Windows.  Viruses.  Laptops.  Internet.  Office.  Utilities.  Drivers

First of all, the article will be useful to those players whose computer has weak and average technical characteristics.

Over time, your computer's performance may weaken. There are many factors that affect performance. In this article we will look at the main ones and talk about ways to optimize your computer.

Even an inexperienced user can perform a simple computer setup according to the instructions. However, some other, more complex settings should be performed by an experienced user or IT specialist. Instructions for experienced users are marked in the article with a special warning.

Driver Update

Updating software (drivers) for a computer is a necessary and important procedure. Games installed on your computer require it to perform many actions: playing multimedia files, processing graphic effects, etc. Even the stability of your network connection may depend on which driver version your network adapter is using.

Outdated drivers are not always able to correctly perform the functions assigned to them, which can lead to unstable operation of the computer. To update the software version for your device to the latest one, the most reliable way is to download the required driver from the device manufacturer’s website: such software will definitely be tested and optimized for stable operation.

The following articles describe ways to find and update drivers using Windows operating system tools or independently:

  • Automatically receive recommended drivers and hardware updates

If you have information about the model of your device or laptop, then you can find the necessary driver yourself on the website of its manufacturer.

Websites of the most common computer equipment manufacturers:

Optimizing Windows performance

The performance of a personal computer largely depends not only on what components are installed in it, but also on how the operating system is configured.

This article describes solutions for the Windows 7 operating system. However, many of these solutions can also be applied to other operating systems of the Windows family. Pay special attention to the sections “Defragmenting your hard drive” and “Cleaning up your hard drive.”

Page file (virtual memory)

The paging file is allocated on the hard drive and is designed to increase computer performance in cases where the amount of installed RAM is insufficient for fast operation.

Checking the hard drive with CHKDSK utility

A hard drive is a device that stores all the information on a computer, from the installed operating system to your favorite movies and games. Constant access to the hard drive leads to its physical degradation over time. As a result, the reading speed from hard disk sectors decreases, and sometimes so-called “bad” sectors appear, which, in turn, leads to slow operation of the operating system and the personal computer as a whole.

Checking your hard drive with CHKDSK will resolve problems with its operation and can provide a significant performance boost if damaged sectors are blocked.

  • Microsoft TechNet Library

Checking Windows with the SFC utility

The SFC utility built into the operating system is designed to correct errors in the operation of the OS, as well as restore damaged files. Often, such a check will help eliminate problems in the operation of system processes and correct errors in the operating system registry, which, in turn, will also have a beneficial effect on the operation of the computer.

The utility can be launched on Windows XP only if you have an installation CD with an operating system image.

"Clean" loading an operating system is a mode in which a minimum set of programs and services is used to launch it. In other words, the influence of other programs on the startup and operation of Windows is excluded.

Over time, more and more programs are installed on the computer, some are launched when Windows starts and actively use the computer’s resources (RAM, processor, etc.).

If your computer is taking a long time to boot up for no apparent reason, and games are taking too long to launch, it's probably time to clean boot Windows. This will help identify a program or series of programs that are affecting your computer's performance.

Setting the power mode in Windows

If you want to improve your computer's performance, then you can't do without adjusting the power mode. There are various power management schemes designed both to reduce the computer's power consumption and to maximize its performance (power consumption in this mode increases).

As a rule, portable computers (laptops) need to adjust the power mode. The software installed on a laptop by its manufacturer includes the “Balanced” mode by default, which sometimes excludes the ability to fully use the computer’s resources in games. If your computer has two video adapters (built into the processor and a discrete one), then the “Balanced” mode uses a less powerful adapter to reduce energy costs, which will affect the quality of the game in the form of a low FPS value (frames per second).

To force your computer to make the most of its resources, you need to activate.

It is necessary to select the power supply mode not only in the operating system settings, but also in special programs that are installed on the laptop by its manufacturer.

Configuring the video adapter driver to use a discrete video card in the game

In the previous section it was already mentioned that a less powerful video adapter may be used when launching the game, and one of the options was given on how to avoid this.

Let's consider the second option.

The use of a discrete video adapter for the game can be set in the software settings for the video card.

Setting up an antivirus

Protecting your operating system from malicious software is an important security factor. However, if you want to improve the performance of your computer, then you should not set the antivirus settings to the strictest mode. This mode significantly affects the performance of the computer.
It is recommended to select the game mode (in some antiviruses there is a special profile called “Game”).

Also, to exclude the influence of the antivirus on the game's operation, it is necessary.

