[totoocyber]

[TheLucifer69]

hey dude i have the exact same laptop with the same configurations!!..

but my problem is when i run BF3 it DOES NOT play on FULLSCREEN

can you please tell me a solution for this?

what drivers are you using can please type the version number here please!!!

[totoocyber]

@crysis3008 i have no solution because for me that works .. i have drivers from official amd website. No beta drivers, the final last version. goo. gl/4G6iu

[totoocyber]

@crysis3008 Look the description, i put a link to the drivers for the graphics card.

[tueti2]

@totoocyber found the newest driver. but the game still crashes now and than

[totoocyber]

@tueti2 Weird, i'm sorry i have no solution .. mine works fine on BF3.

[totoocyber]

Look the description, i put a link to the drivers for the graphics card.

[tueti2]

@totoocyber no all driver are original like i got it out of the box. but i found newer driver with choosing a different modellnumber. I will try them now. Where did you found the betadrivers? i don't see them on the sony website. maybe the work fine for me ;)

[totoocyber]

Sony, if you wait Sony you can wait ... no go on amd / ati website.

support . amd . com and select notebook and your gpu drivers : its 6630m

[totoocyber]

@tueti2 working ? :)

[tueti2]

@totoocyber i have the same laptop and same configuration, but i have the problem that the game freezes after about 30 min. only a reboot helps then. I'm guessing that the gpu is getting to hot. did you recognise same or equel problems?

[totoocyber]

@tueti2 Do you have no-beta and last drivers ? because, i know your problem but only with beta drivers :( with standard drivers, it works fine.

[m4tttc]

im planning on buying a sony vaio with the same graphics card but with an i5 processor. Will it run Battlefield Bad Company 2 well?

[totoocyber]

@m4tttc yeah without problem for bfbc2

[dbarrera767]

@totoocyber If you set the resolution that far down, how does that affect the gameplay? Does it cancel out the ultra effects or just make your area of view a lot smaller? I have the exact same computer as you so I'm just a little curious

[totoocyber]

@natekhan of course

[theZukbg]

@totoocyber You've got the same laptop as me! Good choice!

Have you got the beta Radeon drivers installed? I don't want to screw up the graphics switching or VAIO update by installing them. From past experience with my old VAIO it's best to install drivers through VAIO update rather than from NVidia or AMD.

[totoocyber]

@theZukbg No, not now .. beta drivers don't work with overclock gpu and crash after 30 minutes of game. With that, i'm not sure about the update but i don't think Sony will update the graphics drivers for a while... After, maybe i'm wrong. Yes, i wait the last 11.10 too normally on middle/end septembre. We hope !

[theZukbg]

@totoocyber Thing is, as far as I know, Sony and other OEMs tend to make small modifications to their GPUs (usually underclocking them) and the Catalyst drivers on the SA are made to specifically work with the graphics switching. AMD's site recommend waiting for an update from Sony, which means we have to wait ages. What do you use to OC - Trixx or Rivatuner? I used Rivatuner on my old VAIO and it worked well, but many SA and SB owners use Trixx.

[totoocyber]

@theZukbg Yes but too many time for update... too bad for users. I use Trixx for better overclock with gpu. I win ~ 5 - 10 fps with a small oc with 625 core clock and 925 on memory clock.

[totoocyber]

@theZukbg Sorry, 950 on memory clock. And the video was recorded without overclock.

[Cballin]

yeah for a lappy i would put it on high-medium

[gmaster45612374]

Seems pretty choppy

[theZukbg]

@gmaster45612374 Don't forget he's screen capping - it can cause some quite drastic framerate drops.

[gmaster45612374]

@theZukbg True. I forgot to consider that
