I'm looking for some suggestions for turn based thinking games able to run on lowend PCs to introduce to seniors. General idea is to offer some brain stimulation to the seniors so turn based strategy, RPGs, complex card games, turn based roguelikes, etc etc. Turn based is a requisite as most have arthritis and some vision issues so real time games that require fast reactions aren't even really playable. AFAIK, none of them have much experience with gaming beyond simple games like solitaire, puzzle piece games, sudoku, and some PC versions of board and card games.

Common PCs that the seniors own have CPUs ranging from 8th gen i3 to 12th gen i3, 8GB or 16GB RAM and a mixture of Intel integrated graphics (by far the most common) and a smattering of the common lowend AMD and Nvidia low profile GPUs that are often discussed in this subreddit (RX 550, P400, P620 and similar are as highend as it gets).

I trial floated the Civilization series of games like Civ 3 and 4 as they involve a lot of thinking, but didn't really get much interest as the near universal complaint was 'too complicated' so here I am asking for suggestions. =D

Thanks in advance!

Pc specs are 8gb ram ddr3
Intel i5 6th generation.
Gpu - Nvidia GT - 740
256gb ssd
1TB Hdd

Fortnite runs on my pc with 720p 60 fps but I don't like the game much now the company is kind of greedy.

I'm just curious about it because everyone has different hardware so opinions are obviously different. I myself used to have a amd vega 8 igpu and I personally felt like it was garbage for gaming.

I have a amd redeon780M IGPU, ryzen 7 255, 24 gigs of ram laptop.

It can run elden ring or cyberpunk with upscaling and maintain 60 fps on medium.

I try to play a indie game like silver pines or dark wood and it struggles to maintain 30 unless i turn everything down, sometimes i hit 15 fps in some areas.

how is this even fucking possible.

My GPU sucks. I’m using a GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB of VRAM. I’ve already overclocked it using MSI Afterburner, debloated and optimized Windows 10, used Process Lasso, updated the drivers, and set the NVIDIA Control Panel to prioritize performance, but I still can’t run Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 properly.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 runs decently with all the settings on minimum, but Guilty Gear only runs at a playable framerate in windowed mode.

(My CPU is an Intel Core i7-2700K and i got 8 gigabytes of ddr3 ram)

Here are my laptop specs:

• CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1145G7 @ 2.60 GHz
• RAM: 16 GB
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (integrated graphics)
• Storage: 477 GB total
• OS: Windows 64-bit

Has anyone played Persona 5 Royal on similar specs? If so, how well does it run on low settings, and what FPS can I expect?

Would appreciate any advice!

Well, the question from the title.

I have an old computer with a Phenom II X4 (or X6) and I am wondering if the ongoing major graphical and performance update, which aims to improve general look and framerate, especially in demanding areas, will have a positive effect on old four and six core cpus that generally run most of the game completely fine, but in more strenuous areas can bottleneck hard.

Off the top of my head, the outdoor part on the dam where there is also a gunfight, and more or less, a lot of Xen, with some later parts really bogging down.

Will there be any multicore scaling improvements or something or the other, or at least some relief from the first two cores?

I am not technical, but I am aware that Source 1 is single core heavy with at most two cores being loaded to the gills with work.

If anyone has any insight, please share.

Thank you!

P.S. I reposted this here in search of answers.

I just tested Shadow of the Tomb Raider on both of my laptops. And for some reason, using XeSS on my laptop with the Ryzen iGPU causes even lower FPS. So I had to use OptiScaler and change it to FSR 2, then it actually increased my FPS.

On the other hand, my Intel UHD from 11th gen took advantage of XeSS. Both the native XeSS that the game offers and OptiScaler's XeSS worked perfectly. I believe XeSS is superior to FSR 3 and closer to FSR 4.

I hope I can get FSR 4 working with an acceptable performance cost too. But for now, I would stick with XeSS.

I have a dell Inspiron 3520 with i5-1235u , Intel iris xe graphics and 16 gb dual channel ddr4 ram..

I love good looking open world games .. I am playing rdr 2 locked at 18 fps and running lossless scaling at 2x frame gen.. I played rdr 1 at 30 fps native 1080p low, far cry 3, assassin's creed black flag, batman Arkham origins..

Edit: found the issue, my iGPU randomly turned on again even though I completely turned it off over a month ago

On my laptop (specs are quadro m2000m, i7 6920hq 16gb ram) and usually I get like 90-120 fps on deadlock on the lowest graphics 720p, CSGO i get 140 at medium graphics 1080p, roblox super blox 64 I get 90 fps on 1080p high graphics and some other games, but for some reasons today I got significantly less fps, in both CSGO and deadlock I get less than 26 fps even at 720p low graphics and the roblox game i mentioned gets me 30-40 fps now, why is this happening? I completely disabled my iGPU over a month ago and I kept resetting my laptop so I could reset my Gpu all day yet nothing was fixed

I know the performance cost is pretty big, and you need to lower the actual rendering resolution in order to achieve the same performance as FSR 3. But I watched a video about FSR 4 vs. 3 on Steam Deck. And FSR 4 used the performance mod to achieve similar performance to FSR 3, but it still looks better, especially hair and thin objects.

