I was very lucky I decided to build a rig right after the last crypto collapse. My only regret is not going over the top with ram and storage.
I'll be playing my DEEP catalog of games (decades of personal collection and frankly amazing emulation capabilities) for years on this 3080 EVGA ftw. It's like we are holding the holy relics of a once great civilization. Mabey the 2nd foundation will do better.
I have 64GB of DDR4, but only a 5600XT. Held off on a graphics card upgrade a little too long and missed the boat, but I still get by just fine. And I can happily say I've never paid more than 500 for a graphics card lol
The real kicker for me is that I was considering asking my employer to upgrade my work laptop from 8GB in 2025, but didn't because I wasn't doing anything intensive for work. Then after the RAM prices went through the roof they started having me doing CAD work.
Yours GPU is especially a relic given that it's EVGA.
My 2080ti is still ripping through games no problem. I don't need 8k raytracing or AI-slop-antialiasing. I usually just flick textures to high or medium if needed and focus on actually playing the game. A few extra sparkles is not going to meaningfully change my experience.
I have a fair bit of ram but its spread out. My poor main rig only has 32 ddr4, and I picked up 32 for my primary proxmox host when it was $80, I wish I would have just upgraded them all. Lol. So many salvaged 8g dimms so few ram slots.
As for my card: At the time I was reluctant to spend the $750 (EVGA was clearance selling them, just before they exited the GPU market), but after seeing them hit $2500 at the peak I couldn't resist. Apparently it was a good call based on the market since then, it's been a great card, and will probably be running my home lab when the next upgrade cycle comes. (The home server is currently 3 mini PCs in a trench coat, so a real GPU will help)
Lol, poor with only 32?
I have 32gb in mine and I can barely use more then 12 even with recent games. Two browsers, hundreds of tabs, and a game going... 8.2 used.
Been playing Arx Fatalis lately, it is great. Next up is Ultima VII. Finished Half-Life and the expansions earlier this year. Lots of great, older games out there. Also many good new indie games that aren't demanding.
