Increasing FPS
Destiny/Zack0Wack0:
I have that card. I can run blockland on high for 6 hours or more and it only overheats at night. When I put shadows off, textures low, and draw distance low (this is the most important.
I caan play modern-graphical games on high for 2 hours before it overheats, 4 on med and 6 on high with low draw distance.
This is usual with business laptops, and I don't think its your graphics catd. Turn down your draw distance and graphic qualities.
Xp and vista have big cpu usage. Close any internet-based programs (IM, downloading) and pause virus scans.

This is the laptop I am now considering. My friend has the same model and it works very well for Blockland. He looked at this page, said "that's my computer" and that it should work, and the reviews seem to agree with everything he said about it before even seeing that page. It all looks good, but there's one thing that I am concerned about with this:
Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200
Video Memory 128MB display cache; up to 1918MB total
Is that going to be a problem? 128MB doesn't sound very good. He gets 40 FPS where I get 6 FPS and mine has 328MB video memory, I think. Am I getting something wrong here? Is it difficult to upgrade that, and will I need to do so to get the same performance? Or should this one work about as well as his as it is?
Kn276:
That just may be a laptop thing. Because note that the laptop's graphics are better than mine, but I have more video memory, and this is a desktop computer.
This desktop is cheaper than the laptop trollface.jpg
I'll ask one of my geeky friends for help, just to make sure.

This is what most people say, but my computer runs just as lame with everything maxed out on performance as it does maxed out on quality.
Also, none of my computer parts have ever overheated, my computer is from 2003, and I've turned it off a total of around 10 times.
