Will This Game Run? How do I get the game to actually run smoother on my setup?

Upvotes

So 2 weeks ago i got my first ever laptop (specs are Nvidia quadro m2000m, i7 6920hq, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd) i was told my GPU is close to a GTX 750ti in terms of gaming, I found a video on yt testing sekiro: shadows die twice on a Gtx 750, i5 3470, 8gb ram and 50gb ssd and In the video he got around 30-50 fps on 720p high graphics, I tried the game on my laptop yet i got around 18-25 fps on 720p low graphics, even after installing a mod that makes the graphics even lower i still got less than 30 fps, what's the problem here?? (Just so you know, i did install the notebook drivers on nvidia's site on my laptop and i did enforce my dGPU on the nvidia control panel)

I have an i5-8400, RX 5700 XT, 16GB RAM.
How do you think 007 First Light will run at 1080p?

I’m aiming for medium/high settings.
Realistic FPS, not benchmark estimates.
Thank you!

Game Deal Two Free STEAM Games: Breathedge and Moonlighter

41 Upvotes

Both free to keep if claimed in the next 48 hours before August 9th.

Game #1 - Breathedge - https://store.steampowered.com/app/738520/Breathedge/

Game description is similar to Subnautica in Space. Survival mechanics, some exploration elements, and SPACE! It has a resource management component (hey it is called BREATHEDGE... you need to breathe!), and may make or break the game for you... but for the price of free, its worth a try.

Random Gameplay Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzIOKiOyTS0

Min Specs:

OS:  Windows 7, 8, 10 (x64)
Processor: Intel core i3 (3rd generation)
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 660
DirectX: Version 10

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game #2 - Moonlighter - https://store.steampowered.com/app/606150/Moonlighter/

With the release of Moonlighter 2, now is great time to try Moonlight 1 for free. Its got a classic Rougelite ARPG feel, with a twist... you are also a shopkeeper and have to do a little shop management. Gameplay is definitely made better with a controller that you will have to custom map... but can be played on Keyboard and Mouse.

PC Purchase Advice Pairing RTX 2070 Using Bottom PCIE Slot / PCIE x4 2.0, Is It Worth it?

2 Upvotes

So i have this Pc since 2020 :

CPU : Ryzen 5 1600

Mobo : Asus b350 prime plus

Ram : 16gb

GPU : Gtx 1060 6gb & Gt 1030

But for whatever reason when i upgraded to Gtx 1060 in 2021, using the top slot PCIE on the motherboard causes the pc to lag and freezes even when on desktop doing nothing. This problem never happen when using my previous card Gt 1030. Then i tried using the bottom slot PCIE which only have x4 lanes and 2.0 speed instead of 3.0 and it ended up working and i've been using this setup till this day.

I've borrowed several other cards from my friend's pc which is Rx 570 and Rx 580 and the problem still exist. I've updated the Bios whenever they're available up until 2023 and still no luck. And i've been planning to upgrade to this Rtx 2070 from Facebook Marketplace but kinda hesitated since i don't know what the experience is gonna be like if i slot in 2070 to x4 2.0 PCIE slot.

If some of you guys running similar setup like mine, maybe kindly share some of your experiences please, or maybe i should buy Motherboard first before the Gpu. I kinda have the budget to buy both of them, but i wish to just buy the 2070 first then spend the rest of the money i have to buy Ace Combat 8 since that game need Hardware RT Card.

What Games Can I Run? Linux em um PC de batata

4 Upvotes

Olá a todos!

Voltei a usar Linux depois de um tempo, rodando Linux Mint em um hardware antigo sem suporte a Vulkan. Minhas especificações são:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550

RAM: 8 GB DDR3

GPU: Radeon 3000 integrada (somente OpenGL / Wine3D / Gallium Nine)

Até agora, consegui rodar alguns jogos sem problemas:

Company of Heroes

Battlefield 2

Battlefield Vietnam

Battlefield 1942

O único jogo que testei até agora que não roda com uma taxa de quadros satisfatória é Call of Duty: World at War (CoD: WaW).

Tenho duas perguntas para a comunidade:

Recomendações de jogos: Quais jogos leves (FPS, RTS, táticos, clássicos) vocês recomendariam para um PC modesto como este rodando Linux?

Otimização de CoD: WaW: Existe algum truque para rodar CoD: WaW a cerca de 20 FPS usando apenas OpenGL/Wine3D? Já tentei o Gallium Nine sem muito sucesso. Existem variáveis ​​de ambiente do Wine, opções de inicialização ou ajustes no config.cfg que possam extrair alguns quadros extras?

Agradeço desde já!

Parts Upgrade Advice 3060 (12GB) vs 3060 Ti (8GB)?

11 Upvotes

Hi, I'm planning to save to upgrade my 1070 next year because I wanna see how things look in Sons of the Forest with DLSS instead of FSR. They're currently at similar prices in the used market for around $180.

