Hello good people! So I have been of the gaming radar for about 3y now,though still have my beloved gaming rig,which I have to get rid of at some point though,you know busy life and stuff..decided to sell my aging laptop and the mentioned gaming rig and buy a beast of a gaming laptop,in order to save room and get back to some gaming here and there...You dont want to know how long I was thinking choosing,researching and even though I did have the funds didnt fancy pay all of the £1200 at once,so I opted for the best possible option: buy it on finance(zero interest and only company I could find to offer brilliant option of freely pay in bits anytime and any amount,as long you pay back within a year!.Now,for those living in the UK,the company Novatech may be well know...sorry for the long introduction
Soo the facts: finally decided for this baby,custom built on Clevo P17SA1 chasis,17" full HD laptop,with 4th generation Core i7 4710MQ @ standard 2.5GHz,Intel HD 4600 integrated graphic,16GB Crucial Memory @ 1600MHz,128GB SSD Sandisk X110,750GB WD Caviar Black 7200rpm,and finally the reason of my whole thread - GTX 870M with 6GB memory...
The issue is the following: It just happen to not to run any heavy 3D apps,in our case games of course ,at all...any 3D Heavy game I try to run,simply wont start and the screen hangs at very dark grey,almost black screen,while hdd noticeably running,and the system perfectly freeze free...I have tried just about anything,obviously new to older drivers,back and fort..First I though they somehow connecting something wrong way...the graphic card seems healthy,with standard temps,I just run a stress bench and it indeed undergoes the full load stress,no freezing..tried mess around with the nvidia,load custom settings for each game (So far tried Bad Company 2,BF3 and Unigine Heaven benchmark,all fail to run everytime....here comes the interesting fact #1 - can run Diablo 3 maxed out to the roof and boy,does it look sweet,hehe...and I also managed to run with no problem Counter Strike:Source,purely for the testing purpose.....both tested with nvidia inspector and showing propper load signs on the nvidia chip,which means it runs the game.Initially though they run cos the Intel HD 4600 is handling them...interesting facts #2 - when I disable the GTX870M under device manager,the games will run,at very bad performance though..(EDIT here: meant the games that did not run previously..)I think this is the most important observation,as I think this will rule out the faulty chip option,since Diablo 3 runs so beatifully......Soo friends,what do you think? anyone with similar issues with similar gaming laptop specs? maybe another thing on the note,in nvidia control panel settings,the whole usual section regarding to screen and video setting stuff is missing.also in the bit where you are setting which graphics card will control the PhysX,the GTX870M doesnt indicate any output..or input?,whatever it is...Could they at the assemble line connect something wrong way after all?? As I sayd before,I do believe after extensive testing and research that the graphics card is healthy..
