Lenovo Y50-70 FPS

[Redgard]

Hello,

I tried to search everywhere and maybe i missed something (i am new to Heroes VII cause waited for a lot of patches) but on my laptop Lenovo Y50-70 i get on max settings only 30 fps and lowering graph gives nothing, only when i change the screen resolution to minimum then i get 40 fps. It's O_o.

In Nvidia i have selected ofcourse nvidia card (in game it is visible too). Can something be done?
Card GTX 960M. should have great FPS.
Newest drivers etc ofcourse

should get better then that. that 960m is like a 780 i think. what resolution are you playing on?? try to lower the resolution and then tweek your graphic settings...you have to make sure you are using that dedicated videeo card and not a hybrid settup like most laptops use.

and no...you will not get 70fps...you dont need that much anyway, its a turnbased strategy. also you can speed up the way the heroes and ai moves with ai turns,adventure map and combat in the options menu. that will give the illusion the fps is running faster.

Have you tried turning off vsync?

On my work PC I get around 63-65 FPS with VSync off on a GTX 670 (on a debug build, not a retail build though :D ). You should get around the same I think, if I'm not overestimating the 960M's capabilities.

Nvidia is selected for sure but one thing is fishy.
1) In game Nvidia is selected and i can't select my weak card in motherboard. The option is gray.
2) Nvidia control panel. Global paremeter - use only Nvidia. Specific for game - Nivida too. But here comes the funny part. If i select my intel card in global paremeters and specificaly for Heroes.... the FPS isn't changing. Soooooo O_o heroes ignores configurations and still uses intel card? maybe i need to install some specific old nvidia drivers? dunno

Same problem here, the game won't use my nvidia 960 m.
What ever I'm doing, the game still use my onboard grafic chip.
(if I turn the onboard grafic chip off, the game don't start. It always crushes)
Ingame I'm not able to change the Graficcard, because it's grey.
Only problems with this game.(since day one -.-)

your running off the chip in the cpu it seems, not the video card...deelete vnvidia driveers and reinstalll them...maybe they are corrupted...another thing...go to nvidia control panel...select the configure sound and physx on the left side...change auto setting to your graphics card in the drop down...

Tried to chose nvidia for physc and fully removed drivers and istalled the latest.... no help :-(

try this....go to control panel in windows...go to device manager...then display adapters...disable intel hd graphics and make sure nvidia is installed and working properly. i saw videoes on youtube that explain this problem folks are having with the y40 and 50 laptops.

btw the reviews on that laptop are fantastic,so you should seee a great improvement in all games when you do this.just remember to look at that when restarting your laptop...it may default back to the intel hd chip again.

The intel HD works like a bridge. If i disable it, then Nvidia isn't working at all. Maybe you have some video specificaly for this laptop model. Was searching previously cause wanted to have only nvidia and ingore intel HD but... found that the Intel HD is like a bridge....

960M is about 20% faster than 860M which in turn is equivalent to a desktop 750 Ti, so no I'm sure as hell it's not "like a 780".

I think you are. I have a 860M which is about 20% slower than a 960M and can only get 30-40fps on max settings. To put it in comparison:

Your 670 is about 5% faster than a 760
A 760 is about 60% faster than a 750 Ti
A 860M is somewhat equivalent to a 750 Ti
A 960M is about 20% faster than a 860M

Heck I can't even play the old HoMM VI on ultra at 60fps (always fluctuating between 40-50fps) so IMO 30-40fps should be the expected frame rate maxing out considering OP's specs.

That won't work, as i said.
The game still use the inegrated grafic chip.
Would be nice if a dev can give us some advices how to fix that.

a dev cant help you fix your laptop...lol...contact Lenovo...btw this does work above me...either you card iss dead/defective or your gforce experience drivers are corrupted

Hi Bibron. I'm unsure if we can help you with your specific issue as it seems entirely hardware related. What I will do is see is the engine developer has any sort of idea to ensure the gfx card gets used, but I suspect this is a very niche case. I'll update when I find out more information.
