Understanding Windows 11: Gaming Hardware

Give it a try!

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The central processing unit (device’s CPU) acts like its brain, telling other components what to do.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

A GPU can be integrated, meaning built into the computer. Integrated GPUs are great for portability, but not for gaming. Look for dedicated GPUs capable of ray tracing, which will allow in-game lights to behave like real-life lights.

Random Access Memory (RAM)

RAM is the computer’s short-term memory. The higher the RAM, the more operations your computer can perform simultaneously

Solid-State Drive (SSD)

SSDs act as long-term storage on your computer. They're a little more expensive than hard drives, but games will load faster if you have them. Save time and money when shopping on your favorite sites with Microsoft Edge's built-in coupon tracker.

PC Performance

To quickly check how your computer responds to a game, open it by selecting the Windows logo key G Windows Game Bar. You'll see CPU, GPU, RAM and even frames per second in real time.
