thanks a lot.. can I buy and fix a graphic card in s system that doesn't come with one?

yes you can, provided its a desktop. there are very few laptops that allow this but they really are few...i havent seen one before. however there are mods for external graphics cards to be connected, but its quite expensive and not worth it becos it uses the usb port which isnt nearly fast enuff for the data transfer.. i stand to be corrected on this one. But ideally, laptops are almost impossible to upgrade gpus on. so better get a desktop.

most gpus these days require external power since the pci express lanes do not have enuff to power de gpus alone. so in order to run most gpus in a desktop one is required to buy a power supply, a good one, preferably the 500w with good amperage sporting 6pin pci e and an 8pin pci e cables. antec, be quiet, thermatake etc are very good ones.

also mke sure to buy a dx 11 or 12 card...any thing less is a waste of time and money.

research what you r going to buy.

Dikko345:
I agree with you but about APU's being better on the graphical side i disagree. When doing light gaming it is fine. I say this because an apu is just like how intel processors have their integrated graphics but on AMD's side, the apu's graphics processor is better. But when you add a dedicated graphics card the amd processor tends to bottleneck and reduce your performance

If you read carefully you see that the comparison was done to the intel igp and since the thread is based on graphics, i only based my statement on that. And you yourself have agreed that the Apu is better on the graphical side. so i dont know exactly what you r disagreeing to.

[color=#000099][/color]pls can someone help me in explaining what a graphic card is and it's major function in a computer systems. the results I'm getting on Google are not very comprehendible .thanks

graphics card or GPU is a dedicated hardware that is not only used to display on your screen like the guy above me has stated, but to render heavy graphical tasks, that otherwise would take the CPU days to complete on the same scale (gaming and 3d graphics works). Its not to be confused with a VGA card. These days the graphics card does a lot more though, like physics taking some of the grunt work from the cpu.

there used to be more manufacturers of the graphics card(matrox, s3) but now there are only two major ones with intel being a distant third; ie AMD radeon series and Nvidia geforce series. There is also the quadro series for Nvidia used solely for rendering and 3d work.

eg of such graphics cards are gtx 1080ti and Rx 580 for Nvidia and Amd respectively.

the stronger the graphics card, the more expensive dey are, in respect to their generations.

people seem to confuse ram size with power, thats a poor notion, dont be tricked. A little bit of research goes a long way. Knowing the model name of the graphics card ypu are buying is very important..If you only see something like "Nvidia 4gb graphics card for sale" please inquire about the model name and google it. i use tomshardware or reddit for clarification.

ps: intel's "graphics cards" are not really graphics cards. they are what is known as igps (integrated graphics processors) not to be confused with AMDs solution of APU (accelerated processing unit). AMDs solution is usually better on the graphical side.

luvmijeje:
He didn't shut the door. He said other women don't meet up to the standard and to be honest, I find that hard to believe. I believe it's love.

Don't take it personal, I'm just saying, if you had being crazily in love to the extent other women pale in comparison, you will also want to wait.

OP i think you need to explain what you mean by other women pale...because for 4 years if you have not met any other woman that is close to this wonder woman of yours the i am to believe ypur sample size is you Church premises and to a lesser extent your compound. 4years brother, its too much....but if you can wait and bear the regrets or reap the Joy...you r free to continue. Remember though that God hasnt forsaken you. you will find happiness if you dont restrict yourself.

luvmijeje:
Oga, advise and let me advise. I've once being in your shoe . You can't talk about love until you feel it. You can't understand the rationale of why someone will wait until you realize not waiting is not an option.

If not waiting is an option, then you're not in love.

you cant assume that becos i cant wait for 8 years, im not inlove...Thats kind of shallow.
And I have been in love, lost her just last year though...so dont assume.

Im happy for you. you found a guy willing to wait that long for you. i hope for your sake and his that u live upto your hype. but same cant be said for OP thats why i have asked him not to lock the doors to other ladies who might be deserving of his attention. Not saying he should forget the lady, Just open his eyes to the others near him as well.. Just cos it turned out well for you doesnt me it will for him...That's dangerous advice.

luvmijeje:
The guy I'm with now waited for 8 years for me to say yes. If she is truly worth it, please continue to preserve. Good thing is worth waiting for. Pele.

