Should i really be lagging?

[Dot Cong]

I just purchased and installed Fable: The Lost Chapters on my PC a couple days ago and at first i maxed out most of the settings and it was fine until i started getting into areas with more textures, then it started lagging. After that i dropped some of the sliders down a bit and it was OK (not great) until i started this one quest where i had to kill of bunch of Hobbes with an NPC, and it was lagging like crazy. I honestly thought i would be able to run Fable on max settings but i guess i was wrong. Anyone know what i could do to improve performance?

Which machine are you running this on? Laptop or desktop?

 

[Dot Cong]

Desktop, at 1600x1050.

Well no wonder, your video card really isn't all that great, and your running it at that high of a resolution? Turn down the resolution, I'm sure it'll do better.

Figures, i like my high reses lol.

 

[freestyler105]

Haha oh well they're pretty, but there's a huge performance hit.

 

[Dot Cong]

Yeah, i'll drop it down a step or two then raise the sliders back up and see what kind of performance i get.

Probably, i'll do something like that and see what happens, i'm at work right now so i don't have access.
