-- update your graphics card

Yes, your graphic card sucks.

What do you expect from integrated graphics?

If you want to play such type of games, I suggest that you get a desktop with a proper graphics card.

I don't play that game, but as kenn3th suggests, use a graphics setting that is of a lower resolution

you might also want to try the tips in the sticky for speeding your computer

also, you might also want to close down unused programs running in the background.

finally, what is your laptop specs?

reduce the resolution and details in game.If the game runs well in SP, then the connection is the cause.

dibilo SG

if your graphics card has a controller, (go to display property> advanced) go to its options and slide the bar over towards performance and away from quality. edit: just checked... onboard graphics doesnt have this function... lol suck thumb... adjust your ingame options

Only 1% of the notebook sold in the market allows you to upgrade their graphics card
- Proprietary modular format - (mainly Dell Laptops)
- MXM (Mobile PCI EXpress Module) - http://www.mxm-upgrade.com/Table.html

Hi,

This is kind of off topic but i have to ask, for a desktop graphic card slot, how do I differentiate is mine is a PCI-E or the normal PCI?

BenBenDeZhu SG

check motherboard manual

Get a desktop PC for gamers.

simnatic a PCI-E slot is smaller then a normal PCI.

u only have 1 choice - add more system ram. the GPU ram will aso increase this way cos onboard GPI uses system ram. note that you'll bottleneck @ 3.25GB system ram even if you put in 4GB ram.

then tweak your GPU for performance instead of quality. try to reduce the visual effects your OS uses as well.
