Trying The Best AG Racers on PC With My New Computer

Thank you for all your help in helping me buy a new PC! Let me know if you think there is a PC exclusive game I didn't cover in the video and feel free to suggest simple computer upgrades.

Hi Eric! For $150 thats a good rig! Maybe I'd suggest in the future you get a 7th gen ryzen 5, with it's respective motherboard, it will set you back a couple hundred dollars but after that you'd have a great foundation for upgrading, knowing that most Ryzen CPUs already have a GPU built into them. After that I'd go for as bigger an SSD you can afford and 16G more ram. High end GPU's are still too expensive IMO and not worth at all for games that are more in the indie realm and not that Gfx intensive

Thanks

Less friggin go! Now I wonder how it would handle emulation. Mainly PSP titles are very easy to emulate, and the process of setting it up legally is surprisingly simple nowadays!

Congrats on your new baby Erik!

Congrats! Not a bad PC at all especially for indies, and at $150 I'd upgrade the ssd first, cpu and gpu are still passable. Upgrading either of those may require a new motherboard and power supply as well Looking forward to more pc content!

Don’t forget to review “get REKTorized”, but remember to clarify: - It’s currently free - It’s still in development - It’s made by literally one guy - It’s brutally unforgiving on purpose - It focuses more on total chaos than on racing - The campaign is full of riddles Be completely honest in your criticism. I must also warn you that the level “DDoS” in Chapter 3 of the campaign will freeze repeatedly. That’s on purpose, as it turns out, there’s nothing wrong with your computer. (I was actually pretty angry when I found this out the hard way, hence this warning.)

Even I didn't know about a few of these! Thanks for the video! Congrats on the new computer! Happy racing!

Hey, Erik! First off - congrats with your new PC! When I saw the specs I was a little iffy (seeing as how my own PC is quite a bit newer), but when I heard the price... $150 is practically a steal, so you got a really good deal on this one! Hope you enjoy it! About the performance on Deathgrip: it's definitely a beefy game that hasn't been optimized terribly much yet. This will happen later, however. But yeah, it does indeed require at least a GTX 1080 ti if you want to play it somewhat properly on lower quality levels. The only areas where even high-spec PC's lag are areas where a lot of assets load in, though Brian is looking into this. Hope you can enjoy the game somewhat soon! As for BallisticNG: The devs put a new physics mode in the game that got a lot more meat on its' bones with the latest few updates. Supposedly it's meant to feel more like the later WipEout games. Have you tried it out? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Congratulations on the new PC, it seems quite decent for the price!

16 GB RAM is usually perfect for a wide variety of current games, I find.

ArcRacer has a very weird speed feeling. Can't wait when you finally test F-Zero GX on Dolphin :D

Nice,now we can get some BallisticNG career streams hopefully! :D

The tricky thing about the PC is that the motherboard will preclude most new hardware other than video cards (and then you'd need to worry about power draw). A solid state drive would be nice to have, even just to put the operating system on it, that'd have a significant effect on how fast the PC is in a day-to-day sense.

I hope to some day get a new pc so i can finally record gameplay with animated billboards in BallisticNG

I was researching minimum hardware requirements for modern triple A games & a GTX 960 meets the minimum for some of them. I think Deathgrip could be optimised to run on a 960 & still look good.

Oh, maybe you should back everything up, because that hard drive is probably old AF and gonna die soon. Getting an SSD for a boot drive might not be a bad idea either, it’ll improve performance significantly.

Congrats on your new baby Erik!
