so i have been messing around with a bunch of settings in SC2 and on my computer to increase the performance and ive been able to get my frame rate up to 28-31 FPS at the beginning haven't really seen how far it will drop once i max out armies anyway for me to test this quickly?

I'm having to play with very poor resolution and settings all on low and i have to stop all of the nonessential processes but i think this can work.

man do i hate integrated graphics on this damn laptop. :/ or well at least i can play without hitting 1 frame rate....maybe.

and another question of topic. i need something to act as a good mouse pad until my paycheck comes in next week. any ideas?

always go for the win!

take off shadows completely.

you will have to go into variables.txt in your documents > Sc2 folder.

shadows=0 and GraphicsOptionShadowQuality=1

Ive done that already :/. maxing at 40 frame rate but still dropping to around 6-10 in big battles. but i can at least call down storms and force fields when i need them unlike at 1 frame rate, and everyone knows without force fields protoss army is basically shot to hell.
always go for the win!
