Unfortunately your system's GPU and CPU combo might not allow you to play GTA V or Metal Gear.
The CPU is less powerful than a third generation core i3 CPU, while the GPU is equivalent to an intel HD4000 GPU. It might be good for multimedia, but it will struggle massively with PC games.

total available graphic memory-2gb, dedicated video memory-512mb, system video memory-0mb, shared system memory-1.5gb.
pls who can explain the meaning of these terms. thanks

Your GPU requires some memory (RAM) to work, and it can either have its own inbuilt memory (dedicated video memory, which resides on the GPU card) or it uses part of the RAM installed on the system (shared memory). Hope that helps.

The first number is not irrelevant na, it is how you separate Keplar from Fermi and maxwell, but yeah, it is mostly irrelevant as far as people are concerned. But you're right on the rest though.
E go even shock you say GTX 280 from 2008 is mostly better than GTX 850M from 2014. Nvidia be confusing consumers like crazy.

before you buy any GPU for your system you should do some extensive research.

Somebody give this man 6 bottles.

daze how far? I see u repair phone s?
Can u root a nokia XL?(make u a no vex say I derail)

I believe it can can be rooted using framaroot on the phone itself or use Nokia X manager on your windows PC. Just make sure to have USB debugging enabled.

Definitely, but most people don't know this, I have personally seen a lot of people bamboozled into buying laptops with weaker Nvidia cards than AMD cards based on the general logic that AMD is "bad". Although I can't say everybody should know how to discern if a card is good or not because that would mean that I wouldn't be getting deals as good as I do now.

Funny enough there is a similar misconception about AMD CPUs. Many "experts" dissuade people from purchasing laptops with AMD CPUs; because they usually don't last, they have inferior motherboards, and they run hotter than Intel CPUs. Investigate these claims and you'll discover the offending processors are desktop grade CPUs, or some outdated Sempron nonsense.
AMD's recent mobile processors (APUs) are very good (something some people find so hard to believe), although Intel CPUs are still the undisputed kings of CPUDom.

Yea, I was telling a client that AMD CPUs having those issues stopped mostly being the case in 2009 or so and he was just like ok Sigh. I personally don't recommend AMD APUs because they're mostly not as powerful, for example th higher end A10 is no match for the i7 family from Intel. If it were that their bundled graphics processors were much better than the Intel IGPs, this would be a very different case.
Just imagine a "laptop" expert telling me that if I had an AMD processor, putting my laptop to sleep would destroy the board.

Too bad, misinformation is some people's stock-in-trade. They talk authoritatively about what they know little to nothing about. The main draw with AMD CPUs is their more favourable performance-to-price ratio when compared to their Intel siblings, although AMD CPUs have nothing on Intel's CPUs in a straight comparison AMD's CPUs provide a good outlet for the cash strapped.

pls I'm also in Accra, wanna ask if airtel bis is still unlimited and which plan is it and can it be shared with PC? thanks

1. Yes it is

2. I'd suggest u subscribe to social. Lately they increased the prices(eg 1gh for daily. Used to be 49.99psc)

3. I have tried, not sucessful yet.

Sorry for the delay in reply. Been tooo busy lately

purplekayc:

Sad part however is that the 280ghtx cannot start most of today's games while the useless 850m, even though choppy, can...all because of directx 11. Such a waste of good power.

Very annoying. I just wish Nvidia could update their past powerhouses, although it wouldn't favour them from a business standpoint.

I want to build a gaming PC, do you guys know where I can buy a gaming PC case. I am willing to ship other parts from Amazon but case will be too expensive to ship.

Is the case really that much wahala to you? My case is an old acer coreduo case and it does the job well. I know u worry about entilation but seriously my cpu and gpu temperature hover around 39 degrees and 59 degree respectively. Or u want beauty? Is it worth the hasle?

is the lenovo y50 a good multimedia laptop

tensazangetsu:

Yes!! Not bad for gaming too

Well i plan on buying a GPU in the range or AMD R9 280 or 290 and core i5, which should bring the expected watts to 600w when gaming next gen games and high temperatures.Will an old acer coreduo case have a psu that can handle that and is there room to fit a psu that can plus is there enough room for the gpu and board, if so won't it be too hot and cramped. Bear in mind oyinbo people complain of high temps using similar specs in their cold climate when gaming with expensive cases designed to reduce heat.

And how long do you think it will last before becoming obsolete and what's best between a lenovo y50 and an Asus rog gl551jw ds74.

forget the Lenovo. If u ve the financial power, go for the asus. the Y50 has a gtx 860m and the asus has a gtx 960m with a better CPU.

Anyways both PCs should last for at least 4 years b4 u start looking to change it, IF u manage it well...

It's all about the gpu, the Asus rog gl551jw ds74 has a 960m gpu which is better than the lenovo 860m. Check notebookcheck.net and use that to compare laptop gpus and how well they perform on recent games. it's an excellent site

Actually the asus is quite cheaper than the lenovo the asus cost around 190k if you convert it to naira and the lenovo around 250k

Whaaaaat?? Where did u find the ASUS at dat price?? If dats d case, please forget abt the Lenovo and get the Asus ASAP

Yeah I live in ghana laptops are much cheaper here than in Nigeria.
