Bro, that's not a spec sheet...Drop details like your processor info, GPU, Storage info etc
thank you man
Re: What Pc Do You Game On Nairaland? by kimco(m): 10:47pm On Oct 21, 2014
joedejana:

4gb ram
2.5 ghz processor
1 terabyte
Core 13

If ur upgrade is for gaming den don't bother. Ur problem isn't ur cpu or ram...it's ur igp (integrated graphics processor, I think) and it won't change with a cpu upgrade. But if u need it for other cpu itensive stuff like video editing den sure. U cud upgrade but I'll advice against dat.

Nice. what of your graphic card?? is it AMD or Nvidia or Intel??
I don't think he has any of those...:e's probably using an integrated processor.

6-core AMD processor
8Gig RAM
NVIDIA GTX 670 (DirectX 11)
550w PSU

I play every game ever released on Ultra settings, @Full HD with no compromise, its just pure gaming pleasure.
oh my that gpu.....It sooo hard finding one here in ghana. I willing to bet u can't max out assasin's creed black flag, that game is badly optimised. But ur rig is really nice.

I'm still waiting for GTA V AND GTA V ONLINE on PC It will be realised January 27 2015
It should be around 40gb (size) Thank God for etisalat cheat and sites with compressed rar files.... I should be able to download it in 24hours non-stop downloading.

But for next generation consoles(ps4 & Xbox 1) November 17 2014 .....They always keep PC gamers waiting

I would also love to buy a gaming laptop for those moments where my gaming rig is far... but hack a good gaming laptop is as costly as a high-end gaming PC... I just wouldn't sleep better for spending roughly $2000 on a 15inch gaming laptop.
haha But the experience is worth it don't you think??

look for an a10-5750m lappy...can't give u a specific one cos u might nt find that very one. Those have a gud cpu and great gpu (apu) balance unlike the budget intel lappy which have a grt cpu but poor graphics processor.

A Nvidia GeForce 840M with a 2gb dedicated Memory is not a bad graphic card..It can handle almost every game. Don't you think??

Oh I do, I max out everything that has ever been released... I have a friend who has 2 Radeon 9 280x on crossfire on a 4k monitor, he kills that game on a 4k resolution (3840x 2160) with just 2 GPUs.

The only games we give respect are Crysis 3, Thief and Metro Last Light in terms of intense GPU usage BUT again we have them covered.


Also the card (GTX 670) is no longer in production so its a hard find, luckily for me I bought it last year... and since Im very obsessed with GPUs, I'm already looking into getting a new one by mid next year, maybe a R9 290x or the the newly launched GTX 980... I just hope my girlfriend doesn't find out about it, those cards are a $1000 each here (South Africa)..... she wouldn't be pleased.

Yah it is worth it I suppose..... But I would import an LG ultrawide monitor for a $1000 then buy two GTX 780s and place them on SLI for that much.

I would have a monster PC that would have me talked about in gaming circles smiley

lol no it can't. Even if it was a desktop version ( say gt 840) it'll still be at the lower end of the spectrum, so imagine the mobile version ( ie 840m) which is only 3/4 of the power of the desktop version. It's really not great. However... Cudn't u get anoda lappy with the same gpu and a better spec'ed i7, u know, a 4core i7 at atleast 2.8ghz? My actual problem isn't the gpu tho...it's okay for wat it's worth...(The cpu is my problem)

south africa? Dats why. Where I am...I'd be lucky to actually find a gtx 8800 being sold...we don't get anything here. Man I must say u guys are graphic whores...I'd love a gtx 970 tho...that gpu has the best price performance ratio there is. But a little advice there for u. Invest that cash in an i7 instead...it leaves the amd 8core cpu in the dust let alone the 6-core.

an i7 would be an overkill though. I have buddies with i7s, they had little or no noticeable performance when running benchmarks over my AMD 6-core while using the same GPU. "wink

With DirectX 12 launching next year with Windows 10, games will be GPU instead of CPU intense.

No I don't. but where I stay there's that gaming culture, we literally admire each other's machines... the biggest machine gets the most attention. Just next week my gaming clan will meet other clans for a weekend of gaming and machine admiration, you don't want to bring a lousy machine when gamers are bringing in beasts.

that's ofcos we're talking about console ports but pc exclusives like rome: total war etc, the cpu speaks volumes....u seriously don't need two 980gtx or so. Hold on...are u getting the lg monitor? Also the cpu wud bottleneck jux one of those gpus(nt so much but...) let alone double of that. I think u'll see an increase in performance with one gtx 980 and an i7 than two of those and the 6 core cpu.
