Laptop optimisation

[Corporal Ducky]

i play using a laptop not a desktop, it meets the requirements (it has windows 8.1, intel i7-4710HQ, 8 GB RAM, a GTX 870M ( s slightly weaker 870, but still better than the required 760), and directX 11). howver i still have 10 - 20 fps on lowest settings. I understand that optimisation is improving with the game, just a reminder the us laptop plebs exist and would also like some love.

Make sure that your game run on dedicated graphic card.

Ok, i'll give that a shot, thanks

What do you expect with a majority of machines which use shared graphics?

To get decent performance, you'll need either an APU, or a Stand Alone GPU, and not many laptops have Stand Alone GPU's.

Laptop's have never really been used for gaming. They aren't built for that.

To be fair this game isn't incredibly optimised YET, just give it time :D

Devs please don't cater to people with ♥♥♥♥ PCs. Pleeease don't drop this games quality down to pander to these types.

I feel like you are all missing the point. My laptop is a gaming laptop, a bit out of date, but still pretty strong. It runs the witcher 3 at 40 fps on medium settings, so optimisation is possible without killing graphics, i would just like to see the game playable for laptop, which it should be. I didn't make this post to start a circlejerk about how laptops are bad, so if you are here to comment that, i've heard it before don't waste your time.

Yeah i am going to wait, i dont expect the game to be perfect yet, i just hop they remember laptop users.
PS. Thanks, yours is the only comment not telling me laptops suck. What a friendly community this game is starting with

I don't think you quite understand this discussion. I said increase optimisation not decrease max graphics. There is a difference, and lower quality graphics can be added as an option without removing the high graphics option. Before attacking some random guy on the internet, at least make sure you have a good reason please.

Game isnt optimised yet, that wont happen until near full release, force the laptop to run on Nvidia and use global Nvidia settings. Ingame turn off shadows and high shaders that should boost you up a bit, I can currently get around the 40fps mark on an old MSI GT70, these level machines should be perfectly fine at full release.

It is on our shop page that laptops are not fully supported for the game for reasons others stated above my comment. Over time, it should get better, but if you own a laptop, you can own the game at your own risk.

However, most users have this problem because their laptop uses the Intel card for the game instead of the high-performance one. Go to your NVDIA control panel and change the setting> Manage your 3D setting> Overall setting> High Performance Nvdia Processor

First: thank you for taking the time to read this and reply. I don't know many devs who actually do that.
Second: i have done that and the game runs perfectly now, thanks.

good to know - i have an extreme gaming laptop and was shocked to see this game run so poorly. I will haveto try this and see what happens.

I hope upon release that this works as good as diablo 3 does on any gaming laptop.
