Likewise. 3950 cpu, 32gb ram, 2080 GPU. This runs everything 1440p just fine.
The system was built 6 years ago but things just haven't moved fast in hardware. It doesn't have a TPM 2.0 module though so no Windows 11. One nice thing about that fact is that i never get the upgrade nags since it fails compatibility checks.
Part of me is hoping we get some third party OS patches if anything major crops up. This has happened for previous versions of Windows.
I plan to continue running this as-is past October 14. If something serious enough does crop up with no third party mitigations or fixes I'll move to Linux. I could technically install a TPM 2.0 module on the motherboard but i don't want to. Not enough benefit to me as someone that's never installed malware (I'm extremely cautious about what i allow to run on it to the extent of not running various binary distributed game mods).
Not a fair comparison. Hardware security device has nothing to do with general compute power. It's like saying "What do you mean 'my Ferrari is not a good firetruck'??? It can go 0 to 100 in 4 seconds!"
