One of the best things about getting your first gaymin PC is the feeling of no longer needing to ask yourself "Will this game run?", instead it'll be "How many frames can I get on this game at max settings?"

No.
stop being poor and buy a real pc and instead it'll be "How many games can I run at the same time?"
>spend $3000 on PC
>realize how boring new games are
>go back to playing STALKER and CSS
atleast my PC doesn't take 5 minutes to boot now
Ah, did you take the NVMe pill as well?
>new games are boring
>I play STALKER, a walking simulator
>Walking simulator
Get out of here, gachagay
Whatever that is!
That was me. Bought a 2080ti. Only games I've played in months are XCOM 2, CK3, openRCT, and Morrowind.
>spend $3000 on PC
That's where you fricked up. If it were $1000-1200 or so you'd have spent less than half the money and still been disappointed but at least you'd have half more money
>but at least you'd have half more money
To do what
I have no idea what else to do with my income thst majes me happy.
Oh well in that case you'll be ok. Why are you posting about it like you regret spending the money then
I spent 3K on a PC and I don't regret it. Used my shitbox for 9 years before being unable to bear it any longer, I wasn't able to play the latest vidya with friends for the past 4 years because my PC was too shit and I didn't want to spend the money to upgrade. Now everything loads very quickly and I don't have to worry about not being able to open up too many programs at once or do too many things at the same time. All I do is shitpost and play pre-2015 games on it now, but at least I no longer have to live with the thought that I won't be able to play whatever fotm that comes out. Not upgrading for another 6 years most likely, unless tech takes a huge jump which it probably won't.
You're aware so there's that. At least you're not in denial
>unless tech takes a huge jump which it probably won't.
Unreal engine 5
>Shader complication stutter engine 5
who cares
Me
Most of the industry will be using UE5 unfortunately
Lots of games use UE4 too. I just don't play them.
>buy a 3080 in preparation of Cyberpunk and BF2042
>both are complete dogshit
back to playing Morrowind and EU4... cant wait for the 4080
I could at least understand cyberpunk but why were you hyped up for BF2042 anon?
>max settings
I can't even tell the difference between high and ultra other than that the latter eats frames for breakfast. Heck often times I don't even see a big difference when I take a high preset and customize some of the options lower. Take the performance pill, reject graphics return to frames
Agreed. The difference between high settings and max/ultra are so fricking miniscule and not worth the frame drops.
>first gaymen pc
Be gone, underage. Back to plebbit
>"Will It run?"
>Implying I ask this on My console
>he knows it won't run smoothly from the get go
why are consoles so cucked?
Every game I put in and play on My console runs perfectly. This is how It's always been...
>bloodborne
>blighttown
>killzone
haha good one anon
lol, lmao even
Indeed. Considering that ran like shit on everything.
How well does Red Alert 2 run?
>crispy buttery smooth 19 fps
Yeah, I don't need to ask if Starfield would run on my PS5, the answer is obvious.
Yes
>all that desk space
>only having one tiny monitor
cringe
don't forget the gay RGB and stupid plant
the Disc/VHS player is pretty nice though
Not op but parts come with shitty RGB garbage whether you want it or not these days. I'm glad my case is opaque 'cause there's a fricking 24/7 pride parade going on in there.
splurge on hardware, pirate software
simple as
One of the best things about buying a gaming PC is you spend all your freetime shitposting on the internet while alt tabbed out of a videogame.
Best thing about PC is realising video games are shit and a waste of time. It's literally the platform of adults because you finally grow up out of children's toys.
>ThinkPad Meme
>Lenovo and not IBM
How did we end up with people thinking like this ?
In the early 2000s consoles were for chads with friends and PC gamers could be recognize from far away because they always looked and smelled like shit
rofl
This lmao... Games are like a chore now I'd rather watch stuff or listen to music
so that's where my filius will spend the next 20 years jerking off huh
True.
True.
>using a wired mouse with those stupid little cable hangers
>One of the best things about getting your first gaymin PC is the feeling of no longer needing to ask yourself "Will this game run?
That's exclusive to pc anon.
lmao
the only real issue with this setup is single monitor
seethe
What do you need more than 1 monitor for?
monitorgays are so annoying
Leave them to it. They only cripple their own experience with multiple.
