But what am I going to do with the MB I've been saving all these years with an AGP slot? AGP is going to make a comeback any day now, right?

LOL :D

MX300 525 is on par with MX200 256 (but with more capacity). It is a decent/honest SSD, I can reassure you

1050 Ti https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_1050_Ti_Strix_OC/ up&running here   DO NOT push over 1920x1080 and it's a great medium card (for now). I say so cause I set Mirror's Edge Cata

I just bought a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB and given your CPU that may well be a starting point as anything much more powerful may be CPU limited in games You can get those for under £300

The fps increase is incredible. I'm increased the quality to full of most of my games to max and still no lag whatsoever. :D

 

The GeForce 1060 is a beast @1920x0180.

Where do I start? What should I do first?

I'll be installing the SSD as a secondary drive?

Yes as long as the motherboard bios can see it, so will Windows and any of the above migration tools.

 

Once you have booted into windows, run the migration tool. I recommend Acronis(via the Crucial promo link above) as its the only one of the above 3 I have personally used. Then just follow thier instructions

I say so cause I set Mirror's Edge Catalyst to (1920x1080)x4 - there's a convenient slider in options menu to simulate SSAA 4x - and that resolution is a real FPS killer :P

About the 1050 Ti / 1060 choice, this is the memory overclocked (2000 MHz QDR) 1050 Ti in MEC @1920x1080 with 1.50 scaling (!!!) / Ultra Preset / no PostProcessing AA (manually disabled in the config file):

36 FPS

Nice shiny and antialiased view, I'm happy :D

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
