Very low FPS - Any FPS boosting tips?

[Mr. Grimm]

Hey everyone. Still day 3 of my epic adventure but I've come across a problem in ET... IT LAGS LIKE A MOTHERF*****!!!

 

Seriously, I'm running it at lowest graphics/sound quality possible, 480p reso, no demanding background programs, and im getting around 5-6 fps with major fps drops.

 

I have a pretty bad system, but it can run COD4 and L4D2, it should be able to run this. Here are my specs (don't laugh):

 

HP-Notebook 2000

Processor: AMD E-350 1.60GHz

RAM: 8GB (7.60 useable, I upgraded it from 3GB)

Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit (Activated)

 

Any tips on better FPS?

With an AMD Radeon HD 6310 I guess.. If it's the case try this command in your console:\r_primitives 2

 

Also make sure to have your driver up to date.

Update your video drivers to the latest ones. In many cases, it solved the problem

Try what Anni said. /r_primitives 2 then /vid_restart (try r_primitives 1 if you don't see any difference on 2) 

Check this topic if you want to change cvars and improve fps.
