Okay so I have been playing WOW and Battlefield 2142 with their graphics up in high med or highest setting  and they have been playing out just fine. however i try to play Conan on its lowest of the lowest settings and i get 4 or 8 fps and i hate it..  I have 250 harddrive space 2048 mb ram  running a core2 duo prosessor and have an nvidia 8400 graphics(256mb)..  i went to the nvidia web page and looked for about an hour and downloaded a bunch of crap that didnt work cause it cant recognise my card ..  i know i need the new drivers for my card  but i annot find them anywhere...  CAn anyone shed some light on me and tell me what to do to get this game to run alot better, yea my system is not the greatest but its good enough to play aoc   my brother has a much shittier system and he gets at least 30 fps

The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

upgrade your graphic card to at least a 8600 nvidia w/ 512k or better yet an 8800 512k gt since they are pretty much affordable now with the 9800 series out. You should see a considerable difference.

Only thing you can do is consider getting/building a PC for gaming. Laptops rock for thier portability, but suck because games out pace tech faster than anything.

Yes the 8400 is a poor gamming card but he should still be able to run AoC on the lowest settings with better than 8fps,m8 can you post the rest of your specs like your os so we can see what else you have going and not going for you.

Here to end your arguments.

One of the best and cheapest cards out, I dont know your comp specs so see if it will work out. May wana get a replacement plan just in case, this thing can heat up alot.

No such thing as luck, just believing in it is what makes it real to you and really...thats all you need.

Im on nobodies' side but my own.
