GTX 980M Laptop.

Greeting FGunZ tech kiddies.

Today I've received my new laptop, this being said I wanted to see what maximum FPS I could obtain in GunZ since it's equipped with a GTX 980M Graphic card..

Upon launching GunZ, I've ensured that I'm using the GTX 980M card over the Intel HD Graphics 530...

However in game I appear to only be getting a maximum of 600fps, regardless if I switch up in the resolution, archetype, low settings and so on.
It's almost capped at 600 Fps as it goes 599/600 Fps, If I limit it to 250 then it sticks at 249/250 like it should.

I've check my FPS with in game fps counter, FRAPS, Dxtory, all showing that I can only seem to get a maximum of 600 obviously this is more than enough for GunZ and especially since I can cap at 250 or 333 with no issues.

Anyone have any ideas as to why it will not go above 600 FPS?

Generic PnP Monitor (1920x1080@60Hz)
Intel HD Graphics 530
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M

switchable graphics cards can be a hassle, did you make sure both were upgraded?
how much RAM do you have?

i dont see why u need 600, let alone over, guess u want to see how high it can go
ot thou, U might want to check ur nvidia graphics settings and maybe check if some kinda 3rd party is not doing anything to the fps

RAM plays a big role in fps as well, the more RAM he has the more FPS he can process, regardless on whichever gfx card he has

I've opened my NVIDIA Control panel and regardless what I change / play with it doesn't appear to make any difference.

I've switched to my 'integrated card' and it still remains at 600FPS, so I'm not sure what's going on. Would I need to relaunch GunZ each time when switching between cards or wouldn't it make a difference.

Strange.

600 FPS @ 1920 x 1080
370 FPS @ 800 x 600
680 FPS @ 1360 x 768

Guessing it's something to do with my res settings? Just find it weird that 800 x 600 being much less that the other two is showing the least FPS.

Should try playing a other game in order to check if its a FPS-limit issue, or not

I'm gonna set up my steam and have a look, as it stands I have 60 fps in Blade and Soul which is maximum according to my settings.

It's obvious that your fps is locked.
What is your setting in BNS? Everything on max?

ik, but a certain amount of ram shouldnt limit the fps, especially at 600, an even number

ot; maybe theres some bottleneck between the cpu and gpu

i think it has been limited by the brand or maybe a power option. check your power options if its set for high performance

well thats what happen if you buy a gaming laptop instead of a desktop.

Wouldn't even know how to begin, I've opened my NVIDA Control panel, changed things to 'High Performance' etc.. Doesn't seem to make a difference.

Before purchasing the combination of i7 6400HQ Skylake CPU & GTX 980M, I asked if it would bottleneck and was told no by multiple people at the forums of that site bought from.

It must be as I have set the battery performance to high and play with the charger plugged in when gaming.

Doesn't really help does it? Reason for a laptop is because it's more compact and I frankly don't have the room for a gaming computer.

Done this already, it's set to High Performance, just can't seem to pull above 600 FPS, regardless if Archtype in enable or if every is on 'High', still remains 600FPS @ 1980 x 1020 Res.

Just installed COD 4 for nostalgia reasons, hit the online servers to play with people and pulling in a capped 91/89 FPS without any drops, appears to cap its self on that game too, could it be that the GFX card or Control Panel is determining the power as to what the GPU should run at for 'X' game/games.

If you already have smooth gameplay with everything on high why bother getting higher fps '-'?

Are there any battery related settings in GeForce Experience?
Also check the vsync settings and disable it.

Does Geforce experience by any chance use the ''game optimization'' options?

Also go into the control panel and turn of Vsync and any antialiasing options (especially in gunz since they seem to conflict with some geforce experience versions).

just don't use geforce experience...

OT:
i think your laptop brand limited the amount of fps with firmware you may need to google it.

I have it set to 'Maximum Performance', although it doesn't recognize 'GunZ' as a game so I don't think it applies the settings to it.
V Sync is disabled.

See above in regards to Geforce Experience.

It recognizes Call of Duty / CSGO / Blade and Soul.

COD - 91FPS locked - High
CSGO - 200 / 230 FPS - High
Blade and Soul - 60 FPS locked - High

Possibly although there is no firmware pre installed, it came with Windows 10 pre-installed as requested and that's all.

some brands limit the fps with firmware. firmware is not installed on a hard drive or ssd. it is like the bios. have you tried getting a game running above 600fps?

If I switch the resolution within Gunz to something slightly lower than 1980 x 1020 it'll goto 700 capped. However same again regardless if its in High settings or Archetype it remains steady fps locked. However if I go to the lowest resolutoon possible fps will only goto 400, so strange because lower the resolution youd expect higher fps

I know the GTX980m card is being used as geforce tells me that is and ive also set it up so everything runs through it.

Hello Notorious.

Graphic cards usually have 3 stages. Min-normal-max.
Since gunz is old game it might not use full power of your graphics card, so it might be stuck on medium setting.

Download Msi Afterburner.
Open it up and play gunz
Check if your gpu and cpu had 100% usage.

Also set gunz priority to real time.
