You will have NO problems with however gorgeous 2D graphics. It is when we talk about 3D with all new frills turned on on a big screen (or high refresh rate) that you will run into the need to lower your settings.

My advise: next time, buy a PC from a reputable company that assembles from individual parts. A lot of "brand PCs" (HP Pavilion in this case) aren't made to be upgraded. Often the power supply or case won't be able to handle higher end graphics cards.

What you have now is comparable to a (recent) laptop, tablet, phone. They're meant to be replaced by a newer model if the old one doesn't fit your needs anymore.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks teceem:)

And to make it clearer...your hard drive...1TB = 1 Tera Byte = 1000 GB = 1000 Giga Byte.

nvm

OMG, I'm having a cow, LOL!! I need a bigger boat for this game!! LOL!! Oh, it's fabulous, but it is really gonna tax my brain which is a very, good thing:) I'm just laughing and staring at the monitor, this is just fabulous!!

what is HOGs?

how old r u?(not trying to attack you in anyway)
atleast learn/know the basic of how a computer works/components, understanding bytes/bites size aswell, Kilo bytes(KB) is the smallest > Mega bytes(MB) > Giga bytes(GB) > Tera bytes (TB)

if you're going to be a gaming person then u'll have to learn alot more

many people drives cars without knowing every bit of details but knowing the basic helps

Hidden Object Game. You know where they have scenes full of random clutter and you have to pick out the objects from a list of names? At least that's how they started, now most HOGs have full on adventure game elements and logic puzzles as well. I don't think GOG has any, but there are plenty on Steam, such as the ones by Artifex Mundi. Big Fish Games has even more.

Wow, going from hidden object games straight to Stellaris, one of the most complex strategy games of recent years, is a bold step for sure. Respect!

same, never heard it used before anywhere

Umm... Bit is the smallest since it's only 0 or 1. One Byte is 8 Bit, One Kilobyte is 1024 Byte and then so on: 1024 KBytes = one Megabyte, then Gigabyte, Terrabyte, Petabyte (IIRC...).

I learn something new every day, but as long as I'm not trying to get in a game with Multi players and drive them crazy with my lack of expertise I should be ok. I'll just be driving myself crazy, or not;) I'm 65;)


Some of my faves are the Dark Parables series. They have FROGS (fragmented object games) and they are fun as well. They aren't as technical as the "gamer" games of course, but I have had a lot of fun with them.
Well, I hope I can earn that respect, but I do know the only way I'll fail is if I don't try. I've always been sort of the "hands on learning" type of person so we'll see how this goes. Someone mentioned driving a car, and I learned when I was 8 to drive an old jeep out on 40 acres. My mom just turned me loose out there and I can drive pretty much anything there is to drive.

It still doesn't mean I can learn Stellaris, but I won't find out in here talkin about it;) Have a great day, and it's been neat seeing how many friendly folks are here, denise

Huh, I haven't heard that term before, but looking it up I've encountered these types of scenes in some HOGs (or HOPAS or whatever you wanna call them) but Artifex Mundi and the like. It does make better narrative sense to search for pieces of an object to put together rather than 20 unrelated objects of which you only need 1 to proceed in the story.

There's no shame in liking casual games. And even in some of these there are often logic puzzles/minigames that I find plain too hard and either get through trial and error or just end up using the Skip/Hint button. Things like this.
