28 FPS in battles outdoors, 35 fps just traveling, 40 fps in dungeons.

This laptop plays Skyrim surprisingly well. Radeon 6620 - This is part of the APU and has roughly the performance of a HD 5570 I also have a second laptop similar to the OP's:Ī8-3500M Llano quad-core APU 1.5 ghz, turbo to 2.3 ghz I've had no crashes at all other than when I use alchemy.Ĭore 2 Extreme 2.8, overclocked to 3.0 ghz (can reach 3.8 stable but the fan gets too loud) I'm running Skyrim at 40 fps outdoors, 60 fps in dungeons. I have an aging laptop that's great for gaming. The fact that it's a notebook processor does NOT mean it's slower per clock. This is not mentioning stuff like cache and so on, which is why laptops have always been poor choices for gaming. Well to give you an idea, most gamers here have quad-core CPUs that are anywhere from 50–70% faster than yours at both stock or overclocked speeds (2.9–4.5 Ghz).

Specularity Fade - Specular effects are when objects shine depending on the light being cast on them (armour on guards for example). If you do enable it however, turn off AA.

Can actually increase performance, and I really like the effect it gives, however others hate it.

A kind of blur/softening shader that decreases "jaggies", but also smooths out the whole game. Decrease if you want less or get slowdowns in combat.įXAA - A "cheaper" version of AA. Decrease it if you dislike the effect or you get slowdowns in combat.ĭecal Quantity - How many blood decals are shown in combat. Radial Blur - The blur effect you get when you're hit. Show all Resolutions just shows all compatible resolutions with your monitor. Generally makes things look a lot better without affecting performance much. Entirely personal preference if you like AA or not, however it can come with a hefty performance hit, so be wary of that.Īnisotropic Filtering - Makes flat textures (like the ground) sharper in the distance. Generally the higher the resolution of your game, the less "jaggies" that are visible. Perhaps someone else a can decode your hardware, however from where I'm standing it doesn't look good.Īntialiasing - Smooths edges out, gets rid of "jagged edges". Your specs have utterly confused me so I'm just going to quickly explain the settings.
