I have a 2nd gen I5 and a 3070. Great combo. It was my brother’s old system and I hadn’t had a desktop in 10 years, so I added the video card… guess I’ll be upgrading sometime soon!
I have to admit, I’m a little surprised someone has a machine that doesn’t support UEFI, because the board I bought in 2012 had UEFI support… 11 years puts most machines into barely being usable in Windows.
While it’s a valid reason, guy has to be working with either some really old or very specific hardware.
The partition is there. It’s just that Windows overwrites the MBR as if no other operating systems could possibly exist.
It’s 2023, Linux has great UEFI support, there is no reason to be using MBR over GPT.
My system doesn’t have UEFI support, so there’s that.
What? How old is your motherboard?

Jesus, do your video card’s fans even come on?
Nope. The only time the GPU gets over 40-50% is when rendering AI images.
Bruh that bottleneck must be insane
Yeah, games are CPU bound to say the least.
What
I am genuinely impressed.
Is that a 2500k by any chance?
2400
Valid reason, then.

its not that weird considering the cult-like appreciation of old thinkpads
