FPS Drops When Turning

Ok, here's my problem. on any map, any config and any graphic setting, Whenever I turn left+right my FPS would drop massively. example, I'll be standing still on delivery, 125 fps. but when I turn the slightest I get 60 fps and sometimes 50/40, and that's even when I look at a wall or on the floor when I turn, my Laptop specs:

Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) (9200.win8_gdr.130531-1504)

I also use PBPrior but that doesn't seem to help much, Also my laptop is kept cool so overheating can't be the problem

with 13-9 mobility catalyst, should I downgrade my catalyst?
Parent
-reduce polling rate to 250
-no need(unless AMD themselves detect flaw on driver)
-where it says "application settings" set them OFF or set to the minimum possible value
-at "surface format optimization" try OFF and see if helps

1) Try to play with an older version of ccc OR vid driver
Also in your CCC put everything to Performance.
And download: Razer Game booster
Still any problems? Answer 2 and 3

2) Is it on Jaymod as well?

3) Used a new cfg by any chance?
It happens on all mods m8, any config, didn't try razer booster and not sure if I should downgrade my graphics drivers because it was fine until some days ago.

Does your ping go up when you do it or only fps?

Because I had both 3months ago
My Ping is actually fine, it's only my FPS which drops when I turn, when I move forward it's fine too.

dude i have the same problem lately lol
I would check AMD drivers. Was fighting with simillar problem some time ago. Problem was latest beta drivers I use.
drop ur mouse hz to 500/250/125

? There's absolutely nothing wrong with the brand of my Laptop... Because I'm able to run games like oblivion and cod with 60+ FPS. so why ET only have this problem? Unless you can share some facts that my brand messes with the game ET. don't post any useless comments

I once bought a HP laptop and it made me so angry that I almost threw it against the wall. Instead I gave it to a friend of mine to use for watching porn. I think that laptop never left his room since then.

I had a IBM laptop when I started playing ET and I have one now. Best brand for laptops imo
Parent
ahaha made me laugh buddy :D

dont turn. problem solved.
Downgrade catalyst, should be fine.
switch your laptop power managemant from "energy saving" to "high performance", problem solved
try different render_method, with r_primitives "2"
Yea, thats it. Few latest amd driver versions made ET unplayable on r_primitives 0 and 1. Value 2 fix problem.
