@Musicman It's a... dammit, I can't remember the brand. It's got an AMD Ryzen 5 5600 in it with 16GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive

@KiwiDan do you know what GPU and PSU you have? And by hard drive, do you mean a mechanical disk drive (HDD) or a solid state (SSD)? Ryzen 5 5600 isn't really low end, but it's not really mid range anymore either

@uikakarotuevegeta So how good is his computer?

@Musicman until i know the other specs, I can only assume it's lower mid range

@uikakarotuevegeta It's a 1TB SSD, Nvidia Geforce RTX 3050, I don't know what a PSU is

@KiwiDan ah ok, then that's good (even if it's SATA instead of NVME SSD)

Yeah RTX 3050 is kind of low end now, but with DLSS it shouldn't be too much of an issue. You got the 8GB variant right? Nvidia released 6GB and 8GB for desktop, with the 6GB I think also having overall lower specs.

PSU is the power supply, with the specs that matter for that being the amount of watts and its efficiency rating (measured in terms of metal tiers)
