I am using a Sony Vaio vpcf12jfx/b on Win7 Ult 64bit. I have a an i7, nvidia 330m, and 4GB of DDR3. I am trying to use an HDTV to watch a movie while I play Civ5 on my laptop. The video is incredibly laggy and its really annoying. Yes, I know that laptops are that powerful, and the 330M isn't that great but there has to be something. Are there any settings I can play around with on Win7 to fix it? Would buying 8GB of DDR3 help?
