I just received my M1730 today. It looks great. But there is an issue occurs and I hope you guys can help me.....
Here is the System configuration:
_ Intel Core 2 Duo T8300(2.4GHz, 800Mhz, 3M L2)
_ 4GB of DDR2
_ 1GB Nvidia Dual GeForce 9800M GT SLI
_ 320 GB 7200rpm Seagate Hard Drive
_ Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit Edition
I tested the laptop with COD Word at Conflict Benchmark and the frame rate was about 12 (maximum) for max setting, 14 (maximum) for medium setting. I can not play the game smoothly and I don't know what the reason is?
I've taken apart from 1730 and made sure there was no dust and its quite clean, its sitting up at the back so air is flowing through under it but when playing games all on low settings (playing demigod)
it still slows down when a lot is happening on screen, and the laptop gets extremely hot - even some parts are too hot to touch.
well a friend of mine cant get 2 games on his lappy so he's giving them to me. The games are GTA IV and Mirror's Edge. I was wondering how my m1530 would put up against these games.im not looking to max them out but what fps would i get if i installed them?
I was wondering if its possible to install games onto my laptops second HDD. Right now, its the D: drive. I tried installing BF2 to this drive but an error said its "unsafe." Is there any way around this? The HDD is a Hitachi HTS723225L9A362 ATA.
I have an HP ENVY TS 17 Notebook with NVIDIA GT 740M and Intel 4600HD Graphics Drivers, and running Windows 7. Whenever I want to change the resolution in games to a lower resolution than the desktop resolution, the game shrinks its view leaving couple of inches black bars on the edges. For example if my desktop resolution is 1920x1080, and I want to run a game in 1600x900, the game doesn't fill the screen, instead, it leaves some amount of blank space on the edges of the screen.
In order to solve this problem, I tried the following steps:First I tried to locate the Display tab in NVIDIA Control panel in order to set scaling/stretching to 'Full Screen', but my version of NVIDIA CP doesn't have the Display Tab (My NVIDIA drivers are the latest version).Then I found out that I should do this from the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. My Intel HD Graphics CP has an option named "Scaling" under Display > Display Settings, and it only shows the option Maintain Display Scaling which is checked by default and doesn't allow changing it. Also, after searching through internet I saw that some people suggested entering the 'Advanced Settings' and trying to make changes there. When I try to enter Advanced Settings under Display, it says "This display does not support any of the advanced settings".
After trying these without success, I tried updating the Intel's driver through their website hoping this can fix the problem. I ran Intel's small application on their website which identifies my chipset and suggests me the latest driver for that chipset. The website told me that the driver that is installed on my computer is 10.18.10.3304, and there is an update for this which is 15.33.18.64.3496 (or 10.18.10.3496). So I downloaded the file, but when I tried running it, it gave me this error message: "The drivre being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer. Setup will now exit." which doesn't make any sense.
i'm really loving the new 13" MBP especially the size and battery life. however, i'm also a pretty hardcore css gamer and the only thing holding me back from buying it is the possibility that it might not work perfectly on the 13". I would also love to save money from purchasing the 15" mbp w/ the dedicated gpu. so any of you out there try counter-strike source on your new 13" mbp at full settings? what's the fps?
Since the last hp update my system doesn't run smoothly. And t!!he hp support assistant is also not working . I tried reinstalling hpsa but it didn't work. Then I tried to factory reset the system and it says "problem occurred while resetting",or something similar to that.it also showed that no changes where !made.
My system is:HP Pavilion n211sx (With windows 8.1 already installed) I wanted to factory reset my laptop...
I have a problem with touchpad, when I slide my finger over it, pointer doesn't move smoothly, it is very laggy. When I connect my mouse, it works fine and smooth. I've tried to find some solutions on here but none of them worked. OS is Windows 8.1.

I noticed that alot more games are available for mac now than there used to be so I was wondering if I play the same game in windows vs OSX will there be a difference?
I mainly install bootcamp and win 7 for games only on my macbook pro but maybe I wont do that this time if the games run just as good in OSX.
