screen flickering with cuts like thing in game (League of legends)

[maxim123]

Ok, I got the model. Now downloading the driver pack from the metabox site. will uninstall and reinstall the drivers and check.

Hi, it seems like the problem is with Nvidia. when it is uninstalled, there is no flickering or tearing effects in the game. But when it is installed (even from the manufacturer’s site), there is the tearing effect.
What are the options available for me? Is it really an issue with the graphics card?

[maxim123]

with just intel graphics card, the fps drops to below 60 it seems. Is there a way I can fix the tearing issue from the nvidia graphics card? or do I have to leave it uninstalled?

Next time please test for a while then post once.

Go to the laptops manufacture site and download an older version of the display drivers.

Have you checked with the game manufacture and or their support site to see if other are seeing issue and have posted corrections. You may have a setting incorrect in the options for display and or game.

With most portable system the RAM is shared with the display cards.

With out know the complete make and model all we can do is guess.

Unfortunately, there are no older drivers listed in the manufacturer site.
Metabox Driver Downloads this is the site. my model is Alpha N850EP. I installed through the Driver Pack from the list.

It seems like this tearing effect is present in other games as well in my laptop. I tried in 2 other games, and there is tearing effect in them too, so not a setting wrong in game it seems.

With most portable system the RAM is shared with the display cards.

With out know the complete make and model all we can do is guess.

is it one of these?

Let’s get a better image of the system using the speccy report.

[COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)]Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

Other may have more to state on this what I see right now that needs to be corrected.

One issue I can see it the RAM.

16.0GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1197MHz (16-16-16-39)
Physical Memory
Memory Usage: 71 %
Total Physical: 16 GB
Available Physical: 4.50 GB
Total Virtual: 18 GB
Available Virtual: 2.17 GB

16 GB is good unfraternally you have a single stick working at half the rate it is capable of.

You need to get a matching stick of RAM so that you get dual channel single channel RAM bottlenecks both the CPU and GPU, note the way that nearly all of your RAM has been used up.

Next is
Power Profile
Active power scheme: Balanced

Gaming type notebooks that have a discrete GPU must have the High Performance setting else the GPU will not get the extra power to be able to function and the notebook will revert back to using the onboard video, this also the reason why gaming notebooks have to be powered from the wall socket via the AC adaptor.

Next is
Partition 1
Partition ID: Disk #0, Partition #1
Disk Letter: C:
File System: NTFS
Volume Serial Number: A29F7E82
Size: 222 GB
Used Space: 156 GB (70%)
Free Space: 65 GB (30%)

To small of a partition for windows and is getting to full.

This is because Windows requires on average 30% to 35% free space including 32 GB free space for updates, 7-10 GB reserved for future proofing on the C drive.

This is not including and limited to what the system uses for backups, swap page and hibernate files.

Have been seeing some issues with gamins when you put IP addresses in.
Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller
IP Address: 192.168.101.7
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway server: 192.168.101.1
DHCP: 192.168.101.1
DNS Server: 192.168.101.1
8.8.8.8
4.4.4.4

• so, what I can do now is for Ram, I should get another 16 gb RAM to use both slots and this then will be better? the memory usage most of the times is around 46%.
• for power, the laptop is directly run with wall socket and not battery.
• for windows drive, I can make sure it is 40%+ free.
• not sure about ip address issue cause they are changed by ISP. and the graphic flickering issue is in offline games as well.

I am also going to go change thermal paste, just to see if it can help in something.

[Rustys]

Let us know how things go.

Test it for a while and post new speccy and maybe a minitoolbox

@maxim123 - any news?

@maxim123 - any news?

Hi, I decided to buy a new laptop. I went to the store and had them install another 16gb ram and checked it there to see if the issue would go away, but it is still there, so didn’t buy it.
I will make a topic in relevant section about which laptop to buy according to my budget, so you can close this thread.
Thank you @Rustys for the help
