Hi guys, I'm trying to return back to FFXI and I can't get this laptop to run it at a decent FPS.
It's got 16GB DDR3 memory, 256GB SSD, i7 5500U 2.4GHz, 4GB Nvidia GTX 850m GPU running on Windows 8.1.
I downloaded GPU-z and it isn't showing any readings for GPU load on the 850m card, only the integrated card when running the game...
I have tried messing with Nvidias control center as directed (no changes), disabling the integrated chip from device manager (which won't let me launch the game at all) downloading separate drivers and uninstalling and reinstalling (no changes). This low FPS doesn't change if I run in Ashita, Windower, SE Windowed or SE full.
Anyone have some help here? I am still able to return the laptop for about a week longer, but it seems like the laptop is fine... Benchmark V3 was lower than I expected, around 14k low and 10k high. But I figure that would still be enough to have 30fps in most places. I'm getting 15fps in the character selection screen, about the same in Jeuno, and about 8 in Adoulin. Help please!
