I'm using a Raspberry Pi. I bet those specs are worse than yours! Kuddos for the community.
Pi5 8Gb. If you're going to use it as a daily driver I'd recommend this one. You may also compress ram with rpi-swap/zram, which will help you fit more things into that 8Gb at the expense of some CPU cycles.
That's interesting; I didn't know it could do that. Looking around the Pi forums, it looks like it's reasonably playable at lower resolutions unless there's a lot happening on the screen. Though with an eGPU it appears it can be played well at 4K. For those who come after me, here's a link to building dhewm3 (doom) on the Pi: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/...
As a patient gamer, I'm here for it!
The need for this community is only going to increase in the foreseeable future
Hi! I have a Ryzen 7 7700X with integrated Radeon graphics. Amy ideas for what I could do with it? No GPU of course!
Hi! My low-spec gaming rig is primarily a product of: 1) cheapness frugality where I want most of the same PC to last 6-10 years, 2) not upgrading my GPU because the whole situation with 3070 GPUs, and 3) not being too much into gaming, except for Cities Skylines, American Truck Simulator, and MSFS2020.
Cities Skylines is more CPU intensive, so my few-years old Ryzen can handle that. I'm sure ATS and MSFS2020 could look better, but ultimately I get more value out of the feel of the gaming wheel and joystick than what I can see on-screen. To each their own.
My system is not really low spec…. But most of my favorite games fall into that category, so I hope y’all will take me in!
well well well...
I'll run Shadow of the Tomb Raider on a 2400G at 480p bro
I'll effing... effing... bro I run Helldivers 2 on my walmart laptop instead of my 7600 because I like the pixels bro, i savor the low effects setting bro
bro I stay up til dawn fascinated with the performance of Pillars of Eternity on a 3700U from 2019 bro, I don't give two craps skewered on a crampon
i ran Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines on a Direct X 9.0b Pentium 4 Laptop that crashed every 20 minutes bro, i am the lowest spec
thanks for using Leebra!

Good idea for a community, especially since prices of hardware have gone crazy, and a lot of us are going to be making do with what we have for a while.
I don't know how low is "low", but I'm gaming on a 1070, which is still going strong with some relatively new games at 1080p.
