    I have a 24" 1080p external attached to my Rig but I wouldn't think I would get FPS drops like this on a 485M, I'm running Crysis and will go from 50 fps down to 10-15 fps and then jumping back up.

    I don't know much about this so any help would be appreciated.

    What settings are you running Crysis at?

    Monitor all of your temps during gameplay with this and report back.

    Ive run it at 1080p on max settings down to 720P on high, I get a smooth FPS rate and then get quick low points where I drop to mby even 5 fps for just about a second then it quickly ramps back up

    I was running at 900P on the external with settings on "high" and hit 71c on CPU and 74c on GPU when the first fps drop happened, I was running a steady 60-75fps roughly up to that point.

    Use GPU-Z and save a log and run the game then copy and paste the log here

    The log was too big to paste, it took a few minutes to get it to have a drop again, Right when I experienced the drop is when I closed out crysis & uploaded it to megaupload so it should be right near the end if anything noticeble shows up.

    seems to be throttling towards the end. Temps are fine could be power throttling do you have your power settings set to high performance?

    What happens when there is a slow down is there excessive particles, smoke? DO you have it overclocked? Play it again can you cause it to dip or does it happen after a period of time? you can use the code command
    Code:
     text here [/ code] no space to paste the log here delete the old log first. also what settings do you have it set to? Also does it do it when you use the internal laptop display?

    says 100-240, Just ran it for a while but this time i used HWinfo32 to change fans to 100% and I didnt even get a noticeable drop when I was on 1080P and at VERY HIGH(still got 30frames on average), still off though, I didn't think my temps were high b4.

    here's the log, just in case I'm missing something... this log was too large even for the code block so i uploaded another .txt to megaupload

    the only parts where it drops I think is caused by me pausing the game for a minute and later switching it to 1080p again when I had to pause a second time.

    Tried out Battlefield BadCompany 2: Vietnam and ran on max for a while and then it sorta crashed, my screen went blank and started glitching different colors.

    I got this in the log

    if you restart the computer and go into the bios you can see which Power adapter you have I am not sure which one comes with the R3 I know that it used to come with the 150W adapter and now they send out the 240W. If you have the latter that could be the issue.

    So with the fans at 100% you have no issues at all? that is odd as the GPU-z log showed no thermal throttling :confused:

    R3 never came with 150watt, it's always been 240, 150 wouldn't handle the output of the unit.
