Laggy Games

Hello, The games i play on my pc are very laggy. They are Fallout New Vegas, Bully Scholarship Edition and Minecraft. The pc is a Compaq Presario CQ-62 402-AU with these specs: -500 GB hard drive -windows 7 64 bit -2GD RAM -AMD V140 Processor, 2.3 Ghz -Directx 11 -Video Crad: AMD M880G with ATI mobility Radeon HD 4250 (drivers fully updated) How can i make the games smooth and not glitchy or laggy.stennent

Thank you very much, can you give my a rough guide on how to do those things, I dont really care for minecraft that much but it is the only one where i can change settings like that. Also is there and hardware under about $150 that isnt that hard to install that will fix that problem like RAM.stennent

I was going to tell you to go to hardware forum, but since console exclusive threads usually don't get locked, I want to support some off-topic threads.

on the menu screen, where you can start a new game or continue the game, there's a "setting" option, click it and you can do graphic configuration.

with your system, you should just turn everything to the lowest possible. if the game is playble, turn some up to medium and so on.

you have a laptop or desktop? if a laptop, forget about upgrading, additional ram won't help you much.

if a desktop, a better graphic card would help...how much help, well, depending upon your budget.

And my pc is a laptop so then there really is nothing much i can do.stennent

yes, your system isn't made for gaming; it's for the routine PC task: web browsing and word processing.

I did all that just then and everything was already lowest except i turned of V-sync and now runs smoothly about 3/4 of the time. And my pc is a laptop so then there really is nothing much i can do.stennent

That pc is ancient, that's why you can't game on it.

It has a laptop 1 core cpu with old ass architecture clocked at a low frequency with an onboard card.

Only way to fix this is to not go to the city dump to find your next pc.

Wow and I thought my laptop was horrible...

well with that processor speed you can run...er...terraria? Well okay maybe it's not too horrible but 2.1 Gz is a very low processor speed (my laptop is 2.6 my desktop is 3.1), only real way to get those games to run better is to buy a better laptop.
