The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

[Anirban Dev]

This is somewhat off-topic, but looking at the volume these models (Samsung and DELL S.E) have sold(judging by the sample group of these forums), does no one else find it odd that HP/Asus/Lenovo are taking their sweet time in releasing in India good Ivy Bridge/GPU combos. I think most will be able to price an i5/GT650m combo under 60k in order to be competetive.Wonder what they are waiting for.

URGENT PROBLEM!!! I made a clean install of Windows 7 HP on my laptop. When I am trying to install Samsung Recovery Solution, the following message appears-

"There is no Samsung Recovery Area in your hard disk drive"



But I never deleted the Recovery Partition. It is still there.



Please help!!!

[pratyush997]

[pratyush997]

WTF??^^^ u got 29 fps avg. that too in medium settings

temps are awesome!

Same thing happened with me twice, that sound was from optical drive i guess...my battery wear level went to 16% but now again it came to 0% thanks to pratyush and 55C during normal browsing is normal. don't worry about it. i don't use turbo mode...i changed CPU max to 60% and play skyrim at 30-45fps

I want to know that how to reduce battery wear lvl iff it has already increased. mine currently showing 3%


Though I m not in mood to go for clean installation. But will there b any benefit iff I do so. As there arent any bloatware in it.

you can try in ultra settings, and results will be the same, NFS Run is default capped at 30fps, need to install a patch (google it) to go beyond 30fps..
I ended run in ultra settings @ 30fps..

 

[TheSloth]

@Funny: Did You set 'High Performance' in Power Options? if not then try it. The fps should be 60 as you are playing in medium settings
EDIT: "NFS Run is default capped at 30fps", didn't know that
@ratul: Did you patch? If yes then what are the fps now you are getting?

 

[Funny]

Yes, I am not sure about the FPS, maybe because I have disabled V-Sync in nVidia settings. But the game is smooth!

@ Swapnil: Yes I was using High Performance. Tried changing to Turbo mode, din't make any difference. Must apply some patch I guess!

 

[RON28]

NFS RUN is capped at 30fps. So it won't go beyong that

 

[pratyush997]

The new patch removes it . link
