    Hello guys,

    I own a m15x with 8gb ram, core i7 Q740, gtx 260m. The thing is iam getting very weird lines while iam playing, specially League of Legends, i have tried all the video configurations. And suprise to me as that i get even more of that lines when i set the game to lower details, the problem is if i set it to very high, it lags and i get some fps drops.
    I checked the temperatures and they go from 60 to 70 celcius max. I have installed the lates drivers from nvidia.

    Here is a video i took with my cel phone, there you can see what i mean

    Does it happen on an external monitor?

    That seems to be an issue with your video card. Did you update the Driver by any chance?
