How the Cyberpunk 2077 Soundtrack Found Its Dystopian Sound in a Soviet-Era Synthesizer

https://ift.tt/2Knk6oM

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is arguably the the biggest video game release of 2020, transporting players to a gritty sci-fi world full of bio-augmented criminals and lowlives. True to its name, the game explores some pretty deep concepts about cyberspace and what life might be like in a futuristic transhuman society where technological advancements have turned us less human and more machine. So it’s no surprise that the game’s score often sounds like something recovered from the year 2077 and brought back to our time. At its very best, the soundtrack elevates this grim dystopia.

In the wake of Cyberpunk 2077‘s massive launch, Den of Geek spoke with the trio of composers behind the game’s score: Marcin Przybylowicz (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), P.T. Adamczyk (Gwent: The Witcher Card Game), and Paul Leonard-Morgan (Dredd). The three composers discussed the soundtrack’s conception and revealed the unconventional methods they used to create the score’s unique, ominous sound.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Original Score, which contains two discs-worth of the game’s enormous pool of music, is available now to buy and stream. As players have discovered in the week since the game’s launch, the score isn’t exactly the pulsating, adrenaline-fueled synth barrage some might be expecting from a cyberpunk title. It’s largely ambient, with ominous layers of otherworldly bass bellows, tribal beats that sound both futuristic and primal, and melancholic wades through placid synth soundscapes. There are definitely bangers on the tracklist, but what stands out is that many of the pieces almost feel introspective.

“You’re dealing with a complex story, and there’s [a vast] number of characters in Cyberpunk,” Adamczyk explains. “Finding a theme or an idea or a motif and being confident in it…that’s really difficult because there are so many different things happening in the story, and you could score it a thousand different ways. And they all would be good enough. But the question remains, ‘What is the essence?’”

Przybylowicz was the first of the three composers to start work on the score for Cyberpunk 2077 very early in the game’s production. In laying the foundations for what the game’s music would sound like (the elusive “essence” Adamczyk speaks of), he set out to create something unique, though he was also committed to honoring the source material that the game is steeped in.

“We were trying to find out how our take on Cyberpunk would differ from other bits of culture,” says Marcin of the initial creative process. “We must never forget that our game is not a game that is simply set in a yberpunk universe. Our game is Cyberpunk 2077, which means that it’s based on a very well described and very lore-heavy, already existing universe, Cyberpunk 2020 by Mike Pondsmith. So that means there is a ton of source material, tons of creative work that has already been done before. So we needed to reach out to these books and see if we could pinpoint anything that would remain useful for us after we move the events from 2020 to 2077. Then we started to formulate how that would translate to the game’s sonic palette.”

The original tabletop game paints a picture of an alternate future in which corruption reigns and oppressive megacorporations wage war on each other, as the denizens of gang-infested, urban sprawls like Night City struggle to survive on the streets. Humans and machines intertwine via cybernetic enhancements, and this unholy merging of flesh and technology is represented vividly in the game’s score, which often employs the use of synth that sounds both metallic and organic.

The majority of electronic music is created from a widely-available database of preset sounds built into a computer or synth. To create Cyberpunk 2077’s unique sonic identity, the composers eschewed convention and took a more experimental approach, using a slew of odd machines to create bespoke sounds that give the score its ethereal edge.

“What we’ve done is ridiculous,” Leonard-Morgan explains. “It hasn’t been done before. We’ve composed with virtually no software at all. It’s all external gear. So it’s all weird and wacky synthesizers, all weird modular synths, always stuff which you then had to record the audio and process that around. You can never recreate the sounds again.”

The trio used rare, long out-of-production machines, took their already unique built-in sounds, and manipulated them further to compose the game’s music. The result is a tapestry of interconnected compositions that have a dark, Frankenstein’s-monster bizarreness to them, and one of the most prominent and peculiar synths you’ll hear in the mix has a curious background of its own.

“P.T. and I own our own Soviet-made Polivokses. Mine’s from 1982,” Przybylowicz says. “My Polivoks still has a price tag: 800 Rubles, which is, I think by today’s standards, 10 bucks. It’s a duophonic synthesizer similar to the Moog Sub 37, which is a very famous duophonic unit. I heard a story that during the Cold War, blueprints [of the Moog Sub 37] were stolen by Soviet agents in order to obtain something that they could copy [to build their own synthesizer]. Supposedly they were trying to make an exact copy, but you know, something always goes wrong on the production lines–they ended up with a machine that is truly, remarkably ugly-sounding. Yet still sounds like nothing else.”

Best Cyberpunk 2077 Weapons and Where to Find Them

By Matthew Byrd

Another strange machine in the trio’s fleet of synths is the Folktek Mescaline, an infernal-looking mess of jet-black panels, spiraling bronze detailing, and a scattered arrangement of inputs, knobs, buttons, and switches. It looks so intimidating and unapproachable that it’s no wonder the trio harnessed its power in their compositions.

“All three of us own Folktek Mescalines,” Przybylowicz says. “It’s a small modular system that allows you to basically do anything. It doesn’t come with a very good manual. It doesn’t feature keyboards. It doesn’t feature any self-explanatory indications of what’s doing what. So it’s all based on experimentation.”

Adamczyk elaborates, “You can’t really decide, ‘I’m just going to play an A minor chord’ on a Mescaline. Getting an A minor chord is a real pain in the ass because you have to pretty much tune the machine to that specific chord. You have to try to find your way with these instruments and try to somehow find a musical way of using them. Half of the time, you have no idea what you’re doing.”

The game boasts around eight hours of music that, amazingly, is virtually all in the key of A minor to allow the different compositions to flow seamlessly in and out of each other as the player transitions between different encounters and scenarios.

“Games are like living organisms,” Przybylowicz explains. “It’s dependent on the player’s actions, even if we’re talking about the most linear scripted games. Ours obviously is nothing like that. It’s a full-fledged, open-world RPG with multiple branching lines in the narrative arc. So obviously it’s even more difficult [to compose for], but I think in a sense it’s almost liberating to work on a thing that changes so many times during even a single playthrough, you know?”

Cyberpunk 2077 had fans practically salivating in the days leading to its release date. It’s not only the next chapter of a long-beloved sci-fi franchise, but CD Projekt RED’s follow-up to the all-time classic The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which is, to put it mildly, a tough act to follow. The composers feel the magnitude of the moment, though they remain unshakable, confident in the work they’ve put forward.

“Working on a game of such a big scale, ambition and quality and fan base…I think it naturally adds to the pressure,” says Przybylowicz. “So the bigger the hype gets, the bigger the expectations are getting, and the bigger the pressure gets. I think it’s at least in some parts a natural process of this profession, when you get to work on a project of this reputation.”

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

“It doesn’t matter for me whether it’s a one million dollar film, a hundred million dollar film, a billion-dollar game, or whatever,” Leonard-Morgan adds. “The point is it’s all about the creative process. That’s the part that I really, really enjoy. And I think as soon as you start letting external forces come into your head, that’s where I start to kind of…Self-doubt is the wrong phrase. But you start second-guessing, and second guessing is just the worst thing you can do as a composer.”

You can listen to the score below:

Cyberpunk 2077 is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.

How to Copy Your Windows Installation to an SSD

If you're still using a traditional, spinning hard disk on your PC, you're missing out. Swapping it out for a solid-state drive (SSD) is one of the best upgrades you can make in terms of speeding up your computer. It'll boot faster, programs will launch instantly, and games won't take so long to load anymore.

You could reinstall Windows from scratch, if you wanted to, and start new with a fresh, squeaky-clean system. While that might seem simpler, it's actually much more of a hassle. Copying your drive will get you up and running much quicker, as long as you follow these instructions.

What You'll Need: An SSD

Obviously, in order to upgrade to an SSD, you'll need to, well, buy an SSD. We have some recommendations here, though if you're on a pretty strict budget, we have a separate list of cheap SSDs as well. Make sure to buy the right form factor for your computer (some laptops will use 2.5-inch drives, while others might use M.2 or mSATA drives), and get one big enough to fit all your data. If you have a 500GB hard drive now, you should probably spring for a similarly sized SSD (or larger, to accommodate for future data).

The only exception is if you're on a desktop computer and have room for multiple hard drives. In that case, you could store Windows and your programs on the SSD while putting your music, movies, and other media on a second, larger hard disk.

What You'll Need: A USB-to-SATA Dock

During this process, you'll need both your SSD and your old hard drive connected to your computer at the same time. If you're using a laptop with only one hard drive slot, that means you'll need an external adapter, dock, or enclosure that can connect your bare SSD to your computer over USB. (Again, desktop users may not need this if they have room for two drives inside their PC—you can just install it internally alongside your old hard drive.)

