Its not the monitor that matters when playing games, its the computer. Find out at Can You Run it? to see if the computer itself can handle the game. If it can't it will also tell you what you need to upgrade in order to play the game. If your computer is really old, who cares? As long as it has a VGA cable or some cord needed to plug into new graphics cards then your good. If you face the fact that you do have to upgrade your graphics card then don't forget to check what type of card your computer can use (PCI, PCI-E, or AGP).

build it your self. in case you want e mail me on yahoo solutions and that i will provide you the specs i replaced into going to apply to construct an outstanding gaming gadget of roughly $seven-hundred-$800 and not using a visual demonstrate unit. that could be a Phenom II X6 (6 cores LOL) equipment with a very in a position midrange photographs card (Radeon HD 5770) probability is which you will spend a minimum of $1500+ for a matching equipment from HP or Dell. in case you build it your self you will earnings wisdom approximately how a working laptop or laptop works interior. So if there's a undertaking you will no longer ought to run to Dell or HP or have a working laptop or laptop restoration keep charge you $5000 for a undertaking you may desire to sparkling up on your guy or woman for $one hundred twenty And 60+FPS on modern-day and destiny video games is a dropping conflict. i did no longer have faith it myself on the beginning up yet except while you're prepared to sell off $350+ on a photographs card you ought to plan on getting a sparkling photographs card each 3-5 years to get suitable overall performance.

nope, normal it should work. What you need is a high-end pc (a desktop should support whatever pc you have, unless it's really really old).
Every technical stuff gets old and it can stop working or work with errors. If your desktop works normally then it can play those high-end games.
You need to know that a desktop is also very cheap comparing to a pc,
but I have faith it will work,
I can tell you with all my knowledge if you just answer this questions when did you guys buy it?
was it new or second-hand?
what type is it?
and how long have you been using it?

The monitor doesn't really matter. What matters is if your computer can run it or not.
Basically. Don't look at the monitor, just the computer.

It's the bitter truth of life.................
You CAN'T play such games on a two-decade old monitor.
