New gaming rig
 

Upgrading to the Alienware Area 51M laptop for other games and general productivity.

i9 9900k (8 core)
32GB RAM
970 Plus 1TB NVMe
RTX 2080

Clearly overbuilt for p99, but just curious if I may run into any troubles running the game. Some say that the processor needs to be dialed back to run off one or two cores. Some say it doesn't matter.

EQ won’t run if the GPU is > 4.2 ghz

9900 is 3.6 and can be o/c to 5.0 so should be good. thanks for the feedback, argh.

That’s really the only issue you’ll run into (I think). The multi core affinity thing is an easy fix.

Might almost be able to handle the dynamic lighting!

Do you mean CPU?

Yes

Okay, because I run a hex core at 4.6 with no issues.

Nice build! I went with the AMD route, 3950x and much simillar specs. Absolutely love it. My system is more for 3D workflows though, and sadly won't be gaming much. You're going to love that thing when you get rolling on it!

To be fair, so is your cell phone :D

I'd have a better investment with Ray Ban :cool:
