ASUS GPU Tweak 2

[RevisoryAtol545]

Hi everyone!

I have an ASUS laptop with these following specs: GT 820m, Intel Core I5-4201 CPU@ 1.70GHz 2.40GHz, 4GB RAM and Windows 10 64bit.

I was wondering how to increase my FPS, so I installed a specific program for ASUS called ASUS GPU Tweak 2. Once installed I saw some options like Core Voltage, Clock memory and so on (obviously it lets me change these settings so I can increase or decrease them). There are also pre-made options available like Overclock Gaming mode, High Performance mode and so on.

Now, my question is: If i change Core Voltage, Memory Clock and so on, do these changes work on my PC? Will I have some changes in FPS? Or it works just for gaming laptops/desktop?

I really thanks you for giving a read at this post! Hope to receive some help! Greetings!

Those are for overclocking.. do not overclock a laptop. And if you do overclock you might gain 4 fps in games at the cost of your laptop overheating, thermal throttling and slowly killing itself.

Reset those settings to default ESPECIALLY if you touched the core voltage if you set it too high you will kill your GPU.

Ok I really thanks you for answering me! @Omega, unfortunately I already did that with that Core Voltage but without playing so I hope it didn't get any damage!

don't ever overclock a laptop gpu, just upgrade the ram to 8GB and you're good to go.. my old low end laptop that only have 4GB RAM plays GTA5 with only 25fps.. but after upgrading it to 8GB it runs at 40-50fps..

if you're really going to upgrade it to 8GB of ram i recommend reinstalling your windows as well to see the difference and so the laptop can run with the performance of 8GB ram. I don't say that the laptop won't recognize your 8GB RAM if you don't reinstall, the laptop just won't run at full performance if you don't reinstall.. and so the game that you're playing can use more ram to play (if the program can use more ram, then it can perform better)

GTAV with 4GB RAM takes like 1.8GB of my RAM. But after upgrading it to 8GB, the game takes 3-4GB of my RAM and it runs better

The big difference that i get is with some lower end games like Minecraft. With 4GB RAM i only get 80-90fps, but with 8GB RAM i get 170fps+

And don't multi task while gaming because your CPU's clock speed is really low..

Hi! Thanks for your detailed answer! Exept uprgading my laptop, do you know some tricks to increase FPS?

Lower the game settings and resolution. Keep your drivers up-to-date. There is no magic "increase my FPS" trick.

It's really a bad idea to overclock a laptop GPU, personally I wouldn't touch it but if you do want to risk it just add 10MHz to the core and memory and don't add any core voltage. The other thing you could do is buy a better gaming laptop with a GTX 1060 6GB as this would dramatically improve your FPS.

You won't be upgrading your laptop. Only option is to buy a new one or build a desktop that actually can be upgraded down the road.

as far as i know you laptop's specification is not for next gen games if you're playing one.. it's fine if you run csgo or tomb raider and stuff.. but if you try to run Rise of The Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed Unity, Dishonored 2, it's a bad idea.. also 4GB of RAM is not enough for next gen gaming. You need at least 6GB (and even 8GB for recent games this year)

Its time for new laptop or build a desktop.
You're not gaming on a 820M & 4GB RAM; it was subpar back when it was new; even then, you needed at least 860M + 8GB RAM
