How to boost fps?

Hello!

I have an Alienware 17 laptop with an Intel 4700MQ processor (4 Cores, 8 Threads, 2.4GHz, 3.4GHz overclocked), 16 Gb DDR3 Ram @1600MHz, Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M w/ 2Gb GDDR5 Ram. Other people around the forums can get 30-40 fps no problem on maps like industrial, east coast, etc with equal or lower specs than my computer. I get about 15-23. (On grid I get 25-35). Can anyone tell me how to increase fps? Preferably without lowering settings.

Thanks!

 

Did you put your computer on powersaver? See my computer has 60 fps on almost every map...

 

you are using mobile parts which do genuinely perform lesser than desktop counterparts (a GTX765M is more comparable to a GTX750, doesnt even compete with a 750Ti, let alone a desktop 760).

Your GPU genuinely wont max the game, you will need to lower some settings (turn all PostFX off for a start, should be able to have pretty much max settings otherwise).

CPU may have a 3.4ghz overclock, however its a laptop, even worse it is an alienware laptop. Gaming laptops are notorious for overheating and kicking into thermal throttling mode (where they underclock themselves to limit heat production). Alienware are known for having particularly poor cooling in gaming models and kicking into thermal throttle more often. Chances are the CPU is not running at 3.4ghz. The GPU's also thermal throttle.

Final one. Make sure the power plan isnt on low power, that again underclocks everything.

 

Yeah, wish I coulda got a better GPU when I bought it. Anyways, ill try turning the PostFX off. About the thermal throttling though, on my particular one, it does not thermal throttle the CPU or GPU according to Intel XTU. And I have it on max performance mode.

Thanks!

 

Every chip since the Pentium III had dynamic frequency scaling, and it is both used to increase the multiplier to boost performance ("turbo") or decrease the multiplier to save power or to save itself from overheating (thermal throttling), if yours didn't it wouldn't turbo because that's a feature of dynamic frequency scaling.

 

Most of that is not true.

1. Mobile Video Card series compare to 2 series lower counterparts for a desktop, i.e. GTX 765M compares to GTX550, e.g. my 880M compares to GTX660 (I'm still sad I didn't wait 3 months to get a 980M for $100 more)
2. It's not a super high-end GTX980, but it definitely would not have 15-20 fps, my old HP laptop on Radeon 6570M had around 25 fps on medium
3. Most gaming laptops have additional cooling compared to regular laptops, I mean, look at these exhausts http://i.imgur.com/Yj0RPUY.jpg With 2 fans and ~4000 RPM max each, It'd have to be 40 degrees celsium indoors for that to use max fan power and still not cool down enough.

What you could try to do in case overheating is not a problem:

1. Change the power plan, what you need to see in your power plan is if there's CPU power limitation (max should be at 100%)
2. What probably is the problem: Low-FPS-Asus-ROG-GL551 you are probably running it on integrated video card, a lot of people with gaming laptops and nvidia video cards are met with this frustrating 'problem'. Even more BeamNG as it defaults to integrated even when ran through Steam.

 

i do know that on alienware laptops you can cut the #18 gpc1 connector on the laptop ram off and that can sort of induce a form of overclocking and help boost not only ram performance, but cpu performance. cpu multiplexing on threads can increase massively.
