Hi all,
I'm really sorry as I know this has probably been said a million times before but basically having problems with frame rate when playing Skyrim. It starts off at 23 FPS but after 5 mins of playing it drops to <11. My laptop is a Dell 1558 (2 years old) and the specs are as follows:
Intel i7-720QM(1.6GHz) CPU
4096MB (2x2048) 1333MHz DDR3 RAM
500 GB Serial ATA (7200RPM) hard drive
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Basically the frame rates I see are on a medium setting with antrisopic and anti-aliasing turned off and using GameBooster.
I'm not really asking anyone to help me fix this problem as I know there are soooooo many threads out there with the subject of FPS problems (I really don't want to be hounded by someone saying stop making forum post with subjects that are already out there. My question is specific to my laptop specs/age). All I'm asking is should my laptop in theory be performing better or am I better off getting a new laptop. If it should be performing better I can try and work it out from here but would greatly appreicate anyone with a yay or nay anwser to is my laptop specs up to running skyrim.
Cheers!!!!
