I'm doing an i3 4160 build to replace my gaming PC, and I was flabbergasted when I discovered that the iGPU blows my old card out of the water!!

Note that Radeon 5450 is an old and pretty low end video card, so if you have an Intel HD 4000 or newer, there's no point in using Radeon 5450, as it will be slower than the Intel graphics solution.Pavel Vladovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722328488450089609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553482533798017687.post-80951767417115975012015-10-23T07:05:28.969-07:002015-10-23T07:05:28.969-07:00Bro, I have core i5 processor with 8gb ram, and am...Bro, I have core i5 processor with 8gb ram, and amd radeon 5450 2gb gpu..

I was seeing the requirements of many new games like watchdogs etc, and found out that i had all the needs except dedicated video memory, which was only 32 mb. I have an available graphics memory of 1664 mb. Will i still be able to play these games?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292129503450462036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553482533798017687.post-50877576354567137032014-01-08T19:51:18.860-08:002014-01-08T19:51:18.860-08:00Savior!!

Skyrim is a heavy game, even my HP ProBook 4330s, which has a pretty nice cooling by the way, has throttled once for a few seconds at medium settings.<br /><br />Regarding the notebook cooler stands, they may have a minor to moderate effect on temperatures depending on your laptop's cooling system. In my case a quality stand decreases the temperatures by up to 7°C when the laptop is under heavy load, so do not expect miracles.<br /><br />No matter whether you use a stand or not, such high temperatures are not healthy for your laptop, so I recommend you further decrease the game settings, for example if you are playing on medium, switch to low or decrease the game resolution.Pavel Vladovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722328488450089609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553482533798017687.post-1870634144793370162013-09-15T07:30:34.728-07:002013-09-15T07:30:34.728-07:00I checked the temperatures and it is reaching 85ºC...I checked the temperatures and it is reaching 85ºC, those notebooks cooler stand does help avoiding this temperature ?<br />Luishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224101822997677516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553482533798017687.post-40768898476548394542013-09-15T01:03:49.561-07:002013-09-15T01:03:49.561-07:00Hi, Luis. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, I'm ...Hi, Luis. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, I'm not sure whether the Windows 8 Intel HD Graphics driver are the same. If they are not, Windows 7 drivers may be a bit more polished and optimized and thus provide a better experience. Here are a few more thing you can try:<br /><br />1. If you are using a third party software to measure the frame rate, disable it, as it may lower the game's FPS.<br /><br />2. Use a temperature monitoring software (Hardware Info for example) to check out whether your computer heats up too much during gaming. Excessive temperatures (85°C is the limit for the i3 2348m) may lead to throttling, which results in a sudden performance drop.<br /><br />3. I have done my tests in the first acts of the game. In late game when there are a lot of things going on around you, an FPS drop is possible. If that is the case, you may need to switch to the low preset to enjoy smooth game play.Pavel Vladovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722328488450089609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553482533798017687.post-55670307463476295252013-09-14T07:21:45.083-07:002013-09-14T07:21:45.083-07:00What OS do you use?
