PC Graphics

Hi guys

I have a Lenovo z51-70 laptop with 4gb of AMD r9 m375 graphics. The problem is when i play games when power cable is connected, the game runs smoothly (around 5 secs.) and then lags VERY BAD (20 secs) then again runs smoothly then again lags very bad. This cycle continues and when i remove power cable, the game constantly runs slow butnot as slow as when it lags during power connected. I also found that the GPU readings came in gaps (or pulses) when checked in GPU-Z (Image attached) and also the reading comes ONLY WHEN THE BAR COMES otherwise its blank stating 0 and -, the bar comes at intervals of around 10 secs. Please help me out with this. Will be happy to provide any more info if required.

Thanks

Need some more information:

What Windows version do you have installed?

What CPU/APU do your have installed (Intel or AMD)?

What AMD Driver do you have installed?

Here is Lenovo Support Driver Download for the Z51-70 Laptop: laptops and netbooks :: lenovo z series laptops :: z51 70 Lenovo PC Support - us . See if you have any outdated drivers that you can update on your laptop.

Thanks for replying. My windows version is 1803 (OS build 17134.228)

I have an intel i7 -5500U processor with a AMD Radeon r9 m375 4GB inbuilt graphics card.

Since you have an Intel APU the only AMD driver you need to download and install is the R9 m375 which you can do from here: AMD Radeon™ R9 M375 Drivers & Support | AMD .

Use this method by kingfish​ to install the AMD Graphics on your laptop: Laptop graphics update...How to . Follow the directions carefully.
