The "Every Penny Counts" Gaming PC Build
1,636So we put together a great PC build, but it's still out of your budget. How do we cut things back efficiently? ERROR: In the Ratchet and Clank benchmark I disabled "upscaling" but it looks like there is a separate "dynamic resolution scaling" option that I forgot to disable.
