The response was that my videocard is to weak. This really bums me out because I love the Witcher and really want to play part 2.
Can someone tell me if I can upgrade the videocard in the notebook or if this isn`t possible. Can you put an stronger card in your notebook? Thanks alot already
Greetings Chiel

Aaden: No, you can't. There's external solutions, but as far as I know they do have certain problems. I don't think they're recommendable, but maybe there's someone better to judge that, since external mobile graphics isn't something I stay particularly informed about.

By the way: In my opinion, the CPU is more likely to be the bottle-neck due to the low clock when using four cores. There's a workaround though, that forces dual-core-turbo-mode (2 cores @ high clock, instead of four cores @ low clock) instead, which should give you a solid framerate.

Edit: This post gives instructions on how to force the turbo-mode: http://www.gog.com/en/forum/the_witcher_2/question_game_resolutions/post15

ssjchiel666: Dude thank you!!! The processor was the problem. Have it sitched now during the game from 8 to 4 and it runs great:) Man you saved my witcher adventure. Cruising as we speek.
Many thanks from Holland

lw2jgog: The Intel GMA line is *way* under-spec'd.

rooshandark8: Will this thing work for a laptop with intel gma hd, core i5 @ 2.6 ghz and 4 gb ram ?
i can use the fps increase.

Aaden: I don't think so. The 2,6 GHz basic clock are above the minimum specs, so you should be able to play seemlessly. Besides, if I'm not mistaken the i5 is 'just' a dual-core (+ Hyperthreading, so 4 threads, but that doesn't really matter for gaming) anyways, so deactivating one of those would be counter-productive.

In your case, I'm sure, the Intel graphics chip is the bottle-neck.
