Solution


check you gpu temps, if its fine then overclock it (voids warranty). will give you a bit of a fps boost. If you are a tech wizard then you can take the laptop apart, and reapply some thermal paste to achieve lower temps

You probaly could technichally upgrade your gpu but it would be pretty hard and overall just not reccomended. Its ok for gaming but its a laptop and unless you pay lots of money its unlikely you will be able to get one that is as good as a desktop performance. I would bet yours could run battlefield 3 at medium settings at 30+ fps @1080p possibly if you tweaked some of the settings

you have to crack the BIOS to allow BCLK changes but that is so much work its not worth it. if your graphics card is not overheating then it can be overclocked fairly easily. as for replacing it, won't happen. almost all gpus are soldered on (a lot of cpus aren't though, but replacing cpu wont give you much gaming performance)

Laptops overheating is a common issue. Buy some sort of cooler for your laptop and you'll be good to go. Your laptop has good specifications. In fact, a friend of mine has a laptop with similar secs and he could play BF4 at High with playable fps. Hope this helped.
