Any other older Sons of Bitches trying to keep up with PC gaming like me?

    Card at 70% load with fan at 30% is pretty good. Your not running SLI, and have enough airflow through your case? Witcher 3 is a very demanding game, you "might" have to reduce some of the settings, I'm not sure, I game at 4K. But the witcher 3 is one - if not the BEST game i've played, I loved all the witcher series but witcher 3 is the best, I've put over 400 hours into it - when I'm supposed to be doing university assignments!!! Deus Ex MD I don't think is any more challenging than the witcher 3 - graphics wise.

    Ambient temperature makes a big difference, so if it's hot and you have a/c run it at around 21 degrees, this will reduce the heat dramatically, or get a better case with more room and better airflow - more fans.

    Some peoples bodies are older than their biological age I guess. Or aren't as lucky as some, genetically.

    In my 40s and no problems gaming. I'm also the VR liaison at my job and that doesn't bother me either. I think most of it revolves around regular exposure unless you truly get motion sickness from gaming. In this case sometimes changing the fov as previously mentioned or removing head bob can help.

    I am 41 and the games that give me problems are the ones that have view bobbing so that is usually the first thing i look for to turn off if i feel that way.

    I'm 44 and regularly play games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, Witcher 3, Rottr and Ghost Recon Wildlands etc. Having a 15 y/o son who also like playing games help with coop games or fast shooting games. (I'm not good that good at fast paced games though).
    Jumping off a high cliff or something with Fallout 4 or Skyrim makes me somewhat dizzy, I somehow feel it in my legs. Other then that I'm fine and I'll probably play games way past my 60s.

    I'm hoping to keep playing games until my heart stops working.

    I am 37 years of age and don't have any issues playing games. Ever since Doom came out back in the 90's, been building systems and playing games ever since.

    That's the main thing that's affecting me. I just don't have the reflexes like I used to have in twitch shooters like UT, Quake, etc. That's probably why I sucked so bad in the COD WW2 beta, the maps were too small and cramped for me.

    No not while standing. But by your own hand rumble in your bronx.
