yeah yeah lol. I just found it kinda weird and shady that they do that. I have never really owned a laptop so you can imagine my suprise when I find that its not even running close to the advertised speed, like whats going on haha. I have accepted it.....case closed *If I find any more info ill post it just for knowledge.
I don't see it as shady. They probably set a goal for power consumption and temperatures, achieved it, but didn't figure in situations like yours.
By default v-sync is double buffered and it will cap your frame rate to 30 if you can't maintain 60 fps. If you can't maintain 30 fps it will drop to 20 fps then 15 etc.
I have never seen that happening. The only time I saw it do anything was in The Vanishing of Ethan Carter where I was getting fps well over 60 but with tearing while turning. I turned on Vsync and it capped the framerate at 60. When I have tried it when the framerate was 40-50, it has done nothing. I leave it off as a matter of course however. I always have read that if you turn it on, you should also turn on triple buffering.
Why not? If they advertise 1.7ghz, I expect 1.7ghz, not 1.16 ghz when I need it the most and then 2.7ghz (turbo) when im sitting on the windows desktop typing in a forum chat box....i dont need that much power right now, I need it when computer needs it, in my case some light gaming that could be much better.
