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.

Yes they do, and in several comments lol

It definitely does not mention in the post that the machine they're asking about runs Debian. I don't see where in the comments either, could you provide some direct quotes to back up what you're saying?

Just use your eyes

LOL there's a reason you can't provide anything to back up what you're saying

Since this is the Linux gaming sub, you would kinda be expected to notice the Proton in the GPU driver field in the OP. It's also kinda safe to assume someone posting in Linux gaming is talking about, well, Linux gaming.

If only that were so. Unfortunately, I've learned from experience that this is not the case.

You think I'm going to engage with such a stupid and obviously incorrect argument? I'm not going to.

You're a grown up, you can read, and that's what is required in order to participate in the discussion.

EDIT: loool they went through and downvoted all of my comments, including ones unrelated to this chain. All because they made a mistake and got corrected. Fragile.
