SuperGuppy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 The game runs REALLY, REALLY slow for me. The audio works fine though. My laptop is brand new, and cost me 1000 dollars. The graphics card is a AMD M880G with ATI mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics with 128 MB Display Cache Memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sadly that isn't a gaming GPU, it's very weak and will struggle with anything intensive like The Witcher 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppy Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 What video card would you recommend? Would it be possible to buy a better one and replace it, even if I'm using a laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very unlikely you'll be able to upgrade the GPU in a laptop, what model is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i know about the only laptop that will let you upgrade the GPU chip would be Alienware . There may be others out there . But if there are i`m not aware of them .

N3C14R Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I don't think that HD4250 could be upgraded since its more of an onboard IGP than a discreet GPU. Most likely it is built into the motherboard than on a separate expansion card. Also, the HD4250 is like one of the lowest end HD4XXX series GPU's made. Well at least it's better than most of the Intel GMA/HD Graphics crap that most budget laptops come equipped with anyways. :) Edited June 7, 2011 by N3C14R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordsman5 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 You could try getting this freeware programme http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html I find it helps a lot with my older rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or by removing start up programs/services from msconfig. Edited June 13, 2011 by N3C14R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
