yes keeeee

no dey believe say naaa ram b d wahala

it actually boils down on ur graphics card and processor.

dats y den been say make una make squeeze eyes buy nvidea or ati embedded system

But most sticks with intel graphics because dem no want make dia motherboard fry.
Hmmm. I Know it primarily depends on the processor and gpu, but 2gb ram? Abeg gimme screenshots jor. I'm not saying you're lying o, just need a little proof.

bottleneck?

bro its not abt d ram

Av a good processor and good graphics card


If u find it hard to believe
Come down to jos and i show u how swit it is usin 2gb ram

do you know the use of ram in a pc for anything?

so are u telling me that ur 2gb ram run games as smooth as 4gb with the same setup? you cannot be this ignorant. also my point still stands, officially you cannot run the game with less than 4gb. but sure sooner or later tweaks allow this limitations to be bypassed. everything wrks hand in hand in gaming....

gpu, cpu, ram, hdd in dat order. with a low amount of ram ur games will lag and ur pc will lag with it, ergo you won't be able to multitask becos ur ram needs to feed ur cpu which in turn feeds the gpu. But unlike what equado always says, ram upto some point is useless (law of diminishing returns) for gaming. I remember having to argue with him when i told him i use 6gb and am able to play two games at the same tym. the guy wouldn't believe me.

so when i say you are bottlenecking you cpu I meant interms of ram hogging games and multitasking.


Again i ask you, seeing as you have cod:aw, are you able to run the game?

[size=18pt] i use 2gb ram for folks like equado and kimco [/size]

wu finds it hard to believe dat ram is not d main reason behind gaming bt rada d processor coupled wit good graphics card.
mind u i av 4gb ram bt i remove weneva i want to disprove folks dat doubt.

If u can travel down to jos, den i assure all dis games for free

you sir are a liar. i made no such claim that ram is the sole reason behind gaming. show me proof of when i said that. I'm more interested in the gpu side of things (direct x version, vram size, vram type etc) i have had a debate with equado on ram requirements.

I know for a fact that AW has a RAM requirement which I believe is 4GB so this seems somewhat unbelievable but another thing is AW has this optimization feature on PCs such that it adjusts to what your PC has.

true...but then it has a base requirement for the optimisation to actually take place. otherwise even 1gb ram should run the game.

he provided proof of fifa for equado....he should provided proof of cod:aw for me. then i will be shamed.

My Specs:

------------------
Machine name: LENOVO Y510p
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
OS: Windows 8 64-bit
------------------
Display Device
---------------
Card name: 2x NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (SLI)
Display Memory: 4034 MB
------------------
Screen: SAMSUNG 50" UAF5000
Controller: Xbox Controller for PC
Mouse: USB 2.4G Wireless Gaming Mouse Mice 2400 DPI /1600
Gaming Keypad: Razer Tartarus

I stick with a Gaming laptop +HDMI cause I've always been on the move.

This is the most confusing rig I have seen in a while. The CPU and and GPU are mobile so reflects a laptop, but the display is 50 inches so makes for a desktop, poster says his CPU has four cores(he actually said 4 CPUs but that's by the way).
Dude do you have a laptop with an external display?

I am personally not saying he is lying but I would also like to see proof of AW running with 2GB RAM. If he actually does provide proof, I would like to know if he used a patch to make that happen as well.

Can anyone here help me out please? My DualShock 3 controller has refused to pair with my laptop's Bluetooth usb dongle. I have tried motionjoy, Better DS3, SCP, still nothing. I even bought another Bluetooth dongle, yet still nothing. Google doesn't seem to offer much help.

Although it works via usb cable.

err, The 50inch clearly serves as external display +HDMI
Just as d controller, mouse and keypad are all external devices.

-by the way, if u use DxDiag & to spool & export the systems spec. (LENOVO Y510p) as i did... (pls refer to the 1st s'shot)
I b'liv d reason is in line 2 of d 2nd s'shot... 2 logical cores per physical.

The first time i was trying to connect to a BF4 server but my PC was a little slow so i thought i'd restart and the next thing it showed me was OS missing. Same thing today i was downloading a game on steam and then i shutdown and restarted a few hours later and next thing it was giving me blue screen errors. My roommate uses the exact same lappy and he's never crashed once so i dont know why my own case is so different. I dont know if downloading windows updates affects it coz i always download as soon as they are available

I dont use fraps or any fps rate checking software.
Why?
because i av achieve wat i need to.
And dat is?
playing d game smoothly even if it meant playing at lowest graphics details

dis d ingame menu.

not clear bro but manage it pls.


Pls house av i prove or disprove u guys assertion?
