GuitarHeroNL Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Hello all, since 30 minutes im a happy owner of the game Skyrim, so i started the game, activated the game and made a steam account, but if i start the game, everything is realy laggy and its allmost impossible to play it this way, the video settings are on low, i used Game Booster, but nothing seems to work... This is my laptop: http://www.specsbox.com/367/toshiba-satellite-c660-laptop-specs.html It has a i3 processor, windows 7 Home premium 64 bit, 4 GB of RAM, and a 2,5 '' 640 gb HDD, i had by far enough space when i installed it... Please help me out, there must be a way that i can play the game without lag, my pc isnt that old you know... Even if the PC does not have the required hardware, tell it to me because than i just throw the game away... Such a waste of 50 euro... I checked the site of Bethesda before buying, and i thought everything was ok and that i had the required specs. P.S, sorry for my bad english... Im from Holland... EDIT: Some specific specs of my pc: type : Intel® Core™ i3-370M Processorspeed: : 2.40 GHz Front Side Bus : 1066 MHz 3rd level cache : 3 MB Edited May 3, 2012 by GuitarHeroNL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Unfortunately, Skyrim is a fairly demanding game and the specs you have won't really work well. From the description of the laptop, it's designed for everyday use, not gaming. Sadly, you probably have bought a game you won't be able to use for a while.

GuitarHeroNL Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 So, there is not a sollution for this..? And if i would use the same laptop with a i5 processor, will that make more sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiguy20002 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) It looks like you may have integrated graphics, and not a discrete card. This would cause the game to lag. You can also look under settings within Skyrim, and turn down some of the graphics settings, that may help. The performance on the game is more dependent on the graphics card than the processor.

GuitarHeroNL Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 This is my graphical processor: Intel GMA HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiguy20002 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yes, that is an integrated and not discrete graphics processor. If you had a discrete or standalone (rather than integrated) graphics, it will lag. You can turn down the graphics quality settings in Skyrim to help with this.
