GPU is underperforming

Collon704 · Mar 26, 2014

Hi there! Just have an issue that bothers me almost everyday. So, I own an Nvidia GeForce 630m 2gb with 13 gb ram and an intel i7. My laptop is an HP pavilion Dv6 and I can give more specs info soon once my laptop is with me which is conveniently tomorrow. I have seen people with this card play Battlefield 3 on high with 60 fps while I'm on low with roughly 20 fps. I am absolutely not in a condition to purchase a new PC so I am burdened with this problem for a (long) while. I read that this could be a low power consumption problem and also could be other causes. I just really need advice and a solution please! Thank you deeply for your time.

Sorry to break it to you, but your graphics card just is that bad: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-630M.63761.0.html

Where exactly have you seen people play on high with 60fps?

60 fps on high? Never! 60 fps on low would be a stretch.

I actually just looked this problem up and someone just pointed out the 60 fps thing.

Well that certain someone was either lying or had no idea what they we're talking about.

Well.. you need a desktop high-end graphics card to get 60+ fps on high settings.
My friend got a Lenovo laptop with the same graphics card.. He was able to play Battlefield 4 on low settings and 1360x768.. I'm not sure about the FPS but it was fairly playable.

As Khaleal said, you'd need a pretty good GPU for high settings and 60+ fps. For mobile GPUs, at least a 780m would be recommended.

Welp, I was actually slightly impressed when I saw the average fps in games. But as a gamer like myself, it just isn't good enough. What do you guys think of the new Razer blade?

http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade/ This thing? It's about as good as laptops get, although it "only" has the GTX 870M, not the 880M.

Do you recommend it to a person who wants to play games such as dayz or battlefield 4? Or do you have a top-notch PC (non-laptop) to recommend instead?

Collon704 :

Well if we're talking about desktops here, I suggest you build your own. Are you prepared to do it yourself and save money or do you want to buy a prebuilt one?

Collon704 · Mar 26, 2014

I've pulled up one of my PC gamer magazines just to make myself feel bad. Bit in fact, I made myself feel way better. I saw an ad from www.digitalstormonline.com and I noticed the "Vanquish" and I just couldn't hold myself from laughing with happiness. A low price tag of 699 and plays bf4 with 80 fps on high. Hell yeah!

Well I have a GTX 760 and just so happens to run BF4 on high with 80fps... So you'd need to buy the level 3 version which costs 939$ on sale. Unless you are prepared to build you own of course.

Collon704 · Mar 26, 2014

The thing is, I want to find a nice cheap reliable PC that can just give me a clean and fresh experience. I have millions of combinations to make if I build my own. Revolving from GPU to CPU. I just want a system that ensures that it is awesome.

Eduello · Mar 26, 2014

Well if that's the case, go for it since it doesn't seem to be very overpriced.
