[RikKy =FL=]

hey guys i just bought a sony nr series notebook with windows vista, but i can run dod, it lags really bad, anyone have an idea what can i do?

vista sucks thats your problem lol...
nothing really you can do besides get a different os like xp pro or something like that

 

[wasawiki.]

Maybe it's not that good for fps games

 

[Legit^]

wat are ur comp specs? and vista is better than xp u just have to have a comp that can handle its awesomeness

its a dual core 1.86 ghz, 2gbs of ram, its supposed to run well

What kind of lag is it? Graphical or Network?

 

[RikKy =FL=]

graphical, i cant even walk on a map, i tried to low down all visual options and still lags

 

[}{awkins]

what kind of graphics card do you have? and have you updated your drivers lately?

Hmm Sony apparently doesn't make the NR series anymore. Any shot at getting the full model number. If I remember it should be printed on a sticker on the bottom of the notebook and ingrained into the monitor bezel.

Barring that, I need to run a program called dxdiag and tell me what the name of the device under the tabisplay 1 is. If you don't have the "run" option on your start menu, bring up the task manager and run it by clicking on "New Task" and typing in dxdiag.

it says vgn-nr430e and the graphics card its a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family and as far as i know the drivers are up to date. besides i miss my old dinosaur!!!

it could be the video what type do you have in it and try to put the settings on low make sher your video settings are not screwed up go though the check list until you find out whats wrong with it your system specs are fine just sounds like your video cant handle it..

"Well there's your problem!"

You ain't playin' games on that buddy, hate to tell ya. Older SM1.1 games and maybe some SM 2.0 games...but you are not going to get DoD:S to run well on that even at the lowest possible settings. The IGP in the P965 is equivalent to a striped down Nvidia 440MX.

i've noticed that some games that do quite well on xp run really sloooooooooowly on vista (in my case Simpsons' Hit & Run)
also i've heard u can download directX 9 runtime files for use in vista to make some games run. obviously vista has dx10. some games (like scarface) won't run on dx10.