What You'll Need: AOMEI Backupper for Windows

There are many different drive-cloning tools on the market, but when cloning a hard drive to SSD, I recommend AOMEI Backupper, since it's free, easy to use, and takes into account a few quirks that sometimes pop up during clones from hard drives to SSDs.

The free Standard version is fine; there's no need to upgrade to the paid version for what we're doing today. You will need to enter your email and subscribe to the newsletter to get the download link, though. Thankfully, you can just unsubscribe later.

Once you've gathered up those necessities, it's time to get started.

Back Up Your Data (and Free Up Space, if Necessary)

Before you start messing with drives and formatting partitions, it's absolutely necessary to back up your data first. A simple misclick can result in you erasing everything, so do not continue until you've backed up all of your data. If you don't have a backup yet, check out our favorite software for the job—though for today's purposes, copying your important data to an external hard drive will do in a pinch.

If you're upgrading to an SSD that's smaller than your current hard drive, you'll want to take extra care here. This isn't as common as it once was, thanks to bigger, less expensive SSDs, but if that's the case for you, you'll need to delete some files and free up space on your hard drive before cloning it. Otherwise, your data won't fit.

Once your data is safe and secure, continue onto the next step.

Plug In and Initialize Your SSD

Plug your SSD into the SATA-to-USB adapter, then plug that into your computer. If it's a brand-new drive, you probably won't see the drive pop up in File Explorer, but don't worry; it just needs to be initialized first. Open the Start menu and type "partitions" in the search box. Click the "Create and format hard disk partitions" option, and Disk Management will open. It'll prompt you to initialize the drive using either the GPT or MBR partition table.

I'll be using GPT for my SSD, since I have a modern PC with a UEFI firmware. If you have an older PC with a traditional BIOS, you may need to use an MBR partition table. If you aren't sure, look up your specific model of PC or motherboard to see which type of firmware it uses.

If you aren't prompted to initialize the drive, and don't see it in Disk Management, double-check that it's properly connected to your computer, and that the enclosure or dock is powered on (if necessary).

Once the drive has been initialized, you should see the drive show up in the bottom pane of Disk Management as unallocated space. Right-click on it, choose New Simple Volume, and click Next through the wizard to create a new volume taking up the entire drive. It isn't super important what this volume looks like; we just need a volume on the disk for AOMEI to see it. Close Disk Management and continue to the next step.

Clone Your Hard Drive

Open AOMEI Backupper and click the Clone option in the left sidebar. Choose Disk Clone, and select your C: drive as your source disk. Click Next, then click on your SSD to select it as the destination disk—again, be very careful you're selecting the right disk here, since it will be erased and overwritten—and click Next again.

Even if your SSD is smaller than your current hard drive, AOMEI will resize the volume to fit. You shouldn't run into trouble unless your source drive contains more data than can fit on the new SSD.

Finally, you'll be given a summary of the upcoming operation, which you can double-check one last time. Check the SSD Alignment box along the bottom, which ensures you're getting the best performance from your SSD, and click the Start Clone button.

Wait...and Wait, and Wait

This can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on how large the disks are. So go binge-watch some Netflix and come back in a while. When it’s done, click the "Finish" button. You should see your new SSD in File Explorer, complete with all your data.

For Bigger Drives: Extend Your Partition

If your SSD is the same size or smaller than your old hard drive, you should be all done with the cloning process, and you can skip to the next step.

If, however, you upgraded to an SSD with more space than your old drive, you'll need to do one more thing. The Windows volume you copied to your SSD will be the same size as it was on the original hard drive, and you'll need to expand it so it takes up the rest of the disk. The Pro version of Backupper allows you to do this during the clone process, but there's no need to pay—another AOMEI tool called Partition Assistant can do it for free.

Install the free, Standard edition of Partition Assistant and look at the disks along the bottom of the window. You should see that one of your drives—in my case, Disk 2 holding the D: drive—has a bunch of unallocated space at the end. That's our new SSD, and the D: drive (or whatever letter its assigned on your system) is the volume we want to expand. You may see other volumes on the disk—these are boot and recovery partitions, and it's best to leave them intact for now.

Click that volume and select the Merge Partitions button in the sidebar. Check the Unallocated box alongside that D: drive and click OK. You should see the new layout in the AOMEI Partition Assistant window, and you can click the Apply button in the upper-left corner to make the changes.

Install Your SSD

Next, shut down your computer. It's time to install that SSD in your computer permanently. If you have a laptop with only one hard drive slot, you'll need to remove your old hard drive and replace it with your SSD. This is a bit different on every laptop. If you have a desktop PC with more than one hard drive slot, you can leave your old hard drive in as extra storage, and just install your SSD alongside it.

Reboot From Your New Drive

Once you're finished installing the SSD, you'll need to tell your computer to boot from it. (This may not be necessary on laptops with just one drive, but if you experience problems booting, it can help on some PCs.) Turn your computer on and enter its BIOS/UEFI setup—this is a bit different on every PC, but it'll usually say something like "Press DEL to enter setup" on the boot screen, so you'll want to press the corresponding key as it starts up.

From there, look for your BIOS' boot options. These will be in a different spot depending on your computer, but once you find them, you'll want to select the option to change the boot sequence. Choose your SSD from the list as the first boot drive, then head back to the BIOS' main menu to exit, saving your settings.

Your computer will reboot, and if all went well, it should plop you back into Windows faster than ever before. Open File Explorer and check to confirm that your SSD is, in fact, the C: drive. If everything looks good, you're ready to rock, and your computer should feel significantly snappier without having to reinstall a thing.

What are your favourite head/canon things about Alberta

[cracks knuckles] [stretches fingers]

so i’ll just start with a disclaimer - i use sherry’s/iamp/whatever alberta and i realize ive been getting a lot of followers who are part of rp groups and whatever or people who might be interested in adding some depth to their own ocs so feel free to like… think about these things if you want if you’re thinking of doing an alberta oc?? I guess

so since that mysterious slash implies what are my fave canonical things about AB too I’ll say that there isn’t much- I go with what sherry says on canon rather than IAMP and PC because while there are a lot of things I had influence over in both projos there are a lot of things I would have done differently so we’ll start with the bio

Canon Stuff

literally all the things are accurate sooo its hard lol. Obviously the political situation has changed and the economic situation is its usual rollercoaster (WELL… but thats another time). I gotta say that the ‘alberta beef is the best thing that’s ever happened to me’ is really hitting home right now because i didnt realize how SPOILED i was by AAA beef until I got to Ontario ToT (ngl the pork here is super good and saves me money but the BEEF aAAA)

also my edmonton bias shines through at ‘he hates a part of himself called calgary’ thats by far my second fave B)))

Headcanon Stuff

ok where to start I will try to not make this an essay and i can elaborate more if you’re curious

- a lot of people will wonder about whether a province lives in the capital or the biggest city etc. and I have to say in Bertie’s case it is NEITHER. He’d never willingly live in (d)E(a)dmonton (sorry ed ilu) because Ed represents Government which he Hates and while he would spend a fair bit of time in Calgary he gets claustrophobic/exhausted - he still in my mind represents more of the rural bits of the province than the cities. I think he might move around a little, but he probably lives on a ranch between both cities but within sight of the mountains. I’m sure he has a place to stay in each city, but he’s a country boy at heart and appreciates his space, peace and quiet.

- Particularly space because Where else is he going to keep his 3 trucks + 2 ATVs + horses + 100000 cows + boat + canoe + kayak + all his camping junk + motorbikes + dirtbikes + tractor + other junk that people leave at his place

- that said his ‘birthplace’ is the southern ‘half’ of the province so he tends to kind of hover around there more- as i said he owns a ranch rather than a farm because the Quality Ranch Land is in the south and the Good Farm Land is in the north (and being eaten up by ugly houses ugh)

- still I think he spends a fair amount of time working up north in the Fort Mac area because Why Not make All the money. Even if you’re a rancher boy in the middle of nowhere, everyone in this province has ties to the oil industry one way or another. It wouldn’t make sense for him NOT to work in Oil and Gas because it’s literally the only job in the province lmao.

- His driving playlist consists of: Dean Brody, Corb Lund, Keith Urban, Ian Tyson, and the obligatory Nickelback which he listens to Un-ironically but also to piss off/drown out passengers when they’re annoying him

- He’s easily annoyed. By Everything. And Everyone. He’s the current national scapegoat and he takes it Extremely Personally depending on the context but also he has a relatively affectionate relationship with everyone and usually expresses his affection by pointed jabs.

