need advise - silvers46 - 03-19-2012
Ok got a really good deal on a Dell laptop it's a l702x specs are
Core i5 2410m 2.3 GHz 2.9 turbo (I know I get 2.7GHz in dual core mode)
nvidia 550m 1GB
6GB 1333 mhz ram
Should I be able to play games with good FPS or moderately low cuz I'm getting 50-60 on Mario kart 1 player but when I play 2 player I get 35-45 and dkcr I get 40. I have it exactly setup like the performance guide says on 3.0 but I'm assuming my CPU it's to low. If anyone knows done tricks to get a little more umph it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more info.

It's normal
40% slowdown with 2 players
55% slowdown with 3 players
70% slowdown with 4 players
A Laptop simply can't cut it . i5 2500k @ 5.0Ghz might run full speed with 4 players
