Happy New Year everyone!
Just recently I bought a Dell 15 5551 ubuntu laptop, intel pentium n3540, 4 gb ram, 500gb hdd. I installed windows 8 on this laptop. Now I installed pes 2015 on it but it was soooooo slow , it wasn't even playable. It took like 30 seconds to complete a single pass (My previous laptop was a pentium 2gb ram and ran this game without problems)
SO I got winning eleven 9 instead and it was slow too even when I set the quality to low like cmon A hp 250 g4 witha celeron and 2 gb ram runs this game with no issues :/
And the graphic adapter is Microsoft basic display adapter with 256mb memory
Please I need help as I'm so confused. Thanks

I then tried some of the latest drivers I had downloaded earlier from Intel that refused to install and one of them with the same number as the one from the link above worked this time, so it was basically an upgrade. I restarted my laptop again and found that my graphics memory had increased to 2gb and the games, HDMI and brightness worked fine. So relieved!
