Lawl I use a 4670k/16GB DDR3/1070 as my backup VR machine! It plays most basic VR games (even Alyx) at 90FPS, it’s wild! I’ve got a backup 2070s I wanna put in but I’m hella lazy. I also have a backup 1080 but I don’t think it fits in like, any cases (318mm)

LOL yep that was my VR system for many years (haven't even hooked up the good old Vive to my new rig yet). Alyx ran amazingly smooth at 1.2x supersampling with little to no reprojection. It surprised me too.

It’s one of the best processors for the money in the last 20 years for sure! I’m hoping my 9900k in my main machine does that well. I can’t believe that’s like 4? 5? years old now already but I haven’t had any need to upgrade it hahaha.

What’s in your new rig?

[–] Psythik 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ryzen 7700X, 32GB DDR5 6000, 4TB NVME, and a 4090. By far the most high-end rig I've ever built (and probably ever will).

I would have never been able to build such a powerful machine, but long story short I bought as much Bitcoin as I could while working my $14/hr job during COVID and it paid off. Almost embarrassed to admit this, given how anti-crypto Lemmy is. But hey, allowed me to build the PC of my dreams. I feel guilty for bragging.

I never got into crypto but I have zero issue with it, other than the energy cost. Got a bunch of BTC on an old IDE HDD somewhere I will never see… but that’s most people’s story hahaha

But nice fucking job, that’s a MONSTER of a machine. I’d you’re working 14/hr during the VID, you fucking deserve it.

I should qualify never got into crypto; I was part of a mining pool in the early 00s and got some like 5USD BTC, now that was like eight computers ago
