Hey guys! a colleague has a dell optiplex 5090 (not micro)
the pc has an i5-10505, 16gb ddr4 and integrated graphics intel uhd graphics 630, 200w psu, we have the space of around 1 for a pci powered gpu but we can’t find anything that fits, any suggestions?
i wanted to add a picture but i cant
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1115G4 @ 3.00GHz
8GB RAM
Intel(R) UHD Graphics
My main workhorse PC has an i7 6700, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 500GB SATA SSD, and a 1TB HDD. All in a very small microATX case, only 28cm deep.
I have room for a dual-fan GTX 1060 6GB and an RX 570 4GB in an ITX form factor.
My gaming PC is a microATX tower in better condition than the first. It has an i5 8500 with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and an RX 6600 8GB. I use it like a gaming console for the most demanding games.
Here's the problem. Due to lack of space on my gaming PC (SSDs are very expensive now), I don't have room to install everything on my main gaming PC. So I finished Resident Evil Requiem on my primary PC and now I'm playing Forza Horizon 6.
Here are the problems. Resident Evil Requiem doesn't run smoothly with the GTX 1060. It's the same with the rest of the Nvidia 1000 and 900 series cards. I also experienced two crashes in the police station. But at least I was able to finish the game with the GTX 1060.
The problem with the 1000 series is that Nvidia stopped supporting them last November. If a game runs poorly, you're out of luck because Nvidia only releases drivers to fix security vulnerabilities. No game improvements.
At least when I tested it, AMD's RX 400 and 500 series cards performed better in this game than their Nvidia equivalents.
With Forza Horizon 6, it's even worse. The game runs quite well with the minimum requirements, which is a GTX 1650, judging from videos. But the same can't be said for the hardware in my main PC. With a GTX 1060, the game runs fairly well on medium settings. But it crashes every so often. It usually happens within minutes when you reach Tokyo. This happens to a lot of people with the GTX 1000 series, and even with the GTX 1080 Ti. They say this is fixed with the latest Nvidia drivers and is related to memory leaks. The fact is, there's no support for older Nvidia series, and the manufacturer warns that they don't provide support for those series. Only for those with Nvidia driver support.
Initially, the game wouldn't even start with my RX 570 because it requires at least DirectX 12.1, and older RX cards only support DirectX 12.0.
I found a fix online, and now the game works. However, it forced me to install a 2023 driver and open a file before launching the game, otherwise it wouldn't work. Even so, the game doesn't run perfectly on low settings and performs worse than a GTX 1650, which is supposedly inferior.
A couple of weeks ago, I asked if it was worth replacing these two cards and buying something similar with better support. I was told it would be a waste of money. But I see that's not the case. A consumer with the awful RX 6500 XT 4GB can play the game quite decently. On the other hand, someone with a 1080 Ti, which delivers high FPS, experiences crashes every few minutes with no magic solution.
I've passed up a few GTX 1660s thinking it was silly or because I didn't want to spend more money. But that was a mistake. Many people have older graphics cards and sometimes want to play modern games on them but can't. That's why you shouldn't dismiss the fact that older cards don't support certain technologies.
Heyo ya'll! I'm looking for a game where I completely control a civilisation, basically like I start from scratch and work my way up to like a type 2 civilisation or whatevernot lol.. and ofcourse, it also has to run on a low end pc. My specs are:
i5-7360u, Intel Iris 640 graphics, 8GB RAM
I'm wondering, what games can I run with this specs?
Specs:
CPU: AMD A8-7650K
Motherboard: MSI A68HM-E33 V2
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 iGPU, 1GB VRAM
RAM: 16GB DDR3. 1600MHz
Disk Space: 500GB HDD
OS: Windows 10 Professional (22H2)
I have a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3(?)
These are my specs:
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5500U with Radeon Graphics (2.10 GHz)
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (5.85 GB usable)
Graphics card AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (2 GB)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
The games I play are:
- Valorant
- Minecraft (w/ shaders)
- Life is Strange 1 and 2
- GTA V
- Watch Dogs 1 & 2
- Resident Evil 2 Remake
- Dying Light
I get like somewhere 40 to 80fps on these, though I usually lock it at 50fps. I put my settings in low graphics and resolution too (except for Valorant).
