How to get more FPS?

[elke_10]

Ok, First off i know i don't have no super uber gaming rig. But this lil laptop does get alot done gaming wise. So please don't troll me saying go buy anew PC or anything else Please. And thank you for any help or suggestion that come.

So first off the MIN Requirements are not that demanding for GR:O which is nice and gives alot of people a chance to enjoy this great game. I LOVE GR:O!!!!!!!!

These are the min requirements posted in another thread.

Here are the minimum requirements to play Ghost Recon: Online.

- Core2Duo 2ghz or higher (up to 2.6ghz)
- Windows XP
- 3GB of RAM or above
- 250GB HDD or above
- X850 XT 256MB 500Mhz (or higher)

Now this is what i have,

PhenomII x3 2.3ghz
Windows 7 Home
6GB ram
650GB HDD
ATI Readon HD 6370m 512mb 750Mhz clock

Ok, As i stated yes i know this is not a power house. But i play alot of other FPS that i won't mention but get better FPS on those then here. I get the lowest FPS of all the games i play on GR:O.

Now i surpass the MIN requirements, But yet i only get 25-35FPS on the low setting at 1600X900 Res.
My laptop is extremely clean and very well maintained all drivers are up to date and so forth.

Now my goal would to be at least 60+FPS on MED or even HIGH settings, But i will be happy with 60+FPS on low the game doesn't have to look godly great for me to enjoy shooting off faces :P

So any suggestions or help to bump up my FPS would be greatly thanked.


EDIT: Also can i get a reason why GR:O always starts and runs at below normal priority? I have to constantly ALT-TAB to my task manager to set it to high.

Setting the priority of the process won't help, if anything it will cause your system to slow down.

Also, your system exceeds the Minimum requirements but it might not meet the Recommended requirements. Not a lot you can do unfortunately. Upgrade your drivers/software, close unused programs while playing. If that fails you'll need to upgrade some hardware. Since you have a 6370m I'm assuming you're on a laptop, so upgrading hardware may be easier said than done.

I have been playing for a week now on my slow laptop but I run GRO at low on 800x600. I seem to get a more FPS than 1600x900.
Also like Freelancer said try closing all other programs ESPECIALLY web browsers, and any MICROSOFT OFFICE component (but preferably everything else too)

Ya i have killed off many progs. I dont mind the low FPS as it only takes 24FPS for the eye to get fluid movement. I was just wondering why the FPS here seem to drag low. was wondering if it was just me or maybe something in the settings their not allowing us to shut off. Like ex. DX11. also with needing .NET to play i dont know what engine their using if that was a factor sure its probably a ubisoft creation. And also since its been mentioned can we actually get a copy of the reccomended config

EDIT: If ya can find me a good mobile Gcard that will work with my config mobo: HP 1641 on the cheap i will happily pull this laptop apart pci express got 2 slots on my intergrated hd 4250

I can visually notice the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS. Same with 60 FPS and 120 FPS. The human eye can detect more than you think! :)

First, try lowering your resolution a bit. Yes it makes the game look less sharp, but resolution is THE BIGGEST killer of GPU performance. For example; I can play this game at 1920x1200 at a solid 60 FPS but if I switch to all three of my monitors at 5760x1200 it goes WAAAAY down.

Check out the GRO Performance Guide if you haven't already. Might help a bit.

Also, lowering the pre-rendered frames in your graphics card settings might help a bit. My is set to 3 by default (nvidia). Might cause mouse lag issues if it is too low though.