There are many antiviruses on the market that change from version to version, so it is difficult to describe all the settings options for each of them. However, you can independently contact the support service of your antivirus to configure it correctly. Here are links to popular antivirus websites:

Scanning your computer for malware

Even the most modern antivirus may not recognize new malware in a timely manner. The virus disrupts the operation of the operating system, and in some cases can heavily load the video card or processor, which leads to a significant decrease in performance. Therefore, if you notice that the speed of your computer has decreased significantly in a short time, then it is likely that it is infected with malware. In this case, you need to scan your computer using another antivirus.

The following utilities are excellent for such checking:

Most computers are equipped with an air cooling system, which has both pros and cons. One of the disadvantages: the draft created by air currents draws dust into the computer. Over time, there is so much dust that the cooling system cannot cope with its function, which leads to overheating of computer devices. Dust is also a good conductor of electric current, and its presence on elements of the system (motherboard) board or other devices can lead to a short circuit, which can damage or completely render any device inoperable.

To avoid this, the following precautions must be observed:

  1. Do not install the computer in dusty or drafty places.
  2. Do not block air access to the cooling system. Most often, laptops suffer from this, since air enters them from under the bottom panel. By placing the laptop on a blanket or simply placing it on your lap, you can accidentally block the air supply, which will lead to the computer overheating.
  3. Perform regular maintenance on the cooling system. It is advisable to clean your computer using cans of compressed air or a compressor. This method is much more effective than using a vacuum cleaner. However, preventive maintenance with compressed air should be carried out in an open space, outside an enclosed space (home, office, etc.).
  4. Replace the thermal paste on the CPU. Also, if necessary, you can replace the thermal paste on the motherboard chipset and the video card GPU.
  5. If the PC components are not cool enough, install additional fans.

World of Tanks is one of the most popular online games all over the world. Tanks allow millions of people to fight on the best “war chariots” of the middle of the last century, take part in large-scale battles in various locations, and improve their tactical and team fighting skills.

Like any other game, World of Tanks has computer requirements. This means that a successful launch and full-fledged gameplay are possible on computers with a certain power. The minimum system requirements of World of Tanks allow you to run the game on almost any computer, including the old one. But for those who want to play WOT HD, the system requirements will be slightly higher.

What are system requirements

First, let's look at the question, what does the term “minimum requirements for tanks” mean? The system requirements of the World of Tanks game are the optimal parameters under which the game will function normally - without crashes or crashes.

Below we will look at the characteristics of World of Tanks, which you can compare with the parameters of your computer. It is worth noting that the requirements vary from the minimally necessary to the optimal, that is, desirable. Therefore, those who want to fully enjoy the gameplay should still think about upgrading their iron friend.

Minimum settings

The minimum system requirements of WOT are quite flexible, so the tanks will run even on ancient “calculators”. With minimal system requirements, World of Tanks will not surprise users with its graphics, but the application still promises to be stable, and, perhaps, nothing more is needed for bending.

Minimum requirements for World of Tanks

Processor power 2.4 GHz
RAM 2 GB
Video card Video GeForce 9800GT 512 MB
Hard drive space 7 GB
Internet speed 128 Kbps

These are the minimum requirements for World of Tanks in order for the game to work stably with the most modest graphics settings. However, this is far from the limit, and if you want to check out all the delights of this game, try to get enough hardware to provide at least an average level of settings.

Medium settings (optimal)

The recommended system requirements for World of Tanks are those requirements at which the game will run stably at medium graphics settings. Optimal settings are a balance between quality and performance.

The optimal system requirements for World of Tanks are now used by most PC users. Of course, these World of Tanks system requirements for a laptop are also suitable, especially if we are talking about relatively new models.

Optimal WOT requirements

Processor power 3.4 GHz
RAM 4 GB
Video card Video GeForce GTX 480 1 GB
Hard drive space 7 GB
Internet speed 128 Kbps

Even the average World of Tanks system requirements for a computer are not excessive for most users. At the same time, the picture quality at these settings is already close to ideal.

Maximum settings

The maximum system requirements of World of Tanks can only be achieved by powerful gaming computers, which cost a lot of money. But the quality of graphics will be as realistic and detailed as possible.

World of Tanks HD system requirements

Processor power Core i7
RAM 8 GB
Video card Video GeForce GTX 760
Hard drive space 20 GB
Internet speed 1024 Kbps

HD are high-resolution textures that will delight players with a very high-quality picture.

As you can see, the technical specifications of World of Tanks are very flexible. Thanks to variable graphics settings, you can run the game both on old low-power computers, sacrificing image quality, and on modern machines - enjoying the excellent detail of tanks and surrounding landscapes.

