Do you know the exact model of your graphics card? If so, do a Google search like "Overlocking <Your Graphics Card Here>". Because mine is an ATi card, I use ATi Tool. It works with all ATi and Nvidia cards, and I believe it may work with other manufacturers and models as well. If you want to check this tool out, it can be downloaded fromThis Site. It's easy to install, setup, and use. A few of my friends are now using it on their desktops, and showing some great results. If you're going to overclock your laptop though, I recommend only moving the sliders on the tool in 5 - 10 increments, and then setting those new settings to your clock speed. Make sure you have the 3D Model showing. Keep an eye on this as you make your increases, until it starts to show anomalies. These appear as lines and other graphical artifacts appearing on the image. This is generally where you stop increasing, and drop back down to the last anomaly free setting.

When you overclock a laptop graphics card, be aware that you're not going to get as high of a results as you would in a desktop card, simply because most desktop cards have a higher overclock threshold and better cooling systems. Hope it works well for you Epic, I'd like to see you more on Dust2 if it works well for you .

Hey guys, i'm new to Insurgency also. So far the game is a lot of fun but it takes some getting used to the iron sights instead of a crosshairs.

i got it working...finally...but it was extremely jumpy...i did manage to accidentally kill someone though...luckily they were on the other team...it seems like something that i would really enjoy had it not been jumpy....

The game's pretty jumpy for me on all the maps except for Dust2, so don't give up entirely. Just try each of the servers out, and see if you can get a decent frame-rate on one of them. I think the reason my frames/second are so much better on Dust2 over the others, is the lack of environment and foliage...it's a smaller map, with a lot less clutter and detail, so your card may be able to handle that one a bit smoother.

Glad to see you were finally able to get in and at least give it a go, and sorry that I wasn't able to respond sooner when you asked if ATi Tool had a guide. As I'm sure you've seen, it doesn't. But you can usually find forums where people have posted their experiences with the program and how they set things up pretty easy just by searching Google. Anyway, good luck with tweaking and such, and hopefully finding a way to have the game be more playable for you, and glad I could at least somewhat help.
