R61 graphics performance problem (x3100)

[JKK]

Hello,

I searched but couldn't find my answer : With that graphic chip, you're supposed to be able to play old games quite well or even very well;

For example the famous Source games. But for me, it's not. I'm far, very far from the result people show on youtube with Core2Duo+X3100.

And i mean even with Intel drivers, not already the modded one! So i'm wondering if the 3 serie have inside them a CHEAP X3100 or what..?

I tried all i could, checked performance in power manager, bios options, etc... So i hope someone will be able to tell me if i have a failure or else...

Thanks

R61 X3100 GPU is the very same as T61 X3100 GPU, not some cheapo version.
Check the OS on those Youtube movies, is it XP, Vista, W7, a Linux flavor?
Probably they use a different OS from you.

Have you installed and run Lenovo's SystemUpdate 4.0 for W7?

I didn't, i just checked driver page. Now i did, so what do you want to know?

I'm not seeing anything related to graphics. Nobody's having a R61 X3100 here?

Just download the Intel graphics driver straight from Intel. Works fine.

I played through Doom3 on an overheating (clogged fans) X61.

I have a T61/X3100 with Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) installed.
Running like a champ, but I never play anything on it.
For things like that I got a desktop.

Ok, i have that game, so i'm gonna install it and test, i'll come back and tell you what i get!

What's your settings on Doom 3 and what's your average FPS?
