I do not know why you would receive that error message, but do make sure that you got the BIOS update programme from Lenovo's own website. With regards to the NVIDIA drivers, whether you allow Windows to install them for you, or install them yourself is not likely to make a massive difference, either. At this point in time, it is unlikely that NVIDIA will find (or, indeed, invest in) ways to substantially improve the performance of the GT 755M. I think Windows doesn't automatically install all of the additional bells and whistles, though, so if you want NVIDIA Experience to be installed you may have to download the drivers yourself.

You mean overclocking? It may improve performance a bit, but given that heat management inside the Y510p isn't exactly optimal I personally wouldn't try overclocking components as it'll probably cause overheating. That BIOS mod allows you to replace your WiFi card with one that was not 'approved' by Lenovo. It unlocks other options, too, but I've personally never had any need for those. Yes, there are programmes that allow you to test some of the hardware, such as SiSoft Sandra, but from your description I get the impression that it's the OS and/or background processes that are slowing down your system. Try a complete system refresh - after backing up all of your data, of course, and making sure that you can reinstall all of the software that you require after the OS has reinstalled.

Bos Maior Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Throttling is a good feature. It allows you get some extra performance if needed, without overheating the computer. What sort of graphics card a game requires is best checked on a game-by-game basis - check the vendor's website or, if you use those services, Steam/Gog/Itch.io. You should be fine for most graphics-intensive games released in 2014/2015. The Witcher 3 plays pretty well at 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
