There are two types of video adapters installed in laptops. It can be an integrated video card or an external one. The first type of video cards in the process uses the computer's RAM, as a result of which such video adapters are much "weaker" than external ones. Sometimes the resources of the video card are not enough for stable work with a certain application or game. In such cases, they resort to a method called "overclocking a video card".

Step 1
Overclocking a video card in a laptop usually means changing its parameters to improve performance when working with a certain application or a number of them. Integrated video cards themselves take the necessary share of the computer's RAM, thereby feeding their resources. External video adapters have their own RAM, which allows them not to consume system resources, thereby slowing down its operation.
Step 2
To overclock your graphics card, you need to disable settings that can slow down many applications. The most common are: vertical sync (vertical sync pulse), anisotropic filtering, and 3D buffering. If one of these parameters is not important for a specific application, then it should be disabled. To do this, open the video adapter control panel. In the case of Radeon graphics cards, this will be the ATI Catalyst Control Center.
Step 3
Go to the Gaming tab, 3D Application Settings sub-item. We advise you to turn off vertical sync, because it slows down the processing speed quite a lot during the game. As for anisotropic filtering, it does not overload the video adapter. But buffering when working with a 3D application should be disabled only if its mandatory presence is not required by the program or game. I would like to note right away that after disabling some parameters, the picture quality in games will become a little worse, but delays and other lags should disappear.
