I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place. I had posted this problem on another thread, but have not received much help. For the sake of convenience I will copy and paste what I put in the other forum:
I am having some issues with graphics on my current system. I used to play Planetside, and some other games, on my laptop with a second generation core i5 and 8gb ram. I found that over time, the low fps was just too much to handle, so I stopped playing it. A friend of mine told me about his system that could almost play Planetside 2 with everything ultra, but he usually had it on high. I don't know the exact specs of his desktop but I know he uses an amd a10 6700 with 4gb ram, no discrete graphics card. So, I decided to one up him and bought myself a system with the following specs:
WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache -WD10EZEX
Crucial Ballistix Sport Very Low Profile 8GB Single DDR3-1600 1.35V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory Module BLS8G3D1609ES2LX0
MSI Socket FM2/AMD A75/DDR3/SATA3&USB3.0/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard FM2-A75MA-E35
AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU for Desktops A10-6800K with Radeon HD 8670D (AD680KWOHLBOX)
Coolmax 600W 140mm Blue LED Fan Power Supply VL-600B (Black)
Please realize that I could not just overclock my laptop's processor, nor could I add any discrete graphics card to it.
I installed Windows 7 fine, loaded up Planetside and certainly had problems. I can't play on anything besides very low graphics, while my friend seems to have no problem on a lesser system. In the bios, I even turned on the automatic overclock. Does anyone know why I am having these problems? I know the game has a bad reputation of running on any system, but I should think I could at least do better than very low on everything. I do think, though, it is my system because when I compare other games I tried to my laptop, like Minecraft, the fps is generally the same (25fps on the desktop and the laptop), when it should be somewhere in the 100s on the desktop, here what I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtuCKn2inwE
I originally posted this problem on another forum and I received no help beyond that I "wasted my money... ect. ect. ect."
I don't believe that to be the case. AMD a series integrated graphics are supposed to be great integrated graphics that can play most games decently. Any help will be appreciated!
