Solve : Advice for my computer? |
|
Answer» http://speccy.piriform.com/results/pPGE8VNFifrKobYbKF5DszZ This is my current build. I made this about a year ago and am not at all getting the performance I expected. For example, on a bad day my computer will run SLOWLY on hearthstone. It can STILL play games that are bigger but on the lowest settings, and even then with some difficulty. Any advice on changes I could make or even slight upgrades? Thanks! Also, I have almost no understanding of the internals of a computer, so speak to me like I'm 80.was it 'disappointing' right from the get-go? if not, maybe a 'nuke from space' and start afresh may be beneficial (a bugger I realise but the best chance of success). otherwise the only areas I would consider would be an increase in RAM (quick and relatively cheap) and/or increasing the CPU MHz (either some over-clocking or a newer processor). other avenues to investigate - some SSD's suffer speed issues over time, have you run an optimise process on the drive, that is, run a TRIM? not sure what you have or haven't tried, and although you state you know little, you did build the rig, so if anything needs further explaining, just ask.Hi skips, It seems you are using the mother board graphics instead of having the monitor plugged into the graphics CARD. Using the graphics card should make things display faster. Dear moderator , My above post has been waiting for moderator approval for nearly 24 hours how come ? Do you not BELIEVE the solution is so simple ? If you check the speccy report you will find that the monitor is attached to the intel 530 controller (CPU ) and there is no monitors attached to the 1050. Hence the recommendation of swapping the video connections. I hope as this has been waiting approval, Skips hasn't spent time and money on Marks advice. huh? I'm confused.... is there is disconnect in the flow of posts here? Mark. I apologise to you and the moderator, My last post wasn't meant to be seen by all. It seemed like the only way to get my original post authorised.Unfortunately while it sort of looks like otherwise, Speccy doesn't indicate what Graphics cards the displayed monitors are attached to. It lists the Monitors, and then the graphics ADAPTERS. For example, on my system it lists both my monitors, then it lists my Integrated Intel GPU, then it lists my 1070, but both my monitors are attached to my 1070; it just happens that it lists my Integrated Graphics first. That said, since it doesn't indicate it at all, It could very well be that the Monitor is attached to the wrong Graphics Port. Definitely worth the OP confirming it is indeed attached to the graphics card, as using on-board graphics would certainly explain the disappointment! |
