My i5 3450 is really showing its limits, but I'm broke as fuck 🤷

My PC was made in 2014 and i upgraded it but it died in 2022 due to mishandling. If you keep your PC clean and don't move it it can last even longer!

I've been rocking a 1080ti since launch. Upgraded my 4th gen i7 to a 9th gen i9 on a sale a few years back. SSD upgraded when I got some that were going to be recycled.

Eventually I want to move to team red for linux compatibility. Other than that, I am sticking with what I have. (Doesn't help that I have 2 small children that all my money goes to. )

Hey, mine is from 2014 too! runs linux and is fast enough for minecraft at 30fps and the sims 4.

there is no way in hell a 2014 computer is able to run modern games on medium settings at all, let alone running well. my four year old computer (Ryzen 5 4000, GTX 1650, 16 GB RAM) can barely get 30-40 fps on most modern games at 1080p even on the absolute lowest settings. don't get me wrong, it should still work fine. however, almost no modern games are optimized at all and the "low" settings are all super fucking high now, so anon is lying out of his ass.

Same, same. Except I don't really play games, but use the computer for other hobbies. It's still plenty fast and does everything I need it to do. So why buy something that does exactly the same, just is newer and looks different?

I had to replace my computer because it died.

My wife is on a 1070 and I am on a 2070 both on 1440p her fave game is 7d2d runs perfect.

7d2d

Just a heads up that this isn't an acronym people know. I consider myself knowledgeable about gaming, and I had to look it up.

When talking about hardware, if it works for you keep using it till it doesn't work. But when talking about desktop operating systems, you should be aware when it loses security updates support and try to upgrade to different one that works for you but has better security updates.

My main steed is an HP ZBook from 2014, and it is a powerful and fast computer.
