What CPU and GPU do you use 2022?

Ye I do same mistake all the time :slight_smile: just a silly meme with “Bluetooth paired” :wink:

Well, I usually use a Nvidia GPU as it’s better suited for tasks in quicker video re-encoding and all. Something AMD hasn’t really got well yet. Plus Nvidia has better support for gaming + streaming encoding on same card.

Ryzen 7 3700X and an RTX 3070Ti

Yes I have same experience! Mostly do my AMD card have strange software behavior. And I do think that G-sync is miles better then FreeSync in smoothness :slight_smile:

For the “older” generation:

Good times :smiley:

The “monster” computer i did start my WoW journey with was a HP, with 15" flat screen and a 0,25mbit broadband. It was a very expansive setup, the computer with monitor and printer did cost around 3500 euro, the year was 2000-01 when my dad bought it :stuck_out_tongue:

AMD Ryzen 5900X
32GB of DDR4 RAM I don’t remember the speed
NVIDIA RTX 3080
Monitor is an LG950GN 27 inch, 4K 144Hz

This is definitely over the top for WoW but the reason is that I love playing Microsoft Flight Simulator and that thing pulls no punches. Friggin’ ridiculous system requirements.

gtx 1060 6GB
i7 - 7700
16 gig of ram

Gets the job done. (In 1080p at least)

I run a ryzen 3600 alongside a 5600XT with 16gb ram. Smashes ultra on 1080p and 1440p out the park.

I grew up with Pentium 1 but the first PC I ever built for myself was a Celeron.
It was a fun process upgrading here and there, whenever I could

Ryzen 1700x and rx 580.

Hmm. My first PC was an IBM XT, with CGA monitor. But my first computer, was a Sinclair ZX81 :slight_smile: Fun times :smiley:

Biggest graphic upgrade I did in the past.

ISA 1mb SVGA Cirrus Logic 5544 card

And got a 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 16mb PCI card back in the day.

Only reason I did that was I wanted to play silky smooth OpenGL Unreal Tournament which came free with it.

Upgraded my old i5 3570k with a Ryzen 7 5700x with B550 Gigabyte Aeorus Elite V2 mobo and the difference is huge. Also added a 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe SSD (my first SSD ever :smiley:). Currently using a GTX 1070ti Asus Rog Strix 8GB and having 100-144 fps on high settings at 1440p 144hz monitor. Was thinking if my GPU is getting really old and is there sense changing it now or shall I wait for lets say another year?

Don’t blow my cover :smiley:

It works pretty well, although I only use my PC mostly for WoW so I can’t say much about anything else. I imagine it’ll still work perfectly fine on high settings in other games.
