Hello,
I just recently bought a new laptop specifically for school in the fall but mostly for gaming. The only game I really play is World of Warcraft, and I do raids so I wanted a computer that could handle intense graphics without giving <25ish FPS.
This is the laptop I got, after a friend's recommendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834131117&cm_re=rf711-_-34-131-117-_-Product
Reviews on Newegg as well as what I've heard from a few other people say that this computer should be able to blow WoW out of the water and run very smooth with even the highest settings, but I currently am getting EXTREMELY low performance (maybe 30 FPS just sitting in a major city on the lowest possible settings). If I even try to set it to "good" settings (the middleground) it goes sub 10 FPS and I can hardly move. This just doesn't make sense. My desktop computer gets much better performance and has worse parts than this laptop, especially when it comes to the graphics card and processor, which are what matters with WoW from what I've heard.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? I downloaded the graphics driver right after receiving it in the mail today off of Samsung's website (the one dated February 25th of this year), which i think is the most recent one but maybe I was wrong. Additionally it only comes with 4GB ram which I haven't upgraded yet but I don't think that could cause such a drastically bad performance. The only other thing I can think of is that instead of installing WoW, I simply copied the program files onto an external harddrive from my desktop, then copied those files into my new laptop. Would that cause bad performance in any way?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
