I got the same Motherboard

CDB2 · December 12, 2020, 7:39pm

Ah cool!!
You told me yesterday to get the X570 motherboard!

Darksakul · December 12, 2020, 7:45pm

Only thing I didn’t bother with is the Aura RGB application, and I use my own Wifi Antenna instead of the supplied antenna.

CDB2 · December 12, 2020, 7:51pm

I have a Wi-Fi antenna that I got from Amazon, earlier this year.
So that’s now obsolete, with thanks to this.

Darksakul · December 12, 2020, 8:13pm

I mean that little black plastic thing with the two wires out of it that screw in for Wifi
I ditch that for some antenna I took off a Wifi card

CDB2 · December 12, 2020, 11:50pm

I think I f’ed up!!
The case I’m reusing is too small for the X570 motherboard.

This is what I have:

Darksakul · December 12, 2020, 11:52pm

Yeah thats is too small

The case is for Micro-ATX while that Mobo is a Full sized ATX board

CDB2 · December 13, 2020, 12:01am

Unless you get a smaller Mobo.

Thats a nice Case, Not much in front IO but if you are fine with it

CDB2 · December 13, 2020, 2:03am

I’m cool with it and my old mobo was incompatible with AMD CPUs.

Holy shit as a dev myself that sounds like a TERRIBLE fucking incentive.

The whole “more hours === more productive” is a complete farce, ESPECIALLY in development world. There comes a point where you are fried and you need to recharge and working more hours will actually be a detriment.

axeman61 · December 13, 2020, 10:06am

True. I’m a programmer not even on that level, and I know there’s a certain point where you have to bring it in and recharge. You’re only going to do damage past that point.

Wtf? These are my specs and I have to play at medium settings to hit 60fps.

Darksakul · December 13, 2020, 2:15pm

There alot not said in that screen cap you posted.
Looks more its from a ad from a laptop and not actual specs.

“Up to 8th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor” is alot of room for interpterion

anon48151394 · December 13, 2020, 2:44pm

So these are the specs on my laptop :

8th Generation Intel Core i7 processor-8750H (2.2 - 4.1 Ghz w/ Turbo Boost)
GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5
16GB DDR IV (8GB*2) 2400MHz and 256GB NVMe SSD +1TB (SATA) 7200rpm (7mm)

I have to play at medium settings to hit 60fps, don’t know what’s wrong.

Radiantsilvergun3 · December 13, 2020, 3:05pm

You guys rememeber there is a PC thread right?

Darksakul · December 13, 2020, 3:05pm

Did you update your drivers?

anon48151394 · December 13, 2020, 3:32pm

I did, apparently i’m not the only one who is having these issues. I’m trying all sorts of shit to fix this.

GPK · December 13, 2020, 5:41pm

I was unstuck. Just had to beat a boss at the time. I still need to get back to this, and the NES game too. Giving the Yakuza a two week break before I binge on it again, so I might go at it. Astral Chain, Daemon X Machina and PSO 2 are all calling me, though.

First world problems are the problems I need.

I started Cyperpunk on hard, but coupled that with me wanting to use a controller and having RPG elements with the shooting mechanics, I switched to normal. Probably be easier to aim with mouse and kb since i’m use to that.

Anyways, I ended up finding an epic gun doing a gig and I feel OP asf. It’s like 300dps vs the 120dps weapons I was using. 1 shotting lot of people. Might have to go back to hard.
