Licensed Computer Games Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II - Q3/Q4 2024

Some of the implementations introduced on the hardest difficulty feel a little bit questionable right now, will probably get tweaked. Mainly thinking of the lose the ability to regenerate armor if outside of squad cohesion. A bit too punishing, especially for some classes. Seems like a better bet would have been, lose access to teammates team perks and such, not make it so its nearly impossible to survive.

 

I don't hate the concept of stray too far get punished, but no armor regen is more or less certain death, especially considering this effect is exclusive to the new difficulty. It also triggers if you're the last man standing, even if you ARE close to your fallen teammates.

This also means playing with strangers becomes impossible at that difficulty level as most of them do their thing. Countless times I had to clear the generators at Inferno either on my own or with the help of just one member while the third decided to stomp bugs somewhere else at the Abandoned Base.

Looking at upgrading some pc components to play games better atm, rig atm is getting old, 

 

Was wondering if anyone had suggestions, like can you plug an amd ryzen into a motherboard that had an intel cpu

 

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-7600K (3.8GHz) 6MB Cache

Motherboard
ASUS® PRIME Z270-P: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs

Memory (RAM)
16GB HyperX PREDATOR DDR4 3200MHz X.M.P (2 x 8GB)

Graphics Card
6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060

 

Not even sure its even worth it, even spending £500 could be just put towards a new rig

You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT plug an AMD CPU into Intel chipset motherboard; those are NOT CROSS-COMPATIBLE.

 

In terms of suggestions for parts, a lot of that has to do with your budget, how much you're willing (and able) to spend, as well as how much time and effort you'd like to put into optimizing and tweaking.

 

My quick and dirty suggestion is to use something like PC Part Picker and start playing around with stuff. You can use some of the build guides as starting points. I strongly recommend paying attention to the Compatibility Checker if you're unfamiliar with motherboard/CPU chipset compatibility.

 

 

Frankly, your system is pretty old, especially the CPU and GPU. If you're looking to upgrade, those would be the first things. At that point you're also looking at a new motherboard. If you're looking to get a new NVIDIA graphics card (one of the RTX 30XX or 40XX series), be aware that there's a very good chance you're going to need to upgrade your power supply unit. I'm passingly aware that there are issues with the latest generation Intel chips, so AMD Ryzens have been the go-to recommendation for CPU upgrades. I think the X670/B650 motherboard chipsets are the most recent ones for the latest generations of AMD processors.

 

Also, if your rig is as old as some of the parts seem to indicate, I'm willing to bet you're using SATA rotary hard drives. Don't underestimate the underlying performing boost in load times and data writing (and noise) that upgrading to SSDs will get you.

 

 

All that is to say, if you're seriously looking to upgrade, you're pretty much looking at building a new system.

Yikes

 

I use ssd, its not the medieval ages

 

Well plan A, is to put new card, cpu and ram and hope it just works

 

I thought asus motherboards would just be compatible with either

No, ASUS is a third-party manufacturer.

 

Motherboard architecture and processor architecture go hand-in-hand. At the top level, the first-party designers and manufacturers (Intel and AMD) require motherboard chipset controllers specific to their product lines.

 

Then once you funnel down the manufacturer-specific categories, each CPU family has its own motherboard category compatibility requirements. Too large a generational difference between board and processor also is a no-go. 

 

 

As a third-party manufacturer, ASUS builds motherboards for both AMD and Intel CPUs. You still need to get the specific motherboard type for the specific CPU type.

 

If you try to put one manufacturer's CPU into the other's motherboard slot, best case scenario is that they physically don't fit - the pins and dimensions do not align and you can't install it.
