Of course I’m not going to win an argument with my 16 year old “genius” grandson who knows everything about computers, but I’m hoping someone can get me pointed in the right direction.
He has a low end gaming computer. I forget the specs but we bought it 2 years ago from Costco and it did what he wanted at the time. Now, he wants to upgrade the processor and the video card. I’m trying to tell him that he’s not going to get the increase in speed he thinks and that the money would be better spent elsewhere. Elsewhere to me is a car, but sticking with computers, elsewhere would mean a new computer that’s dialed in for gaming.
My question is, is there a sight where I can put in his current equipment and get a baseline rating and then put in “virtually” his proposed equipment and see what the difference would be? Maybe I’m wrong, but I think the upgrade will be negligible. And, maybe a better bang for the buck is more memory. Not sure, but would like a way to model. Is there anything like that?
