Hello, I have a Pavilion dv6700 and I'd like to reduce a bit the little lag that affects 8vs8 fights, I want to solve this problem.

My connection is fast, I download at 0.8 MB per second with bit torrent, so I think that the problem is of my graphic card.

My processor is quite good - Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 GHz

Ram is good - 4GB DDR2

But the graphic card quite poor - NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS (256MB)

- Should I try to overclock my graph card?

- Should I try to run DAoC on Windows XP mode? (Got Windows 7 now)


Already playing with no shades, old trees, etcetc.

Any suggestions?

Hm the graphic Card with 256MB Memory should be good enough. Ive played daoc from the beginning with Geforce 4 64MB, without problems.

Now i have a Laptop with teh same Processor and Ram thean yours and a Intel Grapic 4500 chip.....no problem with 1600x900 and all effects on

and yes i use win7 too

Well, it's weird.. I run Daoc on a similar laptop (2.0 ghz duo, 2 GB ram, 8600M GT 256MB) and I have no problems even with all shadows, trees etc.. And well, I use windows 7 too.

Maybe there is something running in background that slow down your computer? Have you updated your video drivers?

Its enough. I have 128mb graph and 3gb ram, and i dont have problems for play.

you should put a plain copy of windows on your computer. HP often ships their laptops and recovery discs overfilled with malware and junk software to eat up your process time. a simpler fix would be to turn on classic models. this cuts the client's memory footprint significantly and will make it stable even on 5 year old systems.

Bah it's really strange, this laptop had win xp before, I installed win7 on it, maybe it is overheating, will try to unscrew it and clean the dust inside and see if it works..

roll midgard and you'll play better

close all programs in background etc, that usually helps if i'm lagging