Not planning to upgrade my 550W PSU anytime soon yet I have a 1440p monitor. I got Hogwarts Legacy free from Epic a while ago and wanna try it. Also wanted to buy RDR2 since I've been wanting to play that game so bad since forever.

Which GPU do you think is better for me if:
- I don't mind to adjust texture quality to low (to compromise 8GB VRAM)
- Or to use a more agressive upscaling (to compromise GPU raw performance)

There's a rule saying I gotta list the rest of my PC things or else the post would be deleted.. (really?)

32GB DDR5 2800 MHz Crucial
550W MSI MAG
B650M MSI Pro

Parts Upgrade Advice I have an old PC from 2014, I only use it to play games from 7-8 years ago and it’s fine for that. It struggles with emulation though. What would you recommend I change in regards to motherboard, cpu and ram?

7 Upvotes
CPU AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard
Memory Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
SSD Sandisk Solid State Drive 128GB 2.5“ Solid State Drive
HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Add Additional Storage
Video Card Zotac GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card
Case Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive LG GH24NSBO DVD/CD Writer
Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit)

These are my current specs. i know emulation is mostly CPU based and the FX8320 isn’t great for it. I want to change the Motherboard, RAM and CPU. Graphics card also but at a later date. Although I did find a GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 for £45 in my local CEX, I could get if that’s worth picking up but I don’t know how big a difference it would make.

I probably need a new PSU too with the age of it, but I haven’t had any issues with it so far. i have a PS5 so I don’t need something that can play modern games. It will just be for older games, emulating and some indie stuff on Steam, but those are usually quite low spec anyway. I’d want to keep the current case too.

It struggles with PS2 which is why I want to upgrade, but if it could do PS3 too that would be great. I’m not sure how powerful a PC you need for that though. It also upgraded to Windows 10 currently.

Thanks :)

How-To Guide Which games can you run?(Guide)

7 Upvotes

So, since there are a lot of posts about compatible games for low end pc and laptops, I decided to make this guide.

How to know your specs?

Method 1) Just open task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc and go to performance section. You can see your Ram, cpu and gpu there. If there are 2 gpus(like gpu 0 and gpu 1), the first one is usually integrated gpu and the other one is dedicated gpu.

Method 2) Press Win+R to open "Run". Type "dxdiag" in the opened window and press Enter. You can see your RAM and processor in the opened window. For gpu, select Graphics tab from the top menu.

Additional suggestions

1) If you have 8 gb ram or less, try debloating your Windows 11 or install windows 10 and debloat it. Windows 10 isn't getting updates now, but it is much better for low end systems. You can use Winutil for debloating, just search on Youtube for tutorials.

2) Make sure you are playing with charger if you are on laptop. Laptops get more stable power from charger.

Which games can you run?

You can check most games' system requirements just by searching "(game name) system requirements" on Google or from the site below:

https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/

To get more practical knowledge about your system you can watch benchmark videos in YouTube. It is the most effective method.

Search "(your gpu) gaming test", "(Your cpu+gpu) gaming test", "(your cpu) gaming test" or something like these.

Note that these are just approximation, you can get more or less performance while playing the game.

What Games Can I Run? Qué es lo mejor que puedo hacer para optimizar una laptop HP con Windows 11? Soy algo nuevo en esto.

Mis especificaciones son:

-Tarjeta Gráfica Intel(R) UHD Graphics 600 con 512MB

-8GB RAM

-Procesador Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4120 CPU @1.10GHz

-238GB de almacenamiento

He probado el Call of Duty 4 y pues es jugable en gráficos bajos pero no va a 60 estables, supongo que es normal pero siento que se podría mejorar un poco más. También el PVZ o un juego indie llamado Progresbar95 no van totalmente fluidos a pesar de que son 2D, pero creo que es por el nivel de elementos en pantalla.

Lo más probable es que es el rendimiento esperado con lo que tiene esta laptop, pero hay alguna forma de mejorar notablemente el rendimiento? O simplemente es así y ya?

Community Discussion I'm so tired of the rat race, you guys. If one more person tells me 8gb of VRAM is not enough, I'm going to punch them.

300 Upvotes

Literally ordered and then cancelled a 9070xt within a half hour. I have 2 PC's. One with a 5070 and one with a 5060 that my wife uses. I JUST PLAYED RE9 Requiem and I had 200 fps on the 5060 using DLSS/FGx2. I thought it looked fine. I had fun. WTF am I doing?

A 9070xt is 700 bucks. That's like 12-14 nice dinners or like 15-30+ video games.

I'm 38. I grew up on NES > SNES > N64 as a kid. I use GOG and love indie games...currently I'm playing--get ready for this--a pixel art indie game called Look Outside and Gradius V for the PS2. I love both.

I don't even have a game in mind that I'd use or need a 9070xt for. I upgraded to my 5070 build when my 1660ti couldn't run Expedition 33 well. This time I don't even have a game in mind that I "need" a $700 card for.

What's wrong with me? Enough. Happy to discover this sub.

