you mean you get that "cant find the suitable hardware" message when you're installing the driver?


can print screen and post it here? so that some of us can help maybe

Use Fraps

latest version 1.07? I think you have to download that from steam..

270.61WHQL....thats my nvidia driver

Maybe you should reinstall your 270.61 driver. Or redownload HoN. Cause HoN has a lot of new patches

I don't think Intel HD can support HoN...it shows HoN icon in my Nvidia GPU activity


Intel HD maybe can support up to 800x600?

hmm, maybe i shud try and see how good is the Intel HD in running games...

depends, if u have nvidia in ur Asus, then probably it supports optimus..

LOL. I tried it. I run it on 1366x768. Still smooth without lag. I'm using the Intel HD. If i enable shadows, lags a lot.

Hmmm...just wanna ask something,


how big is the difference between GT520M, GT540M and GT555M


lets use Call of Duty Black Ops for benchmark


GT520M = Runs at 40FPS

GT540M = Runs at 45FPS

GT555M = Runs at 70FPS


is it? just wanna check out the Nvidia G series cards. Thanks for any reply on this.

Alright, thanks for this. But actually, Black Ops can run smooth if we disable some of the graphic settings like shadows

Thanks..so basically

GT 520M = 100%
GT 525M = 120%
GT 540M = 140%
GT 550M = 160%
GT 555M = 180%

No wonder my friend who owns an Acer Aspire 4750G with core i5 and GT520M has hard time playing new games like Hot Pursuit and Assassin's Creed

on the other hand, my other friend has a Dell XPS15 with core i7 and GT435M, he can run games better than acer 4750G


so.......GT435M > GT520M


or do the Intel processors help in running games also?

Actually, there's a big difference between Steam games and downloaded games. Steam games are Original games which you have to buy from the website, the games no need to have cracks and you can play multiplayer on it. Downloaded games from pirated websites need cracks and cannot play multiplayer...

Like me, I bought the Call of Duty Black Ops for RM160 from Steam. I can play multiplayer. And Steam automatically helps to update my game, so that all the lag issues can be solved.

Before this, I tried the pirated version of Black Ops on my laptop, it runs quite laggy. I bought the original, now it is really smooth...

so, buy original if you have the money...

Its hard to check the version of a game. It depends on the last update that you installed on the game...

so, GT435M is on par with GT520M or is GT435M better than GT520M?


Kinda confused with the way Nvidia names its graphic cards..

so, the naming of Nvidia card is like ATi where we look at the second number?

example, HD 5850M is better than HD 6770M

but 5850 is used in alienware m15x...and 6770 in DV6


5850 shud be better eh..

no wonder GT555M is used in gaming laptops like alienware m14x..

i bought the Black Ops retail box LOL

i didnt know steam has sale for it

Thanks to @skycrawler. Got new Nvidia driver, namely, Verde 275.27 Driver. Its still under Beta. Supports GeForce 8M, 9M, 100M, 200M, 300M, 400M, and 500M-series notebook GPUs.


do u think can improve games' performance? i wanna download it and try tomorrow...see if can improve my bulletstorm performance..kinda laggy


and yeah, what's the diff between 128 bit and 192bit? like what @thiefloard asked...hehe

Your friend's Acer Aspire 5750G is what colour? Blue or Black? First batch or second batch?

First batch is black in colour. It has a lot of problems, faulty laptops. With GT540M 1GB, no bluetooth, EOL-ed. (can change motherboard, full refund, change to second batch....by middle of April)

Second batch is blue in colour. No problem so far. Except just now, when I was replying to this post, my laptop got freezed and I had to press the start up button to restart....so fcking dangerous! Just found out that the Adobe reader updates are making the freeze, disabled it!


so, back to topic. If your friend's laptop is blue in colour, second batch....then try these methods. I played Modern Warfare 2 with my laptop at maximum settings with 60FPS. No freeze or lags at all.


Fix that might help to solve your friend's problem:

1. Update your Intel HD graphics http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/

2. Download latest driver for Nvidia GT540M http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win7...hql-driver.html

3. Update your DirectX9 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/deta...6a-9b6652cd92a3

4. If nothing of this work then rightclick on desktop and then go Nvidia control panel then Manage 3d settings then Program settings then click Add and find the Exe u run a game on, for an example GTA4.exe and go on preferred graphic processor and then click high performance Nvidia processor and Apply.


Got this solutions from youtube.

So, your friend changed the motherboard? If the solutions cannot work, better send it back to the shop and ask them to fix it, since it is still under warranty.

Your friend should have gotten a full refund or change to the new 5750G blue colour

but i'd like to know if my suggestions on the fix can help ur friend...

Hmm, very hard question there. I think we all can only play Battlefield 3 at 1024x768 resolution with the GT540M card.

Cause I have hard time playing Battlefield Bad Company 2.

I'm gonna build a gaming desktop by the end of this year just for playing Battlefield 3.

I never play any games on battery...i always plug into the charger..and Dota wont lag, even the Intel HD can run it


There is no difference between 1GB and 2GB graphics card. The Nvidia GT540M is a mid-range graphic card and it won't utilize the 2GB memory fully. It is just a "trick" made by company to scam you all.

Performance of GT540M on StarCraft 2:

Ultra = 30FPS
Medium = 60FPS
Lowest = 100FPS


smooth is 60 fps..

can tell me whats your budget?

I can recommend you the best laptop for ur budget. Maybe not me, but others will help.

if add in rm300, can get asus with core i7..

Core i7 is just to help you prepare for future games, and it is more powerful thats it.

why play starcraft 2? Killzone 3 is a lot better!

If you prefer Asus brand laptops, you can either choose between:

N53Sv, i5-2410M + Nvidia GT540M(1GB)@RM2599

N53Sv, i7-2630QM + Nvidia GT540M(2GB) @RM3299

But it seems like the core i7 Asus is out of your budget. The core i5 would be the best choice for you.




btw, ur ps3 got how many games? im thinking about buying a ps3 also but im scared the games are too expensive...

LOL! 50 Games! so rich! That can cost more than rm5000 oredi.

Anyway, you can always check out the performance of GT540M in youtube.
