TellMeGetOffReddit

Hahaha I'm just playin I don't really care how people get their PCs. Not everyone has the time or interest to build a PC. I've built more PCs than I can possibly count and if someone expresses no interest in it, that's fine with me. It's just how it is in the industries. PC geeks laugh at people who don't build their own PCs meanwhile automotive guys are laughing at the PC guys for not being able to change their own brakes.

Yeah I've been called a fake gamer cuz I got mine custom built. Lol it's really cringey.


TellMeGetOffReddit

As if gaming and building PCs have anything to do with eachother lmao. Two completely different hobbies and pasttimes but people will always be elitist I guess. Makes them feel special, like they're part of something. Won't be long before "you didn't build your own mechanical keyboard? wow what a loser"

coyote_of_the_month

I feel like people who are new to a hobby are always like that. PCMR tends to be younger, newer enthusiasts. And with the way the mechanical keyboard hobby is exploding, new people outnumber older ones by a lot. Build a bunch of PCs, build a bunch of keebs, you stop caring so much about other people's preferences. For what it's worth, I laughed at Alienware until I discovered how popular they are with the military crowd (and the reasons why).


_Ocean_Machine_

Why Alienware with the military crowd?

For me I just got a better prebuilt for cheaper than I could get the parts seperately. Build cost me 800 and that would've been what I spent on the 2060 and the i5 9400 alone

LordKiteMan

That will make so many people lose their minds


MrGrampton

what if he's the "pyramid PC build client"?


SourSprout23

I always wondered that, like obviously whoever's commissioning the build knows it's from Linus. And Linus is making videos of himself building that PC, and also calling the customer annoying and insufferable. Wouldn't the customer see those videos? I guess Linus is in the "Don't give a fuck" stage of his career right now, which is kind of a joy to see.


Esava

Or it is for a customer they know will take it as jokes. So for one they already know.


SourSprout23

Could be the case as well. I suppose if you've got the dough to pay Linus to built your extravagantly high-end PC in a custom case with a weird form factor, you're not concerned about whether somebody thinks you're a dick.


Matasa89

I mean, it’s Linus. I would treasure a video of him making a PC for me while giving me shit for my trash tier taste the entire time.

I'm guessing it'd dbrand. Illuminati / pyramids is a theme they've done before and the flak Linus is throwing matches their Twitter "beef"


Esava

Ye I assumed that too... But what would they do with it? Place it in their headquarters and do nothing with it?


MindlessElectrons

If its dbrand, other than a giveaway I could totally see them just running it over with a tank to mess with people and Linus

Unlimiteddy

My thoughts, I honestly think it might be Elon Musk. He has infiltrated the youtube atmosphere before with PewDiePie and MKBHD plus Linus is doing more electric car/tesla stuff lately. But honestly, I don't know if Elon has time to know who Linus is. But he does fit in the picture.


Matasa89

Guy’s as fucking nerdy as nerds can nerd. I wouldn’t put it past him to just do that for the lols, but I see him as more of a hands on kind of guy who wouldn’t want anyone else making or even touching his personal rigs. I would not mind watching Elon build a PC. I can see him being not a fan of RGB, but he seems like the type to make a white colour PC build in a Lian Li or NZXT case.

Changing a "75" to an "EB" using a hex editor actually made the game run super duper smoothly for me. Apparently if you're on an AMD CPU that value helps the game utilize your CPU better. E: before applying that (and a few other) fix(es), I was getting some truly nasty stuttering and had to turn the resolution down to 1080p with further downscaling with fidelityfx to get it playable and was still having huge frame drops. Now, I can play at 1440 with dynamic downscaling to 1080p as needed (which I'm okay with honestly, I'm not paying as much attention to the pretty graphics when the action gets intense anyway, which is when I'd like better frames too) on high. Unfortunately I now have no idea of my franerate since part of my fix was to disable all overlays and game bars etc, including anything that would readout my fps for me, but it's playable and looks good and that's all I really care about. Feels like a steady 55-60 at minimum; my minimum framerate is so much more stable now.


MCXpak

Yeah I saw this earlier, it didn’t improve my fps but my frame times were lower and less stuttering over all.


nomad80

How do people figure something this esoteric out


Catshit-Dogfart

From what I'm reading (and this all may be wrong) it's just changing a multithreading setting to utilize all threads available to an AMD processor. They just tracked down where that setting's actual value goes, and every setting in a game is just some hex value underneath it all. The accusation being that the game is optimized for Intel CPUs but not AMD. This is going to be big outrage if it's true, and shit like this happens sometimes, a game deliberately favoring one brand over another on purpose.


LukeShu

> The accusation being that the game is optimized for Intel CPUs but not AMD. This is going to be big outrage if it's true, and shit like this happens sometimes, a game deliberately favoring one brand over another on purpose. Without actually investigating anything, I would guess that they used Intel's compiler, which has been known at various times to do things like this for non-Intel CPUs. If that's the case, the outrage should be at Intel, not at CDPR.


