Devs just need to optimize their software. My i5 750 still works just fine with a 1060 and 16gb ram. Their’s thousand of great games to play, fuck the aaa.
This comment got me to stop lurking and create an account! I finally found my people!
I’m also still using an i5 750 for gaming. Just this year I upgraded to a whopping 12 GB of RAM, because a friend wanted to throw their old PC in the trash. I upgraded the GPU to an RX570 at some point. And the main reason I still use this PC instead of a low-power laptop is that many badly optimized games try to burn a hole in the integrated GPU for no reason (looking at you, unity).
I love that someone else is still out there running an i5 750 :) There are dozens of us! The i5 750 was just too good for its time
The i5 750 is probably the best CPU I’ve had. And I’ve had many computers (I need work machines for video edition, etc). I OCs it to 3.6 and it’s still a perfectly capable computer. Even the 16gb ram is overkill for the games I play, and I basically can play any games I’m interested in.
Whenever the topic of hardware comes up, I proudly mention this i5. Make sure to spread the gospel, we are legions!
I often run mine with the boost deactivated at 2.6 GHz. Still plenty for most games. At least the good ones :D I probably should repaste it before seriously overclocking, though. Do you have a specific cooler? Mine is still trapped beneath the stock cooler, it never seemed worth it to spend money on that. And for the RAM, I would still be using 8 GB if it wasn’t for Beyond All Reason, which complains if your system has less than 12 GB.
Don’t worry, I mention it on every possible occasion :D
I agree but also this shit is also affecting people who may just need replacement part or in my case just need an SSD so I can see about converting my old PC into a nomad.

Nah. Fuck AI companies causing the shortage. They should stop delaying the inevitable bubble crash and suffer real consequences.
I mean sure, fuck all those AI business. But the idea that we always need more powerful hardware is a consumerism illusion.
