Seems nice enough.

I'll defer looking on the web for comparisons. You can do that.

But most games are set to give you the best EYE CANDY and make the game PLAYABLE.

Now it's your choice to exchange EYE CANDY for more Frames Per Second (FPS.)

If you want more FPS, you can drop the settings or effects. So my bet is you are getting fine performance for the settings you or the app selected.

Did you try changing the game settings?

Now head over to dell with your service tag number and see what they have to offer in the area of bios and drivers.

Then look over all the stuff you have running and see if you need it all.

Thanks for this.

I've found that usually cleaning up other stuff barely adds much performance if we call performance Frames Per Second. Pulling back on effects is where you get you big paybacks.

Sometimes you need to google about a game to find how to get more FPS.

Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=Increase+FPS+for+Fallout+4

Use that search but put in the game you want more FPS.

Every little bit helps

May not do anything for games but it just seems like a waste to be using up limited resources to have a bunch of useless stuff installed/loaded/running.

Here's a bigger bit.

That falls under

The heading of useless stuff.

I've been running this w7 machine for 8 yrs.

I'm still finding stuff that is of no value to me.
