My brother has gotten a new laptop which has 1024 MB RAM, Athlon 64-bit 3500+, and ATI Radeon Xpress 200m Video Card. We installed FarCry, and it can play it with very low settings, but not that great. Next we installed Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, and With all settings on low and res at 800x600, hes getting maybe 30 fps.
Is there something wrong here? I thought it was a pretty good system. I dont know much about the video card, but everything else looked good. Also, Is it possible that the processor which should be 2.2 ghz, is stuck on 1 ghz because of cool and quiet? Would this cause poor game performance? If so, how can we turn Cool n quiet off?
Otherwise, does anyone know of a good gaming laptop for $2000 or less? One that can play the newest games and upcoming games at full settings?
