Who else here is still with a several years old GPU and playing new games with it?

Who else here is still with a several years old GPU and playing new games with it?

I'm sorry.

You bet I do. I also have only 4 GB of RAM. Gaming is suffering for the likes of us truly.

I only play indie games now so my 760 still werks

How come you're all so poor? Underage or third worlders? Or just NEETs?

NEET with no future

Hello

I have job but prefer to såend money one booze and hos

I don't care about graphics and there is no modern AAA game I want to play so my 760 works fine
The last game I had trouble running was Nier Automata but then that fag fixed it
I wanted to try VR but then I am too poor for that

>4GB of vRAM

How do Nvidia get away with it?

Rent is $800 and I only bring home $1200 a month. I have a roommate but subtract utilities and car insurance and gas etc.


Barely making it.

It's a Speccy problem.

I got a GTX 780 , prolly gonna buy a new card when they release them next year

There is little initiative to upgrade honestly. Old shit like my r390x runs most game i'm interested in just fine in 1080p@60fps.

>$800 rent
for what purpose?

>graphics card hotter than your CPU

wut

Rent for what? And where? Is it really this bad in Ameriland?
I pay ~370€ for a tiny studio apartment and make about 1000€ after tax. And I'd say that is insanely expensive.
That's in Central Europe.

390x isn't a poorfag tier card though, that's last gen performance segment. Nobody is saying you have to upgrade every gen.

A shoebox tier two bedroom here in Ontario is like $1300 a month

That's awful man.
How much is the median wage?

I have a 560 ti from 2011 but I don't really play new games. I did try the Resident Evil VII demo and it ran but I had to lower the settings.

Ah that makes sense

770 Here
Ran the destiny 2 beta on High at smooth 60.
Pleasantly surprised

Google says $22 an hour, plus our minimum wage is going up to $15 an hour for some fucked up reason. We'll see how that goes.

HD 7950 here. This things a beast, especially since most games these days don't need framerate (the ones that really do need it have a team that cares for it and actually optimize it to work buttery-smooth).

3rd world neet here gathering the courage to kms

gpu is a HD 7770

Considering that a lot of people complains that they can't run PUBattleGrounds flawlessly even with hardware better than my 2GB 760, I'd say I got more than most people

>This things a beast
It's a 1050Ti tier, hardly a beast
>especially since most games these days don't need framerate
This is a blatant rationalization
>the ones that really do need it have a team that cares for it and actually optimize it to work buttery-smooth
And this is too

It's a three bedroom, two bathroom home. Me, my brother, and my mom was living here. She moved out to move back in with her ex husband and me and my brother decided to just stay here. His girlfriend was our third room mate but she and him had an argument so now its just me and him for now until we get another roommate or they patch things up.

As for looking for my own apartment since we are splitting rent $400 each there's no reason to look for another place to stay. I'd be paying the same or more in rent for a studio/1br.

She still owes me for august so this is what everyone would be paying if she was still here.

GTX660 here.
I'm gonna buy Witcher 3 even though I know I won't be able to run it.
send help

>poorfag
>buying games

>Have a 750Ti
>try destiny 2 beta
>expect 5 fps
>get 60 fps at medium 1080p

what the fuck

I played through Witcher 3 on a GT 730, 1280x1024 resolution, 15-20 frames per second.

You can do it.

I had an Athlon XP 2400+ until 2008 when I was a kid, then a super awful AMD laptop in Uni.
760 was my GPU when I switched back to desktop in 2013, a year later I've replaced it with a 970 and last year with 1080.
Nowadays it's no big deal to afford good hardware, but I can appreciate even low power machines.

thats usually normal, you are the one roasting cpu at fucking 80C

Meh, that's not so bad for a NEET.

With that said, here's the machine I'm using now.

shoulda bought an uprated 650. Mine is going strong.

(Can run Deus Ex M/D on low settings. Too bad the game didn't grab me like the previous one)

Buying games are a lot cheaper than buying a new GPU m8.

Oh dear.

i5-2500k 8GB HD7870 PC from 2012 that hasn't been upgraded at all.
Still running everything well enough at low to medium settings 1080p. I have a lot of money to spare, but as long as it keeps working, I don't see a need to upgrade.

