Incomprehensible performance problem
Hi there,I played The Witcher on my ancient computer with a resolution of 1280x1024, and graphical options between middle and high. The game worked fine even on the 1.2 patch.My configuration was :- AMD Sempron 3000+- 1,5 GB DDRam PC3200- NVIDIA GeForce 7600GT OC edition- Samsung SpinPoint 7200 rpm 16moNow that I have a new Laptop, I tried The Witcher on it, only with the 1.2 patch.My configuration :- AMD Turion 64 X2 (Mobile) 1,9GHZ- 2 GB DDRam2- NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS- HDD 5400 rpmAnd my game run better on the ancient computer than this one...With my laptop, the game slows down even in 800x600 with all the option on middle.... I don't think this is normal, I downloaded one of the latest nvidia driver (modified for my laptop) and I have configurated the AMD dual core patchs for windows.When I run the game, the first core is always at 100% and the second between 5 and 10 % at his capacity.And even with all the options on low, there are little freezes constantly... This isn't really freezes but, when Geralt run, every 1,2 or 3 seconds the game speed up and slow down in less than a second, especially in the city.I'm in the chapter two, and when I go to the forest, the game realy slow down, I don't know why... my computer is better than the ancient x( !!!Is this my Hard Drive Disk ? Or the CPU ?... This can't be my graphical cards I think. Maybe... I got some graphical errors in cut scenes, sometimes the game freez and then it continues with flashy colors, like if my video card was too hot.
