I would STRONGLY recommend dropping another 150 euros on a dedicated graphics card, either a GTX1060 (nVidia) or an rx570 (AMD). I'm normally an nVidia fanboy but I just built a little 2nd PC for my youngest (mostly out of spares from my old i5) and dropped an rx570 in it. Very decent card for the price. I wouldn't put an AMD in my own system of course, ew, but it's just for the kids so ... . Last edited by Toy Soldier; 10-08-2020 at 01:50 PM. |

Go to https://www.pcgamebenchmark.com/ to find if your computer runs certain games.
I have found onboard graphics run quite a lot of games, even some newer ones. Last edited by James; 10-08-2020 at 02:31 PM. |

umm it will of course at least bit better than on a laptop (which isn't meant for games in the first place)
even if quality is similar to my previous desktop computer or slightly better i would still be happy

fingers crossed current laptop will boot properly until i have new computer, after that it will be partially my concern, only whenever i need to help out my nan since she is very clueless as for technology stuff, she just likes being online to read newspapers

Standard graphics are pretty good these days and will run a lot of games. Expensive graphics add ons will bring additional shading and a better frame rate, but thats not essential.

anyway laptop is still doing something right, i see 2 green lights again and battery charged up to 98%
so hope for the best it can keep doing well, so i can be charitable and give this one away to my nan but anyway i feel relieved i have everything i want on the external hard-drive either, just music2pc i haven't but that one is easy to download online so CCleaner i want to keep of course, i love this fast safe and cleanup program

There are gaming laptops that exist ans are meant for gaming purposes.

You could have built a gaming computer for the amount of money you spent.

You'll get 30fps on low at 1080p on games from maybe 2017 and earlier. Trying to run anything at 1440p will kill it. For the same money you could buy a decent 1080p monitor AND a card, which you might as well do if you can't run anything at 1440 anyway . I won't deny being a graphics snob though, I'm running a £750 card . |
