I recently got a new computer, and I seem to get low frame rates. It is an ASUS Q501LA with an i5 processor. Minecraft, (60 fps) SimCity, (20 fps) and Autodesk Inventor (no idea, but laggy). The reason that I'm asking is that my friend, with an A6 processor can get the same frame rates or higher. The frame rates aren't terrible, but for a new computer with that processor shouldn't they be higher? If a processor or graphics card upgrade is the answer, where can I get one for my computer? Other ideas are also welcome.
Low Framerates on a New ASUS?

I3, I5, and I7 it is important to look up there speeds. A search on google shows me that is is an I5 that is 1.6 Ghz. That is fine for some of the older games but it is by no means a gaming laptop. I would email the manufacturer and ask if you can upgrade your processor and you might be able so send it to them for an upgrade. Another thing is that there might be background processes going on such as scanning the computer for viruses from your anti virus software or windows might be downloading and installing updates.

I have an ASUS desktop, but I'm not sure if it also applies to laptops. So here's the deal, go to the windows search engine and search for ai suite. If you don't have it you can search on google and find it in ASUS.com.
Once you have it, open it click tool, then EPU. While there's a option -auto- -max performance- -max power saving- choose "max performance".
This other step might be easier, if you charge you laptop while playing, it will boost your FPS or performance.
Also on the bottom right corner there should be a battery bar, click on it and turn on max performance not power saving!
hope i helped. Rate me if i helped.
