@rider : If you are using a cracked version of the games, you might need to change some file configs etc for full screen. I had the same problem with Mafia 2. I used 1360*768 windowed mode + ShiftWindow to run the game. It ran perfectly at all high settings. Got 40+ fps in Mafia 2 benchmark

what changes and how to do?

Just run shiftwindow as admin followed by mafia2. After game starts, start shiftWindow from taskbar, Hit Grab and select Mafia 2. Then click on Trigger it

HP DV6 6165TX
hello friends

I have a hpdv6 6165tx. I came across articles regarding hp's highest hardware failure rates,many user's complaints in previous old hp series models especially in dv6000.many of them are after one year of usage.few problems were because of bad nvidia chips,heating issues.

CAN you guys give me some confidence me that hp has resolved all these issues in its new dv6t series with better heat dispersion mechanism,design,bios updates,and also with ATI graphics (ati cards seem to heat up less) ?

I request all the owners to add their comments and views on this.

thanks and regards

Hp pavilion dv6 6165tx or lenovo ideapad ??

Sorry to repeat what nimish said but i have to ask this question.
I have to buy a lappy in 3 days and i can't choose between these two

Specs of both laptops are nearly same ( only HDD of Hp is more and hp has ati radeon while lenovo has nvidia)
ideapd is available for 52k while hp is available for 58k
(Money is not an issue if i am getting a better laptop)

Anyway all i want is a good laptop which can last for atleast 4 yrs and which can tolerate my abusing (HARDCORE GAMER nothing else:wink:). my main concern for hp is the pathetic direction keys and its touchpad while i don't know much about lenovo laptops and also have read much about ideapad's heating issues so i'm unsure whether i should buy it. So can anyone recommend me which laptop i should purchase :confused:? Please help me

Which Ideapad are you talking about? I hope it is Y570. I think it is a superior product. But you might need to do some more research on its GPU. I have read that the GT555M on this one is limited in number of shaders.

As you have bought already,no point reading reading reviews now.
Just enjoy it mate!
Personally,I do not like hp consumer laptops at all.
But here many people are happy with it.
It is a matter of personal preference.

First of all thanks for replying, really appreciate that:smile:. Yeah its Y570. But i have heard its got heating issues.
Hp has coolsense technology though. hence think it will be useful for long term.

Anyway do we have to do that tinkering after buying 6165tx ??

On another note,who comes up with these random questions ? I'm really weak in general knowledge,have to search answer everytime on web:wink::crazy:.

which Radeon drivers are you running on ur laptop?
Has anyone tried out the 11.12 drivers?

++my laptop seems to be heating up excessively these past few weeks... in-spite of having a laptop cooler! I use the laptop for work for around 8-10 hours a day and then play for a couple o hours... hope the hardware isn't giving way so soon...

use your laptop in a cool environment on a hard table or something.limit maximum processor to 75 % in advanced power settings.use cool sense technology always.if laptop gets heated ,stop gaming and start again after some time.

As far as the performance of the laptop is considered, I have successfully completed The Run at everything maxxed, and I didn't face this issue. This has more to do with the game installation, or other software problem. Sorry mate, can't help.

I have recently bought a 6165. Since I prefer to work on a bigger screen I always try and connect to a monitor if I have the option. But the issue I see while connecting to the monitor(FULL HD) is that the picture does not seem crisp at all. It's a bit hazy(not so much that one can't work on it, but enough to notice it). Can u guys suggest me something that might be able to solve my problem.

I have another query... I understand after reading some of the posts in this thread that 1 has to update drivers for bios and graphics. Now there are quite a few drivers present on the hp support site. Do I have to install all the updates or only the most recent ones.
Another question where do I install the latest ATI CCC from....could you also tell me the latest version which would be supported on my laptop.
