Thanks a lot mate. This is a very useful post.
I also want to add that if you are using a Intel i3 with Intel HD Graphcs 4400, I think you should also check your graphics properties. This is because processors on laptops have a dynamic power saving property, which reduces the performance and frame rate so as to improve battery life. Check it in Intel Graphics Properties > Power > Then check maximum performance in both the tabs that say "On Battery" and "On AC Power" or something like that. This way, you can play most games at maximum settings, upto 2010, as long as you keep the anti-alising/anisotropic filter off and also keep the v-sync to off.
Also, make sure to keep the virtual memory to the highest amount you can allot. I have set it to min 20 GB (holy cow!, but yes ) to a max of 50 gb (I know, intel Hd graphics sucks, but, nothing we can do). That way, you can play almost all games at max settings ( no AA and no v-sync ), without getting the god aweful "out of memory" settings.
I even ran NFS Most Wanted 2012 at medium settings at 720p with this method. Or set it at 800x600 with max settings. The second one is awesul by the way. And if you want a pretty slide show, you can have all the settings max and have a gorgeous 10 fraps slide show. Must say, the game happens to be quite a looker.
😀
Only good thing is that we can play all games uptp 2010 at max settings with these settings at 1080p or 720p.Personally, I prefer 720p, because the difference b/w 1080p and 720p is almost non existent to my eyes, which I take as a god's blessing and use the extra power for 2-4x AA. Fun, right ? Honestly, no
🙁
Hope this helps.
