You heard the title right. Let's go over specs, shall we?
Ol' reliable (my desktop) was starting to slow down on me but college was starting soon, so I actually went ahead and bought and gaming laptop for multi-use. I went with the Asus TUF FX505DU-WB72 which I got on sale, as it looked like it had amazing specs for the price. Here those are:
AMD Ryzen 7 R7-3750H
8 GB Memory
GTX 1660 TI
256gb SSD
I'm not some PC guru but I've built a few, and to me these sounded like great specs for under $800, or at least I thought. This laptop runs INCREDIBLY slow, from the time I unpackaged it from the box. I normally compare it to my desktop, which has a nearly 7 year old processor yet out performs this laptop in every way possible, my desktop specs are:
Intel core i7 4700
16gb ram
gtx 1060 3gb
500 gb SSD
Now anyone looking at this would assume the laptop performs MUCH better, yes? No, my desktop with those old specs and running 4 monitors out performs my brand new laptop in every area. Gaming, startup time, and just general use. The only area that I can upgrade on the laptop is RAM, (Which I now have in the mail heading my way). But there's no way something like that can slow me down that much, right?
Some examples are:
RDR2, demanding game gets about 30 FPS on my desktop, yet barely boots and just crashes on my laptop?
PUBG runs just fine on my desktop, I'd say 40-50 FPS? Yet I can't even load into a game onto my laptop, it just crashses.
And to be honest just general use, every thing on this laptop lags, I would even go to say my grandmas 10 year old AIO opens firefox faster than this thing
So what is going on??
I was going to wait till I got this ram upgrade, then I Was going to reset the laptop and make sure I had all my drivers, but I just thought I would make this thread now and update it as I tried things. Thank to anyone with some wisdom, this whole mess makes me worried to ever go Ryzen again even with what everyone is saying...
