    Speeding up an old laptop - need some help please!


    I have an old 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5-520M processor, 2GB of RAM Elitebook. I want to try and speed up the integrated GPU if possible. Besides a new SSD, is there some software out there that might help with FPS? It has a new copy of windows 10 on it with DX 12 - or if there is a hack as well, overclock etc (guessing here)

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
