A beast of a machine for less than its parts would have cost me to buy individually, what with all the GPU scalpers still taking advantage of the pandemic, the computer from which I type these words absolutely crushes Cyberpunk 2077, even on max settings. I had planned to, but instead, I bought a pre-built MSI MEG Triton X from Amazon, with specs in that link. Now, I must admit something rather embarrassing.
The poor machine was struggling to run most games that came out later than the year in which I bought my first gaming PC, even those not made by CD Projekt Red. More relevantly, I was lucky if I could maintain a steady 30 FPS in Valorant. And either way, that error cost me another sixty-ish dollars (which I’m adding to my secret total of dollars I’ve spent on skins because it was part of playing this game), to get another processor (which I installed myself, albeit with some difficulty) that was compatible with both Valorant and my motherboard.Īnyway, at some point, I played Cyberpunk 2077 on the gutted old PC, in a new case, with these new parts, and the thing was a slideshow despite supposedly meeting the minimum requirements. Well, granted, they may have fixed it in the short time that I wouldn’t have known about it. That is apparently an issue Riot have known about for more than a year but has shown no signs of fixing.

When briefly playing the game with that “new” AMD A-Series, I was constantly getting Error Code 138. The processor which I replaced the original with was, to my dismay, not compatible with Valorant. It would get me a good 60 FPS in Valorant for a while there, but eventually, a motherboard problem led me to invest in some slightly newer (but unfortunately slightly worse) parts. It served me well over the years, playing old titles with the best of them and usually being able to run newer titles, at least on Low settings.

See, my old PC was one built by a friend and sold to me for cheap way back in 2014, when he upgraded to a new rig. However, I can speak from recent experiences to the fact that it’s not a catch-all solution to one’s first-person shooter woes.
With more frames of animation in every second, you will have an overall smoother experience and effectively more visual cues to react to. Having higher specs and therefore better performance than the competition gives one an undeniable advantage. The genre for which low latency and high framerates are of the utmost importance is the first-person shooter. By Connor McNeil in Valorant | Aug, 3rd 2021
