QUOTE(jabelix @ Aug 2 2010, 03:58 PM) Intel Core™ I3-350M (2.26Ghz, 4Threads, 3M Cache) Smooth gameplay would depend on your resolution and settings.1GB Ati Radeon HD 5470 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz u guys think this is good enuff to play multiplayer? lag free of coz......at least 99% of the time... Lag is determined by the reliability of ISP not by laptops. |

QUOTE(MikeX @ Aug 2 2010, 04:51 PM) Yeah... mine one after playing campaign for 30 mins or so, felt heaty on the palm rest area of the laptop even I am using a cooler. Perhaps I should lower the resoluton to 720 so can play longer Usually it shut down by itself or your game just crash / freeze. By the way, will the GPU burns if too heaty? |

QUOTE(MikeX @ Aug 2 2010, 05:31 PM) Hi Kianweic, wow... better check the temp when playing... need to monitor it closely. Thanks for the reply bro. For laptops, I am not sure whether you can control the fan speed.Download Rivatuner and give a test. Make sure you don't simply use the advance options. Just adjust the fan speed when necessary. |

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Aug 2 2010, 09:48 PM) I have a feeling that 9600M GT notebook graphic card is better than my G105m....though i bought my laptop September last year...not even one year yet What is your definition of best configuration for your laptop?but I can only play SC2 with 1024x768 resolution with graphic settings on medium, terrain ultra, all high, except everything low on shaders, shadows, lighting, physics. 50-80 fps when playing single player campaign, or building my base 30-40 fps when got lots of units can someone put the best configuration for my laptop? |

QUOTE(MikeX @ Aug 3 2010, 10:35 AM) Hi Kianweic: I installed a temp monitoring software "Real temp" and it shows normal temp of GPU is 50-51 degrees while after playign the game for an hour, I checked and found that temp is 72 degrees. Is it ok for the GPU? Do you have any idea of the danger zone temp for GPU? Seems ok for GPU. 72c for load is quite ok. If worry just put a notebook cooler (good ones), and Evercool exhaust fan for notebooks.By the way, where to see the frame rates of SC2? Thank you for your help. HI Gormaz: I am using HP HDX18 notebook. To see frame rates in SC2, press ctrl + alt + F. Or you could download FRAPS. |

QUOTE(wilsonphua @ Aug 3 2010, 02:21 PM) Best graphic settings for my laptops so that I can play the game without lag. Takes a lot of experimenting.But anyway, I'm quite glad that my game doesnt lag and it is not the lowest settings. Only lags a bit when there are too much units. Just make sure the game can run above 60fps at almost all the time. Then you won't experience any lag. |

QUOTE(ahtiven @ Aug 9 2010, 07:33 PM) 1366x768 Probably that resolution is pretty rare, 1366x768 thus not supported.but you can only choose 1280x760 in-game. i dont know why though. Will give that a try when I am free. |
