    Okay so so far my experience with the laptop has been great, even though I am the blame for the stuff that it has happened, which caused me to format it twice already . Now I have been playing far cry 2 in max setting, and 1080 res, with 2x with a steady 26-32 fps . However I had to un-install my driver, because crysis just wouldn't run ... it still hasn't, but now I am noticing that the performance in far cry 2 has dropped . Now at the same settings it lower than 12 fps, plays horrid . Also crysis every time i try to run it, when the first plane scene happens ( after opening cut-scene ) it crashes . And I notice, constant stuttering on Call of juarez . So my question is . How can help me problem ? Is it the gpu, or the cpu ? How can I fix them .

    1. Crysis crash

    2. Far cry 2 performance


    I tried the turbogear overclocking to 15%, but the same thing happens .

    Someone help !

    You can have a few problems, its hard to say. Sounds like you have some serious drivers issues there.

    Use the AMD GPU tool in my limit breaker package to OC the gpu's for more performance as the overdrive overclock has no effect for some reason.

    I dont think its a hardware problem in your case.

    How can you play like that? That would be choppy as hell.

    30fps isn't bad for some games (I'm not sure how it is in farcry 2), but in Supcom my fps sometimes drop to 30 during big fights, and it's not laggy.

    I used to play WoW with 7-15 fps, and it was still manageable.

    For Supcom it's ok, but for an FPS it's not. (for me anyways) I understand wanting the best visuals possible, but with the frame rate that low quick turning is just going to be blurry and difficult.

    Everyone can do what they want of course, game play would just be better overall at 45+. If you were playing MP at those settings for instance, you would get fustigated.

    I can't notice the difference between far cry 2's 30 fps, and 45 . Put the game in lowest of settings still ran perfectly . At 27 fps still runs perfectly . Same thing with crysis .

    I think that the best solution would be to reset your comp to factory settings and installing latest drivers. Don't tweak with ur comp it always caused problems!!!
