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

2017-02-19 12:47:28 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:47:37 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:47:53 UTC  

i only have 4 gigs of ram though

2017-02-19 12:48:15 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:48:18 UTC  

wait lemme give u my full specs

2017-02-19 12:48:18 UTC  

4 gigs really isn't enough these days.

2017-02-19 12:48:48 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:49:31 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:49:34 UTC  

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.

2017-02-19 12:49:59 UTC  

Mulitasking, heavy video editing etc. Power user type stuff

2017-02-19 12:50:29 UTC  

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.

2017-02-19 12:50:48 UTC  

Most likely.

2017-02-19 12:51:11 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:51:27 UTC  

o wait

2017-02-19 12:51:29 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:51:35 UTC  

i have 8 gigs of ram lol

2017-02-19 12:51:41 UTC  

Or using Chrome

2017-02-19 12:52:12 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:52:23 UTC  

I know XD

2017-02-19 12:52:33 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:53:10 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:53:57 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:54:19 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:54:26 UTC  

No matter the i5

2017-02-19 12:54:42 UTC  

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.

2017-02-19 12:55:34 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:55:51 UTC  

Keep in mind how many people fall into that category.

2017-02-19 12:56:05 UTC  

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

2017-02-19 12:56:07 UTC  

Hmm, I guess so

2017-02-19 12:56:15 UTC  

Go for the gpu, yes

2017-02-19 12:56:22 UTC  

ok thanks

2017-02-19 12:56:36 UTC  

The GPU usually is your limiting factor.

2017-02-19 12:56:51 UTC  

When you fail to meet a game's specs, GPU usually will be the offender.

2017-02-19 12:56:58 UTC  

my current computer can barely run ark

2017-02-19 12:57:20 UTC  

Neither can mine. ARK is just a mess when it comes to optimisation

2017-02-19 12:57:25 UTC  

but can run overwatch on high settings fine

2017-02-19 12:57:40 UTC  

I haven't had any trouble with the games I've tried.

2017-02-19 12:57:54 UTC  

The main problem I've had is that my hard drive seems to be considerably slower than it should be.

2017-02-19 12:58:04 UTC  

will i be able to run gta 5 with my current build?

2017-02-19 12:58:13 UTC  

It hits 100% disk use very easily and usually the OS itself takes that up.
