you had nothing to do with it
in fact switch has lost so badly you could emulate its games before they even released on the toy proper
nintendo customers are losing extremely badly with the shit hardware they're using
>>712748558Get a used Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny or whatever the Dell equivalent is.
I have a Lenovo one with a ryzen 5 2400ge and installed bazzite on it. It's nothing amazing, but it can handle things like nu-hitman, dark souls 3, gta V, and a few other new-ish AAA games, so modded fallout and indie stuff shouldn't be an issue.
check ebay and buy one used from one of those e-waste sellers. I think I paid $85 for mine.

>>712753040You'll never beat a console, even Sony sells it at a loss. You need at least $1,000 for a new PC. The catch is a PC is much more expensive upfront but much cheaper in the long run than a console. That's why PC is better and that's before all the other benefits. Or pirate everything that isn't Denuvo and make it an even better value.

why would you want to buy a bunch of old trash to do something one clean swiss army knife package can do?
>>712757350Threadripper runs extremely poorly, relative to much cheaper AMD chips from the generation, in every game. I know because my home server is a 3990X, but my 5900x which came out around the same time takes laps around it. It is expensive, hot, consumes a lot of power and has shit single-threaded performance. They released like 3 months apart. It is not a rational choice for Windows or gaming. It is extremely rational for virtualization though. I can run trillions of dockers on mine, which currently has 2 7900 XTX cards in a cluster. My 5900X system, which I game on, has a 3090 Kingpin, because it is for gaming. The threadripper + XTX is for virtualization, containers and AI. It would be fucking retarded to game on it in every measurable way. Surely no one is that retarded.

If you want all the big, nice mods that add a lot to the game, I'd bite the bullet and save money here and there.
Finally after 5 years of saving and upgrading a little bit at the time, I can now run just about anything you can imagine. The main goal was to have ultra modded skyrom running at 70fps at all times. Im almost there, just a few spots here and there bring me to 50

750 EVGA G2: $120
2x used 1tb SSDs: $80
case: some antec shit from 2013 I got for free
total: $605
lol
lmao, even
consoles are shit
not just because the performance of games is questionable despite the hardware, but because of the locked down walled garden bullshit that comes with them.
At least I can buy games from different storefronts, don't have to pay a cent for online multiplayer, can mod to my heart's content, emulate damn near anything I want, and even pirate delisted games like the Chronicles of Riddick games.
meanwhile tendies are stuck dealing with nintendo's store (almost no sales) and a PAID subscription for emulation instead of the old VC on wii/wii u.
>>712765027Obviously a screenshot you found online retard
>>712765336yeah, my initial post was stating just that but not having to wait 6 months is a better incentive to own one when the alternates are a system where you either have every single game day and date on pc and one where you can emulate all the games 2 weeks only. it's the only console that made sense in combination with a pc.

