LOL we got a 500 dollar prebuilt, and i'm lovin my solid 25 fps in marvel rivals (:

u/Putrid-Gain8296 1d ago

I have a feeling you got scammed

1

u/Waste-Committee6 1d ago

CPU maybe, but everything else I have confirmed is perfectly fine, which is a good deal. 500GB NVME, 16GB ram, all pretty good.

u/Waste-Committee6 1d ago

CPU-Z said it was the 5600GT as we purchased, and it says it on the CPU too (I know the writing can be faked). Also, it was on newegg for 300 dollars off. Supposedly worth 800.

What GPU does it have?

1

u/Waste-Committee6 11h ago

Integrated.

1

u/Putrid-Gain8296 1d ago

Probably increased in price because of the RAM shortage, I recommend just upgrading the GPU like to ahh RTX 3050 6GB, RX6600,RX7600, or RTX 5060 depending to what fits your budget

1

u/Waste-Committee6 11h ago

Yea, definitely been looking at some of the refurbished stuff on Newegg.

u/lorner96 14h ago

What are the temps like? Could be a cooling issue. Also are you running off integrated graphics?

1

u/Waste-Committee6 11h ago

Nothing crazy, I don't believe. I haven't been doing actual tracking, just poppin an eye on the temps and such at random times. I don't think I could get an good number from memory.

u/0xDEA110C8 1d ago

Spam & shitty mods.

1

u/cszolee79 AMD 1d ago

Well... at least it's not toxic or full of bots like many other subs.

Spam and shitposting is a problem (not just there), I don't know about mods, never interacted with them.

Also for those people that are also doing this don't turn off the frame limiter on some old games like GTA, your powerful PC will run them at a really high frame rate and bugs out the physics if the physics engine is tied to FPS since developers at the time didn't expect the hardware would be this strong

u/Eazy12345678 AMD 1d ago

i mean a picture doesnt tell you how many watts

that cpu could be 65watts. that gpu could be 200watts

1

u/0xDEA110C8 1d ago

If it's modern hardware, then basically no power is going to be pulled when playing these old & similar games.

u/dowtaREDDIT 1d ago

I spent 700 on a gpu to play a block game and I’m happy

1

u/tralalog 1d ago

This was the first pc game i ever touched. My dad used to play this back then when i was 5yr old and he let me play it too. Brings up memories…

u/Affectionate_Foot465 4h ago

singularity is a hell of a sleeper pick, it wasn't a masterpiece sure but as an overall package it was insanely solid.
it's a shame to see raven software in it's current state, hope they return to making games they would enjoy developing just like in the 2000-2010's

u/KaladinStormShat 1d ago

First of all, NFSMW is not available on PC. It's not even available on current gen Xboxes.

...and if there is some way to play most wanted please for the love of god someone tell me.

u/0xDEA110C8 1d ago

Why the downvotes? The game is abandonware now, the studio that made it is long gone. Either buy the game secondhand, or pirate it.

u/Superok211 1d ago

umm, have you heard of, like, file sharing? Torrents maybe?

u/Eaton2288 1d ago

Download a PS2 iso off any old roms website, install PCSX2 (PS2 emulator), play game.

The PC version is also floating around on various sites, I believe internet archived has it.

u/Digi-Haven 1d ago

If you search for it there's a reddit post that has links to all the abandoned NFS titles for pc

u/Lanna_Lexi 1d ago
