Hey, I have a specific computer setup here. The processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.33GHz, and it's on an ASUS P5LD2-X motherboard. The graphics card is a Sapphire Tri-X OC Radeon R9 280X with 3GB of GDDR5 RAM that has 384-Bits. I also have 2GB of Kingston DDR2 memory running at 800MHz, but only about 3.37 GB works because the chipsets limit it. My hard drive is a Samsung HD250HJ with 250GB storage spinning at 7200RPM, and I'm using a Gigabyte P650B power supply rated for 650W with an 80+ Bronze certification. This thing runs Windows 11 Pro in a 64-Bit version. What games can this setup handle? Thanks so much.

You have a good GPU right now. The R9280X is much faster than the 1050Ti, but you are holding back because of weak RAM and CPU. Don't worry about lag; there will be some delay, but you can still have a fun experience playing at 720p with low settings. My advice is to try out some popular games like Overwatch or Rocket League, CSGO, etc. Start by lowering the graphics settings in-game. ___ edit: if you like fighting games, Granblue Fantasy will work great on your PC too. It works fine on my LG A 775 system that only has 4GB of RAM.

Lots of independent games can fit on this system too. Some of my favorite ones are Stardew Valley and Terraria. They both need pretty little things to run them.
