- Hey, guys, this is Austin. Fortnite is the most populargame in the world right now. Take one look at Twitch and you'll see hundreds of thousands of people watching streams at any given time. Now that actually got me curious, because Fortnite is available on such a wide range of hardware, everything from high-end gaming PCs to consoles to even smartphones.
Can you actually run it on some slightly unusual
things, like a $200 laptop? At first glance, things
look pretty promising. Fortnite's minimum requirements only need an Intel HD 4000 GPU, AKA integrated graphics
on a laptop from 2013, which I think should be pretty doable, but we're gonna be
pushing the limits here. So, to start with, we're
going to try Fortnite running on the iPhone X. Now what's impressive here is that it actually looks pretty much
like Fortnite everywhere else.
You've got your menu, you got
pretty much everything else that you want to have,
unlike a lot of other free-to-play games on the phone. (Austin coughing) Like, everything. (Austin coughing) Sorry, I was a little... (Clears throat) My first impressions
are that this is really, really good-looking for
a game on the phone.
Now, I'm sure as we take a
look at some higher-end PCs, you'll be able to see more differences, but, I mean, this is
pretty much the full game. You're not really losing a
whole lot of anything here. Probably the biggest problem with Fortnite Mobile are the controls. Now, it's not that bad, especially if you can get used to some
touch screen controls.
You'll probably be fine, but it is definitely not
going to be as nice as with a controller or especially
with a mouse and keyboard. What's cool about this edition is that it actually
does support cross-play, so in theory right now I could be playing with people on PC, on Xbox, or on phone. Next up, we have the full PC experience. So this is the Acer Predator Helios 300, a roughly $1,000 laptop
with pretty beefy specs, including a Core i7, as well
as a full NVIDIA GTX 1060.
Immediately, you can tell there
is a huge difference here. So not only are we playing
it at 1080p on Epic settings, but we're getting a pretty respectable 70 frames per second or so right now. Don't get me wrong, there's
nothing necessarily wrong with the mobile experience, but there is a pretty big difference when you jump up to the PC. Honestly, probably one
of the biggest things is just the better controls for me, so even though you have
the ultra PC experience doesn't necessarily mean you're actually going to be any good at Fortnite.
But I will say that
there is a big difference in playing on something
like this versus the phone, or as you'll see in a minute,
some of the lower-end systems. This really is the way that
Fortnite is meant to be played. Next up, we have the Xbox One S, and this is going to give you a good idea of what the lower end of
consoles are capable of. This is the least powerful.
PS4, PS4 Pro, as well as Xbox One X. Are all going to give
you better performance and especially better resolution, but you are still getting 60 frames per second on the console, and if this looks a little
bit different to you, it's because this is our
portable Xbox One S setup. You guys want the full
information on this, link is in the description. So what you're getting here is that full 60 frames
per second experience, but at lower settings.
One of the most noticeable things is going to be the resolution. This is running somewhere
in the neighborhood of 720p. It looks fine, but it's not
going to be super-sharp, especially if you're
playing on a high-res 4K TV. That being said, especially
if you're playing on a smaller monitor like
this, it looks totally fine.
And I can't stress enough: that 60 frames per second
option is a huge, huge deal. It really does add so
much fluidity to the game, and it makes it feel
a lot more competitive versus slightly less performing options. Not that I'm hinting toward what the other things in this
video we're going to do. I'm really impressed with
just how much optimization that they've done on this game.
It's crazy that Epic
has made a single title that can scale everything
from a phone to an Xbox-- Oh, this is bad, this is... Why are we all in here? No! No! Next up, we have something a
little bit more interesting. This is the Acer Aspire 5, and at $600, this is by far my favorite
gaming laptop I've ever tried. So, for that money, you're
getting not only a Core i5, but you're also getting a pretty decent NVIDIA
MX150 graphics card.
Performance-wise, this is
actually pretty similar to what you're getting on Xbox. So, right now, we're running
on Medium settings at 720p, and we're getting a pretty stable lock on 60 frames per second. Sometimes during the action, we'll dip a little bit below that, but it is surprising at
how close you can get to a full console experience on what is a pretty budget gaming laptop. The only problem with a
game like PUBG or Fortnite is that everyone is so good that I feel really, really
terrible, so, um, yeah.
