Hi, I just joined, I'm a pc gamer, I just acquired a spark modem. My pc is only mid. ryzen 7 1700, 32 gig ddr4 and an rx580 8gb. It manages to chug along on most games at 1080p. My next purchase will hopefully be a card capable of raytracing. Anyway, hello.

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally, as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments, not the people behind them.

Welcome aboard :)

 

Just upgraded from a 1650S to a 9060XT myself, don't have much that takes advantage of the raytracing options, but overall games are so much better with it, can actually crank things up now :D

Greetings fellow PC gamer and welcome to the madhouse.. 

 

What sort of games do you play?




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
