Does prototype perform poorly even on low settings on Nvidia 9800GT?

I get 22-29 frames.

My specs are

intel core 2 duo e4400 2.50Ghz

GeForce 9800GT

4GB DDR2@ 800Mhz RAM

DIsplay resolution of 1280X720

I run it at 1280x1024 with high setttings and 4xAA and the framerate is very smooth. Mouse aiming is a bit stuttery at times, though.

I get pretty poor fps as well, aparently in some systems it doesnt take advantage of your gpu at all... seems to be some sort of bug. http://forums.vgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=1938&sid=aebaebef228221c13230e012a5ee8188

ps what are you using to benchmark? I think fraps hurts performance alot in this game for some reason.

you have similar pc with more ram but i get around 30-40+ fps on 16x10 max 4aa vsync. you can get a fair amount more frames by overclocking your cpu.

it could be what you have pluged in to your usb ports. on my laptop it runs great, but if i plug my usb head phones in the FPS goes way down. Try make sure you have only the mouse and keyboard plugged in and see if it runs better.

Your cpu is a bit underpowered but even with that and the fact you are gaming at 1280x720 i think you should at least get 30fps average on high settings. I have the same card but a q6600 and i run it at 1440x900 all high settings 2xAA at about 35fps

I have a usb mouse but it is controlled via a USB To PS/2 connector........... I will try to attach a PS/2 only mouse and see that it helps

Your problem sounds the the laptop downtempos your GPU to conserve power. If you're only gaming while plugged in anyhow set (should be power options somewhere for the laptop) for it to always run the GPU at max.
