hermes09 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Recently, my friend bought a laptop with DUAL-Nvidia GTX580M(you know which alien laptop what i mean). Sometimes, he experiencing stuttering when playing Metro 2033 on Steam..... When i saw the adapter spec, it listed like this:19.5V = 15.4A. My question: is that adapter is delivering enough power to the laptop? Edited July 16, 2011 by hermes09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goth Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 You think the company will give you an adapter that doesn't even power the laptop fully? lol i am sure its enough. What resolution is it? 1920x1080? What settings is he using to play it on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nVidia_Freak Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Metro 2033 is just a bitch of a game to get to play smoothly. If he has hardware PhysX enabled, that's going to drag performance down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Goth Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 http://www.geforce.com/#/Optimize/OPS/Metro-2033-GeForce-GTX-580-OPS Try running at these settings, with quality on Very high. If it still stutters than either its a hardware problem or a software. Should be a software one most probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IVIYTH0S Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Did you check the graphs in MSI Afterburner to see if it's actually throttling, if the computer dies while it's playing a game after a couple hours than that is a sign of a bad adapter...

MandoPatriot Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 It's not graphics throttling. It is the issue of running more than one card on a laptop. MXM is not the greatest, and certainly doesn't work well with Crossfire or SLI. Sometimes you get the stuttering, sometimes you don't.

hermes09 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) @Goth Yeah, the game set to 8xMSAA @IVI Nah, i use GPU-Z to check the clock and yes, it throttle back to 327MHz couple seconds in gaming then back to default after back into windows @TP I wonder how OEMs test the hardware though Edited July 16, 2011 by hermes09 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