Because of my specs, I'm actually looking more into some old games these days, like GTA IV, the original Resident Evil games, or the Batman games before Arkham Knight. But considering that these games might already run well on my laptop, I'm thinking if getting a RAM upgrade is worth it and would help boost the performance of the games I'm playing and are planning to play, and also for when I get games that are slightly more recent?
I'll work to upgrade my current Intel HD 5500 laptop at the end of the year, and sadly it has to be a laptop because I have negative space to put a PC case. Yes, I'm just using the post to have an idea of what I should expect
Budget: below 800usd as I don't live in the US, so 800usd before shipment is a max amount, preferably try to get it as low as possible
Aim: I don't wanna make games look like state of the art movies, with playing newer titles at lowest or something and older ones at good configs I'm ok
I've seen a few laptops and I was thinking between Intel Arc 140v vs AMD Ryzen 5-7535HS / AMD Radeon RX 6550M vs something with a 3050
In the benchmarks I saw, a mobile 3050 6gb 35w performs very similar to the 140v, but idk about it. Also, the 6550m has only 4gb VRAM, so that's another point
Edit: I'll use a courier system to buy the laptop, btw
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz (1.80 GHz)
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.4 GB usable)
Graphics card Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (128 MB)
Storage 359 GB of 477 GB used
Device ID 3854B2D2-F35A-41F7-A58E-AA9FAFA2557C
Product ID 00330-54077-19278-AAOEM
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
These are the specs
so I got this laptop:
Intel Core i5-1334U
Intel UHD Graphics (integrated GPU)
8GB RAM
I just wanna know what other games I can run with it, the games I'm currently running on it is Witcher 3 (classic version), L.A noire, Project Zomboid, RimWorld, AC 4 Black flag, Farcry 3, Skyrim LE, Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen
Hey, everyone I have a lenevo IdeaPad 3 15ITL6 with these specs
CPU- intel core i5 1135g7 @4.2GHz
Gpu- intel iris xe graphic @128mb but has igpu
RAM -8gb soldered
OS- linux mint cinnamon
So it has been 4 years since I bought this laptop and It has a ram slot empty. I want to upgrade my ram but confused between which to buy 8gb or 4gb as rams are costly a 4gb is around 2500 INR to 3000INR and 8gb is 5500INR to 6000INR. So should I upgrade my laptop as I am thinking about buying a new one in 2-3 years and if yes which one should I buy (RAM) 4gb or 8gb
Hey everyone,
I’m planning to build a very budget-friendly gaming PC, and I’m wondering if the RTX 2060 is still a solid option in 2026.
I’ve been gaming on old office laptops pretty much my whole life, usually on the lowest settings with barely 60 FPS, so I don’t need ultra graphics or anything crazy. I’d already be happy with medium/low settings in newer games at around 80 FPS.
Most of the games I play are esports titles, so the hardware requirements generally aren’t that high.
Do you think the RTX 2060 is still worth buying for this kind of setup?
i just saw i7-6500HQ and 8 RAM with 2gb of graphics card on the market?i mainly wanna play nfs,gta v,maybe sonic frontiers
Xeon e3-1270v2
16gb ddr3
1050ti 4gb
250gb SSD
I built for $80 and hoping I can get some gaming performance
I have the new Dell Inspiron dc15250 laptop. It has Intel i3 14th gen, hd630, 8gb ram and 512gb ssd. Can it run the OG Crysis 1? On low settings or even medium?
It's a laptop, i know very little about pc gaming so i'd appreciate some help:
-Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 256V (2.20 GHz)
-RAM: 16.0 GB
-Graphic Card: Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (8GB) (128 MB)
Would like to know what games you'd guys recommend with this set up, and if something modern like RE:Requiem is possible at low settings. Thanks!
hi all!! I’m looking to buy a pc as a reward to myself for getting into college/university. Please be patient as I am not knowledgable at all about computers!
I’m not looking for something that would run cyberpunk smoothly or something, just one I can comfortably play popular games like val, ow, mc, fortnite, maybe even silent hill and red dead redemption but those aren’t necessary! (again, I know nothing about pcs)
I found this one which fits my budget on bedrock computers, but I know nothing about pcs and I’m not sure if this is good or not…

#Summary:
We are going to reduce the resolution to 800x600(or 1024x768) + lossless scaling to fix the aspect ratio and sharpness. It gives me a stable 30 fps fullscreen game with watchable graphics.
