Any recommended games for my graphics card + how to make games smother - facing lad and screen shattering when I play CS:GO with game mode on!
You're viewing a single thread.
The GT 730 is a very low power GPU, it is even slower than many newer integrated graphics. I'm assuming you mean you have an i5 12400 CPU since you also have DDR5 RAM, which is a good CPU on a modern platform. You should really upgrade you GPU and maybe also upgrade to 16GB RAM as many games require 16GB and having 2 sticks of memory also improves performance by running in dual channel.
I'd bet it is a typo stating ddr5, not on the CPU model. 8GB sticks of ddr5 are rare enough to find as singles, and 4gb sticks basically don't exist - makes more sense if it is a DDR3 system. Plus, the GT 730 is basically only barely a graphics card, a lot of them are Fermi based chips (like gt 400 series from 2010)... They are dirt cheap video output for a machine that otherwise wouldn't have any video out, but they get packaged by less than honest companies/people with other old hardware and marketed as "gaming computers" all the time unfortunately.
Ubuntu is not the limiting factor to this machine gaming, unfortunately. It is going to be choking itself on basically any games from the last 10 years :(
