And for older games/ esports it does amazingly well

2020-12-17 06:49:50 UTC  

The biggest one I can think of that I may end up wanting is Halo 5.. How does it handle there?

2020-12-17 06:50:19 UTC  

Is Halo 5 Forge the same thing?

2020-12-17 06:51:22 UTC  

Seems like its some kind of gamemode for it

2020-12-17 06:51:54 UTC  

I think they did add its own component on PC at some point

2020-12-17 06:52:10 UTC  

starts at 3:10

2020-12-17 06:52:15 UTC  

But I'm just referring to everything in the base game on its own

2020-12-17 06:52:18 UTC  

seems pretty decent at 1080 low

2020-12-17 06:53:17 UTC  

if it can run forge i would assume it works good in other modes too

2020-12-17 06:55:02 UTC  

One can hope. I'll confirm what cpu I have later, and go from there

2020-12-17 06:55:26 UTC  

If its a 7020 its a extremely high chances its an i5/i7 either is fine

2020-12-17 06:55:40 UTC  

you can do Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open task manager and check

2020-12-17 06:55:54 UTC  

go to performance tab and it should say what cpu

2020-12-17 06:58:05 UTC  

i7

2020-12-17 06:58:08 UTC  

Yusssssssss

2020-12-17 06:58:27 UTC  

Thats very good!

2020-12-17 06:58:37 UTC  

and you probably got plenty of ram as well

2020-12-17 06:59:15 UTC  

I think it's 8 rn. I wanted to upgrade to at least 16 if/when I made it a gaming PC

2020-12-17 06:59:36 UTC  

8 works, but 16 should help reduce stutters, especialy if you multitask at all

2020-12-17 07:00:03 UTC  

Exactly why I planned on 16

2020-12-17 07:01:04 UTC  

So 16 gb RAM, I guess GT 1030 for graphics, and I'll have to find a hard drive with decent storage

2020-12-17 07:01:50 UTC  

Or I may go further and take the RAM to 32 gb

2020-12-17 07:02:35 UTC  

32gb is way overkill except for a few specific things

2020-12-17 07:03:00 UTC  

1. cities skylines 2. minecraft with tons and tons of mods 3. video editing or other workstation tasks

2020-12-17 07:03:21 UTC  

But if you can get it cheap it will make your system more responsive, and you never need to close applications XD

2020-12-17 07:03:39 UTC  

I mean I do enjoy modding Minecraft

2020-12-17 07:03:53 UTC  

But it takes so many to make 32 gb useful

2020-12-17 07:04:17 UTC  

i can barely use 32 with running a 5-10 player server, 1,12,2 with over 300 mods while playing at the same time

2020-12-17 07:04:28 UTC  

+ internet tabs etc

2020-12-17 07:04:46 UTC  

Only gets to around 28GB but thats an insane case, if you don;t host servers 16gb works great

2020-12-17 07:06:04 UTC  

if you dont use it all, it just caches programs and makes them open faster, not bad but thats up to you if its worth it

2020-12-17 07:06:16 UTC  

I'll think about it. I want performance above all else.. No hiccups, crashes, etc.

2020-12-17 07:07:07 UTC  

fair enough, but i would upgrade to the gt 1030 first, before any ram or anything like that

2020-12-17 07:07:20 UTC  

since then you would acually be able to start playing the games 😄

2020-12-17 07:08:51 UTC  

O boi is this revelation exciting.

2020-12-17 07:09:46 UTC  

At the same time though, I'm not sure how often I'll play them. The vast majority of my game library is SNES and earlier

2020-12-17 07:11:09 UTC  

That includes a 4-switch Atari 2600 I personally fixed up to play

2020-12-17 07:11:30 UTC  

You can probably emulate the snes and earlier just on the pc without even a graphics card at all

2020-12-17 07:11:40 UTC  

even upscaled and stuff

2020-12-17 07:18:30 UTC  

I'm talking about physical copies; I own the actual systems. I got rid of the Xbox to focus on expanding my collection to that end
