Studio 15R Graphics issues
Hey. Recently got into PC gaming on my Studio 15R - i5 processor, 4Gb RAM, claims up to 4Gb graphics card but I doubt it actually hits that.
Anyway. Having trouble running some games on decent settings - esp. Fallout NV which detected I should be running on "High" based on my hardware but doesn't run perfectly on a very scaled down Medium. Is there anything I can do to ensure all my graphic capabilities are being used? Is Turbo Boost automatic, for example. Changed power plan stuff to high but seems to have made little difference.
Cheers.

Most of these systems have only Intel-integrated video and are in no way, shape or form gaming sysetms.

Its got a good card, I know that - obviously I'm not expecting to run anything like Crysis on high but Fallout shouldn't be massively intensive. It was never intended as a gaming system but should be able to run most games on medium settings.

I purchased for my daughter the same computer with same specs that you have. Unfortunately she only plays one game and that is Sims 3 and she has no issues. The graphics card is really a 1gb card, but if you say it is 2gb then the extra gb is shared with memory. The only thing that I could suggest is what you are already doing and running games at lower settings. What games are you playing on it? You might try increasing your RAM but I think the true bottleneck you have is with your graphics card. Laptops are just not that great for gaming purposes.

Well, never expected much - can still run brand new games on medium so its not bad. Quality system for everything else though.
