Several solutions may be necessary, not only tuning the OS, drivers, network, but also the games. Northforge, often it is a multi-faceted solution, and if you run from nn HDD, you will experience additional/only lag from that. Still will not rule out an attempt of this. That doesn't sound like what I'm experiencing. Does it not worry anyone that 3rd party software/firmware is required in order to make games playable on a gaming laptop? I read up on QuietHDD when mentioned by hmscott but didn't try it. I recieved a PM from hmscott with several pieces of advice which included several things I have already tried, and a few that I had not. Uninstalled Intel Processor Diagnostic tool
Dragon nest installer checking update#
Uninstalled Intel Driver Update utility Uninstalled OneDrive (disabled all settings) Did not see any hitching or other problems.*

Swapped game install directories across D, E, and F drives. Set High Performance power settings properly.

Updated every relative intel component updates. Ran windows updates until I was blue in the face. (per laptop) to end horrific performance and to get it to function as intended. It should not take over 100 hours of config/testing/googling/Q&A/techsupport/livechats/etc. G74SX 560M 3GB (3 years old) DOMINATES over the G751 980M 4GB. Since Asus and NVidia can't identify cause or provide solution, this time I'm just returning this laptop. Searched ROG forums, Searched Asus forums, Searched NVidia forums, Tested various GPU drivers, Spoke with Asus livechat, Spoke with NVidia livechat, exchanged laptops at vendor (Canada Computers), exact same problem persists. Nope! Once this laptop runs unmodded Skyrim at 1024x768 stable with no hitching, I'll try overclocking. Drops 1 fps and a heavy chug occurs but then goes up two fames, and then back down one fps.

Gaming hangs on the same frame and then resumes but doesn't display the expected flow and animations. Tested: unmodded Skyrim, Aion, Star Citizen, Borderlands 2, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Hawken.

Hitching/Stuttering (plugged in) in both online and offline games. Tested: unmodded Skyrim, Champions Online, Aion, Star Citizen, Borderlands 2Įxchanged for another G751JY-DH73 on March 4th. Hitching/Stuttering (plugged in) in both online and offline games, every game, steam and non-steam games, SSD and Non-SSD game install locations. Picked up a G751JY-DH73 on February 24th.
