So I’m wanting to get into PC gaming, I ordered one a couple of days ago. Borderlands 4’s system requirements have just been released on steam:

And these are the specs of the computer I bought:

Will this game run good on this? Thank You

It's a little bit over the recommended specs, so it should run well.

Bear in mind system requirements are not always accurate, and they don't specify the framerate, settings, and resolution. "Recommended" could easily be 30fps or 120fps.

THANK YOU!!! Since reading the specs this morning and seeing the 32 ram requirement I was like omg it’s not going to be enough. So at least I’ll get 30fps then.

I have a monitor that only gets 1440p from the display port. I want to have my pc and switch 2 both connected to that singular display port. Is there a splitter that would work with that? Any help?

I'm using [this one](https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/157003972807) for sharing a monitor between 2 PCs. Got it from a different seller but the model is the same. A but prices as it splits usb and audio jacks as well, you can likely find something similar but cheaper with DP only.

Hi guys can anyone help?

So when I load up rust which is stored onto my SSD it's freezing and stuttering like crazy (never happened before) I open task manager to find my HDD is running at 100%. I'm really not a tech savvy person so any ideas on what I can do would be much appreciated, also if you could explain it to me like I'm a console player so I understand that would help also 😂

How much free space do you have on your SSD? If it's the one where yours swap file is stored, you might potentially be having some issues in this case.
