Is anyone else having problems with graphic settings?

I'm currently running a laptop with the i7-3630qm, 8gb ddr3 - 1600mhz RAM and the NVIDIA GTX 675MX. This thing is brand spanking new. I run both Skyrim and Guild Wars 2 on the max settings possible flawlessly. When I got on Neverwinter for the third Beta week, the settings that were recommended for my system were between low - medium. I would've thought I should at least be able to get High settings off that setup, if not Max settings.

Note my Desktop (yes I realize the desktop will naturally be more powerful) has the i7-2600, 8gb ddr3 - 1333mhz RAM and an ATI 6770. It runs Neverwinter on max settings like a charm.

Anyone have any ideas as to why my recommended settings for Neverwinter are so low on the laptop?

    It's recommending low-medium because it's a Mobile CPU and GPU, and is recommending those settings likely so your battery doesn't die too quickly or to try and prevent overheating. I say go ahead and give it a shot at max settings and go from there. I generally ignore the "Recommended" settings anyhow.

    I don't have problem at my side.
    My MSI laptop is not at max, but close. It was recommended medium by the system but I set it higher after few config tries.
    1 year old laptop that I got last year for my study, the spec is almost like yours, but lower.
    Well, you might wanna check on laptop setting

    Thanks for the input guys. I have tried it on every setting thus far. Minimum and Low let me run completely smoothly. Once I hit medium and up, it just lags more and more. Oh well, I'll be on my desktop most of the time anyways. Thanks again for the help.

    Might be the game is using your onboard graphics card and not the NVIDIA GTX 675MX. A few other laptop users have had this problem.
    THIS IS CLERIC AGGRO IN BW3

    Hello everybody!

    I need some help and advice about some serious graphic issues I'm experimenting on my laptop. It's a little bit old and I'm able to play the game on low settings but... all the character textures are missing! I see my own character and everyone elses completely pink! Also any other NPC's... Right at the beginning, when the game is loading, a grey bar on the bottom of the screen starts reporting PIXEL COMPILATION FAILURE and stuff like that. Funny thing is that hair and eyes are visible...

    What can I do? Graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 1200 Series

    Thanks
