So, I just got back into AA (Assist) a month or so ago. Using a junky old laptop (Hp Pavilion dv4000 Pentium M 725\512 DDR2 RAM 64 MB onboard Intel Graphics) and the best I could get was max 30 fps. Not very helpful in an FPS.  A friend gave me a Toshiba (C855D-S5100 dual core, 4Ghz ram, windows 8 64bit and dedicated HD ATI graphicssomething like 512Mb onboard) with a busted screen.  So out comes the desktop monitor.  Now, AA is luckyto run 22-25 FPS and gets down to around 10 when running or in a firefight. Its a nearly new laptop because it was in a closet for like 6 months after screen cracked, ran 2 different antivirus program scans, hardly any programs (apps) installed aside from what came on it from the factory. How can this be? And yes I turn ALL the graphics options to lowest, including 800x600 instead of the 1900x*** it starts in. Any ideas? Something Im just unaware of about Windows 8 or a 64 bit OS? Thanks in advance for your time.
