More than a decade ago, the issue of requirements for running games was not a problem for most computers, and that is only because the games were not demanding, not only compared to the current requirements, but also with regard to the computer hardware at the time as well, so any weak or medium computer was able to Run major games smoothly regardless of frame rates and quality, which were anything but mediocre compared to today.
Years pass and computer hardware develops little by little, which allowed developers to develop more realistic games and therefore more demanding computer hardware, and with time the problem of gaming requirements began to appear as a result of the accelerating requirements for running games and the failure to keep pace with the hardware of weak and medium computers, and with the spread of the idea of acquiring computers dedicated to games, The requirements of major games are getting crazy, and we have reached a stage where running these games on weak computers may pose a threat to them, which we will present in our article.
The game may not run at all if your computer does not meet its minimum requirements:
You may think that it is the most intuitive piece of information you have heard in your life, after the impossibility of running GTA V through a calculator, even at a rate of a quarter of a frame per second, and it is somewhat like that, so I will not blame you if you do not complete the article and leave the site, but do not be reckless, my dear, because what I am going to say may help you When you try to try a game, your outdated computer did not meet its minimum requirements, not from near or far, thinking that it might work with the blessings of supplication!
There are some games that set minimum specifications with which it is forbidden to play the game on a computer with less than the required specifications, and this is only because the developer is ashamed to set minimum specifications that reveal his failure to make a game that is well compatible with “Optimized” hardware, to the extent that he may specify specifications He is not sure that it may work with his technically horrible game, but the game may not even work even though the minimum requirements are met, which leads us to other results.
The game may run at a lower frame rate than what the human brain would perceive as a movie!
There are two scales in the balance of performance, one of which tends to be at the expense of the other. Graphics and frame rate, and the game often automatically balances them when running on a weak computer that can’t keep up with its fancy requirements. But as soon as you try to raise one of them, the other will inevitably decrease, because it is simply not possible to fix the frame rate at a certain number that does not decrease from it, and there is a difference between what I am talking about and activating the “Frame Limiter”, which does nothing but set a frame rate barrier that the game cannot pass to mitigate To decompress the hardware, to save electricity, or perhaps to simulate owning a weak computer!
I will not assume the luxury of choosing between graphics and frame rate because that means that the computer meets the minimum requirements of the game, as is the case with almost any computer, so the frame rate is often unlocked in computer games. The problem here is for those who can only run the game at the lowest possible settings, and yet play at lower frame rates than the number of concurrent players in Babylon’s Fall. Can’t you imagine how ugly the number is? While trying the game to review it, I only found 27 concurrent players including myself, and the number later decreased to be one playerBy the way, the game itself was running at an average of only 15 frames, and I really don’t know why!
The game may run at a good frame rate if you are ready to lose your eyes!
You don’t always have to play at a very low frame rate like I said earlier as long as you can simply sacrifice the graphical settings or your eyes whichever is closer, so we decided to use Red Dead Redemption 2 to prove our point of having a more horrible visual experience than the graphics. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneIndeed, we have proven our point against polluting our eyes as yours has been polluted by this ugly graphic marvel!
The game was not running smoothly, so we wanted to reduce the graphical settings of the game, and we were curious to reduce the graphical settings as low as possible to see how high its frame rate would be, so the game ran at a rate of 120 frames on a laptop with a GTX 1650 Ti graphics card and a Core i7-9750H processor, and that was the worst What my eyes saw and what my brain processed, so I ask you not to repeat the same terrible experience so that you can read our upcoming articles with your eyes that I care about my dear.
The game may work, but it will give you an experience that is classified as a crime against humanity!
The difference between your computer’s specifications and the game’s minimum requirements may be a rock on which your computer’s hopes of running smoothly, no matter how insignificant the difference, even a single megabyte of graphics card memory or random memory. As I said earlier, the developer may be ashamed of setting superstitious requirements for his game, so he deliberately defines its requirements with specifications that he hopes will work well even if the experience is marred by some technical defects, and the game’s compatibility with the “Optimization” hardware may be disastrous, which adds a second factor that increases the ugliness Experience!
I don’t feel proud of what I’m going to say, but unfortunately I have good experience with disastrous performance experiences, I reviewed three of the worst games in terms of technical performance at the time of their release; Two games this year from Sony, and one last year from Square Enix, and if you guessed it, Babylon’s Fall! I remember that the game required a GTX 1650 or GTX 1060 card while my computer had a GTX 1050 Ti card, and the worst is that it is a laptop card with a Max-Q design, and despite the ugliness of its graphics and an attempt to hide its ugliness with poor oil filters, it suffered from technical problems, the most important of which is the instability of the frame rate And the game automatically closes suddenly.
Blue Death Screen and Graphics Card Burning:
The graphics card is often the scapegoat when running a game with requirements that exceed computer specifications, and the reason is that most games currently rely heavily on the graphics card compared to other pieces of hardware, which makes the requirements of huge games for graphics cards high, so trying to run a huge game on a weak computer With a modest graphics card, no matter how powerful its other components are, it is like a suicidal operation that may lead to the death of the graphics card burned! When the graphics card is about to burn or fail, the “Blue Death Screen” appears in Windows to warn you and restart the computer to save the graphics card.
I sure have had a terrible experience with blue screens of death my dear, most recently about a week ago while testing the PC version of Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart for review. The game requires a GTX 960 to run on the lowest settings, and since it offers about 15% better performance than a GTX 1050-Ti Max-Q, I decided to enable AMD FSR 2.1 to make up for the lack of specs. However, the frame rate was not stable and performance cramps began to appear with some technical defects, which was always followed by the game closing automatically, so I turned it on again to close after minutes, and so on, but in the last attempt the game did something new .. the game cramped completely and a screen appeared BSOD and the computer issued a terrible buzzing sound warning of the burning of the graphics card, but in the end the computer returned to work normally, so do not repeat my experience, please!
