Hi there

i know that recently you may have noticed that ive been having problems but their all sorted out know apart from one! On nfs the run i lagg so badly that it is unplayable. ive tried tweaking the settings and even changed it to using 1 monitor and on lowest possible settings but it still lags. i have been playing skyrim and saints row both on highest settings and saints on 3 monitors and it bearly challenges my pc so why does nfs lagg. ive also noticed that when i load skyrim or saints my pc gets louder and the fans speed up and on my keyboard it shows my pcs performance getting higher but when i launch nfs none of this happens. Could it be running of the integrated graphics or what?

Any advice would be helpful.

why would you have any intel products to update? CPUs can't have updates, these are only through the motherboard or OS

your motherboard updates will be on the ASUS website as well

Your system should be able to run that game while it's in sleep mode anyway on a more serious note have you checked on the forums for NFS to see if anyone else is having similar problems as i and many others had real fun when they released NFS-HP and most quad core CPU's would not run the game only dual core so the fix there was to mess about making the game only use 1 core untill they patched it but possibly it's the SLI you could try running a single card and see if it still does it.
