Bought 2 Dell Precision T5810 workstations for 70 bucks!

System 1:

Xeon 1607v3 (4c/4t)

24GB DDR4 ECC RAM

GTX 1030

425W PSU

System 2:

Xeon 1650v4 (4c/8t)

685W PSU

Already took the first rig and put in a six core Xeon/RX 6600.  The 6600 was like new and cost me 140 bucks on Facebook.  😎

@Jocelotyou can first try installing your old drivers.

Uninstall radeon graphics driver, then install them fresh.  Choose the option to restore settings to factory defaults.

You can also try to see if it's a heat issue.  Is your PC stuffed into an enclosure or some kind of cabinet?  Make sure there is good airflow around it.  You can also try running it for a while with the side panel off.

Let me know if either of these things help!

Hey guys, my PC recently started crashing when I play games. It was never an issue before, my friend suggested I update my AMD drivers so I did that, and for a while things were fine. But now when I play games I know aren't taxing on my PC like Elden Ring it crashes. Same when I tried to play Resident Evil 4 Remake. I didn't even make it through the entire intro village fight before the screen went green and I had to force the computer to shut down.

 

I thought updating the drivers would make things better but now things almost feel a bit worse? Even the cutscenes in Elden Ring drop frames now and Street Fighter 6 gets stuttery during the start up of CA's which it didn't do before.

 

Any help would be appreciated

What are your system specs?

You said the system was crashing before?  Crashing how?  Blue screen?  System lock up?  System shutting itself off?

I love playing Strive, but I would kill to have a fraction of something like WT in it or any other fighting game. Capcom doing a MKD Konquest mode was the best decision.

I don't like World Tour that much.

Compared to average fighting game single player content it's neat, but I wouldn't say it's actually good.  It's not particularly fleshed out and what's there is pretty bland.  It's basically a tutorial mode that barely has a plot and happens to have a lot of Capcom references in it.

If World Tour was a standalone game it would be getting a horrible reception.  It only gets this much love because it happens to be bolted to a SF game. 

I put 50+ hours into that mode just to see where it goes and the answer is that it pretty much goes nowhere -- so I actually agree with him.

Maybe if they continue to update WT it will become something great in the future, but right now I don't find it terribly interesting.

The issue is that I'm 100+ miles from a Microcenter (about 2ish hours by car), so I might just pivot her to a 12th/13th gen Intel system and give her my case/motherboard/PSU; and move into a Mini ITX system. The issue with a Mini ITX system for me is that since I have a 7900 XTX, it's super hard to find a case that'll fit it in a smallish form factor. The wider A4 DAN case will fit it with 2mm to spare, and I think I can make that work.

If you're going to have a massive full-size GPU it's better to just stay with m-atx.

Most ITX cases that support full size hardware are too big.  Some of them are almost the same size as a normal mid-tower, defeating the purpose of going ITX in the first place.

Is platinum in this game like Bronze in SF5?

 

Some of the people I run into are kinda eh....doesn't feel like they should be that close to master. 

 

Edit: Also dudes gotta chill with the modern controllers. Capcom pls.

Platinum is scrub tier, yes.

They're not really that close to master.  They'll never make it through diamond.  🙂

@misterBeeNot even you could do much with my old high school rig. 

 

Compaq Presario CDS510

 

I played a lot of Doom on that thing. Before moved on to my last store bought atrocity from Packard Bell powered by one of these bad boys at a blistering 266mhz.

 

 

It's the reason I swore off store PCs. I bought a 333mhz (AMD K6-2) to upgrade and the cheap mobo capped it at 300mhz. Luckily the overall superior architecture still gave me a big performance boost in good ole' Everquest 1. With my trusty Matrox G200....I miss when we had multiple GPU options. Now Nvidia has a virtual monopoly. That's it for story time with Ole' Man Darc.

1. Get old PC
2. Dremel and hacksaw
3. Put in modern super high end shit
4. Marvel at your sleeper PC

I don't do it because it's smart.  I do it because I can.  😈

@VirginDefiler

Since I'm late to this particular party I'm going to make it real simple.

1. Seems like the majority of people here are not fans of your views on gay/trans people.  Maybe they're misunderstanding, maybe they're not.  I'm not going to waste time trying to dissect this shit so we're just gonna drop it.  No more talk about that stuff.  Just keep it to yourself from now on.  Repeatedly bringing it up is just gonna get you banned.
    
