You own a couple-year-old Alienware laptop with those specs. It’s running an older game, Call to Power 2, and it’s acting up—sluggish and almost impossible to play. Despite your desktop having a newer i5 and GTX 950, and another laptop with a core i7 and GTX 2060, this one struggles. You checked the graphics settings and even set Windows to prioritize high performance, but the issue persists. Drivers seem current, so what’s going on?
Check if it uses an HDD or SSD; running on HDD will cause significant slowness regardless of other components.
Additionally, what amount of unused storage remains on the device where the game runs? Probably not much nowadays, though insufficient space has often slowed down performance.
The operating system runs on an SSD, while the library uses an HDD. When the game was on the SSD, it performed this action, but after moving it to the HDD, the behavior changed accordingly.
Passmark scores show 1228.6 at the 14th percentile. 3D visuals perform well at 9684.3 in the 62nd percentile, while 2D graphics sit at 89.1 in the 7th percentile. Performance on a GTX 1070 seems uncertain.
