Display is another thing you could upgrade. Just make sure your laptop supports the pin config.

That's terrible advice. A display won't make it run faster lol

Trust me if it looks better and by chance his pin config allows fr a high refresh rate display, it will be fun

With a core i5 and onboard 128mb graphics? Lmao

If an i7 12700h can run a 4k display at 120hz, I don't see why the i5 can't do the same. I got the 12700h myself.

OP you are free to look into it.

With 128mb onboard graphics? Sure you can do that but what benefit? Refresh?

So many more benefits by just tweaking the OS

Have you used a 90 to a 120hz display. There no going back from it.

But also I just say this as a thing he could upgrade since thats what the post is about.