2. No personal attacks.  Tubb isn't here anymore but if he ever comes back he will be told to not start anymore shit with you.  Similarly, you are to stop badmouthing him immediately.

To everyone else:

I am wiping the slate clean in this thread.  This is the ONE AND ONLY time I will do so.  Whatever dumb shit has been said in the past is gonna stay there. 

I have made my views on conduct clear.  It should be obvious what is ok/not ok to say.  From now on people WILL be using the reporting feature and I WILL be following it more closely.  Everyone knows the score now and anyone who fucks around from this point forward is just gonna get banned.

If this is STILL too much for people then I will not only be handing out bans but will also find someone willing to mod this place.  They will most likely NOT have a light touch.  If you guys don't want someone laying down the law then I'm relying on you to keep each other in check.

I don't think I could be in the same ticket as him. At my kindest, the only way I could describe MisterBee's playstyle in SF is if you took the wolf kid's feral ass straight from the jungle and tried to set him straight by hitting him in the head with a few bricks.

 

Not sure that type of recklessness is the one you want in charge of the military.

 

I mean that with all due respect though.

I have the most reserved and textbook play style.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Why is it hateful to voice out why people think there are politics in this whole thing that is going too far? That is the thing with you leftists, anything that doesn't favor your views is automatically labeled as "hateful". Learn to accept reason against you. 

You know what man there has already been too much of this shit lately and I'm real tired of it.

If you can't see how weird and fucked up some of the shit being said is then you've got a problem too.  Just keep this shit to yourself.  I've temp banned you before.  Next time is permanent.

Because at its heart of hearts, this is a underwater basketweaving video game website, not the steps of the Capitol. If this shit is aching yours or anybody else's ass so much, there are better places to do it like reddit, A.M. talk radio shows or whichever truck stop glory hole you get your weekly toothpaste from.

 

The owner of the forums is asking you guys kindly to avoid certain topics because all they'll do in the long term is cause problems. Then when he has to come moderate them, everybody is going to get a secondary case of ass pain because they think its about protecting any one point of view or some grand stand about free speech. it isn't. He owns the forums, its mostly for video games, and since he has real life shit to do he doesn't want to spend free time putting out fires.

 

If you have a problem with the owner of the whole ass fucking website asking you nicely to drop this one thing and find somewhere else to do it, I can pack your account in nice box, ship it UPS, pay for expedite shipping so you can shove the whole thing up your fucking ass.

 

To help you navigate this post, this is how it works: you can either abide by what Misterbee asked nicely about or stop posting here. The guy didn't say that you couldn't do it as part of a regular conversation, he asked nicely that you don't turn this shit into long posts that make the convo the focus. Its obvious as hell what he wants and doesn't want.

 

So do you want your account or not?

^ What he said.

Can I get a definition on "politics"?  Like if we're just talking about things that are happening that are unfortunately politically tied up (I.E. Russian/Ukraine war, Donald Trump indictment) is that ok or off limits? 

This place isn't for political debate.  There's a reason I do not allow a politics thread.

If someone wants to say 'hey this thing happened' and a bunch of ppl want to say 'wow that's fucked up' or 'wow that's good' then fine.  But the discourse ends there. 

What I don't need is someone going on a rant about why this or that is bad and then have it devolve into a war -- which it always does. If you don't agree with some shit, you can just downvote it.  If something is straight up inappropriate/makes you uncomfortable, you can report it instead.

The reason why reporting is so important is because I assume MOST of you are reasonable, nice people.  And if all the reasonable nice people work together, what tends to happen is anyone who goes wild and starts ranting will get censored/reported to me.  And if someone is reported to me enough I will take more serious action.

I have given several people on here many chances.  Sometimes they reform, other times it looks like they don't learn their lesson.

From now on, I will be MUCH more pro-active with the banning.  I simply do not have the patience or time anymore.

The issue comes with trying to decide if we're just blocking/reporting people for dissenting opinions on things or if what the person is saying is actually dangerous rhetoric that doesn't actually need to be here.  Unfortunately KingTubb is right and we need to be better at calling shit out (not including RSG cause he's better at it admittedly than most).  I know we want to have tough skin and not have everything be PC but there def lines of bs that we don't need here.

