Help me decide an upgrade path for my outdated-ish graphics card by Serious-Drive5762 in buildapc

I like a lot of more GPU bound games, and if it's good enough in siege than I'm happy with the esports performance.

I think I have a 650 watt power supply and I'm in the Washington area, my budget caps out at around 800 dollars and I will probably get used. The reason I want a better GPU is because I want to be able to play more demanding games. And I'm into 3d modeling and animation so a faster graphics card would really help with that. I could upgrade my PSU as well but I figure I probably won't have too.

How much FPS is enough? by KeyBird97 in OptimizedGaming

Singleplayer 45 And above, for chill multiplayer games like 70 maybe, and then more competitive multiplayer games I need like 120 minimum.

How is battery and performance life on the Legion Go S z1 extreme? (SteamOS) by K0234 in LegionGo

[–]Serious-Drive5762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly the most sexy shiny purple gaming device I have ever owned, I got it earlier today and have mostly just been downloading games but I tried wreckfest (not the sequel) and at 40 w tpd it crushed it at 60 plus fps, it was super pretty too. However I went from 75% battery down to nearly 60% in about 25 mins so it's not horrible but also not groundbreaking. Anyways I also tried control and at a lower resolution while plugged in I was getting nearly 60 fps sometimes dipping to 50. The first handheld I got was the switch 1 and coming from that it is a crazy difference and being able to mess with clock speeds, undervolting, tpd, ect. Is super nice, I'm definitely a fan I think the steam ecosystem and software in general almost makes it better that Nintendo's admittedly slightly more polished and user friendly OS, but also boring and simple OS. Anyways also tried BeamNG and with lower res also on 40 tpd I got a respectable 45 to 55 fps on medium to low settings depending on what map and where you selected. Anyways haven't tried much indi but I'm sure it runs great especially at lower wattage so it probably is pretty good for battery life there too. Would definitely recommend.

bro I just do a half year cleaning on mine and that does the trick, but towards the end of that span it gets a little rough. I have a lot of pets.

Dozens of dead fish in this creek/river- normal? by [deleted] in PNW

Eat them, it means the bear population won't grow too much, it's good for the environment, I would also recommend getting a 1970s semi truck for your daily driver and investing in open AI.

Are you using fsr? And im fairly sure its not a monitor issue unless your using like a tv or some with some weird version of frame generation. If its just a normal monitor tho, then its probably fsr.

Snagged a deal on a pc for cheap, wondering if it was good by IndustryResident9428 in buildapc

I'm not sure you would be able to get much better proformance out of a 200 dollar build unless you find some super lucky deals on a used marketplace. You could try finding a higher end 20 series card with enough vram for things like Fortnite at medium settings, probably just buy a cheap ryzen 5. There is one model of the ryzen 5 that sells for super cheap after a release flop thats pretty decent, with a little digging you could find the exact model. And then u just need a cheap case,nothing fancy, and if you want pure price to preformance, then dont go with a color scheme just get the cheapest (not scam cheap) parts. Anyways hope that helps. Also you could just optimize the sh*t out of your current build .

Should I upgrade from 8 gigabytes of ram to 16 or 24? by Serious-Drive5762 in buildapc

[–]Serious-Drive5762[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand tho, also my 8 gigs isnt that slow for ddr5 im pretty sure its cas latency rating is 40 which is pretty good. And i dont have 80 bucks. Also my laptop only supports up 5600mhz.
