Hey, I haven't seen any appropriate slash working threads regarding this.
I bought a new laptop and I'm stuck at around 20fps, but laptop should be able to get more fps.
AMD Quad Core A8-4500M 1.90GHz (4MB cache)
AMD Radeon HD8750M 2GB
RAM 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
Thanks in advance! :)
FPS Fix
Are you playing in fullscreen or windowed mode?
It's a Christmas miracle!
That migth be a problem on some CPUs... have you tried playing in windowed mode, and noticed anything different regarding FPS?

What's your CPU temps when you play? CPU throttling can kill your FPS. Though I somewhat doubt it's your CPU overheating.
Even why my CPU hits its T.J. Max I can still play AoS ~40 FPS.

Someone told me (have no clue on the legitness of this) that this games engine is optimized for older computers, don't know why that would impact FPS on better ones though. I have an i5 3570k stock clock and a 650, and I usually get ~60fps.

please don't comment at all if you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMX_(instruction_set)
and to stay ontopic:
i have found amd processors to perform worse on cpu-heavy games than intel processors.
I meant that MMX registers and instructions on most modern systems were located in, and handled by the GPU. The fact that MMX and SIMD are CPU extensions, doesn't mean they have to be used on a CPU.

that would be a totally retarded implementation, as performance would degrade severely.
Alright so... any actual fix for this?

It's a common and well-known fact that most GPUs which are not from the 80's have a significantly better performance than CPUs. Both in terms of calculation speed (Both integer ops and flops), but also graphics calculations or read/write speed. That last thing is exactly what MMX and SSE is designed to deal with. How can performance "degrade severely" if the technology in question is moved to a platform which makes it operate faster?

what is the processor executing a program?
the cpu
now imagine (lol) someone wanted mmx instructions to occur on the gpu
first, the cpu determines it's a gpu instruction
then it sends the instruction + data needing processing to the gpu over whatever the gpu is in, (so could be anything including pci) to the gpu
the gpu executes
the gpu sends the result back
would that be faster than the cpu handling the instruction itself?
not by a long shot.

How is
Spoiler:
Code: Select all
processed on the GPU?movq mm0, [src]
movq mm1, [dst]
paddw mm0, mm1
movq [dst], mm0
Hint: It's not!
Even with the 0.5-tick delay that CPU-GPU communication might generate, you still don't get close to the performance capability of MMX/SSE.
Do you think those GPU-based 10-minute WEP password crackers would be possible with a delay as huge as you're assuming?
We had some hefty discussions about this very topic when I was working on the Voxlap port with Sonar and Cajun.
