Graphics Issue. Big showstopper.

[snacker]

I recently bought a new laptop. These are the pecs:

 

Asus N53SN-S1208V

Display: 15.6" FHD. Use a secondary Liyama display

CPU Intel COre I7-2630QM

Storage: 750GB 7200 RPM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M, 2 GB

Memory: 8GB

OS: 64bit windows 7 Home Premium

 

I reinstalled the DCS A10 this morning, which means I downloaded the latest patch 1.1.1.0 and to my horror, the sim runs like a slideshow on high settings. Not even the maximum.

Also, half of the plane goes semitransparent when I zoom a little in.

To top it up, takes a long time to start.

 

What's wrong? It is a showtopper for me. I can't fly under those conditions and I wonder what is wrong . Is it my card? Is it the software? What is it?

 

I'll upload some pics later.

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 550M

And what did you expect from this??? Man, GT550M is at best only "lower-middle" class in mobile-GPU. When we take 3dmark06/Vantage score into account, it is about as "powerfull" as desktop low-end GF240GT. Absolutelly unsuitable for mobile gaming...

:cry: damn. I thought that was a good card.

What can I do , what card can you recommend that doesn't cost a kidney?

For gaming-notebook (if there is something like that at all) GTX570/560M or HD6950/6970M is imho reasonable choice. Nothing less makes sense, especially if you want to play graphics-intensive games.

 

You have to realize mobile-gpu is not the same as equally numbered desktop-gpu. For example GTX560 (desktop) is ~two times more powerful than GTX560M (notebook). Or in other words, from performance point of view GTS450 (desktop) is as fast as GTX560M (notebook)...

I think Rhinox is right. However, people have had FPS issues since patch 1.1.1.0. If I understand right, OP hasn't run e.g. v1.1.0.9 but installed the latest 1.1.1.0 right away?

 

Maybe you should test with v1.1.0.9, as a reference. If it's still jerky, it definitely is your GPU.
