Hello everyone, I have got a really annoying problem with my laptop , and since the manufacturer is making me go around in circles just to get tech support , I thought i'd give this a shot ...
I've got a Dell xps m1730 laptop here , specs : duocore 2.5 , 4 gig, 300gig hdd, 9800M GTX x2 SLI
It performs fine just doing normal tasks , ( programming , every day stuff ) so there is no problem there.
The problem starts when i go into games, but here aswell it is not just poor performance.
The performance problems start when there is a lot of movement on the screen.
for example, i just noticed this a lottt with street fighter 4. On levels when there arent little background people cheering, my performance is perfect, i can run it fully at max, and my super and ultra combos ( which are extremely flashy, and the most graphically demanding part of the game ) come out at max fps. However, when there are a lot of people in the background, my performance drops to a measily 20fps. This never used to happen, until I started getting hardware problems with my laptop.
The motherboard has been changed already, didnt change anything.
The graphics cards have been changed, didnt change anything.
The only thing that hasnt been changed actually are my harddrives and RAM memory , so I'm wondering, could it be that ? Is there any way of me testing it ? Or is there a different problem ? If anyone could help me, that would be great cause ive been having these problems for months, and dell isnt helping at all. They just keep pointing me towards the next person I have to call, who then says they want to replace my motherboard again !
Thanks in advance ..