Is this now a guts thread?

jesus man, really no other options other than renting?

drops to 30 when in action, not smooth

750 ti still miles better than consoles

True. But still there are no big and very tech demanding games right now, at least for me. I blame weak console generation and boring AAA industry. For example, games I'm looking for in 2017: New Divinity, No Truce with the Furies, Pathologic remake. Right now playing Darkwood and Gigantic. All this stuff is very forgiving it terms of PC power, so why should I upgrade?

My 680 has plays games like Titanfall, Doom & Quake Champions just fine. I might upgrade if I get a higher hz monitor, but it's not urgent. 680 is probably the best long term value I've gotten out of a GPU.

Darkwood worth grabbing? On the fence, it looks great but I'm not sure how it'd be after a few hours for $15.

wait this is canadian rupees right not dollars. then this makes sense

No I'm American.

Trying to buy a home with my sub 600 credit score isn't happening.

Short of a completely new build, what do I do with this? I'm thinking of just sticking a 1050TI in it and seeing how that goes, because just running off of the APU is disgusting. Random BSODs because AMD don't give a shit about drivers is the best.

I also intend on getting a monitor that isn't an 8 year old TV at some point too.

I had a 7950 in 2016. It ran pretty good to be honest. I got 30 fps on siege on high settings. I could run squad @ 25fps total war games were tough though. But mine died. I think dust+ total war Warhammer killed. The 980 I replaced it with is much better obviously.

I was JUST about to upgrade this summer, and then suddenly all cards were gone and prices skyrocketed after due to mining craze.

why did you feel the need to make that post?
are you an insecure faggot that you have to show how good you have it in life to some third worlders and poor fags?
must be pretty pathetic being you.

I used my 560 Ti till this year. End of the year before last during Christmas Holiday, I bought a GTX 970 from MSI on Newegg but it was complete dogshit and had to RMA it and several replacement copies before I gave up on MSI.

Never buying a video card or a motherboard from those chinks again.

destiny 2 is smooth as fuck on my i3 / 960

Right. Most people don't realize that the Jaguar/GCN consoles, even the upcoming XboneX, all use integrated second gen GCN graphics hardware that is pretty low end by current GPU standards. They don't even have dedicated memory.

Just about any recent dedicated GPU will be better than what the older PS4 and Xbone have. XboneX and PS4 Pro up the power a bit, but upcoming PC hardware including the Ryzen+Vega SOC chips will outperform them.

>960
960 still does high setting on games just released, I think i'll just skip vega all together

It's great, maybe a bit slow in the beginning. Such surreal and bleak atmosphere.

Also, check out last dev post. They basically uploaded game to Piratebay for people, who can't afford game right now. It's clever marketing of course, but still.

USE A FUCKING THERMAL PASTE

You could try installing Linux on it, AMD's official drivers are an absolute joke but you don't have to use them. The unofficial (unfortunately Linux-only) Mesa drivers are both way more stable and faster.

Its why AMD's prices are shot to hell right now, the mining performance of their stuff on Linux is way better than the gaming performance on Windows so the cards wind up priced against stuff that's a few tiers higher because that's how they're performing.

80 C what is going on here

>msi 390 8gb
Still good for 1080p@60fps even on stock clocks I guess
I don't play that much, most demanding game is arma3 I guess

I'm basically stuck with Windows for C#
and Visual studio stuff for my uni stuff
I mean I could try dual-booting maybe?

I'm not wrong in being able to use solely the 1050 for my graphics, right? I don't want to drop 140 on one to find I still have the same issues with it.

I send my shitty 770 to Florida last month and since I make good money at the moment I went straight to the top

>1080
>4gb

needs more meme fans

Poorcuck mad af

I recently bought an cheap used 4gb oc 960 and was surprised how decently it still runs

There's great C# stuff available on Linux, arguably the better stack to learn because its cross-platform with versions available for mobile.
There's a version of Visual Studio for Linux as well, but you'd be better odd learning to use a variety of editors.
If your school has you just learning Windows stuff you're not going to be very employable in the current market.

