Problem with frame rate (fps) when playing games (Assasins Creed 2 and Dishonoured are lagging etc)

[techjunkie9]

I just recently purchased this laptop its specifications are as follows:

Intel Core i5 7th Generation 

4 GB RAM

1 TB HDD

2 GB AMD Radeon (TM)  R5 M330  (dedicated graphics)

The game lags even in the dialogue scenes ( voice is heard before characters speak)

Welcome to HP Forums, 
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand you want to know what kind of temperature is safe for your laptop, 
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 
Did you know the HP 15 isn't designed for gaming but for everyday computing?
(Keeping in mind the basic needs of an average user surfing the internet or using it for normal tasks as such).

That said, I'm afraid your HP 15 is not designed for gaming, it's purpose is everyday computing and hence I would request you not to overload the computer with HD games such as the ones you've mentioned as this computer cannot handle it, to know about HP Laptops designed for gaming: Click here

You could try reducing the resolution on the in-game settings and switch the windows settings to performance rather than visual effects to make a minor change, however, the game may heat up your PC, hence make sure you are using a cooling pad as well, to be on a safer side.

Here's how you change windows settings:

• Go to Start Menu > click on Settings.
• Type performance > choose to Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows. 
• In the new window, go to the Visual Effects and select Adjust for best performance.
• click Apply and Ok...this should do the trick.

NOTE: Generally, when temperatures inside the case rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), the risk of damaging important internal components increases greatly. 

Also, to avoid the CPU damage, we do not recommend throttling or overclocking the CPU, I recommend you refrain from using high-performance games on this laptop as it's not built for the same.
