Latitude 7490

The problem isn't the RAM, it's your graphics card (UHD Graphics 620). You're officially below the minimum requirements for the game. Your Dell Latitude 7490 is a business laptop and not designed for gaming.I'm sorry to have to give you the bad news. 😕

A random corporate ewaste laptop. Mine happens to be a Dell 7490 with 32GB RAM and i7. They are $100-150 on eBay.

that 0.4ghz lock is classic BD PROCHOT triggering from a faulty sensor after that bios update. i had this on a 7490 at work. first try rolling back the bios if dell lets you downgrade - check their driver page for older versions. if not, download throttlestop and disable 'bd prochot' in the main win

At any given time I'm running a pair a systems: a media-oriented desktop (Windows) and a developer-oriented laptop (Linux, until recently). The desktop has a 4k screen, nice speakers, discrete GPU, and I use it for all video (from YouTube to feature films), music, and games (GOG, Steam). Thanks to w

Hi, thanks for the response and thoughtful questions. I run Windows and play mostly single-player RTS/strategy games, so don't need anything intensive for competitive online play. Coming from a 2018 Dell Latitude 7490 that struggled running 10 year old games and anything that's come out recently was

My guess is you'll outgrow the CPU in either of these machines before you outgrow any other part of it. The T480 is nearly a decade old and the P52 is... also nearly a decade old, but it's datasheet was updated more recently. As has already been mentioned these are wildly different machines. The oth

E series is fine. if you can find one with the specs you need for a budget you can afford, do it, they're nowhere near as bad as people say. If you are in the T14 Gen4/5 are just starting to hit, alongside Dell 5440/5450 and 7440/7450. (which I mention because they regularly sell for half what equiv

Especially if you are running Windows, go for the T490. The T490 has a better chance of coming with a less degraded battery and will also also have better power flexibility, like being able to run off of a USB-C power source if you need. Worth remembering that all of these machines are several years

I think things are heading that way. It's worth remembering first-wave 8th gen launched in 2017 and so T480 and any similar system are marching their way toward being nine full years old. My personal laptop is a Latitude 7490 and as a result of being nine years old, it's got some loose screws, the T

I know man, but I can still be proud of it. (especially considering that I'm playing on a Dell Latitude 7490 with no anti-aliasing, where if you so much as look at a tree, your frames drop from like 40 to 25)
