| So heres the thing I started to play on a laptop, called elitebook8440p. i5 m520 2.4Ghz, 4gb ram, nvidia nvs3100m I know i know its not meant for gaming. I had a pretty terrible performance (mostly because of the video card i guess.) It was around 20 Fps, in fight it went down to around 15 (at least it was somewhat stable). So I desperately started to change video settings, then after a settings change, the screen went black and I had to force restart the laptop. Launched the game again, my fps is almost doubled, 40 fps and even in big fights it doesnt go below 25, !@#$ yea. The funny thing is, the settings are the same as before, everything off, res is at 1280x720. So what the hell happened? Its not over, if i restart my laptop again, i get the same %^-*ty (like 50%) performance as before. So I have to force the black screen error again and forcerestart to get the good performance... what the hell is this? Pls help. | ||

| Hey Jason492, Does your model have a dedicated graphics card or just on-board graphics? It could explain the difference in performance if it is switching between using the two as the dedicated card will be more powerful. _____________________________________________________ Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tiogaradh | ||

| A DXDiag should show it, if you want to post it here we can have a look. :) _____________________________________________________ Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tiogaradh | ||

| Seems like you might have newer drivers available for your graphics card, you can find steps on how to update these here You're also going to need to make sure that your laptop is set to make use of the dedicated graphics card, how to do this can vary across models but the manufacturer support site should be able to point you in the right direction. _____________________________________________________ Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na Survey! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tiogaradh | ||
