Got the parts to fix my air conditioner in my car, and a used phone, and a retro handheld I had been putting off.

All used, of course. I’m not contributing back to this corrupt hell government.

    What games are you playing where it’s showing its age? I’m using a 2070 super personally. With a variable refresh rate monitor I hardly notice slowdown unless it’s below 30fps, or if it’s spiking.

    I also play old games. My recent ones (past year) have been Fallout New Vegas, Stardew Valley, Watch Dogs, Watch Dogs 2, Sonic Unleashed Recompiled, and Cyberpunk 2077.

      Its not the games so much as the resolution; I’m at 4K, watchdogs 2 struggles and i had to drop settings a bit to maintain 50+ fps.

      Esir: also i want to play Avowed at 60 FPS. Love the universe and played both Pillars of Eternity games, enjoyed the tutorial island of Avowed, just wanna enjoy buttery smooth combat.

        Oh yeah, resolution will absolutely eat GPU power. I’m at 2k, but that’s also what my monitors were made for. Not sure how good that would look on a 4k mon.

        Might be worth trying to downscale and use reshade for extra antialiasing though, if you’re up for tinkering with fiddly bullshit that might not help too much.
