I bought an Alienware M17xR3 laptop a year ago,
2720qm 2.2ghz (3.3 turbo)
8gb ddr3/5? ram
1.5gb Gtx 460m ddr3/5?
used to run everything great, 60+ fps in most games easily,
rift was 40fps on ultra, dippe to 20-30 in high pop/raid areas
had to reformat, reinstalled all drivers, bios etc from dell site
now getting poor performance
lucky to get 30fps in any game, 10 fps in rift, on low custom settings, low population area, no spell or view distance for where i was,
cutomized nvidia setting to ensure max performance, use of nvidia card etc..
followed all steps provided by alienware, they are at a loss, and have currently been waiting over a week to hear back from the tech support they pushed me through to. did a full cleaning inside the laptop, double checked all settings to ensure max performance etc..
not sure why it wont go any higher, even diablo 3 im lucky to get 18fps, or 5fps in multiplayer past act 1
wow used to run 80fps on ultra, now im lucky to get 30fps on low settings
set cpu priority to high, tried setting games to dx9/dx11, no overheating issues, properly switched to nvidia card when gaming etc etc..
realy at a loss, cant seem to find anything to help me out
I can post an updated Dxdiag when i get home, for some reason the first one I grabbed while running a game wasn't listing the nvidia card, even though it said it was being used
