@stuff238: Well EA doesn't really care about fans, or consumers. And as I said I don't have much hope as this was tried with EA UFC 2, and they refused to port it, even though they had 12000 people sign it, and even people like myself who weren't PC gamers at the time, and didm't now about the petition, but are huge MMA fans, and would have bought it upon switching over.
lol they care about consumers, of course they do. There is no demand of UFC on PC and hence why they don't port it. Simple business.
The developer said that their tests give the same amount of usage as TeamSpeak and I don't see a noticeable slowdown on my machine which is now 3 years old (and none of my many friends who use Discord don't do either), but I guess it's a lie.
Not everyone can see the diff between 60hz and 144.......so, yea. Cool.
I'm just saying it might be noticeable for you where you probably have a visual list of numbers going and can see a few percentages of differences but gaming wise I don't see a slowdown and that's what matters. If it was as bad as you make it out to be then Discord wouldn't have millions of users using it.
That same line of thinking can be applied to fast food as well.
Yea not many people require 240+ fps ........but I love running my benchmark programs on that, must be why i need it.

The amount of CPU it uses is extremely significant.
According to that link, uses the same amount as TeamSpeak for audio chat.
I've been using Discord for a year now (at least) and I can't see any slowdowns anywhere (and I'm on a 3rd Gen CPU)
Thats a blatant lie cause I have used both for years now. The difference is noticeable in running for max frames in games , leaving gpu/cpu at ~100%
10% off the cpu makes a considerable difference in framerate. Like I said, its not the best, but it does a lot of things "ok".
Mumble has better voice quality, IRC is still the best text chat, etc.
Cool.

It put together a blend of text chat / voice / vid chat, etc. And while its not awesome at any of them (especially considering its bloatware level use if system resources) , its the easiest option currently.
No more than 3.5GB of your ram will be used under a 32bits system, so 7/64bits is the way to go. W10 is bloated and needs lot of trimming' to reach W7 level performance.
Not true. Windows 7 and 10 take up the same amount of resources.
The problem with Windows 10 are the 200 background processes that run on startup and the mandatory updates.
Most startup processes you can disable. Win10 has a startup utility that's easy to use.
So most games have some kind of in game voice option. I got Pubg after 1.0 release, and lots of people say they are grouping on discord.
I'm just curious as I haven't really used an app like this (I have it downloaded and linked to steam/blizzard/etc/etc) and am just curious for those in the know how and why to use this program?
It's the best voice chat for gaming currently out there. Let's you instantly join other chat servers (rooms) and have friends across the whole platform.
My friends and I use it for every game we need to communicate in.
As for PUBG, if it's randoms I'm playing with I just use the in-built voip.