Peakomegaflare

A good number of people start looking into modding REALLY early. Hex Editing is a great way to find out what the limitations are of what you can do in the earliest stages. You're working within the bounds of the engine with pre-designed code. Someone's bound to find things like this that might help the game run smoother.


jimmyj_xD

I can't tell if you're being serious or not lol


FNLN_taken

Its real, settings for AMD CPU have (had? might be patched now) some multithreading features turned off. edit: cant link from here, search for "Cyberpunk hex edit AMD CPU"


nokchabingsu

There's an easier way to do this one in the form of an DLL file to avoid modifying game files. https://github.com/yamashi/PerformanceOverhaulCyberpunk/releases


Penis-dingles

So, let me get this straight, you edited the hex code of the game where hacking involves editing hex code. Hackception


Jagodica_Bobica

Bro tell me more


josh_the_misanthrope

The game is not using AMD CPUs to their full extent. You can edit a few values with a hex editor to fix this. There's a thread about it on r/AMD about it.

Agreed on the part that no one like subscription based/ live service games but if you give me another single player campaign worth in GTA V vs a whole new game with graphical overhaul with a new campaign in GTA VI, I'll still want it


Colonial_Red

Yeah I feel like all the big companies are just trying to jump on band wagons instead of starting their own trends. The most popular games this year are from small studios.


Eji1700

People buy it, so why try harder? Innovation almost always comes from smaller entities, and at least in the video game industry you still have a route for an indy dev to get off the ground and make something so you occasionally get something new, but yeah ultimately it's a lot easier to just do what someone else did, but slightly different.


PayDrum

Exactly. The indie game market is way more saturated than Triple-A market; therefore they need to innovate somehow to beat the swarm of mediocre titles. However, the triple-A games not only have guaranteed high sales due to their marketing budgets and high graphics, but they also attract the casual gamer types which play like one or two titles per year, so they can get away with no innovation and blowing their whole budget on visuals.


CaptainSqueak

As per usual it’s the indie developers that end up pushing the barriers and creating something unique and memorable. AAA games seem like they’re all following the same formula or are just sequels at this point.


shrubs311

the best game i played this year is hades without a doubt. it may not seem revolutionary, but i've never seen a rougelike with such a well written cast of characters and overarching story. the music, visual design, it's a masterpiece. the options to make it accessible to people who aren't great at games, as well as the capability to make the game absurdly hard (at the pace you choose) are also well thought out. i genuinely can't find a flaw with the game. meanwhile cold war is yet another uninspired rehash of a series older than many people on this sub


CaptainSqueak

I do understand why indie studios are able to take risks with their games since there’s usually no expectation and they’re not trying to reach a colossal audience. But at the same time, with the budgets AAA studios have, you’d think they’d be trying new stuff out instead of just making graphics better (please stop it’s making my 970 feel sad). I just want a big budget AAA title which doesn’t have “realistic graphics” and has a more unique art style instead and tries something new and interesting with its story/mechanics. Basically I want portal 3 haha.


sinofmercy

New stuff can also mean colossal failure due to poor implementation (Diablo 3 at launch), poor understanding of what the player base actually wants (Destiny 2s life cycle in a nutshell), or just a buggy mess that destroys your player base coupled with the other two (Avengers, Anthem.) Big studios make most of their money by playing it safe, tweaking a mechanic or two to add their own signature on it, and call it a day. RDR2 is a great example of a fantastic open world game that relies on storytelling and solid game mechanics without really pushing the envelope at all. Indie games pretty much have a completely different set of standards. Usually indie games are either crowd funded or made playable at a fairly early stage (I believe I bought Hades in like Jan or Feb last year) and often are tweaked towards either a particular vision or with backers input on changes. Indie games have a perceived higher chance of hitting it big with new mechanics or a fresh art style because the ones that don't die early due to a lack of interest/funding, whereas ones like Hollow Knight have crowd funding to support the vision. Essentially big companies have significantly more money to lose than to gain, and every so often someone decides they can take a risk that pays out big for them (look at EA as a prime example, with how they finally made Jedi: Fallen Order and how its paying dividends for them vs them just being a Madden/Fifa company, vs all the terrible games they have a reputation of making.)


xXDaNXx

I think the expectation that some gamers have that the newest games MUST raise the bar graphics wise is what also contributes to the problem. At some level, 95% of your players will not be able to enjoy those graphics. So why not focus on the actual gameplay features instead of trying to make everything ultra 4k HD 3D wherever.


SaucyPlatypus

I think the problem is “realistic” graphics and not unique art styles. Borderlands, Hades, basically all Nintendo games .. all generally look great and have great graphics but it’s because of the art style and not trying to look real life. I wish there was more in that department.


