Pretty much anything can run C&C Renegade, so this isn't so much a topic of performance.
I kinda fell out of gaming over the last decade, becoming more of a casual/dip into the old games every now and then kinda guy. As a result, I've never played modern games and the most system-intensive game I probably played was Team Fortress 2 etc. The PC I have is a mini desktop I chose mainly to play Jackbox Party games on... it's from 2018 and the integrated graphics card + nvme SSD are perfectly sufficient for Renegade.
But then I got thinking. My monitor is 1920x1080 at 60hz, perhaps I could upgrade that, get a super high refresh rate and bask in 240hz glory.
My mini desktop doesn't support anything higher than 60hz, so I'd need to build a PC with a GPU that does. But any GPU I buy these days will surely be overkill for Renegade, right? I wonder what's the earliest GPU that does ultra-high refresh rates...
What resolutions are you guys running?
Does anyone play on a superwide?

I just run a budget gaming laptop, 15.1" 1080p 60FPS screen, the resolution I run on for renegade is quite low as I find reading the HUD pretty important. anywhere between 1280x720 and 1600x900. But i've been experimenting with the new render scales on 1920x1080. With the new scripts out I'll try that again and see if the fonts become more readable!
Professional moron. Nice to meet ya.

Patient gaming is the best gaming
JeradMy primary screen is 170hz, my laptop screen is 240hz and I do have a gaming laptop with 300hz. With that said, my ability to see a difference between 144hz and 240 is pretty much 0. 60hz to 144hz however is massive.
I tried overclocking my monitor from 60hz to 75hz once (by configuring custom timings). It worked, but I could not see or feel any difference whatsoever.
Meanwhile 144Hz vs 60Hz feels like night and day. I love have having a higher refresh rate, everything feels so much nicer.
Sadly however my main panel is a VA with bad ghosting in dark scenes, so in darker games (like HL1) it's a vomit smear until I turn the gamma up.
