So my knowledge of computers is very very basic, i usually just buy a new laptop every few years based on store advice and it runs whatever i end up getting for it pretty well.

I picked up The Witcher 2 the other day, and even on the lowest settings the game is a bit too choppy to actually enjoy.

Here are my system specs:

Intel (R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6500 @ 2.10 GHz per core
4.00 GB RAM
64-bit Operating System

I do not know how to see more information than that, unsure what my video card is but the game said i had 2 gigs of video RAM when i installed it.

The Witcher 2 min/recommended specs are here:

Was it a pipe dream at all to think my laptop could handle it? Anything i can try to get a noticeable increase in fps? I would try updating my video card drivers, but i don't even know how to do that.

Anyways any assistance would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to confirm i'm an idiot and have no chance of running the game smoothly. If anyone can provide assistance that gets the game to a decent fps, and this it's not considered RMT by the devs, i'll give you 5kpp in gratitude [You must be logged in to view images.

Graphics on your laptop are going to be the bottleneck in this case, do you know the specs of your GPU? Your CPU and RAM seem fine for that application, and unfortunately you can't easily upgrade the GPU in a laptop most of the time.

Honestly you'll need to get a laptop with a beefy GPU =/
