    Got a question, someone please help!

    Hey,
    I wanna ask some questions about my new PC.


    1. In the BIOS I can see my SSD and HDD and Optical Drive, but when I can choose boot options, I only have the HDD and Optical Drive, and it still boots with SSD (I have it installed there) but in "My Computer" I can only see the SSD, no HDD, I Googled and people say that I should format the drive by right-clicking then clicking format, but I don't have that option available so how can I get thee HDD to show on "My Computer" and why is the SSD not showing up in BIOS boot options?

    So it's in the BIOS but not on Windows? If it appears in the BIOS, then everything is working correctly as it should, just Windows hasn't set a drive letter to it.

    Start
    > Right click 'Computer'
    > Click 'Manage'
    > Find 'Disk Management' on the left list
    > Find the SSD
    > Right click it and press 'drive letter and paths'
    > Add a drive letter to it, I recommend as closest to the beginning of the Alphabet as possible.
    > Press 'ok', close it and then go to My Computer to see if it appears.

    Do you have an idea 'bout my other problem?
    And is't normal to get 15-20fps on RS at W2 G.E (with HD7950)

    Seems pretty low for GFX model that high.

    Updated Java?

    Updated your graphics drivers?

    make sure you have it setup to run internet explorer on your gfx card and not your integrated solution.

    If your moniter is plugged into your graphics card and not your mother board it will be running off your gpu. If you want you can go into device manager and and go to display controllers and right click -> disable the integrated one.

    Also, runescape is mostly cpu dependent, your graphics card will have very little effect on runeacapes performance.

    Yours should look something like this except it should have your 7950 listed and the intel 4000 graphics.

    RuneScape caps out at 50 fps, also for what it's worth i just logged into w2 ge with my 3570k @ 4.3 ghz and gtx 670 and was getting about the same fps as you. There is probably nothing you can do to fix that.

    Not all computers have an integrated GPU bear in mind. For example mine doesn't. 50 FPS is the highest RS can go, if that's what you're hitting, then you've maxed it and your computer is working fine.

    ?
    i7 3770k has intel graphics 4000 integrated graphics.
    G/e lower fps is just because it's busy, Jagex fault the can't optimize their game.

    I recently fixed an old computer and with a 128mb videocard it can still run rs on fixed mode 30 FPS at medium graphics on OpenGL mode. But on my actual PC my results aren't that much better while it is more than 10 times as good.

    it's most likely disabled in the bios

    Edit:

    30 fps world 2 ge

    i7 3770k 4.8ghz
    msi gtx 680 lightning 1385mhz
    highest settings possible including 4x anti aliasing, 1920x1080 fullscreen

    The game is just poorly optimized.. but I did notice one thing you can change to get better fps. (other than keeping your drivers up to date) Just disable idle animations and your fps will always be 50.
