The Power of Gaming: Understanding Graphics Processors and PCs

When it comes to gaming on your TV, there are several factors that can affect the overall experience. One of the most critical components is the graphics processor. In this article, we will explore the different options available for Xbox PC and PS3 users, including the importance of a good resolution and graphics quality.

One user asked about running games like Max Payne 3 or Dirt 3 on their laptop with a native resolution of 1080p. Unfortunately, the laptop's graphic processor, GT 525 by NVIDIA, is not powerful enough to produce good graphics for that resolution. As a result, the game's performance suffers, and the graphics are not as good as expected. This user was unable to change the graphic card on their laptop, so they were left with no option but to lower down the resolution.

This issue highlights the importance of choosing the right hardware for gaming. A powerful graphics processor can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. For users who want the best graphics, PC is the way to go. Even with a mid-range graphic card like NVIDIA 560 Ti, a PC-based system can produce better graphics than an Xbox 360 or PS3.

The debate about AMD processors versus Intel processors for gaming is ongoing. While AMD processors are indeed cheaper than their Intel counterparts, offering similar performance characteristics, the choice ultimately depends on individual needs. For gamers who want to use dedicated graphic cards, an Intel processor like an i5 is still the better option. However, for those who plan to use integrated graphics or a laptop with no external graphics card, AMD APU variants are actually more suitable.

Another user asked about the best time to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note. With rumors of a new Galaxy Note 2 launch in October, some users are hesitant to purchase the current model due to concerns that it may become outdated soon. However, the current Galaxy Note is still a great device with a dual-core processor and improved performance after receiving an ICS update. If you can wait until October for the rumored release of the Galaxy Note 2, it's advisable to do so, as the new model is expected to be more expensive.

On the other hand, if you're unable to wait, there's no harm in purchasing the current Galaxy Note, which is available at a great price. In fact, some users have reported that the ICS update has made the device smoother and more enjoyable to use. However, it's worth noting that the next-generation Galaxy Note 2 may significantly outperform its predecessor, so you'll be getting an even better device.

The current Galaxy S3 is also being marketed as a viable option for those looking to upgrade their smartphone. While some users have reported issues with the phone's performance, others have found it to be great and enjoyable to use. Additionally, the battery life of the S3 has been praised by many reviewers and users alike. In conclusion, each device has its strengths and weaknesses, so it's essential to weigh your options carefully before making a purchase.

Gaming on Your PC: Understanding Graphics Processors

For those interested in building their own gaming PC, understanding graphics processors is crucial. One user asked about the relative performance of AMD processors versus Intel processors for gaming. While AMD processors are indeed cheaper than their Intel counterparts, offering similar performance characteristics, the choice ultimately depends on individual needs.

When it comes to gaming, an Intel processor like an i5 is still the better option, especially when paired with a mid-range graphic card like NVIDIA 560 Ti. This combination offers superior performance and graphics quality compared to AMD processors or integrated graphics. However, for those who plan to use integrated graphics or a laptop with no external graphics card, AMD APU variants are actually more suitable.

In recent years, AMD has made significant strides in improving the performance of their APUs (Accelerated Processing Units). These integrated processors offer improved performance compared to Intel's integrated graphics options. However, they still may not match the level of performance offered by dedicated graphic cards or Intel processors like i5.

For users who want to build a gaming PC with an AMD processor, it's essential to consider the specific model and its performance characteristics. The latest AMD APUs, such as the Bulldozer and Piledriver series, offer improved performance and power efficiency compared to their predecessors.

Building Your Gaming PC: Choosing the Right Components

When building your own gaming PC, choosing the right components is crucial for achieving optimal performance. A good graphics processor can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. For users who want the best graphics, PC is the way to go.

One user asked about the importance of selecting a resolution that matches the capabilities of their graphics card. This is an excellent question, as choosing a resolution that's too high can lead to poor performance or frame rates. A good rule of thumb is to choose a resolution that's within the capabilities of your graphics card.

For users who plan to play games with lower resolutions, such as 720p or 1080p, they may be able to get away with using a less powerful graphics card. However, for those who want to play games at higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, a more powerful graphics card is necessary.

Another user asked about the best way to optimize their gaming PC's performance. There are several factors that can affect a PC's overall performance, including the graphics card, processor, RAM, and storage. Choosing the right components for your build can make all the difference in ensuring smooth gameplay.

