Upgrading a normal PC for game development @ Rs 15k

[Icosagon]

i5 (8th generation)

What is your i5 model number in laptop? and do you feel laptop performance is enough for you with your workload ?

The laptop is very great the only problem is the battery depletes very fast . The laptop seems to work with no lags, but in GTA 4 it feel like fps is dropping
And sometimes the PC freezes when using some 3d models in Unreal Engine 4

Poorly optimized game on a crap GPU has that effect.

Are you doing heavy modeling?

Always use the laptop on AC power unless you can't find an outlet.

I'm using the tutorial assets with high graphics and lags only when using a specific model in it.

@whitestar_999 (or anyone who uses UE4), any suggestions here? I'm not into 3d modeling/rendering.

I'm asking an off topic question.
The reason for upgrading my PC was because my laptop accidentally fell off the table and the display broke. Is there any Acer service centre in india that replace the display ????. I seems as if there is no repair center in here.

Buddy, frankly sell that laptop off after repairs and get a proper desktop assembled for work. 20k for entire config won't even get you anywhere close to your laptop's performance.

For the rendering purpose you really need a power cpu which is at present is difficult in your limited budget. your best bet is to find a used intel core i7 3rd gen from ebay,olx,aliexpress etc and use it with your current configuration. you dont have to change your motherboard and ram then. You must get a good PSU preferable atleast corsair cx450. not sure about the graphics part.

 

[Icosagon]

Okay are there any processors having good integrated graphics.
My Intel i3's HD Graphics 2500 can at least reach 512mb -1000mb graphics memory.

Integrated graphics are good for display output only. For most intensive tasks, it is foolish to depend on them.

The lag in GTA 4 only worked in some places, I can take the benchmark of the both systems using GTA 4.

Focus on the issue at hand now. Benchmarking will waste your time. Get the screen repaired and sell the laptop off.

15k is very low budget for building a PC for 3D modeling and game development.

 

[whitestar_999]

I don't use gfx for games,I use it for madvr though it loads the gfx card similarly to a game.I wouldn't recommend anything below a quad core & a 1050Ti for serious 3d rendering.Also a laptop is a bad idea for long duration usage for such tasks unless you sit in an AC room 24*7.

1. My main purpose of this computer is game development and 3d rendering/ Modelling

2. My Budget is 10k to 15k, maximum is 20k

3.Theres Turbo Boost in Intel processors and same technologies in AMD

4. Windows 10

5. 200 GB to 1 TB

6. No need, I have a LG monitor which is 1366 * 768 and supports only VGA

7. I want Motherboard, CPU, Graphics Card, PSU,HDD. I can reuse my old HDD and ODD. RAM is not compatible I guess.

9.I guess I could assemble a PC by reading the instructions in the digit's fastrack on assembling a Pc.

10.I live in Kerala, Ernakulam and I plan to buy online

Budget -31K

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G -8500,
Asus Prime B320M Plus -5000,

Logitech MK200 -1000.
TOTAL -31,000.

^ Not good enough for OP. Don't go on recommending anything just because it suits OP's budget. He might not get the expected performance.

 

[Nerevarine]

Need to increase budget, 3ds max is a heavy workload application. Unreal not as much.

 

[Icosagon]

Hello guys
These are the recommended Pc specifications show on Unreal Engine's website

• Desktop PC or Mac
• Windows 7 64-bit or Mac OS X 10.9.2 or later
• Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 2.5 GHz or faster
• NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher
• 8 GB RAM

 

[Icosagon]

I think I can't use 3ds max because it's not free. I will use another alternatives.
No need of much graphics. I only need that Unreal Engine to work.