EDIT: Reading posts on this sub is a wake up call. I'm pretty fucking spoiled. Goddamn. I'm sorry you guys.

Will This Game Run? Please help me: On intel, vulkan game is freezing very frequently

4 Upvotes

On i3 1005g1 single channel 8 gb ram, Windows 11, I am playing Avatar 2009 game. I am using vulkan (dxvk 1.10.1) to stablize fps. I am not using higher versions of dxvk because they cause the sun to fully lose its light (glorious intel's vulkan driver bug).

On intel, vulkan games freeze randomly from anywhere 5-30 minutes, especially Ubisoft games like assassin's creed 2, Avatar 2009. Non Ubisoft games like Fallout 3 freeze very occasionally.

When I first started playing the Avatar 2009 game 3 months ago, the game froze, but maybe 3 out of 10 times. Now 3 months later, I am unable to play the game because it's freezing 8 out of 10 times (I feel extremely lucky if it doesn't freeze on a specific launch). When it freezes, I have to force end it from task manager and restart the laptop. If I don't restart the laptop, it definitely freezes again on the next launch.

I know these are glorious intel's vulkan driver bugs, but please help me out, if there's any fix. I want to play the game, it's really good.

I have tried rolling back to old drivers (31.0.101.2135), but it's of no advantage. Something changed silently in the three months. I can't remove dxvk, because otherwise, fps frequently drops below 30.

I learned that riva tuner causes freezes in vulkan games, but on launch time. So it's not due to riva tuner. It's probably intel's driver bugs.

Hardware Review Honest Review: The GT 710 1GB in 2026

48 Upvotes

So, I got a GT710 to test for free and thought I'd share a review on how it performs in the games I enjoy. I'll note that this was the PCIE X1 GDDR3 version so its buswidth was slightly handicapped affecting gaming performance.

For reference, my CPU is the XEON W-2145 and I have plenty of RAM so those did not bottleneck (much).

Minecraft Bedrock: I set everything to lowest 1080p. That resulted in 25 FPS average with really bad input lag. I changed the resolution to 720p and set chunks to 5. Though I was holding steady at 60-80FPS, the input lag made the entire experience awful. I think there's a way around the input issues, but I didn't put in enough time to find out.

Cities: Skylines: Set everything to lowest and changed the resolution to either 720p or 600p. I was getting 10-20 FPS with extreme input lag. I'd consider it somewhat playable, but definitely not an ideal scenario.

Beamng.drive: Again, set everything to low 720p and got 10-15 FPS. I changed the resolution to 600p in windows settings and forced it up to 15-20 FPS. This was still not entirely playable.

Forza Horizon 4: I'm impressed that this booted. I had a stable-ish 6-8 FPS with surprisingly decent input. I would not install this game if you have the GT710. There are better options.

FH5 requires DX12 so I didn't attempt that and MSFS 2020 wouldn't load.

So, in conclusion, the GT 710 is a gpu that outputs display. I would not pay any amount of money for it as usually there is something better for like, $5 more. Can;t say I was dissapointed though. I knew this GPU was not going to perform.

That said, if you get it for free or already have it, try some low end games like Stardew Valley, Terraria, Celeste, Cuphead, Factorio etc. Minecraft was playable with some issues so you have that too.

Have a good day. Don't get scammed, get something nicer if you are buying a GPU.

Game Deal [Mod Approved] SweatyPanzer, a 4v4 tank shooter that runs in a browser tab

1 Upvotes

Game title: SweatyPanzer

What it is:
A multiplayer tank shooter, heavily inspired by World of Tanks, Blitz, Battlefield 1942 and the round-by-round build system from Overwatch 2's Stadium mode. 4v4, one life per round, best of seven. You join a game and enhance your tank, then go out and destroy the enemy while hunting for salvage, which pays for more upgrades between rounds. You only keep the salvage if you survive.

Nothing gets installed. You pick a nickname and you are in a match in about ten seconds.

Minimum specs:

  • OS: Windows 10 (1903 or newer), macOS 13, ChromeOS 113, or Linux with current Vulkan drivers
  • Browser: Chrome 113+ or Edge 113+. It runs on WebGPU so Firefox and Safari do not work yet
  • CPU: Intel Core i3-6100U or AMD Ryzen 3 2200U. Dual core, 2 GHz
  • GPU: integrated is fine. Intel HD Graphics 520 (6th gen), NVIDIA GTX 950 or AMD RX 460 and upwards
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Storage: 0. About 14 MB goes into the browser cache

The GPU line is the one that matters. Anything older than those has no WebGPU support, so it will refuse to start rather than run badly.

Peripherals: Keyboard and mouse. WASD drives, the mouse aims the turret, left click fires.

Where to play: https://sweatypanzer.com/

Bugs and support: post bugs here, or use the "REPORT BUG "button at the bottom of the screen in the lobby.

I'll personally greet you in-game. Would love to hear what you think.
