me. I'm the people still modding skyrim. honestly it was the primary drive for upgrading my rig until Cyberpunk was announced.
Too bad that engine is piss cause I can run newer games, unmodded at 4k just fine but Skyrim craps out the moment I'm out doors unless its at 1440p.
I got extremely lucky with the 3xxx series cards. Managed to snag a 3090 from a miner for $600 + my 5700 XT back in May and less then a month later I got another off craigslist from a disgruntled housewife for $1,000

ayo @AP2.0 @konceptjones I got this last year just to have some basic shit to play a game I wanted and because I needed one for practical reasons. But as far as gaming goes is there any reason to upgrade this vs putting that money towards a desktop

"I can fix that"
Gonna start a build around Xmas, my laptop's ram is too low for what I'm doing musically. I'm going at least 32 gbs of ram to future proof it for the next decade or so. Think it'll run me 1.5-2k.
Man look into the steam deck that's about to come out.
That's gonna be my gift to myself

That’s enough to talk shit online and write papers and then zoom to talk more shit lol.
You can play moderate games but don’t expect Pac-Man to wow you

not really into handhelds lol

The one between three and three.
Might wanna see if you can bump that up to 16GB of RAM.
What size drive did you get with it? Both options I see are on the anorexic side.

I LOVE TRANNIES!
Do you already have a desktop or are planning on getting one? Gaming is always better on a desktop.
I'm not either but that shit is gonna be dope for traveling. I'ma bring my shit to work. I got an office now so I can close my door

When I went on the dell site I chatted with one of the sales reps and he recommended the Aurora R13 with an intel 12th gen after I told him what I wanted to do. Problem was I saw that it doesn't come with an optical drive. I know I could just buy an external one but kind of wanted it included. I got some old games on discs that I want to play too
he might've been trying to upsell you lol
consider this...
what is the resolution that you want to play most of your triple A title games on max settings? are you cool with 1080? or you want 4k?
this will definitely influence the build.
I'm personally more than comfortable with 1080p. I might not upgrade to 4k until i move to my next house in a few years so 1080 is more than enough for me.
But this will impact what kinda PSU, GPU, and CPU that you need to get.

4k. I also want to be able to play games and have around 5 windows open with over 100 tabs total (though I use that tab sleep feature on edge) while downloading and uploading numerous things at the same time. I'll likely keep the PC on for a couple weeks at a time too. Though I may just end up buying a dedicated seedbox

My guy you doing the most but its possible. You basically just want the lastest of everything at this point. unless your willing to give on the 4k gaming or the hundred tabs, prepare to spend 2k.
now if you was willing to do with a little bit less, then I could maybe make some suggestions but as of right now, spend or regret it.