- like he literally gets along with everyone on a personal level and not just because he buys them drinks- his worst relationships are probably with BC and Ontario and that’s just because he lives to irritate them and they respond with an appropriate amount of salt. He still doesnt mind hanging out with them and bc/ab/on/qc is an unstoppable team. He just gets extremely sensitive when anyone asks to borrow money from him and will give you an earful of ‘i work SO HARD for this money to put FOOD on YOUR TaBLe’

- generally really tight fisted with money………. only when other people are looking. he makes a big deal about how little he spends on essential services and you just look at him like ‘so you’re saying you have the money to get all this crap for this rodeo coming up but you dont have the money to take yourself to the hospital after’ and hes like [coughs up blood anime style] ‘im ok i have whiskey and benadryl at home’ [adjusts his diamond studded hat]

- really big on loyalty and straightforward conversations and has NO patience for any hypocrisy or doublespeak no matter how small. The slightest of things can send him reeling with Betrayal. Also this makes him either tight lipped or TMI, there is no in between.

- like literally reeling he’s very top heavy and you could blow him over with a sneeze, he’s all bark and only some bite. When he’s good he’s Real Good but when he’s bad he’s like a foot in the grave bad

- he’s the baby of the prairie bros but also the one with the brains- and i don’t mean in an academic sense i mean in the ‘so crazy it just might work’ sense.

- literally he’s an idiot he doesnt understand how equalization payments work no matter how many times you explain it to him. He doesn’t understand a lot of things re: the economy but he never shuts up about them.

- the easiest way to piss him off is to threaten his autonomy in any way, he will stop whatever he’s doing to put a boot up yer ass if you Dare suggest something like ‘why don’t you let ontario/canada take care of that for you’ even if he knows the way he’s doing something is garbage he will go out of his way to keep doing it because its ‘my way or the highway’.

- ‘why do you have all those guns’ ‘oh you know hunting deer and stuff’ [really its because he’s terrified a rat is going to sneak into his barn or something] [but he does actually hunt] [and he’s the type of guy to have the ‘trespassers will be shot’ signs]

- I haven’t figured out WHAT truck he drives yet but i am PROUD OF HIM for no longer putting truck nuts on it, THANK GOD that went out of fashion. (That said he does not have the stacks- his truck is lifted and Shiny and also has a handful of Alberta Strong decals/stickers.) NL probably gave him a sticker of “The Rock” or a nfld flag and he Loves it. On a scale of most to least obnoxious trucks its Mac - Bert - Cal - Ed. It’s probably a white truck.

- i should think about things he loves more, this headcanon list is mostly things that make him angry oops xDD he loves animals a lot, and not just to eat i swear. The bigger and the more horns the better.

- he really loves driving a lot, it’s like a big part of his independence factor. I think sometimes he will just drive aimlessly late at night/early morning when it’s not busy and just go and find somewhere to look at the sky.

- he looooves digging up fossils in his spare time, or just interesting rocks in general. If you say the words animatronic dinosaur he is ALREADY THERE

- he watches a lot of sci fi and really loves star trek. So Much. he’s totally attempted mowing crop circles in his lawn/fields probably multiple times. he’s still waiting for the ufos to come land. Also has a thing for spooky places and cryptids and those weird inexplicable twilight-zone like events that only happen on road trips. did i mention the Giant Roadside Attractions.

- he has this persona of being a traditional/small-and-big-c conservative but he’s actually really into innovation and trying new things, meeting new people, etc. He interacts with so many different people lately that he’s trying to take the time to really re-evaluate himself and move away from the Klein-era “Severely Normal People” image because it doesn’t reflect him. The issue is he’s more likely to vote on economy rather than social issues so his actual progressiveness gets hidden by lack of political representation (and lets be honest he has Always hated politics). He’s got a lot of crap to sort through but he catches people who underestimate him off guard.

- was probably raised methodist/protestant/whatever but is mostly pretty secular, but he has some definite strong holdovers that make him uncomfortable about certain subjects and his first reaction to being uncomfortable is always anger.

- completely oblivious to being hit on or something or really gay situations around him but is that type of person who is like [cant walk too close to another dude because what if it looks gay bro].

- his fave cow is named buttercup

- he has definitely woken up after a night out with friends naked and alone duct taped to an air mattress and floating in the middle of a lake. true story.

- he will macgyver his way out of any situation. doesn’t mind getting down and dirty in the mud when it’s necessary. exactly the type of person to shove his hands in bitumen and squish it around or to pick up a rock and lick it or to shove a thermometer up a cow. When he gets squeamish he does his best to be bullheaded and pretend like Nothing is Wrong until he faints.

- his french is crap but he Tries- the french he knows is backwater northern AB french which he’s too shy to bring up so he feigns ignorance. His german is good and his ukrainian is passable, his spanish is fine, he’s trying to get the hang of some other languages but doesn’t tell anyone he’s practicing because he hates getting made fun of xD

- the hat and boots are Absolutely to make him look taller than he actually is. He doesn’t wear inserts but he does make sure the sole/heel on any boot he buys is Thick. Smol insecure man with a Big hat. Will spend 300 bucks on shoes, but he actually does ride/work so its an investment for him.

- heads to Arizona/Mexico in the winter when he’s not working, otherwise Banff/Jasper or Vegas are his ‘budget’ vacations lol.

i love this stupid province pls ask if you have any more questions because i love to talk and i feel like i’ve said too much already lol

The Hard drive

The Hard Disk Guide;

From tossing our unneeded files, to defragmenting, from partitions to formats-learn how to keep your hard drive in leading shape

The tough disk is the location where all your programs and information are saved. If the tough disk Stops working you might end up losing all your information.

What is the hard drive?

The hard drive is a magnetic mass storage gadget set up in unique bays within the system unit. The hard drive might do compared to a big cabinet having a number of racks

With various products being nicely organized and saved on each self. The hard drive kept all the information you require to keep on your PC-the running system (for instance, Windows),.

Software application (for instance a workplace match), company or home applications and information, video games, e-mail message, address books and so on.

A hard drive off the assembly line is simply a mass of magnetic media. The magnetic surface area of the hard drive needs to be structured into particular locations where information can be saved effectively, a procedure called format. When you purchase a brand-new computer system, the system includes a formatted hard drive.

A hard drive requires to be divided into partitions prior to it can be utilized. The hard drive on a recently acquired computer system comes set up with a single big partitions, the main partition (C: in My Computer) and a prolonged partition, which might be additional partitioned into rational partitions (D: E: and so on in My Computer) if needed. Partitioning makes the storage of information more effective and minimizes the gain access to time to obtain information.

The storage capability of hard drive has actually increased by leaps and bounds given that IBM XT’s very first 10 MB hard drive. Nowadays, 10GB is the entry level and 17 GB prevails. The hard drive interacts with a PC’s motherboard through a growth card or a disk user interface card.

How does it wok?

The disk is formatted to divide its magnetic surface area into concentric circular courses called tracks (these resemble the grooves on a phonograph record) and wedge-shaped pieces called sectors. Information is saved in the kind of a file or groups of disk sector called clusters. A drive finds information by moving its magnetic read-write head to particular track within a particular sector.

When a brand-new file is developed in a newly formatted tough disk, it is appointed cluster numbers in a consecutive order. Over course of time, when files grow in size to need extra cluster or are erased, the completely bought series of clusters gets disrupted, a procedure understood as fragmentation.

Partitioning the hard drive.

Partitioning divides a big hard drive into smaller sized virtual-not physical-hard disk or partitions, causing an effective usage of area and improving your PC’s efficiency. Partitioning might be really helpful in following situations:.

1-One PC, numerous users-If a number of individuals need to deal with the exact same PC, partitions might be designated for each of them so that everyone has his/her own “working area.” This might be beneficial in house setting too, where you might have different partitions for your partner, kids’s video games, organisation applications and information and so on.

2-Work on numerous operating systems-You might wish to deal with more than one os on your PC, for instance Win98, Linux and Windows95. (Maybe you have applications that work completely in Win95 however all of a sudden crashed in Win98). You can keep these different running systems securely on the very same hard drive by installing them in different partitions.

Partitioning Tools There’re a number of segmenting tools readily available for your hard disk drive. 2 of the most popular ones are:.

1-PartitionMagic Version 4. o for Windows95 and 98-Partition Magic, from Power Quest is a beneficial and effective separating program. It easily produces, moves, transforms and resizes partitions on your hard drive without the need of reformatting the disk of removing important information.

2-FDISK- is an easily readily available partitioning energy that runs in the DOS environment. Its biggest UPS is that it is readily available free of charge. It is troublesome to utilize and likewise needs format of the hard drive (possibly its most significant downside).

Formatting a hard drive.

