Dartel Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi I have recently purchased a used ASUS G75VW with Nvidia GTX 660M. GPU-z reports PCI-E 2.0X16@X16 2.0other utility reported PCI-E 3.0x16@x16 2.0. There is definately some performance issue.Any help much appreciated. Also the keyboard backlite does not work but I am not too concerned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerpc Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Try updating the bois on the asus website for the laptop or download the newest driver from nvidia for the video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnvoyEngineer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Don't flash your bios unless you have to. One small mistake and you have a bricked mobo. Try the lastest nvidia drivers and see if that helps. Even try the beta drivers if the WHQL drivers don't. Beta drivers just mean that they haven't sent them to Microsoft to be "Approved."

EnvoyEngineer Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 oh and for the backlight keyboard make sure that you have the ATK and hotkey utilities drivers downloaded (ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download ATK_package) just go there select your OS and then install.

Djdouglas Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I had a ton of issues when I bought my G75 last year. It took almost a full year before most of the problems were fully worked out. For instance my touchpad has finally started working this past week reliably. I had major sound issues which required a couple new versions of drivers before most of the problems were resolved. Now I have an issue with the speakers and headphones working together or not working at all after a fresh install of Windows 7.My recommendation is to update your bios to the latest version. This will fix the issue with booting from sleep mode if you are running an older bios. Install a fresh copy of Windows and install drivers and utilities from scratch. Be sure to check the official ROG asus forum for the latest working audio driver. The Via chipset they used in this model was not the best but the latest driver seems to have fixed most of the sound issues. Other than the problems I had to sift through and fix I have been satisfied with Asus and even this model. I will be sticking with it for another year before I upgrade. I am hoping for a more advanced processor in the next one. Maybe someday we will get the hexacore without having to get a tombstone sized box.

arog Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 What kind of fps are you getting in games? I got the same gpu and if you game at 1080p the gtx660m takes a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berryman13 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm having similar issues with my G75-VW....I got it at the beginning of this year, not for gaming but rather development, running ubuntu inside of a VMware workstation with all other kinds of tasks going on in the host and guest OS...and lots of lag. It shouldn't be running as slow as it has been considering the specs, so I will go with your guys' suggestions, updating the GFX card drivers and the bios if possible before trying to overclock this badboy. Appreciate the support and I hope nobody minds me posting in this thread with the same issues as the OP, I figured it'd be better not to open a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterSe7en Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 hey OP, first make sure your laptop is plugged in with the original powercord, second, go into control panel and make sure your power options are set to high performance, if not it will clock down the cpu and pci express in order to save power, i have noticed that you have to set custom power profiles for things to work properly, after that i never had an issue, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
