  1. Guys, another question, this time about gaming laptops. Does a graphics card with the same model number in a laptop and desktop perform the same? For example, this machine... https://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070-512gb-solid-state-drive-matte-black-with-gold-diamond-cut/6211741.p?skuId=6211741 ... has a Nividia GTX 1070. Is that the exact same card as in the desktops? I am in the market for a gaming pc and a work laptop. I was thinking of getting both a gaming desktop PC and a macbook pro but then I thought I could just get one high end gaming laptop and hook up all my peripherals to use as a desktop at home. Thanks for any information or opinions, I appreciate the help.
  2. Thanks for the quick reply Xern, that is some good information and matches my research.
  3. Guys thanks for the feedback. I am about to pull the trigger on a new PC because I am tired of getting pawned on my 10 year old toaster. Do AMD CPUs play better with AMD G cards or it is it fine to use a Nividia g card with an AMD chip? How does this one compare to the one in the OP? Is the Intel chip as good as AMD? What about the Nividia G card? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BDTTQ1M/ Here is another AMD one by Dell: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076DL7DLX/ And a similar one by HP: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071KX171L/ Basically I am looking to spend $1K to $1.5K on an Amazon Prime product. I want to use it as my every day PC for work and for it to be good enough to play pretty much any game at high settings. I would like it to be future proof for a number of years. If you have any specific recommendations from Amazon I would love to hear them. Thanks in advance.
  4. pr0digio on hc server because he just annoys me. Always knifes you and then gibs again with knife. And he never says anything and always makes the teams uneven because he wants to only play on allies.
  5. Thanks captn. Any particular product from there I should look at?
  6. Thanks for the replies guys! It seems the rigs with Intel chips are liquid cooled but the AMD ones are not. Would the rig I posted be very loud with the fans they supply? I am pretty sensitive to noise. If liquid cooled is quieter I would consider paying for that.
  7. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1338643-REG/cyberpowerpc_gma420_gamer_master_ryzen_5.html Looking to spend around $1K. I don't want to build it myself. This vendor B&H has pretty good deals and the CyberPowerPC seems to be their gaming brand but is probably just some dude building gaming PCs for them. Should I get liquid cooled? Thanks guys!
  8. Anyone play Fortnite? I have been playing Battle Royale mode for about 3 weeks on PC. It has some good things and bad things, but mostly bad IMO. I find myself getting frustrated and tense mostly when playing and having fun like 25% of the time. It is pretty addicting and I have spent a lot of hours playing but it feels like a waste of time. ET was fun from the first game and the game play and spawn design kept it quick and always fun. Good things: Free download on PC Different modes: solo, duo, squad Different weapons Unreal engine is mature Game play is good Fun to loot Fun to play on a good squad when people have mics and communicate well The PC controls become familiar quickly Bad things: It is difficult to get good and you have to put a lot of hours into it. Building is OK once you get used to it but it can be annoying. It adds complexity to the game. If people don't use mics on your squads or duos your team is weaker and less fun It takes a while to get to the end. Each game takes a while. The end game is very different and you have to be a good sniper and good at building. Too much strategy. A lot of downtime between fights that are often one-sided. Too many pros and try-hard's. No first person view. Looting gets boring after a while. Let me know what you guys think about Fortnite. My handle on there is soar479, friend me if you want to play.
  9. Ratspit good to see you on the forums man.
  10. Thanks Xernicus! I checked r_primitives with 8.960.11.1000 and it was 0 so I will set it to 2 like you suggest. I also have not restarted my PC since rolling back to 8.960.11.1000, I guess I will do that at some point
  11. Hi Xernicus, I used Windows to rollback the graphics driver to the previous version. It went back to version 8.960.11.1000 from 15.200.1062.1004. I logged into ET and with 20 players on HC server it was at least playable. So hopefully this is enough of a fix for now. I checked and confirmed that it was the 'AMD Catalyst Control Center' that I used recently to upgrade from 8.960.11.1000 from 15.200.1062.1004. So I did not use the Crimson release and used what AMD recommended. Thanks to the ideas in your tutorial it led me to try a simple driver rollback before doing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!