Similar to many mechanical gadgets, extended usage of the hard drive leads to inescapable wear and tear and malfunction. Repetitive including and erasing of files takes its toll on the hard drive and you might get disk mistake, consisting of the infamous “deadly mistake” of Windows. This is a sign that you might require to re-format your hard drive to have it working correctly once again.

Prior to choosing to re-format the disk it might be beneficial to attempt out other option-.

1-Run Disk Defragmenter.

2-Use a clean-up shareware programs such asregclean.exe, readily available for download.

If after attempting out these options, you continue to get deadly mistake message, then you most likely require to format your tough disk.

The treatment of format is basic enough however needs to be done thoroughly. When you format the hard drive, all the information on the disk is lost-Windows os, software application, service applications information, video games, emails messages. In other words whatever.

How to do the format.

Windows 95.

1- Double-click on My Computer icon. Click the icon for the drive you desire to format. (e. g. C:-RRB-.

2- On the File menu, click Format and follow the guidelines.

Bear in mind that you can not format a disk if there are files open on that disk. If the disk has actually been compressed, utilize Drivespace or other compression to format the disk.

Windows 98.

1- Click Start, click Shutdown, click Restart, and after that click OKAY.

2- Press and hold the CTRL secret up until the Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu appears.

3- Select Command trigger just and push Enter.

4- At the C: \ timely, type format C: and press ENTER.

5- Follow the direction on the screen.

After formatting you’re entrusted a blank hard drive with more area then previously. The next action is to bring back the programs you require on your disk.

1- First reinstall Windows and after that application programs you utilize.

2- Restore your backups into suitable files. If you utilize a Zip drive or a CD-writer, these requirement to be set up.

3- Reinstall all chauffeurs for the printer, modem or other peripherals.

Do the defrag.

A file on your disk might not be kept all in one location or cluster. The more typically you make modifications to a file, the more messy the cluster ends up being, and the disk ends up being fragmented.

The procedure of defragging assists to reorganize the files and unused area on your hard drive so that programs run much faster.

Prior to Defragging, it might be an excellent concept to inspect just how much of your hard disk drive is fragmented. You can do this by running ScanDisk. Empty the temperature folders and Recycle Bin prior to defragging.

Windows 95 and Windows 98-: Open the Start Menu, select Programs, pick Accessories, and pick System Tools and click Disk Defragmenter.

You defragging schedule will depend upon just how much you utilize the PC. A great guideline of the thumb is to defrag every 2 weeks.

Make sure all your files are closed and then you have actually turned of the screensaver.

Spring Cleaning.

No more tough disk area left? It might be time to clean up your difficult disk.

1- Toss out undesirable applications-: have a look at all the software application applications you have actually filled on the PC. Erase the old applications if you have actually set up more recent variations. Go to the Control Panel’s Add/Remove program choice and uninstall those applications you do not require.

2- Run ScanDisk-: the ScanDisk choice in Windows is extremely beneficial application which repairs issue like lost clusters, void directory site entries and physical disk mistakes. Run ScanDisk when a month.

Go to begin, pick Programs, select Accessories, and pick System Tools and click ScanDisk. Click the drive which contains the folders and files you wish to inspect.

3- Defrag typically, as soon as in 2 weeks.

4- Empty Recycle Bin-: Right-click on Recycle Bin icon on the Desktop and pick Empty Recycle Bin from the dropdown menu.

5- Clean out your folders-: do you truly require all those download you had carried out for a previous research study task or those video games you rarely plays? Erase those folders that are not needed.

6- Delete.tmp files and produce more area on hard drive.

Close all programs. Go to Windows Explorer. When.tmp files appear, erase them.

7- Delete momentary Net files to develop more area.

Go to the temperature Internet Files folder in Windows Explorer. Erase all present files.

8- There are a number of Windows parts on your hard drive that you might do without. You might eliminate these private elements from the Add/Remove Windows setup alternative and develop more area on your disk.

Some windows parts that are not essential are devices such as Desktop Wallpapers (a conserving of 700kB) and video games (a conserving of 600kB.

Prior to you format ... 1- Enter the disk drive’s technical requirements (variety of cylinders, tracks, sectors and so on) into the PC’s BIOS setup table so that it is offered for the maker’s Startup program.

2- Backup all your essential information onto another tough disk, recordable CDs, Zip Drive, magnetic tapes or floppies. If you have a sort of backup area or are in rush, copy just crucial folders.

3- Backup any folders that you show others over a network.

4- Keep helpful the setup disks or CDs of the software you utilize, such as Windows or a workplace suite. These will need to be re-installed after formatting.

5- Keep useful the chauffeur disks for your printer, sound card, CD ROM motorist, modem or other gadgets. These will need to be re-installed after formatting.

FAT Facts.

When a difficult disk is formatted, a File Allocation Table (FAT) is produced on the disk. FAT keeps a record of the areas of all the files on the disk FAT 16 is the file allowance system utilized in DOS and Windows 95.

The efficiency of hard drive mainly impacts the total efficiency of a PC. Hard drive efficiency aspects consist of storage capability, information gain access to time (the time it considers the read compose heads to discover a needed position on the magnetic surface area), information transfer time (procedure the number of million bit per second can be moved from disk to RAM) and dependability.

IDEA.

Keep your hard drive in good condition and enhance its efficiency.

1- Create different folders for each organisation application, information or for each member of the family. This will keep your disk tidy and arranged.

2- Avoid the compression.

File compression increases the quantity of storage area, it likewise substantially downturn system efficiency.

3- Keep 10% totally free. Constantly keep at least 10% of your hard drive free-filling it beyond 90% of its capability will result in system downturn and possible loss of info.

4- Run the Maintenance Wizard energy of Windows 95 and 98. This energy make your programs run quicker, checks your hard drive for issues and complimentary hard drive area. You can arrange it to0 operate on a routine basis at a particular time, for instance when a week or other period of your option.

Start upkeep Wizard by clicking Start, select Programs, pick Accessories, select system tools and click Maintenance Wizard.

5- Use software application bundle that assist to enhance your hard drive’s efficiency, e.g. Symantec’s Norton Utilities.

How To Select Components To Build a Powerful Home Entertainment Hub/PC

Finding the Processor:

