Gaming through Boot Camp

[Kirodoc]

I have a mid 2012 MBP 2.6 GHz Intel i7, 8. GB ram, nVidia GT 650M and I'm running Windows Pro 8.1 64. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I'm looking to get the best performance I can out of my games. I mostly play HoTS and Overwatch, but I'd like to try Fallout 4.

What are some things I can do to maximize my performance? Should I upgrade to Windows 10? I hear that improves frame rates. Anything I can fiddle with that doesn't involve new hardware?

Windows 10 is a good upgrade, I couldn't stand windows 8.1. As for maximizing performance, there isn't a whole lot you can do.

Someone mentioned over locking the video card. Does that sound viable?

If you feel like sending your computer to an early grave, sure.

iMac 27" (Late 2013), EXTERNAL LaCie 256Gb SSD drive, Windows 10 Home, made by Boot Camp, yet NO Internal HDD Boot Camp partition, to mess with my 3Tb Fusion drive!! WinClone is the key . . . . it's ALWAYS, the CORRECT SEQUENCE . . . . . . . . . .

Getting the most recent drivers.

A laptop's components are all soldered on, there's nothing you can upgrade that would affect gaming performance.
