what is having performance issue?
can upgrade ram and ssd.

 

[geofelt]

Laptops are mostly not upgradeable excepting for ram and drives.
If you are having performance issues, perhaps you are throttling due to heat when gaming plugged in.

I see many complaints about gaming laptops not performing well.
Usually gaming while plugged in.
One common cause is thermal throttling.
Laptop coolers must, of necessity be small and light.
The coolers are also relatively underpowered.
If you run an app such as HWMonitor or HWinfo, you will get the current, minimum, and maximum cpu temperatures.
For intel processors, if you see a max of 100c. it means you have throttled.
The cpu will lower it's multiplier and power draw to protect itself
until the situation reverses.
At a lower multiplier, your cpu usage may well be at 100%
What can you do?
First, see that your cooler airways are clear and that the cooler fan is spinning.
Use a windows balanced power profile, not the performance profile.
Set a minimum cpu performance to something like 20%

It is counter-intuitive, but, try changing the windows balanced power profile advanced functions to a max of 90% instead of the default of 100%
You may not notice the reduced cpu performance.

It's a laptop. Can only upgrade ram/SSD. You cuold add in a 2 x 16gb kits for 32gbs, sell your old ram to offset the cost.

Faster PCIe 3 SSD Samsung 970 Evo 1tb. Very speedy drive, which can really shorten game load times.

thanks for your replies guys.


so interms of graphics nothing i can do ?

 

[rgd1101]

get a desktop if you want something that you can upgrade.

a desktop is a hassle ... i think ill just sell this laptop and get a newer one

 

[rgd1101]

some newer higher end laptop support external gpu.

can you mention some ?

Building a desktop is more a valuable learning experience than a hassle, and something you only need learn once. It's really not that hard, especially now that most parts are plug and play, and most MB settings automatic. About the only thing you need worry about is setting the RAM to XMP, which is quite simple.

I always found the software end of things to be harder to learn than the hardware, and that's equally so whether it's a laptop or desktop.

ya man i definitley understand what youre saying,i mean ive built my own two desktops from back in the day during my college years... dont feel like doing it anymore... id rather pay an extra $200-$300 and have professional services do it for me .

Actually it seems the route you're going isn't any better, especially if you're wanting to upgrade and don't even know RAM and storage are all that can be upgraded in a laptop as mentioned.

Point being sticking with building your own is far better than experimenting, in more ways than just money spent. It's every bit as much hassle to find your hardware is inadequate and not be able to do anything about it, vs a mere few hours spent building a rig.
