Do your pc is strong enough to run newer or half-newer games?
Mine can't run some half-newer games like gta v and probably won't even run doom 2016, but can run half-old games like gta iv, tf2, cs:go (it's the only source engine game that i have on low), cs:source, doom 3 and even garry's mod, and the reason why some newer games like gta v can't run it's because i have an intel core i5 with only 6 gb of ram, yeah, not enough to run this game, i even was forced to get an settings.xml archive that reduces things like shadows, shadows are probably the thing that makes the game really laggy in some pc's, of course still lag sometimes but is playable, tf2, cs:source and garry's mod even if they are in default graphics settings, is still pretty optimized, hell i can even run goldsrc games like cs 1.6 or tfc, because they are old, duh.
And what about you? Do you pc is strong enough to run newer or half-newer games? |
I can run newer games, so long as I turn down the settings. Mad Max ran pretty good at lower settings, same with GTA V (about on par with the PS3 version) and that's fine by me!
Despite 'lower' settings, they still both looked great. I don't get the need to run everything at super HD levels that so many crave. Looks aren't everything, so long as it runs and looks fine to you. |
Can pretty much run anything at decent graphics and put up consistent 144 FPS

Well, I'm sure that as settings continue to skyrocket, in due time even the lowest settings will probably not run well, but I'm not there yet. The most lag I've had is trying to run something is on complicated emulation. Like a PS2 emulator, which is tricky enough to run. I think you'd have to have mega power to get those games to play super smoothly, if it's possible at all. They were playable, but noticeably choppy and even frustrating at times. Not had the issue for actual games made for PC yet though. |

It does not. My computer is too old for new games to work.
|
My comp can play some MMOs, and some JPRGs, but I have to turn the graphics down.
It can't play newer games like Overwatch very easily, which pisses me off, because I bought it, and tried to play on low settings, and it worked but barely... |

It was so ancient too, it never could've played anything past a PS1 era game until the video card got replaced. That's the only reason it could handle GTA anything. Hilariously too, it only had about 32 gigabytes total memory and yet I still tried GTA IV on it, when that game was almost that entire size! Oh man that install progress was a comedy of errors, haha. And after all that... Only the text showed up and it barely worked at all. |

What is CS:GO?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with it. |

But also, there is some other games that run alright in your pc besides mad max? On both, your old xp computer and your new windows 10 computer |
It can run certain PS2 games.

My laptop has an i5-6300HQ and GTX 970M, so whilst it could certainly be better by current standards I can run anything I want to pretty comfortably, and some higher-end games too if I make a few compromises with settings that I probably wouldn't even notice.
...but more important than that, it has a customisable backlit keyboard. |
I don't have a 144Hz monitor and I play at 1080 instead of something fancy like 1440 or beyond, but mostly every new game runs at a steady 60 for me unless it's horribly optimized. I'm pretty happy with my pc. It wasn't overly expensive and I built it myself years ago
|
I think so? I play FFXIV just fine, even when clustered together with a bunch of people in a small map. I've a MacBook Pro 2017 with touch bar which isn't exactly known for being a stellar gaming computer (it is a Mac haha, though I do have a Windows partition...) but the specs are fine and it does well!
|
Mine can play pretty much anything at max graphics. Its less than a year old. Has a i7 7700k and a GTX1080, I must admit the only game that really pushes it is rainbow 6 siege, other than that it handles anything easily.

My computer is so old that I’m lucky to play my games at Medium graphics. Circa 2009/2010 with hardware that is several years prior(like 2007/2008). Despite it’s age, it can run Civ 6 but I rarely ever try to push it for fear of Hardware failure(its old goddamnit).
Besides... I’m waiting on things such as this to come down significantly in price along with DDR5 RAM(I have DDR3 and we’re on DDR4. Whether or not RAM will even be needed in the future is the real question but DDR5 is a quantum leap over what I got), Volta GPU and waiting on CPU’s to finally hit 10nm Lithography(Intel has been pushing it back for years). Figure by the time I’m ready to buy new components in 2020, technology will have advanced and dropped in price to where it doesn’t break the bank. |
Nothing special because Intel HD 4000 is poor. Can't even display PS2 games properly, although I can emulate some things just fine.
|
I haven't actually tested the limits of what my computer can do (most is maybe trying to run WoW in ultra, which it can do easily enough), but with the tech it has I would hope it could run newer games well enough.
|
My 2012 laptop can run Guild Wars 2, which is safe to say the most "intensive" game that I regularly play.
Recently, I randomly bought Risen 3 through a summer sale, and I suppose it does lag sometimes, so perhaps it still ought to be fine with regards to most games. |
It'll last me a few years more lol! The 1050 ti is decent enough to be honest, would only upgrade the GPU in a few years.
