There are people on here with haswells and sandy Bridge and phenom processors from over 6 years ago DDR3 RAM and then...

Bow the fuck down you plebs

This, pretty much. I get a much bigger improvement from upgrading my GPU than my CPU, but I generally replace one or the other every few years. With the way the market is going and core counts have been rising over the last couple years, I'm expecting to see games with more ability to utilize more cores in another year or two and I might upgrade my CPU then. At the current moment though, my 4790K keeps up with my 1070 well enough to not worry about it. As for SSDs, I'm still using SATA based drives so the CPU isn't even close to a bottleneck there. I'll start looking at NVME drives after the next CPU replacement.

Not him, but it's not an investment. It's not even a substantial quality of life purchase. Buying a new car, fresh from a very short lease, outright a few months ago was a better use of money.

Why the fuck is there a GT710? What does this extra GPU bring to the table?

You are actually retarded if you think you're getting any kind of value with that.

Not him, but I can guess you are young, single, didn't use student loans, don't have a mortgage, and still live your parents.

He's probably making more than you, but has:
-A wife
-2 kids
-A mortgage
-A 2nd mortgage bailing out his parents when they got fucked by the housing market crash of 2008
-2 car payments
-daycare
-and a whole lot of other shit

What are you, 23? Go fucking peacock at a retro bar with the rest of the hipster "lol i should have been born in the 80's" kids, and drink wine coolers.

I'm sipping my La phroag scotch on a superclocked xeon e5-1650 sandy bridge @ 4.5 ghz.

Go ahead. Call me a boomer. Demonstrate how much you know about generations, you "lol what's a command line" fuckwit zoomer.

The 710 drives the two secondary monitors, the 1050ti drives the primary monitor and the oculus rift.

The 710 is also in charge of H264 encoding.

In what sense? The computer works fine, I do my work on it and can play modern games even VR on it. Also every part is second-hand, these are very cheap parts that i've thrown together over the years and each one has only increased the capability of the system, so where is the issue?

yikes
I don't disagree with the message but you sound like you have some deep seated insecurities tbqh

I'm using a Haswell with 16gb ddr3 ram :^)

The 1050 Ti can't do these things?

Yeah, you caught me - I love synthwave but can't stand the hipsters the scene attracts.

I legit overheard some young 20 something talking about .it/.xm tracker modules and how cool they were like he just discovered modplug for the first time.

I have like 300 of those trackers still saved from the 90s but these young bucks act like they were on the train from the start.

sorry, I'll poor more scotch, I'm nicer when I drink - usually

Because not everyone is a consumerist sheep obsessed with upgrading every single part every single year.

It physically can't drive three monitors and the rift at once; it doesn't have enough connections. The 710 was $5 and adds another HDMI, a DVI and a VGA, as well as another analogue timing clock should it be needed for some fucking around.
As for the encoding sure but why not offload that onto the 710 anyway? 710 or 1050ti they both H264 at the same speed so it only makes sense to have the 710 do it and leave the 1050ti's resources free for other, potentially more intensive tasks.

I use a laptop that is almost 10 years old.

Because we know what good enough for our needs, SSD upgrade from HDD for my [email protected]+660Ti is sufficient for me, no need to overhault just to get 20% speed and I don't play latest games

The 8350 is garbage
I had it, then I got an 8700
it destroys it.

You can't even spell Laphroaig, you utter imbecile.

Love you too, senpai. Also cocks.

This was me until my motherboard died and forced me to upgrade. Going from an 8150 to a 8350 and then to an i9-9900k is insane, I regret holding on to my shitty amd processors for so long.

Good man
my games went fast as fuck with my 8700, FX was garbage for gaming. Literal steaming garbage

Added a SSD to my Vaio P, being able to swap to SSD made the thing feel 10x faster for general computing.

When I got a vive, I just went and bought a RX 580 or whatever the fuck it was, put it in my 2011 bulldozer rig, and all was happy

Still using a thinkpad w500, don't feel the need to upgrade. Mindless consumerism is a disease.

Fuck off if you browse Jow Forums you at least spend 2 hours a day on your home computer, any adult on here should spend AT LEAST 1 weeks income/year on their PC

>oy vey goyim just spend $700 a year on a pointless upgrade that gets you zero practical benefit in day to day use!

>Fuck off if you browse Jow Forums you at least spend 2 hours a day on your home computer
Sounds about right. Now why don't you tell me why that 9900K would dramatically improve my browsing experience over the 4790K I have right now?

