    Out of nowhere Dell sent out another technician without letting me know.

    I made it clear that I can't pick up a phone and to have them send the keyboard instead, they still don't listen, too bad I'm past the return period, can't really be bothered to deal with this crap.

    GPU was active, according to GPU-Z.

    I'm getting 827 in 3dMark 11, while the Intel shared graphics apparently run around 1200-1300. That's pretty disappointing. I've also never heard or felt the GPU fan blowing any more air than it does at idle, while the CPU spools up like crazy. It's not running hot, though, so I don't think it's throttling that hard...

    Anyway, it's great at work (I'm currently running a VM of our mail server to test some modifications), but 15 FPS in a game like League of Legends at minimum detail? Not really usable for my only machine.

    Hi Forge 64!
    I did not find the option you was talking about. Can you post a pic or explain how to find it? Thanks!

    OK, just ran 3DMark11, and got:

    Score P3298 with AMD Radeon HD 8870M(1x) and Intel Core i7-4700MQ

    Graphics Score 2979

    Physics Score 7509

    Combined Score 3186

    so bang on my estimate of around 3000.

    Sounds like you need to do a driver cleanup, download the latest drivers from Dell, and re-install.

    PC Mark Vantage 1.2 (a much smaller download than the current version):
    PCMark Vantage:
    18481 with AMD Radeon HD 8870M(1x) and Intel Core i7-4700MQ

    3DMark 1.2.362 (latest version):
    Fire Strike 1.1
    Score 2209 with AMD Radeon HD 8870M(1x) and Intel Core i7-4700MQ
    Graphics Score 2312, Physics Score 9018, Combined Score 896

    Cloud Gate 1.1
    Score 12180
    Graphics Score 16245, Physics Score 6494

    Ice Storm 1.2
    Score 76480
    Graphics Score 98263, Physics Score 43066
