Need help with Asus N550JA-SB71T

[saksham_gupta]

I bought Asus N550JA-SB71T 1 year back and ever since I haven't been able to play serious games over it efficiently. I need to know if I can do anything to play games like GTA V over this laptop fluently (like installing some softwares or overclocking) or maybe if I can upgrade its grphics card to Nvidia or AMD somehow. I am currently running Windows 8.1. ALso I wanted to know if ugrading my RAM would effect the GPU performance as this laptop uses Intel UMA graphics

Unfortunately you have no dedicated graphics card. Just the intel graphics. There is nothing really you can do to improve the performance.

You are unable to upgrade the graphics cards on laptops, and upgrading the RAM from its standard 8GB would be near pointless.

You won't be able to game better on that laptop, as no overclocking is allowed. If you want to maximise your performance, I recommend closing all other applications when playing games, especially those that require CPU power (programs, some webpages).

Would an external graphics card would be of any use in this matter?

 

[tiny voices]

No, it would be MUCH more trouble/money than it is worth. For the cost of that, you could build a proper gaming PC.

Not to mention that buying an external graphics card completely negates the portability of a laptop.
