gaming very slow on my laptop? - acer 5920g

hey guys. my specs are:

t5250 1.5ghz (ya i know lol)
2gb ddr2 5200 (i forgot the 5x00 number i think its 200)
gddr2 8600m gt.

Ok, call of duty 4 DEMO i get like 20 fps around there, even at everything low.
crysis, everything low at 800x600 lol i can play fine.

but team fortress 2, day of defeat source, cs:s i play 1280x800 with 16x csaa antialiasing with 16x antistropic (with hdr and motion blur),

is that what im supose to get with Call of Duty 4? or is the full version game a lot better?

 

ok, u know what lol im gonna install xp, im sick of vista. I'll report back around 2-3 hours later!

 

Check drivers and temperatures

 

Goodluck with finding all the drivers for xp

 

The Source engine used for Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, etc. is not too demanding and can run quite well even on older and less powerful hardware.
I'm not sure about COD4's engine and the engine used in Crysis is very demanding and could use a bit optimization.

 

How on earth are you playing TF2 with those settings?
I'm between 20 and 60 fps on 1366x768, no HDR, 2x AA/AF!

thanks! because i found all of them, including all the utilities for my fn key!

call of duty 4 now i running at around 30-35 fps with 1024x640 with 2x antialiasing and everything full what the demo allows me.

 

you are obviously joking right?

 

The 1.5 Core2Duo should be more than enough for the minimum specs

 

no hes not, its your processor.

 

i couldnt run it decently at all with my old 1.67 GHz Turion X2 processor

 

Turn off shadows and depth of field.


You'll get an instant 10+ fps boost.

 

wow, thanks! What does Depth of Field raelly even do? I can't notice it (lol thats a good thing plus performance!)... shadows, i dont think it tinkers my fps, so ill leave that on, and when iget the real game i want the all shadow goodness in "All Ghilled Up" lol

 

It is how far you can see on maps. If its off you don't see as far which isnt a big issue on multiplayer maps at all.

 

yep its your processor lower your setting and maybe try different drivers?

 

Calm Down Jeez Maybe You Forgot And Dude Check Out Your Processor Speed You Need Better Drivers

 

you can read the same thing off of the bottom of the box... if you ask for help don't act like a dink when you get responses.

 

i really didn't expect to get that answer from a forum like this, but that's fine, its resolved. thank you everyone/

 

if the res wasnt so low your CPU wouldnt be the bottleneck.
