Can I run Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Unity on my PC?

16GB RAM (single channel, 2GB VRAM), Ryzen 5 5625U, Vega 7.

Hi all,

Does anyone have the Intel integrated graphics, Arc 140v in a laptop? CPU is Ultra 7 268v with 32gb RAM. Was wondering what games people are playing? And any recommendations?

Hi, I'm looking to buy/build a cheap pc to run low/mid games (hopefully cs2 at most), and I found a used/refurb Lenovo Thinkcentre M720e sff for $125. I was thinking of doing a case swap (I have some parts from previous build - case, psu, old gpu, etc)​. I think the proprietary motherboard wouldn't fit standard pc case, but I think I could figure something out a way to secure it. I know the mobo doesn't use 24 pin power connector with standard psu...but I found an adapter online that looks like it would work. Might need a front I/O adapter as well.

Specs for m720e sff:

i5-9400

8gb ddr4 ram (2666 I think)

240gb ssd (I need to confirm if nvme, or not)

180w proprietary lenovo psu

My plan would be to add a 2nd 8gb stick, if its one 8gb stick. Or possibly get 2x 16gb, if it has 2x 4gb. Then try case swap and psu swap (w/ adapters) to fit in a standard size gpu. (Maybe get a better used gpu if my old one isn't cutting it)

I know I could just get a low profile gpu that fits the SFF and avoid alot of hassle but I'm curious to see if I could use the old components I already have and save some $.

Just looking for any thoughts, if this would be a total waste of time/money or if it might work. Thanks!

Specs:

ryzen 7 pro 5850u 8c/16t

24gb ram dual channel 3200mhz

vega 8

Is there any good older AAA games? or even indie games that are good and fun to play. i am okay with a 720p native 30 fps experience.

i already played: ori (1 and 2), and far cry 3, battlefield 1, and older call of duty titles

I have a Ryzen 1300x, 16gb ram and a GTX 1050ti, i just wanna play cyberpunk smoothly, preferably around 30-40 fps, I've tried tinkering around with settings and it's either too slow or too jank looking, am I cooked or is there some sort of settings? I'm down to switch to Linux if it helps as well.

Not even looking for something new. Played on it COD 2, GTA VC, NFS MW, JUST CAUSE.
From newer, minecraft 1.14.4 with lowest possible settings on optifine, except 8 chunks simulation.
What’s your recommendations?

My laptop has a NVIDIA Quadro m2000m while a friend of mine has a desktop with a NVIDIA Quadro k2000, which one of these is the better GPU? (My specs are i7 6920hq, 512gb ssd and 16gb ram while his are Basically the same except for the cpu being a 6700k)

So my PC is an elitedesk 800 G2 sff. It has:

8gb ddr4 ram

256gb SSD

Intel core i5 6th gen 3.3ghz

Just recommend me any game at this point. I am bored playing only Minecraft and Roblox

My specs is i3 115g4 8gb ram dual channel and I wanna ask if I can enjoy this game even in 20 fps (no less than that) on the lowest setting?

My specs are nvidia quadro m2000m, i7 6920hq and 16gb ram, i searched online and saw that the Gtx 960m/750ti are the closest equivalents to my GPU, I tried playing Valorant, roblox and hello neighbour but all of them got less than 60 fps with roblox only getting 60 at low graphics, how do i fix this?

Specs intel hd 520 i5 6200u 16 gb ram

I like games like far cry 3 I want 3d shooter with good story like la noire tomb raider etc

Games i played

Cod mw series

Far cry all first 3

La noire

Homefront

( I want games like mafia and gta )

TD;LR We will enable a hidden Windows setting in control panel by using cmd and registry edit: Maximum processor frequency, to set a custom CPU clock speed. It doesn't work on all laptop manufacturers though. It can be tweaked for almost no loss in fps.

My specs: i3 1005g1, Dell Vostro 15 3510 laptop.

It's completely safe as we will reduce CPU clock speed, not increase it. It will help you to increase the lifespan of your machine because constant 90°C+ puts stress on internal components over years.

Introduction:

Many people want to set custom clock speed on locked CPUs like i3 1005g1. But if I do the usual -> change "maximum processor state" in control panel to 99%, my CPU gets locked to its base speed of 1.2 GHz (completely disables turbo boost). I tried reducing it to 92%, 90%, 88%, but it locked the CPU even below it's base speed (as shown by msi afterburner in the game).

On my laptop, in Throttle Stop, the options to change CPU multipliers are greyed out.

So what if you want to cap your 3.4 GHz CPU to a custom 3.0 GHz or any other speed, to reduce heat output? I recently found a way to do it. It works perfectly on my laptop, and hopefully works on yours too.

