When I'm playing Dead space 2 Im getting a very low FPS on the low graphical settings, ranging from 10-20 when the monsters are around and 20-30 when it's quiet.

As you can see my laptop easily passes the minimum requirements, and I have nothing running in the background which will hog resources,
so whats going on?
Seems like its' being throttled as it's a laptop. Either that or the video card lacks.
Well all other games can be run fine, I can run Metro2033 on medium, but not dead space 2 on low when the website tells me I have easily passed the minimum standards.

Is all of this standard for my card? because I have a feeling that somethings not quite right about it

It's a mobile card so it's considerably worse than its desktop counterpart but since Metro runs, I'm at a loss. Updated drivers to 11.7?
Iv'e just updated, I can run it no problems on very high now!
Thanks :)
Didn't think that'd work based on your problems but hey, if it works don't question it. :v:
And now after restarting my Pc I can run it on low fine, I'll just count my losses
[editline]3rd August 2011[/editline]
And now it runs on medium with over 30 fps, I wish my pc would make its mind up!
Anyway, thanks again.

[editline]3rd August 2011[/editline]
And very high with 40+fps, I hope all my problems are solved now.
Set your laptop/GPU to any "High Performance" modes it may have.
I have 2 GPUs, and ive always made sure its set to the performance one
[QUOTE=hoot37;31514512]I have 2 GPUs, and ive always made sure its set to the performance one[/QUOTE]Umm, no.
[QUOTE=ClaBrendon;31515298]Umm, no.[/QUOTE]
Sorry?
Like most laptops there is an intergrated and a dedicated GPU which can be switched between using a button on the laptop itself or theres an option somewhere.

nVidia has it too >_>. it's hybrid graphics switching.

"2.1 GHz Performance Rated at: 4.2GHz" :v:
[QUOTE=VLC;31516938]"2.1 GHz Performance Rated at: 4.2GHz" :v:[/QUOTE]That just proves my earlier point.

I'd be amazed if a laptop reached 4.2ghz without melting the laptop itself.
[QUOTE=ClaBrendon;31516150]Never heard of that.[/QUOTE]
Optimus technology.
It stwiches between the Intel HD graphics and the Nvidia graphics in order to save some battery life

Quit your bitching please, thats all youv'e been doing!

No, it just gives people an idea on what to expect.
if your laptop isn't plugged in it downclocks everything to conserve battery life
don't play games on battery
[QUOTE=hoot37;31532030]No, it just gives people an idea on what to expect.[/QUOTE]Umm no, it's completely wrong. Specially when it says 4.2ghz total cpu power. I mean really?

Although Ive set it not to do this, I always play when plugged in.
