I still use a Thinkpad T440p :3

Yeah those Jones boys are a litist bunch

My only concern would be if anon maintains his PC. Sure, anon bought the PC in 2014 abd never upgraded... But dies anon at least open it up once in a while to clean it out or switch the thermal paste?

Maybe it is like drug addicts or drunks who, even though they know it is not the healthiest vice, they try to get everyone else to do it too?

I'll do you ~one~two better: my computer's from 2012. I can play even modern games on high settings sometimes. It wasn't even a high specced one at the time. I think I put about $1200 into the actual components AND monitor/keyboard.

I'm still using the i7 I built up back in 2017 or so... Upgraded to SSD some years ago, will be upping the ram to 64gigs (max the mb can handle) in a few days when it arrives...

I’m running a 2015 MacBook Pro still. I’m not spending $2k+ on a computer again anytime soon.

I upgraded and the new graphics card makes a buzzing sound. It seems low quality despite the high price.

Here's my ass with an i5-9400 and an RX 580 playing all the games i want at medium. Love this PC lol

My PC is still largely the same, in general spirit, as when I built it (c 2014-2015). But I have had to upgrade some key components over time. First was the move from a 1TB WD Blue HDD to a Samsung 860 Pro 128GB SSD (for my OS's drive), and, related to that, at some point soon after, I moved my games drive from an HDD to an SSD. Next, I upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. This build state lasted a decently long time until I switched from Windows to Linux, so I switched my Nvidia GPU to an AMD Radeon RX 6600 (not exactly an upgrade, but more of a side-grade) to improve the user experience. The most recent change (last year, iirc?) was upgrading my RAM from 8GB DDR3, to 16GB DDR3. My CPU (Intel Core i5-4690k) is starting to really show its age, though, so I've been wanting to upgrade that, but that will likely entail a near rebuild of my entire system, so I've been avoiding it, but, unfortunately, it's increasingly becoming more of an issue.

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

The only thing I am a bit sad about (on my fairly recent machine) is that I can't really enjoy is Ray tracing but that's just because I went AMD 🤷

I built my current rig like a month before the COVID lockdowns. Still runs everything on high/ultra even without DLSS (because my 1660 Super is too old to have it) or FSR (in fact, turning FSR on usually makes things worse).

Really, the only game recently released that hasn't given me full 60FPS@1080p consistently is Starfield. But it does run, it runs at 30-40 most of the time and can get 60 in interior cells and I never had it crash on me the whole way through my one, solitary playthrough. Which says a lot considering the track record of stability and performance of Bethesda's games and the fact that my hardware isn't even supported; it's technically below the minimum requirements.