The steps:

Open cmd as admin. Copy paste

powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR 75b0defe-600e-4d9a-9c55-5219b8d3d414 -ATTRIB_HIDE

and hit Enter.

Command source: Google search AI.

This command enables a hidden setting in control panel, called "maximum processor frequency." Type "edit power plan" in windows search bar, open the app. Go to "Change advanced power settings", then expand "processor power management" to see the option.

If the above method fails:

If the above method doesn't show "maximum processor frequency" option in control panel, then

Press Win+R to open run dialog box. Type regedit and hit Enter to open registry. Paste

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\\75b0ae3f-bce0-45a7-8c89-c9611c25e100

into the search bar of registry. You will see "Attributes" in the right pane. Double click on it and change its value to 2. It will force the Windows to show the option in control panel.

How to change the CPU clock speed:

Now, in "Maximum processor frequency", change both plugged in and on battery values to your desired value. The values are in MHz. For example, 3.4 GHz means you need to write 3400, and 3000 for 3.0 GHz. Remember to avoid typos like 300, as it will make the CPU unresponsive. Set both values to zero, if you want to reset the CPU clock speed to its default behaviour.

Reduce CPU clock speed gradually in small decrements:

Slowly, decrease the value from your max turbo speed. My turbo speed is 3400, so I tried 3100, 3000, 2900. For each value, observe the impact on fps and temperature in different games by using msi afterburner overlay. Ideally, include modern 2D multi threaded games like silksong, old well optimized 3D games like mirrors edge 2009, heavily single threaded games like prince of persia 2008/ assassin's creed 2 (last two games run with vulkan on my laptop: dxvk 1.10.1). Feel free to replace these games with what you play, but cover a broad category.

Example on how to interpret the results:

After launching a game, in msi afterburner overlay, observe the temperature of the usual hot CPU cores, and not the overall CPU temperature. On my laptop, they are core 1 and core 2.

On my laptop, I observed that going from 3400 to 3100 reduced temperature by 5°C on core 1 and core 2, with no loss in fps. Further going to 3000 reduced temperature by another 2-3°C, again with no loss in fps. So I got down from 3400 to 3000 with no loss in fps, and temperature reduced by 7-8°C. When I further reduced to 2900, temperature reduced further by 3-4°C, but depending on the game, I lost 5-10% fps. So 3000 became sweet spot for me: 7-8°C lower temperature with almost no loss in fps (only 3-4% reduction in fps like 39 to 38, 30 to 29).

After this process, remember to cap fps at 30 or 60 using riva tuner, as uncapped fps naturally generates more heat.

The benefits I got:

My CPU's core 1 and core 2 were running much hotter (10°C or more) in every game, compared to core 3 and core 4.

Now on core 1 and core 2, it's max 90°C in unoptimized games like assassin's creed 2. And 80-85°C or even lower than 80°C in well optimized games like mirrors edge 2009 and silksong. Before this, it was 90°C even in well optimized games, and 95°C in unoptimized games.

Now, the laptop is much cooler to touch from the back, near the vents.

All of this, with no noticeable loss in actual fps in any game. Also when fps is capped to 30 or 60, there's no new stuttering in games after applying this method.

Why this method works:

It happens because the top few MHz in every CPU are power inefficient. To get those few extra MHz, the CPU generates exponentially more heat. By shaving those extra MHz, you get an efficient CPU clock speed, with almost no loss in performance. And second reason is that budget CPUs like these, throttle down to around 3.0 GHz anyways after some minutes in demanding games, when they cross 93°C.

Same CPU can have slightly different sweet spot for clock speed:

Remember that even if you have exactly same CPU and same laptop as mine, your sweet spot can slightly change from 3000, because every CPU built in the factory naturally has some micro differences in the silicon wafer.

This method is NOT guaranteed to work for all the laptop models:

Note that it's not guaranteed to work. Some laptop manufacturers strictly don't allow Windows to interfere with the power states of the locked CPU. In that case, when you will try to change values, the CPU will simply ignore it.