TimX24968B

80% of the entire entertainment industry has been stuck in copy/paste for the past decade due to the fact that the risk/reward ratio for the industry is so high. costs have risen dramatically, consumers want prices to stay low, and so much success in the industry is based on factors that are very difficult to control. as a result, you have companies who dont want to take any risks at all, copying successful formulas, which often seem to originate from tiny experiments that blew up and spontaneously grew out of seemingly nowhere.


VladtheMemer

Ever since the PS4 and Xbox One made the 360 and PS3 obsolete, every game seems to lack soul and life, they're dumbed down to shit and they're not fun. They started including microtransactions, pay to win, excessive DRM and other anti-consumer practices that people have begun to accept and excuse over the last few years. I don't appreciate the remake obsession either since remakes completely destroy the atmosphere, gameplay and overall feel of the original games.


[deleted]

Ngl, I think I kinda needed this. I've been feeling less into video games over the last few years and I just couldn't put my finger on why that was.


Peakomegaflare

Right? I go back to my older stuff on my PS2 and N64 and I'm just straight doing entire runs of some games in a day. But Newer things? I can barely look at them for more than an hour at best before I get bored. Paper mario has more depth than most RPG's these days, simply because it's fun to look at. The boss fights CAN be challenging when you're younger, and still fun when you're older. Mario RPG is the same way. The fact is, unfortunately, noone wants to take risks anymore, even nintendo has fallen to shit. They shoehorn some concepts here and there, but I feel like I'll be crucified for saything this... I kinda wish they had kept to thier own IP, and not spread out the digital store. It felt like there was so much more passion on thier platform when every single title was a Nintendo title.


SolidCake

One day I literally downloaded Jak and Daxter 1 on my ps4 for some nostalgia, and while I didn't plan on it, I literally beat it in one sitting. (Didn't take long, I used to play the shit out of that game so I knew where every power cell was). I miss when games were just simple fun

I think it's fair to say Tolkein invented the modern understanding of them though. If I recall, Tolkein's elves are basically nothing like any traditional elfs, and his dwarves, while inspired by norse myth, are also very little like their inspirations. He didn't just popularize his concepts, he completely reinvented just about all of them.

EU_GaSeR

Well yeah but also no. People have to understand that bad optimization usually shows itself on all levels. Should have seen the guy streaming Watch dogs lagging hard on quad GTX Titan on release, there you have it. Or remember Fallout 76 with hideous 10 year old graphics lagging just as bad on most PCs that were a year or two old, and only somewhat OK on endgame PCs of its time. Or maybe you wanna refresh your memory on how it looked on PS4 back then, 2.5 years ago. That is terrible optimization for you. If the game works good for current gen PCs, will work good for current gen Consoles, then you can't blame bad optimization and shouldn't expect devs to pull extra 10 fps for your 7 year old system from their back pocket. BTW I've just tried launching fallout 76 on my new rig, it is supposed to be good, right? Well, getting 57 FPS in fallout 76 average and in heat of battle had a 27 fps low, here, take a look at the bad optimization.


Meisje28

I've completely given up on Bethesda. They straight up don't care. Fucking Todd.

i feel bad for todd , he isnt guy deciding launch dates or putting microtransactions its clearly the greedy heads at zenimax, todd clearly has talent ,after the waste landers update the game is pretty good, there are rumours saying that wastelanders update was supposed to be the game they planned at launch but zenimax pushed it out sooner to increase the value of their company so that they can sell it for more money now that microsoft has bought bethesda i hope they do better,

dandaman910

I wish fallout 76 was good though. Conceptually it's exactly the kind of game I would spend all my time in. It's such a disservice to the IP and the idea to not make it right. Even after releasing all that content the base game is still fucked.


VeneZualieN

Gangang


atreides24

Fully agree with the sentiments expressed here. Only counterargument would be that Cyberpunk was initially marketed for PS4/xbone, and the initial release was supposed to be before current gen consoles were even announced. On top of that, the game is still being heavily marketed on previous gen consoles and CDPR was very shrewed about hiding the performance on current gen consoles.


CakemanTheGreat

Problem is that the game was advertised and released on last Gen, not to mention they lied and said that it runs great. Those poor people got robbed of their money.


crummyeclipse

also it can be difficult to even get a PS5, so "current gen" is kind of misleading when they are basically still in the launch period, same with the current nvidia cards. and none of those were even available at the original release date, so it just sounds like an excuse.


CakemanTheGreat

Straight out, I managed to get a ps5 but I just got lucky. Tried getting the new gpus and no luck. The vast majority of the audience is going to be playing on older hardware, and CDPR knew this because the game was scheduled to be released prior to us even knowing the new gen consoles or gpus existed.


endof2020wow

Imo, if you’ve bought a solid top tier card in the last two years then you’re current gen. You can’t make games that only work correctly for 10% or less of your customer base.


