NFS Carbon FPS Problem?

OK i have 1gb ram 1.83ghz centrino and x1600 why can i only play at like 20ish fps with med -high settings?and low settings i get like 40? But i can play bf 2142 no probs med-high?

Is it the way nfs carbon isbuilt or wat?
WIll more ram make it better?

 

that is strange, i dont know what to tell you....

 

There are 3 possible scenarios that i can think of. Which OS are you using? It's a bit vague with your info given.



1) You have not updated your drivers/ patched Need For Speed Carbon. Give it a try.
2) Any background tasks such as antivirus scanning/video encoding etc, pause /cancel them before playing.
3) Turn off compatibility mode.

1.83Ghz Centrino and 1GB ram with X1600 should allow Carbon to be playable imo.

edit - You might have turned your resolution too high. 800X600 will give you good FPS.

 

ok have win xp and Catalyst 7.3
And this is demo but im buying nfs carbon atm so what kind of patches are there?

 

I don't even own the game, but its only a simple google (2 alternative links)

Also, piracy = no no

 

my bad. I thought you were playing the full version

 

i meant buying
thx all ill see how it goes

 

Well I apologise

Sometimes you get a demo not working but the proper game is fine, whilst other times you get it vice versa. Which is not very good at all...
