Intel HD4000 games very slow. Windows 8 Sony Vaio SVE1713CCXB

[OBude]

Hello

I have problem with very slow performance , i think that's a very common problem. I've read some topics and there is a suggestion to move to earlier drivers (15.26.12) though i cannot install them as it is said that my PC does not meet the requirements. Is there any other solution to this problem ?

Here it is my DXDiag link on pastebin (text long to paste) also it is attached to this message : http://pastebin.com/Ny5CH4va http://pastebin.com/Ny5CH4va

Thanks in advance.

I am sorry to hear that have had problems updating Intel Graphics Driver.

That message indicates that your computer manufacturer does not allow the installation of generic Intel video drives. You are required to install drivers from your computer manufacturer; however, you may try forcing the installation of Intel generic drivers by performing manual procedure, see here for instructions:

http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm

Please try to install the driver when it finishes downloading, to verify that your system will accept it.

Actually i installed latest drivers from Intel website - its all fine.

Though i cannot isntall these specific drivers.

Is there any other solution to my problem ?

I get about 2-3 FPS at FurMark with 1920x1080....

Though GPU-Z says GPU is working on 1150 mhz.

Maybe i should try windows 7 ?

[Allan_J_Intel1]

I am glad to hear that all is fine. Sometimes you are unable to install generic Intel drivers because the computer maker locked installations of generic drivers.

Allan , actually i was able to install drivers , but still i got very very slow performance in FurMark... average 5 FPS at 1920x1080 without AA. I don't think that is normal behavior.

[Allan_J_Intel1]

Thanks for pointing out this matter. I have run same FurMark software and I got same results. I believe these markings are set as default by the programmers of the software. I would recommend checking with them for further information on their readings.

Please test graphics portion of the processor by running processor diagnostic tool, this will test graphics as well.

Thanks, Allan , the test passed OK , all temperatures fine , everything passed.

Please take a look at this : http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/14/03/05/bys.png http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/14/03/05/bys.png , as you see this is graph of frequency of GPU , it jumps from 350 to 1150 every 1-2 seconds. The game is exactly like that. 1-2 seconds it runs smooth , 1-2 seconds it is slow motion. Is there a way to force GPU to work at 1150 in games ? Not switching to 350 when it desires ?

Also you can see that GPU load is constant 100% , though it still jumps from 350 to 1150....

Thanks !

Please bear in mind that you have an on-board graphics controller, and by itself does not provide features to change speed of the graphics controller, unless your computer manufacturer provides BIOS settings that you can manage.

Allan.

[OBude]

Of course it does not allow me to change anything, Bios is almost "empty".

So let me make a conclusion of this - Turbo Boost technology working incorrectly on my notebook. On constant GPU load it does not set the GPU frequency on max amount , it constantly "jumps" producing occasional lags in any application which needs more than 350 mhz.

There is no solution for this problem.

Everything is correct here ?

[Allan_J_Intel1]

Turbo boost increases processor speed dynamically, it does not increase graphics core speed. You need to check with Sony for any BIOS that may help with graphics dynamic frequency.

Allan.

[OBude]

Allan, thanks for information provided.

So as i understand dynamic frequency of GPU can be affected only from BIOS , it cannot be affected by Turboboost technology or GPU drivers ?

Thanks.

[Allan_J_Intel1]

Yes, dynamic frequency is affected only at BIOS level. The technology to accelerate processor speed is managed by Turbo boost.
