Ive been having a little problems gaming recently. I play Dod/CS source all the time, it would run in the 100s FPS until I limited it to 60 ( from advice here that 100 is useless, and 60 would help with my heating problems ) and everything was going well. Until just a day or two ago. When Im just sitting in a small room Ill get 60 fps, but when I get into the open or any area that thats somewhat crowded it drops to 15-25 fps. Any reason?
( I have almost full specs on my dv6tqe just to give you an idea, and Ive only had it for a month )

100 fps isn't useless. It will make the game smoother. The difference may not truly matter and you may get tearing but for some games it can be useful.
I personally don't think there is any reason to artificially cap FPS or use vsync unless you get tearing you don't like. -

Hell if I know but it is, aint no doubt about it
I believe it's because the screen updates 60 times a second, and giving it 120 frames means the frames that it does render will be more precise and "updated".
Without vsync 60 fps will not sync up magically with the 60 hz refresh rate. More fps gets it closer to a perfect sync
But turning on vsync introduces input lag which is a gamer's nightmare. -
Vsync + Triple buffering allows for any framerate without screen tearing and without as much of an input latency (I'm talking about *true* Triple buffering, like how OpenGL does it, not the joke that DirectX calls Triple Buffering)
My old laptop would always run a lot cooler as long as vsync was on. And no screen tearing makes stuff look a lot nicer. It has its uses in single player games -
There's input latency. For an RPG it doesn't matter at all but for games like counterstrike, TF2, quake, many shooters, it does matter.
But......for an average gamer, not your hardcore type, it probably doesn't matter in the end so if you get tearing go for vsync. -

I don't understand what used my computer to play the games bad now.. and IM looking to fix it. im gonna try those links -

I think I posted this earlier, but anyone play Bad Company 2? I can't seem to get my monitor to display any progressive resolution (720p, 1080p). It is always interlaced (720i, 1080i, etc) for every resolution it supports...

im getting HP dv6t Quad Edition Intel Quad Core i7-2820QM (2.3 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache) 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 6770M 8GB DDR3 System Memory
will that be great for gaming?
i'd love to play crysis 2, gta4, bff2 and upcoming bff3 at 50fps++
hmm -
Not gonna happen unless you really turn down the settings. Go for a Sager 8150 if you want those kinds of frames.

ops just bought this system
its arriving about 10-14 days time to Singapore
I believe I don't need 2gb of ati 6770m though
i believe it's only increased about 1-3 fps in game?
System with nvidia 560m has about 3kg weight though and the battery life is way too fast..
May i know whats the battery life on normal use (power saving gpu) and gaming mood?
is the ati 6770m pair with ati 5850m?

That's great I'm happy with the performance on ati 5850m but with overclocked 850/1100 :d
Fullhd will make my hand itchy to change games setting to 1080p screen and make my fps a lot lower than this normal resolution lol
Most important thing is my cpu i7 2820 + 8gb ram + great gpu
Im thinking to invest a 256gb ssd though :dt -
-
-
meaning ati 5850m is faster than ati 6770m? =/
-
-
I thought ati 6770m is gddr5 card? Hmmm
-

The second number is the one to look at. Generally, something like a 58XX is more powerful than anything below a 68XX. The generation of the GPU generally doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.
Same for Nvidia, a GTX460M is still going to beat the pants off a 550.
The other thing, which others have mentioned, is that most of the 5850s tested by notebookcheck are using GDDR3 memory instead of GDDR5. Makes a difference. -
hopefully its a small performance difference between 5850m and 6770m..
and hope i7 2820 will help the performance of multitasking and gaming mood :d -
-
hows the battery life on this machine? -
-
The i7 2630QM can't use better than DDR3-1333/PC3-10600. It is superfluousness to have have DDR3-1600/PC3-12800, unless the timings were tighter at PC3-10600 specs than the DDR3-1333.
I'm just curious. -
Look closely at the notebookcheck scores. The 6770m actually appears to be faster than the 5850m with gddr3 and pretty close (slightly less) to the gddr5 5850m at stock clocks (within 3%). However, the fastest gddr5 5850 notebookcheck tested only pulled in a 7089 3dmark vantage score at 625/1000. As we all know based on our own scores, the 6770m is actually a fair amount faster at the same memory clock. Not to say that the 5850 was pushed as far as it could go , but clock for clock, I'd call it a wash, especially since notebookcheck was using the .1000 HP drivers which are quite a bit slower.
-
Why i'm i kept getting "Driver not responding". Any idea how to fix this?
Sometimes happened when gaming, sometimes when watching movies. -
The 6850m gddr5 is just a rebranded 5850m gddr5, and as the envy 17 2xxx thread shows, beats the 6770m by quite a bit. -

You know, I've read through a lot of the posts on this forum and the one thing I've never seen is this: The dv67 and dv7t are more powerful than both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. For that reason, 9 out of 10 games that are released on all three platforms (Xbox, PS3, and PC) should look and run the best on PC. If consoles can handle them, then this laptop should be able to handle them. The only exception would be a game that is optimized for the consoles and poorly coded for Windows -- which, despite what you'll hear all over the Internetz, is actually not that common. For instance, I don't plan on having any issue playing Skyrim, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Arkham City, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3 or Rage on this laptop. (Though, Rage does make me hesitate slightly...) Just my two cents. 9 out of 10 games of this generation will run on medium or high, at or near 30 fps.
-
And yes, crappy console to PC ports are pretty common. -
P.S. Oh, yeah... And there are just tons of crappy console ports in that above list... -
are these temps fine when gaming on HP dv6 6115tx (i5 2410m, 4gb ddr3, 500gb 5400rpm , 1GB GDDR5 Radeon 6490) or is there a need to undervolt?
cpu, core1, core 2 - 67-72c
gpu temp - 66-71c
gpu core clock - 750mhz
gpu mem clock - 209 mhz
gpu fan speed - 50-100%
gpu load - 50-100%
hard disk temp - 40-45
all these are while playing games with medium(assassins creed 2) high(devil may cry 4) settings and hp cool sense on the highest mode and turbo mode disabled from power options. -
I guess you got a magic dv6, then.
And yeah, half those games are crappy console ports. Black Ops, DA2, Crysis 2, etc. -
-
I don't even think we can undervolt the CPU.

hi , am new to this forum.
