TiTAN Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I had an itx z97 machine. It's now my work pc complete with its 780 ti that spends all its time clocked up and pumping out heat as its an nvidia bug when driving 4 screens that they can't go down to idle, the home machine to replace it was an matx z170 machine and a 1070 as the other one gave me the shits with random bios resets when you turned it on, totally worth the $2500 it cost to buy the new one.

Birds Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Weird. Computers and components are so cheap these days. Everything seemed so much more expensive when I was a teenager saving for a build. My shoebox is a tight fit but small desk footprint and about as small a case as you can get with full sized components / decent power supply. Very portable for LANs not that people really do those anymore. Surprisingly doesn't get that hot, except in summer, where the side of the case will burn your hand...and I run a USB fan pointed into the vent nearest the CPU.

Leroy Peterson Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I think optimisation is getting better, because you can really tell an early access games that melt PCs and has prehistoric ragdoll physics. Also I think graphics manufacturers are focusing on crypto mining hardware rather than backing developers to.

Birds Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I can't keep up with GPU releases these days Maybe my time awareness isn't on track, but in the teenage years it was a big deal when Nvidia released any new model like the GeForce 2 GTS. Now the number on the end just seems to go up every other month.

It's still a big deal, hell since you got your card 5 years ago there's only been 2 releases (Your 770 > 9xx series > 10xx series) yes they missed the 800 series. I only just went from old trusty 780ti > 1070GTX last year & still run a 5 year old intel cpu, the only reason to get a newer card these days is if you're running a 4k or 1440p monitor, if you're running a 1080p a potato will suffice. /nerdlinesaustralia Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/458531-vic-wasteland-thread-150/page/789/#findComment-7849700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