Browse around the Intel web site to understand what's present. It's always best to check so as to avoid obsolescence in a short time. Regarding every 18 months, Intel introduces a new generation of processor chips. You always get much better performance at about the same price of the last generation of processors. A processor selection tool along with specifications on their processors can be found on the Intel website. You may will not need the top of the line of the current generation with regard to normal household computing. For this application, I'm going for the 2ndGeneration Intel Core i5 2500k. This has built-in Intel HD images, so with the correct motherboard, you will not have to spend extra money to buy a separate graphics card. Intel's Boxed processors usually come having an appropriate heat sink which cools the processor, however always check the specifications to make sure. For cooler and more silent operation, you may want to choose a retail heat sink, but just do this if you are confident about choosing one. The key specs will also be available when you source the component (at Newegg. com, in this case). When choosing a motherboard, you will need to realize and match the processor socket (LGA1155, in this case) and the supported memory type (DDR3-1066/1333, in this case). They are important for fit and function. Choosing a motherboard: I'm a big enthusiast of Intel's products because of the high reliability over the years. Therefore naturally, I'm choosing an Intel manufactured motherboard. Desktop computer board DH67BL Media Series was chosen. Again, take a look at Intel's website for details. It supports the LGA1155 socket, DDR3-1066/1333 memory and has both HDMI and DVI connections. Other important specifications on the motherboard you will need to recognize: Number of memory slots: 4x240 pin. You will need to know this particular, along with the memory standard (DDR3), when selecting memory. Storage space devices supported: 3x SATA 3Gb/s and 2x SATA 6Gb/s. This determines the supported hard drives and BD-ROM. SATA 6Gb/s is the new standard but is in reverse compatible with SATA 3Gb/s. LAN speed: 10/100/1000 Mbps. This particular determines your maximum Ethernet connection speed in a " cable " network. Form Factor: Micro ATX (9. 6" by 9. 6"). This is the physical size of the board and it is important when choosing a case. The smaller Micro ATX boards will certainly fit in most Media Center style cases while the bigger ATX form factor may not. Choosing Memory: As mentioned above, we need DDR3-1066 or DDR3-1333 240 pin memory modules to become compatible with the processor and the motherboard. We choose two times of the Kingston 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9/4G for a great total of 8GB. Memory prices vary a lot, plus they are cheap as of this writing, so take advantage of the price. The panel can accommodate up to 4 modules, but 2x4GB is sufficient for our applications. Choosing the Hard Drive(s): Hard drive prices possess almost tripled during October and November of year 2011 due to component shortage as a result of the weather in Thailand. Costs are expected to remain high for a couple of quarters. Previously, since hard disk drives were really cheap, the system here was built with a pair of hard drives. The first one is a 320GB drive used to load the very operating system and any other programs to be used on the system. The 2nd 2TB drive is dedicated for Recorded TV and may hold about 300 hours of HDTV. In general, the greater Read/Write heads you have, the better the performance. I recently turned to Western digital green or blue hard drives simply because I got one on sale and found it to be vastly quieter than the Seagate I was accustomed to. The key specifications of the turns that affect fit and function are the SATA speed and also the physical size. SATA 6Gb/s describes the data transfer pace and is the new standard for desktop computing. The selected motherboard supports two SATA 6Gb/s, so be sure to link these to the 6Gb connections on the motherboard for greatest performance. The physical size of the drive is recognized as 3. 5" internal drive. This specification is essential when selecting your computer case. The selected case holds a couple 3. 5" internal drives. Selecting an optical generate (Blu-ray/CD/DVD ROM): Today's optical drives are typically SATA 3Gb/s transfer speeds. Physical size for desktop computers is actually described as 5. 25" internal drive, and they fit into an instance which has an external 5. 25" drive bay. The case specifies the main bay as external because it gives you access to open the drive tray. Additional software like Power DVD is needed to play Blu-ray disc. Some drives come bundled with this particular software. I have found that most internet stores are vague regarding whether the software is included or not. The Samsung included in the desk above, came with software. TV Tuner cards: I have not one but two "AVerMedia AVerTVHD Duet - PCTV Tuner (A188 -- White Box) - OEM" in my system. The main thing you should know is the interface type, which is PCI-Express x1 interface. It was described in article 2 . The selected Intel motherboard fits two such expansion slots. This set up gives 4 available tuners for simultaneous recording or watching 1 channel while recording three others. Selecting a computer situation: To have your Afcon 2019 look like another piece of sound equipment, you will need to select a case from the HTPC/Media Center group. To avoid the hassle of having to select a power supply to fit the situation, I chose a case with a built in 500W power supply. "APEVIA Dark SECC Steel / Aluminum X-MASTER-BK/500 ATX Media Center or HTPC Case". It's important to make sure you have an adequate wattage power. Because we are not using any add-in graphics credit cards, 350W to 500W will typically be more than sufficient. Feel free to select a case that's more esthetically pleasing for you. It's also important to make sure that your selected motherboard fits into the case. The actual Micro- ATX motherboard will fit into most cases. We are utilizing two 3. 5" hard drives and a 5. 25" Bluray player, so the case must have at least two 3. 5" drive bays and one 5. 25 external drive bay. Something that bugs me when buying a case is that the fan kind or fan noise is hardly ever specified. You don't understand what you are going to get until you put it together. Fortunately, fans are inexpensive and you can replace them if the noise level is too high for you personally. Fan noise is dependent on the design, rotating speed, in addition to air flow. The lower the stated noise level in dBA, the actual quieter it should be. A variable speed fan will manage the speed base on the temperature inside the case, so it will simply rotate as fast is it needs to, keeping noise down. Wireless keyboard and Wireless remote: I particularly such as the "nMEDIAPC HTPCKB-B Black 2 . 4GHz RF Wireless Efficient Keyboard with Track Ball & Remote Combo Set" because a track ball mouse is built into the PC handheld remote control. This makes for easy operation of the media player. We hardly ever use the keyboard, but when I do, the built in monitor ball mouse also comes in handy. No surface is required to run the mouse. Choosing the operating system: Windows 7 home premium and above includes Windows Media center which manages your tuner cards plus recorded TV. I chose Windows 7 Professional because it enables you to use Remote Desktop to remotely log into the PERSONAL COMPUTER. This way, using my laptop, I log into the press PC to do more demanding tasks. Note that the selected Home windows 7 OS is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) edition. Amongst other things, this means that there is no technical software support provided by Microsoft, but it's a lot cheaper. I never have the necessity to call Microsoft for technical support. If there is a problem, chances are that another person would have already found it so do a Google search. Placing it all together: As mentioned earlier, this article is mainly about choosing components to make your Media PC. Your components guide will guide you through the steps required to assemble the different elements. If you need additional help, you can do a simple Google search on 'how to build my own PC. ' Don't forget to connect the front screen switches and jacks. Once everything is connected you might be now ready to turn on your new PC. If everything will go well, you will see a boot up screen once you turn on the ability. Refer to the motherboard manual to make BIOS settings changes if needed. The default settings should work lacking any changes, but it's always a good idea to read this section of the particular manual to see what's available. The next step would be to insert typically the Windows DVD and follow the installation instructions. Be sure to be connected in to your network and have an internet connection. Windows set up will take about an hour. When prompted, select to download and install home windows updates automatically. Updates will probably take another hour, based on how many they are. Firmware and Driver updates: These up-dates are usually provided to fix bugs and improve device performance. In most cases, the system should work properly without these updates, but if you are experiencing functionality problems, it's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's website and install available updates. For Intel motherboards, Intel device drivers are available on Intel's download website for Network connections (LAN), Graphics, Chipset, and Sound devices.

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, Ryzen 5 2400G, and Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming Wifi Review

New Post has been published on http://secondcovers.com/amd-ryzen-3-2200g-ryzen-5-2400g-and-gigabyte-ab350n-gaming-wifi-review/

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, Ryzen 5 2400G, and Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming Wifi Review

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

It’s been almost exactly one year since AMD launched its Ryzen 7 CPUs, turning the consumer desktop PC market on its head with the first affordable, mainstream octa-core processors. Since then, the company has released more affordable Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 3 models, as well as enthusiast-class Ryzen Threadripper models, the Epyc line for servers, Ryzen Mobile for laptops, corporate-friendly Ryzen Pro variants, and the Vega GPU series. If that wasn’t exhausting enough, there was also the unprecedented deal to supply a semi-custom GPU design to Intel for a series of hybrid Intel 8th Gen Core CPUs.

Despite all that, there’s been one big hole in this top-to-bottom portfolio – processors with integrated graphics capabilities, which AMD calls APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). Without these, AMD couldn’t hope to challenge Intel at the lower end of the PC market. Even the cheapest discrete graphics card pushes the total cost of a PC up by too much, and that just doesn’t work for the huge number of home and office users who need a low-cost PC.

AMD finally has the products it needs to fill that gap – sort of. While Intel ships every one of its mainstream consumer CPUs with integrated graphics capabilities, AMD is segmenting its lineup and launching only two new models that will live alongside the existing Ryzen lineup. These are the Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G. We have both of them in for review today, and we’re going to see how and where they fit into the PC landscape.

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G and Ryzen 5 2400G architecture and specifications

As you’ve probably guessed, the G suffix at the end of those model numbers signifies each part’s graphics capabilities. The Ryzen 5 2400G replaces the Ryzen 5 1400, and the Ryzen 3 2200G replaces the Ryzen 3 1200. It’s worth noting that both new models are positioned at the bottom of their respective family stacks and there are no Ryzen 7 parts with integrated graphics. According to AMD, this makes perfect sense because it’s only entry-level buyers who want integrated graphics, but we’ll circle back to this point in a bit.

The new model numbers start with 2xxx rather than 1xxx. These two new processors, codenamed “Raven Ridge”, are being branded under AMD’s second-wave Ryzen lineup even though they aren’t very different compared to previous products. Within a few months, AMD will flesh out the 2xxx series with products codenamed “Pinnacle Ridge” which are rumoured to be based on the Zen+ architecture and manufactured at 12nm.

For now, AMD tells us that Raven Ridge models use a refined version of the same 14nm manufacturing process as first-gen Ryzens which allows for higher clock speeds within the same thermal and power constraints. There isn’t any change the underlying CPU architecture, but there are some tweaks to the cache and RAM subsystems. Additionally, AMD’s Precision Boost scheme has been updated to Precision Boost 2, which can now opportunistically keep more of the CPU’s cores running at higher speeds than before, depending on the temperature, voltage and workload conditions at any given fraction of a second.

When we first encountered the Ryzen architecture, we were introduced to AMD’s concept of the Core Complex (CCX); a self-contained building block of four CPU cores with per-core L2 caches and a common L3 cache. Every first-gen Ryzen processor had two CCXs – the four-core Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 5 1400 had half of each disabled for a total of four functioning cores but they still had access to both CCXs’ L3 caches for a total of 8MB.

With Raven Ridge, AMD has had to dispense with the second CCX in order to make room for the Vega GPU, and so quad-core means there’s only one CCX with all four of its cores active, and in this case, only 4MB of L3 cache. AMD says its speed and the elimination of latency between two halves results in there being no practical difference to consumer workloads. This also means that the company cannot currently fit more than four CPU cores into a Ryzen APU, so market segmentation isn’t the only reason that there are no Ryzen 7 models.

