svl7 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Are you sure you're running it from the Nvidia card and not from the Intel HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had that problem. Sometimes it's Nvidia Optimus messing up, but for me it was straight overheating. Once I cleaned the dust out of the fan it improved a lot. An external monitor also raised my fps, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashknani909 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 yes im pretty sure because i ran gpu-z to check the core clock of the nvidia and it was 969 and the memory clock was 1500 so yes it was the nvidia but i dont know what changed really this makes me feel sad ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lim Sheng Yang Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi There, I too had the same problem with my M14xr1. Every game slowed down to a halt. After doing several checks, I decided to follow this guide: Alienware M14x Disassembly/Teardown and Upgrade Guide! and discovered my entire vent is stuck by a stupid layer of dust. After removing, I conveniently repasted my thermals. Now everything runs smooth as butter even with turbocharged on. I strongly recommend you to do the same if you have an R1 as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
