Low FPS in bf3, GTX 675

so i got this laptop Vision X-Series NB3575+ 15,6'' bærbar hos MM-Vision.dk

with 675m, but for somme reason my FPS in Bf3 is horrible around 30-45 on everything low i cannot seem to fix it, i tried both the newest driver, and the one that comes with the computer

anybody got any suggestions on how i can fix it??

 

Sounds like its not working on the 675M. Try updating the drivers to the newest ones from Nvidia. Also are you plugged in and not just running on battery

 

I tried the newest driver, and i have my laptop plugged in of course

 

I would try using MSI Afterburner and use the in game display to see GPU Usage and clocks.

 

just a side note, i use an external monitor

 

i just tested my GPU uusage and clock, average GPU usage is 85% core clock is 620, and memory clock is 1500

 

Does it run fine when playing on the built in monitor?

 

you have got it set to high performance havnt you.

 

I will test that, now

 

Yes i have set it on high performance

 

How does it run when you just use the laptop display? And what are the resolutions of the 2 displays. Unplug the external for this test.

 

no it dont make any diffrence at all, but they are samme resoulution, i just see my gpu usage is really low, in the last match it rarely get over 70% usage, befor i had this gtx 675m i had a ATI 7970, and this looks like the enduro issue just for 675m...

 

You have that exact machine you linked in with the i7 Quad core?

If so i would be skeptical of how the processor is performing.

 

I too think the CPU is bottlenecking your GPU. If not, you may want to fresh (clean) install the latest 306.97 WHQL. This could be one hell of a nice case of Optimus interference.

You are aware that the 675 is only about half as powerful as the 7970M, even with the Enduro Issues? I would not have downgraded to a 675, just saying.

 

what sort of scores are you getting with 3dmark11 / vantage / 3dmark06 so we can compare them to other lappys with the same spec as yours.

 

How about trying the original drivers that came with the disc. You will want to get rid of the current ones totally. First download and install DriverSweeper. Uninstall the current drivers like you normally would a program. Reboot in safe mode, run DriverSweeper, reboot in normal mode, install drivers from the disc.

 

^ walkthrough in my signature below

 

bahh, it doesnt work

 

all the drivers ive tried including original default have sporadic crashes in almost every game. played 8 rounds today on 4 different servers and only one game had no crashes. then next game had 2
there are various reasons. could be punkbuster or even audio which has been mentioned a few times but ive lowered my audio in game from cinema to tv but still the same.

 

and i got the samme problem as the enduro issue, if i turn my settings up higher from low,. it just stays at 30-40 fps even on high

 

This is not only bf3

 

have you run 3dmark11 and vantage to see what scores they give you.

 

that is very interesting, i have the 675m as well, i got 30~45 on ultra settings, with 2X AA

 

chould you please tell me your driver version, and if you have something special configurered in your driver?

 

right now my driver is 306.97, before was 306.23, both worked fine. in 3D settings, is your battlefield 3 set to Nvidia GPU? other from that i didnt fiddle with anything

 

i just formatted, my pc but it didnt fix anything, i am about to cry over this, first my hd 7970m and now my GTX 675m why can i never enjoy any game without lag....

 

this is a session of Call of duty Black ops, everything maxed out, and it lags alot

 

should RMA it

 

Stupid question, but are you sure it's using the nVidia card and not the IGP? Double check in nVidia Control Panel

download dxwebsetup and update directx.

Double (triple) check system is using high performance mode. On most Clevo's Fn+Esc brings up the Clevo Control Center. Make sure it's set to "performance" there.

Just running through my list.

 

Yes i am 100% sure, i can hear it feel it and see the temp rises on gtx 675m

 

Nothing happends when i click FN ESC
i did a 100% reinstallation my system, and i am not sure i have thoese drivers actually, samme goes with keyboard cannot change colour because i lack the drivers.

 

maybe that can be the reason of all my troubles??

 

The most wierd thing is when i turn my BF3 on ULTRA it perform 95-100% of the utilization samme goes when i run Benchmarks then it performe fine aswell, this is 100% like the enduro issue but i dont know why it comes on my nvidia card maybe because this machine was originaly born with AMD??.. it have been formatted like 2 times since then

 

The Curse of AMD will never be extinguished from its Clevo victims.

 

I laughed so hard lol


To the OP, RMA it. This is wrong and doesn't seem to be fixable, although you should try a older nVIDIA driver

 

Well I have a bigger problem with my Desktop which cost like 1500€ back in 2011...

GTX570 and I7 2600K 4GB DDR3 2133mhz Ripjaw...

Can't play BF3 on low, it's always stucking, fps drop to complete 0 from time to time. HUGE LAG. Already sent to RMA and they said the computer was ok, ?

I wonder why did the store installed ATI card and drivers on my system if they concluded my pc was ok...
Keep Cool

 

Keep Cool

 

I think i might have found why i lag so much, My cpu is between 95-100 celsius hot, and GPU 80-95

 

This explains it. When the CPU reaches 100°C it downclocks itself to 50%, in my case from 3.3 Ghz to 1.6 Ghz until it reaches 80°C again. It's an automatic process to prevent damage.

 

what do you do to make your CPU go to 100C? i can hardly make it break 70

 

In my case it was video rendering, all 6 cores @ 100% load over 30mins. After a thermal repaste it is now 78°C
The first gen desktop i7's run hot, you know. But it does not explain why Xerion has such high temps on his machine.

@OP I would repaste the GPU and CPU with a good thermal paste, it's really easy. It should not be dusty fans as the notebook is quite new right?
See if it stays below 80°C, that should be tolerable, bot not anything higher.

 

I think my PC is alrady quite dusty, my old PC dust was a major problem ( i live on a big farm where tractors drive right outside my windows) but i cannot repaste it or take off the cover, since then i will break the warranty???

all i do is play Battlefield 3, for a 15 miniuts then it gets hot and major lagg happens

 

Go to the next reseller in reach and have him clean the fans & repaste the thermal pastes. Is not that expensive.

 

i think u can take off the cover just dont take off heat sink as that might void warranty. if you take off cover u can blow air into the heatsink and clean out dust

 

Hi I got my NP9150 last week and just tried out BF3 on it today and I am only getting about 8-10 FPS according to FRAPS. I checked the Nvidia control panel to made sure its running on the GTX675m and I set the Clevo control panel to high performance. Any one know why? My temps were not over 50C and GPU-Z show that it was running on the GTX675. Currently runing windows 8 with the drivers given from the sager website. Thanks in advance
