Whether you are an average person who performs basic tasks on a PC or a hard-core gamer, it’s fairly easy for anyone to boost their PC’s performance.
But what are the necessary changes that are needed for a significant boost in the performance and are also cost-effective? In this blog, we shall learn ‘How gaming booms, with just an upgrade in your PC.”
RAM
RAM is the easiest and most accessible PC upgrade you can make. It is also the most affordable upgrade you can make.
An upgrade in RAM delivers an instant boost in performance for any PCs that are running slow. For resource-hungry tasks; like video editing or gaming, the more the RAM you have, the better.
Graphics Card (GPU)
If you are a serious gamer, then it is crucial that upgrading the GPU should be your topmost priority. To experience better performance, PC manufacturers tend to go with integrated graphics cards rather than dedicated cards.
For some players, dedicated graphics are enough to play games like GTA San Andreas and Project IGI. But if you intend to play memory demanding games, then getting an Integrated Graphics card might be a better choice.
Storage Drive
There are two main reasons to upgrade your hard drive: running out of space, or you are looking for faster performance. Upgrading the physical speed of a hard drive is a good choice.
If the hard drive currently has 5400RPM, then upgrading to a 7200RPM model will give you a nice speed boost.
Solid State Drive (SSD)
The fastest option to enhance performance is getting a Solid State Drive. SSD uses flash memory instead of a spinning disk that is many times faster than a typical hard disk drive.
On average, a 5400RPM drive and a 7200RPM drive might achieve 100Mbps and 150Mbps writing speeds respectively, an SSD drive can write at speeds of over 500Mbps.
Processor
Upgrading a PC’s processor is the most advanced task than all the other upgrades discussed. Not only it’s physically trickier to install, it’s one of the more expensive upgrades there is and there are also compatibility issues to
worry about.
A processor upgrade is only worth upgrading if the upgrade is significant, like upgrading from i3 to i5.
These were some of the upgrades which would allow you to achieve better performance including greater frame rates.
