Piss Poor Performance in GRAW 2 Demo

[psydude20]

Has anyone else experienced terrible performance while playing the GRAW 2 demo? This laptop handles oblivion just fine at 1280x720 and max settings, so I honestly have no idea why it's running this game so poorly.

Because its a console port...

And its pretty fucking demanding.

I figured that, but I'm struggling to figure out why: the graphics aren't that good.

Looks pretty good on the Xbox.

What are the specs of your laptop?

Because its a console port...

They share some art assets, but they use different engines and were developed by different teams.

As for your performance, I have no idea. The demo ran fine on my system, which isn't exactly a powerhouse anymore. Ran better than the first GRAW, actually.

I never knew that, how strange. Anyway, that game is old news...

What are the specs of your laptop?
Intel Core2Duo T7200 @ 2.0 GHz
2 GB 667 MHZ DDR2
GeForce Go 7900 GS 256 MB DDR

And yeah, I'm running Vista, but that would only make for a minor performance difference. This is enormous.

I think it may be your video card. I believe Graw2 runs best with a 512mb video card. You also might want to check to make sure you don't have to many background tasks going on i.e. antivirus programs and other resource hungry programs.

The full version runs a lot better than the demo
