Don't tell me that I should stick to V197.16 all the time by sacrificing performance for stability~  thats why i just stick to my old, sweet GPU driver as i found out that its the most stable. i know newer will boost the performance, but too lazy and too busy to spend my time tweaking it  |

Just asking here guys, but have any of you started having trouble with crysis 2?
I have encountered massive stuttering while playing, and thats after I played it for a few levels and turned off the pc.
The temp that I got from the CPU is ok but i think the monitoring for the GPU is 'broken' as the temp never really rises above 43 degrees Celcius.
Any help is appreciated.

Any help is appreciated. 43 celcius is totaly no problem wat, even my GTX260M runs on 83'c still no problem. GPU can stand up to 150;c, dont worry for the heat. G51VX-A1 100'c still running well now since 2009 |

kira-kun Your video card in M17x-R3 is 2GB GDDR5 Radeon 6970. Wow, that is great. It should be more powerful than AMD HD 5850, HD 5870 and NVIDIA GTX 460M found in any M15x. I am so envy of you.  This post has been edited by alvinkhorfire: Mar 28 2011, 12:08 PM |

G51VX-A1 100'c still running well now since 2009 That's odd. So far the only time I have seen a GPU run that cool on a full load was a liquid cooled one.  Have you tried using other apps to check the GPU temp? @putochip123: I think syafri88 is puzzled on why is his GPU temp is too low, not the other way around...

I monitor the temp using GPU-Z and also Openhardwaremonitor( i think this is the app name, at work right now.) My problem right now is i am having trouble playing crysis 2. I already played a few levels already but right now, the whole game just stutters lile crazy. Anyone encounter this problem? |