>literally a 55% increase

The real adults here realize that there are better things to spend $1500 on if it won't be a really big improvement. If the machine already runs all the programs we want reasonably fast, there's no reason to waste money upgrading it.

And for those who game on their PCs, some really care about getting over 100 Hz on highest settings at 1440p, others don't really mind dropping to 720p medium to make the heavier games playable.

>web browser opens in 1.1 seconds instead of 1.6 seconds
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

>55% of 1.6 is-

You honestly think 55% increase in 6 years and 4 times the price of a 3770K is worth mentioning at all? How about you compare GPU performance in the same time frame and see what's actually worth $700?

whats a command line?

okay boomer boy keep playing tf2 or some shit

Idiot. 1 divided by 1.55 is 0.645, times 1.6 is 1.03.

Because refurbished thinkpads are cheap and I'm a student. I spent £90 on my thinkpad and a further 50 to upgrade the RAM and put an extra SSD, and it runs well.

I literally don't know what to buy to upgrade my PC.

That's the most gay thing I've read in a while.

slow ram brainlets

Gpu passthrough for VM

>there are people on here who use modern overpriced, overpowered, shit hardware because they want to play shitty pseudo-games that are 99.9% graphics, .1% gameplay
When will this stupidity end?

GPU and SSD are the biggest difference makers. Why upgrade the MOBO and CPU if they haven't made that much of a leap anyway.

i use an i7-2600 with a 1050ti. games are way more gpu-intensive than cpu-intensive and for everything else an i7-2600 is still way more than enough

stay mad

i7 2700k only supports DDR 1066/1333. I have 1333, but it shows up as 666 on Speccy.

I win, just werks

Close to my setup. I'll upgrade once I'm out of school, but even then, my current rig can run mostly whatever I want. Idc for max settings

Step up your game, senpai

I'm implying I have the fastest RAM that my CPU supports

Seen people have had mixed results with running at 1600. Might try it if I find it for cheap

Alrighty, I did some research and apparently they max out at only 2133. Your best bet would be to overclock your current ram to 1600 or 1866

>none of them know what DDR is

My 4770 is still good enough for 60 fps wqhd

hey now, I do. here are my (You)s

I'm one of these people (fx-8300 + 32GB DDR3 + 1080 ti).
>Why would you do this to yourself.
Because I rarely play vidya games on PC. For the work this config suits me well.

Was looking into it myself just now. Ty user. If I'm not lazy I'll order some, assuming it's worth the change. Only like $30 from what I'm seeing

Plz explain what DDR is

Because the biggest bottleneck on most games is the graphics card, not the CPU.
Most games still CPU bound are on the Source engine, an engine that's 15 years old now.

Sometimes it's as much about the journey as it is about the destination, user. I'll upgrade when I feel the time is right.

Imagine playing games in 720p in the current year. That's Xbox 360 tier.

I'm on an 8320E with 2133 Ramz that I've taken up to 2300 for benching purposes
Also 1800 on Phenom II with Crucial Ballistix 1600 dual-rank sticks
I've also managed 1600 DDR3 on socket 775

>Why would you do this to yourself
Because I don't want to use Windows 10 and since I won't be buying a Ryzen CPU, RAM speeds don't matter.

This is a copy pasta now

This was my first thought since I have a spare GPU in my PC for this reason. But the screenshot is in Windows, PCI passthrough only works in Linux, and the Windows VM only sees the one GPU.

LOL, that's literally the added 2 cores.
Truly no improvement since 2011

DDR is the failed socialist state of East Germany, sometimes referred to as GDR

That's me you're talking about. 2600K with RX 580.
Pairing a 1080ti with a 2500K would be retarded, but I see nothing wrong with modern SSD paired even with C2D

What's WRONG with 1150 socket and DDR 3 memory user.

That's stupid blind consumerism.
Agree, most buckos and femanons just go all out with no clue about the performance of their pc parts.
I myself rock the i5-4460 and an msi 960 2gb.
Had the system since 2016 and i don't feel the need to upgrade atm.

Attached: 1548192823667.jpg (900x873, 206K)

I have a 2600k that won't die and I use as a media server atm. I have multiple 4770ks for the kiddo gaming rigs and my 4790k to boot. Damn things refuse to give up the ghost and perform well enough it's pointless to upgrade. Z87/Z97 mobos I have already had m.2. 2600k system is the only one that shows some age atm. It just runs plex and some other shit though. All of em OC'ed since purchased 4.6-4.8Ghz with cheap cryorigs 212s and a noctua. Amazing really.
