Hi
Just looking for some advice.
I have an 8 month old M14x R2:
i7 3610, 8GB Ram, 2gb Nvidia GeForce 650M.
In the last week I have download 3 games to try (Arma 2, Need for speed most wanted and XCOM). All of them on opening the application have problems with graphic artifacts on moving sections. The actual frame rate appears to be fine and smooth but these artifacts are really causing problems with the ability to play the games. It is still able to play crysis 2 with no problems.
I have fiddled around with all the settings including moving them to lowest graphics options. but the artifact is still persistent for them all. I have removed the cover and cleaned out the vents etc, although there wasnt much to clean out and I have also updated all of the drivers. The laptop does not appear to have a heating issue, I have used a coooling pad since day 1 as my previous laptop had problems with this.
I have seen videos on youtube with people using similiar specs to mine running these games absolutely fine.
I was just wondering if it could be a graphics card problem or some other issue which I am not aware of.
Any advice or help would be welcome.
