Hi guys here is the situation.
I have an old notebook I use as a media center, but sometimes my nephew wants to play some emulators on it.
The notebook is hooked up to a 720p tv.
The specs are: Intel Core i7 2860qm 4 cores / 8 threads 2.5-3.6 Ghz
Nvidia GT540M 1 gb 672 Mhz core Clock. Drivers 391.35 (most up to date available)
8 gb DDR3 RAM @1600 Mhz
128 gb SSD
Compatible Wii Mote
Windows 10 x64 genuine
What Happens? Everything works fine if I play at native resolution. 60 solid FPS. If I try to scale it up at 720p everything drops around 50 fps and the audio becomes slow. So the game looks good (no anti aliasing or other graphical upgrades) but it's kind of unplayable even at 50fps, to me. Vsync on and off does not make any difference.
I can only play it with open GL since this old GPU is not DX12 or Vulkan compatible. Even if I try to select DX11 I get some errors and heavy glitches.
I upgraded this notebook from a 2630qm to a 2860qm hoping that those extra 600 Mhz, bigger cache and some more bandwidth could have made the difference, but nothing changed under the gaming aspect.
Is the low clock of the GPU the problem? I have checked with MSI Afterburner and the memory is not even close to full.
