ASUS N53JN Thread

[b.tuned]

Hi b.tuned,

Another thing you could try before install other Nvidia version driver
is to use restore point to restore to your original
Nvidia GPU driver version (the one that came originally).

Once restored, then use my approach as I've listed in the thread "A42JV with GT335M problem"

the problem with using the whql drivers that u mentioned is that i ultimately loose optimus by using those drivers. The battery life of the n53jn is bearable right now. Losing optimus would mean too much power usage for the laptop.

SC2 is very funny though. it just refuses to use the nvidia gpu even if i specifically tell it to. my fps rates are around 10-15 at best. veryyyy strange.

ok good news i got my drivers to install properly and now this machine is really beasting it. if only the battery life was slightly higher in the 4 hours range...it would be PERFECT. I will definately try and do some benchmarks once i get to shanghai in 2 days. Will keep everyone posted!

yeah i really like this line of notebooks in addition to the u33's but the battery life is a deal breaker for me...why asus...whyyyyyyy

I'm living at Sweden. FHD versions are available in Scandinavia overall. How did you manage to make SC2 work with gt335m b.tuned?

i downloaded and installed the latest whql verde drivers. Its the 258.96, i thought that they didnt work originally but that was because i downloded the english edition rather than the international version. once i used international everything fell into place

Good to hear that you finally solved the Optimus problem.
I don't know either there is international version of whql and I notice the file size is much smaller than the one I downloaded in Nvidia download page.

Now that your Optimus is working, you shall appreciate the NVidia GT335M graphic card. I'm tuning my SC2 now and can play with High Settings.

Yet to try on Ultra Settings.
