If it has 1gb dedicated graphics, it may mean that the game isn't running in the dedicated graphics.
Try this Press ctrl-alt-esc together, it will open the task manager, from the tabs, you'll see "performance", click on it and it will show your laptops hardware. Somewhere in there you'll see the name of the dedicated graphics on this your and usage should be at %0
Minimize the task manager and run any game, when the game is running minimize it(don't close or exit), then go back to the task manager and check if the percentage on the dedicated graphics card has increased.
If it doesn't, your system may be having driver issues and you may need to reinstall the graphics card drivers Thank You. I found out I didn't have up to date graphics drivers, now even with the 3gb of RAM the game is managing 30 fps |

First of.. No 65k system can play gta 5 at 60fps(even at lowest settings
If it runs better on your friend's pc, a lot of things(besides the ram) can contribute to that.
The processor inside your friends pc might be a different gen.
Judging by the 10-15fps you said, I can bet yours is 2nd/3rd gen (been there).
Your friends pc may contain an ssd(hence the faster boot)
Your friend might have been lucky to get one with older Nvidia card(happens sometimes, even seller may not know it has dedicated graphics)
You've gotten yours for a while now and you've probably never Defrag your hard drive before
Your pc components may have accumulated dust(maybe you use it on the bed or rug)
Your hard drive might be failing
Then lastly.. RAM. Besides the 1gb difference between both PCs, your friend's laptop might contain 2x2gb rams, which has been proven to help laptops without dedicated graphics when gaming cos when there's no dedicated graphics on a laptop, it draws power from the ram. So, when there's two rams of the same capacity in a laptop. It helps gaming. I call it "low budget SLI"
There is a lot of things to know about computers.. I want to buy a HP pavilion 15 laptop with decent specifications. Specs; Cpu: Intel Core i5 (5th Gen) 5200U/ 2.2GHz Max Turbo Speed: 2.7 GHz Number of Cores: Dual-Core Ram: 4GB (Upgradeable to 8GB) Resolution: 1366 x 768 (HD) HDD: 1TB Graphics Processor: Intel HD Graphics 5500 Graphics Memory: 2005 MB (2GB) So my question is will this laptop be able to handle GTA V without lagging. Please I need your input before I can make my final decision. |

I bought a London used HP Probook 6450b from a guy they call "Alfa" for 65000 naira at computer village. Sometime later, my friend wanted to buy a laptop, I suggested he bought the same type I use.
He bought his for 60000 naira, when I was setting it up for him, I put on my laptop and his at the roughly same time, his laptop booted faster than mine, nothing appeared wrong at this time.
Fast forward a week, my friend bought a GTA 5 CD from computer village, after he installed the game, he gave me the CD to install the game on my laptop, but I didn't have time to play it at that moment.
When I got home, I decided to play the game, and to my surprise, the ran very slowly, around 10-15 fps, the next day, my friend called me to ask whether I was enjoying the game, I told him what happened and he was confused, he said the game was getting a minimum of 60 fps on his laptop, I then asked him how much RAM he had, he quickly checked and told me 4GB, since I didn't know how much I had, I checked mine, and to my surprise, I only had 3GB of RAM! I then checked the official specs of the laptop when it first came out, it came with 4GB of RAM!
My question is, should I go and challenge "Alfa" to get the RAM changed or should I let it slide? . Bro, I have used this PC personally. Over the last 8 years I have use over 13 laptops including a MacBook air 2013. And besides my Mac, this ProBook is among the best top 3 in terms of durability and performance for a low cost PC. I used it for roughly two years, I was looking for excuse so it would spoil so I get another one cus I was tired. Don't bother Alfa, if u want u can make ur own 6 GB ram sef. It's like a memory card that u buy and they slot it in for you. Just buy a 2gb ram slot, they will remove the 1gb from ur 3gb and add the 2gb u bought making 2+2= 4GB. It should not be more than 2 or 3,500. |

TheManOfTheYear: Can the NVidia graphics card be added? If yes, got any idea on the price? To my understanding using a laptop theirs NO WAY one can upgrade Graphics card like for instance having NVidia1050 and you want to upgrade to NVidia1060. It's not possible because Most graphics card are attached to the motherboard. The only thing is update of graphics versions apart from that just forget it. BUT on Desktops you can upgrade to your satisfaction because most cards can be replaced easily. That's why most times Gamers hate to admit Gamming on PC is way better than consoles. |

Since you are now his good customer of his, by referencing someone to him, just meet him on a friendly manner and plead to him to either change it for you or upgrade it, OR still get a better one and add some money by trading in your present one.
Never blame him if you want to resolve this and get result as you have had yours for sometime now. It could be dust or virus that slow your system. Goodluck. |

SmartPolician: How can you buy a laptop without checking the RAM and ROM?
Those memories are a must-check
Take it to him, he may upgrade the RAM if he's a nice person. RAM doesn't cost much.
When I bought a fairly used laptop from Computer Village, the fan started having issues 2 days later.
I took it to the seller and he took it to the guy who fixed it.
Today, the laptop is still intact Please like how much does it cost to increase RAM on a 7 inch tablet |
