I’m not sure if this is even the graphics card section 🙁
I want to play ghost of Tsushima but am unsure if I have a good enough graphics card/driver/converter/processor/cyborg or whatever it’s called.
I was clearly in over my head getting a PC, thinking it’d be like my Xbox, but am trying to make the most of it.
But my question is, are my graphics up to date? Is my computer just old and moldy and I am suffering the consequences for buying a $900 PC, or are the good enough? Are they more than good enough?
If they’re not good enough, is there anything I can do about it? I see people sometimes talking about downloading updates for your Driver or something, but idk what that means or how to do it.
Please if you help use small words and talk slow, and please elaborate because I don’t know anything about computers and am scared to even buy games out of fear that I can’t run them. I play a game called baldur’s gate and everyone keeps saying I should be using this graphic driver or that card/chip or whatever and idk what to do.

Hello Station-Suspicious, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

You meet the minimum requirements, yes. If you are doing windows updates then you also should have most of the latest updates and drivers. However, you can go to the AMD website and download Adrenaline to confirm you have the latest drivers. It’s an app to control your AMD hardware.
All that hardware and you still can’t post a proper screenshot.
You should be fine at medium to low settings at 1080p
You can use this web site in future.

Yeah you’re fine man, tinker with the settings a bit to still hold frames and still get a playable quality
There are a bunch of videos on YouTube that you can watch. Search things like “new to pc gaming” and search what game you want to play with your video card ie: “Ghost of Tsushima RX 6700” honestly 30-45 fps is playable in most cases unless you are playing a sweaty online fps game. Also make sure you match the resolution of your game to the resolution of your monitor.
You haven’t got in over your head but there is going to be a learning curve. You are going to have to educate yourself a little bit. Youtube is your friend but dont just take one video as the word of PC God. Everything is opion based and some youtubers are dumb…welcome to the club. Now go forth and educate yourself.
