the Asus K53SV - SX521V and SX521D thread

@Cyanide
It shows Intel HD graphics in CCleaner. I don't have any screen pixelation issue.

@Cilus
Its okay... Asus India website is really bad, they don't even show the current products available. The closest i came to finding the same model as mine is at flipkart. Here is the link. But it comes with 1GB GT 520M graphics card, rest all are same.

 

[Cyanide]

ohk , I'll ask the Asus guy then. Will also inquire abt shared memory being 1696mb instead of 2gb

Placed my order at flip kart

In my windows experience index it shows 4.7 for desktop performance on aero , its quite low..

It is because of nVidia Optimus. The way it should be. Aero is being rendered by Intel HD 3000. Not by the nVidia GPU. It's normal.

For a proper performance audit, run a benchmark like Unigine Sanctuary or a game.

 

[Cyanide]

In other laptops (Asus models for eg : OP's one ) having optimus too , it still shows 5.7 - 5.9 .

Also, the screen pixelation issue still exists , the engineer hasn't come to my place yet .
Should I try reinstalling the OS (Win 7 x64 ultimate) or wait for the engineer to come ?

@s18000rpm : Let us know when your laptop gets delivered to you.

Doesn't matter. WEI is stupid. Run a game/benchmark. That's what matters.

 

[Cyanide]

OK , will run a benchmark and post the results here.

 

[RBX]

Doesn't matter. WEI is retarded.

+1. And I think - drivers play some role. My WEI dropped to 4.9 from 5.7 after I updated my nVidia drivers from 280.26 to 285.62.
Maybe the drivers are bad; since the update, my Firefox doesn't show any menus unless I force it to be run with Nvidia GPU.
Edit:
Wait, if the nvidia drivers were bad, Intel HD 3000 should have got it all right, but it didn't. I'm confused.

 

[Cyanide]

I've upgraded my Intel HD graphics too via Windows update.

 

[s18000rpm]

@cyanide, give me link to laptop driver page

couldn't find it in Asus India website

edit: got it

have anyone tried battlefield 3 or call of duty modern warfare 3 in k53sv SX521V

I have seen a couple of videos on YouTube in which they show the gameplay of both battlefield 3 and modern warfare 3 on k53sv

@Cyanide
Any updates on display issue??

@s18000rpm
Congrats.. When will your laptop be delivered?

Even i think WEI is not accurate, it shows weird results at times. I'll be out of station for a few days, so won't have access to my lappy.

 

[ico]

^^ I think he has got it today. Let's see what he posts.

Congrats to him.

@ico
I've downloaded unigine sanctuary 2.3, with what settings should i run the benchmark? Sorry, i'm new to this.

 

[ico]

Run at Direct3D 11.

Stereo3D disabled.

Ambient occlusion unchecked.

Shaders high.

Anisotropy 1.

Anti-aliasing off.

Full screen checked.

Resolution: native resolution of your screen.

 

[Alien]

Thanks, will run the test and post results.

@ico
I don't know why the GPU is shown as Intel HD Graphics. I don't know what this score means. How does it compare with others??

 

[ico]

The score is fine according to me. It would be good if other people run this benchmark as well. Sanctuary Benchmark 2.3 | Unigine - only 30 MB and it is a good benchmark.

heck, even when I run the above benchmark on my PC, it also reports Intel HD Graphics family because I have a Z68 chipset motherboard. It is normal. I'm sure of the fact that Intel HD 3000 won't give this score.
