Saints Row 3 on LOW-END LAPTOP || Intel Celeron N2840, Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail), 4 GB RAM
I remember 2 weeks ago (as of the time this video is published) one person requested me to test a Saints Row game, so there you go! I initially wanted to go with Saints Row 2, but as that one is really poorly optimized, I went with Saints Row: The Third, as I heard that it's quite well optimized on the other hand. Despite these claims by many people, it unfortunately runs, well, not as great as I anticipated it would be on my Lenovo IdeaPad Intel Celeron N2840 gaming monster of a laptop. In fact, it runs worse than Sleeping Dogs and GTA IV, so I guess the third Saints Row game's optimizations aren't ideal either! To be honest, the performance is still acceptable for me. I mean, 14 FPS average at 640x480 isn't great by any means, but I know you guys would still be happy to play this game like that, so I guess go ahead and try it out if you have these crappy specs lol! And no, there isn't much you can tweak further to increase the FPS in this game, sadly. I forgot to show in the video, but yes, I was running the game in DX9 mode. Program that I use to monitor the FPS and the CPU, "GPU" and RAM usage: MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner Statistics Server.
