My laptop Acer E5 551G has been giving me poor graphical performance, the specs are as follows:-
- AMD APU Quad Core A10 Processor (5th Gen) with R6 Graphics
- R7 M265 2GB
- 8GB RAM
I recently installed the latest Crimson Relive drivers for my GPU, but I got poor performance in the beginning with Catalyst driver as well.
So after installing the drivers, I installed MSI Afterburner to check for any bottleneck, but to my surprise CPU was running at 60-70% and the GPU was also being utilized at only 40-50%. The GPU was at around 80-90 C and was at its maximum frequency of 820 MHz.
I am not able to understand what I should do to improve the performance of my laptop.
By poor performance I mean, CS:GO 30-35 FPS at 1366x768 resolution. I also tested other games like Dirty Bomb, FarCry3, Paladins and got a similar results with sub-optimal utilization of CPU and GPU resources.
Tried running at all settings from Low to Ultra, the GPU usage jumps up to 80% in Ultra and the fps remains more or less the same.
1I think you need to lower your expectations - that's pretty good performance for such a low-end APU – Tetsujin – 2017-05-22T10:37:42.913
I don't have very high expectations, it's just that the resources are not being used. – Palash Taneja – 2017-05-22T11:11:06.027
At 60-70% CPU usage and 40-50% GPU usage what are your expected numbers? The CPU is likely a multi core CPU and CS:GO probably still single threaded so your CPU might be the bottleneck. – Seth – 2017-05-22T11:15:13.563
Well even the individual core usages are in that range and I want to fully utilize my GPU and CPU. – Palash Taneja – 2017-05-22T11:32:16.010
Is it possible that somehow you have V-sync enabled? If not through game settings, perhaps from an AMD software? If that's the case, that can explain the ~30fps.
