It is the discrete graphics for the A6 - 3400m, is there anyway to boost the core clock? Sapphire Trixx didn't work. I already have the cpu overclocked for max of all 4 cores to 2.3ghz and boost to 2.7ghz with K10stat. I monitored things and during a game, the cpu cores never passed 40% and the graphics mostly stayed at 100% gpu load, meaning that's the bottleneck.
I am not worried about over heating since I have a dual fan cooling pad underneath the computer.

I have read posts where people were talking about overclocking this gpu and the discrete gpu for the mobile a8. msi afterburner should work. Mine doesn't have a descrite gpu so I can't say much beyond that. All I got is a A8 3530mx and yes I overclock it.
Afterburner will not overclock it. Every time I type 450 mhz for core and hit enter, it instantly goes back to 400mhz. Weird thing is, when I open settings in afterburner, it shows 2 6520g's even tho only 1 exists.
Figured I would update if anyone has this issue too. My laptop came with 4gb of ram in 1 stick. I just added a second 4gb stick to make 8gb total. My gaming performance increased more then I thought it would. On WEI Ram went from 5.9 to 7.3, graphics went from 4.5 to 5.9, gaming graphics went from 6.1 to 6.5.
Simply put, if you can't overclock, a 2nd stick of ram will do the trick.
