A build achieving its final form is such a satisfying experience.

 

Old specs:

1x8GB DDR3 1600

MSI armor GTX 1050 TI

Some stickers

 

New specs:

i7-4790K

2x8GB DDR3 1600

Hella stickers

 

 

As my first build in the Sugo some years ago, it's a rig that I'm super proud of. It's a machine that is extremely useful to the owner for her everyday life, and it allowed her to really explore her gaming interests. Now it's in a great place to last her for a little longer.

 

Now that her PC specs have been upgraded, the swapped out parts can be used elsewhere.

 

Side machine specs:

i5-4570

2x4GB + 2x1GB DDR3 1600

2xGTX 1050 TI (madness I know)

 

 

I'll be making a post about the results of my Different SLI Auto tests to see if low end GPU scaling has tangible benefits in modern titles. Give me some suggestions for what to test with, and specifically if you believe it will yield either high or low scaling.

 

yeah never mind, the driver editing ran into some serious problems with the version of the software I was using, and older driver versions were not stable on my setup. The software is pretty old anyway, so for simple fun, not worth the multi hour deep dive to troubleshoot. Oh well!