Now, my friends, it's time to take a trip to the danger zone. So far we've been playing on things that are actually meant to play the game. However, Fortnite can be run
on very, very low settings. This is the 2017 LG Gram.
Now, the idea here is that this is by no means a gaming laptop. Instead, this is very much an Ultrabook, and it actually does
have pretty decent specs, with eight gigs of RAM, and the brand-new 8th-gen
Core i7 processor. However, graphics, not
exactly the strong suit here. Now, no one is going to buy
an Ultrabook for gaming, but it's interesting to see how something like this is going to perform.
It might seem weird to try to
play a game on an Ultrabook, but to be fair, a lot of people do have this class of hardware and might be interested
in trying Fortnite. The good news is, it's playable. The bad news is, it's not going
to be particularly pretty. First of all, you're gonna want
to crank your settings down.
All the way down. Right now, I'm playing on the lowest settings possible at 600p and getting somewhere
around 30 frames per second. Like here, I'm walking around. Not even a particularly challenging scene.
We're kind of hovering in the high 20s. It's gonna be playable, but it's definitely not going
to be a great experience. So far, we've seen a pretty
wide range of hardware to play on Fortnite,
but my real question is, can we play it on a $200 laptop? This is the HP Stream, a $200 laptop with some incredibly low-end specs. We've got an Intel
Celeron N3060 processor, four gigs of RAM, and exactly no dedicated graphics of any kind.
Let's just see here, what have we got? We got 480p on Low. I'm gonna take a guess and say that that's going to be too high. One of the nice things
about Fortnite, though, is that you can completely adjust it all the way down to 360p. I like how your avatar in the game is like 18 pixels right now.
Really fills me with confidence. Join server. Alright. Time to play some Fortnite on a $200 PC! This is not gonna go well.
Okay, we're actually in
the game right now, and, (Austin laughing) that looks hilarious. But we're getting a solid
14 frames per second. Okay. I mean, the game is actually playing.
It's not crashing, it's... There's some, like, pixels on the screen. There's, like, seven or eight of them. That's fine, no big deal.
Uh-oh, here, we froze. We froze, that's fine. That's fine, I'm sure it'll come back. Uh, oh, okay, we're back.
I guess it didn't freeze after all. Oh, what is this? Is this supposed to be a tower? Oh, it froze again. What's funny is that you
look at something like this. This looks like a giant blob of pixels.
However, this, the tree,
actually doesn't look that bad. It's like any time I look at a tree, my frame rate immediately tanks. If I look down at the ground
or something, it's fine, or look at this stupid shack, which, oh, wait, it just popped in a new texture. Oh wow, okay, so it's now
no longer Garbage Town.
Great, okay. So, can you play Fortnite
on a $200 computer? Yes. Should you? Absolutely not. I'm gonna say that Fortnite
actually runs pretty well, as long as you don't try to, you know, push its capabilities
a little bit too far.
I'm curious: what do you
guys play Fortnite on? Let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one..
My very first game of Fortnite Battle Royale and my brand Alienware Aurora PC. Welcome everyone my name's Ali-A and today It's another. It's a big it's an unboxing ladies and gentlemen as you can see just behind, my second channel been popping off with Unboxings of loads of stuff recently it's time for the main channel to get a little bit of love today Inside that box behind me is actually my brand new gaming PC. I want to say gaming, PC.
Hey, how's it going Dave2D here. So, this video is a guide, a guide for people that are interested in purchasing a gaming laptop going into 2018 and it's specifically for a gaming laptops. So, this isn't super comprehensive and I'm just going to talk about something that are important when it comes to the decision process for purchasing a laptop for gaming. So, when it comes to the art of making a laptop, I think manufacturers go through that struggle where they are trying to find that perfect spot between price and performance and portability.
