Hi Guys,
so i have been having some trouble lately with railworks performing 'stuttering' and very bad framerates.. Not only when TSX is ON but when it is off its quite bad aswell.. Here are my details.
System Model: HP Pavillon g6 Notebook PC
BIOS: InsydeH2O Version CCB.03.61.31F.44
Processor: AMD A8-3520M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics (4 CPUs), -1.6GHz
Memory: 6144MD RAM

It also says on my laptop Quad Core AND RADEON DUAL GRAPHICS. Now the guy said in PC world that is shouldnt stutter.. So do i have to change something or what?
Many thanks for any replies
Freddie

I think it is below the recommended specs required for the game especially that cpu.

Best thing to do is email RSC support. They will help you out better. I remember my PC couldn't run everything properly. I contacted them and they told me everything I needed to do and what to set everything to - including Anti Aliasing. As it's their game they will know doubt be able to tell you.
If not, start from the very bottom and work your way up through the settings. That way you can see what best runs the game. Setting it too low can cause lag (like I found out) and too high can cause lag. So like I say contact RSC and ask them.

Hmm... Well the guy in the shop said it will handle it.. What do you mean about the cpus.. isnt four cpu's ment to help?

Freddie, I'm no expert, but I do think the processors are a bit slow (1.6) it does not matter if you have 4, the rest looks ok, but even a fast single (3Mhz) might have been better, try not to run antivirus when using RW3. Good luck

A 4 core CPU won't make much difference, since Railworks doesn't utilise all of them.
