Hey guys!

So, I've had this problem for a long while now, but haven't been arsed to do anything with it..
My computer is really slow while gaming, and I have no idea why. Running on a solid 8GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 560M it's supposed to atleast pack some power. Atleast enough to run games from 2007. But it can't.

The FPS drops inn a ridiculous fashion, and I haven't been able to play games on my computer for ages. It's "World at war at lowest graphics is unplayable" kind of bad. Running Win7 as you probably guessed. I have no idea if it's hardware or software related. My drivers are running the latest version, and nobody has been able to help me yet. Anyone have any ideas?

You're probably right. Anyways try decreasing that and also any other demanding task like lighting/shading. If all else fails you can always play at a lower resolution in a window.

Whooops, didn't make that the answer on purpose, new to the site, soz.

Well, I am trying to play games from 2007 on the lowest graphics settings to no avail.
Everything of Anti-aliasing, VSync and the likes is off!
