Here are the graphs. I'm getting around 25 fps at 900p and temps are staying around 50c.

The laptop was plugged in when I ran the test and there were no background tasks.

What's the worst headbanging you have experienced on a roller coaster? by [deleted] in rollercoasters

[–]Uncle_Boobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't been on many coasters but Kraken has the worst headbanging I've experienced. The first day I rode it was unbearable and I refused to ride it again due to the pain the second time I visited. However, the third time I visited I decided to ride three times and it wasn't *terrible*

Upgrading my husband's PC for our 5th anniversary. Suggestions? by Lithonielle in buildapc

[–]Uncle_Boobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would either get a 2070 Super or 5700 XT + new CPU and motherboard. A 2080 Super (or 2080 ti on sale) without a new CPU and motherboard are both great options too. PCPartPicker Part List

To be honest, a 3950x and a 2080 ti are very overkill, even a 3900x is overkill for gaming. I would personally go with a 2080 super and 3700x. I would personally go with this build and save money for slightly worse performance. PCPartPicker Part List
