So I just got the Asus G51JX-X3 today,
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003...pf_rd_i=915398
I expected it to run most games better than it is now, I've only tried two games, the first was GMOD, and it ran just fine, but then I tried the Crysis demo, and I had to play on low-medium graphics to play with minimal glitches (offline lag - some frame skips)
Now I just don't get why it runs worse than the G60JX, which has the same specs, and runs games better. I guess I will know for sure tomorrow when I try GTA 4 on this, when I saw an example of it playing on the G60JX, it was playing past 30 FPS, but I doubt this machine will do the same.
A BIG problem I'm worried about
Sometimes when I play games, after a bit, it just starts glitching out, first it was in GMOD after around 20 minutes of playing, around every 4-8 seconds it would start freezing for a very short while, while the fans were blowing out hot air. The second time was when I was playing Crysis (the demo), it just starting glitching the same way just after I had lowered the graphical settings to some low but mostly medium.
I'm pretty sure I found a driver update for the graphics card, I installed it, and I'm pretty sure it helped a bit but this was before I tried the Crysis demo.
SO, here are the questions I am asking:
Why does it not perform as well as the G60JX?
Why are there the annoying framerate skips after playing for a while?
Do you think I will be able to run GTA 4 well?
I'm asking because my parents spent a lot of money on this laptop, all I wanted all year was a laptop, and I think for what my parents spent on this, this should've had better specs
