Can't even achieve stable 60 fps anymore. What a hunk of junk. /s

Since this isn't really Linux-specific....EDIT: [I use] Debian btw?

Look, I'm not about to suggest the 4790K is the best CPU for the money today, but if you bought one way back in '14 and upgraded around it over time, you're still doing alright. This is still at stock clock. Been meaning to OC it. I previously ran an R9 290 until my wife surprised me with the 4070 for my birthday a couple years ago.

Great CPU then. Still pretty good today. Maybe I'll still give it a few years before I upgrade.

I actually dug in my BIOS and found a very old profile that I saved. So now I'm running at 4.7 GHz. I forgot I saved that. It does make her toasty though. But hey, who cares? These aren't rare. Replacement cost is 50-70 bucks. Suppose I can swing that if I roast it to death lol

I mght have to play with RAM speeds. I unlocked the frame rate and was hitting 110 max. My TV only runs at 60 Hz so that's where I'm leaving it. Still, the minimum was up to like 53 from 48. So it was still worth it.

I guess I didn't get it across that I do already run Debian lol I love my Debian. It's outdated, as is my '97 Honda. But like my '97 Honda, it just works every time. And I do use KDE. :) Ran GNOME for a long time and finally made the jump earlier this year. My customizations make it look and feel a lot like GNOME (because I really liked GNOME a lot), but with extra customizations that GNOME just wouldn't let me do ootb. I like it so much. It doesn't feel like Mac. It doesn't feel like Windows. It's totally its own thing. I love that.
