So my friend got the Lenovo Y510p about a year ago, and had problems with it for a long time. [strike]Finally got it repaired after a long hassle and got it back a week ago. [/strike] My bad, never was repaired, just always had complaints, never contacted support (too lat for that)
He got Battlefield 4, as the specs do say he can run it properly, but it's lagging like crazy apparently. Only way he can play it is by putting the resolution to 1280x720, low graphics on everything, and resolution scale set to 50%, while his Nvidia GeForce Experience tells him he should put up his graphics settings (which just lowered his frame-rates to 4 - 11 fps)
He can't find a good ratio between the resolution scale and resolution settings on low fps. With the current settings he is able to play at 30 fps with some lag, but its really blurry. He's had the newest drivers, now he has the newest beta drivers
Specs:
i7-4700MQ 2.4GHz
Windows 8.1 64bit
8gb 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
1TB 5200RPM HDD
Nvidia GeForce 755M 2gb
BF4 minimum specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, AMD Athlon X2 2.8 GHz or better
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-Bit (with KB971512 System Update)
Video Card: 512 MB AMD Radeon HD 3870 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT or better
Free Disk Space: 30 GB
BF4 Recommended specs:
CPU: AMD Six-core CPU, Intel quad-core CPU or better
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 8 64-Bit
Video Card: 3GB AMD Radeon HD 7870 / NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 or better
Free Disk Space: 30 GB
From the specs above, it looks like he gets pretty close to the recommended specs, so I don't know what the problem is. Any recommendations?
PS: Computer is plugged into the wall, and power mode is set to full performance
Update: Just told me that even War Thunder, which use to work very well, now plays at 10fps
