Just don't worry, your computer will be fine for Anniversary :tmb: , you'll be also able to play Legend in Next Gen :)

[TRF]

No i'm not.... Well, i can, but it is just soooo slow... It's no fun when it is that slow... Can i do something about that... That i can play legend in next-gen, but faster... I turned everthing else OFF and it still runs slow.....

Hey TRF!

Probably need to upgrade your graphics card! ;)

You are running on a laptop with a fairly basic graphics card/chip. You will not be able to properly play it. And due to the fact that you are on a laptop, you will not be able to (well, very hard to) upgrade it.

The best thing to do is get a decent gaming PC, laptops don't game very well unless you have a top of the line one.

True! :D

Yes, it happens, just reduce the screen resolution of the game and It will be better ;) , and don't forget to download the second path for trl :)

And as Jamie said the laptops aren't really made for gaming . ;)

That's not true at all, the only graphics problem laptops pose is upgradeability - but a good gaming laptop is not hard to find.

[EscondeR]

But they won't be price worthy ;)

[TRF]

So when i upgrade my graphics card, i CAN play legend on next-gen???? Or am i still not getting it????

[Simulation]

You are still not getting it......

You can't upgrade your laptop with a new graphics card.
