Check out your current setup and see what graphics options suit your Acer laptop best. I'm curious about overclocking possibilities for laptops and what system configuration would work well.

I suggest avoiding excessive CPU overclocking. The RAM might handle a bit more, and the GPU could also be slightly boosted. Could you identify which components are limiting performance? Also, check the current temperatures across the board. Download MSI Afterburner, set the in-game overlay (OSD) to display CPU usage for all cores, CPU temperature, GPU usage, and GPU temperature. This will clarify how much overclocking is needed and the limits. Keep in mind that battery life will decrease faster on an overclocked setup.

I would advise against increasing the CPU speed beyond its limits. The RAM might handle a slight boost, and the GPU could also tolerate a minor adjustment. It’s unclear which components are limiting performance or what the current temperatures are. Download MSI Afterburner, set up the in-game overlay (OSD) to display CPU usage for all cores, CPU temperature, GPU usage, and GPU temperature. This will assist in determining the extent of overclocking needed and the possible limits. Also keep in mind that an overclocked system will drain the battery faster.
