[jonnylivesinbr]

Watching in my nc10 someone playing on a nc10 =D

which games did you already run on your netbook?

[TheSheepherd]

57 seconds...but Half Life 2 wasnt never really that fast all the way...is upgrading to 2 GB a big difference?

Always if you want good performance i would always recommend going to properties then to launch settings and typing in -dxlevel 60 i do this and get really good fps

also on lowest settings.

[Arbiter159]

It would probobly run better on windows 7

[dogking708]

what settings you used?

[moonblinker25]

my 11" dell runs this at above 30 fps

[jordanisyourfriend]

how do you get it to run sooooo smothly i have postal 2 for my nc10 laptop and i lags like fuck like at 4 fps all the time anyway im gna get this game give it a try

[halflife14ever]

just create a custom config file and you could play it at way faster speeds than this, at the expense of graphical quality of course

[jordanisyourfriend]

how? pls help me

[jkiwiet]

you could improve the frame rate by lowering the resolution

[kungharry]

did u do any hardware changes, or mods to the graphics? cuz it probably ran like on my old pc xD tried it in fighting scenes? playable?

[RePlayPsp]

CSS? Doesnt work on mine!?

[hugamugalikesA340]

did the game crash on you at the first loading screen?

if so apply

-window -dxlevel 70 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -width 640 -height 480 -novid

it stopped crashing on my MSI wind when i applied this

[RePlayPsp]

Really?

[Shotec1]

Thank you. It works.

[AshMargrove]

@hugamugalikesA340 the only thing you need is the dxlevel 70 +mat_forcehardwaresync 0.....

[RePlayPsp]

Where??

[deathray393]

I actually recently wrote a custom config for half life 2 on netbook. It mainly turns off things that you wouldnt notice anyway, because of the small screen, and low framerate. You usually get a farely good framerate with it, 30 fps at the lowest. Although, there are the occasional lag spikes, bring fps down to like 5 fps

[jasoninertia]

hi, any chance you can post that custom config somewhere , I would really like to try it . thanks

[palmster187]

i must admit thats not to bad for a netbook i have a nc10 and never even botherd installin any high spec games as i no it cant handle it but im suprised it even plays on low

[jasoninertia]

that runs just fine doesent it , im sure some tweaks would sort it out , I have an nc10 , not too pleased with it to be honest , wish I would have got the asus n10

[slipperywhenwet5]

would the seashell run this good(or as good as this one?)

[soundbeans]

Have you played the whole game through on the nc10? any major issues?

[videomenace]

WOAH!!

[toys28]

I love steam ive got call of duty 1 on my nc10 and it runs like a dream

[bastec666]

have you tried counter strike source? if so what fps round about on dust 2?

[trobby]

Hey, I was running the latest DirectX 10 at the time.

[spudz736]

@trobby dx 10. impressive. lol i had to force dx 7 with my 8 gb netbook ;)

[NullOfNull]

wich directx you use??

[spbKranK]

Not bad for a netbook!

[kratug]

haha great if you like stopmotion effect! xD

[Eniak]

I can't see if the game made itself run on DirectX 7 but I suppose not. You could try to do it by launching it through steam with -dxlevel 70 option. It may increase the framerate. :)

[pistolheadshot]

wow, i tried css on a nc20 and it was laggy as hell, like a frame all 5 secounds . is the nc10 better for games? or have you moddet it? or does hl2 need less cpu, ram, and so on? i also decreased all the video settings to low. tell me what i could do about this plz :)

[trobby]

Not sure to be honest, how much ram you got in the NC20? also, what resolution you running the game at?

[kris10ish]

@trobby im downloading and installing a lot of games and i can run this high with 60 fps but i make sure nto to have less than 300 out of 500 gig i have 316 right now wihil installing darkspore

[wakayoda]

please do not state the obvious
