I’ve got 32GB RAM and an RTX 3080 I’m borrowing long term. Normally I just play Rocket League, some Deadlock, and good single player games (ie not formulaic yearly-released).
When you say classic, you just mean the non-Steam version, right?
Does the steam version use multi threading? I thought one of the reasons why DF (OG, which I guess is what you mean by DF:C) was so intensive is it only used one core.
Looks like multithreading is still experimental in the current Steam version, and has to be manually turned on in d_init.txt…
Which feels weird. I was playing classic right up until the steam EA release, and it feels like New DF doesn’t slog my pc as bad as classic. Same hardware.

Beat me to it. Dwarf Fortress is always my first port of call when people seem to get mixed up with graphics, computing power, and gameplay.
DF:C is really good for it too, will bring a top tier pc to it’s knees with all the heavy math it wants done.
