What kind of Issues?
Click to expand...

i have issues like random disconnections, and sometimes after disconnection, it doesn't reconnect unless you either reboot the system, or disable and re-enable the wireless adapter from network settings.. most probably bad drivers..

Hmm strange. I didn't encounter such type of problem. *Touchwood*
Btw ratul how's the performance of the latest amd 13.12 driver from the 13.9 one?

overall i have found leshcat 13.1 and leshcat 13.4 to be most stable but alot of people say that 13.12 is best for newer games which released a few months back
i havent been able to confirm this coz i have my entrance exams coming up but i believe it may be true
im sticking to 13.1 for now

if it's the accidental cover, it should be replaced, just tell the dell cc that the laptop fell accidentally and the part to be replaced..

I just want to share my views with you all.......
I have Dell Inspiron 17R SE.... (the one that comes with intel core i7 3610 version) .......
My laptop is almost a year old now and some heating issue are rising....it gets heated quickly and starts throttling.... of course when i am playing Games...

When it was new, it used to stay around 81 degree MAX at complete load on GPU and there used to be no throttling at all.... but now it reaches 91 degree and lots of throttling and sometimes my laptop gets automatically shutdown(actually instant shutdown) because of overheat.... :(


If i use cooling pad then my pc gets heated around 80 degree but do not throttle at all......

One more thing is that the left side of the keyboard and the palm resting area get heated very badly.... it is not at all comfortable to keep my hand there... actually the surface used to get heated since it was new.... but slowly its getting worse.....

Note:The place where i live is a moderate temperature area..... summer 32-33 degree Average.... i don't operate under AC room.....

The gameplay experience is okay..... 1080p with rest of the settings at medium..... even with new games so its not too bad and not too good

I just wanted to say that heating is the main issue in this laptop...... sadly i don't have any choice now :(

Mine is almost 2 yrs. old now, 15r, you can call dell cc and complain about overheating (exaggerate it a little, otherwise they won't register it), i have done it twice since last july, once cleaned and changed thermal paste, next time changed whole heatsink, and still it doesn't go beyond 85c while playing games like nfs rivals 0r blackflag (room temp 30-33)..

Thanks for giving me idea....
i actually did not know that how to show them the problem.... but i think i should force them to do something about it ;)


Thanks so much and i hope that they change some parts to control this overheating :)

I am guessing CPU bottleneck. CPU must be utilized 80-90%.
Another possibility is poor optimization of NFS Rivals by AMD.
My Inspiron 15 can barely run NFS Rivals @20 FPS. CPU getting used upto 80-90% and GPU barely getting used at all(poor scaling).

how is it that COD- Ghosts runs on more than medium giving 40+ frames while nfs rivals wont even run on lowest settings (8-9 fps)
Click to expand...

Well, here are my settings currently:
*i.imgur.com/eHhzsKZ.png

Normally stays at 27-30fps (still haven't unlocked the framerate).

Though i prefer to tone down effects quality to medium, as it reached to 20fps while in town in high..

yeah this would work, but remember, the best ram would be clocked down.. :)
