Recently I got the Mancer Heimdall RTX 2060,
but the thing is, my CPU just isn't enough to handle this GPU.
Sure, the 2060 is now a couple of years old at this point, but my CPU is even older (2012, i7 3770.)
Games such as Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite and Minecraft stutter hard on it and I need an upgrade pronto.
The problem is that I have no clue how I'm going to upgrade this.
I really want my PC to be more next-gen, but without the cash I have no clue how to do this.
I will trade in my current CPU, motherboard and RAM but I'll still be short on cash.
I've been thinking (and doing) of powering down HIVE to do it, but that takes time and with how much it's currently worth, I just don't think I'll be getting there anytime soon.
basically me rn
My current goal is that of an i3 9100F with the cheapest motherboard possible and the cheapest white label Chinese 16GB dual-channel RAM possible, just to be able to take full advantage of the RTX 2060 I have on my PC now.
Just so I can at least do video editing, so I can install games without it chugging down to a crawl, so I can have a motherboard with 4 SATA slots instead of 3, etc etc.
I know this is a gaming community and I'm talking a lot more about hardware right now, but without that hardware I don't know how I'm going to play the games my friends are playing without being in stutter city.
Hell, even Fortnite is stuttering... ON PERFORMANCE MODE!
And it's weird. It runs "fine" on DX12 mode on the best settings... but stutters, but then on performance mode it stutters just the same.
As some of you may know I was scammed some time ago out of my very decent 8th gen Intel + GTX 1070 Amp Extreme PC, and now I'm sooo close to getting something similar but I just can't get there.
WORK, PACHEKO, WORK!
I can't!
I currently have a condition called chronic stress cephalea. Which is giving me headaches every single day for absolutely no reason and at complete random. Which is why I'm posting this right now and not any earlier. During the morning my head was absolutely killing me.
And well, since this is stress related, having gone through a very very fucked up break-up didn't help at all.
This afternoon was nice, I didn't have much of a headache and I played lots and lots of Kirby's Dream Course with my cousin who's visiting from Orleans.
Hey, I managed to fit some gaming on this post!
But now I'm home and I can feel it on the back of my head... The headaches are coming back and soon enough I'll be lying in bed. And when I'm not lying in bed, I'm thinking (and failing) about content to post here, or playing Like a Dragon: Gaiden.
My life is in a pretty bad spot right now, it's not as bad as it could possibly be, I know people who are way worse and thank God for the condition I'm in, where I have people who love me and support me, but frick, it could be better.
This post is basically just to "encher linguiça" (A Portuguese expression which means to fill a void with nonsense)... But if any of you want to help out, a like on this post or a single HIVE on my account would make a world of difference.
This part isn't related to my PC but my dream is still to be a content creator. People like @stk-g, @daltono, @igormuba, @acstriker and all the other content creators with great content and incredible determination really do make me very inspired, and I will get there eventually. But first there's a lot of things to beat. My health issues, my depression, my lack of creativity, my ADHD, everything.
But I will get there, and I'll see you all on the other side.
I just needed a post for the day. And I'll need one for tomorrow as well, so any suggestions as to what I should do, go ahead and give 'em to me!
I've done benchmarks in the past with this cheap PC I have right now and as it gets less and less cheap with the upgrades I'm making, I feel like an upgrade to that video of benchmarks is in order. So maybe I'll work on that tomorrow.
Anyways, thank you all for reading the ramblings of an absolute madman!
I'll go rest now because I really need it and let my little brother use my computer, maybe one day he'll be on HIVE as well, because that's how much I deposit my hope on the future of this platform, wherein I know it'll last so long that a kid one day will be able to make content for it as well when they grow up and become a responsible teen/adult.
Have a good one, みんな！