The Ryzen 3 2200G has four cores but no multi-threading. Its base clock speed is 3.5GHz and it can boost up to 3.7GHz. The Ryzen 5 is also a quad-core part but each core can run two threads. The base and boost speeds are 3.6GHz and 3.9GHz respectively. These numbers are slightly higher than those of the outgoing Ryzen 3 1200 and Ryzen 5 1400 respectively. Both CPUs have 65W TDP ratings which means that the integrated GPUs fit within the same thermal envelopes as ordinary Ryzen processors.

The products are marketed as “AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega 8 graphics” and “AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics”, indicating the number of Vega compute units (CUs) that each chip has been given. The GPU clock speeds are also different – 1100MHz and 1250MHz respectively. H.265 and H.264 encoding are fully supported at up to 240fps for 1080p and up to 60fps for 4K video. AMD’s assorted Radeon features are also fully supported, including FreeSync variable refresh rates for smoother gaming if you have a compatible monitor, ranging from 20-240Hz at full-HD or 20-60Hz at 4K with HDR.

Video memory is carved out of system RAM, just like with any other integrated GPU. You should be able to set how much is allocated in the BIOS, up to a limit of 2GB, with the default being 1GB. Because users aren’t likely to pair these APUs with high-end graphics cards, AMD took the opportunity to reduce PCIe bandwidth from x16 to x8, which it says allowed it to reduce the cost and complexity of manufacturing these APUs. This isn’t a significant loss for the intended target audience, but it’s worth noting.

There’s good news on the motherboard compatibility front – not only will Raven Ridge APUs work on exactly the same 300-series motherboards as all Ryzen 1xxx CPUs, but future 400-series models launching with Pinnacle Ridge will be backwards compatible with today’s CPUs as well. Motherboards purchased more than a few months ago will need a BIOS update, but AMD says that all units currently in the market should be compatible out of the box. If you’re buying right now, look out for a sticker or label specifying 2000-series Ryzen compatibility or there’s a tiny chance of your brand new build being unable to boot up until you pop in an older CPU and update the BIOS.

Both new APUs are sold in the same orange-grey packages as their non-graphics-capable counterparts, with the exception of a silver panel running across the front of each box, and the Radeon Vega logo. This seems a bit like AMD is downplaying the significance of the integrated GPU, so buyers should be very sure of what they’re getting. Speaking of boxes, both CPUs come with AMD’s Wraith Stealth cooler, which we found to be perfectly adequate for non-overclocked processors when we reviewed the Ryzen 3 1200 and 1300X.

Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi specifications and features

AMD sent us a new motherboard to test these CPUs with, and it’s interesting that the company chose a mini-ITX model. These tiny boards are generally used when you want a PC that’s easy to hide away or place in a cramped space. The mini-ITX form factor is ideal for living-room PCs that can be placed next to your TV just like any home theatre component or game console, or as a middle ground between full-sized desktop towers and sleek but non-upgradeable all-in-ones.

The DIY mini-ITX ecosystem has never really taken off in India and it’s extremely difficult to find matching cases and power supplies for these motherboards. Mini-ITX motherboards also tend to be more expensive, and you don’t get all the fancy features and design flourishes that larger ones have room for. AMD chose mini-ITX because it wants to emphasise how much power you can now stuff into a tiny package – if you’re trying to be small and unobtrusive, the graphics card usually has to go, so the integrated GPU is the star of the show.

Our Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi model has a bunch of interesting features. The B350 controller is AMD’s mainstream offering; perfect for PCs that won’t be overclocked. As you can see, the layout is tight but everything is standard and you don’t lose much. There’s plenty of room around the CPU socket for a standard cooler or a waterblock (for obvious reasons, liquid coolers are often put to good use on mini-ITX boards).

There are only two RAM slots but they’re full-sized and you can still have up to 32GB of DDR4-3200 RAM in total. There’s one PCIe x16 slot, but a double-width graphics card will hang over the edge of this board. There’s one upright M.2 socket near the rear port cluster which is pre-occupied with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card which you can remove or replace if you like. For SSDs, there is also another M.2 slot but it’s on the underside of the board. This is unusual for mainstream PCs and could be one of the most difficult parts of this motherboard to work with – depending on your chassis, you might have to unscrew the entire motherboard every time you need to access the SSD. It’s only really workable for builds that you don’t intend to modify.

The rear port cluster is packed with two USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type-A ports, four USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, six analog audio outputs, and two terminals for the incuded Wi-Fi antenna. There are also internal USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 Gen 1 headers. The big loss is that there’s no USB Type-C, and we would also have liked S/PDIF audio output considering the media playback potential here.

There’s always room for fancy lighting, so we have a row of six RGB LEDs across the front of the board, and two headers for external LED strips. You can synchronise them all using Gigabyte’s software or even through the BIOS.

You also get four internal SATA ports, integrated Realtec ALC1220 audio with a headphone amplifier, and two fan headers that can be used for CPU or system fans. Gigabyte also promotes its server-grade power conditioning components and high-end capacitors for the audio subsystem, plus a metal-reinforced PCIe slot. That’s practically everything that any home or office PC user could require. The only little convenience that we really missed was onboard power and reset buttons, which make building so much easier.

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, Ryzen 5 2400G, and Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi performance

Building the mini-ITX test rig for our Ryzen APUs on an open bench didn’t present much of a challenge. Everything is in close quarters but there was enough room to work with. We were up and running in no time using the motherboard and RAM that AMD supplied specifically for this review. The components we tested with are listed below, and we used the latest release of Windows 10 and flashed the motherboard BIOS as per AMD’s recommendations. AMD listed version 17.7 of its driver suite as the most recent at the time of shipping out its review units, and it worked flawlessly. However, after beginning, we were offered an automatic update to version 18 which broke compatibility with the Ryzen APUs completely, and we had to roll back before we began testing.

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Intel Core i5-8400 AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Motherboard Gigabyte AB350N-Gaming WiFi Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium RAM 2x8GB G.skill FlareX DDR4-3200 2×8 GB Kingston HyperX DDR4-2666 2×8 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 Graphics AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 Intel UHD Graphics 630 XFX Radeon R9 380X DD BLK OC 4GB SSD 1TB Samsung SSD 860 Evo 400GB Corsair Neutron NX500 250GB WD Blue SSD CPU cooler AMD Wraith Stealth Cooler Master Hyper 212X AMD Wraith Stealth PSU AntecHigh Current Gamer 850M Corsair RM650 Monitor Asus PB287Q OS Windows 10

Starting with CPU-focused tests, we see that the Ryzen 5 2400G maintains a slight lead over its sibling, the Ryzen 3 2200G, in most tests, and both show improvements over their predecessors, the Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 3 1200 respectively. In comparison, the six-core Intel Core i5-8400 costs only about Rs. 1,000 more but shows major performance gains in many areas including the Cinebench R15 3D rendering test and the POV-Ray ray tracing test. File compression is a lot faster and video encoding also favours the Core i5 compared to the Ryzen 5. If we were looking for a number-crunching machine, or were going to buy a discrete graphics card, we’d choose the Core i5-8400.

However, all that gets flipped on its head once we start looking at the graphics benchmarks and games. We have a few standard tests that we run on CPUs with integrated graphics, and these usually show the limits of the hardware quite quickly. For example, Unigine Valley ran at 18.6fps, and Rise of the Tomb Raider at its Low preset gave us 11.63fps on the Core i5’s integrated GPU. The new Ryzen APUs blew those scores out of the water, with the Ryzen 5 2400G achieving 33.4fps and 28.57fps respectively. The Ryzen 3 2200G wasn’t too far behind.

Emboldened, we started experimenting with games that we’d never dream of being able to enjoy without a GPU. Doom, which is relatively forgiving of weak hardware, gave us 35-40fps on both APUs, running at 1920×1080 at the Low quality setting, and we ran through some massive battles with no problems at all. Stepping up to Medium quality, the Ryzen 5 2400G still managed to stay above 30fps but the Ryzen 3 2200G dipped below 25fps in the thick of the action. Far Cry 4, at 1920×1080 and Low quality, averaged 31fps and 37fps on the Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 APUs respectively, which is way more than we expected. Even Civilization 5 managed to run smoothly, staying well above 30fps, at 1920×1080 with most graphics settings at Medium or High.

GTA V presented an interesting scenario. Because this game suggests quality settings automatically, it decided that the lack of a discrete GPU and only 1GB of shared video memory just wouldn’t work. The default resolution was a laughable 800×600, and every single quality option and slider was set to its minimum. The game’s built-in benchmark ran perfectly well, but visual quality was awful. We set about bumping these settings up manually, starting at 1280×720 with medium settings and antialiasing enabled, but anisotropic filtering off, and were pleasantly surprised to see the benchmark’s average frame rate hit 59.92fps. Intrigued, we then pushed the resolution up to 1920×1080, turned the AF up to 4x, and set everything to Normal or High, including soft shadows and ambient occlusion.

