currently has windows 10 pro, processor is AMD A10-5750M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.50 GHz
16gb ram. its an MSI GX70

 

[smokenbeny]

any ideas?

 

[ktolo]

Yes. Its an APU - the processor and video card are on the same package, integrated with one another.
It's also only a mid-range to lower range mobile model, (denoted by the M in the name) and therefore lower power and performance.

What kinds of games are you playing? Perhaps you need to lower your settings, or expectations from this setup.

thanks for answering ktolo, I am trying to play RUST on potato settings (lowest settings) even while the game is loading the cpu is at max 100% :/

 

[ktolo]

Did you upgrade to 10 from 8? Probably best to do a data backup and then a clean install of w10 and find all the right drivers.

 

[smokenbeny]

Yeah i think it came with windows 8.1 or something, i have the disc with all the drivers and stuff on it but when i tried to install them some said not supported by this OS, do you think i will need to buy windows 8?

 

[ktolo]

No need to buy anything. You can create the media to do a clean install from your current setup.
