The Samsung Series 5 550P Laptops Thread

[pratyush997]

I don't expect this lappy can run GTA V @ 900p and Mid-High Settings.....and run cool....I'm getting 45+ fps in GTA IV now..after using TS to fix FID @ 26 and gameplay is butter smooth...Max FPS-60 Min-30.. But Temps....No one can beat it!!!!LOL..
DAFAQ 101C ....seems like its snowfall here!!..Lappy is like ghost rider..dafaq Burning like sun......Its fun to play GTA IV on burning Machine!!!

IB Sux..SB were better...@ OC'ing and Normal Usage too.. Seems like Future lappies will have Water Cooling Systems!

^^ yea I know, it sucks....try out saints row the third, it can't beat gta, but its still fun to play...

and to those who think this laptop has a heating problem, please understand that its common with all ivy bridge laptops, even alienware M14x heats upto 94c under heavy load.....very demanding games like gta iv, bf3,will increase the temps....but games like batman, fifa, nfs won't cause such high temps....

WTF?? Alien ware Got GT 650M .I thought it was a GTX 660m ....Dell Seriously!!

 

[dan4u]

^^ yea IB sucks, I'm guessing future bios updates and driver updates will reduce the temps, and even though the 650m is gddr5 in m14x, its not worth the 95k price tag, yea GTX 660 should have been provided by dell....n I wonder why samsung doesn't release its series 7 gamer laptops in India....hey did you apply for refund??

 

[pratyush997]

^ I'll when I visit Service center! on 24th!...Can it be aplied online??

 

[dan4u]

^^ I don't think so, you have to give them the laptop, bag, recovery disc, and original bill...call your local service center if you want, they'll make you fill out a form and you'll get a DD in 10-12 days....

this laptop cant handle gta 4 on max settings thats it!!! boohoooo!

 

[pratyush997]

^LOL So it can't handle GTA v in med -high @900p ...

When I play nfshp2010 even then temp reach 85c. It may rise more in FIFA13. And I use cooling pad.And one guy having Dell with same config except DDR5 but he isn't facing any such issues.I think next gen of NP550 will be better


Got this from anandtech. I know this is different laptop with different resolution but if you guys just give it a shot with your own changes result might be good. But remember this chart is for GDDR5.

Wtf?? What has day & night got to do with the fps of the game??

 

[avj]

set max cpu performance to 90% u can easily get 45+ fps

 

[dan4u]

Wtf?? What has day & night got to do with the fps of the game??

A lot !! during day time there needs to be more light, details have to be more precise, at night there's less light needed. in short, the darker the image/scene the easier it is to render...

and HDR in day cut off few fps compare to playing in night.

Just wanted to know if it's safe to game on battery (high performance mode)? Also, if I keep the notebook connected to ac even when the battery's 100% charged, does it reduce the battery life / result in degradation of battery?

yes that results in degradation of battery life while playing on high performance mode at 100% charging, change your settings, charge your battery upto 80% for better future use.
