How to Get The Absolute Most Performance From My Computer

Mikoto Misaka · May 30, 2014

Hello, everyone. I've been experiencing some slow loading times and occasional stuttering in most video games and I want to know how I can fix that. Beyond that, I also want to know if there is a way I can optimize the performance of my gaming laptop and if there is, if someone could please tell me all of them. Below are my system specifications:

Alienware 14 (Not M14 or M14x), 2013 Edition
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M Discrete Graphics with 1GB GDDR5 RAM
Intel Core i7-4770MQ Processor
Windows 8 64-bit Operating System
8 GB RAM

I don't have one nor do I have enough money to buy one. :/

I was asking if you had one, but yes also recommending you to get one. SSD will boost lag while anything is loading. But during gaming not going to help so much. Graphics card if your playing on a setting borderline to high, will get occasional dips below 20-30 which causes studdering and such. Running fraps or similar program if the game lets it run, will show you that, otherwise you can try playing at a lower res. Wifi adapter, or wifi router/internet speed could also be an issue. To test that go into internet connections and properties and see what your internet speeds are. Your hhd seek times might also be slowing things down. To much load on a 5400 rpm drive will result in that, 7200 should be better. Could also be the cpu/gpu getting to hot and throttling. We don't have to much to go on here, but those are 'some' possibilities.

I suggest that you download/install/run hwinfo while your gaming and doing stuff on your laptop, it will show you temps, memory usage, cpu/gpu loads and such, network speeds, and pretty much everything that could be used to determine where things are being held up.

Because quite honestly, it could be cooling, overheating, cpu, gpu, memory, internet, wifi adapter, broadband adapter, network speeds, hard drive load, just so many things. But running this program will be able to give pretty much a complete snapshot of whats going on. Would really help out.

I'll do that.

Yup, if you can screen shot it. It'll probably take two or three screenshots to get all the hwinfo info. But then that way we can see everything. Don't think toms has a way to post a pic, so ill figure out easiest way to see your info, you work on getting the info, and I guess we'll meet in the middle. If I don't respond, just pm me, sometimes toms doesn't give me all notifications and yours will get lost in the thousands in my que thing if at all.
