Few causes of stuttering:- Low memory, extreme temperature and automatic down-clocking of processor/graphics card.
You may use MSI Afterburner's On Screen Display (OSD) to monitor these parameters while in game and locate possible culprit.
Afterburner can be used to limit temperature etc. as well.

I have ruled out these things - Low Memory, Switching to secondary GPU, CPU/GPU throttling (due to temp. or any other reason). Continue here.

GPU-Z shows 4GB VRAM. Nothing to worry about.

Try running Crysis 3 or any heavy game and post MSI Afterburner screenshot. GPU Memory usage should be visible.

Hello Guys, i have a question about the Y50 storage.
When I got the Y50, i partitioned the drive before using the One Key Recovery using [MENTION=139589]prometheus[/MENTION] guide.
After Partitioning, i have used the OKR once to back up my C drive.
The thing is, i had allotted 400gb to C drive and created 2 250gb drives.
But now I want to repartition the drives and allot 200gb to C and divide the rest between the other two.

So, anybody has any guide on how i can repartition without losing the OKR functionality.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS: And another thing, did anyone of you get the Windows 8.1 product key or any Windows CD having the key.
I mean, in short, has anyone of you asked for your Windows Product Key and got it.?

Thanks.

Hi amey2606,

I don't think you could do the re-partition, unless if there's a tool to do so, which am unaware of ...

I need one info. from your end as well.. How many drives where there when u received the y50 laptop? And how did you do the partitioning ?

Actually i have bought this laptop but am still waiting for it to arrive at my home, so i was just wondering on how to do the partition.

Thanks in Advance !!!

Your Windows Product Key is stored in your laptop's BIOS, you can extract it using this tool:
Download OEM-DM.7z

Partitioning can be done anyway, but at the expense of the functionality of OKR.
That is what I don't want to lose.
The Y50 comes with only one drive C and a small 20-25gb drive consisting of the drivers and apps.

Thanks brother.
So we have to find out the key ourselves.
I was hoping Lenovo would provide us with the Windows documentation, just like Dell does.

I used Windows disk management to shrink the C drive, and then Partition Wizard Home Edition to create new drives from the free space.
Regarding the warranty, afaik, it was valid only for laptops purchased till the 15th of August.
And also, Dell has a policy of not honouring warranty of laptops purchased from Snapdeal. Don't know about Lenovo though.
Contact the customer care service and check it out.
Best of luck.

Check out Snapdeal, It has great price( around 72k for 4gb model ).

Ya,but lenovo is giving 3 years warranty, which Snapdeal won't. So, it will come about 77K, better to pay 79 to lenovo in that case.

On this post, *www.digit.in/forum/laptops-netbooks/187092-lenovo-y510-something-else.html#post2160183 some people commented that the screen is very very bad on the y50 model, but one of the reasons I am buying this laptop is I would like the HD feel, will I get it or is it really bad?

I did some testing on copying a single file of 2GB from my Y50. Here are the findings...

Speed Test of Copying a Single 2GB Movie File
From -- To -- Speed -- Remarks
Y50 internal HDD -- Y50 internal HDD -- 7-15 MB/s -- Same partition different folder
Y50 internal HDD -- External WD NTFS HDD via USB 3.0 -- 35 MB/s -- WD My Passport 1TB 3.0 USB SS Ext HDD
Y50 internal HDD -- External FAT32 Pen Drive via USB 3.0 -- 17-20 MB/s -- JetFlash Transcend 32GB USB Device
Y50 internal HDD -- External NTFS Pen Drive via USB 3.0 -- 15-20 MB/s -- (Reformatted the Pen Drive to NTFS)

Do I need to do something to get it better?

Guess what, this laptop isn't about hard drive performance. If you really care about hard drive transfer rates then get your self an SSD.

Anyone who has bought from Snapdeal the GTX 860m 4GB version ?

They have listed the display as 1366x768. Nowhere have i seen the Lenovo Y50 having that resolution display. Only FHD 1920x1080 displays.

Can anyone confirm that after buying from Snapdeal has received a 1080p display.. I'm planning on buying from them as the price is really low compared to the alternative sellers like thedostore FlipKart Amazon etc.

Thanks in advance
