    Hey all again, I have again similar problem like into Prototype 2.
    The game is very laggy, especially with AA on.
    When I turn off AA it gives 10FPS boost but it's not enough.
    I'm playing multiplayer and it's super hard to kill anyone with that lag.
    I used the prerendered thingy, give 5FPS boost but still not enough.
    I tried playing on lowest, still same.
    Some help?

    Are you the same person with the ultra low voltage CPU?

    You do not clear min spec for BF3 and should not expect to play it.

    BF3 or 4 do not play well with dual cores, especially ULV. They are very CPU intensive and heavily threaded.

    But this happens onto many guys with more powerful PC's than mine.

    No it doesn't. And even if it did, every pc set up is different. Maybe they got a whole different problem.

    You heard the guys, its your CPU. That much was already clear since your last thread.
    So you either have to get a new notebook or get used to the low framerate and let me kill you :).

    I highly doubt it. If its a clean install and you are running it on the lowest settings there isnt much that can be done. Lets just say that there is no fix that needs to be applied after the installation.

    The only thing possible is to get a user configuration that further disables every single thing you can possibly disable, but at BEST that might give you... 5fps? 10fps in a firefight with three tanks and a chopper IF you're lucky? It's not going to make a huge difference and it's going to make COD: Black Ops 2 look about 4x better.

    You need a new notebook. End of story. Hell you probably need a desktop; I can barely think of any notebooks to recommend these days. Anyway, I'm going to sleep. Le bai
