petep1980 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have a low-end laptop, but I do have a dedicated graphics card. I can run 60-75 fps on medium settings. I got back into 2k12 this past weekend and modded the crap out of the game. Holy crap did it take a hit. I went down to about 25-30 fps on the lowest settings, and the game was unplayable. The mods I applied are: almost all stadium mods new rosters sky textures and the global.iff I am in the process of re-downloading mlb 2k12 to make a clean install, copy it and mod that. Are any of the previous mods I mentioned killer for lower end gaming laptops? I'd love to stick with 2k12 on the pc, but if it stays slugging or my aging computer can't handle it I may have to do the 360. Any advise is appreciated.

Yankee4Life Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It seems to me that your laptop could use a bit more RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceshigh Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 All of those mods you mentioned except for the new roster will slow down the game a bit. And wait until the new stadiums come out, with higher resolution textures... I do agree with Y4L, check if you can expand the ram on your pc. What's your setup anyway? I play on my laptop as well (not a gaming laptop by any means) and i only ran into huge fps drops when i added the HD graphics mods (running the game at full settings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's (4) years old. GPU: GeForce GT 425M CPU: Intel® Core i3 CPU M 230@ 2.53 GHz 4.0 GB RAM (3.79 usable) Current resolution: 1366 x 768, 60 Hz Windows 8.1 Pro I have played 2k12 lots in the past with some mods at 60 fps, but I don't know the exact ones. I can also play Assassin's Creed 3. I just don't want to bog down 2k12. Maybe I should look into additional RAM. I did a performance benchmark this morning on all low video settings, and it was 90 FPS. I am willing to go down to the 55-60 range since I think a 360 runs on 60 Hz anyway.

Your main issue might be the GPU. I have the same amount of RAM memory as you, and I run the game at around 60/70 fps with every mod ever released installed, except for the HD mod. I also use NBA 2K14 and FIFA 14 with maxed out settings, and they run just fine. However, I am looking to upgrade the RAM from 4 to 8 Gbs, and if your computer allows you to expand it in any way, I strongly reccomend you do it too If you're not able to do that, my tip would be to add the mods one by one and see which ones hit the performances the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petep1980 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yeah. I'm going to try the RAM, and see what I can live with. I don't wanna spend the money on new RAM and processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
