Kookus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Just as my desktop is currently broken I can only only be working off my laptop. My problems are the load times between areas or switching instances to join up for a group quest. My specs are Intel Core i5 CPU M450 @2.40GHz 4gb RAM 64 bit Windows NVIDIA GeForce 310M My drivers are up to date but the slow load times are killing me especially in group play. Any ideas how i can help load times or is the system im running this on simply too slow ? While the 310M is probably a bit low on the scale, it shouldn't be causing extended load times. There are a number of threads throughout the forums concerning long load times, so it may simply be an optimization issue affecting random installs. That said, that you are on a laptop suggests that you might be using a low-RPM HDD. Given how HDD-dependent this game is, you might consider this a starting point for your investigation into this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An i5 2500(k) would serve you just as well for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An i5 2500(k) would serve you just as well for that purpose. On this particular model i7 is the only option, I might look at other models and see if I can get the same specs but with a different processor, if it works out a lot less. If I can't then I'll just keep it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's about what I thought. In this day and age, I generally recommend folks try to stick with 7200RPM and above unless they're going for pure data storage. You could grab the exact same drive @7200 w/twice the on-drive cache for ~$100, but I'm not sure I would go that far to upgrade that laptop, given the video chipset you're working with. You might try a defragging utility a little more comprehensive than the standard Windows defrag. I use MyDefrag, for instance. Let that chew on your system for a few hours and see if it improves your load time at all. Also can i just say regardless of further help thank you for taking the time to answer my previous question.

Kookus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Other question: Anyone tried TOR on SSD yet? Should be super fast... There was somebody complaining in General earlier today that he was still experiencing poor performance on an absurdly-expensive SSD, but, the way the post was worded, I'm not sure I would put much stock in that.

Sylwaria Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well maybe his SSD was expensive but the other hardware subpar. Anyways... it should cut down the load times significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kookus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It's always a good idea to avoid mismatching hardware whenever possible. That said, it is often not strictly necessary* to match RAM, as the BIOS should* adjust clock speeds to the slowest component on any given bus. * - This very much depends on the capability and patch level of your BIOS, so YMMV.
