Very slow choppy graphics

April 28, 2009 3:37 PM from

I have done all the things recommended to speed up the game. Dropped graphic quality, put /nosound in the target line, updated all my drivers, etc. Please someone help me I want to play the game.

Here is my startup log and dxdiag txt

Your performance issues are most likely due to the onboard graphics of your laptop. Such nForce chipsets are actually considerably weaker than the Geforce 6800 which is the bare minimum. The game really needs a deidcated video card/chipset to run playably.

So does that mean I cant play the game at all? If so can I get a refund?

Well tbh that gfx is going to give you problems whatever game you play. Upgrade the card is the better way - but if that is not an option refund is yoru only option

Laptop video can't typically be upgraded. Unfortunately age doesn't mean much, as only the highest-end laptops are generally equipped to really deal with games.

Put your computer on High proformance for the batery then max your fans out.....run reg cleaners defrag hard drive turn off not nessicary programs anything to free up prossesor power. other then that you really cant to much. There are ways to overclock your gpu but in your case it wont be nessisary. You can get a new lap top for 700 USD now that runs almost anything 9800M GS is the standered cheep card that can run this game really well. but there really is not alot you can do about your hardware.
