Hello all
I recently bought an ASI IQ17 D2 with a T9300 processor,Mobility HD 3870 in crossfirez, 4 gb 1066 mhz ram. I am getting reallyly bad performance (<25 FPS) on most of the games (Fallout 3, Risen, Dirt 2, Borderlands) i play even on medium to low settings and low resolutions (1280 X 1024, 1400 X 1050) with AA turned off. I ran 3dmark06 and 3dmark vantage to check the scores my build is getting and even they are very low (4033 and 1375 respectively). The crossfire setup seems to be working as the crossfire icon is displaying for the games i am playing and i am getting a windows experience index gaming score of 7.0 (decent?). As i know very little about graphics cards and gaming performance in general, I would like to ask the people here if the performance is normal for a laptop with my specs or if I am not getting the performance i should be due to some sort of error. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you