You should carefully configure the system requirements for the game Tanks so as not to overload the system unit or laptop. Otherwise, the game will not only run poorly, but the hardware will also suffer. Do you think stories about burned-out video cards are just jokes?

Before running tanks at a certain graphical level, look at your characteristics and the three tables that were presented above. Compare the parameters and only then go into the settings.

The minimum system requirements for online Tanks are suitable for work computers, because many players are not averse to tanking in their office. Please note that for normal operation you must set at least 30 FPS - this is the minimum threshold.

It should be taken into account that the wider the monitor screen, the greater the load on the video card. Therefore, if you have a weak PC, you do not need to run tanks on a large monitor.

The requirements for a World of Tanks computer do not always correspond to the stated ones, because the developers are not yet able to bring the technical part of the game to ideal, although with each new update they are getting closer to this value.

World of Tanks system requirements for PCs are somewhat lower than for laptops. Therefore, if you have a choice of what to buy for computer games, always choose a desktop computer.

System requirements for Android

Above we looked at the system requirements for online Tanks on PC, but don’t forget about the mobile version, which is becoming increasingly popular.

Characteristics of WOT Blitz for Android

operating system Android 4.0
Video chip Mali-400MP
CPU 1200 MHz
Cores 2
RAM 1 GB

The presented technical requirements of World of Tanks Blitz are minimal and will ensure stable operation only at the lowest settings. Therefore, to play with better graphics, you will need more powerful gadgets.

Laptop settings

Let us immediately note that the WOT system requirements for a laptop will always be somewhat higher than those of conventional PCs. Therefore, even with exactly the same characteristics as a PC, the laptop will always produce fewer frames per second (FPS).

The average system requirements of World of Tanks X64 for a laptop are not a problem. A good model will allow you to produce 60+ FPS, and maybe even a hundred, which guarantees the normal operation of the application.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that laptops heat up much more than regular PCs. Therefore, it is worth carefully monitoring the temperature of the modules to avoid problems with the hardware. To keep overheating to a minimum, it is advisable to buy a laptop stand or at least not run the game at maximum settings.

Why do system requirements differ between versions?

WOT computer requirements may differ on different versions of Windows. The fact is that Windows itself, depending on the version, “eats” a certain amount of computer resources.

So, for example, installing Windows 10 on a rather old computer, and then tanks, you will not get a stable running game. In this case, they will work better on Windows XP.

By the way, for those who wondered: will tanks run on Windows XP? For now they will go. However, you should not delay the reinstallation to version 7 and higher.

Video

From our video you will learn many important details about the system requirements of the World of Tanks HD client.

Hello all readers. I noticed that recently many people want to buy a laptop for tanks. That is, when choosing a laptop, their most important requirement is that the tanks pull properly! This is not surprising, because the once popular game is only gaining momentum over time and does not think of losing ground at all. In this regard, today we will talk about a laptop for World of Tanks (or WoT for short).

You will learn, which laptops are best for playing tanks in 2019. Find out World of tanks minimum system requirements. Well, that’s not all, if you read carefully, you will find many more small useful things that I won’t even separate into separate sub-items.

System requirements for playing World of tanks on a laptop

I think there’s certainly no need to explain to anyone what system requirements are. However, I would like to note that now everything is much more complicated and confusing than it was before. If earlier, when choosing a processor, everyone basically looked only at its frequency, now many parameters of the central processor have a significant impact on its performance.

So, for example, you can often find that a processor with a lower clock frequency and even with fewer cores turns out to be significantly more productive than what seems at first glance to be a very powerful processor.

To avoid being fooled by these unfounded numbers, always pay attention to performance tests. There are quite a lot of them on the Internet now. Now let's see what the minimum and recommended system requirements for playing World of tanks should be on your laptop.

World of tanks minimum system requirements

What are the minimum system requirements? Essentially, these are the parameters of your computer (in this case, a laptop), at which the game will run without brakes or freezes at minimum graphics detail settings. Well, not at the highest screen resolution, of course.

Minimum system requirements to playWOT are listed on the official website of the game. However, please note that these are for a desktop computer, not a laptop. Let's try to translate these requirements into laptop power.

Worldoftanks – minimum system requirements
Iron On the computer
CPU Dual-core processor with SSE2 technology support Briefly speaking, absolutely any modern processor will do. And don’t be confused by the abbreviation SSE2, your processor supports both SSE3 and SSE4, I’m sure.
RAM 2 GB We'll find that much RAM somewhere.
Video adapter GeForce 6800 256MB

ATI HD 2400 XT 256MB

These are very old video cards and I don’t even have anything to compare them with in the modern world.

