Pavilion frame rate issue

[Colby_Mallery]

Alright do to Covid-19 I needed a good laptop for all of my new online classes. I went for a decently average laptop, it being a pavilion. However anytime I go to YouTube, Twitch or any other streaming device my frame rate on the actual video is awful.

@Colby_Mallery Here's all you need to know and do, to fix this issue:

There are several factors that contribute to FPS:

• Monitor limitations - The refresh rate of a monitor, measured in hertz (Hz), demonstrates the maximum number of cycles per second. 1Hz is equal to 1 FPS.

• Tearing - The term tearing describes a visual artifact where the monitor shows information from different frames in a single screen.

• Sync technologies - There are several sync technologies that fix tearing: V-sync, AMD Free-Sync, Nvidia G-sync, and more. They all work differently to address the same problem. Check your hardware specs to see which technologies, if any, are compatible with your devices.

Ways to increase FPS and system performance:

• Update the BIOS: go to HP Notebook PCs - Updating the BIOS

• Update the graphics driver.

  Go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, enter your PC model, then select the driver for your graphics card.

• Most games allow you to change the graphics settings. Using a lower graphic quality often improves FPS.

• Close any applications or programs that are not being used.

• Plug notebook PCs into an AC adapter to give the graphics card more power.
