Hi guys,
Apologies for such a noob question. I'm far from familiar with these internal workings of my computer (I generally assume it's a matter of spirit magic...).
I'm trying to figure out what my machine's graphics specs are, specifically in relation to playing games. Essentially, I have a stock standard dell laptop and in between working, I enjoy jumping on Steam, downloading a cool game and playing it. I generally avoid new games, because I'm sure my laptop isn't tough enough to handle anything too graphics heavy. When I try and compare my computer's stats with recommended specs, I often find different definitions for what is needed...
When I did my own investigation, I was told that memory was important... but my GPU-Z says 0mb....
I was also informed that GDDR5 is better than GDDR3... but I don't know what that means, or where to find it.
I also thought my GPU (GT2) might be multi? But the thing says multi is disabled? I can't decipher this sagely riddle!!
Can someone just tell me in Layman's terms what "console level" of game I should be able to play? i.e is PS1 my limit?
Boom,
Cheers,
EXP
