My Computer Specs:
CPU: Intel Core 4130T Dual-Core with Hyper Threading
Processor: 2.9GHz no turbo 3MB
GPU: GTX 860m 2gb GDDR5
Memory: 8gb DDR3L 1600mhz (single channel)
OS: Windows 10 64bit
Storage: HDD 500gb
Ive had my gaming computer for around two months, so im not too knowledgeable on optimizing my computer for games besides tweaking some graphics settings in the menus.
So what im asking is what can i do to get the most out of my computer to improve my gaming performance.I know my computer is on the low end so i dont need any reviews on it or need to know why its bad, what i want to know is what the computer gaming enthusiasts do to get the most out of their computers, to squeeze out every ounce of frames that they can without sacrificing too much visual quality, and to keep their computers running smoothly for a long time. I mean it cant be as easy as just turning on your brand new computer, making sure windows and the drivers stay updated, tweak a few graphics settings and then play games, there must be programs you download or other computer settings to move around to keep the computers at their max potential.
Just to clarify i know the limitations of my computer(somewhat), i just want to learn how to best maintain and use my new and crappy gaming pc, tips that i can use in the future once i upgrade to something better.