Only the plant is the problem moron
what's wrong with plants? everyone is putting plants in their desks now
>plants
>desk
uhhh
worst of all he put his radiator the wrong way which will lead worse cpu temps and gonna eventually rape his pump
the mouse cable thing is worth having, personally I hate cable drag
I didnt buy one I just made my own
>max settings
LMFAO.
>One of the best things about getting your first gaymin PC is the feeling of no longer needing to ask yourself "Will this game run?", instead it'll be "How many frames can I get on this game at max settings?"
ok 3rd worlder
>showing them online
Indeed, good gentlesir. May our framerates be high and our temperatures low!
The next evolution is asking "how many frames can I get on the lowest settings"
>t. has a 3080 Ti and does this
this, who cares about graphics when you can have more fps instead
whats the thing he has for the mouse wire?
mouse bungee
As someone who is saving up for a pc now, is 120 fps really more noticeable than 60? I have never saw a game at 120 fps and I’m prepared to be blown away
You'll definitely notice the difference between 60 and 100. If you pay very close attention, 100 to 120 is noticeable too, but I'll be honest and say I can't tell the difference between 120 and 144.
High refresh rate is somewhat noticeable when scrolling text, but only in you autistically pay attention to it which you get tired of after 15 seconds and stop caring. In video games it's absolutely irrelevant.
Get your eyes and your brain checked. 60 FPS+hz vs 120/144 FPS+hz is literally night and day. If you have ever experienced 120/144, it's extremely jarring to go back to 60.
I don't think you will be blown away but after you get used to playing games at high framerate you won't be able to go back. After a while 60 FPS will feel like 30 FPS does now. i've had a 120hz monitor for 4 years and I now consider 100 FPS to be a minimum playable framerate.
it's a nice difference, may not blow you away, but it's certainly a good upgrade.
It's a whole new world.
You mean upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 7?
me since 2011 when I got an i7 2600k + GTX 580
haven't looks at system requirements since mid 2000s
in first person shooters yes. 60fps is unplayable for me in anything first person even games like cyberpunk or dying light 2. if you use a controller with slow linear movements the different is not that apparent and 60fps is fine.
The only thing noticeable about spending thousands on a gaming pc is you will only play the games you used to play because you like them or browsing Ganker and youtube
And then realise you were better of keeping the money and using it to add to buying a nice car or something useful
>One of the best things about getting your first gaymin PC is the feeling of no longer needing to ask yourself "Will this game run?",
That's why you grow a brain and don't buy a gaymen PC.
This, but upgrading from windows 7 to 10
Honestly it's been great having a gaming PC after so many years and getting to play all the games I've wanted to play but not been able to for the past decade and a half.
Right now I'm sinking my teeth into Kenshi, Receiver 2, Derail Valley, Highfleet, and Dragon's Dogma (I could play that on my PS4 but 60FPS).
>Receiver 2
How's Receiver 2? I played the first one and loved the concept.
If you liked Receiver 1 then Receiver 2 is basically that but moreso. Very good, I'm liking it a lot.
>top of the line rig
>doesnt mean shit cause 99% of games today are early access unoptimized shit
>runs like garbage
many such cases
>getting a $1k midrange rig and giving it $200 worth of upgrades once a year
>getting a $2k top of the line rig and not upgrading it at all
which option makes more sense?
get a 1.5k high end system and replace it every 5 years or so
$200 will get you nothing, unless you count selling old part into the equation. upgrading mid-range every now and then is a good idea, you avoid missing on new technologies (imagine scenario where you're going gtx1070 > 2070 > 3070 instead of 1080 > 3080, you'd get rtx much earlier), but new technologies rarely come with significant changes, we're no longer upgrading directx and pixel shaders, significant core tech upgrades stagnated long time ago, so who cares
both options are good
wasn't the 1080 the same as the 2070? so going 1080 > 3080 would've been the better choice.
rtx was pretty shit on the 2000 series too, got like 2 games only useable on 2080ti.
The next big core change is mesh shaders streamlining the render pipeline, but its only available on the newest gpus. It would make dlss and fsr irelevant features since even a 3060 can render 4k at ~200 fps with them.
