Kirbyallstar Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ever since the school year ended, I stopped pking in all BH +1 worlds. It is just far too laggy now on my laptop. Even during the school year, I only went to world 65 if there was around 600 people or less in the world. Well yesterday, I "borrowed" my sister's laptop because her's is newer. The lag in world 65 was much less noticeable even with 1000+ people in the world. Still some lag, but not enough to annoy anyone. What can I do to my laptop to reduce lag? Is it because my frame rate is low, so I need a better graphics card? Is it because her processor is better, or she has more RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 We would need the specifications of your computer to diagnose any difficulties that you may be having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbyallstar Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 We would need the specifications of your computer to diagnose any difficulties that you may be having. Do you really now? All I want to know is what would help increase my framerates to reduce lag. I don't really think knowing my specifications would actually make a difference if my sister's laptop is better equipped than mine. If you really must know, then I'll look it up. But at the mean time, she has 4 GB of RAM compared to my 2 GB, and probably has a better processor and graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 If both computers share the same network, and there is such a vast difference, then it's probably the computer itself having difficulty. My guess would be that you have an integrated graphics card that just can't handle the load. RAM would only play a part if you're maxing out the 2GB.

Ah ok, so would I have to upgrade the graphics card? Or can it not be replaced and I'd have to buy a better laptop? I'm pretty sure I'm not maxing out my RAM usage.

Laura Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 IGPUs/GPUs are generally not replaceable in laptops; you would have to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok, I need to buy a new laptop anyways. Thanks for your help :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
