My laptop lag

In beamng drive my laptop lags while the setting are at lowest for shader and lighting and normal for everything else.
SSAO is off. Yet I only get 6 fps in industrial area. My windows rating is 3.8 but after the 3.8 rating which was for graphics.
The second worst rating is 5.2. Anyone have any tips to improve graphics? My driver is an AMD Radeon mobility hd series 4200 (it is up to date). I was wondering if anyone who is reading this May know a way to improve graphics. My ram is perfect and Im running on a dual core processor (2.5 ghz). I was wondering if there are any tips to improving performance. If there is hardware available for laptop please tell me what it is.

Thanks in advance,
Ray

 

New PC.

You cannot upgrade CPU or GPU in a laptop and your machine is simply not powerful enough.

 

Simple solution...build yourself a gaming pc...a laptop cannot drive BeamNG like a pc would drive it..

 

DONT PLAY ON A LAPTOP!(says the guy who also plays on a laptop )

 

if you absolutely positively 100% need to play on a laptop (like me) than lowering the resolution helped me greatly (i get 25-20 fps)

 

Thanks amagaara my framerate has doubled and I can even record beamng drive at 17 fps ( I can record with fps 2 times better than before when I was not recording!)I used to get 4fps while recording. although when in fullscreen mode there is black on both sides but it doesnt lag (Im used to it because in flight simulator x this always happens. Even with max res!
this has really helped!

 

you are welcome

 

WRONG, you can easily upgrade a CPU or GPU for laptops, why do you think stores even sell GPU for laptops? Look up a video on youtube or something...

But i do agree, get a new computer- that system is nowhere near good enough for beamng smooth gameplay..

 

Laptop graphics cards are usually welded on the motherboard. Unless it was some really expensive laptop, such as an MSI, I doubt you could replace it.

 

Because most dont sell GPU's for laptops. How about you go and do some research, you will find that laptops with removable CPU or GPU are *incredibly* rare. The dell studio line *used* to have socketed CPU's, I think a few lenovos do and as already mentioned MSI do. Most use BGA packaged CPU and GPU's directly soldered to the motherboard, unless you have a full reflow station you have no chance in hell at replacing it.

 

Rare? Absolutely every single laptop i have looked at have that support... Be it Asus - HP or whatver.

 

its a higher end system by toshiba. Its graphic card was the worst you could get for a laptop (at least 2 years ago). I suppose I could get a new higher end graphics card. Considering mine is terrible. And yes it has a gpu.

 

Funny, I had 2 laptops open over the past few days and would you look at that, neither of them had socketed processors.... A toshiba satellite A200 and a dell inspiron 1525 if you want to be specific.

Industry standard is to use non socketed processors. A) reduces cost marginally, B) reduces size, C) allows the ground plane of the motherboard to act as a heat sink which would otherwise be insulated by a traditional CPU socket. A isn't so important. But when you are aiming for a mobile device, B and C become paramount.

 

No, the HD4200 is among the worst graphics cards available, even when it was new. It's an integrated chipset that is actually worse than some (albeit more recent) integrated Intel GPUs. Whoever told you it's one of the best was lying. The best of the HD4xxx mobile series was the HD4870.

 

BeamNG is very heavy on your CPU, not graphics card, so changing the graphics options won't do much. Laptops are terrible for gaming, slow CPUs and below par graphics card, all packed into a small thin box which is great for overheating....

As for hardware for a laptop, laptops are mostly stuck with what they have. You can build a good custom budget gaming rig for $1k. Can play everything but the craziest games on max easy, and have a much more powerful CPU then any laptop can dream of.

 

Many laptops are bad for gaming. I run BeamNG at max settings (including postFX and SSAO) at 30 solid fps on DRI, and I use a Lenovo Ideapad Y510p.

 

you dont NEED to upgrade but i'd recommend it, and remember, you dont need to spend like $1500 or something. watch this video.

great stuff for 350 just ask around and see what fps people get with a a10 5800k amd apu

 

Again, BeamNG is hard on your CPU, not GPU. So SSAO, postFX, lighting, shadows, wouldn't really have an effect on your FPS if you're bottleneck is your CPU. This is called, "CPU bound", a great example would be PlanetSide 2. No matter what video settings you used you got the same FPS. Fortunately for us PC gamers, the PS4 is rather lacking in power, so now they are going crazy trying to optimize the game so it will run on the PS4. But on the unfor

As for my previous wording, I didn't say it was impossible, I just said terrible. 90 fps, vs 30........ 140 fps then drops to about 60 in ridiculously large battles (before the first optimization patch), PS2 vs probably around 15, maybe 30 with the new optimizations.

 

Oh my god would you please just drop it?

OP asked how he could increase his FPS and the 1st response was to "get a PC" which is not a good advice if you just throw it at anyone saying they have low fps and then the fight begins when he says you cant upgrade laptop parts (which clearly you can add external gpu's and whatnot anyways the guy had his response and i hope one of the moderators locks this thread down because its just silly and completely off topic of what op posted
