Can't get above 15 FPS regardless of graphics settings?

[GRAB A SPRITE]

I posted a technical feedback through the ingame feedback option, but i thought i'd post here just to see if I could get a faster response.
I'm working with Laptop with
i7 @2.4ghz
16GB RAM
GTX 670MX
Regardless of graphics settings be it fastest or fantastic, with or without all the visual features turned on/off I can't get more than a unplayable 15fps? I was under the impression I met the minimum requirements and was pretty close to the reccomended. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to lower your in-game resolution, that is a pretty important thing when looking at the performance.

Try to update your graphics drivers, windows, directx and framework. It is an laptop, try to put your laptop on high performance right below in the corner > Battery icon.

Maybe try some software to boost your laptop, maybe your processor is running alot in the background.

But keep in mind, an laptop isnt really for gaming! Yes, they offer laptop's for gaming, but still an desktop is the best way to play games. Not only performance but also the heat and lower in price!..

This card won't even run MKKE for me on lowest supported res with all details set to off or low, Really invest in a bigger card for PC gaming and avoid laptops.

It isn't the best, but the performance are pretty good for an mobile graphics card.

When dynamic shadow batching comes out in (I think) Unity 4.2 performance will increase up to 50%.

Hmm, I am aware that mobile GPU's are lacking compared to pc counterparts however i've done pretty well with the 670MX so far. Running graphically intensive games like Crysis 3, Metro Last Light etc all on high averaging at least 30fps on a 17" screen @ 1600 x 900. I guess I just assumed I'd be ok with IM as it seemed to be no more graphically intensive then any other game id been playing recently. All graphics drivers are up to date, high performance on etc. I know being pre alpha things arent really optimised to the fullest yet, I just hoping I get a performance boost in the future as I was really looking forward to this game :(


Edit: Just read the link posted, Quote,

"The graphics performance of the GeForce GTX 670MX should be above the older GTX 670M and is therefore in the high-end class of mobile graphics cards of 2012. Only the extremely demanding title The Witcher 2 may not run fluently in ultra settings. Battlefield 3, Skyrim, and Crysis 2, for example, are playable at the highest detail settings."

Again - try to lower your resolution in-game. There are a lot of textures being made that depends on your resolution.

That notebook should be able to do more than 15 FPS.

Can you please post up your monitor resolution and the resolution you're playing at. Also, can you take a hi-rez screenshot and post it up here as I'd like to check something (or you can add it to your support ticket as I can see it in there as well).

Thanks!

I've uploaded a screenshot with details in the caption. Screen resoloution is 1600x900. That is also what i've been attempting to play at. I had to take the resoloution all the way down to the lowest available (500xsomething) to even notice a performance boost and even then couldn't achieve more than 27fps.

Hate to be that guy, but bump for a response. Please.

you might have driver issues somewhere, you should be getting 35-40 fps with everything maxed out. some ppl say *derp laptop* but they're idiots. do you have realtek sound devices? there is a known issue for the drivers previous the latest release that causes memory leaks. i had to manually update the thing on my laptop and it helps a bit. other than that, no other ideas. also Phyrefli probably wanted you to post the screenshot in this thread, lol, you can't expect them to go looking through your photo library for a specific screenshot :p

[Forgefire]

The GTX 670MX may have a high internal clock rate but really bandwidth is quite important as well which is pretty much always lower on laptops (note: I am playing on laptop as well..so this isnt a flame attempt at people who use laptops to play on! It's just reality)

having said that it does seem crazy you had to go that low ress - try to turn off all the graphics effects (keys 1-6, they are shown as on or off as little dots in the bottom of your screen when in-game) pick the middel graphic setting and see what you get at native(1600x900) resolution.

Oh right, I'm admittedly a bit of a noob when it comes to steam so I just assumed I'd upload it and it would be available for everyone. I'll try and get it on here. EDIT: I missed your first point somehow. Yeah I have standard Realtek HD audio. I'll look at the drivers for that.

@Forgefire, i've been messing with the graphics effects and turning them off makes little to no difference in terms of fps, it just looks better/worse.

you can copy and paste the link to the screen right into the comment. just right click and *copy page url*


for the realtek update you can: right click the speaker on the bottom right of your desktop > playback devices > right click Realtek Digital Output and open properties > the window that pops up will have the realtel logo and right under it should be a blue text link for the realtek website with the drivers.

^^^^^^
lol i assume you already know where to get the drivers but that is for others that may or may not know where to go for them :)
