    Hello !

    Am i the only one who is experiencing performance loss on League of Legends this days ?

    I use to play with not the last nvidia drivers on dell, the one that came before don't remember the number.

    To improve performance, i made an alienrespawn factory settings, and try to play again ... Woah ! I use to play at average 55-60 FPS nearly everything maxed, and now, i was about 25 -40 ...

    I installed the latest drivers from dell ( 263.08 ) and i have much more fps, but still ... It's far away from when i use to play months ago !

    So, here'"s the question : did other M11X R1 user are experiencing performance loss theses days ? Maybe due to recent lol updates, dunno ...


    ( BTW , if i play Street fighter 4 for exemple , everything max i'm around 55-60 fps all time , REALLY smooth compared to lol )

    Thanks for your answer Kiwidaniel, but you have a core i7 640UM, wich is not an R1 ( i have an SU7300, bios overclocked 1.73 , 4Gb ram, original HDD)

    The lags looks strange,i mean it's an FPS drop, but it always show something like 45 fps, which should looks smooth. But it seems like the game is slow down, especially compared to my desktop ( wich is way more powerfull, but i was use to play on both, and i was never shocked by this lag difference before )

    I have been testing with the last drivers. With everything maxed out except for the shadows which i set on medium makes the game go 60fps most of the time but when comes to teamfights and such drops to 45fps. I didnt notice any change of performance. By the way i have an m11x r2 with an i5 and did the test without oc.

    For the record I've been seeing some really, and I mean REALLY, odd bugs graphically since the last patch. I had my frame rate drop down to 12, from 55, when one of the ancient golem's minions started shooting a fire wave across the bloody map. The thing was I couldn't always see the fire wave but the random drop of fps was always the same. Also once saw a turret shoot a missile instead of an energy ball, really seems to me like some of the dominion stuff may have messed up the regular game.

    The frame rate makes no odds to me I get about 280 but I usually play with a mate and cousing over Skype. Neither are on good machines but usually get 30fps or so and lately getting 20 or less at times. The only thing I can think to have changed must have been the last patch which had Talon and some parts towards dominion

    Also it may be due to some heroes, a lot of the AOE's are causing some huge fps drops atm. Karthus and Casseopia are banned right now because they can cause some cards to crash/near crash when some of their abilities trigger from what I have heard.

    I've been reloading from factory a fair bit lately and then doing all the latest patches.. To me the game runs decent speed >30fps no matter what.. Sure when everything is happening it hiccups a bit, but not enough to ruin the game for more than a half second?

    That said, I wouldn't mind hearing about a way to make it faster! ;)

    Ahahah already saw this twice, so much loulz.


    It seems like some graphical options make the games run smoother ... When values are higher :eek:


    I installed Evga precision for better fps showing, i got an average of 48, no shadows but other options on High :confused:


    Anyway, 45-48 is playable even with framedrop on team fight, but hell it's not 60 ..
