Hi Guys,
recently this summer, I purchased a custom laptop from CyberPowerPC.com (the X64-7000 model, located here.)
I've upped some of the system specs, which you can view through looking at my own system specs (4gb RAM instead of 2, 2.2 ghz AMD Turion x64 processor, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit) etc.
Anyway, down to the problem I'm having - I'm only pumping out an average of ~25 FPS in World of Warcraft!!! A game I consider to be relatively low end on the graphics requirement deparment.
I've tried many things in an attempt to fix this, such as turning Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic filtering from "use application setting" to the lowest setting available, and back to the "use application setting". I've also done this for Anisotropic filtering. I've also attempted to mess with the Standard Settings by moving them all the way to the left and setting it to "Optimal Performance" with both the "Use custom settings" box checked, and unchecked.
I've also used mobility modder on the latest PC version of the Radeon HD 2600, and made the same sort of tweaks in an attempt to boost performance. I saw a minimal difference at best when I did this, and none of the overclocking tools I've attempted to use seem to even load. I get an error that is usually similar to "Failed to init the lower level driver".
Any help / thoughts / suggestions? I'm going to be calling CyberPowerPC tech support later to help me solve this issue if I don't see anything posted here that I can try first. When I initially bought the PC the gaming performance was phenomenal, and I saw an average of ~45 FPS in World of Warcraft. I'm not exactly sure what I did over the past week or so, but I think I may have tweaked something improperly and effected my FPS as a result.
Note: I've also tried uninstalling the video card, and reinstalling it with the driver CD that came with the laptop. Below is the catalyst version & driver installed by the driver CD provided by CyberPowerPC:
Driver Packaging Version: 8.391.2.1-070721a-051380C-MSI
Provider: ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version: 7.01.01.658
