greyhawk 8 Posted October 22, 2012 I am getting a new toshipa p850 with 8g memory, Nvidia GT 630M 2GB dedicated graphics with Optimus i7 processor windows 8 I currently have a hp g series with a hd3000 graphic card. Do you think it will run better with this set up? I have the strike fighter 2 europe, vietnam and north atlantic. Currently after a couple of games I have to restart and use low resolution. Any help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panama Red 22 Posted October 22, 2012 Do you know if SF2 will work in Windows 8 ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ianh755 196 Posted October 22, 2012 It should run much better that your old one with it having both an i7 and a dedicated graphics card. Games that have been tested on Windows 8 haven't show any real increase/decrease in performance (some up & some down a few FPS) but as with any new OS just give it a go and let us know if it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+SkateZilla 49 Posted October 26, 2012 make sure to update all the drivers, and configure optimus tech to use the GT630 GPU ONLY for games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talez 0 Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Games run on Windows 8 great!! WoX, SF2 X, everything runs as ever before and my CH control manager runs without problem either. Windows 8 changes UI a lot but the bottom line is, comparing it to Vista is a blasphemy. Edited October 31, 2012 by Talez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+suhsjake 11 Posted November 2, 2012 Wait about six months. Windows 8 has a lot of issues currently and only is cool if you actually have a touch screen. Other than that, not worth upgrading to currently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
