msi x370 sli plus (ms-7a33)
amd ryzen 7 1700x eight-core 3.60 ghz
32 GB ram
geforce rtx 3080 12gb
932 gb ssd samsung ssd 870 qvo

I currently run 5 games, 1 primary and 4x with nohd mod and that seems fine unless im playing mosaic..
any upgrade suggestions that arent too far out of the box?

you might get into a VRam bottleneck if wanting to run more instances

So would sell these 2:
Quote (E1337 @ May 31 2025 01:12pm)
  • amd ryzen 7 1700x eight-core 3.60 ghz
  • geforce rtx 3080 12gb

And:
  • Upgrade CPU to the latest with integrated graphic on AM4 socket, so like, 5700G, 5705G, 5700GE, 5705GE (8 cores / 16 threads)
    G are 65W TDP, GE are 35W TDP
  • Upgrade the RAM to at least 64GB which will also be used as VRam for the integrated graphics on CPU

allowing you to bypass your current 12GB VRam bottleneck

Windows 11, specifically 24H2, seems to hit performance noticeably for D2R. You could try using Windows 10 if you're not on it currently

Might need to upgrade your RAM in both size and speed as well depending what you currently have. ~5 seems to be about people are getting with 32GB but they don't specify speeds and other info for context.

If you really wanted to nail what you need to order/do, I would check what your current bottleneck is by monitoring Task Manager/Resource Monitor or another 3rd party hardware monitoring software while you have as many clients open as possible

That's just bad advice tbh
Windows 10 supports ends on October 14, 2025

So no more security update after that
To play D2R still gotta connect to the internet even if playing offline or whatever

But I guess if u wanna keep an insecure machine on the same network as every other devices u be using then yea, just do that lmao
:bonk:

Or you know... It's never too late to ditch the proprietary bullshit psyop that is windows lmao
You'll even have better gaming performances with Linux than Windows

Pretty obvious I meant try Windows 10 on a separate partition as a troubleshooting method and not completely migrate everything lol

I think we both know that's not what u meant and only saying that now to save face or whatever lol

Seen u around on some of the threads just trying to feed your sunk cost fallacy thing
That u wasted that much time in your life not learning about better technologies
That even the workplace u been working at are a bunch of "yes men" that never spoke out or got any shit down themselves regarding how inefficient and stupid financially it is for them to run their business that way

Being like VMware has a predatory price model but that's what yall be using over there :rofl:
Meanwhile free and opensource solutions such has KVM is literally free and been running the whole internet securely enough for years as amazon AWS been using those free and opensource solutions for years, before moving to their own custom made thing or whatever

And yall been wasting resources on running whole full sized VMs for single applications for "compatibility reasons" while could do it with less overhead without the bloat of running a whole OS for those :rofl:

Sorry to say but even your workplace is dealing with that stupid sunk cost fallacy
That they still rather waste $ on paid software
(while there's better free and opensource solutions out there)
And waste CPU cycles, RAM usage, electricity consumption and so on rather than actually move to proven better, more secure, more performant and more efficient technologies that are actually free and opensource

You became so complacent that now even with that windows 10 End of Life thing u still rather push for shady closed source softwares rather than providing actual useful resources regarding how to use technologies that are actually empowering the users (and are better even for video gaming anyways)

But nah, u rather keep lying regarding outdated concepts like "oh linux cant play the videogames" while it can play the videogames better than on windows actually :rofl:

Sounds more like you’ve developed a vendetta against me after you were suspended. That explains your attempts to “one up” me despite it not making sense(like when you recommended building a VM with pfsense and to setup routing rules for a user that doesn’t know how the internet gets to his house :rofl: ) and your increasingly unhinged assumptions about me :p

Not sure why but for some reason you think I hate Linux? Then again it seems you fail to take context into account pretty often. In our previous thread I simply said if he was having problems running powershell scripts then I wouldn’t recommend Linux because that’d be an obvious nightmare. Stating Windows is popular because they’re mainstream and streamlined is also just a fact. That doesn’t mean I think Windows is the only OS that should be around :rofl:

Nah, this very very thread right here was dead but you only replied to it after I did, your theory dont hold up

People can learn
I linked a 8 parts indepth guide that even if someone dont know wtf about anything, they can still learn that those things exist
And there's enough youtube videos out there could follow along to set that up smoothly even without having the technical knowledge to do so
And those are actually better solutions regardless

Windows doesnt have a reason to be in 2025, not even for video gaming
The statement that got me the 15mins temp ban or whatever still stands

anyways, get good noob
u got outplayed, as somehow I have more knowledges about the technologies you and your workplace be using
meanwhile you have no clue about the better alternatives I been providing resources for

not saying you're "dumb" or whatever btw, saying you're a "dumbass" dont mean that
u just became complacent and wasted your life and your potential is all
like I said, it's never too late
