Youll get more power consumption and heat but it'll be able to double your performance in many games.

Ive been able to get good FPS in CSGO and Fall Guys at 1080p using my 2nd hand Lenovo with its R7 3700U. Ive seen people playing GTA and Warzone with the same specs too!

    If you're looking to play PS3 games the cheapest way is still to buy a second hand PS3 and jailbreak it. The PC hardware for emulating a PS3 is still way too expensive at the moment. And rcpsx3 (I think that's the name of the emulator) isn't quite there yet. All ps3s are able to be jailbroken now, that way you can get pretty much any PS3 game for fee. Find one with/put in a 500GB or 1TB hard drive there (mine came with a 500GB drive from the factory) and you can download a ton of stuff on it. Added bonus of PS2 and PS1 emulation as well (though at native resolution :-( )

        Yeah some of the 240p PS2 and PS1 games look a bit jagged, but hey it works. You can see the compatibility here if you're interested in how a particular game runs
