Need help PC games

[Txantslusam Skxawng]

I know, I can put this in the support section, but I think that this kind of help I can better ask here.

I lately got a few old PC games, like COD1, from a friend and I find myself more and more to PC games, ofcourse I will always be a real PS3 gamer, but playing on PC will be a new challenge for me, which make the gaming more fun.

My friend send me to this site to see if you can run a PC game: www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

But the thing is, on every point it says my laptop is okay, except for the videocard, but when it gives details about the videocard, it says that everything is okay and has more then the minimum requirements... When I play COD5 single player it goes very laggy, even with all the settings on low.

Here is a screenshot:



When I click on recommendations, it just give you a site where you can buy laptops which the right specs.

Then my friend said I should download something called 3D analyzer, that should help playing games that your videocard can't handle.


Thanks for the help

I have the same thing, but "that game" still works when I have an another version of Video Card

In theory your GPU supports the game - but what I've learned from my experience is that it's no fun to play games with Intel GPUs. Crappy drivers and they are slow as hell. Maybe they know this at the site and say it's crap

What video card are you using?

That Intel graphics card is the problem. And since you have a laptop replacing the GPU isn't exactly an easy task.

[Txantslusam Skxawng]

Since the GPU and something else are connected together, as one part... right..

Bad thing is, that I need to go another 4 years with this laptop, since I am using this for school...

Get a desktop -> problem solved!

Any good examples?

Just a question, I saw something called DriverAgent, for $30 a year, you can download latest drivers for your laptop. Atleast that is what they say, but, is it possible that I only need to download some better 'drivers' and then I can run new games like Skyrim on my laptop? It can't be that easy?

You can also PM if you prefer.

You can download the new drivers direct from the manufacturer's website for free.

AFAIK new drivers won't help much. There's no way to make a graphics card magically have more power.

Apparantly it's legit, but I don't think you'll see much improvement tbh. Especially not if you're using Windows 7 or Vista since they tend to keep drives up to date automatically, at least for common hardware.

And since its on the web, I am sure a certain driver will be somewhere for 'free'. But then again, playing some older games, that run smoothly on laptop, is also fun.

[Niwantaw]

afaik all drivers are released for free.


as in by the companies who make them not by others.
