Just a quick one, currently I got one 2.5in ssd that has both my OS and games installed. Just got a new samsung nvme ssd that I plan to do a clean install of windows 10 on and move all my games to the 2.5in ssd. Is it better to install my steam client on the same drive as my games, on the...
My current system is an i5 2500k with an nvidia gtx 980 and 8gigs of ram all played on a 1080 monitor. Been running this setup for a long time and decided it was time to upgrade since I'd like to play the new cyberpunk 2077 game maxed out when it comes out this November. I understand the...
May be a stupid question to a lot of you however I just picked up an RTX 2080 ti. Its replacing my old GTX 980. I also replaced my old 24 inch monitor with an Asus PG27UQ 4k. Mainly going to play some of my older games that were released a few years back so 4k at 120hz shouldn't be a problem...
