G53sx average fps with game settings

[jjp7181]

i was wondering if people could post their average fps with the game settings used for any games you guys play i think i may be getting lower than average fps but have no way of testing this problem other than getting a data pool of fellow G53sx owners

some games I own are Saints Row the 3rd, metro 2033, gta 4, witcher 2, and deus ex human revolution

im actually not looking for this info because i want to play optimal settings im looking for this because i think there may be something wrong with either my Vcard or cpu but i just want to make sure before i go through the whole warranty process

the reason for me thinking that there might be something wrong is that i just noticed i have a color banding problem (white color at this moment is only one i see is affected). this made me want to check out videos of people posting their playthroughs of games on the same sytem i own. what i found is that they seem to be playing at least 10fps more than me. here is one of the videos im using as a benchmark:

he is using fraps in it btw and yet is not lagging as bad as i did without fraps with the exact same settings shown

im getting 26 avg fps 20 fps min 33 fps max

at night time i get the most fps which are 36 fps avg 22 min 40 max

but during morning and evening times in game when sun is orange (or mixing different shades of whites together) it lags horribly with 24 fps avg 19 min 28 max

Unfortunately i dont play SR but every game can be tweaked to run faster (tweaking of game .ini file and/or tweaking of game settings and adapter settings). Your laptopp is also affected by CPU throttling. Did you try ThrottleStop. I buy mine G74SX few months ago and found out this issue when visit this forum. I noticed strange lags in games and was pissed till i try ThrottleStop few days ago.I also unpark all cores/threads with ParkControll64 (WIN7 issue). Now all my games run fast with no lag. Remember all open world games will lag at certain point so tweaking is essentiall. Did you try benchmarking your system with 3D mark vantage? Did you try reinstall nVidia drivers (clean install with driversweeper)?

i have done throttle fix and clean driver installs. i tried a 3d mark vantage test and got a score of p9186 GPU:7850 CPU:18756 with performance mode, throttlestop on , classic windows theme, and my antivirus off (avast). i didnt find any recent results with latest drivers (310.70 beta ) so i dont really know if i am average or have a bad card but comparing other scores i think i may be good but confirmation of this would be comforting. good thing is that if the card is bad then i can just return it as i still under warranty.

well now i have a diffrent problem. i decided to do a full reset of my OS using the pre-built factory reset tool. something went wrong and now i have a bad install and the factory reset entry at the windows boot manager menu is gone. my score even went down to P9007. hope i didnt really mess up my machine and this can just be fixed with a windows recovery disc.
