Link still no worky. (invite expired). Assuming Chippy hasn't actually banned me as he doesn't know my username!

There's something wrong if Battlefield 4 is using up 90% of your cpu, I get mid 20's on current cpu, can't remember what my i7 4770K got, think it was around 40%.

A ssd will also help, ssd's are the reason why Dice put the deploy timer in at the start of the round on BF4 multiplayer to stop the people on hdd from getting left behind whilst everyone on ssd's took all the good vehicles :D ;)

Theres nothing wrong with his cpu. my old i5 3570k used to hit 90% to 100% at times. i know a i7 3770k uses around 80% to 85%. I Also have 5820k like you And im pretty sure it uses more then mid 20%. mid 40s maybe or more. But then your comparing a 12 thread cpu to his 4thread cpu.
No way your old 4770k used 40%. if playing on 64 player conquest. Was you just tabing out and checking? or playing smaller maps or less players?
 
There has been a lot of confusion RE attachments since the patch so I thought I would RE post this:

Fangled Grip decreases first shot recoil by 20%.

Vergo Grip increases on the move accuracy by 50%.

Stubtato Grip decreases Spread increase per shot(Increasing accuracy of followup shots) by 20% and makes maximum spread not as detrimental.

No Grip increases your SDEC(Spread decrease per second) by 33%.

Weapons with around 770RPM have a moderate amount of SDEC, but it's definitely enough for where your engagement distances are.

Anything lower than 770RPM will have better SDEC, anything higher than 770RPM will have worse SDEC

Do you have a gun that shoots at 900RPM, then you have low SDEC, so a No Grip is a viable option, but if you're confident enough in your ability to take out targets before your Spread needs to reset, you can also take the Stubtato/Vergo. Fangled if you don't like the first shot recoil of your weapon.

Do you have a slow and accurate gun (700RPM), then you likely have enough SDEC, which means, the No Grip won't make much of a difference, either take the (Vergo) if you shoot on the move more often, or the (Stubtato) if are you the accurate player who prefers standing still to get the best out of his accuracy.

If you have a middleground gun, around 770RPM, then you kinda have to experiment, but IMHO, Vergo and Stubtato tend to work the best for me. Fangled could be useful if you have trouble with first shot recoil.

So don't panic, and don't assume that 33% less SDEC is that awful, you also have a positive in your Grips, and those positives are much more helpful than the SDEC penalty is detrimental.

Also worth pointing out that the heavy barrel is just a straight buff to any gun if you can control the vertical recoil. The muzzle break on the other hand will decrease accuracy while making it easier to control vertical recoil.

How the newbie's must feel when we're on the other side.


Clearly Nexus is the one doing the slow dance.

LOL! :D

I love me a good slow dance, care to tango with my GTA 5 character sometime? :p

Same as TS you join the server, move yourself into the channel you want or remain in the "text chat only" aka Nexus chat rooms.

Seems to be pretty decent, it has a lower footprint than TS and less usage.

Oh I have my own channel?! :D

Will be on sometime this week to test it out, does it have soundboard?
 
That hopless heros servers kicks me and fanatic soon as we spawn.

Reason: Error

Game disconnected: you were kicked by an admin. Stated reason: violated K/DR Limit #1 Name1.

Just tested and around 40% like i said above.

Yeah believe that server has a 2.5KDR limit, you boys are clearly 2pr04Heroes.

Defo prefer Discord, seems to hold up well with 8-10 users on the server.
 
wont be around much this week, the WC project has started :). old 7950s in my PC at the moment, water blocks and heatsinks on the 390's today, dremel was out on the 780t today to make way for the 360 radiator :)...all exciting stuff.

Josh seems to be liking Discord as well, hopefully it holds up well when there are a few of us playing Battlefield.

Right chaps,

Me, Chippy & Jonny have been sorting Discord out, and it's very good. Much easier and better than TS. I'm going to leave the TS3 Server up and running to give people a chance to use Discord.

Basically go here and download it, then connect to this.

You can either connect via the via app or via your server browser.

Any problems I will be online this evening for some BF4 and I'll sort you out.

Chippy(Flash) has server admin rights so he can also help sort things out.

We'll give it a trail run for a couple of weeks to test the quality on a heavily populated server night and see what people opinions are as to if we keep using it or not. If we decided it's a go-er I will end the subscription for TS3.

Not that I chat anyway but for those who do, can you use soundboard? I find Nexus's Arnie quotes amusing at times :p

Edit - Just went on and Stulid is crystal clear so I say it's a success. I don't like how the MSI AB overlay shows on it though

Looking good. Got a build log?

No soundboard yet, think that may come as a "premium" feature in the future.

Yup me and Jonny realised pretty soon that the clarity of the voices is much better, Sidey now appears to have a huskie man of the woods voice.

Compared to TS I'd say it's much better.

Used to play mixed modes, various game sizes. Never saw usage that high, but bench-marking multiplayer cpu usage would be impossible, too many variables :(

He'd mentioned a 4790k thought that was his cpu, reread he said thats his friends, he's got 4690k. His high usage could be down to the fact he isn't overclocked and he is "only" playing at 1080p 60hz. Higher the resolution the more work on the gpu less on cpu.