I have an Inspiron 7010 which is 2 years old. In control panel devices it tells me to troubleshoot the laptop and cannot rectify problem with Broadcom virtual wireless adaptor. Secondly running the diagnostics say the Read test is not running. These are the only problems but are not affecting the efficiency of the PC. Should I ignore it?
i want to ask is what are the sort of games that the xps 1530 can handle well and are tried and tested and known to work nicely ? Before i start investing money in buying games.
i want to have an idea whether or not they'll look good on it.........................
Thinking about getting the 14z and I know the 9400m isn't the best graphics card, but I noticed the memory is 1000mhz+ on the 14z which leads me to believe the 14z probably can handle games quite well since the 9400 uses that memory.
Can it handle Left 4 Dead or World in Conflict on medium well? Any users with experience or could tell me the frames per second they are getting would be awesome.
I really don't want to move up to the 15inch model and get the ATI 4570 which will suck up battery life and is bulkier.
I am buying a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Intel core 2 P8700 processor rated at 2.53GHZ with 3MB of L2 cache, 4GB DDR2 800MHZ ram, 500GB hard drive rated at 5200RPM, ATI 4330 Radeon HD video card with 256MB of VRAM, and Sound blaster software enabled AUDIO Card.
Also, there are some other stuff like Bluetooth and bluray drive etc etc. It all comes with WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM WITH 64BIT. It has intel GM45 chipset which supports 1066 FSB and it also supports ddr 2 and ddr3....can i upgrade to ddr3 late on since intel states that it supports both? http://www.intel.com/products/notebo...5-overview.htm
Now the question, i m NOT going to play any GAMES on this laptop but i would watch alot of 1080P movies or u could say i would watch bluray movies. Is this laptop going to be sufficient enough to handle all high resolution videos? including YouTube's 1080P videos?....
AGAIN, i m not playing any GAMES on it....should i get this laptop or should i get studio 1558? since i m not playing any games, do u think i m jus gonna waste more money on studio
I have the p9xxx (don't remember exact), 4gb, 256ssd and 256 Quadro card and even playing 1 miniclip game, it lags like NUTS. Also, if I open like 4 or 5 youtube videos in browser tabs, it goes SLOW AS HECK! I have upgraded all drivers and even gotten a driver from NVidia's site. I know this isn't a gaming machine, but come on.
Im looking to get Tomb raider Underworld for my wife to play on our Studio 15. Anyone running that game or know if it will be ok to run reasonable settings?. Its a core2 2.oghz 3gb ram setup.
I've got a quick question about Lord of the Rings Online on the 1645 (46701gb) if anyone else knows much about that. In most games, such as Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age, etc, when I'm playing at 720p,
the game scales up to fill the entire screen, and LOTRO *used* to do that, but it seems like after installing the 10.3 Preview ATI drivers, it refuses to do so anymore, even after uninstalling CCC/The ATI Drivers and reinstalling 10.2 or the latest driver released by Dell.
(Though come to think of it, I never did run Driversweeper..) Has anyone ever ran into these sorts of issues with games on the 1645? Cheers!
Why is it when I play Freedom fighters on my M1710 that it seems to play it at 3x the speed? Its like a video in fast forward. I remember Splinter Cell used to do this on my old 8600, why the hell do games do this and what can I do to fix it?
welcome to the new thread tat deals with the games that can be run on the dell studio 15 with the ati radeon 512 mb video card.. i have tested a few and you people add to this thread...
2.please specify the maximum resolution of the game that can be played.
1. farcry --- can be run on maximum resolution 1920x1080 with maximum settings. 2. need for speed underground 2--- 800x600 resolution with max settings and above resolution makes frame rates go down .....
I'm generally not much of a gamer, but will probably be playing alot of Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 when they come out. Of corse this is asking for speculation but how would the current card in the 1640 handle these games?
I realize that there is going to be a new vid card coming, but my current laptop recently died, and I need to buy a new one pretty soon.
