And I slapped it into my old-ass 2016 PC with a intel i7 CPU.

I plan on going all-in on the killing antidote.........yeah. Be real with me CE.....will my necks be bottled? Will I be ok playing this game at the most jiggly possible?

My spare PC has an i7-3700 with a GTX1660Ti

It can barely run CS2 at 60FPS on most maps

Lots of people still run systems with oldish CPUs + recent GPUs. You wont break any world records for frame rates with such a setup, but you should be able to play your games.

And hey, it was free.

Nice. As long as I can get 60fps on my also ancient 1080p asus monitor then I am good to go.

I know what I'm doing sometime tonight. Yessir.

I have a 6700 XT and an i7 8700, it is a severe bottleneck in games that are CPU intensive. I struggle to get 60fps in even GTA5.
Wild ARMs is still the best JRPG series in my opinion and we desperately need a new game in the series!

Honestly I really do appreciate the friends I have. The amount of times they came through for me is wild.

I wouldn't even have a steam deck if it wasn't for the same friend that sends me his older GPUs and whatnot.

But yeah I'll actually buy a new motherboard and CPU at some point. Going to see just how much longer this old faithful PC can go.

Yeah I figure with CPU intensive games I'd be pretty screwed. I plan on keeping it to the smaller type of games for now. I may see if I can run the PC versions of FF7 remake and rebirth at some point for the mods.

It's funny though, I can get a pretty solid 60 outta Red Dead Redemption 2 at a mixture of high and ultra. But I'd assume that's due to the game being less CPU dependant compared to GTA5? Not really sure honestly, just know that it's a bit funny to me.
