Since the minimum and recommended specs for Starfield have come out, I’ve been budgeting to do a big upgrade on my PC with an AMD 6800 xt and a fancy new 1 TB SSD (which is the first game I’ve ever seen that requires an SSD) just so I can run the game in all it’s space epicness.
What was the game that you were so excited for that you made the jump to upgrade your PC to the next gen of hardware? New or old!
For me, it was Cyberpunk 2077. I wanted to run around Night City with ultra graphics and raytracing. Too bad it launched in such a badly optimized state.
A few games have gotten me to do that over the years.
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition was what finally convinced me to fit a 1TB SSD, and Control was what convinced me it was finally time to get a ray-tracing card.
DCS World is the biggest reason that my most recent build had 64Gb of RAM.
