I don't usually start these kind of Seinfeld-like threads, but when I do... it has to be related to hardware.

I remember tinyE mentioned, at some point, on some distant thread in a galaxy far far away, that he just got a new, cutting-edge gaming rig (or something of the sort - I don't guarantee these were his exact words) on which he's now playing some ancient Egyptian games.

Mind you, I don't crawl all the threads on the forum, but the ones I have been on did not mention any specs... and I'm more curious than a cat with 8 remaining lives about these kind of things.

So, anyone care to enlighten us? :) Perhaps the man himself?

Edit: For the curious but too tired to scroll down types, here are the specs tinyE has gracefully shared with us:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600K CPU @ 3.80GHz

tinyE: what?

Everything. Nothing but the full specs will appease us hardware demons, you should know that by now :P.

Can't say I'm that bored, just more curious than your average Joe about these kind of things.

how do I post the full specs?

Really it's just a good computer with a really good graphics card. For me that is amazing but all things are relative. I don't know if it would even rank middle of the road with the rest of the people in here.

Oh man. Tell you what, you flip it, read the name/model on the label and post it here - I'll look it up for you and tell you if it's any good :P.

If it has no labels anywhere check the box, manual, anything.

isn't there another way I can tell you the card?

Basically, instead of having to download his games via carrier pigeon, he now does so via Pony Express.

I'm actually being throttled by my ISP right now. :P Been downloading SR 4 for the last 3 hours at 500kb a second.

You're using Windows, right? You should be able to just search "system information" in the start menu search bar/Cortana button.

This neat little piece of software is what I usually use when I can't get under the hood for various reasons (warranty, stuff's rather inaccessible etc). It will tell you everything about your build.

Uhhhh... ahhhh... good one indeed :). You do know you can play virtually anything on that GPU as long as you stay under 4K, right?

So you couldn't privately message tinye to ask him that question ? Isn't that more logical ?

You had to create a thread in the forum to ask one person a question?

Pathetic reason to start a thread and very stupid of OP.
