      Yeah, bu can definitely be fun to mess around with. Linux Mesa supports the 40 series. I wonder how one would do in a BE-PowerPC system of around the same era?

    I recently swapped out my old 2080 with a new 5080, but my i7 8086K (type of 8700) is over six years old and it’s really struggling hard with recent titles. Oblivion remastered or Helldivers 2 take between 85 and 95% of cpu time.
