Laptop graphics won't go higher

[Tony Pomroy]

hey guys, I'm playing Titanfall and the in-game graphics are set to high but clearly have not changed from the low settings, anyone know why? I think it might have to do with NVidia control panel but I'm not positive

do you experience this in other games

I don't think so, I have been able to change graphics in Day Z and Gunz 2

Perhaps you have reached the limits of your laptop graphics? Without knowing anything about your laptop, it's kinda difficult for us to give you good, specific advice.

ooo right! sorry, i made this post yesterday but it didn't register, sorry! Graphics card is 2 GB Geforce 740M.
Laptop has Intel-Core I5-3337U, 1.8 GHz.
Need anything else just say 😛 sorry

Well, decent laptop, but it is only i5 which isn't holding it up, but the 740m is really low maybe maybe sneaking into mid range laptop gpu. The new titanfall game is pretty demanding. You'd need like a 770m or higher, maybe a new 860m idk yet not to much reviews on that.

are you sure when you run the games it isnt trying to run on your integrated graphics? try right clciking and forcing to use with 740m

I have it on using the high performance nvidia processor in global settings if thats what you mean. But even if it was the processor, wouldn't it get the settings up but have extreme fps lag? What's happening now is that there's no occurrence in graphics change

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

have you updated the drivers for it lately nvidia might have a new driver that promotes better performance on titanfall,

 

[Dblkk]

Idk, I have a i7 4700m, 16gb ram, 1tb Samsung 840evo ssd, and a radeon hd 8800m and i'm getting at best 20-30 fps on low graphics 720p. I stopped playing on laptop as if anything major happens in game graphics wise, so like 3/4 of the game, its like a 4fps slow speed slideshow.

 

[Tony Pomroy]

Think it could be the driver? And the game is running perfect. Not a thing wrong with the fps' 😛

 

[bigpinkdragon286]

There is always the possibility that Titanfall is malfunctioning. It has only recently been released.

On the other hand, I really wouldn't expect a 740m to be able to handle much more than some of the details set to medium at playable frame rates.

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

it could be also in the game settings is there an option to enable dx11 this might be it as well

 

[Tony Pomroy]

But Day Z has pretty good graphics as well and it works fine for that!

titanfall is newer so the newer drivers may support the game better also the game may have detected you mgpu and set the dx11 off and this may be why it looks the way it does. if it did i doubt you can run it with dx11 on and decent fps

 

[bigpinkdragon286]

Day Z and Titanfall are two different pieces of software. Just because one behaves the way you expect doesn't mean the other will. Like Bad_Kitty13 has suggested, your best bet are updated drivers. Also, if there are any patches available for the game, install them. You may also try disabling the on-board graphics of your laptop, and see if that improves the situation.

got it fixxed! the drivers needed to be updated thanks all

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

no probs

 

[bigpinkdragon286]

Glad you got it sorted out! 🙂

 

[Tony Pomroy]

By the way, awesome game hahaha
