"I want to play retro games on it!" (walks away with a modern gaming rig) Mission failed successfully

@ZombieRonSwanson 2 года назад

that thing will be an emulation powerhouse

@paritybit7830 2 года назад

It'll be all right. It'll play retro games just fine, and there are a lot of modern games with a retro feel that actually have a ton of graphical features that can be unlocked. I was really surprised at how much new detail and animation was added to Hades when I got my 3060 (ty newegg shuffle), and while I haven't played it yet, the Diablo II remake is another obvious case.

@mintagenart 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure he meant retro PC games, which are actually really hard to get compatible with modern devices. My Sims 1 cannot run whatsoever on my Windows 10, and other games like Fallout 1&2 and some others have messed up colors when running on modern video cards.

@paritybit7830 2 года назад

@@mintagenart Ah, that's unfortunate. In case where compatibility mode fails, you'll probably have to install an older Windows into a virtual machine, which could take a little work to get going just right. Or you could give DosBox a try, some (most?) of the Win95/98 era games could simply be launched from the DOS command line.

@Daniel-ss5tg 2 года назад

I had to buy a pre-built pc with rtx 3060 for 1200 euros cuz there were none in my country at the time and it would cost over 1k to get it here. I've used my pc for 5 months now I think. It works great and doesn't overheat cuz lenovo built it. If you buy pre-built, buy Lenovo pcs, I tried Acer's one and the cpu overheated to 100 degrees even on simple tasks.

@heretic124 2 года назад

@@kelvinkms3671 They use the same cards. Other distributors like MSI, Asus, Gigabyte, EVGA, etc. usually put better cooling on them which allows for better overclocking and performance overall. But the core of the card is the same if you buy Alienware desktop, get it directly from Nvidia or from EVGA. It's just that lower temperature = longer lifespan. It's not like a card in HP desktop will last two years instead of five if bought separately. It might just perform slightly worse because of the cooling and temps it's running on (which also depends on how well you build your PC yourself), it may get slightly shorter lifespan but not that much shorter that it's worth paying double for the same specs. I'll gladly sacrifice 3 months out of 72 if I save 1000+ euros. Plus there's the option of extended warranty.

I had that chassis brand new day one when Compaq came out with them. I bought the 5VW297 with a 52x CD-RW and a 4x DVD-ROM. It had 128MB of 133MHz SD-RAM. At the heart was the absolutely gorgeous and incredible AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1,000MHz (The first 1.0GHz proc). It also came with an Nvidia TNT2 RIVA 16MB card SVGA card. I swapped it later for a 3DFx VooDoo. I wish I kept the chassis. It was the nicest chassis I have ever seen to this day. I bought the red and blue translucent covers that came with the cover for the keyboard hotkeys and the JBL speaker filters that matched color as well.

The best PC case I owned from a prebuilt back in the day was from a Gateway GM-5420. I still think that case is dope. It also had a hidden compartment under the front bottom panel if you moved a lockarm over also hidden on the bottom underneath. It came with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz and 2GB RAM. and a Bazooka style cpu cooler. Straight out the side panel. That pc was actually really good with the upgraded 8GB RAM and GTX 560ti 2GB

I don't recall Compaq ever really being good but much like Gateway they offered decent bang for the buck if you were just buying a cheap PC to get on the web and do general desktop publishing/office work. The ones near the end before they were bought out were well entwined in the race to the bottom in price/performance at the cost of upgradability and quality.

The bottom of the front bezel is sloped... the ends of the workbenches were sloped. I grabbed the paperwork and turned around in time to see the client's computer do a front flip off the table... replaced the case and everything worked but it was an awkward phone call to the client.