You should be able to get a 1050, or a 560, or an older used GPU and use it just for graphics, but if you're using a prebuilt you'll want to make sure your PSU can handle it and that the slot isn't obstructed.

get a new cpu pls

core2duo
e6870
4 gigs of ddr2

I just prefer to waste my money on beer and music equipment isntead of video games that I far more enjoy to shitpost about than to play.

The 980 is what, 3 years old now? And is still maxes pretty much everything at 1080p.
I have an old gtx580 on my 2nd PC with an i52500k and it's playing everything maxed at 1050p.

I still need to crack it open and check all that out, yeah. Joys of being bought a computer for school rather than just being given the money to build.

No need to upgrade

I would still use my 750ti if game games wouldn't have 4gb requirements. I don't give a shit about graphics, but I still have to pay money for a new card every 4 years, it sucks. Devs should give us the option to play the game on potato graphics.

Just set 50$ aside every year.

I'm pretty happy with my r9 280x. It runs most new games at 60fps on medium-high.

>using Visual Studio when Rider exists

4 years is a perfectly fine timeframe for upgrading though.
I always buy the -80 card from nvidia every 3 years because I want to run everything maxed and it hasn't failed me yet.
In fact, my old 580 went for almost 5 years before it became semi-obsolette, and only because it was the 1,5gb model.

I'm using a R9 280X Dual-X and I'm ok with.

BUT

I'm trying the Destiny 2 BETA, and no matter what setting I choose, at 1080p, I can't keep a stable 60fps.

R9 280X is an amazing card btw.

Still going "strong"

Having opened my case up admittedly for the first time in a year, no wonder it's been running slow.

The damn thing is nearly empty. It's ridiculous why this tower is as big as it is.

I'm just doing what my school suggests man, I've been looking at other editors, etc but hey. Things might be different when I start second year anyways.

not him but are you the guy who made the post or someone else defending him

Should last fine for another year or two

>this many fans

I want to make a PC that isn't a factory spec piece like this potato I have now (Old af, so can't upgrade need a whole new rig) I am grabbing a new case as well. Any tips on how to save a few dollaridoos would be appreciated.

You don't really need the 7700 for gaming.
Go for a cheaper CPU and get a better GPU instead. 1060 at minimum.

HD7950. Even recent games I want to play run 1080p console settings 50-60 fps. I expected to already upgrade by now, but there's still very little reason to.

>i7 7700
>GTX 1050
hmmmm

If it's for gaming, sacrifice the i7 7700 for a GTX 1080.

I just changed my computer but i had a 9 year old computer that played modern games fine. I mostly switched because i got tired of loading times and having to lower graphics. Of course turns out it didnt really reduce gameplay loading times at all.

Honestly if you aren't aiming for 144fps there's no reason not to pick ryzen

>No trigger discipline
>Waiving your gun in the air

Ty.

Your i7 may be an overkill but please don't got for an i3 if you're gonna get 1080.
Two of my dumbass friends took an i3 with their 1080.

SSD is pretty much the only thing that helps with loading times

GTX770.

Zero problems playing games.
I haven't bought a new game since Doom 4

Is it fairly legit, I don't know anything about none intel cpus.

>tfw I used a GTX295 til it burned out
>still using a 670
I guess I'll upgrade next year to whenever the next series comes out. Only game that is frustrating with shit fps is pubg which fluctuates from 30-70fps depending on where on the map I'm at.

I''ve been using a 7900GTO from EVGA on Win 10. Had to look for drivers that actually work on it. Games run like shit.

It's just a backup card. Waiting on my Vega to arrive, so I can finish my AMD build.

>paying $1650 rent
Jesus, wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a house to pay off and commute to work for 30min?

>520€ for a 3-bedroom-flat in good neighborhood , split rent with gf
>I bring home a bit over 2500€ after taxes

I was still up until last week.
Went from my 2011 GTX 560ti 1GB, to a GTX 1060 6GB.

While the improvement was significant, it still felt a bit underwhelming in the end. The good ol' 560ti still did just fine at 1080p & 60fps in a huge majority of all games.

Not him, but I'm an Europoor too, and 800€ rents with no water or electricity included, are not uncommon even for small three-room apartments. I'm living in a 69 square meter 3-room, and I pay 680€ a month, but that at least includes a heated car parking slot and weekly access to a sauna. And that's considered CHEAP in many cities.
