Welcome to the forum :)
thank you for having me. unreal tournament 2004 is one of my favorite games, and definitely my favorite FPS. i was never very active in the multiplayer scene, but i had a few good matches every now and then.

Yay! Welcome.
You must have a really awful ping to the server. Is it even remotely playable?
Wow cool, I've never seen an Australian player here!
Do you play vctf or freon?
Welcome aboard

haha, i played single-player games for years out of spite :D mostly played with bots for the last 10 years or so on and off, but i've been meaning to get back into playing with other players.

will do! i'm actually working on a hardcore programming/gaming PC build at the moment, still collecting parts for it. i've got most of the components ready, just need a GPU and a cooler.

Here's a pic I took of the CPU the day it arrived. not sure if i have any other pics!

That's a nice config! You will need a good gpu to go with this. Which GPU is in your mind?

good question! i have been going back and forth between the Radeon 6900 XT vs a 3080. leaning towards the 3080 because it works better with Blender. i'm not really concerned with the bleeding edge of tech hence why i'm not waiting to get the next generation of cards, but waiting until they drop makes it more likely that i can get a better deal for a current-gen card.

At that price point i would go for 3080Ti which is around 25-30% faster than RX 6900 XT
Depends on what the pricing is at your side, here its almost same for both
Can't speak for the 6900XT but I'm running a 3080Ti here and it's an absolute beast.

Fantastic! looks like i know what i'll be looking for then. it's such a relief to see how much prices have fallen for GPUs recently. thanks very much! it will also be a lot of fun to run UT2004 with more modern luxuries like widescreen support.

You're very lucky! Mine was a necessary purchase for a work machine (gaming too!) and had to pay full whack right in the middle of the shortage :/
Running 6500XT(4GB) and it's one of the GPUs ever made
What's the missing adjective from your post?
Running a 6600 8 gig here (couldn't really justify spending £600-£800 on a gpu - though I was very tempted) twice as powerful as my old ATi 570, as expected.
Ryzen 5 5600x here and the x570 chipset is really good noticeably better than my missus' board a couple of gens back. The m2 drives are stupidly quick, they're ace.

Both the server and my home PC are using 5600x's. They're really nice CPU's.

I have no more words, nothing missing
This card is a GPU

oof that's rough :/ that's a beefy GPU for work! i saw that the prices had dropped a few months ago and almost pressed 'purchase' on a 3080 but stopped myself at the last second, lol.

that's a pretty sweet setup. i'm a newcomer to ryzen but i wanted to give it a try. my previous machine was godawful, a prebuilt sold to me under the guise of a 'gaming' machine. i'm excited to use m.2s in mine. my old PC had an HDD that was hideously slow.

For anyone that has a Ryzen and if you want some tips for reducing system latency, send me a message on Discord
the 3080ti is still nearly the cost of my full PC. =D
