Hi....
I just got call of duty black ops 2... i have a medium end laptop...
I have a strange problem with fps.... when m looking at the sky or looking to direction with no action or enemies, my fps is great and smooth.... but when i turn to enemies, smoke or action, my fps drops and game lags.....
Help please. Waiting impatiently! !!!
 
Solution
Framerate goes up when you look at the sky because the GPU has less work to do there, simple as that...

Most of the times skies in every game are just properly placed static images in a particular area and at a particular distance, so that they can give the illusion of being real; they do not require any extra "rendering muscle", so to speak.
Important details tho, such as surfaces, special effects, physics, etc...all those weight more or less on the GPU and the CPU.

Nowadays, integrated cards below the Intel HD 4400 or A8-A10 APUs are pretty much only good for Facebook games, unless you plan on compromising with details and resolutions by going down to the rock bottom...
So no, besides doing that, you probably have no other way to...
That laptop cannot play the game well. You are lucky you can play the game a bit. 2GB ram is too low and HD 3000 is not exactly what we would use for gaming.

Try lowering your resolution and preset to minimum and try. Maybe you will achieve playable framerates..

Well... i knew i would get this answer .....
But i have searched and some of the guys with high end pcs are facing this prob. ...
How's this possible that fps keeps changing. .. its not stable. .. i can play with 20 fps... but with stability. ... When i am not in action , fps increases to evem 35.... but suddenly loweres to 10 when i start shooting enemies.... i have played mw3 with medium settings,30 fps. ... farcry 3 with low settings 23 fps. ...
If any of the true gamers is reading my posts, he can understand what m trying to say :O
 
We understand what you are saying; you posted this in the Gaming forum because we know. The reason there is more FPS when there is less action because ( I think ) there are a lot less processes to processed by your GPU, but since your GPU is not powerful it will lag as there are a lot more processes to be handled during a firefight.

I don't know how you ran Far Cry 3 at 23 FPS at low even, must have been a super small resolution and ultra low quality...

So no, besides doing that, you probably have no other way to improve the performance on your hardware, not for black ops nor for anything recent, really...

As far as BO2 is concerned, medium to high end machines have no issues with it, or at least none that directly relate to hardware, if powerful enough. I'm obviously only one and don't pretend to speak for the mass, but I believe I can still provide a decent opinion.
According to Steam, I've spent more than 800 hours in that game, most of which were played with a downclocked i5 2500 (3GHz instead of 3.3, TurboBoost off), a 1GB HD 6870 and 4GB of 1333mhz RAM; always kept over 60 fps at high settings on a 1080p resolution, and it wasn't even such of an high-end system either...

If you want something fast paced that can run on your laptop, i suppose you could try playing Unreal Tournament 2004. It won't look good, but it should play smooth...

GPU AMD Radeon 6570
CPU AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.30 Ghz
8 GB of RAM.
I runed the game perfectly at max with 1600x1080 resolution at 80 fps.
Now i have around 25-35 fps. This started after the Steam updated at march.
