Even Alan Wake 2 runs at 68 average fps with 720p render res and high preset (excluding the forest scene ofc, i had drops below 40 there). This is good enough for someone whose best gpu was a 750 ti before :D

It was a blower card. The setup was in a fractal design silent pc type tower. I also used the stock cpu cooler. Ran warm as hell. CPU ran in the 80s under load, and the gpu got close to 90 too. I replaced this pc late last year. But I kept this setup for a backup pc. I replaced the tower with a phanteks airflow case (maybe the 300a?). I also replaced the cpu cooler with a cooler master 212. I was really surprised by the change in temperatures! The cpu stays in the 60s, under load. The gpu, though, gets into the 70s but that's better than almost 90! If some of you have similar hardware, I recommend doing something similar if you have the spare dough.

Everytime you move one of the monitors they stop working for a bit untill you move them the right way. Now all the same cables are hooked up into the 1070 and i can move the monitor around however which way and im not getting the problem anymore. So far its still playing all the games i play at great fps with hardly any noticible difference from the 5700xt. The 1070 is really a great card to this day.

Developers seem to be using super-resolution tech _liberally_ just to make their games playable these days, and if modern hardware can barely hold 1080p in some of those titles, this older hardware has no chance.

I´ve recently upgraded to a 5600X on a B550 Gaming Plus and was lucky to also get a black twin tower cooler by DeepCool with aRGB (set to red to colour match my RX 480 Red Devil) for under 63€ while the CL16 3600MHz Fury Renegade fits the cooler by design, the Fury writing looks very close to the Deepcool logo. So overall my pc is black with silver and red acents. Decided on the 5600X instead of the 12400f as originally planed for a simple reason: the 5600X is way better at decompression and most don´t realize how much decompression they´re using. It´s not just drivers (especially GPU drivers are heavily compressed), games also use compressed archives to save space on the servers and have users finish the download quicker: guess why you´re downloading e.g. 105GB but the installed game takes almost 160GB or more? Who has 4TB NVMEs? De- and reinstall is very cummon therefor people should concider decompression performance, the only professional performance I as a gamer actually care about, because it´s needed not just professionally.

Got my 1070 with a Skylake 6400, a H110M (I believe) and 16GB DDR4-2100 which I built specifically to play in VR back in 2017 when Oculus still came with XBOX Controllers and I was lucky the Vive came as is. Sure these machines won't cut it in upcoming titles anymore but I have a hard time believing that is all that important since it depends on what games one personally plays.

Fortnite requires more memory and a faster processor since Unreal 5. Also it needs a heftier GPU. 2GB per thread and add the amount of VRAm the card has to bring up those lows. This machine would work well with 24-32GB of RAM. You'll see the lows pull up a bit. If you put an i7 8700k into it, the hyperthreading will help balance the load and bring you even better frames and if you delid and overclock it you'll see most of it smooth right out. How do I know? I did it already. I am typing this on an i7 8700k @5Ghz with 32GB DDR4 3200 CL16. I play Fortnite in 4K 120Hz on an OLED. Since my upgrade from a 6700K I have not had the same stutters I did prior. UE5 can use up to 6 cores. Now I got an i5 12400 that raises the .1% and 1% lows even higher and after seeing you with an i9 14900k it has occured to me that I need one. I also need a 5800X3D for my AMD rig which is still in pieces.

I was able to 3 weeks ago snag an msi trident 3 with an i5 8400 and gtx 1660, i upgraded to 4060 because of the low power, getting pretty good performance. think its worth it for me to upgarde to an 8700/9700? This video makes me feel a lot better about my i5

I also don't like that more and more games have SSD required in the minimum specs. And the minimum specs are far to high even when the game doesn't look that good, games like rdr2 look amazing and I was able to play it at decent settings 1080p on an i5 4590 and rx 470 4gb. Just goes to show games are being rushed out by devs and get a $70 price tag ughhh

@@Dictatortot-n3d Games have been getting bigger for a while now(large worlds, lots of textures) and load times have gotten longer as a result. Some older games like GTAV can take a few minutes to load up on a HDD, but take considerably less time on even a SATA SSD(let alone an NVMe drive). With an SSD, load times can be reduced to anywhere from say 30 seconds on down to less than 10 seconds(even less if the game uses Direct Storage). And Decent capacity SSDs(1-2TB) are relatively cheap these days. You might not fit your entire game library on one, but at least the most prolific game launcher(Steam) lets you have multiple library folders on different drives. Have your entire library on a decent size HDD, then move the relatively few games you're currently playing to your SSD. When done with those, move them back to make room to player different games.

I'm using i5 10400f paired with RX 6600 XT and I just saw today that my 2020. i5 10400f cpu is only 1% faster than the 2017. i5 8400, damn intel.I have a question if You have time to answer ! I ussualy buy prebuild PC, so here are 2 of them, only 50 Euros price difference so wich one should I buy : i5 14600K with RX 6700 XT , 16 gb ram DDR5 or i5 13400f with RX 7700 XT 16 gb ram DDR4 !!!!! First one is more expensive. Thanks in advance.

I'd get the PC with 13th gen i5 and 7700 XT. The CPUs are ram will be pretty much functionally equivalent, while the 7700 XT is faster(with more vram) than the 6700 XT and cheaper. Edit: Actually, if that 14600K is similar to a 13600K, it has 6 P cores(12 threads) and 8 E cores(so 20 threads total). The 13400f has 6 P cores(also 12 threads) but only 4 E cores(so 16 threads total). For gaming purposes only, you likely won't notice much of a difference. However, if you plan to do work on the CPU that is heavily multi threaded, the 14600K should be faster.

I picked up a similarly-specced unit (i5 9400 / GTX1660) just this year for £185 on the CEX online store, to serve as my main machine for gamedev. It was graded B but it's in near-perfect condition to my eyes. I've not installed many games on it yet, but it's nice to see what similar specs can get you. Thanks for the video :)

Great video. I upgraded from an i5 8400 to a Ryzen 5600 (love it and the gains) but I will always have a soft spot for the 8400. It's fast, very easy to cool and the low power consumption is a nice bonus. It is 100% hindered by the lack of hyper-threading these days but depending on your needs it could still be viable.
