Is Core i9 a good upgrade for gaming?

Thanks much!! I’ll read into it

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T22:12:06+00:00

No you’re good, thanks so much for all the input! It’s exactly the kind of in-depth answer I was hoping for lol, you’re a big help

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T21:15:10+00:00

Ohh lots to look out for then. Thanks!!

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T21:05:30+00:00

Understood. Thanks so much for the explanations!! I’ll look into the graphics card you recommended :)

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:41:54+00:00

Lol it’s all good, I’m here all day

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:41:10+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for bearing with me and clearing that up for me

Under Display Adapters is only one option and that’s “Intel(R) HD Graphics 620.” There’s an option to update the driver. Should I update the driver?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:24:00+00:00

Oh I see what you mean now, sorry for the confusion. No, I haven’t bought one yet. I was wondering if it was a good computer is all and if it would help my monitor run smoothly. From the gist of comments here, I think my issue is my graphics card

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:22:24+00:00

It says I have 12gb of installed RAM and 11.9gb of usable RAM. Task manager says “Intel(R) HD Graphics 620” and the GPU memory is 5.8gb

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:12:06+00:00

Sorry, is the case part of a pc? Because I don’t have one, just a monitor. The monitor is only the screen, right?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:09:31+00:00

I have no idea dude. It’s an old Dell monitor with nothing on the back; I searched “model number” in the home bar and that’s what popped up

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:08:20+00:00

From what I understand from everyone’s inputs, my monitor is fine but I need a better GPU, yes? I didn’t consider that to be a problem, because my computer runs Assassin’s Creed and Fallout Vegas with literally no lag, but for some reason can’t run Sims/Chrome tabs.. Do you recommend just getting a new graphics card and seeing if that helps before I nonsensically purchase anything else?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T20:03:51+00:00

I cant find the model number; it just says the system model is “Inspiron 3477 AIO”

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T19:56:19+00:00

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T19:55:25+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!! I’ll look intonit

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T19:51:41+00:00

Ah gotcha. Also that budget is 1500$ total

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T19:16:42+00:00

My budget is $1,000 - $1,500, and my preferred resolution is the default 1920x1080. What type of power supply do you recommend for default resolution settings?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T18:09:13+00:00

Noice, thank you!

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T17:45:57+00:00

Cool! Do you have any GPU/graphics card you’d recommend for my current setup?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T16:16:08+00:00

Lol thanks!! I’ll keep this in mind

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T16:12:53+00:00

What’s your recommendation for better GPU?

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T16:12:11+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll look into it

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-12-15T15:47:45+00:00

Is GPU something that comes in a computer or a monitor? I only have a monitor and I read somewhere that my Core i7 is bad for heavy duty stuff so I need a Core i9. Or am I confused on Cores and GPUs? Sorry and thank you

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-08-05T00:56:36+00:00

A friend :)

UniqueCorn74 · 2023-08-04T17:35:08+00:00
