| Msi Laptop performance decrease
MSI GT683
CPU: Intel Core i5-2410m 2.3GHz
Nvidia GTX 560M / 1.5GB GDDR5
6GB Ram
Just recently I have reinstalled windows 7 back on my laptop and all its original drivers. I have noticed a huge performance decrease. Playing games like Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark and Sniper Elite 3 and Counter Strike Global offensive. I get huge frame drops playing on the lowest settings. I am planning to remove dust from the laptop. Any other options?

May sound dumb but are you sure you installed the original drivers and update them?

after a fresh windows install i go to device mgr to see which driver needs updating with the ! sign.
Then I usually update the video card driver....make sure you get the latest on nvidia's website and not the ones on CD

Probably running off your integrated graphics.

sometimes the up-to-date video card drivers fuck things up. i usually stick to with what worked before.

As long as the preferred graphics processor is set to your NVIDIA card by default it should be fine from now on. It's a very common issue on certain laptops.
If it still does it on certain games, just make sure you set a profile for it.
