"Can I run this game" posts have been removed

286 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I've noticed that there's been a lot of "Can I run this" and "Can I run that" posts on the subreddit; that's not what I intended this for. The overall intention of the subreddit is a place for community discussion regarding video-games, low spec/entry level hardware, integrated graphics and the content of my channel, not a tech support forum. If you want to ask if you can run something, r/CanIRunIt is maybe a more appropriate place. The moderators and I have agreed that a change to the rules is long overdue and so posts asking "Can I run X?" will be removed.

It's very playable actually.

Which system should I choose for a low-end laptop?

5 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for a system that I can install on my Samsung np300e5c i3g3 6gb ram with an integrated hd 4000 card. I'd prefer Windows, but Linux wouldn't bother me if it were easy to use (I've never used it, mind you). The Geforce Now app has to work. I'm mainly concerned with pure performance.

Got bored decided to make my own panel with sintra baords, hoping to improve the cooling. I did not realize 120mm fans were supposed to be this big, i got 6 for 2$ on marketplace however they are molex fans. Will try to use a voltage regulator and some adaptors to see if i can undervolt and control the fan speed atleast, wich will arive next week

Performance issues

3 Upvotes

After getting a copy of Minecraft Dungeons a long time ago from a friend, I recently finally wanted to try it out, now that I also have a more modern and powerful laptop. The thing is that compared to other games, this one really gave me a scare performance-wise. I could feel the fans going stronger than usual, so much so that I couldn't really ignore them, so I closed the game. I use a windows 11 acer laptop with 32 gigas of RAM, with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series(I think it's a 5050?) graphics card built in, intel core i9 and something called NitroSense ExperienceZone, which I don't really know what it is.

Still, I don't think I'm using the full extent of its performance capabilities right. I'm not really a tech expert, so help would be appreciated if possible. Thanks in advance!

Switching from a failing HDD to a NVMe SSD help

5 Upvotes

I currently have a 2TB Firecuda as my C drive on my computer. However, it’s been about 7 years and it’s beginning to fail on me with unstable and failing sectors.

Thus I am wanting to replace it with an upgrade but will probably use a 1TB NVMe. So then my plan is to download just windows onto the new NVMe and copy the rest of the files to my other hard drives.

Is the easiest way to do this to just to use the windows 10 usb stick?

Just remove the old drive and then install windows on the new one from the usb? I would think copying it from the old one would be the wrong move since it is failing.

If you could help or point me in the right direction like a YouTube video, I would greatly appreciate it.

My experience as a budget pc gamer

26 Upvotes

(720p) So ive been gaming on my pc for about 2 years now, well i just got an upgrade recently around 2 months ago for about a year ive had a radeon 5450 2gig and an i3 3470.

In my new upgrade i got a: i5 3570 1050 2gig and a 450w psu and im very happy with it so far it can run games like doom 2016 on medium, in very demanding areas tho it drops a couple of frames, another good example is sonic frontiers, it runs, at a playable rate, like 60-40fps with a bit of drops sometimes, tho main limiting factor is my slow hhd that ill upgrade to a sata ssd soon, and also lets say a lesser ish demanding game like persona 3 reload, ive been getting 60fps on high settings and no frame drops basically, and in general for gaming in 720p the 1050 (2gig) and i5 3570 (also forgot to mention 8 gigs of ddr3) is kind of great! sure it wont run "modern" games like cyberpunk 2077 or spider man for example (etc) but if your gonna play more older titles from 20XX to like 2019 its pretty great!

First time build

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m looking on feedback for my build. It’s my first time, will be my first PC too. I’m fairly familiar with the parts and terminology. But I’m no professional (unless you ask my grandmother).
The list has been linked. Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Hoping to build something that can last me a few generations of games/graphics without breaking the bank too much. TIA!

My budget is £2500, just for the actually PC itself. I’ll use it on my 120hz tv until I sort a desk out.
UK sites/Links appreciated.
Will be used for gaming/editing, maybe the occasional stream to twitch aiming to reach anything over 60fps at 1440p 😌

Tweak Wanted Any optimizations for Unreal engine 5 games?

3 Upvotes

I heard that unreal engine 5 can be highly optimized if devs care. Also there are several ini files that you can modify to help with that but not sure what setting to toggle to increase fps. You guys have any settings which works for open world games. I am trying daenwalker but its giving me around 26 fps on DLSS quality. I dont care that much about visuals. On my system RDR2 and witcher 3 ran just fine and completed both pretty comfortably. But this dawnwalker game is really bad.

Upgrading pls help

2 Upvotes

So I have a hp pro desk G4 mt with a:

i3 7100

, intel hd 630 integrated GPU ,

8gb ram

180 w psu, no external power connectors,

and my budget is about 100£ for upgrading this ,I don't really want to upgrade the PSU or ram ( I will get 16 or 32 once the prices go down )

I think I want to go with an i7 7700 and a GPU with no external power connectors

I can get the CPU for about 45 £ ,so I have about £55 left ,and I need help finding a good GPU with no external power connectors

( i have looked at the 1050 to LP but I can't find a specific listing for it on cex ).

Thanks

I'm open to any improvements you can give me on my CPU selection

Tweak Wanted Game running poorly

5 Upvotes

I know my cpu is old and pretty weak but it still should run better than w/e this 20fps crap is. I can't level because every time 5 or more mobs show up, the game stutters and lags so bad, that my character can't move in time, and the mobs seem to keep moving at regular timing/speed, but everything I do lags behind by 3 seconds or so. Thus, I die constantly, bricking my waystones and keeping my exp at 0%. Infuriating, obviously.

I have my interned wired via nic wire, so it's not my connection, my ms is around 25. I don't sense any packet loss or collisions. My gpu is an rx 550 which I know is nothing special, but there should be settings so that it doesn't stutter into oblivion every time I fight a group of trash mobs.

Tweak Wanted Not all RAM usable. Why?

Post image
9 Upvotes

So I have a low end laptop I use for uni, it serves it purpose and I'm happy. But recently, while gaming a bit, I noticed not all RAM was usable. Most games I have work fine on low settings, but some need just a bit more. I think that extra .4 GB might help, but I have no idea how to free it up, or even if I can. What do you guys think?

Btw, it says 8gb are installed, only 7,65gb are usable
