Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gaming graphics score is based on the primary graphics adapter. If this system has linked or multiple graphics adapters, some software applications may see additional performance benefits.
Caution: Based on the results of the WinSAT Disk assessment, your system drive may have slower response times under some workloads. Performance results will depend on the specific applications used and the amount of memory available. If your experience is satisfactory, no action is needed.




I would really like to know what to do as i have not been able to play any game as it requires hardware acceleration. Thanks for your time.

Yes. I downloaded the amd driver autodetect and it detected the driver to be downloaded and i downloaded and installed it but there's no difference. I also tried updating it but it tells me the best driver (standard VGA graphics adapter) has already been installed.

Yes. The laptop works well apart from the fact that i can't play games or anything that requires a large graphic memory.
 


What make and model of motherboard did you install?

Did you install the chipset drivers?

Are there settings in the BIOS to specify the graphics adapter?

I installed intel chipseet drivers and the make of the motherboard is intel core i7.

I don't know what the bios settings say
 


The cpu is an intel i7.

Who made the motherboard? ECS, Asus, MSI, ASRock, Gigabyte?

What model is the mobo?
