Maximising Graphics Performance
Over the weekend I decided that I may just about be able to find the time to play a new game on my laptop, and opted for the recently released Age of Conan. While the game has been enjoyable so far and runs on my laptop, I am concerned that the machine is struggling to keep up at times, and dissapointed that in an online game I must use some of the lowest graphical settings. I don't pretend to have a particularly powerful machine, but would hope that a few tweaks here and there may help with performance.
The laptop specs are:
Can anyone give me advice as to how I might improve my machine's performance, and also, can laptops be overclocked? |

Re: Maximising Graphics Performance
I can only advice you to remove those 2x1GB RAM and put in 2x2GB RAM memory...
with this you can improve performance... That Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit version??? |

Re: Maximising Graphics Performance
As expressed before Ram is really your only upgrade option, at a longer shot it is possible to upgrade your processor, but be warned a more powerful processor will increase the heat your notebook produces and will void any warranty it has.

Re: Maximising Graphics Performance
Thankyou both for your advice. I have done a little more digging and discovered (contrary to my earlier belief) that I can install 3rd part video card drivers for my graphics card. This should help somewhat and hopefully in conjunction with tweaking some of Nvidia's settings I should see some performance improvement.
If anyone has further software-related suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated. |
