LAPTOP REPAIR GLOSSARY / GAMES
Games — PC Requirements Glossary
Plain-English breakdowns of the most-played PC games in Singapore — what each one demands from your CPU, GPU, and RAM, and what kind of desktop build actually runs it well. From esports titles that run on anything to AAA games that punish weak hardware.
|
Esports / FPS
Valorant
Riot’s tactical shooter. One of the lightest competitive games ever — runs on integrated graphics, but high refresh rates are CPU-driven.
|
Esports / FPS
Counter-Strike 2
Valve’s Source 2 shooter. Much heavier than CS:GO — a strong CPU and mid-range GPU are needed for stable 144+ FPS.
|
Esports / MOBA
Dota 2
Valve’s MOBA on Source 2. Light on GPU, but late-game teamfights are CPU-bound — single-core speed decides your minimum FPS.
|
|
Esports / MOBA
League of Legends
The world’s biggest MOBA. Runs on almost any PC made in the last decade — but 144 FPS still needs a proper CPU.
|
Gacha / Open World
Genshin Impact
HoYoverse’s open-world RPG. A GTX 1060-class GPU delivers 60 FPS at 1080p — an SSD matters more than people think.
|
Battle Royale
Fortnite
Epic’s battle royale on Unreal Engine 5. Performance Mode runs on anything; full Nanite/Lumen visuals demand an RTX card.
|
|
AAA / RPG
Cyberpunk 2077
CDPR’s benchmark-setting RPG. Scales from GTX 1060 to full path tracing on an RTX 4080 — the classic GPU stress test.
|
AAA / RPG
Elden Ring
FromSoftware’s open-world epic. Capped at 60 FPS — a used GTX 1070 or RTX 3060 hits the cap at 1080p.
|
AAA / Action
Black Myth: Wukong
One of the heaviest games ever released. Built around upscaling — even an RTX 4060 relies on DLSS at 1080p.
|
|
AAA / Action RPG
Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom’s RE Engine pushed to the limit. Unusually CPU-heavy — a 6-core minimum, and frame generation is assumed in the official specs.
|
Sandbox / Kids
Minecraft & Roblox
The two games most Singapore parents ask about. Both run on budget PCs — until shaders and mods enter the picture.
