    Can confirm, pc bought in 2016, upgraded CPU and GFX card, can play VR games and games at 4k with decent framerates.

      Specs? 2016 is pre-ryzen so I sincerely doubt what you’re saying is true. Even if you have the then top of the line i7 6800k.

        Really depends on the game. Even early Ryzen didn’t perform well on games that were largely dependent on single core performance.

          I know but if you had a Ryzen 1000 you could eventually upgrade to a Ryzen 5000. For example, I started with a 1600 that I then upgraded to a 3600 and finally a 5600.

          2080ti came out in late 2018 and is only 2 generations old. The 7700k came out in early 2017 so it’s a bit older and I doubt you get actually “decent” fps in 4k or VR. Decent being 60+ at least.

            Yup, I did say I upgraded the GFX card and CPU. And it depends on what games, not much of an fps fan, so yeah, most things I play are great, and yes, even VR. But you don’t need to believe me, it’s of no consequence.

                  Why would being an “fps fan” have anything to do with the performance of your system being decent or not? There are plenty of demanding games that aren’t shooters.

        They are straight up lying.

        My 3080 has to be dropped to medium on most modern titles to stay in the 60-90fps range.

      No you can’t. Unless you are dropping details to an absurd level or not playing graphic interactive games this is 100% grade A bullshit.

      I have a 3080 and regularly drop things to medium or even low on certain toggles on newer game to keep it at 60fps or better.

      What games are settings are you running on you 1080 at 4k. Please provide specifics so we can be sure we’re not comparing apples to oranges.

        Lol, this feels like exactly what the original greentext was saying. I posted them under a different comment, I also didn’t say I was playing everything on high. Playing HL Alyx on medium rn. Sure, not as crisp an experience, but still really good.

        So? He upgraded the GPU and CPU so 4k should run fine depending on what he upgraded to ofc.
