Basically exactly my specs except 4 gigs more of ram than I have. Game is playable (ish), but breaks down to >10 fps in hubs with more players or more busy spaces. Still, playable enough for me to have spent a couple of hours at least in it.
haha i'm running a 2014 asus 970, a 3000-series 2013 i7 and mix and match 12 gbs worth of ram on a dying motherboard bought second hand from shenzen. Really starting to realize now that my computer really isn't as up to scratch as it used to be
Man, The moment I purchased the computer I just realised that in 2 years this stuff would be old-gen. Now we got the 3060 for half the price of a 2080 and triple the peformance.
I'd argue it's more like minecraft beta/alpha.
stuff being old gen doesn't make it bad. I'm running hardware that is all 6-8 years old and can still basically run everything I've ever wanted to run throughout all that time. A new series i7 and 2080 will last you forever
Yeah, I'm happy with the purchase. Always looking to upgrade though. My next goal in terms of setup is getting two Virpil Constelation Alpha sticks for a HOSAS setup and a stream deck.
Why two stick instead of getting a hotas package? You can get some good deals of very good hotas setups that work for pretty much everything
I've got a HOSAS setup already. Two thrustmasters so I dont feel a rush. Honestly really good budget sticks. but like I said. I always seek to upgrade. Not to mention the Alphas have more buttons than you'd probably need.
noooo don't do that, external carry ssd's are not meant to be used like that and will reach its write limit in no time
alright the game can fuck off then im not cracking open my whole pc and taking out like 7 different cables just to put a new drive in it because it's a Special Big Boy Game That Needs To Feel Special and demands i do so
ask anyone knowledgable what the first pc upgrade you should ever do to an older system is and 99% of them will say "upgrade your system-running hdd to an ssd" because literally everything will run smoother, quicker and have less chance of losing data. It's not this special game that needs you to do this, it's a pretty standard upgrade that you do on literally any older system.
and then, what, replace everything again in 3 years when it reaches its write limit?
no, a regular ssd will probably last you longer than an hdd would because it's not as sensitive.
it's a matter of moving my chair in my incredibly cramped room, unplugging 7 or so awkwardly-positioned cables, some of which will be impossible to find later, dragging out my heavy-ass tower, and then struggling to find somewhere to ground myself in my cramped, carpeted bedroom so i dont fry £1500+ worth of electronics
sata is for data, you'll need that between your motherboard and harddrive. If your PSU is new then you probably have some cables left over unless you're already running A LOT of components.
yes, i know what SATA's for, i was meaning the accompanying power lead coming from the PSU. and my PSU's been the same since i first built this thing (other parts have been replaced obviously, PSU is like the only thing in it thats over a year old rn) so it's been in there for maybe 7-8 years and i have no idea how many cables it has left. I only have 1 HDD right now so it PROBABLY has a spare but i'd still like to know for certain
