Hello. When playing games like Fortnite, CS:GO, and others, they struggle at high resolutions and I have to lower the settings to avoid lag. My computer has been with me for about six months now, and I have a decent monitor. The specs are an Intel Core i3-4170 CPU at 3.70 GHz and 8 GB of RAM. I’m looking for advice on how to improve performance.

Performance from integrated graphics isn't very good and is mainly for basic computer tasks like browsing, with only light gaming. The resolution being discussed is ideal if you're running 1080p and need higher graphics power than an integrated GPU can handle; otherwise, a dedicated graphics card would be better. A suitable card depends on your power supply.

The resolution being discussed is likely 1080p, especially if you're running modern games that need higher graphics capabilities than an integrated GPU can handle. A suitable graphics card recommendation depends on your power supply.

the range from 1920 x 1080 to 1280 x 600 results in performance issues

Is the 1280 x 600 resolution really sufficient? If not, consider upgrading your graphics card for better performance. Good luck!

You might be able to get a good FPS with decent settings at 1024x768, but otherwise it's about time someone sells their GTX1050Ti for around $95, which would really boost performance at 1080P.