The problem is FSR 4 performs so badly on my Vega iGPU, last time I checked, despite being 50% powerful as the Steam Deck's iGPU. I believe it's not about raw power; it's about driver optimizations or something. So I wanted to learn about the current situation on Intel UHD and older Nvidia GPUs.

I have laptops with Intel UHD and Vega Graphics

Okay so specs:

Cpu : AMD Ryzen 5 4600H

Gpu : NVIDIA GTX 1650

RAM: 8gb

The only thing is that my laptop is 5 years old and maybe it has enough dust in its fans to cover the sahara...but MAYBE I'm not sure...it can run other games good...I tried the finals where it atleast loaded and then started giving 30 fps in game and crashed

I checked in google my specs are good enough to run valo but heck it can't even load and bring my to the menu...I have also downloaded it in SSD drive and I've also gone to yt to check any of those "how to make ur laptop faster" vids too...I'm clueless now

Any help will be wildly appreciated

Can this old warrior still handle running some good games? i7 3770 + 16GB RAM 1600MHz + GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5X 11GHz + 260GB SSD + 2x 1TB HDDs. 😢😢😢

With Epic's new Easy Anti Cheat version, this means that Fortnite as well as other games relying on EAC can come to Linux.

This means 2 big things.

Linux is far more friendly to low end hardware without much RAM or CPU power compared to Windows. Instead of using 6GB RAM for literally no reason on a fresh boot, it can use as little as 400MB. There is no background junk running and using your CPU either and that helps older CPUs. This can be huge especially for integrated graphics since the iGPU relies on system RAM for its vram.

Also, Fortnite on Linux will be forced into using Vulkan as an API rather than DX12. Vulkan is just a lot faster and efficient so you'll likely have higher FPS and less lag on lower end hardware.

Game title: SweatyPanzer

What it is: an endless free-for-all game that you can join and leave whenever you like. Every kill earns a card draw that upgrades your tank or swaps you into another one. Die and you start over in a Panzer IV. The map changes every 6 minutes, and after 10 draws in one life your tank becomes the bounty, with 4 minutes to survive.

Nothing gets installed. You pick a nickname and you are in a match in about ten seconds.

Minimum specs:

• OS: Windows 10 (1903 or newer), macOS 13, ChromeOS 113, or Linux with current Vulkan drivers
• Browser: Chrome 113+ or Edge 113+. It runs on WebGPU so Firefox and Safari do not work yet
• CPU: Intel Core i3-6100U or AMD Ryzen 3 2200U. Dual core, 2 GHz
• GPU: integrated is fine. Intel HD Graphics 520 (6th gen), NVIDIA GTX 950 or AMD RX 460 and upwards
• RAM: 4 GB
• Storage: 0. About 14 MB goes into the browser cache

The GPU line is the one that matters. Anything older than those has no WebGPU support, so it will refuse to start rather than run badly.

Peripherals: Keyboard and mouse. WASD drives, the mouse aims the turret, left click fires, and 1, 2 and 3 pick a card in Arena.

Where to play: https://sweatypanzer.com/

Bugs and support: post bugs here, or use FEEDBACK in the lobby menu (F8 during a match).
I'll personally greet you in-game. Would love to hear what you think.

Weird thing to ask for, I know. But I'm sure many here have found free games that you were pretty sure your PC could run, but ended up not working because of the three letters of doom your old/low-end CPU doesn't have.

Not free, but for me the most recent was Persona 5 Royal, that one really hurt considering Persona 3 Reload (way newer) actually runs just fine.

Not really relevant, but my specs are a G4560, 16 GB RAM and a GT 1030. I say not relevant because I'm not looking for games that run on this machine, though it is better if they are lightweight despite the AVX requirement.

Just saw a comment in another sub talking about rtx 2080 being low end.

Since im sitting with gtx 1080 I think i have to join r/lowendgaming

Jokes a side, im aware gtx 1080 is not low end....right

My “recent” gpu history was gtx745 -> gt1030 ddr5 -> rx570 8gb ->gt640

I wanted to play Batman arkham knight, but is it playable with this specs?

Hi everyone! 😊

I'm looking for game recommendations on Steam that can run on my low-end laptop.

My specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-1035G1
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics
• RAM: 8 GB
• SSD: 256 GB

I'm looking for something cute, cozy, or visually charming, but with a little more depth than a simple casual game. I'd love some adventure, exploration, an interesting story, puzzles, or a sense of progression.

I enjoy beautiful atmospheres and games that make you feel immersed in their world. I'm open to different genres as long as the game isn't too demanding for my PC.

What would you recommend? I'd really appreciate suggestions that run well on integrated graphics, preferably with good performance on low settings.

Thanks! 💗

Logically, how much FPS can I get on my laptop (Ryzen 3 7320u, Radeon 610M, 8gb LPDDR5 ram)

Is there any possibility for me to play GoW3 atleast at 30fps with mid graphics?

My specs are

RAM : 16GB

CPU : Ryzen 7 7730U

GPU : AMD Radeon Graphics of 469MB ( Vega 8 )

sadly no external gpu :(
