    Laptop no longer recognizes GPU

    I solved the FPS problem too. I fixed it. Apparently my power settings had been changed to Power Saver. When I switched it to Balanced the FPS shot right back up where it belongs. Phew!

    Laptop no longer recognizes GPU

    I got it to recognize the GPU again. Yay! The frame rate problem is back though too. I'm reluctant to mess around with this much more now though. Any thoughts on how to fix the FPS problem?

    Thank you both for your answers. :) Especially the really in depth comparison, raisonjohn. I had completely missed the fact that the Stealth lacks an DVD/ODD. Whoops!

    HI all, this is my first time posting here... hello! I've seen several threads like this so I hope it's okay to post one more. Later this week I am going to be buying a new laptop and I'm trying to decide on which one specifically. Currently I've narrowed down my choices to three, but now I'm...
