Thanks for the update on the 9400M, Prozen. As FragKrag said, though, the game detects your hardware and sets it default accordingly, so I seriously doubt that its on ultra.

I would really like to know what settings and resolution (and framerate too but I know thats asking a lot) your friend is actually running, if you get the chance!

I think KOFGokuon said that!

Re-Play- those are not integrated cards! The Nvidia 240M is comparable to the ATi 4650M (which should run the game fine at medium)

I NEED HELP DESPERATELY.

I been playing sc2 since blizzard send me the beta key 2-3 days ago, also, i really SUCK at computers, and everyone's help so far hasnt done much, i have a 'custom build'

Intel R Core(TM) 2 CPU
6300 @ 1.86Ghz
1.59Ghz. 2GB of RAM
ATI Radeon X1650 PRO....

soooo starcraft 2 was running like shit, my friend said it could be the RAM or the Vid Card, so i upgraded both:

now i have 3 GB of RAM and a GeForce 9800GT graphics... didn't really help much at all...

my stacraft 2 runs: 30 FPS (at the start) goes down to 15ish @ midgame... lategame it goes down to 5fps and in battles it goes down as low as 2 (YES TWO) fps... so i don't know what to do... please help me someone.

ig.catZ, what type of ram do you have? and is your processor still 1.86
im guessing with the spec you listed your running an older system? imo i would get 3 or 4 gigs of ram of ddr3 and the new video card is good if its bigger than 512 mb and atleast ddr2.

So please list your specs in more detail so i can give you better advice as to what to replace to be able to play.
to give you an example, I recently build a new computer for sc2 and other things. and it looks like this

i5 650 3.2 Ghz process
4 gigs ddr3 dual channel
nvidia 9500 ddr2 1gig video card
and i play at the highest resolution that game offers me 1900x1200 32 bit and everything is on ultra
and my fps is around 30-45

its a dual core, it says
6300 @ 1.86Ghz (idk what that means)
and then the next line says 1.59 Ghz
got 3GB or ram DD2 and my card has 1gig also
my computer is about 3 years old but when it was built is was pretty darn good i guess, i go 3 gigs of ram ddr2 i dont think i can do ddr3 cuz my motherboard says ddr2

the game also offered me by default all the highest settings i guess because my video card is pretty decent but i changed them all to low to see if it'd work better but no luck whatsoever

seems like your processor is slow, but it should handle medium, have you tried closing all other programs? if not try to and save all necessary files and reinstall the os, there may be some regbots in your registry that is using your cpu and slowing your performance, in that case if you do reinstall the os be sure to format the hard drive. IMO i personally like to work off windows 7 since the cpu and GPU (video card) talk directly. but if you don't have it or cannot get access to it, use xp, vista sucks for gaming, its too graphically demanding for an os. with the specs you listed you should handle windows seven nicely.

From what you've told me you should handle everything on medium no problem, my guess is you have some hidden bots that are doing processing for third parties. IF you don't want to do that try this.


start sc2, then go into your task manager, and under the processor tab, turn everything off except the nvvsc,exe winlogon,exe and the csrss,exe and of course the starcraft 2.exe and when i say everything i mean everything including windows explorer. (its fine you can start explorer up again by going to new task and typing explorer.exe

At that point your just running sc2 and thats it, so if its still slow you probably have some bot doing extra processing for a third party and you should reinstall the os imo.

ok i went more in detail here, i don't understand half this crap but did some research sorry i suck at computers:

processor: x86 Family 6 model 15 Stepping 6 Genuine Intel ~1866Mhz (it lists the same item twice i guess because its a dual core? idk) i understand this means 1.86 Mhz i think

Physical Memory: 3.072.00MB
Available Physical Memory: 2.44 GB
Total Virtual Memory: 2.00GB
Available virtual memory: 1.96GB
System Model: 671T-M
ATI Radeon X1650 PRO < video card
(windows XP)

I do believe I meet all the minum requirements but idk why it will lag so much and go as low as 2!!! FPS in lategame battles, averaging 7 mid game (and this is with all settings on low and resolution on minimum... i don't know what else to try I already upgraded my card and added an extra GB of RAM just for this game and its still being quite evil to me, i have the worst luck when it comes to this kinds of things)

is there anything besides the requirements that I can do to fix this issue? I reformated not long ago and its free of viruses and malaware or anything but im really desperate I don't know what else to try, even cleaned it with compressed Air... could it be a monitor issue? when i first upgraded my video card and opened sc2 it said "out of range" and when i opened WC3 it took forever to open, then i played a bit with the settings and the screen resolution/hz and it worked but its still lagging me like insane PLEASE SAVE ME

ps: how do i reinstall the os? just format my comp?
ps2: thank you heil for the help don't give up on me plz!

lol its all good, well to reinstall the os you need to go into the bios change the boot sequence to start from the dvd or cd drive once there just put in the os disc and let it start and follow as it goes. as for your monitor, what monitor are you using? flat screen or some old monitors from the 90s? lol Bots are not viruses or malware there something else entirely, its very difficult to detect them and you need a regifinder program to find them because they like to hide in the registry and it is a pain to go in there.

So i doubt its your monitor im guessing your hard drive is sata and so is your dvd/cd rom ? i would personally do a clean install and see how it looks then, though save the important stuff before you do!

@ catz your cpu has overclock potential so i hope you know a friend who knows about this stuff.

Right now your 1.8ghz are slowing down your graphic card and rams.

You went from a ATI card to a Nvidia card. These cards use different DRIVERS. You need to clean your old Drivers because Nvidia drivers will not run so well with ATI driver on your computer at the same time.

Here is the directions on deleting and installing new drivers:

+ Show Spoiler +
Download Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper and install it.
1) R/Click My Computer
2) Select Manage> Device Manager
3) Expand Display Adapter> R/Click NVIDIA GeForce xxxx/ATI Radeon xxxx
4) Select Uninstall> Confirm Device Removal> OK
5) Restart Computer
6) Enter Safe Mode..Tap F8 during Post
7) Once in Safe Mode> Run Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper > Select nVidia (not nForceChipset/For ATI select ATI, ATI CCC, ATI WMD)> start Cleaning
8) Do step 7 Twice with Driver Cleaner Pro - With Driver Sweeper do it once.
9) Restart Computer> Cancel out of New Found Hardware Wizard
10) Navigate to the Location of your Drivers and Install.
good luck have fun!

Pape I appreciate that! but I already cleaned the drivers before I installed my new video card, that's what they told me to do... also I read on another thread that the new Nvidia Drivers were having some trouble with sc2 and recommended to go back to the old ones, so i did that also

no then its prob not your os if you reformatted 2 weeks ago, yea pape could be on the money with the drivers, try to update your drivers. go to ATI website and in the support area there is a place to download the drivers, and what Teejing said will defintly help, find a friend someone you know and ask them to help you overclock your processor, cause thats not something you want to try by yourself, you want to know how to do that. start asking friends family etc.. if your in college there will be someone who knows what to do.

polygamy, I would put more ram cause max use that up. but other than that it should run on atleast medium imo, but im not entirely familiar with macs so don't go with what i say its just an opinion.

Catz, check your fans see if there hitting a wire, maybe your power supply is a bit messed up or something is loose inside. how big is your power supply? how many watts?