>>712752783Because people build things with "materials" which are purchased in part from the US and from US companies? With the US' currency? And you threaten to invade people who don't do that?
>>712766594take the L faggot. it's over.
>>712766675you couldn't afford the power supply to run it so yeah it'd be pointless for you
>>712766708You're never beating the allegations.
>>712766608>you don't get to choose. you take what's available.
>>712766586nvidia forces their board partners to use the garbage 12vhpwr even though it only makes sense on the founders with its gay form over function approach
A $15000 gaming PC would last you a long time. My $2000 PC is from 2014 and still runs every game.
>>712766798can you even buy them in USA yet? lol
So I guess we all agree consoles are for retarded children
>>712767112consoles are great, and perform better than 99% of the dogshit PCs people have on this board
>>712766490>>712766586People always shit on gigabyte but I've literally never had any issues with them all the way back with my first PC's radeon hd 7850. I guess I'm just lucky.
>>712766586the Aorus Master is literally the fastest/coolest 5090 you can buy.
>>712767229my XTX is a gigabyte model and it's been running flawlessly since 2023.
>>712767184it doesn't take that much to clear the "performs than a console" bar
when they're both equally powerful pc still wins with the sheer amount of shit you can do with it
>>712767360people don't buy consoles for other shit.
It's like complaining that your sports car doesn't work in water.
>>712767425yes, people buy consoles because they're entry level and building a pc is scary to them or they don't have the aptitude to learn the pc environment
still, it's stupid to dismiss all the functionality because it has a learning curve
>>712767296Need we say more?
>>712767320>there are people out there buying amd gpus that aren't sapphire/xfx/powercolor
>>712768054>there are people out there buying amd gpus
>>712768054hey- if it works, it works.
>>7127665055090 has a great cooler and has the best binned chip onboard. Also the only one you can buy for 2K. So why buy a 3k aircooled dumpster fire when you can get a 2K FE and spend 250 bucks to put it on a 360mm loop?
>>712768224the FE is only worth it if you get it directly from nvidia with no markup
>>712768054for me? it's the sapphire puke edition
>>712768272Best Goy sells it in 6 drops every 15 minutes for 2K. That's where I got two. One for me and my wife. The FE cards have the BEST binned GPUs on the market. They are always guaranteed the best overclockers and come with Smasung memory only. Just waiting on this: https://modmymods.com/gpu-water-blocks/nvidia-rtx-5090.html to come back in stock.
>>712768613why would you overclock instead of just undervolting
those new tiny nodes are fragile as shit, they're going to die faster than ever
>>712768869Those are two distinct things. Are you retarded? You can raise clocks and lower voltage. Tweaking voltage is required for significant clock gains. You can raise clock while lowering voltage. You can leave the voltage the same and raise clocks. You can raise voltage and lower clocks.
>>712748105 (OP)That's isn't a gaming pc you dumb toddler.
It has a threadripper cpu and three gpus.
It is a computer for doing work, you know, that thing your parents wish you would do instead of playing games designed for children.
>>712769442i'm asking as to why you'd push the silicon that's already pushing insanely high clock speeds even higher way past healthy limits instead of just cutting back on the overvolted factory settings
it's not fucking sandy bridge, overclocking is a fools errand when silicon is 20x as dense and incredibly fragile and it'll only get worse with the 300mil/mm2 tsmc is shipping out next

>>712769743>he's not gaming on the threadripper 7995wxwhat are you, poor? you bought a gpu instead of simulating it with your cpu?
>>712769843It isn't pushed from the factory. It runs great with a 2800Mhz overclock on air already. Once I have a water block I can really push the memory over the top which is what I need. I can get it stable at 1500MHz over stock on memory with 915mV but starts to get a bit warm. Waterblock will make running a 599W stable with a better OC than any air cooler could ever do, for about 750 dollars cheaper with block/rad than literally any ultra-shitty over-priced 3rd party jew card.
>>712770378>599wyou're just going to rape the cable at that rate
>>712770534The cable is fine. I have WireView installed on mine and have seen no problems.
>>712767425people don't buy pcs for mods and all that other shit but that's what makes them stay
i recently reinstalled mgsv and i found the game way too easy so i installed a hardcore mod that actually forces me to play stealth and not feel bad for properly using my tools
if i was on console the best i can do is cuck myself into using only the bare essentials like it's a fucking pokemon nuzlocke and that does not feel good, people play games with progression systems to actually progress
>>712749361Nincucks are the worst group of retards on this board by far. It's not even fucking close.
>>712772743it's funny because even half a year ago it was snoys
tendies really were just playing nice until the switch 2 came out
>>712748546I never got that, obviously I have more money to burn than they do.
>>712748105 (OP)Even if you pay three times the price of Switch 2 for a pc it's easy to recoup the cost considering Switch 2 game prices and paid online. Although to be fair, you would have to wait for a Switch 2 emulator to play...uh... nevermind.
>>712750113Clearly all those switches were purchased by bots!
>>712750527Wait are you saying a server can play games??
What really gets me with the Switch 2 is that it seems like it's really mostly a Switch Pro in practice at the moment, a complement to the Switch 1, since what it has going for it so far are spinoffs to first-party IPs and upgrades to Switch 1 games. Even Donkey Kong Bananza, the one new non-spinoff we know of, is a radical departure from the norm for DK.
The $450 entry fee isn't outrageous to me because of the hardware value, but because of the current software value.
>>712768613 >two for me and my wife based power couple energy. FE binned silicon is peak, Iโll give you that, but youโre gambling your soul waiting on modmymods stock notifications like itโs a gacha pull. Just grab a Bykski if youโre that desperateโsame loop pressure, half the cope. Iโve got a 5090 FE undervolted to 835mV with +250 on core, stable as hell, and temps never break 60ยฐC under full load. You donโt need to fry the VRMs just to flex on HWBot, anon.