The game actually refused to accept these settings because of the video memory limit, but that can be overridden. Soon the benchmark was running admirably, averaging 38.56fps. This just goes to show that a lot of games will need to be updated to correct for assumptions about the quality of integrated GPUs that have now been shattered. As far as the system RAM allocation is concerned, you could raise the default manually through the BIOS. We’d love to see a dynamic system that could let games temporarily increase how much is blocked off from the rest of the system based on their requirements, and then release it back to the general pool when done.

Verdict AMD has hit the market with two extremely interesting products at incredible prices. In terms of integrated graphics performance for desktop processors, there’s simply no comparison with what Intel has to offer. The fact that someone can now skip buying a graphics card altogether and still be able to play modern games at full-HD at decent quality settings changes everything. The low-cost home PC can now be a decent enough gaming PC without expensive upgrades. Also, given the insane prices of graphics cards over the past few years, these two APUs are now the most viable options for many gamers on a budget. In fact, the cost of building an entry-level full-HD gaming PC just fell drastically.

The mini-ITX motherboard we used for testing also presents some interesting options. The ecosystem might not exist in India yet, but it is now fully possible to build a competent entry-level gaming PC roughly the size of a current-day gaming console, which can even be upgraded down the line.

If you’ve been putting off building a new gaming PC because of the prices of graphics cards, you can now choose the Ryzen 5 2400G and just use that for a little while – you won’t get anywhere near the same level of quality as, say, a GeForce GTX 1060, but it could be good enough to tide you over until either prices return to normal or you save up a bit more. Compared to an entry-level GeForce GT 1030, you wind up saving at least Rs. 6,000. You also save money by choosing AMD at present because of the continued lack of affordable motherboards for Intel’s 8th Gen CPUs, which we’re amazed to see is still the case.

High-end gamers who are buying a discrete graphics card anyway will want a processor with a bit more grunt, such as Intel’s Core i7-8700K or Core i5-8400, or even AMD’s own 6- and 8-core Ryzen models. The Ryzen 5 2400G and the Ryzen 3 2200G are more relevant to budget-minded buyers, and offer an extremely tempting balance of CPU and GPU capabilities.

RX 570 8gb Hashrate: Mining 2021| Review| Testing | Specs | Profit

Sapphire RX 570 8gb Hashrate - Mining | Profitability |Payback Period| Review | Best Testing (Benchmarck) Radeon RX570 Nitro 8 GB video cards are very popular among miners, so they don’t stay long on the shelves. Accordingly, it can be concluded that this type of map can be used for profitable mining. Thanks to its powerful specifications and performance it helps to quickly recoup costs. However, before making the final choice, it is recommended to pay attention to a number of nuances. Features Radeon RX570 Nitro 8 GB Model RX570 has several similar characteristics with the RX580 card, given the presence of factory boost and improved vendors. It also affects the cost. Despite the similarity, it is important to note that experienced users still stop their attention on 570 models from the manufacturer AMD. Regardless of the type of 570 cards, they have 1200 MHz core frequency. A number of vendors total more - 1300 MHz. Power is estimated at 150W. Today on the market you can see cards with memory sizes of 4 and 8GB. Their difference between them consists only in spaciousness. As for the frequency parameters, in this case they are the same. Equally important for miners is the overclocking indicator. Experts agreed that the card from the manufacturer Samsung. They are put on the most productive versions: Nitro or Sapphire. Regarding manufacturers such as Hynix or Micron. On average, the difference is 1-2Mh / s. Please note: Please note: In spite of the bad review by a few customers, we experience no such issues (not saying you won't) but We would comfortably recommend this product for mining cryptocurrency based on our testing that will be continue below. People also ask: Common Questions RX 570 8gb What’s up techies, let’s dive right into this. I can’t say enough about the AMD/Radeon/Sapphire… let’s just go with “The non-Nvidia GPU”. You might want to keep up with your friends and be a part of the FPS and triple monitor setup talk, all while getting; the best performance for your buck, the most quiet graphics card (considering it’s in a case your keyboard strokes are probably louder all said and done) and something that looks like your rig is an aggressive graphics producer. What I find as far as looks go is that most GTX graphics card’s aesthetics are pretty much the same in color scheme. With the Radeon graphics cards you can get a red, blue silver, black and a mixed black, silver and light blue scheme. Some even have RGB lights! Not to mention the price for a mid grade Radeon is like 200$ less than that awesome GTX 1080i or what have you. Instead of 650$ you walk away around 300-350$. (Mind you this is just off the top of my head to get the idea across). With that said, this card specifically has a very nice color scheme, a protective/stylish backplate which is preferred by most when the installation of your card happens to show off the underside of it, you’ll be pleased to not see the unattractive green circuit board and instead a painted backplate. This is important now a days where there are multiple ways of mounting your GPU. Some mount them vertically, horizontally, upside down both ways or even outside of the computer case itself! Okay it looks good you got that? Now I’m gonna talk about the AMD Radeon graphics software. One key benefit I want to bring to light is the fact that when you enter the update menu you have a choice between, the latest update or the best reccomended update all while showing you the current version you have installed. With this feature you might find you’re using the latest update and your pc is being weird having random monitor black outs or maybe even pc restarts! So you’re able to switch to the recommended version which is known to work with your setup and should a revision of the latest update arrive you can give that try all on the fly. Jeesh get to the performance already! So I’ll name a couple games and my performance in relation to each game. World of Warcraft, I’ve played for the last 14 years is it now? Obviously their graphics only get so good because Blizzard refuses to update the visuals but if you’ve played as long as I have you’ll see that you can set all the settings on ultra and turn up your viewing distance, shadow detail or spell detail to get the most of what Blizzard offers. While having everything set to ultra etc.. I’m getting 80 FPS and if I just go in a room with my character I can hit 100 which is what my FPS in capped at in wow. I’ve never been over 30 due to always playing on a “beefed up” laptop lmao Also I play overwatch and it is flawless with all graphics levels turnt up I forget the exact FPS. I went ahead and bought the HTC vive and this thing handles VR without breaking a sweat! Considering I will have the in game display on the tv at all times and obviously the display in the HTC. Another noteworthy feature is that the fans shut off when it’s not in demand so add power saving to the list of why you should buy this graphics card! I honestly can’t see getting much more from a 700$ graphics card unless you’re a high end game developer? Well that’s all folks feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer! Top 7 Questions Asked on Amazon Before Buying - RX 570 8gb ASRock Phantom Gaming D Radeon RX 570 DirectX 12 RX570 4G 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Video Card Question 1: Will this work for a ryzen 3200G ? Answer: Yes, you may want to drop into the bios and make sure it is defaulted to your PCIe slot and not integrated. Question 2: How many pins does Radeon RX 570 have? Answer: The RX 570 Have 6 Pins. Question 3: Does The Radeon RX 570 works with a pci express x16 gen 2 interface? Answer: We suggest you contact your computer manufacturer to get their list of compatible graphics cards. Many old computers require a Bios update from manufacturer. For old computers the best compatibility results is to pair with old graphics cards. Question 4: Will The RX 570 works with a Ryzen 5 3600? Answer: Absolutely! Be sure that it can fit your case though :) Question 5: Is the Radeon RX 570 compatible with intel?