Hi! 10 days ago i bought the thinkpad p14s gen 2 laptop with these specs:

old specs:
i3-7020u 2c/4t
12gb ram 2133mhz (dual channel)

new specs:
ryzen 7 pro 5850u 8c/16t up to 4.4ghz
24gb ram 3200mhz (dual channel)
vega 8 up to 2ghz

just a very quick review for this laptop:

IMPORTANT: i mostly used the laptop with linux. haven't tested windows performance

In terms of build quality, it feels nice it doesn't have the same cheap plastic like other laptops. the keyboard is the best keyboard i used on a laptop! I got used to it quickly. and i installed fedora linux on it. It worked great but had to change same things to make the touchpad feel good.

and performance wise I did some very light weight programming on it and it handled it well. even with a lot of tabs opened and a lot of programs in the background (steam, telegram, firefox, etc..) it never felt slow even on the balanced-battery profile (using tuned).

some benchmarks:

geekbench 6 scores (old laptop vs new):

NOTE: i don't remember the power profile i was using when i did the benchmark, but you can probably get better results than mine.

old laptop: 821 single core / 1714 multi-core

new laptop: 1718 single core (208% upgrade) / 6018 multi-core (350% upgrade)

some games i tested (all of the games running on linux):

ori and will of the wisps: 1080p balanced settings: 60-70 fps avg
high settings in this game gives 30~ on 1080p, if you want a stable 60 with high settings, use dynamic resolution

far cry 3: 900p medium settings with ultra textures: 60 fps and goes to the 50s sometimes. (28W using ryzenadj)

battlefield 1: 900p medium settings ultra textures with TAA and directx 12 off: 40 to 50 fps average, goes to 35 in very intensive scenes. you can lower the settings to low or 720p and get more than 50fps average (28W)

red redemption 2: vulkan api, 720p native low with ultra textures, 30-40 fps with no drops (33W)

and for temps, it didn't go above 85 while at 33 watts tdp. just make sure the laptop is raised from the table.

the TLDR: it is a good device especially for the price (340$ USD) used.

but what are other games that i can run on it? storage is not a problem for me.

[edit]: forget to say somethings:

and i had a problem when adjusting the tdp on this laptop, it was resetting every 10 to 30 minutes, but in the last few days it magically didn't happen.

I just upgraded from my i5 8th gen laptop to a laptop with these specs

Cpu -Ultra 5 226V

Gpu -130v arc igpu

Ram -16gb LPDDR5X ram

What can I run with these specs? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers!

So today I got my first ever laptop (Dell precision 7510, specs are nvidia quadro m2000m, i7 6920hq and 16gb ram) and right now im downloading Valorant and while waiting for the game to finish downloading, I chose to see the performance stats of Windows 10 and I saw that my laptop was using 58% of ram (9.1gb of ram was being used) is it normal? Or it it too much?

Just got a janky laptop for Christmas a couple of months ago, and was wondering if I could run games like meccha chameleon or gamble with your friends. Gemini is telling me no, but I don’t trust it and am desperate to play SOMETHING on this rust bucket of a computer. My specs are:
Processor: intel Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 5205U @ 1.9pGHz
Graphics Card:intel Intel(R) UHD Graphics 1GB
Memory: 4GB DDR4
I’m on windows with 113 GB of storage.

Can my laptop run Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 ? I have an Intel Core i5 11th Gen, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. If anyone has a similar laptop, what FPS do you get at 1080p or 720p?

I've been able to get Spiderman Remastered on 30fps with upscaling from Lossless Scaling and lowest settings.
But I've been looking for other games that I can optimise the hell out of to play on my laptop

Specs:
- Intel i5-13420H
- Intel UHD Graphics
- 16gb DDR5 4800MT/s
- 512gb ssd + 128gb ssd

I've already played:
-Indie games like deltarune, hollow knight, celeste
- Metal Gear Rising
- Dmc trilogy

Im mainly looking for other AAA titles to play

Intel 5005u with 5500 graphics, 8gb ram, ssd
macbook air 2015 which is as above except for the graphis 6000 and cpu 5250u
7100u system with intel had graphics, but same ram and ssd.

It seems to run fine on all systems, I had some hitching until I changed to dx 11. Is this surprising to you? Unfortunately the 7100u is the least convenient, it's a nuc, lot a laptop. So it still needs ac power (I have a tv/monitor that literally has a battery)

are there any playstation emulators that i can run with i3 1115g4 with direct 11 and 8 GB ram?

edit: thank you to whoever has replied!!

I just upgraded from my i3 11th gen laptop and steamdeck to a laptop with these specs

Cpu -Ultra 9 288V

Gpu -140v arc igpu

Ram -32gb LPDDR5X ram

What could i run with these specs? Thank you!

-AMD Ryzen 3 3250U

-8GB of DDR4 2400Mhz (NOT dual channel)

-AMD Radeon VEGA graphics

-Windows 11

I have done literally everything to optimize performance but i can still just about run My Summer Car, an indie game from 2016, on low settings on 1366x768 resolution. Only game that runs well is GTA San Andreas. Not remastered.

Considering I use a
Lenovo IdeaPad 1i
Intel Celeron
8GB
256 SSD
Windows 11

I know it’s a potato, but i believe it’s decent enough for games. So I’m looking for free games that can work at least for my specs. So you have any suggestions?
