Hey all

I play poker as my primary source of income now. The past 8 months I've used GTO Wizard on a monthly basis. I almost bought a year outright and then thought of all the computer parts I could buy for the same price or similar, so I decided to get good with GTO+.

I've bought and installed 128GB of RAM, so that part is about as good as it's going to get. I notice that if I let every parameter I can think of as nice to have run at the same time (allow donking, optional shove at x < %325, 3 sizes per street, 2 xr sizes, etc) then the solve gets to like 61GB of RAM needed. Of course I can simplify a bit, but keep in mind... this pretty much needs to work just as well as GTO Wizard for me or I should just pay the sub fee. When the Sim is at this level of complexity, it takes a long long long time to solve w i5 cpu at max capacity. Is a major upgrade going to cut this time by 66%+, or no?

I'm wondering 1) is there a kind of CPU that is best or better suited for Sims specifically 2) Besides RAM and CPU, am I missing any other form of Hardware upgrade that would be nice for Sims?

Also, does anyone have cautionary tales about letting their solver run for 8 hours straight? I'm worried about my computer overheating unchecked at night, even w multiple fans.


I am very technologically challenged so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have an extra 3970x CPU if someone needs. Also 258gb ram and a motherboard. I upgraded to a 3990x but the 3970x is very similar in performance. If anyone is looking to build I would sell these cheap
