This is your problem.

8600m was made two generations ago (two years ago), and it's a midline chip from than generation.

Think of it this way. You bought a corvette that looked super sweet, but you open up the hood and you've got a used honda engine.

you should try to update drivers.

1. how do i update my drivers
2. what drives do i update?

yeah...it should still run war...i know plenty of people are using a comp thats more then a year old to play.

i run a computer that i built over 4 years ago that i play WAR on.

P4 2.8
Asus radeon HD3650

Sometimes it gets pretty unplayable but other times its pretty good. Just waiting that amazing patch

i updated my drivers and what not and cleaned up my comp a bit now im going to see if that helps

Wish me luck so i can join you all on war

thats fuckin bullshit about the graphic card, that one u got is rly great for a laptop, and even it had 10 years it should be able to run it, so dont listen to that guy, my friend plays wit 128 graphic card and he still runs it so graqphioc card aint the prob
Just saw ur prob is solved XDDDD NVM xD
