Radeon R7 350x 4GB - i7 4770 8gb

I have bought a cheap ass old PC with a i7 4770 8gb and win11 on a too good to be true sale and a used chinese R7 350x 4gb GPU intending to use them for emulation on a CRT TV rig, it results that the sale was actually too good to be true as the motherboard is unable to access the BIOS and overall shitty, and I still don't even know if the GPU is even working as it won't give any image (but the PSU has incredibles 250w and the BIOS gives me no image either, so I wouldn't give it as broken for now)

If I buy a functional MoBo, what could I run with that? I was mostly wanting to emulate PS3/Xbox 360 and playing some PS4 era games as the last console I had was a 360 and had no PC neither. But if I could run something released on the current decade that would be pretty cool too

I also ended up buying a projector on another sale lol, so I will use only that for a while, my end goal now is creating a dual screen Arch Linux rig with the projector, a 15hz CRT TV and a 2000s Phillips Home Theater with no optical input and only supports Dolby Pro Logic II or older, which I friend of mine wants to get rid of for very cheap as is sitting on a cellar occupying space for god knows how many years

I am also thinking of maybe buying one 8gb memory with the MoBo, as I'm a little short on money I can't afford 2 and 12gb RAM should be better than 8gb

God, I need to stop buying junk lol

Colossus still has potential I swear

I've got an ancient, heavy PC that I call "Colossus" it's big, it's loud and it weighs 27kg's. But it's all I got right now. Specs are as follows:

CPU. Intel(R) Xeon(R) X5570 @ 2.93GHz

Installed RAM. 24,0 GB DDR3

Graphics Card. NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT (992 MB)

System Type. 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Dell T7500 Case and PSU

Main storage Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120GB

Secondary 3TB HDD

OS. Windows 10 pro

What games could I play using this?

I could only add one flair at a time, but what GPU would you choose to revive ol Colossus?

Would something like a RX470 or similar be a good choice? Obviously anything modern or recent would just bottleneck the entire computer.

Bad performance of Smushi Come Home on dual core CPU, integrated GPU

I bought the game for my i3 1005g1, 8 gb RAM, Windows 11 because its a low poly game like A Short Hike, Haven Park.

Smushi Come Home ran beautifully at 30-45 fps at 720p high settings in the dense forest areas.

But as soon as I entered Crystal Caverns (the first cave area), fps dropped to 21-23 with 90% CPU usage, and highly erratic frame time graph with lots of closely spaced severe spikes and dips.

So if the game runs well for you in the outdoor dense forest area, its a deception. The game will run significantly worse in caves. And when I reduced shadows to medium, I got 40-45 fps in the cave, but I lost a lot in visual quality because shadows became severely low detailed. It looks like medium shadows are more aggressively downgraded from high, than they should have been.

Not recommended for intel hd, uhd, vega 3 graphics. Only buy if you have atleast intel iris xe (64 EUs or higher), vega 7/8 graphics with a modern quad core CPU.

Gameplay wise, the game has nice relaxing music, cute player, funny dialogues, enjoyable side activities, beautiful low poly graphics.

how much VRAM should I allocate to my iGPU?

I have a question.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600GT with only one 8GB RAM stick right now. I couldn’t afford another stick yet, but I’ll add one after a few days.

So, the thing is, how much VRAM should I allocate to my iGPU?

Should I set it to 2GB? Because that would reduce my available system RAM, which is already limited. Would that cause any problems?

Or should I set it to 1GB? Or should I just leave it at the default 512MB?

For now, I’ll just play the games that are actually playable with a single RAM stick.

Looking for game recommendations under ₹500 during the Steam sale

​

Hey guys! The Steam sale is going on and I’m planning to buy 1–2 games under ₹500 each.

My laptop specs:

- ASUS TUF Gaming F16

- RTX 3050 6GB

- Intel Core 5

- 16GB RAM

- 512GB SSD

I’m open to any genre — single-player, multiplayer, story-driven, open-world, RPG, FPS, etc.

I’m mainly looking for games that are actually worth buying at the current sale price, have good gameplay/story, and can make decent use of my laptop.

I don't have a huge Steam library yet, so feel free to recommend hidden gems as well.

What games would you guys recommend under ₹500 right now?

If you had ₹500–₹1,000 to spend during this sale, which 1–2 games would you pick? 👀

Thanks!