I'M NOT A MODDER, SO I CAN'T ADD CUSTOM TEXTURES N ALL.
#My specs :
Intel Core i3-1115G4 (11th Gen, 2 cores / 4 threads)
Intel UHD / Intel Xe Graphics
8 GB ram(1x8)
**IMPORTANT**: I'M USING A 16:9 MONITOR.
** Follow the steps below** :
**Step 1: in game settings** :-
•Make everything to lowest.
•Turn on performance mode.
•Turn on windowed mode (not fullscreen)
**Step 2: in file.ini settings** :-
Documents\My Games\NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139\
Then inside, open UserProfiles folder, then the .ini file inside.
Open with notepad.
Change the width and height to 800 and 600. (or 1024x768).
[**∆ additional notes**: I have tried other resolutions but the game doesn't recognise them. The only workable i found are these 2 and i won't recommend going more below form 800x600]
**Step 3: lossless scaling** :-
"Lossless scaling" on steam or get from #£(#@ sites. Just remember to get the 3.x version.
As you have already guessed the game's aspect ratio is messed up for the previous step. If you are using the 800x600 aspect ratio, just copy these settings -
For 800x600 (Recommended):
· Scaling Mode: Custom
· Custom Scale Factor: 2.4
· Scaling Type: LS1 or FSR (try both with performance on)
· Frame Generation: OFF (crucial for low-end PCs)
· Sharpness: 1-3(adjust to taste)
· Capture API: DXGI or wgc (make queue target=0)
(Don't use frame genaration and sync mode)
For 1024x768, make the Scale Factor: 1.9
[**∆ additional notes**: dxgi and wgc gives different results for different PC, so try both to see which one is better. LS1 is generally better than FSR but also try out FSR. You can increase the sharpness as you want because the performance drop is minimal.]
**Step 4: rivatuner** :-
This step is not mandatory but having a constant FPS is better. Rivatuner(+MSIafterburner) is light and works great. Special k has a lot of hassle with its configurations and fullscreen mode that can crash the game if not used correctly.
You can get MSIafterburner from Google.
Launch MSI(u can get manual configurations on internet as ur liking) Open the rivatuner and click add. Select nier replicant. Then limit the frame to 30 fps (Or more).
# Game launch
Launch the game first (stay in windowed mode)
Open Lossless Scaling (as administrator)
Click "Scale" (5-second countdown starts)
Immediately click back into the game window before the countdown ends
**Hex coding** : I have tried hex coding. But the black bars didn't go after multiple changes. Most of the time the bars didn't go but the resolution was rising and causing performance issues.
If you are expert in this, you may try and get more FPS by making a native aspect ratio.
[**Personal experience**: the game was running at 22-25 fps with a slow animation speed. But after doing all this the game is hitting 32-37 fps with normal speed but i have limited it to 30 fps for a constant value] the visual is shown below -
Pc specs i7 1355u 16gb intel uhd graphics
Im now playing the witcher 3 good game
The games ive played before are rdr2,cyberpunk,mafia definitive edition,spiderman,
The best one ive played is rdr 2 do i need games as good as it
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @1.20GHz
8gb ram (ddr4)
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 128 mb
256gb NVME SSD
around 40% ram is used by background apps so only 4-5 gb ram is left
Idk how but im currently playing gta 4 (720p medium settings) in this potato laptop(it's a miracle tbh) and thinking of playing rdr1 or assassins creed 1 sometimes after completing gta 4. If you have some recommendations then please tell me in comments
I'm kinda new to pc gaming
And also nothing can be upgraded
Specs:
This is my first time getting into gpu installation, any guides to not get myself blown up and breaking the pc will be greatly appreciated. Budget range under 50$
So far im eyeing on a low profile Nvidia GT 730 DDR3 2gb graphics card listed for 20$ would that be good? If not, suggest something abit better than this gpu.
Most games im planning to play are usually 7th - 8th generation console games between late 2000s and mid 2010s such as Sleeping Dogs, GTA IV and V, COD Black Ops 2010, in mid to low settings
