Hello everyone, I bought this alienware M18x R2 in january of 2013. Im no expert in computers but i have built a desktop around 10 years ago. Ive only been playing diablo 2 since i bought this laptop (i know....) and im the type to stick to what i know. Anyways fast forward to 2015 and ive been playing skyrim and far cry 4. I finnaly figured out how to display framerates and on ultra in skyrim its runing around 40fps but as soon as i get some action it drops to 25-30.
In far cry 4 its basically the same, in ultra it runs at around 40 then when theres action its drops below 30 even sometimes even slower. I set far cry to LOW and even then it runs around 60 but sometimes (often) drops to 15-20 fps. sometimes even slower...
Am i doing something wrong??
Also how do I find out what hard drives i have? I know i have 2 (one solid state and one regular).
Also how do i know what RAM i have(pretty sure its DDR3)
Please help as this laptop cost me around 4500$ and so far its not performing better than a ps3...
Thanks.
my specs are
M18X R2
Intel core i7-3840QM @ 2.8 GHz
24 GB RAM
Dual GTX 675M