In conclusion, building your own gaming PC requires careful consideration of various components, including the graphics processor. By choosing the right hardware and optimizing your system for optimal performance, you can enjoy a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi there and welcome to the 14th q a session so let's uh quickly get to them and the first question is from akshay arjun and he asked us hey ranjit help me to buy a phone with a good processor and a good gpu i have seen your review about galaxy s advanced and also checked out the samsung p3100 tablet that is newly launched please uh suggest me what should i buy tablet or the phone uh actually the first thing i want to tell you is that um the galaxy s advance is a phone and that has a four inch screen you can see my review for more info regarding that on the other hand this samsung p3100 tablet it's a seven inch tablet i haven't reviewed or tested this tablet but i just had a brief glance about the specs yes though this tablet supports uh what do you say uh cellular calls but i don't think so it is wise for you to use it like a phone this is a seven inch tablet for example the blackberry how would you look if you make phone calls like this so again first decide what is important phone functionality or a tablet functionality then i would say decide for me if it's a phone i would go with a proper phone instead of a tablet and also i want to let you know that google has launched this new tablet known as uh galaxy nexus 7. these are 7 inch tablets and they are have some pretty uh awesome configuration it comes with a quad core processor and a very what is a high resolution screen so i would say if you're just going to buy a tablet wait for some time because i uh frankly see a crash in the tablet market specifically the android tab flip market because the galaxy nexus 7 is priced just at around 200 yes i know that it hasn't been launched yet in india but it is expected to be launched in a couple of months and i hope google launches it with the aggressive pricing even let's say for around 15 000 or so it's a great tablet i hope this answers your question the next question is from karma99 and he asked us hello ranjeet what's the best nas do you recommend for home use again uh it's a very generic question i would say first chart down what are your requirements regarding an ass do you want a single bean ash dual bananas and i would say personally i like the synology nas i have tested the various nasus but i feel synology masses are very good and they are not just basic nas but also perform a lot of other functions you can check out some of my videos regarding synology to get an idea what all you can do with the synology nas and the best part about synology is not only that hardware is great but the actual os that they call is that this station from which you control the entire nas is very user friendly the next question is from renee and he asked us i love watching your videos ranji thank you i want to buy a phone that has a quad core or a dual core processor which phone do you think is good and do you think the smartphone prices will go down and by what time please help me i'm in great confusion again it's a very generic question uh ronish uh the thing is that let's say if a phone is just launched in the market this is specifically for an indian market generally i see the pricing to stay afloat for at least about 30 to 45 days for example let's take the case of htc one x when it was launched it was priced around 37 000 or so but now it's almost two months and now you can get that phone for about 33 or 34 000. so yes the pricing of flagship phones do come down but it's not the case always i generally see it happen with some of the models and generally if you wait for a while you can the prices go down for about 10 to 20 percent uh so again i would say if you have a budget definitely go for a quad core phone for example the galaxy s3 but if you do not want to spend that much for example the galaxy s3 is around 38 000 or so as of now but let's say your budget is around 30 000 or so we have great uh what do you say dual core phones you can also go for the older galaxy s2 that's also a good phone and also you can look at the some of the sony xperia p series phones they're also great i hope this answers your question and the next question is from sandeep and he asked us dear ranjit very recently i tried to play max payne 3 as well as dirt 3 on my dell xps l502x laptop through a bravia 32-inch led tv uh sunday we did not mention water resolution i'm assuming this where bravia tv has a native resolution of 1080p uh he continues the laptop has gt 525m 1gb graphics core i processor that is m2410 with 8gb ddr3 memory whenever i try and try running this game on the tv i'm not able to choose a good resolution also the graphics are not that great i just want to know how can i fix this also i want to know which one of the following xbox pc or the ps3 produces better graphics first let me talk about your gaming with your laptop as you have mentioned your laptop has the graphic processor that is gt 525 that's with nvidia again do note sandeep this is not a very powerful graphic card and when you're trying to run the what do you say games like max pin 3 or dirt 3 whatever on your led television that has a native resolution of 1080 1080p sadly this graphic card is not that powerful to uh produce good graphics for that resolution so definitely you have to lower down the resolution and that is causing what you say uh as you have mentioned the graphics are not that good sadly you cannot do anything about it because you cannot change the graphic card on your laptop so i hope that answers the question and coming to the second part of the question which is better in terms of graphics definitely the pc will produce the best graphics because even if you put a builder desktop pc with the i5 processor and put in a mid-range graphic card like nvidia 560 ti that will produce graphics any day that is better than the xbox 360 or the ps3 because the xbox 360 and the ps3 are comparatively very old right now so if you want the best graphics uh pc is the way to go i hope that answers your question and the next question comes from the para warrior and he asks i want to build a gaming pc and i noticed that the amd processors are much cheaper than the intel processors offering the same size architecture clock frequency and number of cores am i missing out on something or are amd processor really cost effective and better for gaming than intervals it's not a very easy question to answer yes the amd processors are cheaper than the intel for example if you compare the i5 with the similar amd processor the amd processor will be a lot cheaper but specifically for gaming and let's say you're using a dedicated graphic card i would go with a intel processor because uh it is again an i5 processor with a let's say again a mid-range graphic card that is nvidia 560 is better for gaming again yes on the other hand let's say if you are not going to put a dedicated graphic card in your desktop and you just are going to use the processor that is on the what do you say cpu then yes the amd apus uh are much better because even with the latest intel iv bridge the graphic processor is not as great as the amd apu variants i hope this answers your question and the last question comes from arch and he asked hi ranji this is a good time to buy a samsung galaxy note because everybody is saying that to buy the galaxy s3 but i think s3 is a total flop or should i wait for the note 2 which is to be released around october by rumors please suggest has the galaxy note become outdated as of now the thing is that galaxy note is a very good android phone it's a dual core phone but now i would say it's uh in the mid of its life it's been almost about eight seven or eight months since it has been launched and i have been personally i have used this galaxy note for about four or five months it's a great phone it's a dual core phone and the good thing about the galaxy note is that after getting the ics update it had become a lot smoother and i would say if uh you can wait for october time frame these are rumors that the galaxy note 2 will be launched during that time definitely wait but if you cannot wait i would say that you go ahead and buy the galaxy note right now uh because it's available at a great price again i am expecting if the galaxy note 2 launches also in october or whatever time frame it will be significantly more expensive again regarding uh you mentioned that s3 it's a total flop no surprisingly the s3 is being great and some of my close friends have purchased it and they are also very happy and the other good thing about the s3 is that surprisingly even though it's a quad core phone the battery life is amazing so i hope that answers your question so this was the 14th q a session the if you would like to ask me some tech related questions you can post them below in the comment section and start the question with the q a tag so that i know that i need to include it in the next q a session that's it for now this is ranjit from tech2bus.com and i hope to see you in my next videohi there and welcome to the 14th q a session so let's uh quickly get to them and the first question is from akshay arjun
