Bump. So does the laptop I got just plain suck or have I not changed some setting which will make it good for gaming?
It sucks, sorry :TBump. So does the laptop I got just plain suck or have I not changed some setting which will make it good for gaming?
The lesson I learned will last a lot longer than the laptop.It sucks, sorry :T
You can try an eGPU setup and see if that helps, but laptops kind of suck...The lesson I learned will last a lot longer than the laptop.
I love Linux, but gaming in Wine is such a monumental pain in the ass that I'm not gonna bother installing Linux when I build my gaming computer. Getting some stuff set up properly on Linux is kinda satisfying, but getting games set up in Wine is just irritating.Switch to Linux... So you can't play a nice chunk of games.
Inb4 "B-b-but WINE"
Not in Undertale XDDoesn't matter how good your cpu or optimizing skillz are. You will ALWAYS get shit fps in any game.
I mean any game that's 3D or uses shaders/heavy light system.Not in Undertale XD
I got this really puny laptop, a Dell 3162, rocking an intel celeron n3050, 1.6 ghz dual core (with a 2.16 ghz turbo), 2 GB of DDR4 memory, a 32 GB SSD, and Intel HD 4000 graphics, and i can play games on it with relative ease, mostly older titles like Left 4 Dead 2 and Dead Space, but its still not "that" bad for 150 USD, if you must game on your laptop, or just want too in general, watch that video on low spec gamer's channel, as its an informative guide on how to survive with integrated laptop graphics
That's both disgusting and wrong. Gaming on Linux is absolutely awful in every respect while Windows 10 is like a Formula 1 car, and will get increasingly better thanks to the latest implementation of DirectX which minimises the overhead on OS-GPU communication to the bare minimum. It's the system of choice for gaming, especially if you know how to optimise it correctly and excise the unnecessary add-ons.While you may be right at some point. The OS won't change shit for the gaming performance. A couple of FPS at best.Switch to Linux. Windows 10 is cancer.
Oh I do not even argue about this fact. It was more of a general statement.That's both disgusting and wrong.

DirectX 12 is hardly a selling point in Windows' favor when Vulkan exists. Not that I'm trying to claim that the Linux gaming scene is fantastic right now, but it is starting to build steam.That's both disgusting and wrong.

The worst part is the price paid for this new laptop. You CAN game on a laptop, but performance will always be subpar unless you're paired with a true dedicated GPU. Also, an Intel processor in a laptop is usually better than an AMD "equivalent".

I can't envision a future of ubiquitous Linux or Mac support in a world where some 90% of household PC's run Windows. It's not exactly like the mobile space where iOS and Android actually do fight for dominance - in the PC scene Windows is king, it has been for decades now. SteamOS was supposed to shake things up, but I'm just not seeing it - it's just Ubuntu with Steam Big Picture on-top. Then again, each to their own - I just prefer to run software on the OS it was designed to run on rather than relying on WINE and crossing my fingers. Vulkan is exciting though, I'll give you that - OpenGL is way too bloated at this point.DirectX 12 is hardly a selling point in Windows' favor when Vulkan exists.

Not to mention that a simple API won't sway developers to all of a sudden add a new platform for support. If they can't see a market why would they bother. GPU drivers are also hit and miss, at least with Nvidias shallow support.I can't envision a future of ubiquitous Linux or Mac support in a world where some 90% of household PC's run Windows.

I didn't call Vulkan a DirectX killer, but just pointing out that the supposed performance benefits of DirectX 12 are kinda moot when you've got Vulkan. And Vulkan has the advantage of being supported on platforms other than just Windows and Xbox. It's a young API, but it seems to be getting a lot of attention. You want your game to run on Xbone, PS4, and Switch? Then Vulkan is the obvious choice.Starting to build steam as of how long ago, though. Vulkan is cool and all, but hasn't exactly proven to be the DirectX killer. Maybe in time.
Not to mention the fact that Nvidia has some awkward disdain toward Linux as a whole.
