No Stuttering when playing. But got stuttering when use fraps for recording. You will not have stuttering if you use Nvidia Shadowplay for recording.

Will be uploading video soon.

It will be more easier if you upload them as individual files, so we choose the driver that we want. Since the file size is huge so can't make it download 3.25gb at once.

GTA V Working fine for me in medium high settings on Z5 GTX860M version. Im getting 30 to 40 fps in game. So which means of course GTX960M will be able to play GTA V in high/ultra settings.

I updated my hard disk driver when encountered similar problem with my External hard disk. I have encounter similar scenarios like told by most of the users, I have listed them here:-

1st issue : One of my right port not detecting my 3.0 usb hard diak but working fine with my 2.0 usb pendrive. Which concludes that it may have not enough power on that particular port. Fixed it by shut down for few minutes + unplugged electric.

2nd issue: My external hard disk 3.0 usb stopped working, external hdd works on 2.0 usb only but not turning to 3.0 usb <-- (checked using LED indicator on HDD and file transfer speed.). Tried restarting couple of times and tried updating windows but problem not solved. At last solved by re installing updated HDD driver that comes with it. Then works fine as before.

Usually it will be fixed on restart. If no then I would suggest you to update your USB drivers to the latest one and try and try changing to different usb cables. I think the usb port not have enough power to transfer data or maybe other probs.


Or maybe (just a second thought, no heart fillings)
-> maybe your MicroUSB port on samsung s3 has oxidation issue which will cause your mobile with the problems.

if you found that your s3 have that oxidation problem on MicroUSB port then check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmpmH4NyG-4

All the best

You need to unplug your z5 after fully charge for about the battery percentage reduce to 98 or 99 and then plug back to power then you will the message plugged, not charging. If its starts to continue charge after awhile then you need to restart your z5 and then try the same method. Most of the time when I power my Z5 I will connect it to power before turning windows on, so automatically it will show plugged but not charging.

Usually if your battery is more than 90-95% then when plugging power cable by default it will show the "not charging" message which means its not using or charging your battery power but using the power directly from the plugged in cable. If your battery has lower than 90% of battery then it will starts to charge until it become full (100%). So once it reach 95% and more, you can unplug the cable and wait for a while till your battery indicator shows you the estimation remaining hours of your laptop battery power and now you have to plugged it back. Now by default it will not charge.

Change it to never sleep under plugged in

Playing GTA V on gtx860m getting 75-85 °C temp without using turbo fan mode. But its fine no problem so far.

If thats the case and then I will try to make a video on how to do like that tutorial today.

Finally u did it.

There are two options one is Balanced and another one is Power Saver and another one is High Performance

Power Saver usually you use it when you r using battering only and not plugged in and this setting will reduce processor’s clock speed and display brightness with the intention of increasing battery life

Balanced option is where the system will set the clock speed based on requirement by the required running application, so it will set up the clock speed according to required applications only. (I will suggest this so it is balance between high and low).

High Performance is where the settings will set to full clock speed (maximum) based on the required running programs and this setting will use full power, if you use this when not plugged in, then your battery will be empty very fast.



**What is Clock Speed? -> The CPU requires a fixed number of clock ticks (or clock cycles) to execute each instruction. The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second. Clock speeds are expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz ((GHz)

Try to do the setting using the nvidia Experience so it will optimize your gta v with the recommended setting. As for me right now im playing it in medium high settings. Do you mind to send pic of your settings so i can guide the settings to change.

Balanced is just enough so it can set the clockspeed if and only if needed. Since you r playing games then balanced is enough, playing games in balanced mode will not affect anything. In balance mode you should not have to worry but you should worry if you r using power saving mode.

Try update your Nvidia driver and see whether that maybe causes it or no. But its should be ok to play in balanced mode.

Hey I found your problem. The reason for the problem that you not able to play the gta v game is because you are playing that game on your Intel HD Graphics. Do remember that your z5 has 2 graphic card which means it uses the the nvidia optimus technology to find out to use which graphics card needed to use for which program. By default Z5 will be using Intel HD graphics for all normal uses this implemented to reduce the usage of cpu which will not reduce battery while using it, if the program or a particular app required and needed a high graphics then it will use Nvidia gtx 960m... graphics card. If your GTA V is not detected as a game by your system or nvidia (usually this happens with some pirated games), then the system by default will execute that program under Intel HD graphics, this means that you are not using nvidia gtx 860 to run the game. Thats is why you are not able to play that game smoothly.

The fix is whenever you want to play Steps : right click on the game icon and select switch graphic card... and select gtx graphics manually. So the program will be executing under your gtx graphics.

This is my assumption, this could be the problem.

Happy Gaming.

Send your GTA V settings screenshot

What was the problem?

Exactly as I suspected

So did you set the gtx960 as default for GTA V.

Happy Gaming

no u dont have 8gb ssd in your seagate hybrid drive but it is just 8gb cache ssd memory and you not able to see that as a separate drive for storing permanent data.

Hybrid Drive is SSHD which means (Solid State Hybrid Drive) and it is the combination of SSD + HDD. The hybrid drive caches frequently used data on its own little internal "SSD". When you're accessing that data, performance will be virtually identical to an SSD. When you're accessing data that is only rarely used, performance will not be as good. Once the cache disk is full, then it will starts deleting and replacing the old with new accessed data. The internal SSD is in a small amount of volume and not enough to contain more data in it and it is not like the real ssd and hybrid drive ssd is little slower. These SSHD Hybrid Drive has 1* TB of mechanical space and only 8 GB of solid-state cache memory.

So theoretically Operating System (OS) is one of the frequently used data, so that should run pretty much as on an SSD memory, since it is used frequently and will be stored in the cache, For example the Boot Time fast and some other things ...