Just becos you did that and he had the abnormal ability of patience yet seen doesnt make it right. 8 years for what? you better live up to expectation.

Op, there is nothing like soul mate, or made for each other. there are other women who fit the bill...maybe you are not looking far enough. if you love her and want to wait even more thats okay. the lesson is yours to learn, but if you are still after her because you spiritual watever says so plese repent and search for your own happiness. because trust me, if she accepts and doesnt live up to the bill(ie does have time for you etc) you will regret every bit of it and probably curse her in your heart, undeservedly.

you have a brain, please use it and serch your own happiness...even if it in a harlot, happiness is happiness.

nb: The harlot thing is just informing you to tear down the shallow view of women you seem to have now. dnt go searching for harlots please.

AKBliv010:
SPeak for yourself there bruh!

its my opinion bruh...

Lana1:
Lol. Maybe. But there are people who twitch while playing. Hence they probably need at least 2 monitors to do their thing.

But the guy who posted that pic on twitter said all he wanted to do was play Far Cry 5 on ultra. Maybe he plays 4k at 60fps tho. Hence the 1080 sli setup.
But u're right tho. Nothing justifies shelling out $2500 on GPUs alone.....but.....its their money i guess...

hmmm..this is jux to win some e-peni$ contest im sure.

Lana1:
Console boys can say whatever they want. Its all down to preference and how much u have and are willing to spend

so its not overspending? are we really in any position to accuse consolites of paying for online? when we spend this way for small improvements?

mikky4764:
Not all wines are alcoholic

not in the olden days. Wine was for men. Men drank alcohol.

mikky4764:
Jesus turning water to wine was a necessity, this pastor's stuff is a show off, it's uncalled for

how so? i thought alcohol was sinful liquid...

jux asking. can you clarify?

Lana1:
These white people get money na. Let them flex abeg...

well...not my money. but the console boys are now accusing us of overspending for small improvements and i feel its true.qqqaa

Lana1:

well...not my money. but the console boys are now accusing us of overspending for small improvements and i feel its true.

AKBliv010:
Might be for a multi monitor setup running at 144Hz. Hell yea! Lol

honestly dey r sooo expensive now there is no justifying buying two of those. and what would be the need for all those displays? quite wasteful.

Lana1:
What $2500 looks like...
Cc Akbliv010 kimco

too much.. do you really need both?

AKBliv010:
Perhaps, you can assist, you come across as a talented young man.

im ghanaian...i cannot do the naira conversion. let me see wat i can do

AKBliv010:
I resemble your houseboy, google it my friend

lol this is for dear nairalanders who myt refer to this thread.

AKBliv010:
The Ryzen 2200G and 2400G are out and are kicking Intels iGPUs arse. The 2400Gs iGPU have similar performance to the Nvidia GT1030 @ 720/1080p. As of today the best option for gaming on a laptop.

prices?

AKBliv010:
Not much to report here from me. no longer use my laptop for gaming. too weak lol

lol dat is not good news for a lot of the guys. are the mobile ryzen apus out yet? they shud offer far better performance.

"...and she was going to drop out of college for him"

which college? college of porn stars? she looks like a LovePeddler...even college whores have a certain class.

story's prolly fake.

im very sure OP means white wedding. otherwise, it'll be a very stupid thread....cos everyone celebrates a wedding..even traditionalists.

Jakumo:
Yes, na so. Stop caressing those firm yet succulent breasts with your grubby paws, all ye FAKE pastors, and follow the way of Pastor Adebole.

Pastor Eunuch Adejale Adebole generally prefers to deploy his Holy Septer to anoint women right between their silky thighs, thrusting DEEP into the Promised Land, whenever his old battle axe is off to Dubai on another shopping spree aboard the private jet that was purchased with tall tales told in the name of Jeeeeesus, Aaaaamen.

Hahahahahah funniest post I've seen in ages. Probably the best well constructed post I've seen so far this year.

nani6666:
Bleach is actually better than Naruto, and agreed Fairy Tail is truly loads of Fan Service, but that does not change the fact that it is a great Anime ✔️✅

Its really not. They are both trash. Bleach the bigger trash of the two though. Fairy tail is not even in question when it comes to quality anime/manga with a plot. Its that bad. But I know u have ur opinion so I wnt change ur mind. But when it comes to top 10 anime with proper plots, hell even top 20 it wnt make it.

