Product: HP 15-BA079DX (TOUCH) (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm stuck with this laptop while I wait for my main system's problems are sorted. Seeing the specs for this thing, it should at least be able to play lighter e-sport games like CSGO. Simply put, it doesn't.


It seems that no matter what I tried within the game, the performance would just tank. At a resolution of 640X480 and graphics settings set to its lowest, the game runs at a measly 15fps.


I tried various monitoring apps to find two things: the graphics is only given 384MB of dedicated video memory to work with, and the integrated graphics frequency tops out at 300ish MHz instead of AMD's specified 720MHz. The latter will be discussed in a seperate thread.


Is there any way to increase the amount of dedicated vid memory in this laptop? The BIOS doesn't have the option to increase this (or even allow to change anything aside from boot order). Does adding more RAM to the system automatically add the amount of assigned video memory?


Answers, especially those that resolve the issue, are highly apreciated.
