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)

hi adil. can you teach me how to set the setting. when I am running the GTA V , I cant even run/ aim properly as it is too lag for me. I don't know what is the best setting for me (I set it at normal setting when I 1st run the game)

any advice would be appreciate

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.

Thanks.
But,normally i will plug in the ac, so for using with ac use balance better?
I just scary, later play game the process speed still lock at medium.

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.

i will screen shot and show it tonight.

basically I run the game twice to test it out
1st time: without doing the nvdia performance optimizing, run the game without alter any setting, and I end up super lag + shuttering lag.

2nd time: I did tweak the battery power setting to high performance, and then I also did nvdia performance optimizing -> result is still the same. too lag that I can barely and aim at the hostage... grrr!
whats wrong with me.

*I m using gtx 960

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

do I need to turn off "vsync" ? I google around and some ppl said its becoz of that causing the lag and shuttering lag. but thanks anyway. I will test it another around after work today.

and oh yes, my graphic card driver is up-to-date. (special thanks to adil, prince-j and his crew, they help me to install all the necessary drivers) THUMB UP!

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.

ok good suggestion! I will go back to try it out

z5 970m reporting in haha
just received my lappy today !

summoning arvinaaaa to add the name

may i know what program is the best to check my graphic card and processor temperature?

I also wonder, kinda fun to track it.
