Hello, first time Dell buyer with experience with gaming laptops. First time posting like this.
I bought a Alienware 17 R2 a few days ago and have been using it since. From the system specs I expected a huge increase in graphics and my gaming experience. However it has hardly surpassed my 3 year old Asus if not the same level in fps during game play.
My specs are as follows:
- Alienware 17 R2, Windows 8.1
- Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz, 2501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M & Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
- 16GB Ram
I have updated graphics drivers and bios. Made sure 980M was the card being used through Nvidia control panel. Ran diagnostics. Not sure what to do or if I am expecting too much from a high end laptop.
Anything else needed please ask. I apologize for any ignorance in the subjects.