Best Reviews Posed on on Amazon From customers - RX 570 Best Reviews Posed on on Amazon From customers - RX 570 Good Amazon Review By Customer For The RX 570: First off, I'm not a high-end gamer. I don't overclock or anything like that. My only real goal was playing Elder Scrolls Online with 30fps or better in world zones. This card can handle that just fine using the "High" but not "Ultra High" preset. And results may vary depending on what else is in my build (AMD A8 9600 APU / this GPU / 12GB slower RAM / Installed on a 7200RPM WD HDD). After tweaking settings, my build maintains 20-30fps in environment zones and 50-60fps in dungeon zones. But that's after changing a few settings to higher than "High". Anyway. For what it is, this GPU works just fine. My only complaint is that, of the two fans, one of them runs virtually silently, while the other fan has a constant low-grade bearing whistle. Ordinarily, I suppose a person would send it back for a replacement, but the low noise level is within my tolerance level, and I bought this card with the intention of getting into the game as cheap as possible, then upgrading in the near future, so I didn't want to deal with the hassle of a return. When it comes to fans on any PC component these days, one's entering into a bit of a lottery, so I expected the fans to be rather loud. Even with this bearing whine, it's still quieter than many other GPU fans I've run across over the years that oftentimes sounded like jets taking off. So, again, I'm satisfied. Remarks of the Best Review on Amazon2: WORKS REALLY GOOD I WOULD BUY FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN 😁👍🏽 GET 144+ on every game Review 3: A little pricey but during this pandemic its to be expected. Cards arrived new and in a timely fashion. Very happy with the seller and the product. Good Review 4: Using it on my 3rd gen i5 and holding up well. Just good enough to play beat sabre. Good solution for tight budget. Worst Review Posed on on Amazon From customers - RX 570 Worst Reviews Posed on on Amazon From customers - RX 570 Bad Review of the Radeon RX 570: This is a good GPU but I would not recommend buying it at this price. Spend your money on a better graphics card if you are going to spend an extra $100. It's worth $200 right now. Please note: In spite of the bad review by a few customers, we experience no such issues (not saying you won't) but We would comfortably recommend this product for mining cryptocurrency based on our testing that we will be continuing below. Poorest Remarked on the Radeon Nitro+ 570 8GB TLDR The card is defective, the seller Platinum Micro Inc Wont take back (as a return was submitted 31 days after arrival of product), Amazon can't help with a return, RMA shipping per the requested method was almost $40. I'd recommend avoiding the card. I purchased a Nitro+ RX 570 8GB from Platinum Micro Inc on 8/29/18 and received the card 9/6/18. My wife and i were about to move so i didn't test the card until 10/4/18 when i found that there was an issue with the card. I tried to trouble shoot the problem myself through the 10/6/18 when i found some postings (see toms hardware, amd support, ect...) , that this was a known issue with the Sapphire cards and likely a bios problem. 17 and 18 series drivers i tried gave me an error reading "No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware" on BIOS 1 and i get frames about the same as my 5 year old 7870 on bios 2. Newer drivers read bios 2 as an RX 580 in GPU-Z and same issue with frame rates. The only way that BIOS 2 functions is with drivers that are almost a year old (17 series drivers) and makes me doubt support for current gen titles coming out this year. I filed for a return on 10/7/18 and was denied as i filed 1 day outside of the window. I first called amazon and asked about their 90 day A-Z guarantee and was told that because the seller was a 3rd party seller the 90 day guarantee didn't apply. I ran through Sapphire support for a few days before they recommended an RMA with their 3rd part RMA company, Althon Micro. Althon Micro has given me an rma number and on their email requested the use of bubble wrap and packing peanuts which with shipping ran about $40. I'm worried though that their fix for the problem is a bios re-flash which would void any factory warranty i have on this card. After this fiasco I'm avoiding sapphire cards. For the $320 that this card has cost me i should have just bought a better card and that's my recommendation to you. Our Comment After Testing The RX 570 8GM We Try to be as honest as possible with our products of recommendation and based on this cards Testing and very performance that we have seen, we would gladly recommend anyone to buy. Purchase on Amazon Now - Sapphire 11266-09-20G Radeon Nitro+ Rx 570 8GB GDDR5 Dual HDMI/ DVI-D/ Dual DP with Backplate (UEFI) PCI-E Graphics Card Calculating the average result (excluding firmware), you can count on the following indicators: - Pascal 0.72Gh / s - DaggerHashimoto 23.7 Mh / s - Equihash 311 Sol - Decred 1.24 Gh / s. Speaking about the prospects of mining and which currency is most profitable to extract the most, it is worth noting ETH. The card is able to reveal its technical characteristics and show the maximum possibilities. - 1 x CPU - 4 x DIMM 240-pin - 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x8 mode; single card: x16 mode) - 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode) - 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 - 1 x PCI - If we compare the characteristics of the 500 model and 570, it is worth noting that the second option has lower power consumption characteristics, which has a positive effect on the size of the final profit. This indicator makes the card as popular as possible among the entire range from leading manufacturers. Increasing the hash rate of Radeon RX570 Nitro 8 GB No modern video card can not be called a perfect option. For example, Nvidia manufacturers did not take care of the firmware, so after purchasing it, many users begin to solve this kind of puzzle. Firmware is needed in order to increase the hashrate. As a rule, after it the result is increased by 40-50%. The average hashrate in the factory state varies 18-21 Mh / s, which is a relatively low figure. Taking into account the cost of the card, this is a rather low indicator, and therefore it will pay off for a long time. When using the Afterburner program, it is possible to increase the rate on average to 23-25 Mh / s. Unfortunately, even this indicator will not save the miner from a long payback period (about 29 months). In this case, it is worth noting that AMD seriously loses the card from Nvidia. But the firmware can fix the situation. After the BIOS is reflashed, the card can be sharpened for mining and organize optimal overclocking. Do not forget to set the optimum timing, and the most appropriate frequencies. However, this is a process that requires certain knowledge, so miners rarely can perform it on the first attempt. For some users, it is possible to achieve optimal results only from the 10th attempt, which also does not always add optimism. But after the work is finished, After the firmware is implemented, the user can expect to receive the following indicators: - When using the Nitro, Asrock, Expedition model with Samsung's memory, the hashrate index will be around 31.7MH / s - Gigabyte Aorus / Gaming using Samsung memory figures up to 30.5Mh / s - Asus loses a bit - 29.9Mh / s. It is important to take into account that the above indicators are maximum as a result of the check, therefore, they should be guided during the selection process. As a rule, similar results are given to be achieved only on maps from the manufacturer Samsung. Regarding Hynix, this effect applies only to Nitro. Another option that can play hashrate is the choice of the operating system. Regarding Hive, it can provide stable performance, through additional functions: you can organize work with a flash drive without the need to connect the HDD, WatchDog firmware, as well as the convenience of monitoring workflow compared to Windows. Accordingly, the first version of the operating system is best suited for mining. How long can the Radeon RX570 Nitro 8 GB pay off? Over time, the concept of payback begins to be used as a relative concept. This is due to the fact that the rate of extracted cryptocurrency also changes. As a rule, miners who are engaged in such activities constantly, try to control the situation and make appropriate adjustments. When they talk about 570 models, you can directly associate it with mining ETH. In addition, an equally important factor is the purchase price of the video card. Depending on the course of the coins, it also tends to change. The higher the rate, the higher the purchase price becomes. Power is another important factor that the miner takes into account when choosing a video card model. Even if you spend the worst version of the system BIOS firmware, you can get an indicator of at least 28 Mh / s. If the card will differ in stable operation, it is possible to expect a stable indicator of 2 Mh / s 7 days a week. Given the average cost of the card, you can safely expect an annual rate of 70-80%. If you keep the value of the currency at the peak of its course, then you can count on the fastest 100% payback during the year. However, it is also worth considering the complexity of the farm, the higher it is, the slower it will pay off. Card selection First of all, it should be noted that in 2021 it will no longer be possible to mine the ETH with a 570 memory card of 4 GB. This is due to the ever-increasing size of the DAG file. Therefore, for users who are accustomed to forecasting ahead, it is important to take this moment into account. Regarding the same model, but with 8 GB, there will be no restrictions. Speaking about the total result of the 570 model, it is important to note that this is an economical option that is best suited for novice miners. This is due to the fact that energy consumption is relatively low, which means you can save a lot of money on paying bills. As a rule, vendors have an efficient cooling system. According to the testing, it is unlikely that the temperature index will go beyond 60 degrees. Due to the minimum payback period, this model is recognized as one of the best deals on the market. However, do not forget about the prerequisite - the presence of firmware. Otherwise, an indicator of more than 26 MH / s cannot be obtained at the factory settings.

The Radeon RX 570 is not that much different from the Radeon RX 580 in terms of GPU configuration, and choosing between versions with 4 GB and 8 GB of RAM will allow additional savings on memory. Will all of this make the RX 570 a better buy than the 3GB RAM version of the GeForce GTX 1060? The SAPPHIRE Pulse Mini-ITX video card will help us to answer this question.⇣ Contents We recently tested AMD's top-end second-generation Polaris silicon-based graphics card, the Radeon RX 580 . As tests have shown, a deep revision of the circuitry of the chips and the matured 14 nm FinFET process technology justified the hopes placed on them, significantly increasing the "quality" of the crystals. AMD thus acquired a reserve entirely invested in GPU clock speeds, which, even within the framework of the reference specifications, increased so much as to provide conditional parity in performance between the Radeon RX 580 and the GeForce GTX 1060 . Compared to its main competitor, the Radeon RX 580 can offer the buyer such advantages as a larger amount of RAM (8 versus 6 GB) and the ability to work in multiprocessor configurations, which NVIDIA in the current generation has deprived of video cards with a lower rank than the GeForce GTX 1070.
