Yes, I understand that. What's funny is, I can handle BF2 on low to med settings with it, and it plays smoothly. My cousin gets better k/d ratios than me with my lappy compared to my desktop. Putting all that aside, I put the video settings on source to low...no shadows, low textures, etc...
ahh...excuse me then...maybe artifacing isn't the term then. sorry for being a noob. But it's a little laggy when i run cs:s with my lcd monitor at 1280x1024 rez. will upping my ram improve smoothing out gameplay?
I am running a mobility x300 128mb on my inspirion 6000. I have 1 gb of ddr2 pc4200 ram. Will upgrading my ram improve the artifacing i get when I run CS:S? I'm thinking of going to 2gb of ram.
so i upgraded my memory to 2gb of corsair xms.....game runs smooth on 1280 rez at 75hz with high settings....WAY smooth. So i guess it was just the RAM.
Are you on stock cooling? I decided to put my BF2 settings on medium because it's a lot smoother. Hopefully the extra RAM will make a larger difference during gameplay. I'm thinking about boosting it back up to high settings when the RAM comes in, hopefully it'll be able to handle.
I just did the 3dMark05. My score without unlocket the Pipes were at 4,500. Unlocked pipes went to 5000. If the score is higher, does that mean its better? Also what drivers do you guys suggest? I'm thinking about the new Z-Tweaked Forceware Driver, but yeah.
well...i turned everything back to "normal" or default. But I'm gonna 3dmark done on both default and unlocked so that I can compare. I also ordered 2gb kit corsair xms with 3-3-3-8 timings. With that...will I be able to run everything on high settings with minimal lag at 1280 rez unlocked or...
Thanks for everyone's input. I unlocked "something" using the guide on anandtech. More specifically, that "other thing" other than the pipe. Things are smoother with 1280x1024 at 75hz on high settings. I'll probably invest in more ram, but maybe next month. But I think I'll try dropping the...
Okay, so I'm pretty noob, but I've been looking around to see what I can do to reduce lag while I play BF2. System Specs as follows:
ABIT IC7
P4 HT 3.0Ghz
1GB PC3200
BFG 6800GS OC
Monitor = Envision VGA LCD
I put the settings on 1024x768 at 60hz with application settings on High...
