yeah, that didn't help, either!
So, if anyone decides to try out NFS:Rivals, please let me know if it works on your Y510p! :(

Typing this on my y510p...NFS rivals works perfectly fine... playing it these days...already completed NFS run on this machine along with battlefield 3 and COD Ghosts...all games worked at maximum settings without any problems.

I have upgraded to 8.1 (goto store and let the 4 gb (approx) update install...just leave it overnight)...
In order to run games...make sure you have an updated .net framework...8.1 has inbuilt 4.5 .net framework ...
update direct x version and incorporate older redist definitions and vc++ files(often bundled with games).
Goto Geforce Expereince software(just search it) and check you nvidia driver version....leave it at 327.62 and DO NOT UPGRADE to 332.21 as an update is available...this update is buggy and will not somehow let you play some games...it created problems for battlefield 3 and cod ghosts.
Also use ccleaner to keep your registry healthy and get rid of crapware installed on this machine...few softwares are just plain wastage of storage and memory.

COD:Ghosts on max :shock: that's a little hard to believe. Even I am barely getting playable 30 FPS. What FPS are you getting? I guess 17-20 FPS is playable to some.

On a Lenovo y510p (59390016) with gt755m, I did not really mean on ultra settings for COD Ghosts but out of curiosity i just checked and i am getting a 34 FPS on ultra...on high i get 55fps and med settings 74 fps.

for ultra and high i kept resolution at 1920x1080.

Anybody tried throttling cpu upwards from 2.4 ghz.

Short & useful notice for Y510p owners / wishers about CPU turbo boost throttling and solution

Please try and let us know about the results.

This is in efforts to overcome a badly implemented technology... our cpu supports throttling but our machine does not...we are losing on valuable computing power which could be used in computing intensive tasks....test and let us know the safe limits (with tolerable heating values.)

Thanks for that!
But it is already updated to 332.21! :(
Any way I can try downgrading the software?

Ccleaner....done
.NET framework update....done
VS installation....done
DirectX...version 11 installed
Win 8.1 ....done

Could it be a problem with my laptop? :/

UPDATE : I am unable to play even NFS most wanted. It says that a better graphics card with updated drivers is required.

What about anti-aliasing? 4xTXAA and texture resolutions= extra?

- - - Updated - - -

Try setting anti-aliasing to 4xMSAA and change texture quality to manual and set everything below it to extra. Change ambient occlusion to HBAO+. Tell me the results after these settings.
It's hard to believe that a mere GT 755m can give 34 FPS on ultra settings. The GTX 770m in Alienware 17 and Asus G750JX struggles to maintain a constant 30.

*www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-770M.88995.0.html

4xTXAA is even more taxing.

I manage to get 35-40 FPS in 4xMSAA settings with some real bad micro-stuttering thrown in sometimes(probably a driver issue on 334.67 BETA).
Vsync brings down the FPS to a constant 30 but is worth it.

At 4xTXAA I get 27-30FPS Vsync off.

I guess it was the drivers' issue. I uninstalled the 332 drivers and installed the 311 drivers (that came pre-bundled in D drive).
Now the games run, NFS Rivals is slow whereas, NFS MW is good at lower resolution, but becomes slow at Full HD resolution and all the effects turned ON.

I'll now update the drivers to 327.23, I hope this shouldn't cause any problems!

Obviously it will be slow. GT 755m is a mid tier card, what else do you expect. I was able to run NFS Rivals at full resolution+ evrything to max at 24-28 FPS on a SINGLE GT650m OC. What's your score? Use FRAPS.

332 is buggy and is problematic with games like bf,cod. 311 are still doing good for me.

Actually I was expecting some nice gaming, given that it has GDDR5 memory! :p

Game performance depends on the cumulative performance of the shaders, their amount, their architecture, type of memory, amount of memory, Interface and the frequencies of both the memory and core clocks.
Falling short on any one will lead to degradation in performance. The GT750m has low no. of shaders(384) hence the low performance. It's not a gaming laptop, it falls in the high end multimedia category.

Well in my case NFS Rivals run butter smooth with every thing maxed out.

Info:
Lenovo Y510P
Nvidia Driver: 332.21
Intel Video Driver: 10.18.10.3379
OS: Windows 8.1

Tips:
1). Install all OS updates
2). Install all latest 64 bit drivers
3). Try to install all 64 bit softwares where ever possible
4). After all the updates run any good cleaning software and than defragment your HDD or use TRIM if you have SSD.

Can you please post FRAPS FPS results? There is no other way to determine whether it is smooth or not.
