That's very impressive for that price, though I am highly skeptical of those framerates since my PC has better specs and doesn't get that without some serious compromises in settings. How are you getting a Windows Pro license for $19? I use linux 99% of the time, but I'd love to have a pro license on the cheap.

It depends on the title. Obviously it'll run terraria at 4k but Cyberpunk obviously won't. Consoles do the same thing though and just lower the resolution for difficult titles.

Cyberpunk runs at something like 50-70 fps, if memory serves. It's high enough that it doesn't bother me, but it could be better for sure.

I am running that on very high settings, too. That's a game where you want everything way up. I don't know if I used the literal highest, but the hdr (after a lot of manual tinkering) looks fanatastic.

If you aren't going to use Win Pro for anything important, you could always run massgrave and unlock it for free.

They are very real framerates, I assure you. It really depends on the game, though. Most recently, Palworld has been flowing at around 70fps or higher, but I'm using the second highest settings, not the very highest.

I purchased the windows pro key off a third party website last Black Friday. I already had a license, and I just wanted the encryption! I just googled it, and ostensibly found another one for $35. They are a thing, oddly enough. Just be sure to research where you're buying it so you don't get scammed.
