Goddamit Laptop
Anyhow, topic is from my frustration. So recently for reasons disclosed I ended up with a not so good "gaming" laptop, not even mine. And all I can say is that it barely runs any game at all. Mostly the FPS which disturbs me getting around 15-20 FPS in the lowest demanding game. Anyone have any idea on how to increase performance on this piece of crap. Specs: Windows 8.1 i7 4700HQ 2.4 GHz Idles at 38C 16gb ram 1600 MHz GTX 765m 2048mb Also idles at 42C. Anything else needed. Tell me. Any type of help regarding increasing performance since i am pretty sure these specs must offer more. Also. I did try modifying settings in GEForce experience and control panel but nothing.

The laptop performs well enough for various games. What titles are you looking to play?
I also played Next Car Game, Star Trek Online, Rust, and then Arma 3, but it really messed up my CPU and the frames per second were around 6.
It's unusual given the 765m's performance as a mobile card. Are you certain it isn't utilizing the integrated GPU?
Many laptops reduce CPU performance when not connected to a power source, either as a design feature to conserve battery or because the processor overheats. This happens frequently in gaming and other high-performance machines. Are you using the laptop while it’s plugged in? On many gaming laptops with standard energy-saving configurations, you might still achieve around 60 frames per second, but switching off power will cause throttling, often dropping to about 20 fps. I’m not certain that adjusting Windows energy settings alone will fully resolve this problem.
I stay connected while playing and I’ve looked at the battery options and NVIDIA controls, adjusting them for better performance versus battery use.
