any other pc gaming hints and tips(not neccesarily related to the subject) will be welcomed

The link below tells you the system requirements needed for GTA V. If you are still not sure can download the detection app (about 2 mins) which will tell you the type of performance to expect on your PC system. From what you have typed though, I think you should be fine.

4GB RAM, NVS 5200M, Intel Core i5-3360M 2.80GHz

Hey,

Unfortunately I think you may need an 8GB ram for optimum performance.

Below is a link to a customised GD hardware scanner (it needs to be downloaded), where you can enter any game it will tell you whether you can run it on your PC. Thought it may be useful for you, when wanting to know whether you should download a specific game.

I want the Mortal Kombat X. On what system specs can I play it?

Hi there,

Minimum requirements for Mortal Kombat X I would suggest are:

Processor: Intel Core i5-750 2.67 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz
Memory: 3 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 / AMD Radeon HD 5850
Hard Disk Drive: 25 GB HD

Any other info you need let me know. I can also enter your PC specs into a computer hardware test to see the type of performance you can expect.

I've been getting a few enquiries on how the activating process actually works. Hence I have posted a video tutorial from youtube. Once you have installed and created a Steam account. It is genuinely a easy and fast process as you can see.

Hi all,
I’m a retailer of mostly digital PC video games based in the UK. As a retailer I get wholesale discounts on video games, which I try to pass on to the consumer hence my games are available at a reasonably affordable and negotiable prices.

For those of you not familiar with digital downloads particularly with regards to video games. It is a relatively straight forward and quick process that involves the activating the game download by entering the game code/key within a distribution platform such as Steam, Uplay and Origin).
Distribution platforms below:

Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/
Uplay: https://uplay.ubi.com/

What is needed?

All that is needed is for an account and program at the respective digital distribution platform to be created and installed which takes roughly about 5 minutes pending on steady internet (preferably broadband for the download to take place efficiently.) In the space of 10 minutes you can have the game of your choice ready to play!

Games Available

Below is a sample list of the most popular selling games available for sale within my library:
Assassin's Creed 2 Deluxe Edition UPLAY
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag UPLAY
Assassin's Creed Unity UPLAY
Assassin's Creed Unity XBOX ONE

Please which PES version can run smoothly on this system

Hi there,

If you check the site below, all you need to do is select the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), RAM and game and it will tell you whether your PC can run the game, and what type of performance to expect.

http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?pid=242&cpu=Pentium%20Dual%20Core%20E2180%202.0GHz

Thought I would post here as well as the PC gamers thread. I'm interested in selling digital games and have tested those that I have and they work perfectly fine. Issue is I'm based in the UK, I am pretty sure they will work everywhere else but want to be 100% sure they work in Nigeria as well. Thus I have a digital copy of BioShock, I would like to test out if someone is interested in helping. All you need is a Steam account, broadband internet and 1GB RAM memory. Obviously the game will be yours as a token of your help.

Contact me if interested.

Cheers!

Would anyone with a Steam account be willing to help?

I have a collection of digital games that I am looking into selling. I have tested some out and they work perfectly. Issue is I am based abroad (UK). In order to make sure these work in Nigeria, I want to test a digital copy of BioShock, hence would like someone to download the copy to make sure it works without problem. Obviously the game will be yours for free as a token of your help.

Beginner's Guide to PC Gaming

If you're looking to start out gaming casually on the PC, there are a variety of computer components that make up a quintessential gaming "rig." The more one knows about the inner workings of a computer, the easier it is to make informed decisions about what parts are worth upgrading.

Here are the components that make up a gaming computer.

CPU

A CPU stands for "central processing unit." What it does is process instructions from applications.


The processor gathers information from a program and then decodes and executes the commands. Nowadays, processors come in dual core, quad core, hexa core and quad core models (2, 4, 6 and 8 cores respectively). If you're looking for a high performance system, a quad core or hexa core processor works well in multi-threaded applications. Speeds vary depending on model and voltage, but typically you want a processor running at a minimum 2.0GHz-- and 3 gig and 4 gig processors are even better -- to avoid a bottleneck in speed.


Motherboards

Another important component is a computer's motherboard. After all, the CPU, memory, and video card(s) all sit in the motherboard, also referred to as a mainboard. If you are building your own gaming PC, you'll want to look for a motherboard that has ample slots for the amount of memory you wish to use.

Also, if you plan on installing two or more graphics cards, be sure your motherboard supports SLI or CrossFireX (NVIDIA and AMD terms for multi-graphics card configurations).

Memory

This component is often referred to as RAM (which stands for Random Access Memory).


What computer memory does is provide space for data that can be accessed by the CPU. Modern computers typically need a minimum of 4GB of memory, although high end computers can support up to 48GB. The more memory you have the better. One aspect you'll want to consider when upgrading the memory in your computer is speed. But before you run out to purchase 1866MHz DDR3 RAM, be sure your motherboard supports higher speeds.

