Also, I too just tried Skyrim on my rig....holy cow, what a crapfest. When I read the minimum requirements for the game, I thought this laptop would be able to handle it on the lowest of settings at the very least. NO!

It's like watching a train wreck. It can't even run it on the lowest of the low. I'm very underwhelmed because I've been watching people play Dead Rising 2, among other games, on high settings and great framerate on Youtube with an i3 and 5650, and it completely puts my computer's performance to shame.

Dude, Skyrim runs like garbage on my HP Envy 14 as well. I accepted it at first but when I saw videos of inferior hardware running it just fine (at least playable) I began to wonder if I was doing something wrong. Have you been able to fix this?

I've been playing Skyrim on high with no issues. 11.10 installed over HP drivers. I accidentally did a regular install when trying to update to 11.10 and had issues. Had to reinstall HP drivers then install over to correct. Otherwise I just cleared my vents of dust and have had no problems other that the not HP-Envy specific map crashing every now and then which is widely reported.

[MagusDraco]

are you on a gen 1 or gen 2 envy 14?

'cause I honestly thing skyrim is kinda cpu bound more than gpu bound and a sandy bridge cpu may help

I updated to 11.11 and have noticed BF3 tends to crash and freeze during gameplay. It was stable in 11.10 v3. Anyone else experiencing this?

[rmartinezdl]

I cant run BF3 dunno why D:

Ironman what are the differences between your drivers and the official optional download from AMD site? I've seen a size difference, the name. I there something else modded besides the install on switchable graphics capability that your drivers haves.?

[MagusDraco]

well. they have the drivers in them, generally.


these are direct links from AMD's website that you have to download the catalyst downloader to normally get to.

that downloader will notice your computer is a switchable graphics one with an intel gpu and say "no, you can't have drivers" and not download anything for you.

the file that you see that's similar in size to the ones on here is everything else in the package (so everything but the drivers)

[rmartinezdl]

Ok so no modded drivers etc? Im getting the stock drivers just without the switchable graphics restriction right? THANKS! That was all my concern getting like modded drivers and stuff

[rmartinezdl]

HEEELP OMG IM THE UNLUCKIEST GUY EVER! Now I did what iron man told me a few weeks ago about

Restart in safe mode
Uninstall ati and intel hd from device manager
restart
uninstall ALL AMD software via de express uninstaller
restart
install stock drivers
restart
install latest driver

now i did this
but when installen the AMD DISPLAY DRIVER with the install manager, the screen goes 800x600 (as usual when you are updating your drivers) but then it nevers goes back, instead the computer restarts!! it happens with all the drivers i tried 11.10 even the preview drivers for 11.10 HEEEEEEEEELP!
