Hi guys, I'm no that much into computing and stuff like that but I know things or two.. I recently gain acces to another computer I decided to try Dragon Age: Origins on it. The computer certaily isnt new, but it shouldn't be "that" bad either.. here are the most important specs:
- AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2,91 GHz
- 1,75 GB RAM
- ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
the thing is I installed Dragon Age, launched it and played on minimal graphics settings, no Anti-antilising, and maxed texture quality (or so to speak). But than I decided that maybe if I install new graphic drivers I could gain some performance. So I install new 9,12 Catalyst and well not right after that but around that time (I also tried to install TOSHIBA Dynadock to gain something) it startet to gain more and more creepy. I mean, even if I lower everything in game and in catalyst as well the game is lagging - it is playable somehow but...
so my question is, is this computer really that bad (in terms of playing this game) ? Or is there anything I did wrong/can do better to improve the performance to at least be able to play it (turn off shadows, anything...)
any help is greatly appreciated !
