My Specs:
MSI GT60 Laptop
GPU: Geforce GTX 670M
CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM @2.3ghz
12GB of RAM
In every game I've played, I get lower fps than I should. For example, in battlefield 3, I get 30-35fps playing on high, when I should (or at least I think I should) be getting 45-50. If I play on low, it periodically switches between 30-35fps and 50-60fps.
Additionally, whenever anything heavy happens in game (ie a lot of explosions, suppression, etc) my fps drops down to the 20s, sometimes down below 10.
During my normal 30-35fps on high, GPU usage is at like 98%, and CPU usage is well below 100%. During the fps drops down to 20s and below, GPU usage drops to 60-70% and CPU usage goes about to 100%. This leads me to believe my CPU is bottlenecking randomly, but I thought my CPU was good enough to handle battlefield.
These issues occur both in multiplayer and campaign.
I don't think overheating is an issue because I use a cooling pad and GPU temps never go above high 70s, and I have the latest CPU and GPU drivers and have tried using older drivers, so I don't think drivers are the issue either.
I recently factory reset my comp as well, in case I had accidentally changed some setting, or there was a virus my antivirus wasn't picking up, but I still have the problem.
One other thing I noticed was that Geforce experience recommends low settings for battlefield, even though my setup should be able to handle higher. Does geforce experience optimize based only on your setup, or does it actually run tests on your own computer?
Hopefully someone has a solution?