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/introduction-turing-mesh-shaders/#toc2
This?
Yes. Basically the current render pipeline is slowed down a bunch because the gpu has to draw every 3d model that might possibly be on screen before it goes back and figures out which ones are blocking the view to others and need to be culled. A lot of work is done that has to be thrown out. Mesh shaders makes it so the gpu can figure out what it needs to draw for the final image first so it doesn't waste as much work drawing and throwing out pixels you won't see.
That's pretty cool. Have any notable games implemented this technology yet?
Nope. Main problem is only 16, 20, 30 series nvidia and AMD 6000 rdna2 gpus can use it. There's 1 China only mmo Justice that turned it on.
The first is more price-efficient and the 2nd is more effort-efficient
I currently have the 2nd one
Buy a top of the line gaming laptop and replace it every 2 - 3 years
>dont be poor
> spends thousands on the PC
> still using a cheap ass, tiny as frick, TN panel monitor
Consider kys.
Are there any cases that will completely filter out dust getting inside?
I remember seeing something like that but it's been many years ago. Case had like small containers for dust so you could just pull it out and clean up quick.
Most modern PC cases have dust filters on vents, and some even have aftermarket magnetic dust filters to cover any vents/holes without filters. I use a Define 7 and it doesn't really get dusty at all.
I have a case with filters you talk about in it but it's still dusty inside after month or two. I'm looking for something that will let me forget about cleaning for longer because it's pain in the ass.
Just make sure your fans keep positive pressure inside the case, and you shouldn't accumulate dust.
I wonder how cheap high vram GPU's will get as the crypto bear market continues and the market keeps getting flooded. I want a 4090 for less than 1K
for me its "now i wonder what pre-2010 game it runs".
One of the best things about getting your First gaming PC is piracy
Playing games on PC feels like doing office work
I didn't even bring over my PC from Ukraine post war.
There's nothing interesting on it except old games I have already completed. Working from macbooks is better and a bunch of raspberris pi's for fiddling with embedded stuff is more than fine. Cloud suits my needs in *nix servers alongside my work.
I just don't get what is the use for mid/fulltower pcs.
4k Space TES game with mods keeping this shit on life support? Next shovelware RTX ON (TM) shit?
Currentgen consoles have nothing YET but PC have been in decline for decade already.
>I didn't even bring over my PC from Ukraine post war.
Where did you end up? Also are you holding up okay now?
I am in Portugal now. Got long term rent, my dogs and all of my stuff back. It is nice country so I'd probably stay semi-permanently.
Still working as a contractor with my USA employee so nothing has changed except I've lost my friends.
Thanks for asking
>friends stayed behind
kek
Not all of them though and even before this war half of them moved abroad (Uk and Netherlands mostly). My work colleagues still in Ukraine would be leaving too soon. There are legal options.
We always knew deep down being neighbour with Russia could end up bad.
>Portugal
Seems like a hot spot for ukranians, I know a couple people that also moved there after the onset of the war and they say they love it over there, some of the younger ones even more so than ukraine.
>"How many frames can I get on this game at max settings?"
For me it's
>"How many frames can I get"
I'll play on medium or low settings if it will improve the framerate. I hate visual clutter and post-processing effects like lens flare anyways.
Is there any good reason to update to Windows 11?
it's still shitties os on the market so why not give more telemetric data to ms?
Some games run a little bit better in 11 and some of the searching/indexing is a little better, but that's about it. There is literally nothing else that's an upside, just tons of downsides.
it can open pictures at a decent speed. the native photo app in 10 cannot say the same.
Every windows built in app has a free replacement that woukd work better
>people still keep PCs on the desk like it's 1995
Any reason why you would put it on the floor?
I do it to passively vaccume up dust
>"How many frames can I get on this game at max settings?"
a dead tell that you haven't owned a good gaming pc for very long, this is a feel that fades quickly and once gone it never comes back
>one monitor
homie what are you doing?
I used to be a one monitor cuck for the longest time but after getting a second one, i can literally never go back
I'm nothing without my second monitor
I don't think so... A console will set you ready for the entire generation. Meanwhile the PC will need to be continuously upgraded to get to play new games.
