Thornox the new drivers worked wonders
I got i7-2720m and 3gb GT555M i was thinking of connecting it to my Samsumg Led 22" will it give decent fps to play BF3 ??

Well connect your m14x and Samsung LED 22'' and let us know..... duhhhh

origin is having a sale on battlefield 3 and I was wondering how my system would run battlefield 3 with an i5? max settings possible? thanks in advance

[mittens14x]

max settings not possible. perhaps medium-high settings will give you a decent fps of 30s-40s

I try to play Battlefield 3, in Ultra, High And Medium Settings but always the fps stay in 7 ~ 10.

My Config is:

M14x:
i7-2670(2,2GHz)
4gb 1600
3gb gt555m

just bought bf3 and and started up the campaign. i put the settings on low and play at 1366 x 768 resolution which i found to be the smoothest settings i can play. even on 1400 x 900 it seems fine but im not getting enough frames that I would like it to be at.

what are some settings that i should set my graphics to to optimize my frame rate according to my system?

I just got the same computer, and I called tech support due to crashing and freezing while playing games.

He told me that when you have the computer on battery power it uses an integrated card that can't handle that kind of performance ... so you get slowness, freezing and crashing.

If you plug it in, then it uses the 555 card with 3gb of ram.

So I plugged it in, and it seems to be working a lot better.

hope this helps.

When i Play Bf3, without charger plug in, my temp stay in 75 ~ 80, and when i plug in the charger my temp goes to 85 ~ 80

turbo boost off.

that is normally?
