psu on laptops

[CelestialBlade]

I have no idea why but PSU just seems to run much worse on laptops.

I run PSU on mine all the time. I have to put it on the lowest setting (except Frameskip 0 and far clipping) but the framerate stays consistently high.

Dell Latitude d830
Core 2 Duo T7250
2GB RAM
7200RPM Harddrive
Quadro NVS 140M Videocard
XP Pro SP2

My laptop Runs fine at 800x600 resolution. Any higher and it goes to shit. If you don't mind frameskip 1 keeps your framerate high in the most graphic intensive situations.

Dell inspiron 6000 (about 3 years old)
2Ghz Intel Centrino
2GB of Ram
7200RPM Harddrive
ATI Mobility x300 128mb
Windows XP

Mine actually runs totally fine at highest settings, but with frame skip 1 and 1024X768 (as opposed to my widescreen). And yes, it will run crappy as hell if you have vista without a top-o'-line laptop. Vista sucks, switch to XP, it literally doubled my framerate.

I run it on my laptop just fine, frameskip 0, highest settings, 1280x720 resolution. But then again, this is no normal laptop...

2Ghz AMD Turion TL-60
2 GB Ram
2x 200 GB 7200rpm HDDs
2x Nvidia 7950 GTX Go 512mb each (in SLI)
Windows XP

My vista laptop barely runs it at 640x480 though... (Lowest settings, frameskip 3 for it to run at a decent framerate).

2.2Ghz AMD Turion TL-62
2GB Ram
250GB 5400rpm HDD
Nvidia Go 6150M 128MB
Windows Vista

if your laptop was less than 1200 dollars you will probably have to run on FS 2

I run PSU on my laptop at college and graphically everything runs smooth and I don't have any problems. The real problem I have is shitty college internet that makes me DC all the time.

Interesting to see it run slow on pretty powerful laptops there. That Turion should smoke it, but it oddly doesn't. Strange on how a machine specced to literally run games like Guild Wars at 1280x800, with no speed issues, even at high detail and rather full lobbies, choke on this game. (Today's Macbook (not pro), running a windows session, could do that with lesser hardware than that for gaming)

On the other hand, if you have a laptop like the Gateway 6831fx, you'll run this game no problem. Then again, people use that to run stuff like Crysis. My guess is that this game seems to require a pretty hefty video card. Which is kind of true. This game manages to give desktops a bit of a strain even with a last gen videocard like a Geforce 7600 with 512MB of video ram.

AMD Athlon Mobile 64 (single core, 2.6 GHz)
1.5 GB RAM
128 MB ATI Mobility Radeon X600 Graphics Card

I run just fine (offline, mind you) at 1024x768 (PSU doesn't support my monitor's widescreen resolution, even if it were selectable, it keeps wanting to use some bizarre low-HD TV resolution (1280x720 or something like that, as opposed to 1280x800, the actual resolution of my monitor). Normal textures, anisotropic filtering, and post effects all on, detail level maxed, clipping set at medium range for everything (I think it looks better with enemies spawning just outside of eyesight anyway, so no big loss here), no shadow mapping, and frameskip 1.

The only times I ever get slowdown? Any area of Parum with lots of tall grass or those super-dense forest/hedge-maze things. Not even when berserk amounts of tech spammage from me, NPCs, and enemies all at once occurs. Only with friggin' Parum grass and hedge-forest-things.