As you can see, the game itself is very old and you don’t need a powerful laptop to play it on the lowest settings. The game will run even on budget models, but it will look as if you are playing on a 16-bit console (hello to the natives of the 80s-90s).

What can we say, the system requirements for the World of tanks game are really the most minimal. But the situation changes dramatically if you want to run the game on medium or high settings. Here you will have to fork out for a normal laptop.

World of Tanks - at minimum and maximum settings

Recommended system requirements for World of tanks (for playing at maximum speed)

The official website also lists the recommended system requirements. That is, those with which we can play at maximum graphics detail settings. I will list comparable mobile characteristics in the table, but keep in mind that it is better to buy a laptop for World of tanks with a small performance reserve. Oh yes, performance from the benchmarks you can see in brackets. I will highlight it in bold because this is a very important indicator (although I can’t say that it will be 100% accurately projected onto the requirements WoT).

So what do we see here? Let's do a little data analysis.

What kind of processor does a laptop need to play tanks at maximum speed? This appears to be a mobile processor Inteli5 ori7 with suffixes QM or HQ, and simple processors are also suitable i7 7th and 8th generation with suffix U.

Which laptop to buy for tanks

So, have you decided to buy a laptop for tanks? Let's try to decide based on the data above and the current offer in the country's online stores. As you have already seen, the minimum system requirements for playing tanks are quite low and will work even if you download and install all the additional optimizing drivers from the game website.

If you want to buy a laptop for playing tanks at high graphics settings, then you will have to fork out some money, and we will help you with this! More precisely, we will help you choose a laptop for World of tanks, and not fork out money (hehe).

Laptops for playing tanks at maximum settings

Laptop model CPU Video card RAM Display approximate price
ACER Aspire E5-576G-55Y4 Intel Core i5-8250U nVidia GeForce MX150 8 GB DDR4 15.6 inches, IPS 1920×1080 45,000 rubles
I can't say it's a laptop ACER Aspire E5-576G-55Y4 ideal for playing tanks. However, if you have a fairly limited budget, and you are really interested in buying a laptop for tanks, then this option may be suitable for you. You can manually adjust the graphics in the game, leaving only significant effects for yourself. This way you save money and play on settings between medium and maximum (but probably closer to medium anyway). You can read more.
Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15, 81FK0010RU Intel Core i5-8300H nVidia GeForce GTX 1050 8 GB DDR4 15.6 inches, TN 1920×1080 50,000 rubles
Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15 Quite a good and inexpensive laptop for playing tanks at maximum speed. The only thing is that the performance of the video card is slightly lower than that required for comfortable gaming. Perhaps the picture will not be smooth enough, and in complex battles there will most likely be freezes. Although this video card is enough even to play GTA 5 on high settings (but not on ultra). But the processor power is enough to simultaneously hack into tanks and perform complex background tasks, if necessary.

HP Omen 15-ce015ur It's just a stomp, guys! The performance of the video card in this laptop will last you for a very long time, especially in combination with this processor and this amount of RAM. In general, you can immediately set all settings to ultra and not think twice about it. I won't say that this is the optimal laptop for World of tanks, because it is better! If your goal is to buy a gaming laptop not only for tanks, but also for other modern games, then this is the best rational choice.
HP Omen 15-dc0007ur Intel Core i7-8750H nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 8Gb 16 GB DDR4 15.6 inches, IPS 1920×1080 120,000 rubles
There are no comments here. You understand everything yourself. It's even cooler than the previous one. If you don’t have a lot of money, then this is your choice, I would advise others to go for the 60,000 ruble model - this is a good laptop for tanks!

Conclusion

What is a laptop for tanks? Essentially, this is a gaming laptop, but not the top one. This becomes obvious even after a superficial analysis of the World of tanks system requirements and offerings on the 2019 laptop market.

When choosing a laptop, you will first have to decide whether you want to buy a laptop for tanks or in general. And, based on this, make your choice. It is also worth noting that professional WoT players often, even having very powerful laptops that are capable of running the game at maximum speed, play on low graphics settings. Why? It's more convenient for them. Maybe the grass is blocking the view, or maybe something else.

In general, the choice is yours, friends! And if you are already playing this game, then we would all be interested if you would share what laptop you are playing on, what graphics settings and how many FPS your system produces. Thanks in advance for your helpful comments!!! 🙂
