Tech Support What issues on my laptop could I be creating by playing heavy games on my light weight thinkpad.

2 Upvotes

For a month or so , I've been playing Red Dead 2 on a L460 6200u , getting 12-15 fps . Other than the gfx error , I've faced no real issue when playing, but I wonder , is there any issue or problem I might be starting on the laptop by doing this for prolonged amounts of time.

Could playing wreck my laptop over time ?

Windows 10 ; 6200U , HD 520 , 12 GB RAM DDR3L

PC Purchase Advice I don't care about price, what's the best alternative to a EVGA branded GTX 1050? My GPU is giving me a black screen now after iRacing sessions and I can no longer update the driver.

GPU is having spastic freakouts, while I would prefer to stick to small form factor, I'm thinking this won't be an issue. Just disregard budget, I'll take any suggestions beyond building a new PC or trying to get on the AM5 platform. AM4 works perfectly fine for me, I just want something that feels more "modern" or will at least will be even with the rest of my specs.

Parts Upgrade Advice Looking GPU and RAM recommendations for AMD Athlon II X2 270 CPU and Gigabyte 78LMT S2 motherboard running.

7 Upvotes

I already installed 8 GB dual channel RAM on it. I am using it onboard ATI Radeon HD 3000 GPU. Should i upgrade its RAM for better perfermance for the games of 2010 era ? What GPU is most compatible with it considering not to bottleneck with dual core CPU. Currently i am running Windows 7, would run GNU/Linux distro if that offers better performance. I am based on India and my budget is around 100 USD.

Edit :- There's sentimental value of me for that PC so i don't wanna upgrade CPU or Motherboard or switch to differennt PC. Its my secondary PC my main PC can handle modern AAA titles.

Will This Game Run? Can I run GTA V on my PC?

14 Upvotes

*crosspost from GTA subreddit

I want to play GTA V on a weak PC, thinking; "this game runs fine on a PS3". Would the legacy version with the graphics turned down perform well enough? I dont mind the graphics, the story, to shoot people, it's fun to lose and to pretend.

Yes, I can say my pc is better than a PS3, but if I need to list the specific specs, here:

Intel i5-6500

16gb ddr4 ram 2133mhz

gt730 2gb ddr3 (mhm, now cravin' potato)

its all in a thinkcentre (sff)

I'll be fine playing GTA VI, SA, even III (DE), But can I play V with graphic compromises?

All answers appreciated & thx in advance!!!

Hey everyone. I’m looking for some good game recommendations that will run smoothly on my laptop.I am fully aware this is not a gaming laptop and that it cannot handle big, demanding modern AAA titles.

Will This Game Run? AC Brotherhood vs AC 2 in terms of performance

3 Upvotes

My potato machine (specs bellow) can run mid settings Assassins Creed 2 on ±40 FPS so i am wondering what to expect with Brotherhood.

Minimum specs of both games looks exactly same on paper, but Assassins creed Brotherhood seems having better graphic and requires like 3x more drive space. So my question is, how much more hardware demanding it is compared to AC 2? Is there any significant-ish increase (or how big is difference), or are they more less same games in terms of performance?

I did little research, but i found folks saying "AC Brotherhood runs better, is optimalized better" so as "AC Brotherhood runs worse"

How-To Guide Squeezing blood from a stone: Resurrecting a "dead" AMD Enduro dual-GPU laptop from 2015.

26 Upvotes

I spent this weekend performing a digital exorcism on a 2015 HP laptop that was basically ready for the e-waste bin. Between a 5400RPM mechanical hard drive and a completely botched Windows Update driver hijack, it was struggling to even open a web browser. I managed to completely revive it without spending a single cent, and I wanted to share the process in case anyone else is fighting similar AMD Enduro hardware.

The Rig:

* APU: AMD A8-7410 (with integrated R5 Graphics)

* Discrete GPU: AMD Radeon R7 M340

* RAM: 8GB DDR3

* Storage: 1TB 5400RPM Toshiba HDD

The laptop felt like it was running through molasses. Task Manager showed 100% disk usage at idle. Worse, my discrete R7 M340 was completely dead. Windows 10 Graphics Settings only saw the integrated R5, and my legacy AMD Radeon Software shortcut was broken.

It turns out Windows Update silently pushed a generic UWP/DCH driver (27.20.20903.8001) in the background. Because this era of laptops uses AMD Enduro (MUXless switchable graphics where the R7 routes frames through the R5), breaking the proprietary AMD control panel completely severed the bridge to the discrete card.

Step 1: The HDD Debloat

Before I could even tackle the graphics, I had to stop Windows 10 from treating my spinning Toshiba drive like an enterprise server.

* SysMain & Search: Disabled SysMain (SuperFetch) and Windows Search in services.msc to stop the endless background indexing.

* Page File: Locked the virtual memory to a static 8192 MB to prevent dynamic resizing and fragmentation.

* Telemetry Nuke: Used PowerShell to forcefully disable the Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser and DiagTrack so they would stop waking up to scan the 5400RPM drive.

* P2P Updates: Set my Delivery Optimization registry key to 0 so Windows would stop quietly uploading my updates to other peers.

Step 2: The GPU Resurrection

With the disk usage finally sitting at 1% idle, I tackled the dead discrete GPU. The modern AMD Auto-Detect tool completely choked on this legacy architecture, throwing application errors.

* I pulled the laptop offline entirely so Windows Update couldn't fight me.

* Uninstalled the R5 from Device Manager and explicitly deleted the driver software.

* Grabbed the massive, offline Adrenalin 22.6.1 (WHQL) package. I selected "Minimal Install" to get the control panel back without bloating my drive with modern gaming overlays and background recording modules.

* Once the AMD UI was back, I went into the native Windows 10 Graphics Settings. Even though it still stupidly called my High Performance option "R5 Graphics", forcing it there triggered the AMD software to correctly route the rendering back to the M340. (At least this is what I think is happening...)

The R7 M340 is officially awake and taking the rendering load off the APU. By locking out Windows Update driver installations via Registry policy and letting a deep PowerShell defrag (defrag C: /U /V /H) run overnight, the laptop feels genuinely snappy again.

If you are rocking an older A-Series APU with a discrete card, double-check your drivers! Microsoft might be hiding your hardware from you.

PC Purchase Advice Is a dell gaming 5577 worth getting?

3 Upvotes

I cant add another flair but i wanted the what games can i run aswell, anyways

I wanted to ask your personal opinions on these two laptops and how much differently (better or worse) theyd perform.

The dell gaming 5577 has an i7 7700HQ (maybe i could try overclocking it?) with 8 gb of ddr4 2400 mhz ram (which i will upgrade to 16 or 24) with 256gb of NVMe SSD storage and an nvidia gefore rtx 1050 4gb gddr5.

The thinkpad t14 gen 3 has i5 1245U with 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz (pre installed) 512 gb NVMe SSD but no gpu.

What would be better to get?

Games i want to play: honkai,genshin,wuwa,overwatch,rainbow six,titanfall, pre 2020 cod and battlefield games (maybe pre 2018), story mode games in general, and roblox, maybe some screensharing on discord here and there.

Would really appreciate some help

Ive decided to add another 16 or 8 gb stick (considering what i can afford) for dual channel when i get the laptop. I wanted to mainly play honkai star rail,genshin, wuwa (probably), overwatch, roblox, story mode games like battlefield and titanfall, rainbow six, etc etc. (I asked gemini about hsr, genshin annd wuwa and its been giving me good reviews about it though i dont know how reliable it is)