(Super Cool animation ) Hey how's it going? Dave 2D here So, Right now in early to mid 2018 We actually see a lot of laptop companies Coming up with their 8th generation laptops So they are Coffee Lake H Processors Which are really powerful And for like the right user For CPU intensive applications, they are awesome So if you're a streamer Or if you do video editing Or if you do like 3D stuff machine learning 6 cores is excellent But for alot of people specially gamers thoes extra cores aren't all that useful So you can actually find some very comparable performance from previous generation laptops and just save a lot of money So This is kind of like a guide or some kind of like I don't know Just a video to kinda guide you in the right direction So, we gonna look at 2 things Refurb options and Used options So, the first thing is refurb Refurb devices like refurbished devices They're sometimes a stigma when it comes to like buying refurbished stuff like it's like...Oh it used or whatever... But here is the thing a lot of refurbished laptops are coming from corporate devices, you like have that 45, 50 year old executive at a company that like gets new devices every year. Part of the company perk right? (I wish :(( and one year later they get swapped out for a newer device and so that older device goes back to the laptop manufacturer they recondition it sometimes they swap out the battery and then they resell it at a severely discounted price point sometimes which is awesome And so those devices that comes from corporate ownership are just they so lightly used that they basically brand new and if you can get your hand on some of those Sometimes, it's like really good pricing So, refurbished options are excellent If..If you buy it from right brand So, apple they have excellent refurbished options like some of the stuff that comes from apple is basically brand new when you buy refurbished it gets all the warranty and everything but if we talk about gaming laptops the one brand comes to mind the one brand that really sticks out as like gaming a excellent option for me is dell They have what I consider They have very big corporate market So, they have a ton of consumers out there and that whole corporate ownership that I just described, happens alot with dell devices XPS line, like they have tons of them at are just 25 30% off. Very significant and Same thing goes with their alienware lineup If you want like dedicated gaming same thing goes there So there are some other brands that have the refurbished thing as well Um..
Hey, how's it going? Dave2D here So this is the Nitro Spin 5. This is the 2-in-1 convertible from Acer that's supposed to do everything Work, play, media consumption, everything Because it's a 2-in-1 hybrid device that has a GTX 1050 in it, like the entry-level gaming card And, it's coupled with a Kaby Lake-R CPU. So like a quad-core 8th generation CPU. So, it's not like super powerful, but it's like an entry level hybrid laptop that doesn't cost too much money, but should be a good fit for a lot of different people So this thing's build quality is quite good, it's actually better than I thought it would be for the price.
- Hey, guys, this is Austin! If you're looking for a
We are about to have some fun today My friends you hear it a lot pc master race pc master race But have you ever wondered why? Pc gaming is considered to be the master race now if you're a PC gamer You likely already know the reasons, but if you're on the outside looking in it can be hard to really get and today I'm gonna do my best to lay it out for you What is up guys Jimmy your chaos welcome to chaos top tens and today? We're gonna be counting down the 10 reasons that PC gaming is Superior now if you want to see the opposite into the spectrum and you want to see ten reasons why console gaming is superior We could do that as well, but today. It's all about the PC. Let's get started Be sure to enter the monthly 200 dollar Amazon gift card here on the channel it's really easy to enter all you have to do is like the video make sure you subscribe to the channel and turn on your Notifications for a chance to win leave a comment why you want it with your Twitter handle And I will pick the winner at the end of the month good luck Kicking off this list is simple pricing a common Misconception about PC gaming is that it's super expensive that console gaming is way cheaper while PC gaming can be expensive if you're trying to build this mega, machine a Standard gaming PC really isn't that expensive and you can build a solid computer for just as much if not even less Than buying a new console plus because PC gaming is so customizable And you're not buying the complete package You can get very creative with what you want and the pricing that you're comfortable with with consoles You've got one price And that's it but with PC gaming you can actually decide what aspects you do and what aspects you don't want to pay a lot Of money for and you can tailor the machine to fit your personal budget Ademir 9 keyboard and mouse while people may have their own preferences about controllers or keyboard or mouse There's no denying that the keyboard the mouse are vastly superior to controllers and many different types of games and shooters RTS game strategy games MOBAs and many RPGs as well the keyboard and mouse just give you so much more control over what your character Does and the precision you have with a mouse is far better than that of a joystick when playing shooters? If you don't like the keyboard mouse or if you're not used to using them yet You can always just plug a controller into your PC and Play the way you would on a console the PC. Definitely has the advantage in terms of controller options in ways for you to actually play try going up against a good player in Fortnight that's using a keyboard mouse when you're using a console controller At number eight we have a huge advantage for the PC open marketplace consoles Have a closed marketplace in which the big companies Sony? Microsoft and Nintendo get to decide what is it is not on your console on the PC however? This is not the case sure you have services like Stephen origin that streamlined the process of getting your games But that doesn't mean that you have to get games through them this leads to a massive indie marketplace in the world of modding betas Emulators you name it.
