Bad CPU or Bad GPU

[PwnCaiks101]

I want to play a game and I checked the system requirements for Dota 2 on my PC and my laptop,my PC has alot better GPU then my laptop but has a terrible CPU. My laptop has a alot better CPU but the only thing wrong is the GPU has 64 mb and the required is 124mb.

The question is should I use my laptop to run it or the PC to run dota

Really need accurate specifications here, brands and model numbers. Also, why can't you try it on both and decide?

It will take a long time to download it on both

That's why you have to post your hardware information here, so we can tell you before you have to do that

Neither are great haha.

The laptop has a dual core with a higher clock speed. The desktop has a single core with lower clock speed.

The laptop has integrated graphics whereas the desktop has a dedicated (although pretty poor tbh) graphics card.

The Laptop has 4GB of RAM and the desktop has 2GB of RAM.

Honestly, I don't know what to say. I think you'd have to try it on both to know. I'm guessing the laptop would be better, but I can't be sure. I don't know how taxing Dota is on a GPU/CPU.

Because its very easy to go shoppnig for high end gaming PC's with no money

You don't need a high-end one, it's just that the one you have is very very outdated. You have a single-core low clocked CPU in that desktop. An i3 which is just a dualcore can perform decently in today's games and they're quite inexpensive. However at that point I'd go with an FX 6300 since you'd need a motherboard upgrade anyway. As for the graphics card you could get a 7770.

Anyway, I understand how it is being strapped for cash the guy was just trying to help so don't bite his head off. 😀 Those^ are just some recommended ones if you ever do stumble across some spare cash and you wish to upgrade.
