deathraid747 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I got Skyrim the other day completely confident that my computer could run it perfectly fine. Unfortunately, my computer can only run skyrim at 10-20 fps outdoors, 20-30 indoors with no NPCs around, and all settings on low with the exception of texture quality, which is on medium. Im hoping that anyone could give me some advice on how to improve the game's performance, without telling me to spend 200 some-odd dollars on a new graphics card, which i'll probably only use to play Skyrim. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite L755, with an Intel® Core™ i5-2410M processor and 4 gigs of ram, running on Windows 7 64 bit.I also have the Mines of Moria mod, the killable children mod, More Skyrim Monsters mod, and Tytanis' "ultimate mod".

elderiii Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Well, the truth of it is that you have a laptop running integrated graphics, so of course you can't play a new video game like Skyrim with any kind of decent settings. You can't add a new graphics card to a laptop either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToMuchForYa Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Ahh Idk.. The only thing I could think of with your computer, what you already did is to lower your in game texture quality, and your computers quality. And probably reduce your mods.And actual you can upgrade your laptops graphic card.. But it's not going to be in a walk in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathraid747 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 So my best option is to get a new graphics card, and attempt to install it onto my laptop, hoping that it will work, which it probably wont? Guess I wont be playing skyrim any time soon. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I warn you if you haven't changed any graphic cards in a laptop before have a computer wiz do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
