Hello everyone!
I recently bought a laptop based on AMD hardware. The computer is not that bad, but I find it very disappointing in games performance. Theoretically, it could run a lot of games in medium options like Tomb Raider, Sonic Generations, Sleeping dogs, etc. The fact is, it can't, and even play them on low settings with a lot of breaks and low fps. Later, I found out that there was a feature named Turbo Core that could improve my CPU speed from 1.6Ghz to 2.4Ghz. Again, I got disappointed because in only reaches 1.8Ghz speed.
To make sure it could reach the 2.4Ghz, I installed AMD overdrive to change the configs, but since I'm a noob on overclocking and alll that stuff, I'm afraid that changing the default configs would damage my computer.
So, what should I do, and how do I do it, to change the speed to 1.8Ghz to 2.4Ghz on turbo core?
Here are the specs:
HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15
AMD A8-4555m APU 1.6Ghz Quad Core (2.4Ghz in Turbo Core mode... supposedly)
Ati Radeon HD7600G 1GB + Ati Radeon HD8500M 1.5GB
6GB RAM DDR3
500GB HD SATA II
