Satellite L870-16C -display problems with some games

Hi,
I've bought this laptop recently and it turned out that i have tearing problems with some games.
But really not with all games, just some of them (ex: the witcher, borderlands, trine...).
So i was wondering what the problem could be?
So far, i've heard it could be a v-sync problem, but everything i've done regarding this didn't change a thing.
Is it just a software issue or could it be a hardware problem with the graphic card?
I'm considering sending back my laptop to Toshiba, so i wanted to know if this was the only solution (and if it was a solution indeed).
For information, it's a L870-16C with a ati radeon HD 7670m graphic card (driver version: 12.10-130101a-151427E-ATI), operating on windows 8 64 bit.
Does anyone have some clues?
thanks

What game problems do you have exactly?
Could you be more precise?
You said that you have some problems but NOT with all games.
Therefore I dont think that you have an hardware problem
In most cases (any) games issues are related to graphic card drivers in my long gaming experience, all issues which I had in the past were related to compatibility problems between driver and game.

  • Driver problem with some games?

    Yeah, I'm aware the Macbook (black) isn't a gaming computer by ANY means. The problem is (or might be) a lot simpler to fix than all those video card problems. ATI isn't meant for gaming, but I can run X-Plane 9 perfectly fine. It runs very well on my Macbook, even with multiplayer, but I'm having a small problem with the trees. The only way I can make it enjoyable is to disable the trees, which I don't want. The trees spas out and it looks like there is a laser war going on across the landscape, with flickering textures and all. It's chaotic and VERY annoying. It may not seem important to you, but to a flight enthusiast like myself, bush flying is half the fun! Here's some screenshots:

    Two of these are with the trees, one is without.
    Is there something I'm missing like a driver update? Or is this just not an option on my Macbook?
    Thanks in advance.
    Other info: OS X 10.5.6

    There are no separate driver updates. Any driver updates would be included with updated system software.
    You might try the games at lower resolutions to improve frame rates.

  • Strange problem with some specific games (that should be compatible)

    Hello everyone.
    Got myself an Iphone 4 on day one: it's my first apple product and I'm really happy with it (I'm comming from the windows mobile world/****).
    But I soon discovered a strange compatibility problem that only happens with some games, even after they got ios4 updates (and those games are working on friends iphones 4).
    I thought it could be a software issue so I tried to restore my phone, then re-sync it, but still having the same issues
    Problematic games are Worms, Chaos rings, Texting of the bread and Cro-Mag Rally.
    When launching Worms, only a quarter of the screen shows up, with messy graphics.
    For the other 3, I can enter menus, everything seems fine until the actual game launches, wich gives me the same results as the one described for T17's Worms: only a small portion of the screen shows up, flikering with messy pixeled graphics.
    I'm starting to wonder if this could be a hardware issue, even though tones of games are working perfectly (including 3d heavy ones like Epic citadel or Archetype)
    Any help would be greatly apreciated!

    Sounds like those games are corrupted. Delete them on your phone, then delete them in itunes, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Then sync your phone to insure that all traces are removed from your phone. Then re-download them in itunes(you can re-download purchased apps for free), sync them back to your phone. See if this fixes things.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

    Okay, so here's a question from a new to mac guy. Many issues on old PC with real player and Media Player not getting along. Eventually had to delete real player and had to reinstall windows. I would like to avoid third party software if possible and stick with Quicktime. How do I install the mime plug in without installing Real Player?

  • Display problems with Kwin on intel hardware

    Hi all,
    Since the latest update of xorg and intel drivers, I have a display problem with kwin's expose-like feature. Before I file a bug,
    - Is anyone experiencing the same problem? Do you have a workaround?
    - Does anyone know what could be at fault?

BTW, could you also try Ctrl+F11 and rotate the cube for a while? You should notice some flashes and very bad performance, even with direct rendering.
    I will, and I hope you'll contribute your logs to the bug report! The question is where to submit it: I'm pretty sure the bug is upstream, but is it a kwin bug or an xorg/intel bug?
    Ctrl+F11 works "fine" on my system, even though it crashed kwin the first time I tried it :-)
    Well, that's a very tough question! I was thinking to fill a bug report in Arch's bugtracker, although I also think it is an upstream bug. Problem is, after reading this http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2 … paces-4-5/ and this http://www.itnewstoday.com/?p=1803, one can realize the absolute *Mes(s)a * that dominates the whole graphics stack....

  • Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display.  The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom.  And the left side of the content is not visible.  I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct.  I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available.  When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart...  The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7.  The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion.  I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

    That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
    The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

    iTunes Store menu > View My Account...
    Sign in and select "See All" in Purchase History.
    You can only see them in "batches" of ten. As far as I know there is no way to obtain a comprehensive summary.
    The prices are tabulated in that list. If they were supposed to be free, and they show that you were charged, then click the arrow next to the suspect purchases and click "report a problem".
