Frosty

Are your temperatures staying below an acceptable level? your CPU/GPU may be thermal throttling.

The only reason I would pick the R9 Nano would be if you have space constraints. If not, then go for the RX 580. Assuming they're at the same price of course.

I recall years ago replying to a thread asking if people were furries. I haven't posted anything vaguely related to furries until now, lol.

As a high-key furry: 10/10 would recommend. Totally not biased though.

I am currently enjoying this

I think Dell makes some 1440p ultrasharps with nice small bezels in that case. Though they usually cost more.

I currently own a BenQ BL2420PT 23.8" and love it. You can find those for pretty affordable prices at most places.

Checking in with my 390x, lol

While I have a desktop for demanding gaming, the games that I find I can play on my 2015 Macbook pro are stuff like Pyre, Night in the Woods, Transistor, Hotline Miami, etc. Older stuff like Half life 2 will run as well. Things like these will definitely run well on a 2016 model.

The new Keyone is nice, I've played around with one and one of my close friends uses it with no problems.

That looks like a 6 pin, yes. Do you know the model of PSU that you have?

Article: http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2980-intel-i7-930-revisit-nehalem-benchmarks-2017 GamersNexus just posted an interesting video outlining the stock and overclocked performance of a i7 chip of this generation if you are interested in gaming with it. It has held up surprisingly well when overclocked to around 4Ghz, but is still quite aged now. Also, working X58 motherboards go for quite the high price used still.

I don't believe that Core 2 processors are supported on that (915G) chipset.

I'd say that it it probably on it's last legs.

The only time it would is if your parts got too hot and started thermal throttling.
