Reading other posts on these forums, I was seeing references to the GPU’s, Ram, and other bits and bobs on other player PC’s.
I was intrigued (OK . . to be honest, nosy) about other players gaming computers so I thought “well I’ll just ask”.
What are the specs of the PC that you play Conan Exiles on.
My PC is a HP Z840 (a server PC).
CPU: 2 x E5-2640’s. Each 2.6 GHz 8 core with Hyper-Threading (ergo 32 logical cores).
Ram: 64 GB DDR4 (an overkill I know, but 64 came with the PC so I just left it all in there).
GPU: 8GB Nvidia GTX 1080
PSU: Original HP 1450W (220-220V).
Storage: all SSD’s.
Before the Z840 I had a Z420. That had one 6 core CPU (with H/T, ergo 12 core), 32 GB Ram, and a Nvidia 1650 GPU.
The Z420 is now my ‘Gaming Server’ for Conan Exiles, and Satisfactory.
Before that my gaming PC was a HP8300 (now used for CCTV here at home).
My very first ‘Gaming PC’ was a HP SFF DC7600. It only had a 240W PSU but that was all that was needed at that time.
That was many, many, many moons ago.
My first game . . . The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Some fluttering tinsel, whirligigs, spinners, couple hamsters on a wheel and a slightly cracked crystal ball…
I guess mine is custom as I bought the parts separately and put it together myself. It’s done very well so far until I started running into the video ram limit.
Asus prime B460M-A lga 1200 motherboard
I5 10600KF cpu
GTX 970 video card
Intel 512 gig NVMe SSD
Ripjaw 16 gigs ddr4 ram
It’s getting long in the tooth, not eligible for Windows 11 it tells me, and one consideration about a new video card is the computer itself then becomes a bottleneck to performance.
I was relatively lucky about the timing of the old machine reaching the end of its lifespan, fortunately before the current major upswing in prices. Hopefully the current machine should last me a good long time.
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super
Most of play Conan Exiles playtime was on the previous rig, an older Core i7 with a NVIDIA 1070. Worked perfectly fine. The new rig I built for more demanding games, AI and - curse you, Microsoft - Windows 11.
For those who care to peruse such things and weren’t already aware Tom’s Hardware has a great gpu comparison chart/article. Though the prices they list are a bit outdated.
For the sake of completeness, I found a refurbished Gigabyte 1660 Super video card with 6 gigs of ram on Newegg for 120 bucks so pulled the trigger on it. Kind of bottom of the barrel for a relevant video card that’s still supported nowadays but I’m cheap. Yesterday’s technology tomorrow. That’s my motto.
Haven’t found a base or area yet that takes it below 40 fps with all graphical settings maxed on cinematic at 1080p. I’m sure a high end card would blow that away but it’s a huge step up from the 4 gig gtx 970.
Still need to test it on a game that actually requires 6 gigs of memory but I r the happy so far.
