What game encouraged you to make your new PC, or upgrade? (lemmy.world)

Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I've been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I've ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it's space epicness.

What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!

Yep. And somehow you're always still bottlenecked by something...

Like most MMOs, it's pretty CPU heavy, and it just goes up when more and more players are onscreen.

I read that it's now on DX11, does that help? XD

well currently I'm at the point where I can play it pretty maxed out with 120ish frames or more for most of the time, even huge meta events stay perfect playable.

So I'm pretty happy 😊
