My laptop having performance issues with games.

[Venexis]

Toshiba is literally the Nokia of laptops. My last one was hit by falling objects, frozen, kicked, bent, drenched, power surged, restored three times and disassembled more times than a jigsaw puzzle until it was ultimately done in by battery glitch during shutdown. Goodnight, sweet prince.

10/10 would absolutely recommend.

For real though your specs should be able to run the game just fine. 4GB RAM should be sufficient for almost anything you would conceivably do on a laptop- most people would prefer to use their gaming rigs for modded Skyrim, or any complex rendering stuff that might need more. Regarding RAM use, high doesn't always mean bad. Many programs will attempt to take as much as they can get, for instance. It's far faster and easier for a program to "hold on" to some extra RAM in case you do something that needs to utilize it than it would be for Program A to notice there's not quite enough resources to run at max efficiency, run over to Program B, and ask if it can borrow some instead. I can't speak for the Last Legacy application as I haven't tried it myself, but it may just be attempting to gather as much unused RAM as possible... why not? It's not being used by anything else at the moment, and then if something happens that requires more, it's immediately available for use by the program. (In fact, the ideal situation is one where almost all RAM is being being used. Your operating system and applications will take what they need, and any leftover would be split in case one program suddenly needs more.)

I'm not 100% sure if this is entirely correct, my forays into Minecraft modding projects dealt with RAM allocation and similar topics a lot but it wasn't exactly my main focus. Feel free to yell at me if there's any errors.

also have accurate gif of graphics cards

honestly I was poking fun at all the rich kids who have like nvidia+++++ quickscoper edition and overly-powerful computers

But tbh HP isn't the best choice for computers, radeon is okay I guess.

Toshiba/Asus are good manufacturers if you're strapped on cash, regarding laptops anyway.

I have the Nvidia GeForce 750, which isn't the highest in any of Nvidia's graphics card line, though it gets the job done really well, and it was at least $100 cheaper than the 760. As long as you don't care for the super-hard-core next-gen bit-mining (assuming people still do that) graphics processor that will let you use 8 monitors at once, then getting slightly older/smaller models can work just fine, and they can be much cheaper (as I stated before). They're still going to be in the $100s, but for someone like me, that's much better than the $350 that some of the newest cards go for. I can't say much for the Toshiba/Asus brands, but from what I've heard you'll get the value you pay for.

Then again, this is a thread about a laptop, which is much harder to find the appropriate parts for upgrading. Not impossible, but not entirely worth it IMO.[/computerrant]

I'm aware. I use laptops myself. :>

And now I'm being haunted by Antimalware Service Executable hogging up to 100% of my CPU randomly.

I spent hours looking up answers on Google, but I can't seem to find a clear solution.

Is it a program you installed? If so, then uninstall it.

Windows Defender has something to do with it, but I can barely understand what's going on in the discussions about this issue.

Lord, help me.