Ayomideen:
Exactly,totally agree with that,games come first before platform of choice


Wow man,you really spent a fortune on 'em Ucom controllers,I've bought 3 so far,using the current one as careful as possible lol,and yeah those USB cords are a pain In the neck
All in all sha I'd try to get an x-box 360 controller,at least man mind go come down small say e no go quick spoil,lol

P.S mind if I digress a bit,which game are you currently playing

Cod ww2 and gta 5

Thread still alive. hello guys, how's gaming on the intel igp still going?

Graviton2:
Hey y’all!!!

Who missed me?!

Just started a YouTube channel with a couple of my friends. Please check it out. Link in my signature


Thank you!

Graviton, which other anime have u moved on to?

Bbox:
come on.. norogami

even fairytail wtf man?

Its a typical shounen manga/anime. Nakama this, nakama that. Power of friendship conquers all. Little tactical planning and the fights are mostly always the same.

And there is this thing that I don't like about most shounen mangas/animes. The the main protagonist must be the one to fight the final boss, even when there are stronger characters and obviously the protagonist is usually a child and inexperienced. Lots of grinding till the power of friendship comes through for him.

Bleach, sometyms naruto and yours trully are very guilty of this. The Ant king arc in hunter x hunter teaches us exactly how to write an arc and still win a fight that you could possibly not win through fatal sacrifices and serious tactical planning.

chiscodedon:
Need help Pls... What fifa game can my laptop computer run... Lenovo g40,core i7, AMD Radeon R5 M330,HD graphics 5500,8gig ram... Can it run fifa18..? Need answer pls

Download the demo guy. Its free. Den you'll know

LucemFerre:
The only way to know for sure is buying fifa 18

How about he run the demo. Its free and he'll know what to expect. But being africans that we are, you can probably "yarr" it. Or "borrow" from a friend.

Ayomideen:
Oh wow,well guess we humans are wired like that,as much as a PlayStation fanboy that I am,there are some Xbox exclusives I'm dying to play,like halo and forza horizon

Not a really big fan of read dead redemption though, just don't really like the old-western setting of the game

You've got 3 Xbox 360 controllers,mehn I envy you o,when me dey here dey find who go dash me,na Ucom gamepad man dey buy,which is nowhere near the Xbox 360 controller

And as per rpcsx 3,I also monitor the progress and I have to say,those guys are awesome,I believe they're gonna be able to achieve what their aim(creating an emulate that's gonna be able to emulate at least most ps3 games for PC),although a lot of people are still of the opinion that it's impossible,but looking at the games they've worked on gives hope,or what do you think?

Yes ooo, we are first and foremost, GAMERS. Sure we are fanboys too but games come first before platform of choice.

I left the u-com era a long time ago when I found out that the dualshock adaptor existed. That was the turning point for me. The adaptors were poorly made and often broke down easily but I found out the problem was the usb cord which was of a poor make. I simply change the cord to a proper one with some average soldering skills and voila, I get to keep it for as long as 4yrs(my last one lasted that long, but gave it to someone). However the dualshock controllers break far too often as well. Fifa breaks down the controllers far too oftenbought more than 10 of these and fixed them up so often as well, esp the left analog. The wireless xbox 360 controllers were gifts from someone who cudnt use them anymore since his xbox 360 was broke. They had broken analog sticks too which I fixed.

Tldr: get urself the dualshock adaptor and the dualshock controllers, preferably the dualshock 2 aka ps2 controllers and do away with the trash that is u-com controllers.

As for the emulation...it's all about money and interest. That's why the nintendo platforms have better emulation scenes than any other. The games have more interest and people are willing to pay to have them emulated.

ogongogames:
Hahaha...I get you. So more fighting/action. If I come across such types, I will bump the thread.

How come I'm never able to access and private mail from any nairalander. I always have to go to my gmail which ends up being a waste of time still.

I could read your mail cos I can't access it.

Platformers are good. Those are allowed
