Back again...
Monday, April 23, 2018 at 6:22PM My old computer has been hanging on by a thread forever... going into meltdown everytime I started ANY Game. The old Nvidia 680 graphics card was jumping the system temprature by as much as 40 degrees if used at all. This meant playing games was luck of the draw at best how long I could play before the game would lock up if not the WHOLE system would crash.
The budget finally allowed for a replacement, and the last couple weeks I've been putting the new unit through its paces. Of course that means getting used to Windows 10 from windows 8.1 among other things. Graphics wise I've upgraded to a GTX 1070 card. Not THE top of the line, but close enough. Too many of the GTX 1080 cards were unavailable due to the Bitcoin blight on the Top of the line cards. Not that I would have been able to swing for that at CURRENT prices.
Needless to say I'm happy. The new unit is plays everything at top level graphic settings for nearly every game I try -- Fallout 4, Skyrim SE, Champions Online, Diablo III, Saints Row IV, and more. Couldn't get Fallout 3 to work but most of my Steam library came thru. Even was able to get my Xbox Pinball FX3 library to migrate over to the PC without spending a sent thanks to it being a play-anywhere title.
So in the last couple weeks I've had SEVERAL sessions on Champions Online and actually managed to level several idle toons up for the first time in months. One new toon even got a couple cover's produced.
Look for some NEW content here shortly.
