That laptop with 16 GB of ram intel core i7 Non touchscreen 1TB of HDD no SDD.


So In any games I play I get between 10-30 FPS on the lowest setting, from minecraft(Opti-fine Installed) to warcraft three and trove. I have no idea why this is happening, the usage stays around 20-30% for CPU and Memory and around 7-10% for disk. Are there any solutions to this? This makes playing games almost unplayable.

Fair enough, lets pick a title and focus on it. You mention Garys Mod. (Built on a very stable half life) It should by definition rock the house with those specs. I can understand your frustration. What resolution settings are you running on this game in particular? also, has the system been reloaded ?

Check your power management features and make sure your set for performance.

@sprinter I am on windows 8
I uninstalled Gmod the other day but with warcraft 3 I know I have everything turned down to lowest, and on a flash game (shellshocklive2) it lags whenever someones uses an earthquake an the screenshakes. Also I can notice lag during videos if they are 720P and it gets worse at 1080
