Looks to me you are right on with what it should be not knowing guessing your resolution http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html your card is #133 on the list.

well looking at the link it says on normal i should get 45FPS on low 60-70 but even on low i still had 15 fps actually it didn't matter what settings i used FPS allways stayed the same and my resolution is 1920X1080(native)

TR Ultra at 1080P 9.9FPS
AC BF Ultra at 1080P 9.5FPS
Unfortunately this the only similar comparison so try to duplicate their setting like try lowering your resolution as well as detail and compare the number at 1366x768 on normal setting.

lol men ty so much lowering the resolution from 1920X1080 to just 1600X900 gave me 10-12 extra fps without loosing anything ty so much if you have any more solutions for me share them

rolli59 · Mar 27, 2014

You are welcome but really reducing the resolution does more than in game settings since it means fewer pixels to process.

Your GPU is the bottleneck. The FPS you're getting are normal for your setup. Sorry.

OC your GPU in a laptop is not recommended and the results would not be a game changer either.

Ballien · Apr 1, 2014

rly ?? why is that

rolli59 · Apr 1, 2014

Mostly because of cooling design that usually is on the limit for laptops GPU's.

Ballien · Apr 1, 2014

but what about gaming performance ??

rolli59 · Apr 1, 2014

It will boost by a few percent but if you are getting 20fps 10% GPU OC will give you less than 2 FPS increase.

Is ur PC using the Integrated HD 4000 or the GTX 640?

I think that may be the culprit.

Ballien · Apr 1, 2014

uses usually the intel but it starts using the nvidia when in-game
