XxFightingIrish Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have a Dell M1330 and 2k9 lags a LOT. I haven't had this problem before in any other game, and when I try to play another game, I get a warning message saying that screen resolution is not optimal for this dislplay divice and that doesn't happen when I try play MLB 2K9 but it happens for all other games. I would love if someone could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked420 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 That is a laptop right? Chances are that your problems lie with a poor graphics card. Which one do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxFightingIrish Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I don't know, but the graphics look fine, it i just laggy, and how would I find these specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking a guess that the lag is caused by the integrated video card sharing some of your System RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked420 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For processor and RAM: Right click on "My Computer" and click properties. For video card: Go to Start > Run > type "dxdiag" > go to the "display" tab > read what it says next to "Name:" and next to "Approx. Total Memory:".

That wouldn't be a problem, it has 3GB RAM even if his card used a whole GB it would still be enough. The card itself may be slow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxFightingIrish Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have 64 bit Vista which could hurt, but the name is Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family and the approx. total memory is 358 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, good point. I'm sure he's running Vista as well. Which is a resource hog all by itself. 3GB RAM + Vista + Integrated Card: You're going to hit a bottleneck somewhere when it comes to gaming.

Wicked420 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Vista... I haven't switch to that piece of .... Anyway, you may want to try upgrading your graphics drivers and possibly lowering your graphic details in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxFightingIrish Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 But I have never had the problem before, with Photoshop, Madden, MVP, NBA Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackman2007 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 You are getting that error because MLB 2K9 doesn't like the resolution it's being set to. Your graphics adapter (which happens to be integrated) is reporting that it's default resolution is greater than what the game thinks is a playable resolution for you. Games don't like being played at a resolution of lower than the default since it won't look as good. Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. You can try going into the game itself and try lowering the resolution yourself, or try lowering your computer's resolution when you want to play. You are using the most current Intel graphics driver right? Photoshop is not GPU dependent (that much), at least not as much as a game so you shouldn't have a problem with that. Which versions of those other games are you playing? I can't imagine you are getting a very good playable game with that graphics chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it just happens when I try to play MLB 2k9, and is there anything I can do to try to fix it, and I don't know much about computers, so directions would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked420 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 OK I understand now. Your resolution is in the graphic options menu, change it in there to the same as your desktop resolution. On XP you can check your desktop resolution by right clicking on your desktop and clicking on properties and then the settings tab. On Vista it should be something similar but I've never used Vista. That should make the error go away. You may want to lower the resolution if you still have bad performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
