[@Kazz7420]

You know Tim, the idea of playing an AAA game at 640x480 and lowest settings on weak hardwares, is really something that has been lost to the times. Back in the day, I've seen KZbinrs trying this stuff on outdated hardwares, for the attempt of making a game playable against all odds. And while their endeavours werent't all successful, it's really endearing to see the hardwares being optimized to their fullest, while also being amazed what these machines can do with so little processing power on board. Thank you for bringing it back in 2024, in the age where everyone and their mother are spending thousands of dollars just to play games at 4K, max settings and with ray tracing.

[@JudeTheYoutubePoopersubscribe]

I'm guilty of spending way too much just to be able to max out games at 1440p and still have a super high framerate. I don't miss the times of having to play GTA 5 at 720p lowest settings and disabling shadows just to get 25fps.

[@pauls4522]

I used to have an Asus laptop with a Haswell Core i3 and an Nvidia Geforce 930 with 12GB of RAM and SSD. It's not a powerhouse for sure, but I used it a lot and it helped me graduate.

Another interesting idea for CPU bound titles is to cap the framerate. Since the CPU and GPU share the same power/thermal budget, reducing the load on the GPU should theoretically leave more juice for the CPU to boost.

You and Kliksphilip’s tech videos inspired me to pursue a career in computer repair and general fascination of computer hardware. I had a similar experience with another HP that I had the same prospects for. A salvage laptop that a buddy donated to me that he bought for $20. Sadly I could not fulfill my dream because the motherboard was damaged beyond repair but this helped me not feel alone with wanting to make the best of a simple machine.

My first venture into PC gaming was on an old Toshiba satellite from 2011 I got for Christmas with a cheap AMD board. A by the numbers simple laptop made for school and office work, back then I knew jack about CPUs, GPUs, integrated graphics etc. But I remember playing so many classic PC games like Deus Ex, Doom, Half Life and having so many hours playing minecraft on 4 GB of ram.

[@EdCayo]

The ending got me, those were some deep words about affordable technology. Growing up my parents didn't believe in high performance machines, but rather bought the ones that got things done (homework and media consuming) but I used to put them to their limit with all sorts of games, your words made me realize how greatful I should be for having the chance to experience those games with what we had, that 2005 celeron Toshiba laptop gave it's all so that I could feel part of the gaming comunity back then

[@louisqueneau6140]

these laptops are really cool. they are functional, and if you understand their limitations, they can be very effective. I find gaming laptops garish and obnoxious. they are huge and have flashing lights. with my gaming PC, my personal laptop is small netbook with a great keyboard and a 6 watt celeron. it runs excel and web browsing no problem, and has insane battery life. You are so right about low end hardware. Also its amazing to see how far low end hardware has come. even in the 2010s, the tier of netbooks or k-12 oriented low end laptops were no where near what they are now.

Sadly, I feel like it is dying on me, I will be sad to see it go...

[@r34ztune11]

I had a similar HP laptop but with a 3500u with 4 cores and 8 threads. It came with the same shitty Toshiba drive and 4GB of RAM. Out of the box, that 3500u was completely choked by the 3.5GB of RAM and the awful hard drive. The laptop felt slower than my outgoing Asus with a quad Celeron and a SATA SSD. Upgrading to 16GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe drive made a shocking difference. That machine is still very snappy to this day.

In many of these benchmarks you appear to be getting limited clocks because of power limits. I'd love to see a follow up where you use a tool such as UXTU (Universal XTU) to increase the power limits to 20-25 watts. I've had good results doing so on Ryzen APUs (though be careful, you can overload the boards VRMs so I wouldn't suggest going over the stock limit by much more than 10 watts.)

[@timr.2257]

3:19 Today I learned Canada uses the Japanese flag and uses pounds 💀

[@SaraMorgan-ym6ue]

you should also learn that most prebuilt laptops and desktop computers come with single channel ram as in one stick of ram because one stick of ram is 2 or 3 dollars cheaper then two sticks of the same amount of ram which is how hp dell and all low cost pc makers do to save thousands of dollars on the sale of their systems by doing this and Ryzen suffer from this big time in performance as ram bandwidth affects the cpu and gpu performance so the ram upgrade does affect ram bandwidth as well as increasing ram capacity this is why his upgrades make so much of a difference in overall speed💀💀

I think there's a fun opportunity to revisit if it's possible to do a bit of power tuning. That 15W is going to be split between the core and GPU. I do wonder if while gaming the Vega 2 is demanding more power and taking up the thermal budget thus starving the CPU cores. Looking at some of the gaming handhelds like GPD, Aya, Asus etc there are tools out there allowing for adjusting the TDP of the chip. You might have to look at the cooling as it will have been specced for the laptop running at 15W TDP. Of course battery will take a hit but a fun experiment non the less.

Really good video, keep up with the good stuff! It's crazy how a RAM and storage upgrade can make a computer sufficient for one's needs again. I myself have recently upgraded my laptop from 12GB of RAM (stock was 8: 4 soldered, 4 an a stick, I had already swapped the 4GB stick for an 8GB) 500GB NVMe SSD, to 36GB of RAM and 2TB NVMe SSD. Some have wondered about why I decided to put so much into it, but the thing is the APU is perfectly enough for what I'm doing with it (R7 3700U). All I needed was a lot more storage and a lot more RAM because I like to keep lots of apps running as well as virtual machines. Btw, the manufacturer said the 12GB was the max for it but it has been doing perfectly fine on 36GB and it can, of course, make use of all of it.

