Intel HD Graphics 5500 question

[hardys77]

Hello. I have a laptop with the following specs

And I checked the intel hd graphics 5500 benchmark and I discovered that it should run new games on low, here comes my problem. It barely runs League of Legends on low. Is it that weak or I am missing something? Thank you.

EDIT: apparently img doesn't work.

Yea, Intel HD Graphics are pretty weak. If you can barely run LoL, that is normal.

If you're running recent games on integrated graphics, you have to use RAM in dual-channel. Open your laptop and check if you have two RAM sticks installed. The other problem is your CPU. Clocks set on 2,0 GHz are too low for any decent gaming.

^yeah, the cpu is set at 2,0 GHz.

The benchmarks said something else but that probably for better CPU's or idk. Thanks for your answers. I knew intel hd graphics we're low but wasn't sure. Thanks.

Thats surprising, you should be able to run LoL at 768p on medium settings at a pretty good frame rate.

I can run it but on like 20-30 fps and that's unplayable. I was kinda sad to see that it barely runs Outlast on low or doesn't run other games that have low specs. I can't even play The Walking Dead series because it has like 20 fps on low. Sad.

Is the laptop plugged into the power while trying this? Put the windows power mode in "high performance".

Get this and make sure you have the newest graphics drivers

Then go into the intel graphics options, make sure its in performance mode.

It really looks like you need another 4gb of ram, and a clean installation of windows, its using the page file a lot.

 

[hardys77]

It's been barely a month since I performed a clean windows install. I've done what you said, it looks like there was and graphics update after all, and I also set everything on high performance while plugged in. I'll try later to see how it works, thank you very much.
I have a PC but the motherboard died and I still haven't replaced it yet, I won't upgrade the laptop because I don't think it's worth but I was just wondering why the graphics were so bad. Thank you very much.
