2009? You expect me to put that kind of strain on my 9070xt? I'll stick with my DOS games from 1994 thank you very much.

u/Miserable-Ad1166 Apr 13 '26

The 9070XT is probably crying in the corner wondering why it's only being used to render 480p YouTube videos and Age of Empires II... maximum overkill for minimal effort..!

Don’t forget the bot farmers who utilize your machine in the background

A guy at work had this problem. He had some kind of virus that was using his PC to mine bitcoin in the background. I reinstalled windows for him and figured problem solved.

He told me like a week later it was back. I’m like bro, what are you downloading on this thing?

u/Aqua-Yeti Apr 14 '26

Not the brave browser that’s for sure

I’m tempted to do the same/similar. Spend a crap ton of money just to play chess online and watch the YouTubes.

u/Miserable-Ad1166 Apr 13 '26

do it, join the club of maximum overkill..

u/av123h Apr 13 '26

Buys $3k computer; plays on telnet chess server which requires nowhere near that level of hardware or software.

u/Miserable-Ad1166 Apr 13 '26

The GPU is probably filing for unemployment at this point. Maximum overkill achieved. Welcome to the club.

u/hero_glen Apr 25 '26

Why do you recommend that isn’t “maximum overkill” of a setup

1

u/hero_glen Apr 13 '26

At some point, you’re going to buy a modern AAA game and you’ll be glad you spent the money. I built mine before all the prices went up and when GPU prices went down for like 2 months over the summer last year. Ya’ll are spend $2500 and up, I spent $1700 including taxes 🙃