Appreciate the video but I would’ve had suggestions.

There is a unpopulated M2 SSD Even though the Sata ssd are more accessible I probably would’ve recommend just finding a M2 SSD. I do even think HP sells 128 GB for about maybe 20-30€ if you know where to look and last is overclocking I am aware that the cpu clock are locked but maybe you could get some more clocks on the gpu that could increase performance anyway love your video just want to give feedback

I bought an used HP laptop recently as well, cost me just a little over $250. It has a 1TB SSD and Ryzen 5 5600U, but the memory is the weak spot at just 8GB. Fine for browsing the web, but a bit sluggish when playing most modern games. Like with your laptop, I can bump it up to 32GB. At $70 USD, that would be a fairly affordable upgrade get my Laptop into peak shape. Only thing is I never upgraded a laptop before (have upgraded many desktops though). Based on what I see in the upgrade segment, I may need something to help pull open the bottom easily. What exactly is that tool, and is it cheap to acquire?

[@thegeforce6625]

Every laptop is different in how it’s built, and how to take it apart for repairs and upgrades, the complete opposite of practically every desktop in existence. So in your case, I’d go looking for a model number on the machine and look for the maintenance manual, or there should be a little door held on by a few screws on the bottom of the case, or you may need to take the palmrest and keyboard off to get to the insides, as I said, every laptop is different so it’ll take a bit of trial and error.

What you said at 8:34 is literally how my PC I am on right now goes. 5700XT. 3700X. 16 gigs of DDR4 RAM. Running off a WD Black HDD. I click, and I have to wait for the HDD before the start menu appears, or anything. I ran this with two 6TB WD Blacks. 1 for the OS & footage, and 1 for games. I use turning it on and opening any program as an excuse to go downstairs and get something. My new gaming PC I jumped to a gen 5 NVME SSD for the OS with DRAM. And a DRAMless Gen 4 NVME SSD for games (it was a gift). 7800XT and 7800X3D. 64 gigs of DDR5 ram. I have always had to build my PC around the GPU for maximum performance. This time around I got into AM5 on gen 1 and built for longevity and upgradability where only the GPU & CPU would ever need to be replaced, and maybe a new SSD could be added if it was in the budget. I am still on 1080p though XD The jump to 2K is an expense for another day. I imported 1 of those 6TBs for footage and game pre-installs, and I record to it (while it does nothing else) and transfer it to this old PC for editing and messing around. Got a 5TB external WD black p10 for transfers while I record with the newer GPU encoder. That thing is half the speed of the bigger HDDs lol, but any SSD was 2x the price and I was already over budget. It's a nice and convenient little drive though.

[@Stinger2578]

I've had a Toshiba 5TB drive in my machine since I built it in December 2018, but this PC also worked with an Intel Optane, so that helped responsiveness. I currently use it for storage/some game installs that don't require an SSD. Maybe it runs slower RPM for power-saving being a laptop drive? Edit: Looking at your original GTA V benchmark, the CPU was running at 1.6GHz and the GPU was running at 400MHz which were probably more likely the cause of the issues.

[@ErchGlitched]

A DirectX->Vulkan wrapper like DXVK may improve performance of quite a number of games, even if you're playing natively on Windows... Maybe laptops as limited as this one would benefit of it.

[@MedicMain9]

Watching Tim losing his mind over that busted HDD was me back in 2019. My then "new" laptop came with a standard HDD that went haywire whenever Windows booted up, and it got worse the more I used it. Like Tim, too, I was tempted to add 32gbs of RAM to give that poor machine some breathing room but nope, it only got up and running for real when I chucked a SSD into it. It's been running smoothly ever since, and, unlike then, it's able to upload an KZbin comment without frying out.

[@Scornfull]

The lack of RAM was probably what was holding this system back the most though, with a modern install of Windows 10 you'd be pegged at nearly all of your RAM so Windows will try to offset that by using the page file from the hard drive, but it's rare as hell to see the CPU being the bottleneck instead of the GPU on a laptop like that

[@ruikazane5123]

Curious if it can be overclocked...that thing scrapes quite close to dirt before the RAM (probably using the HDD as RAM swapfile) and the SSD pushed it ahead further. AMD basically recycling what would otherwise be scrapped silicon, or as an Intel foundry would say - "every die wants to live". Does that laptop really didn't have a NVMe slot? I got myself a Precision 7510 when my Toshiba laptop (2004, Pro M30) finally gave up, and the VAIO (2006, VGN-SZ) no longer have a working keyboard. A huge upgrade! It got the fastest i7 of the time (6920HQ, the first of the Lakes) with turbo disabled because of overheating, a Quadro M2000M that has been VBIOS modded to unleash its otherwise Dell limited performance (power limited to 33 watts!) and currently has +100MHz on both base and boost clocks. Also made the iGPU vanish with a surprisingly available setting in the BIOS...the Quadro is the bottleneck in games like GTAIV, and it is still on a hard drive. I could actually do 64GB with the four RAM slots...32GB is well enough for now!

[@charizard4410]

I wonder how much difference just the ram or just the ssd would have made. With only 4GB of ram, it was definitely hitting the hard drive for the page file over and over, and the smr nature of most 1tb 2.5" hard drives, it was causing a lot of the issues. But upping the ram would have alleviated some of this issue by not having to access the hard drive, and if instead of upgrading the ram the ssd were upgraded, hitting the ssd for a page file would be much better than hitting the hard drive.
