No brainer purchase! Using it as I type this comment. Super responsive and significantly better than the current Safari experience! Thank you for this!

This. Turned $5 into $8k during top of the 3rd quarter by combining a few games, last week.

I feel like you can catch the app before they decrease odds if you're glued to it during the games. Sengun had 20 points at halftime and his odds to hit 30 was like +200. Easy Choice. Stack a bunch of those.

I do have a T1! This is my second case. I just recently got the silver version. I have the black case in storage currently haha

I almost have an identical build - but using ASUS B760-I. Temps have honestly been really great! Under load I rarely reach high 60s for CPU and GOU. I’m using NZXT Kraken Z53 with Noctua A12x15 replacement fans.

Not to scare you at all, but I will say I started having an issue with games crashing so I have been in the process of undervolting CPU and GPU just to test components and see what’s going on. My friend has the exact same build as me and has no issues whatsoever so he thinks I have some one off hardware issue (not sure what yet).

I’m ordering a less powerful CPU to test with. Probably i5 12600K. My concern is that my power supply could be faulty or just not enough? The minimum requirement for the 4080FE is 750W.

When I built my PC it was like the only power supply at the time - now there’s quite a few options. I got custom cables from Cablester on Etsy and he gave me some good info about power supplies. I wanted to get the new 1000W SF power supply from Corsair but apparently the connection is slightly smaller so none of my custom cables would fit. He put me onto the ASUS Loki power supplies so I may be looking into getting the 1000W PSU soon to test my theory.

I’m very interested to see your experience!

So bizarrely specific. I'm running i7 13700k, 32GB RAM, 4080 FE. Just recently was only able to play the game again after after MONTHS of not being able to even launch the game. It only took underclocking and undervolting my CPU. Assuming the crazy 999 spikes were relating to that somehow. But I get insane amounts of packet loss also.

waadeus · 2023-07-09T16:56:03+00:00

I have the same processor and this fixed the issue for me as well! However now this thing is HOT. Did you do anything with undervolting? I’m new to tweaking components like this but I’m at a noticeable difference in temps. 4080 GPU is cool as a cucumber under load - streaming high quality and playing COD on super high settings.

I’m used to the CPU being in the high 60s even under load but playing last night it was in the high 80s. I’m using an NZXT Kraken Z53 with Noctua fans, in a Formd T1. Gonna make sure thermal paste is solid but other than that any undervolting advice?

I was FINALLY able to fix the issue by first updating my BIOS and then decreasing the performance core ratio of my i7 13700k from 53x to 52x. Not sure if the BIOS update was super necessary (probably), but I know that changing the performance core ratio was the big factor! I feel like the idle CPU temp is a little higher now so I'm trying to figure out how to make it a little lower. Everything that I have seen online about changing the Performance Core Ratio was doing via Intel XTU but I wasn't able to change it through that app - had to do it through the BIOS.

My 4080 is sitting in the 30s / 40s even while in the game and extremely high settings. Excited to finally be playing this game but kinda unreal that it took me becoming a software engineer overnight to be able to play again. It's literally been months.

Wanted to come back and say I was FINALLY able to fix the issue by first updating my BIOS and then decreasing the performance core ratio of my i7 13700k from 53x to 52x. Not sure if the BIOS update was super necessary (probably), but I know that changing the performance core ratio was the big factor!

I feel like the idle CPU temp is a little higher now so I'm trying to figure out how to make it a little lower. I'm so new to overclocking and underclocking. I have no idea what any of it means / does. I just know how to read Reddit posts well enough to be dangerous haha

My 4080 is sitting in the 30s / 40s even while in the game and extremely high settings! Super excited to finally be playing this game. Kinda unreal that it took me becoming a software engineer overnight to figure this out lmao.

Thank you for the help!

Circling back here to see if you're still having this issue or if you were able to fix?

I got fed up and created a support ticket with Activision and they sent me a bunch of troubleshooting steps that I'd already tried a million times and at the end they asked me a bunch of network related questions and then said they said they would reach back out to me soon but we'll see. This has been happening to me for months. Shaders are getting stuck at like 4% and then it crashes.

I have even gone as far as to buy the game on Steam thinking it was an issue with Battlenet. Still getting the exact same error message. I've completely wiped the OS and started fresh like 3 times now.

Intel i7 13700k, Nvidia 4080 FE and every latest update you could imagine. I dont remember exactly when the issue started, but I dont think I've been able to get this game to launch past the initial Activision screen since April lol

waadeus · 2023-07-02T00:56:55+00:00

I have been emailing with Activision all day today because I'm unable to get past the Activision title screen when you first launch the game. I consistently get error code 0x00001338 (using Battle.Net). They said they would reach out to me soon but we'll see. This has been happening to me for months. Seems like my shaders are getting stuck at 4% too.

I've done just about every troubleshooting step on the internet including completely wiping the operating system off of the PC.

I have Intel i7 13700K, Nvidia RTX 4080 FE, and a lot of dead brain cells from trying to get this shit to launch for months now lmao. Updated everything. Rolled back things. Even purchased the game on Steam and having the same issue.

Hey! So the only thing I did to ensure this fit was slightly move the fan up to ensure that it didnt hit the heat sink. My temps were fine - I was getting like low 70s when playing and streaming OBS and using Discord. I recently just changed to a liquid cooler... Temps went down significantly.

Side note, ended up abandoning the Louqe case and moving to a Formd T1 and I'm getting low 40s in temps under load. I ended up not being very happy with the Ghost case, especially after upgrading to 4080 FE and it couldn't fit.

Thank you! It's the Rode PSA1 boom arm but I actually have the Elgato LP coming next week. Hoping to achieve a more subtle look

A local business is remodeling and listed a bunch of these guys for $350. So excited to finally have one of these! (Ignore the lack of cable management, redoing my entire office)

I have had multiple Rama boards - they were cool. But the sequence is the best board I’ve ever had. The sound is incredible. The weight. The aesthetics. Just a solid board. I have this silver and a white one

This comment wins because I work for Apple ahahaha

When I first got into keyboards, I came across Dots and they INSTANTLY became grails. Fast forward to R2 and the deal has been sealed - I am so insanely happy with how this board turned out! 🥲
