How to Speed Up Your Potato AMD PC

It is already 2020, and it is the age of smartphone games. But, most people will still prefer to play PC games instead of mobile games, including me. However, the price of hardware is getting more and more expensive, and some people are stuck with their low-end potato PCs, including me. I am even grateful that some AAA old games can still be run on my AMD A9 laptop with Radeon R5 iGPU and 4 GB RAM. Today, in this article, we will talk about how to speed up your Potato AMD PC. I hope some of my methods can be really useful for people who are new to the PC.

Use AMD Radeon Software for gaming
This method can only work on old games. I finished Assassin's Creed 4 - Black Flag with this A9 laptop, even though there are some lags happening, but some parts can reach around 50 FPS.

I have something called AMD Radeon Software when I click the right mouse button. It is the software to configure your AMD GPU. Nvidia GPU has its own too. I'm basically playing around with the configurations.

As I mentioned before, my laptop is potato, so to play a game, it must be in the lowest graphic. However, thanks to AMD Radeon Software, it will override the graphic. The in-game settings may be written "low," but the texture is kinda ok because of the AMD Radeon Software.

As we can see, the AMD Radeon Software has some configurations such as Anti-Aliasing, Tessellation, and more. There are some options, like Use Application Settings, Enhance Application Settings, and Override Application Settings. We will go for Override.

Anti-Aliasing and Tessellation are the only configurations that are available to Override. My settings are Anti-Aliasing: Override at the level 2x, and Tessellation Mode: Override at the level OFF. This is the best method of how to speed up your potato AMD PC if you're into gaming.

Speed up for works
Windows 10 is terrible and makes my PC run slower. When I'm not into gaming, I'm browsing on the internet and doing some assignments, then lags happen. You can't just blame AMD Radeon Software because it is for gaming.

Just go to Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced, Performance, Settings > Visual Effect, then Adjust for Best Performance. It works on other than AMD too. I hope methods of how to speed up your potato AMD PC can be useful.
