Hello,
I bought a HP dv7 quad edition laptop last summer, and now am noticing its having difficulty running games it should have no problems running. Things my old desktop can run better with 4 year old parts.
Laptop stats are below:
dv7t Quad Ed
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
• 2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2720QM (2.2 GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz
• 2GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6770M Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
• 8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 640GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• High Capacity 6-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery (standard) - Up to 5.5 hours of battery life +++
• 17.3" diagonal Full HD HP Anti-glare LED Display (1920 x 1080)
• FREE Upgrade to Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
• HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone and HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader
• Intel 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R) with Wireless Display Support
The laptop does run the two video cards set up that most HPs now seem to come packaged with. (I wasnt aware of this when I bought the laptop). Strangely enough, the Windows rating for graphics is a 3.4 with Gaming at 5.6.
The review for this laptop should have them both at 6.6 I think for this video card. I know if should perform better than my old NVidia 8800GTX which was a 6.3 (I think).
Ive already updated the drivers to the latest on the HP website. I cant install the latest Catalyst drivers because of the switchable graphics option on the laptop.
Diablo 3 does not run at all. Even with lowered settings and a 1366 x 768 res, its a choppy horrible mess. Unplayable as even the menu screen animations lag. No idea whats going on, but its driving me crazy. What would be causing this issue?
Does anyone else have a similar problem_
