    I bought Sonic Generations, and when I play, the FPS is kinda bad...

    (Asus G53SW-A1 with 285.62 drivers)

    FHD all max:

    most of the time I get 30 Fps, and somtimes 10 FPS... like GTA and NFS HP.

    What should I do...?

    Buy the game on a console since this is apparently a crappier-than-usual PC port?

    285.62 WHQL, 840/1670/1600, modded vbios for 1.0v.
    ThrottleStop is running in background.

    NVCP set as following:

    prefer maximum performance
    single display mode

    OS is a fresh install, core parking is disabled.
    I cant help much than this.
    What i can advice is to max out the game without using AntiAliasing, also overclock your card a bit.

    but as i already stated before, since you got serious issues with GTAIV and other games, i think your gpu isnt working correctly as it should.
    Yes i play with an xbox wireless controller+receiver.

    Oh! ok, so I have 285.69 (after .62 almost burned my gpu), .69 MUCH better to me, with:

    prefer maximum performance
    single display mode

    umm I will try ThrottleStop again then.

    Thanks!

    Uhm, as i stated in your previous threads, ThrottleStop is VITAL for all the G-series notebook that have a Sandy Bridge cpu.
    There isnt any notebook that isnt affected by the Throttling bug. Until asus fixes it with a bios update, we're screwed.
    Therefore TS is vital to have a correct working machine. It must be launched and turned on using the own button, then minimized, every single time you boot in windows.
