Ok so I have a problem/question. My machine is nothing special. In fact it's pretty crappy but it's all I can afford at the moment. Here goes lol ....
CPU: Intel Celeron D CPU 2.66Ghz
CPU Properties:
CPU Type Intel Celeron D, 2679 MHz
CPU Alias Prescott-256
CPU Stepping G1
Instruction Set x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3
Original Clock 2667 MHz
L1 Trace Cache 12K Instructions
L1 Data Cache 16 KB
L2 Cache 256 KB (On-Die, ECC, ATC, Full-Speed)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX
Mobo: Unknown lol - Motherboard Properties:
Motherboard ID 63-131-0000010-00101111-013007-VIA$4CDVT131_4COREDUAL-VSTA BIOS P1.40
Motherboard Name Unknown
Memory: 2x 1GB Corsair DDR2 667Mhz
----To the point. My issue is Starcraft 2 is suggesting everything on Ultra except shaders and lighting on low. And actually if the setting above those 2 is on ultra, lighting cannot be put at low. But that's besides the point. I set my graphics to LOW. Everything. On big campaign missions and in anything 2v2+ I get a majorly bad framerate. I mean in the big battles it's less than 1 fps. And at BEST its 12.
What can I do to solve this problem? Do I need to upgrade? I don't understand why it would give me suggested settings of Ultra and I can't even run it on low.
