I been pretty silent on here since AOE4 came out and AOE3 legacy is dead. Reason was because I was using a 2010 PC which couldn't handle anything other than minimal graphics aoe3, while sounding like it was a wind tunnel. Literally couldn't run aoe4 due to system hardware requirements as you can see below.. I had the money to buy a new pc, just didn't want to because I'm not as hardcore master race gamer as I used to be. But recently a whisper in the wind tickled my ear, stimulated my senses like a carrousel ride for a young child. Deep within my heart a fire was reignited to once more pwn scrub nubs of AOE like I once did oh so many years of my life.. Below are images of my old PC, and the new beast..
Keep in my the open case concept with my old PC tower was legit how I had it the whole time.. For better thermals I'm not joking right now, if I kept the case side on, it would legit be way too hot inside the system lol.. Case is 20 years old..
I was running an AMD phenom 2, 8GB RAM, I had a GeForce 630? up until half a year ago when I bought the 700s for like 70$ on facebook marketplace LOL.. Power supply was fried so I got the 850 in anticipation of my final build. and an ACTUAL HARD DRIVE with the physical needle.. I know people still use those but you realize how slow that is compared to ssds? Insane I was using it lol..
New PC:
RTX 3070TI Tuf ASUS
Intel i7 12k
Gskill Trident 32GB 3600MHZ
Z690Pro motherboard
FIRECUDA 530 500GB SSD
GIGABITE 850W GOLD PSU
And I plugged in my old hard drive as a secondary storage drive
Soooo all in all I now made a tremendous technological leap in my PC :)
