6920G gaming issues

Hi everyone

I'm having problems playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 lately. When i first got the computer, it ran fine on high graphics settings and the highest resolution (1280x720). But in the past month or so it's started lagging all the time. It starts off fine but after after a few minutes it suddenly jumps and from then on it never recovers and just lags ridiculously and becomes unplayable, also load times for replays and sometimes menu changes can take up to a minute where normally it would only take a second.

I assumed it was a heating problem, so i opened it up and cleaned the fan and grills out and now have the laptop on a raised platform to allow better flow of air underneath it, it didn't change it at all.

Anyone got any ideas?

Also got the new Ghostbusters game and the same thing happens with that, it's pretty much unplayable from the start now.

Thanks

The 6920G has an acknowledged issue with the CPU's thermal throttling activating way too early, causing the slowdown you see (the GPU can't process frames at full speed if the CPU speed drops that drastically).
Download RMClock, and undervolt your CPU to extend your playing time before the throttling hits, and to remove it once it occurs.
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all permanent solution. Undervolting alone solves it for some people, but not all.

 

thanks for your response, i will download it now and try it.

i did search a bit but there's quite a lot of info in this section and most of what i read about throttling didn't seem to fit as when i first got the computer i could play Pro Evo for hours without this happening.

You need to download RightMark Clock (RMClock).

So far, this is the BEST solution and workable for almost everyone.
