Honestly, this is the game I built this gaming PC for in the first place. It runs without any issues, and it looks gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"809\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/static.the-world-star.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06102659\/wp-17202292171775549307850629089893.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.the-world-star.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06102659\/wp-17202292171775549307850629089893.jpg 809w, https:\/\/static.the-world-star.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06102659\/wp-17202292171775549307850629089893-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.the-world-star.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/06102659\/wp-17202292171775549307850629089893-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using my Xperia 5 II\u2014which I've previously used with PSP emulators for past portable Monster Hunter titles\u2014along with a gamepad and the Steam Link app, I can play Monster Hunter World: Iceborne on my phone just like a Switch. Of course, I can play it on the TV too. It's amazing. It's just like a Switch. Since I've spent so much time playing Monster Hunter Rise and Generations Ultimate on the Switch Lite, getting used to the Switch Lite makes playing on a monitor tiring, so this is the ideal setup. Plus, I don't even need to buy the PC monitor I thought I had to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u6fc0\u5b89\u30b2\u30fc\u30df\u30f3\u30b0PC\u4f5c\u6210\u3001Android\u30b9\u30de\u30db\u306eSteamLink\u3067Switch\u307f\u305f\u3044\u306b\u904a\u3079\u308b\u3002\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zps_dnxgAx4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the PC itself, it's a retired lease unit of the Fujitsu ESPRIMO D588\/VW with an i3-8100, which are heavily listed on Yahoo! Auctions. I won the auction with a single bid and no competition for 7,700 yen (6,600 yen plus 1,100 yen shipping), and paired it with a GTX 1050 TI (LP, though it didn't need to be) that I found marked down at Hard Off for 2,200 yen for the card itself. For 9,900 yen, I basically built a PS4-class machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding winning the PC body, I was originally eyeing the previous-generation D587, but for some reason, the same person kept outbidding me, and I figured it would just stress me out, so I moved on. As a result, finding out that 7th-gen CPUs aren't supported by Windows 11 convinced me I should get an 8th-gen model instead, which led me to grab the D588.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the way, this unit came with a hard drive instead of an SSD. I figured I could just buy one later, but after bidding, I realized it's much more efficient to choose a unit with an SSD from the start. Unable to tolerate the slowness of the hard drive, I immediately swapped it out for a 256GB SSD (2,500 yen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, with just 256GB, installing about three games fills it right up. I might need to keep less-played games installed on a hard drive and only move them to the SSD when I'm actively playing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the CPU, I really would have preferred something like an i5, but I figured I could upgrade that later too. I've been monitoring prices since, and an i5 system seems to run around 10,000 yen for the whole PC set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CPUs on their own go for around 6,000 to 7,000 yen on Yahoo! Auctions since fewer people replace just the CPU, and I often see them sitting without buyers. The sweet spot is when a seller finally gives up and lists one at a bargain price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing with the performance tests: I downloaded the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak demo and ran it.