  12. OK thanks Xernicus, I will follow your tutorial. I am attaching the output from dxdiag to show my current display driver config. DxDiag.txt
  13. Hi guys, I play ET a lot mostly on HC server and I am getting so much lag now it is unplayable on the HC server with 24 active players. Before it was not a problem. The recent changes to my PC are: - Installed Epic Game Launcher and Fortnite - Upgrade AMD graphics driver because of warning from Fortnite. Used the automated upgrade software from https://support.amd.com/en-us/download. My internet connection is 25 Mbps or so over a Wifi connection and my ping shows at about 15 in the ET game so I don't think that is the problem. I have not changed anything in my ET config since I started playing the game 15 years ago so it is probably default. I am running a Windows 7 desktop, AMD Phenom II X4 830 processor, 64 bit at 2.80 Ghz with 8GB RAM. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon HD 5570. It is a 10 yr old machine but should be OK running ET Any advice would help, thanks.
  14. Get well soon man!
  15. Seeing them live at the end of the month.

    Guys, I referred wick so I am hoping I can get my next level. I am alone on the hc and silent servers a lot late at night and do a lot of work in administering the server. I could use the extra commands to deal with the riffraff.
  17. I am on Silent1 about half of my time online.

    OK I will have to give a referral. I forgot about that, thanks.
  19. Hi guys, I have not said hello on the forums in a while, so "hello" and happy holidays and new years to everyone. I have been playing regularly on HC and Silent 1 usually 10 PM to 3 AM EST. I have not been playing as much as I used to but I still log in to blow off some steam. Often I am the only admin on because of the late hour. So I have found myself with a good amount of responsibility keeping the trolls at bay, the teams even, etc. It has been stressful at time when players gang up on you and say "bad admin" for example. I don't want this to turn into a job that is not fun. Like Gengis said today, having fun is the number one priority and I am going to keep it that way. But I do my fair share of admin work. There are A LOT of trolls on and I find it hard knowing when to cut people off with a verbal warning or a !warn. I always give a verbal before a !warn and then another verbal before a !mute and then another verbal before a !kick. Players fight among themselves. And then there are players that troll me and some of who, honestly, I do not like and annoy me. It is easier when there are other admins on who can have your back and support action that you take. IRL I just moved to a new apartment in Philadelphia and it is in nice shape but the heat does not work well and we have had record low temperatures here in the East of the US. So I have been fighting my landlord about it. I think this is someone most can relate to around the world. Landlords or people that rent properties are difficult and only want your money, they don't want to help you have a nice home. We call them "slumlords" in the US. Hopefully soon I can get my next level as I am a learning admin but have a good amount of responsibility and even @absoluto noticed this. Thanks and see you on the servers.
  20. Xernicus you don't understand my response to the original issue. Pr0digio! is running over team mines and getting himself team-killed and then filing a complaint with F1 against the guy who planted the mines, like Nader, to lose XP. He is allowed to complain in this nature. I have not seen Pr0digio! purposely run over mines in excess. When I said that he gibbed me with a knife, I mean he first kills me as an enemy in battle, and then finishes it off by knifing so I can't get revived. That too is allowed, just annoying when it is done every time. Otherwise, like I said, Pr0digio! is a quiet player who follows the rules.
  21. I would say just let this slide. He may or may not have purposely stood near the dyno and he has the right to file a complaint if tk'd. I understand that Pr0digio! can be kind of annoying in that he usually files complaint and if he kills you as a covie, which he always is, he will always knife you to gib. But those things are all allowed. And there are times too when he doesn't file, so I think he is fair in general. In general, he is a quiet player, never talks any shit and never breaks the rules so I think just let it go.
  22. That's cool. I thought dogs only knew how to, well, doggy paddle. Never seen one do that. You have a prodigy on your hands. Submit that to AFV or one of those sites like Break! and get paid!
  23. I understand the English-only rule. I was wondering what type of phrases are not allowed, if any. I didn't see anything in the Wiki about that which is why I asked here. Thanks.
  24. Can someone let me know or refer me to a page? What does an admin do about racist, etc. language? Thanks.
