Lillith Hapmouche Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 You're running FreeDOS? The specs are ok, pretty much the "bread-and-butter" laptop config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all depends on expectations. In one computer I use, I have a GTX 960 2 GB desktop card that runs SL well enough to have shadows enabled most of the time. It's real limitation is only having 2 GB video RAM. If anything is weak in the laptop specs, I say it's the CPU, but that's going to be the case with most laptops anyway. Laptop processors often have a relatively low frequency compared to their desktop counterparts. While they do have high boost frequencies, they can't maintain them for very long due to thermal constraints. SL is very much limited by its single core performance. That being said, I think the laptop if fine. It should get great framerates with Advanced Lighting enabled and shadows off. For occasions where one wants to take nice photos, the shadows can be turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to have all of the graphics on the highest settings all the time, including shadows. I sometimes forget not everyone is like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