Graphics Card

A vital component to a gaming PC is the graphics card. This is the meat and potatoes of the visual experience when you run games. There is a huge selection of graphics cards on the market today from budget models that run around $50 all the way up to extreme multi-GPU solutions that can easily cost $600 or more. If you're just starting out playing games on your PC, look for a graphics card that has at least GDDR3 video RAM (GDDR5 is even better) and supports DirectX 11. Most, if not all, video cards offer these features.


Hard Drive

When you read PC reviews, you might hear the term SSD or RPM. What do these terms stand for, you ask?

SSD stands for solid state drive. This type of drive has no moving parts so it's great for laptops as these portable systems are often moved around while the drive is spinning, which can lead to file corruption and loss of data if you have a hard drive without shock absorption. SSDs also work well in desktop computers because they offer faster boot times and greater file transfer speeds.

RPM stands for rotations per minute. This figure represents how many revolutions the platter can spin in 60 seconds. The faster the RPMs, the better: 7200 RPM drives are common. On the other hand, SSD's retrieve and present data faster yet.

While SSD's are still expensive, one of them could be a good investment that will gig your rig current and state-of-the-art a little longer.

Conclusions

Remember, your first gaming PC doesn't have to cost a fortune. Technology has improved so much that even gaming systems with the new integrated graphics on Sandy Bridge and AMD APU chips can run World of Warcraft. But if you want to play games, such as Call of Duty and Crysis 2, you'll want a dedicated graphics card so you aren't left with slow performance and subpar frame rates. A graphics card will also help you run games with higher graphics settings and/or improve frame rates at lower settings.

On PS1 classics, does anyone remember the Rayman franchise?

Lana1:
unlike console games, there's no where to buy "original" hard copies in this Nigeria na.

Best bet are the digital online stores. Origin, Steam etc...

I'm not based in Nigeria but I've noticed during my short time on this forum that people seem to find it difficult to get hold of original hard copies so I was thinking that digital online stores would be the better option however wasn't sure how commonly used they were or whether people knew about them as I haven't seen much reference to them on the forum so far.

Your response has been helpful. Thanks.

An interesting concept but do you have a live site up and running yet?

I have legit digital copies (Steam codes) of Mortal Kombat X at a very affordable price: http://store.steampowered.com/app/307780/Mortal_Kombat_X/

As can be seen currently selling for $19.99 on Steam. I would be looking at $13.00 (N4700).

Hey guys, Happy new week..

Can I play gta5 on PC with 2gb ram?

I would say the minimum requirement would be 4GB but recommended 8GB.

What are the prices for xbox live subscription?

Hey,

I have Xbox Live Gold Subscriptions (3 and 12 months) for sale. PM me if you are still interested.

I was about to create a new thread but thought this place would probably be best. Just wondering but for all you PC gamers out there, do you tend to use a digital distribution platforms such as Steam, Uplay to get hold of your games or do you tend to buy hard copies from stores etc?

For those of you that are not familiar with the game. A gameplay review as of just 2 weeks ago.

LZAA:
smackdown oh man
i used to play it so i can see trish stratus (ehn we were all teens na)

Oh boy, no be you only ooo....hahaha

https://media.comicbook.com/2017/05/crazy-taxi-998862.jpg

One of my personal favourites and one of Sega's major hits. I can still remember spending hours on this game back in the early 2000's, whilst quite simplistic "aim of the game,has the player assume the role of a taxi driver who must accumulate money by delivering passengers to their destinations in the fastest time possible, earning tips by performing crazy stunts before the time runs out". I'm not based in Nigeria but I still remember taking the game to Nigeria and my cousins absolutely loved it. They would be playing it till 1:00am in the morning. The innovative gameplay design was ahead of it's time in my opinion. I still occasionally played the game on the Nintendo Wii some years back.

Just wondering if anyone else had fun times with this classic. Please share your experiences if so.

JhyMedex:
Oh..Aight Boss..dts y dey were asking for d license key..

No problem bro.

I am not familiar with cracked copies myself but there are those on this site that should be able to help you. Hopefully they are viewing this thread and will reply.

JhyMedex:

How do i get that

To get a legit copy of any video game via download, you need to purchase the digital copy from the online retailer, where you will then receive the licence key/code.

Nihilist:
Damnnnnnnnn

You just took me down memory lane circa 2001/2002

You got those years spot on bro! Great times indeed.

Jerrizzy001:
They gave me a website which I can't access due to no offers in Nigeria

So just be clear, technically you haven't purchased the game? Therefore, you are now looking buy a license key for the game, right?

This is the type of news I like to hear. This proves there is indeed a growing gaming community in Africa (Nigeria). Congrats!

A pretty useful thread, thanks for updating. Are you on any other social media platforms?

For anyone interested, I have digital download copies of [b]"Assassin's Creed: Origins - The Hidden One[/b]s" for sale on PC (Uplay). It does require you to have the base game (Assassin's Creed: Origins). PM me for further information.

Jerrizzy001:
I mean the license key

How did you retrieve the copy of the game? The license key for each copy will vary, so you need to contact the person/retailer you bought the game from in order to get the license key.
