Need some opinions
I'm currently playing PoE on an old laptop.
And it works fine, though when there is much stuff going on, it goes around 10 FPS [12 FPS Dominus] RAM: 4GB Intel Core 2 Duo T6600, 2.20 GHz 512MB Nvidia GeForce G102M I wonder how it will work on a laptop like this. [It's all I can afford atm] RAM: 8GB AMD Radeon R7 M260DX, FX-7500 Quad Core, 2.1 GHz - 3.3 GHz 2GB VRAM Will I see some increase in FPS ? :( | |
I'm not even sure how you play PoE on the old laptop.
The new one will play PoE, but it will have a lot of trouble. The SLI setup may be difficult to get working correctly, and certain enemies and areas will still make the game crawl. Laptops are not great for playing modern 3D video games. If I were you, I would get a smart phone or cheap tablet for whatever mobile needs you have, and buy a desktop computer for gaming instead. The computing value from a desktop is much better, you could spend $60 on a video card and it would blow any budget laptop out of the water. If you paid $1,400 for the cheapest laptop using a water-cooled GeForce 980M, the best mobile GPU, you would still get about the same performance paying $500 for a computer with a $140 GPU. And you couldn't upgrade the laptop with a new video card in a couple years. My opinion is don't get a laptop for PoE, especially with that budget. Last edited by ionface on Nov 22, 2015, 10:19:13 AM

Nah, man.
This laptop works just fine, 80-111 FPS Dominus now 100-125 FPS others That's on Low On high everything goes to 40-60FPS rarely it goes below 35. For me is enough, better than what I had before. | |
" " 10 FPS to 125 FPS is a huge range. So what FPS are you getting on your regular PoE gameplay? And what resolution are you running this at? " PoE will run a Core 2 Duo, but that GPU is the absolute bottom modem for dedicated mobile graphics, and worse it's EIGHT generations behind. If you're playing on a 1280x720 laptop screen, then at least PoE should be somewhat playable. But I seriously doubt you're getting 100-something FPS on that G102M GPU, even at 1280x720. " Even the cheapest, bottom-end laptop models today will give you better framerates than what you have right now. Since you laptop is probably 6 years old, you're somewhat content playing PoE on it, and you're on a budget, you won't need to spend much on a new laptop to be happy. I'd recommend this ASUS laptop for $650 brand new... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232753 NVIDIA GTX 950M 15.6" 1920x1080 screen Intel Core i5-5200U 128GB SSD & 1TB HDD 8GB RAM Wireless 802.11 A/C ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▒▒▒▒░░░░░ cipher_nemo ░░░░░▒▒▒▒ │ Waggro Level: ♠○○○○ │ 1244 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Last edited by cipher_nemo on Nov 25, 2015, 9:32:39 AM

" I'm glad it is working to your satisfaction. I'm not sure of the refresh rate of your display, but I'd suggest ( if it is 60Hz ) to turn on vsync to reduce image tearing when your fps are higher than the refresh rate of your display.

Have you removed Asus ROG/GameFirst yet? |
