Laptop APU/GPU

[TopGrapefruit]

Alright so my A10 8700p is a little beast when it comes to running games like CS:GO and TF2 and Minecraft but would it be possible to squeeze more performance out via MSI Afterburner to get more FPS in more demanding titles

system specs in my Signature

 

EDIT: I also use AMD Virtual Super Resolution at 1600x900

I dunno about overclocking the GPU side of an APU, but if you really are rocking DDR3-1333 memory, I'd suggest upgrading it to faster memory because iGPUs are one of the few things that favor very fast memory.

you can try but presuming its a laptop temps will be an issue so don't expect anything amazing, you could thermal throttle a lot which would worsen performance

Would a Upgrade to 16gb of 1600mhz (Max Toshiba allow) show any real gaming improvement

I can't seem to find anything that's DDR3-1333 vs. DDR3-1600, but DDR3-1600 vs. DDR3-1866 showed some improvement.

 

But actually now that I've seen it, it's probably not worth it since it was adding single digits at best.