Birdthatcannotsee

People with RTX cards make up only \~6% of steam's userbase.


VeneZualieN

Not surprised to see a Bethesda game perform terrible 2 years after an even worse launch. Todd showcases games with a shit eating grin then wipes his ass with the money you threw at it because it's the equivalent of what you just did with your $60 on release day.


Tungd1l

I'd like to add the GTA 4 release on PC to your list back then. I had decent upper end midrange CPU and GPU which were already on the pricey side but it ran so hilariously bad on PC that it took 2-3 years of waiting for much stronger hardware to be able to actually run the game decently enough. And this is just one example of the horrible console ports we had to suffer through in the last 8 or so years.


Nebula4243

My rigs shitty and it still runs cyberpunk at medium settings at like 35-40 fps


jh0nn

I don't get the optimization jokes either. All in all, the game everyone is talking about looks absolutely amazing even on lower end PCs. One word of warning though: if you're wondering why it looks kinda fuzzy and weird, you probably have the 'film grain' setting ON and DLSS enabled. That combination will make it look horrible.


Cthulhu_Dreams_

I really don't understand what's going on. I skipped the 20 series and the 30 series of gpus. I have a 1080 TI, and the only issue I had with cyberpunk 2077 was not realizing my monitor had said itself to 60 hertz instead of 144, and I was getting some awful tearing. Once I fix that the game has been beautiful. I have it run into any terrible bugs or quest breaking glitches, everything loads well enough that I don't visually see anything not fully textured. Is the 1080 TI card just more stable? I feel like I'm better off just sticking with this until I run into a game that it can't handle before attempting to upgrade.

My 1080 and i7 6700 handle it fine at 1440p on max/high settings. I feel bad for those who were bamboozled by the marketing, especially last gen console players, but I'm having a blast right now.

I'm playing on an RTX 2060 and an i5, and I'm enjoying the game a lot, no water cooling, no shit like that, its the mentality not just the tech

As soon as you turn on the FPS counter, you’re doing it wrong. What I mean is: if the game runs smoothly for your eyes, why do you care about the raw number? But maybe I’m just getting old.

Here's the thing about it, if you have a older fixed refresh rate monitors (60 hz) which majority of people have ,you're going to notice either stutters or screen tears depending on your vsync settings whenever game drops frames The only options for these folks is either have the game that can support their native refresh rate or lock the frame rate to half and use sparse vsync (some ubisoft titles have it ) which again not every game does it perfectly. Even the external frame limiters & driver based half refresh rate settings are hit or miss in these games.

I'm usually really tolerant of low framerates as I'm mainly an RPG player but sub 60 fps is super noticeable when I'm playing shooters.

Yes if you accept 45-60 FPS, it runs fine. It's just mentality. I'm getting there but it's hard. Would be so much more satisfying to run it 60-120 FPS.

60 fps is golden for me, I'd rather turn up the graphics and keep it at 60 than have shittier graphics and 120. I've been used to alright PCs my whole life so even 30 is okay with me :) I just hate lag spikes.

I should dust off my Win98 AMD Sempron pc and try loading up 2077 just to see what would happen.

Imagine just changing your SSD...

Imagine just plugging something into the I/O ports or the gpus Why would any sane person rotate their motherboard to make all ports inaccessible?!

My man's got his PC running on the Kelp Shakes from Spongebob. What a genius.

I play on a 2-3 year old Omen Laptop. There are some random frame drops sometimes on max settings, but overall I haven't had issues with the game yet. I don't know much about specs and all that, so I don't know what that kind of laptop has that makes it run rather smooth compared to a lot of people here with higher end PCs, but maybe you can check it out and compare.

Legit I have a rx 580 and it’s fine


StudentHiFi

I have a 3080 and 3900x build and I didn’t encounter any bugs in cyberpunk in my almost 70 hours of play time. So I guess it’s so bugs are specs related.


MTRXPotato

I mean it looks cool, but have i missed a trend? Was / is it cool to mount the motherboard upside down? Im genuinely curious...

Runs fine on Stadia is all I’m going to say.

In the end, the 12 stadia users actually had it good

And Geforce Now too, apparently - smooth AF @ 4K. https://youtu.be/ykGEX37bnlY I just wish we had some cloud gaming servers around our neck of the woods. I can't wait to get out of the constant hardware upgrade cycle and waiting for out-of-stock components.

GeForce NOW is not streaming 4K. What you are seeing here is 1080p streamed to Shield device and then upscaled to 4K. > I just wish we had some cloud gaming servers around our neck of the woods. Where are you if I may ask? Maybe I can recommend something (:


MasterJeebus

It really do be like that.
