Looking to boost Vanquish's performance on my laptop; Any tips?
While for the most part Vanquish runs fine on my laptop(despite not actually running at 60fps in certain parts), but there are a few instances where there's some big slowdowns in certain parts of the game(freakin' Kreon overheating the ARS meter up close DX), I'm looking towards trying to boost the performance on my laptop, but I'm still kinda clueless of which is what in the NVidia settings:

My laptops specs are:
Intel Core i5-2450 @ 250GHz
4gb RAM
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
NVidia GeForce 610M
Intel HD Graphics 3000

I don't really care if the graphics won't look great, I just want to know where I can boost the performance in the settings.

Thanks!

Edit: sorry, didn't realise topic title sounded desperate. Fixed.

My advice, give up. Intel integrated graphics will make that not possible. Also that I5 processor isn't doing you any favors either. And damn dude, my Toshiba laptop had 6 gigs of RAM. You got boned when you bought that thing

I did say the game runs fine for the most part, and truth be told, While there are some slowdowns, it isn't gamebreaking. All I'm asking is what settings in the Nvidia control settings should I change to boost performance. If there isn't, I'm still fine with what I got.

If anything's holding you back it's the 610. I run the game on a phenom II x2 from 2009, so it's definitely not the i5.

Yeah, suspected as much. Btw can you see the jpeg image? I made it public since I realise making it private just closes it off to anyone but me.

If so, then there's nothing in the settings I could fiddle around with? My Asus A43S actually runs it fine so far(to me anyway) at the lowest resolution, borderless and unlocked aspect ratio, but I'm not well verse with some of the settings in nvidia like some of the anti-aliasing, CUDA or texture options there. If everything's in order, then I'm fine with it.

Don't think there's really much you could change to boost the framerate any more. Just, be sure you keep antialiasing off, it wastes way too much on low end hardware.

^ all four of them? Including anti-aliasing - gamma correction and anti-aliasing - Mode?
Seamus Jun 11, 2017 @ 12:22pm 
Just leave them all on application controlled and make sure antialiasing is off in the vanquish options.

^ Ah, ok. Thanks man :steamhappy:

put power management mode to prefer maximum performance. GT 610M is a very weak GPU you'd benefit from overclocking slightly like +100 on core gpu clock

Hmm. Ok, will try that. Thanks.

Yeah, power management to 'max performance' and also set the multiple display option to 'single display' (that doesn't probably help anything).

Try changing the 'maximum pre-rendered frames' to 1 or 3 (this might cause input lag but not that much). Not sure which one is more beneficial but it might help slightly.

When it comes to laptops they are all bit bottlenecked on ram speed and gpu frequency so it might be there's not that much improvement no matter how much you tweak. You could try to overclock your gpu if that's possible but just be careful with the temperatures.

Or if nothing else helps just lower your resolution. I had Asus ROG laptop and some games just couldn't run 1080p there would always be some fps drops but lowering the resolution a little helped to get smooth fps with no drops - that was directly related to ram and gpu bandwidth. Also maybe doing a compromise and locking the framerate to 50 fps instead of 60 will help with visual consistence as you'll get less noticeable drops.

From ingame options try disabling motion blur. I think it might help too.

^ Still testing around with the prerendered frames, but the max performance does help alot. Thanks!
