GTX960 getting only 20 fps?

[gas station weed enthusiast]

So when I bought the game for my laptop (msi GE62 2qd apache pro) it said the recommended graphics card was a gtx 780, but when I loaded up the game, I was getting only 20 fps at low graphics. Any reason for this/possible solutions?

Erm.. sorry for my skrub-ness but I don't remember how to do that, since I don't seem to see it in the driver settings

Within the game , go to options , video , vertical synchronization and switch it off from there.

Its called "vertical sync" in the driver. You can turn it off or set it to adaptive.

[Limp Squirrel]

if you set it off in your video driver's general/default profile, it will turn Vsync off for all games. I would instead suggest just turning it off in the game's video options. Alternatively, you create a custom Nvidia profile for DI:R in the Nvidia Control panel and turn Vsync off there.

Remember that you're using a laptop and laptop's graphics (especially the one you're using) won't estimate to deskop ones (in terms of power, it is close to the power of the desktop's 750 TI.) So I'd amend the title to add that 'm' to the end of the 960 for better assistance.

Also, in the recommended and minimum specs, it states that laptop graphics cards may work but are not supported.

Low to Mid Tier laptop gpus are not supported and will have issues with the definitive dead island games

Laptop GPUs in general arent Officially supported, doesnt matter what Tier they are.
Which means you probably wont get much if any support for issues when using a Laptop GPU.

And a GTX 960 can handle the DE's just fine, though shadows may kill performance a bit.

And the best thing to do is to DEFAULT the settings in the NVIDIA Control panel, not all games like having forced settings.

No need for such hostility, as they say; "If you've got nothing good to say, then don't say a thing and move on."

GTX960M and GTX960 are totally different things. anyways, i used to play the non-HD version on GTX560M just fine.

Exactly. I'm on GTX960 and the game runs perfectly all on high with VSync on.

Hello,

you can try to force using Nvidia GPU. Here how to do it:

1. Open the Windows Start Menu
2. Enter “Nvidia control panel” into the Search field and run it
3. Select “Manage 3D Settings” from the option in the left-hand panel
4. Add and select "Dead Island Riptide" to change the graphics processor for Dead Island Riptide software unde "Select a program to customize".
5. Select your NVidia graphics card under "preferred graphics processor" instead of the default “auto-select”.

Hey Piotrek, do you plan to release any patches? Game got lots of problems right now, for example - messed up sound when you can hear zombies all the time, even if they are far away from you, or glitches with player's respawn in places that you shouldn't be able to access.
