You forgot to mention the most important thing, your discrete graphics card.

I got a similar laptop (slightly weaker), and the game works fine with low-medium settings. Can you paste the contents of crpg_beta_log.txt (it's in your Warband directory)?

For some reason it's using the Intel graphics card (integrated) instead of the NVIDIA one (discrete). I'll see if I can do something for next version.

He should try to update video drivers. Probably some issue with nVidia Optimus technology.

I'm having the same problem as well. Up-to-date drivers. Asking the programs (cRPGlauncher, mb_warband.exe, mb_warband_old.exe) in NVIDIA Control Panel to use the High-Performance NVIDIA processor, but no luck.

I'm on a laptop with i7-3610 and GT 650M with Optimus. It seems that my dedicated GPU isn't in use, as my laptop is expelling heat barely above body temperature. When I play without WSE2 on Dx7 and Dx9, my fan and heat sink run noticeably hotter and faster/noisier, but with higher and consistent frame rates. ~30-90 FPS with WSE2, ~100+ FPS without. Load textures on demand turned OFF for both. Both on Lowest settings at 1366x768.

Still very playable, but would love the extra fps, especially during large battles.

Edit: I'm thinking it could be possible that the GPU is still being used, and might be some other weird problem. The frame rates are actually really close on low population servers.  .____.

Same here. Fps on 30 - 50 max and very laggy. (with normal version on 70-90)
I think I have the same notebook maybe less RAM, when at home I'll check. And yes Nvidia GeForce 2gb
Playing with low settings 1280x720. Turned off load texture on demand.

Acutally, he fixed it a long time ago (when I had this problem during beta), but it seems it reappeared.
