To optimise your gaming laptop for cloud gaming effectively:

1. Use a Wired Ethernet Connection – more stable and faster than Wi-Fi.
2. Prioritise Your Network Traffic – enable Quality of Service (QOS) for cloud gaming apps in your router settings.
3. Close Background Apps – free up CPU/RAM and reduce latency.
4. Update GPU & Network Drivers – ensures top performance and compatibility.
5. Use 5GHz Wi-Fi (if wireless) – faster and less interference than 2.4GHz.
6. Keep Laptop Cool – Use a cooling pad to avoid throttling.
7. Disable VPN/Firewall (if safe) – can reduce lag and improve connection.
8. Choose the Nearest Server Region in your cloud gaming service for the lowest latency.
