    Hello,

    I have just bought and tried Simcity 5 on my G73. However, the FPS I get isnt what I was expecting. And the only setting that seem to affect it is lighting.
    If I have all settings on max, 1200p, and lighting on min, i get 60fps, capped. But if i change lighting to low, i get FPS below 30. Changing other setting to low doesn't affect FPS almost at all, its all on lighting.

    Anyone else play this game on their G7* laptops? How is it with theirs? What are the best settings?


    P.S. Neither my GPU or CPU gets 100% load, but how can i force them?

    Thanks

    Reviews so far are giving the game around 3-4/10 and claiming it is totally broken and unplayable at the moment. So I would not worry about it being your G73 it is going to be EA and release problems.

    The spec required are way below your setup.

    Amazon kind of sums it up.
