Default 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.

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

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

I'd have a better investment with Ray Ban [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is there no fix for this? I just came back to P99 and I cannot get above about 40FPS....