It's very noble of you guys to try to be open-minded, but let's make some things clear:

1. This is a fighting game forum
2. I'm not trying to create some bastion of free speech
3. I want people to feel comfortable

THE SITE RULES STATE NO RACISM, NO POLITICS.

If you see something goes against the rules, report.

If something makes you feel uncomfortable, report.

If someone is just being an asshole in general, report.

It is MY JOB (and sometimes Sonero's) to decide if punishment is necessary.  It is up to YOU to let me know there's something worth looking at.  That's it.  This is my private forum and I would like it to not drown in filth.  Sadly I cannot read every thread/be here 24/7 so I have to rely on you guys to help.

Remember, 'free speech' lets Nazis hold parades in Washington DC.  Free speech is all well and good if you're running a country, but this isn't a country. It's MY forum and I have no interest in letting everyone say whatever dumb shit they like.  I try to be hands off but some of this shit has got to stop.

1 minute ago, Sonichuman said:

I don't mind having people with different opposing views on things so long as the person is willing to actually back up why they think a certain way and it's not just saying shit to be saying shit.  I'm trying to be careful about just blocking people in this forum just because they say or believe something I don't like because I feel like it starts putting myself in an echo chamber.  I try to be an open individual because I don't know everything and there might be something that I can learn that maybe I didn't know about before that can give something more context and understanding.  All that being said, if I start to find that your posts do nothing for conversation purposes or don't even provide a modicum of entertainment then that's when I'll start considering the block.  Zatalcon has been skirting the edge with me for some time.  Most of his posts have been disingenuous drivel with a tired repeated schtick that has mostly gotten old months ago.  Trying to actually respond to him or have an honest disagreeing conversation with him would be an exercise in wasting time.  Just feels like an intellectually bankrupt blackhole.

Not singling you out Sonic, but instead of blocking people everyone needs to be REPORTING POSTS.  There are systems in place that will hide unpopular/bad posts and that will let ME know when bad shit is being said.

Blocking does nothing because it just solves things for YOU.  If everyone does their duty and reports the bad shit the whole place will get cleaned up.  Last time I had a full-time mod people complained they were too much.  Now I don't have one and people are upset but are also not doing their part to keep this place nice.

We need to come together as a COMMUNITY to maintain this place.  If you guys can't do that then I'll just have to find someone who will police it.

@Lantis@KingTubbI can't be in here all the time so I don't know always know what is being said.  You guys should be using the report function so I actually know when these posts happen.  If you don't report I have no way of knowing what's going on.  Also, if enough people report posts will be hidden automatically -- I wrote a thread about this here:

People said they wanted to self moderate instead of having over-bearing mods and so I set up systems for that...and then almost nobody used them.  EVERYONE should have read this thread, but I know most of you haven't.  🙂

@VirginDefileryou gotta knock it off with the race stuff.  If you don't quit it and I hear more reports about you I'm gonna have to start banning.

  The story so far is also dope. I'm predicting it's going to be some sort of Game-Of-Throne shenanigans. Hype af! 

The development staff for FF16 were required to watch the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.  They have straight up said they are trying to make something that is like GoT.

I have no issues on my phone or PC, but it's possible devices with less RAM are choking on it. 

The site does not load all the videos at once, so it shouldn't be an issue -- however in the future I will be asking @Sonichumanand others to post text links instead of embedding a ton of videos.

One vid here or there are fine but maybe there's no need to have a post with like 10 videos in it.

That's got a 60 fps patch for PS5? 👀

Yeah but I'm talking about big games that were 30fps on release on their original consoles.

GTA V runs on a toaster now, but when it was new and it was a 30fps title and everyone loved it.

It's easy to run older games on newer consoles at 60fps, but they aren't originally developed and released that way.  The number of old games that ran well on PS5 is what gave people the mistaken impression that 60fps was somehow gonna be a new standard moving forward.

I agree that the general population doesn't care at all about the framerate though.  It still doesn't mean that they should be driving the ship on what developers do though. I bet you most of those same people think they are actually streaming real 4k content from things like HBO Max and Netflix or Youtube too. 

I mean if the vast majority of your dollars come from people that only care about the sick particle effects and don't mind that it halves the framerate, that's what you're going to do.

