PHSYCOBOB Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Keep in mind (slap me if I'm wrong, guys) that if you turn your grafics down, your cpu does more of the work. Keeping the grafics up, within the specs. of your grafics card, force the card to handle most of the processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormfury_2 Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I'd just say it was a laptop specific issue and whats a 7500c graphics card is it ATI radeon based?? I've noticed that in my experience with the mod it seems to run slower on ATI based cards, I have a GF3 ti200 (nVidia) card that handles everything turned up pretty well until it gets stupidily bogged down with hundreds of ships, lasers, torps etc. Don't forget the warlords isn't just a basic HW2 conversion really it's a different game altogether just on the same engine and tbh to get it to run like HW2 would you'd need a beast of a machine. There is no real way to fix you problem really because laptops are hard to upgrade unlike a PC and thats where they start falling down imo. Hope this helps in anyway shape or form... storm... No Archibald you cannot fly me home! Especially because that which you are sitting in is a tin foil covered, card board box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive EvilleJedi Posted October 30, 2004 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted October 30, 2004 what processor are you running on the laptop? my 1.3 centrino with 512 of ram and a radeon 9200 is slow too, unless you have a high end p4/axp laptop (2 ghz+ ) I reall don't know if it will ever be able to run well. (one reason is the hard drives are always slower and there's usually other inefficienies on a laptop board) the only other thing I can say is make sure your system isn't throttling the clock when you are playing, set the power setting to always on or use a utility like speedstepxp to force the clock to its max and turn off all power saving (ati has a gpu throttle option in the display options) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
