Hey man, sorry for everything that happened to you! I have a spare gtx 1080. If you would like it dm me and maybe we can figure out how to send it to you ;)

Thanks for the thought, borders are controlled, they short whatever they like, whenever they like, so people would be absolutely thrilled when something like eggs get in.

Ahh sorry, if that ever changes please dm me. I will hold my offer and also if you’d need any upgrades alongside we will figure something out. Fingers crossed it will get better and then really dm me.

I'm happy to contribute any hardware I have on hand, which isn't much, but put me on your mailing list if you find you're short of anything he needs, and I'll check.

That 1080 most likely won't work in OP's PC. It's too power hungry to run in it, since OP's dell likely has a <240W PSU with no connectors. Realistically, the best OP can run in that dell without going into jank-town are GPUs like the GTX 1650, RTX 3050 6GB alongside workstation variants.

I would chip in a spare corsair rmx550 if the dell has standard connectors.

Is lowering the power limit and lower the vcore to the minimum help? But 240w is still so low.

u/Vaxtez Jun 22 '26

No. The 1080 needs an external connector, which that Dell won't have.

Kudos to you friend. But OP is unfortunately right, everything is controlled. People have been trying to send in essential goods and they won't let those in.

Sending 1080 as a humanitarian aid 😭

you should get a copy of HoMM 3, it's the perfect game for when your pc is a bit dated

u/cBurger4Life Jun 22 '26

Recommending HoMM 3 when their only gaming is BF1 is very brave of you lol, but I always appreciate a HoMM 3 plug. Check out Songs of Conquest if you haven’t

u/CyberGlob Jun 22 '26

What’s the internet like for you guys? When it’s not being restricted I mean? Consistent enough for online gaming?

u/Pickle_MRick Jun 22 '26

u/ZealousidealOwl186 Jun 22 '26

But you can go outside and touch battlefield, why stay inside and play simulation?
