3 Essential Tips to Have an Amazing Experience of Laptop Gaming

Although gaming on a laptop is not as perfect as gaming on a desktop PC, it offers you a great advantage of having a blast of gaming during an utterly dreary train journey or similar scenarios. Here are tips on making your laptop gaming an amazing experience.

1. Cut Down Resolution

After you buy a gaming laptop from PowerPCMall for example, it’s a good idea to turn the screen resolution down for the top performance, especially with more challenging games. In any case, it’s better to have a smoothly running shooter where you can actually target and shoot the villains, than a dazzling slideshow wherein you’re jerking and stuttering around the level without a hope of hitting a barn gate.

Drop down the display resolution as much as possible, considering your own tolerance for poor graphics. Also, go to the in-game menu to turn detail levels down and make sure you dispose of fancy effects such as water ripple effects, detailed shadows, anti-aliasing and so on.

2. Don’t Outplay

It’s a good idea to choose games with lesser specification requirements since these will run way more slickly on a laptop. This refers to games having easy graphics or probably older titles.

However, that doesn’t meant that you should play rubbish games because you can get some great tech bargains in the form of contemporary indie games that aren’t GPU- or CPU-intensive such as Thimbleweed Park or Cuphead and some classics such as The Sims 4 (which has an actual ‘laptop’ mode to help you run the game smoothly).

3. Organize

Over time, your laptop slowly builds up debris which makes it more lethargic as you go on installing more games and software. You can make your laptop run faster by cleaning it with a Disk Cleanup. Or you may use a free utility like CCleaner or the likes.

Also make sure you are not using any other services or apps that you never use while playing a game, because they’d consume resources that could be otherwise used by the game.

Close all apps that are running and you can even see the Task Manager to check which apps are eating up the most memory, CPU and disk space. Background processes can also be closed. However, take care of not shutting down something that is essential for the operation of Windows. If you’re not sure about this matter, better leave it alone.

Lastly, make sure the drivers for your laptop’s hardware are all updated, especially the graphics drivers. This is indeed crucial and can bring a huge improvement in the performance of some games, if you have a GPU not integrated into the processor.

So, have you started planning to make the most of your laptop?
