Skyrim in my new laptop =3
Hello,
I have a HUGE problem =/
Can anyone help me?? See because I've been wanting to play skyrim by since about the start of 2012, but the low end laptops of my brothers cant be used because it's to slow even without the MODS.
So here's the good side:
My dad bought me a new laptop from ASUS that has great specs(Specs bellow)
Here's the problem:
When I play Skyrim at the start it's like I'm playing from my brother's old laptop =(
I mean even with my new laptop it's like it doesn't differ from our old laptop.. and heres the thing that piss*s me off... My other brother's laptop has more flawless gameplay and we bought that from about 1-2 years from now. I mean is there some drivers or softwares that I need to download so that I can have flawless gameplay?? I don't care even with low graphics. I haven't downloaded anything yet and it's only a week old. The only thing that I have downloaded is a more updated NVIDIA.
Ram = 8gb
Space = 1 Terabyte
Nvidia 610M 2GB
Inter Core i7 - 3630QM CPU @ 2.4 GHz
Windows 8 64-bit

And sorry if i posted this on a wrong forum...
Sorry to break it to you, but the nvidia GT 610m is a VERY lowend laptop graphics card ;the performance tier of the card is determined by the 2nd number, as in 610m [so on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 is the lowest]
I know you probably thought the 6 meant it was good, but unfortunately the first number only tells us how new of a card it is, not how well it will perform.

You can find addititional info here regarding the GT 610m and it even has some game benchmarks: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-610M.63759.0.html

I have really small Acer Aspire x3200 which is already a few years old. It has an AMD Phenom 9650 quad-core @ 2,3GHz, 4 GB of RAM. I replaced the original GF 9300 with a GT 520 2GB (which I overclocked) by Palit and I can run Skyrim flawlessly on high settings at a resolution of 1024*768.
I only use a performance mod which runs with script extender and I had to turn off shadows.

Since the 610 is just a upgraded 520 you should be able to play it somehow.

Otherwise try to save up around €500 and build yourself a PC.

Regards. ^^

Hey Ph│のαryℓ,

That's not a bad laptop really. But I don't understand why it has the 610M from Nvidia, because you have a 3rd generation Intel Core processor.

http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz

That means you should also have the Intel HD Graphics 4000 built in, which should be faster than the 610M for most games! It runs Skyrim nice @ medium details and I guess with a bit of tweaking you could play on high. Check this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=154aP1CdvNM

Now you "only" have to find out how to enable the Intel HD Graphics 4000 + install latest drivers and disable the 610M => Google search.

Then, use a performance mod for Skyrim and follow this optimization guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEHdsADF_Cc

The Intel HD Graphics 4000 is quite amazing for being an IGP, Good Luck!
Thx all vey much =) my skyrim has improved a lot even with mods =3
