Should I build a new rig?
Sorry about starting a thread on a personal topic.
This is a question I am on the fence about. With the upcoming Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 games which obviously I am greatly anticipating, I do worry about how my PC is going to cope, I felt my PC's age recently when I had to run Bioshock Infinite at medium settings. First game in a while I had to set that low to keep a decent framerate. Big problems I know, medium *gasp* but this does bring up the question about how it can handle games from the next couple of years.
Rather than give you a dxdiag I'll list my most important parts. This rig was built back in late 2008 btw
ASUS M3A78-T motherboard (AM2+, PCI Express 2.0 x16 etc etc).
Radeon HD 4870x2
Phenom 9950 quad core black edition
4gb RAM.
Finance situation, could be better but not about to go hungry and homeless. Can easily save up for parts.
I welcome any and all feedback, suggestions, tips, etc etc.
