/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5034863
umm thats actually Pretty Darn Hard to arrange for alot of people, or at least anyone interested in /vr/. If you're interested in /v/ or you're using your work computer then most likely you're playing modern stuff.

Mainly because the cheaper computers that are available are refurbished models from around that time or they're netbooks. The one I picked up a few months ago plays GZ now but im the guy who had the "disgusting" red windows 7 theme running a netbook that couldn't even achieve oGL 2.0.

Turns out this comp was a much better thinkpad laptop, refurb, but it was manufactured in 2012. Doesnt sound too far off from that time period. It runs oGL 4-something but its only a 2 core cpu going at about 1.5 ghz.

Games like GZ do tend to rely alot on CPU power and even so for other games the onboard AMD graphics might require at least 512mb of vram and this one only has 384mb (how they'd pick some non-2-power amount to give it is beyond me).

CIP - you're in /vr/ and one reason that some people go to /vr/ is because they have a toaster or semi-toaster and decide
> "Hah! I can at least still run old games with it! Yeah I remember those quite well, time to get to modding them so they wont be the same old thing"
One reason for buying a toaster is economical, more beer money, having another expensive hobby like collecting guns, saving up for a house, having a big budget for monster drinks, the list goes on.
Im quite happy with how this computer performs, its only some modern games that start slowing it down, and im comfortable (tho not exactly happy) with framerates that dip down around 15. In fact I dont like framerates above 30-40 because I dont like real-life smoothness in my games which are obviously not real life.
Ive run into memory shortages only a few times with the 4 Gb I have, and thats not a big issue for me if its only happened a few times.
