A 4090 is pretty great for playing Skyrim at 60 FPS, I’ll have you know.
I only watch free tube in 12k.
Change that last to “Time to play some 8bit games upscaled to 4K”
“finally upgraded my steam deck to 1TB” plays Vampire Survivor
When I used to be interested in hardware I would buy it with half of the top of the line money, the rest invest it in some fund and then buy an upgrade in two years with that investment. Or at least that used to be the case when GPU and all the components had a tendency to become a fancy vintage museums after 2 years. You would be laughed at if you said something about future proofing.
I miss that.
YouTube is usually the first thing I open on first boot of a new machine. That way I know if the sound is working, network is working and video drivers are ok all at once.
Core i9 - Well there’s your problem.
No NVMe M.2s? What a noob! HDDs in this day and age!?!? Would you like a floppy disk with that?
4 slots of RAM? What is this, children’s playtime hour? You are only supposed to have 2 slots of RAM installed for optimum overclocking.
Does the dude even 8K 300fps ray trace antialias his YouTube videos!?!? I bet he caps out his Chrome tabs below a thousand.
NVMe uses SSDs as well as flash memory. NVMe is just the protocol.
Although joking, I do tend to assume that people who say SSD refer to the traditional SATA SSD drives and not M.2.
I need a new CPU… that new Marvel game has shown me two things
- Western Developers still have open contempt for the concept of Optimization
- I’ve upgraded EVERYTHING over the years… except for my CPU
Is 256gb RAM enough for YouTube?
I feel like building a top of the line PC cost less than half this just one generation ago. What on earth happened?
Edit: maybe the specs in the comic are just crazy.

Prices for all parts soared during corona

AI heavily increased GPU prices
“AI heavily increased GPU prices” Nvidia one of the greediest companys around increased the prices of GPUs, not necessarily AIs fault because nvidia is in direct control of their card prices.
Take a look at Intel’s new GPUs, they are actually priced in a way that isn’t fist fucking the consumer.

Got a new system and I’m playing diablo 2 and balatro on it…
HHD+
Horny hard disk. Incidentally it’s infinitely better than HDD.
What, the Horny Droopy Dick?
After 3 upgrades since the game came out, I can get a pretty consistent 40fps in Arma 3. 😤
I upgraded to a new GPU a few weeks ago but all I’ve been doing is playing Factorio which would run just fine on 15 year old hardware.
That’s the spirit!
