    It is more out of interest to see what kind pf PCs other players are running. You can ask them what sort of performance they get with that PC if u are wanting comparisons.
    It is also useful when u are having computer problems when u ask questions as the experts can see what PC u are talking about.
    System specs:
    Gaming laptop: Metabox P750ZM, CPU Intel i7-4790K @ 4GHz, GTX 980m with 8Gb DDR5 VRAM, 16Gb Dual channel DDR3 RAM, 2 x Samsung EVO 840 500Gb SSDs, Win10 Home 64bit.

    Gaming PC: MSI PRO Z690 WIFI DDR5 mobo, Intel i5 12600KF cpu, 32Gb Corsair DDR5 5200Mhz RAM, Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M2 SSD, Corsair 850w psu, MSI RTX 3070 8GB vram vid card, Windows 10 Home 64bit.

    I'm partly responsible. As amateur and sometimes professional tech-geeks, we frequently offer advice to players when they submit posts about CLoD and related systems. I found that a technical response almost always requires some background information, so I suggested listing system specs in the signature block. It just saves time asking the obvious questions.

    It also helps me find answers when I have a question about my own setup when there's someone already using identical hardware. It's like having "Corporate memory", available.

    Personal background info like age and hometown in your forum user profile is also very helpful to responders when tailoring an answer to a question. People of similar backgrounds tend to support each other.

    ...It's not like we're asking for your credit card numbers...

    Now that I've spent all this time answering a banned OP, I feel soo dumb!
