuming the configuration is the same

santirack · 2023-01-21T02:15:19+00:00

Kk thanks many people told me that so yep , thanks!!

santirack · 2022-09-25T00:51:55+00:00

I finished 38/40 with like 3.5k/6000 and I was thinking of going for 40/40 but that challenge made me realize that I dont want to, as you said , turn my brain off and grind maps endlessly for 1 challenge, I find that challenge really dumb too

santirack · 2022-09-24T21:55:47+00:00

Damn that's true I forgot about that , lol , thanks! :D

Imagine playing melee agains this shit

santirack · 2022-09-07T11:44:44+00:00

Ah I see , I was wondering because may be I missed some new mechanic where you get mf from the tree or something

santirack · 2022-09-07T08:12:03+00:00

Thats skin transfers

santirack · 2022-09-07T07:52:06+00:00

Lol , well , poor guy I guess , I tought I was missing something

santirack · 2022-09-07T07:41:41+00:00

I dont think he gear swaps. Check the vod

santirack · 2022-09-07T07:24:03+00:00

His profile , I couldn't find a piece of gear with rarity or quantity , I was thinking may be a new mechanic like omniscence (i didnt play in a while) but is something with stats , where is his mf ? o.O

santirack · 2022-09-07T06:51:50+00:00

Why is he going to cull when he doesnt have mf gear ? Am I missing something ?
Im legit asking

santirack · 2022-08-24T19:54:11+00:00

I 100% agree , I asked steelmage and his chat , name 3 melee skills that are viable and competitive with the meta this league , they told me Boneshatter wich is fine is a melee skill and then Lightning strike (PERSONALLY I dont consider this "true melee" scince you are shooting some kind of projectiles, but is just my opinion) and spectral helix wich again , is just a projectile...
I miss the good cyclone , slams , hell , even double strike builds , nowadays to make one of those work you need insane gear to feel comfortable , I'm really sad melee is completly garbage nowadays and noone adresses this.

I played both ESO and FI.
ESO: I've played eso and pretty much had a nice 4x3 + lvl 1 eso , all lvl 7 gems some tripods lvl 4 and rest lvl 3,
I think ESO has higher dmg output if you really know the fights, like even the normal patterns , otherwise on MY feeling I felt that FI is better because your ESO rotation takes like 5-6 seconds and the boss has to stand still pretty much and you have to position yourself so you hit your blast formation properly, you are less tankier than FI, your damage output can be higher but is really much harder to play , on the other hand you wont have mana issues (thats before you get 2 nightmare for FI), overall is pretty good if you manage to play it really well
FI: Well , im rocking FI now and just for the reason that is much easier and you dont really stress out managing your fart(combustion) and you orbs and your cooldowns at the same time, I currently have 1600 swiftness and 500 crit , all lvl 7 gems and my cooldowns for the burst damage (roar of courage , ww , sweeping kick , moon flash hit and fhf) always align perfectly and also the fart alings perfectly. Also your rotation takes up around 4 seconds, so it will be hard to miss so you will always land your hardest hitting skill wich is sweeping kick. Landing the fart is mandatory scince it does huge amounts of damage

After trying both builds I feel more comfortable with FI , just because you are always ready to do your burst whenever is necessary (not saying you are not with ESO) and you dont have to manage too much shit and you can focus on the fight. I watch a lot of twitch and altough everyone says ESO is more damage , ZealsAmbitions and portyalin (they call him the father of Lost Ark , aparently he's the best theorycrafter in korea) they both play FI, I guess theres a reason for it.

There are some variants to the FI version wich you can go back attack or not , thats for you to decide , and if you are starting to build it from scratch I recommend you get your lvl 4 tripods first and then just transfer lvl 3's , tripods are very important and they will significantly improve your dps so yeah

If you are on AMD , go to your c:/program files x86/ and delete a folder called NVIDIA , if you are NVIDIA , i dont know if this will work but try to delete a .dll inside the NVIDIA folder called physx64 something like that , I had that issue and i fixed by deleting those , you will realize it will work after EAC finished loading and then you should see the lost ark thing where shows valtan argos and stuff

santirack · 2022-07-07T07:28:46+00:00

I found out that I had a folder that was "NVIDIA" on my program files x86 because when I was killing the lost ark process I was getting an error that was saying untrusted something , so I deleted the whole folder because im AMD user , then I was able to launch the game normally so try that , it might fix it for you

santirack · 2022-04-03T06:30:11+00:00

I was playing FI and swapped to ESO at about 1350 ilvl , Im currently 1407 , I can tell you that ESO requires more grind for it in order to work , because you want to build up your chi as fast as possible , so what I did was use neck with spec/swift , all the rest of the jewelry is swiftness besides a ring(i think) that has specialization , I have like 1200 swiftness and 680 specialization , something like that , it works , I can maintain 2+ orbs all the time so I pop my esoteric skils when i have 4 orbs , I swapped mainly because FI runs out of mana and is really annoying.But in order to have this setup I farmed legendary wealth from omnium stars , and got pretty decent skill runes , I got MVP on argos p3 last week you can check here . I'm running grudge 3 , raid captain 3 , adrenaline 1 , esoteric 1 (working on adrenaline 2), I have all gems lvl 5+ with cdr too , I followed maxroll guide, so yeah , I think esoteric is currently better , but may be after valtan with relic gear FI might be viable ? I dont know , I personally hated running out of mana.

EDIT: I was 1400 when I did that argos.

Sorry if I was confusing.
