I’ve been waiting to update my SLI 1080s 32gb i7 from 2018 but with the new chip slots and DDR5 it only really makes sense to wholesale and build new. Now im down to a single 1080 I split the SLI off to build my wife a modest computer and because games dont really support SLI any more. Maybe i cant play new super heavy AAA games but have any of them not been shite lately?
I still play Helldivers 2 on this long-toothed beast, but I do have to live with a fairly low framerate and make sure I don’t leave too many processes open in the background (its a CPU intensive hodgepodge of a game engine). Most other newish games work fine in 1080p to be honest. I haven’t been keeping up with the latest and greatest either.
Modest framerate don’t bother me much because I’m from the era of 320x240 games.
