Lagging while using HD

[The_Fray]

Hi I just bought a new computer and I thought that I should be able to HD smoothly and without any difficulties but I seem to lag when my character is at crowded areas.

 

 

 

Here are some details of my computer:

 

 

 

Manufacturer: Toshiba

 

Model: Notebook

 

Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo Cpu T6400 @ 2.00GHz

 

Memory: 4GB

 

System Type: 64 Bit Operating System

It could be that you're pushing your machine's limits when you go into a crowd. What's your graphics card?

[Dracion1]

Graphics card will be a big limiting factor. It sounds like you got one which has an intel integrated chipset which is very low powered. It'll struggle if you have all settings on high and when you enter large crowds.

[The_Fray]

I think the Graphics Card is: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500MHD.

 

 

 

It is really a shame that I cannot play HD properly on this computer, I spent a lot on it.

Do not worry, I lag like a Broken Windows 98 when I get near the GE, and I have a NVIDIA 7600 GE or GT or something. It is quite a powerhorse, but I think it is Java trying to display everyone.

@OP: Your video card is too weak. It may have been a bright idea to actually check up on the specs before you bought it, or ask someone else if you didn't know what they are. Too late now.

Not exactly I still have a week and a half to return it, not quite sure if I should.

If you want to play any games at all you should.

The words of a genius.

My question then is will it cost me a lot more than what I paid for this one? I paid $1156 CAD (Approximately $935 American) for this one, which includes 13% tax, 2 year extended warranty. If you want more details I can always give you the product description available online.

[Dracion1]

Depends where you get it from. I've seen some very good laptops capable of running newer games on medium-near high settings on newegg for about US$1000 ish. This is often a lot cheaper than going straight to the manufacturer.

 

 

 

If you just want something that'll run RSHD however, you won't need to spend that much, about US$700 would probably do.

There alot of options, here are a couple of intresting products from Newegg (Canada):

 

The MSI one, i think is the most bang for the buck.

 

If you want to save money, the Asus for 900$ will still be able to play RS with no problem.

I paid $1,100USD for mine (Got at best buy) and my laptop can run crysis @ all highs. I would return it and shop around, possibly just order from newegg.
