Re: PC: Low FPS, making game unplayable

NonyoBizness, Gorath may not be so utterly wrong as you may think.

The worst problem is the most laptop owner think they might have a gaming machine... they absolutely don't have - never ever.

No laptop is capable of performing well if the game demands power and lots of functions of the graphic unit. It is a sad truth and I always hear complaints from many laptop owners trying to play actual games (perfomance, crashes, lags)

This is because:

* laptops always lacking the ability to cool down the graphic card/housing efficently

* decreased pixel pipelines and shader functions on the mobile graphic cards built in narrow laptop housings

* not so well balanced drivers/game code due to not so broad or relevant customer base

3qfds may have all the problems at once. The model "650M" shows exactly that he has a low end 600-er series with a "M"obile modification. Even if this graphic card is virtually capable of bringing enough power for minimum requirements, heat and also missing core functions is slowing everything horribly down. More than a comparable GT 650 for desktop PC would usually would do.

Sorry, 3qfds, I can't give a solution for that other than not to rely on laptops for gaming.

Try to set every graphic settings to minimum. Try to update all relevant drivers. Hope that NVIDIA will deliver a proper driver soon. Hope that EA will fix there game code that it might run a little better with mobile graphic cards.

Having started playing electronic games on desktop computers before animation was adapted to that platform, 36 years ago, and having begun building computers slightly fewer years ago, in 1987 (27 years ago, I believe), my experience goes back farther than the age of the average participant here. The kibitizer is merely woefuly inexperienced.
