Question Need an help with my i7 processor

[Ananth Kumar]

I have a dell Inspiron 5459 laptop. I have an Intel Core i7 - 6500U CPU @ 2.50Ghz. I use 4gb ram with 1 TB hard disk. I also have an 2GB of Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 and 2 GB of AMD Radeon R5 M335 dedicated graphics card. Is this configuration good enough to stream 4K contents as well as to play heavy graphics games.

PS: I don't know anything about the games. Just need to know if my system can high graphics or will it sruggle.

No, I don't think the laptop will handle it at all...

Is that Windows 10? The once time I used Windows 10 with 4 GB of RAM, it was an abysmal experience I tried it with a Dell two years ago....

Additionally, it is a laptop CPU, and the 2 GB of VRAM could only come at the expense of system RAM, and you can spare none as it is is....

Yes. It's windows 10 home

For what you want to do is possible on an Ryzen 2600/2700 or 9900k + 2080Ti + 32GBram. Your laptop is not up to task im afraid.

4k is very demanding and integrated graphics is not on the performance level required.

Well, i'm not sure but that isn't a high end laptop so i would say no. 4k require a high end gpu and cpu (60 fps on ultra settings). As well as other components.

The integrated has hardware support/acceleration for playing 4k but websites do not use good solutions so watching a 4k stream from online will depend on the provider.
You will also be ok with running demanding games as long as you are ok with lowering some settings.
Streaming your gameplay at 4k will be hard even if using your GPU to do it but I don't think that's what you was asking.

Is it possible to upgrade my laptop in anyway without changing the processor. Maybe replacing the existing graphics card. Also, will there be any noticeable differences, if in case, I add an extra 4gb ram (not sure though if that is actually possible in my board inside).

 

[korv]

Graphic card? No. Ram? Yes

edit: What's your budget? i can make a pc for you that is powerful enough to run any games at 4k (low-high settings).
