Keeping up to date is important but forcing them on people is the worst idea in the sad, sorry history of bad ideas.

yeha

The driver disaster as a case in point.

Driver disaster?

Forced driver updates early on in Windows 10 broke just about every game.

Because bad driver updates happen all the time. Normally they're fixed before most people got them. But with forced updates everyone got them and their games broke.

This is why I'm still with Windows 7. Screw that noise.

It was so bad that they had no choice but to disable forced driver updates.

The 1050ti is a pretty decent upgrade over the 360, as far as I'm aware, yes.

yeah 1 time last year i updated my pc only to find all audio was disabled

i only have 4 gigs of ram though

Just get another 4gbs then. It's not expensive

wait lemme give u my full specs

4 gigs really isn't enough these days.

it's able to get you by, JUST barely, but it isn't enough

ill get an extra 4 gigs and if i still want more power il buy that card

8 GB usually is enough so long as you don't have a web browser and a game open at the same time. 16 is more than enough for most purposes. You only need 32 if you're really die hard with multi-tasking. No one program is going to use that much.

Mulitasking, heavy video editing etc. Power user type stuff

Not something the average user is going to need. And if you do need it, you're probably the one giving the computer advice, not asking for it.

Most likely.

I have 16gb and even THAT sometimes doesn't feel like quite enough at times

o wait

Video editing is the most basic thing I can think of that would make use of it.

i have 8 gigs of ram lol

Or using Chrome

Chrome uses so much RAM because almost every tab is its own process.

I know XD

This actually makes Chrome much more stable than other browsers. The high RAM use is the tradeoff.

Ture, true. Still kind of a hassle to get around

i have an i5 @ 2.7 GHz thats good for gaming right?

Depends on the i5. But generally, an i5 does well for gaming tasks

No matter the i5

For me, Chrome is worth it for one feature alone. The sandbox. In computer security terms, a sandbox is the process of a program cutting itself off from the rest of your computer and blocking all entry and exit from this sandbox requiring your express consent to save anything outside of it.

That means it's considerably harder to get a virus on Chrome than it is on other browers. Not impossible, but far less likely. But it won't protect you from being a moron and agreeing to download something that's obviously suspect.

I just think if you're able to get a virus at all through general web browsing, you don't know how to internet.

Keep in mind how many people fall into that category.

so wait if i already have 8 gb ram i should go for the gpu?

Hmm, I guess so

Go for the gpu, yes

ok thanks

The GPU usually is your limiting factor.
