Bad Company 2 has low FPS on my new laptop D:

swatspopgsg9 · 6-1-2011, 03:43

Can you guys help me? I've downloaded Bad Company 2 on my new laptop, it has over 200 GB of free space and when I play BC2, the frames per second is around 4 to 8 FPS... D:

I...I just can't believe it... The game was running on a new and fast laptop, and it's FPS lagging...

What can I do?

Bad Company 2 is a high end game and demand a high end video card to run smooth. Disk space and CPU have a relatively small impact. Unfortunately most laptops do not have a very good graphics cards and won't run the game very well.

Could you post more specs? Maybe the name of the video card?

I just found out there's advance graphics option...can it still help if I set everything to the lowest?

What if I downloaded the game on my old computer ( 7 years old) that has about 40 GB and pretty bad cpu (I use to play Crossfire on that, it was pretty slow, my FPS was 10s)... Would it be different for BC2 on there?

List your specs mate.

Neither 7 year old PC nor a new laptop without a decent video card (read: $3000 laptop) can run Battlefield Bad Company 2 decently.
It does not depend on free space on HDD. As long as you have some free space after installing the game (5gb usually will do), your HDD won't limit game's performance.

Try installing latest drivers for your laptop's video card, if its Nvidia made, go to
Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies
and if its AMD made go to
Global Provider of Innovative Graphics, Processors and Media Solutions | AMD
and search for video card drivers, your specific video card.
If your video card is made by Intel, or if its a graphics core built into CPU, don't expect demanding games to run well at all. They simply won't.
