qwerty1239 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi, I have recently bought the Dell XPS 17 with the 555m graphics card, a huge upgrade from my last PC. The video rating on FM12 is only 3 and a half stars, despite it cruising through the recommended specs and being able to run BF3 on high settings. When I have the graphics on high it is not a smooth experience and on medium it's fine but the graphics are not as good. Any idea why it is like this on a laptop that should be able to run it with its eyes closed? Before anyone says, I have the latest drivers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomit Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Your laptop running Optimus? It could be that it really is the processor's onboard graphics chip running FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 tbh I'm surprised of you can run BF3 on high settings for any sort of prolonged time period, maybe some of the advanced settings have scaled back to allow for smoother running. As for FM, have you tried disabling some of the background images, weather effects (imo they don't add much to the experience) or depth of field?

thomit Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 High settings but low resolution, perhaps. GT 555M won't run BF3 on high settings and 1920x1080 resolution without severe stuttering. It will barely run it adequately on medium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
