Hello Dear Community!

I have these weird 10 second lags... 3 things i know:

1. it started 2 Days ago, before that it was running nice and smooth
2. They repead like every 10 minutes and last like 10 seconds
3. They have nothing to do with my connection, i usually play via WLAN and when i put a LAN wire on my laptop nothing is changing...

it doesnt bother me much when i go as infantry or driving a tank but i CANT fly a chopper with this lags and i love doing transport and dropping crates for the team...

so PLS pr community PIMP MY PC!

my data is:
Windows 8 Lenovo Notebook
Processor: Intel Core I3-2328m @CPU 2.20GHz
Ram: 8GB
Systemtype: 64bit, x64 based processor

i dont know what graphiccard i have i only know its from NVIDIA

EDIT: my graphics card is a Intel(R) HD 3000

Which NVidia is quite important...
Go to configuration panel (Systemsteuerung), Ger?te-manager. there you see WHICH Nvidia.

Please let us know what changed in your system over the last 2 days

I have this issue on WIN7 too, Screen freeze for couples of secs???
IDK the reason, but I have to reintall my OS completely then I can get rid of this problem. I am just too lazy since this problem happened twice.
Some softwares u install can cause such a problem, but I dont know which certain of them.

okay i found out that my graphics card is a Intel(R) HD 3000.

I tried deleting the cache folder but still had those lags... after 2 reinstallations with and without profile files i still have this problem..

does anyone have any ideas? i want to play this game again

EDIT: ah and i also made a manual update for punkbuster... but still...

You need to tell us the exact model number of your notebook.

I suggest downloading and isntalling this: HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
Run it once, in the list of installed hardware, it will tell you if you have a discrete GPU installed.
Take a screenshot or write it down and post the results on this thread.


It sounds like you have a dual graphics notebook. Referred to as Nvidia Optimus Technology on your line of notebooks.
That means you have the discrete Nvidia Graphics card, and you have the integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics.

If you do indeed have an NVidia graphics card, I think it is not activating when you start a game.
This is most often due to
1. You start PR without your power cable plugged in
2. You switched your Windows Power Profile
3. You experimented with the power settings in your NVidia Control Panel

By default On most Lenovo notebooks, if the power cord is not plugged in, the notebook stays in low power mode, which means it uses the Intel HD 300 and not the discrete NVidia GPU.

it is quite possible that i switched my power profile to "balanced" in that time but im not sure...
i tried switching it back on "high" but i still get those lags

and the picture: here you go!

IDK what happened,
Where it says LENOVO INVALID
that is supposed to say something like LENOVO T520 or LENOVO Y500

Still need to know the exact model number, I still don't know if you own a discrete GPU or not.

I just saw "G780" at the left bottom of my screen and i googled it and it looks like my laptop so i think thats what you need...

i think my lenovo is a G780, i hope that helps you to help me!

Hmm... sieht so aus ob du da ne GT 630 drin stecken hast (GOOGLE, reviews:
Lenovo G780 Produkteinsch?tzung - Test - Das meint das Web - Notebook, Netbook - PC-WELT
&
Test Lenovo G780 Notebook - Notebookcheck.com Tests

)...
LOL das ist soo lustig, dass du selbst "keine Ahnung" hast, was bei dir die game-Grafik-power "erzeugt"... xD lol

Also, zum Thema:
EIGENTLICH w?re f?r PR ne 640 das minimale Optimum, um dort eine akzeptable Mischung aus Qualit?t und Leistung (also auch fps m??ig) zu erreichen...

Und da in deinem Screenshot sehr gut zu erkennen ist, dass da, wo ich die "GT 640" vermuten w?rde, "INVALID" steht, k?nnte die GT 630 durchgebrannt sein oder die Grafikspeicher... wer wei? (?berhitzt?) ?
Hoffentlich lieg ich da aber falsch...

Da unten steht noch n link (englischer Teil bei BTW, ist evtl. mein n?chster/erster (gaming-)"Laptop", hab ja im moment noch n 10" Netbook mit Intel's ERSTEM Atom, dem N270 (1x 1.8 GHz ! wtf! xD und 1024x600 und 1 GB RAM! xD LOL ciao... istn langsames ding...)

Englis(c)h:


Well, looks like you got a GT 630 in there (GOOGLE, reviews, check links above...)...
LOL this is so funny, that you have actually (apparently) no clue, what exactly is "powering" your amazing ingame-graphics... xD lol

Now on topic:
ACTUALLY, for PR, a GT 640 would be the minimum optimum to DECENTLY play PR in accetable quality & performance (so also fps wise)...

And since there is "INVALID" in the screenshot, at the position where I'd expect the "GT 630", your GT 630 could be fried, or its graphic memory... who knows... (overheated?) ?
But hoping I'm wrong there...


BTW

I'm thinking of buying this one...

(would be my next/first (gaming-)"Laptop", since I know have a 10" Netbook for some time now, has Intels FIRST EVER Atom, the N270 "running" @ 1x 1.8 GHz wtf xD and 1024x600 & 1 GB RAM... -.- good bye... xD )

... quite cheaper than what you got there (I bet), and QUITE moar powerful... xD

OK, you own a Lenovo Essential G780.
There are over 15 different models in the G780 series.
First off, download this PDF that lists them all:
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/3book.pdf

Then, go here:
Lenovo Support - Find My Product Number
Click on this Blue link "ThinkPad and Value Line notebooks"

It will show you what to look for on bottom of the notebook.

When you find the number, cross reference it to the PDF in the first link. Then post the info in this thread.

Cheers,

Lol, that's what I was frightened of, by the Lenovo notebooks, that they call a notebook with a number that can be 15 different models... -.-
So PLS, graphics card!

okay, so this is all the information i got from the cover of my notebook:
Modelname: 2182
MfgDate: 12/09/19
S/N: CB18619447 P/N: 59351345
MO: CB02091903 Factory ID: PRC4

and then there was a barcode below the battery that is didnt see first with this number:
2962001500046 QIWG7110633

and my graphics card is a

NVIDIA Geforce GT635M

and i also have another integrated graphics card: Intel(R) HD 3000

Did any game was running in background when you captured this picture ?! if there wasn't , then your problem is CPU overheating for sure !!!
Normal CPU temperature should be around 40'C when you're not playing and around 80'C when you're in the game ! (around 60'C when game is running in background)
