Specs
Intel Core i7 I7-720QM / 1.6 GHz
6 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1333 MHz
500 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 7200 rpm HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 1 GB GDDR5 SDRAM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition
I bought this laptop about 3 months ago, and havent really started gaming on it until recently. I've tried running CoD MW2 on recommended settings, lowest settings, max settings, etc etc, to no avail. It would play it fine a few days ago, and now when I try to play, its near impossible. I'm dropping frames like crazy as soon as the game starts, load times are slow as hell, and eventually I just end up stuck in a corner trying to esc and quit but even that is difficult because of the video lag. thank god for ctrl alt delete
then when I come out of the game after fighting for 5 minutes just to turn steam and CoD off,all 8 cores show about 25-30% usuage and my computer lags like crazy until I restart.
I'm at a loss here, any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more info, let me know.