And btw, Driveclub was fucking terrible, and part of that reason was because of the sluggish 30fps that it ran at.

I thought Driveclub was ok.  😞

Most if not all the Forza Horizon games are 30fps on console also iirc.

30fps became the norm in the PS3 and 360 era. Digital Foundry did a few videos on the subject were surprised at how many more games were 60fps prior to that gen. The length of that gen caused cutbacks to be made to get games running and honestly they were sub 30fps a lot of the times. There was 8 years between the 360 and XB1. Whether people care or not comes down to what genre's they play. The FPS and FG crowd cares.  My brother is not some super hardcore gamer. He played a lot Destiny 2. When he started playing CoD, he couldn't go back to Destiny 2, at the time, because he said "It felt like he was playing under water". It surprised me. He could feel the difference, he didn't go back to Destiny 2 until the next gen patch added 60fps. The FPS crowd is a large portion of the "casual" gaming market. They notice. These companies aren't added all these 60fps modes for nothing. They are doing it because the consumers are bitching about 30fps. 

60fps is nice to have, and in some cases it's necessary.

COD4 was 60fps and it's part of their brand.  Fighting games have always been 60fps.  Racing games are often 60fps, but not always (see: Driveclub).

That being said, many of the best-selling and critically acclaimed games have never had a 60fps target and only get high framerate when ported to a newer console afterwards.

Just off the top of my head: 

• God of War reboot
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• Most Assassin's Creed games
• The Last of Us
• GTA V
• Most of the Gears of War games
• FF7 Remake
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• most of the modern Far Cry games
• Skyrim/Fallout

Can some consumers notice the difference?  Yes.  Is it enough to push the needle when some of the greatest selling games ever were 30fps on release?  Probably not.  Designing for fixed hardware is about picking and choosing. Graphics / game logic are going to be chosen over framerate almost every time.

Your brother was put off by Destiny 2, but it and the original Destiny sold like hotcakes and were 30fps games.  He's definitely a small minority of the playerbase.

Well the problem with your argument, is that they are trying to have 60fps modes.  Virtually every game has a performance mode where the target is 60fps. 

 

And even the fidelity modes that target 30fps can't even get a constant 30fps most of the time.  I honestly don't know how people can play games in 30fps when a 60fps mode is available.  As mentioned above, the game just feels so unresponsive in 30fps compared to 60fps.

Well that's just it -- most of the time the performance mode isn't the default.  It's also not what's shown in trailers and promotional materials.  The vast majority of ppl who play are going to be playing the pretty low framerate mode, and they won't care.  Many won't know to look for the performance mode toggle. Sometimes they won't even have a choice.

If developers/console manufacturers thought a lack of 60fps was going to be a real problem, things wouldn't be this way.  Sales and reception show that high framerate just isn't as important to the population at large.

I love high framerate gaming, and I have a nice PC.  But I also completed many of the games on the above list on console at 30fps and I was ok with it.  Gears of War/Horizon/Last of Us were phenomenal games, even at 30fps. High framerate is nice to have, but it isn't going to be a dealbreaker for most.

Fact is that  if high framerate is REALLY important to you, console is never going to be the best option.

1080p/60fps should be the defacto standard this generation.  It's mind boggling to me that we have games coming out in year 3 of this gen that can't get a constant 60fps.

I mention this every time this conversation comes up:

60fps is never going to be the defacto standard.

Developers are always going to go for 30fps + higher graphics, especially as the systems continue to age.  Some people may have thought this was gonna be the 60fps generation, but that was only because of the long period of pandemic/console scarcity and the flood of games that were cross-gen.

30fps has been common since at least the PS1 days and it's not really going to change.  There are many consumers who don't care about 60fps but care a lot about visual fidelity.

Nakayama was in his Neogeo boss bag when it came to Psycho Bosch. What the heck is with that inescapable Deadly Rave move!?

Nah the deadly rave is the key to getting damage and makes the fight easy.  It's the same every time:

Unblockable > mid > low > overhead > drive impact

Just jump the first hit, block all the rest, and when he goes for DI you counter DI.  Free damage.

Also if you can get only the first hit of his DP to hit he's punishable since the followup won't connect and has  lots of recovery.
