Recommended laptop settings for best overall performance and quality?

Does anyone have recommendations for laptop settings for best overall performance and quality? I'm curious which settings seem to decrease or increase the framerate. I'm running the game on a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 (i5 processor 1.6ghz, 8 MB Ram, Intel hd 4400 video card.)at 1920 X 1080, as well as medium settings, and I can get about 35-45 fps indoors, and some outdoor areas, but cities are really low fps (15-20). Any help with recommended settings would be most appreciated. Lastly I do have a big custom built gaming PC with liquid cooling, SLI, etc. that could run the game perfectly with all settings maxed but I like being able to game on the go with my Surface.

    Well, lower the settings lol, and use Direct x9 instead of x11, at least it helped me a little bit ...

    Your problem is your video card.
    I suggest you use sliders to adjust your video settings in-game.
    Sliding the graphics to lowest and your render-scale to max has given me best framerate results.
    I am sorry about your video card, It's the worst one out there.
    Hope I helped you a bit though, it sure did for me

    I have a similar spec laptop and I used this article to help me get the best out of the limited graphics capabilities:

    Don't expect fantastic textures or vibrant colours, but you get pretty solid graphics performance and a smooth frame rate.

    . . . I upgraded from an ATI 4350 to an ATI 7770 and I couldn't believe how much more awesome the game was and how much better it ran. I'm on a desktop though and am not savvy with laptop hardware. I let my tech-head sister do that while I can handle practically anything desktop related.

    . . . From your specs, you have plenty of RAM and processor power. The only thing really lacking that stands out to me is your poor video card. That's a notebook video card and notebooks are not gaming computers. Sadly, they still mention "playing games" in their advertisements for them but what they aren't saying is those games are basic games, like solitaire and other "App" style games. Not graphic intensive games like MMOs.

    I can give you a simple fix for sure it helped me alot.

    First and foremost run disk clean up and the defrag.

    Second go to the intel graphics control center and go to graphics properties. Then click advanced mode. Next click on 3D and off to the right at the top uncheck the custom settings so you can move the slider to max performance. Then go down a bit and find texture quality, set it to performance, then move on to vertex processing and set that to software performance. once you're done with that click over to power and set the power options to maximum performance.

    once you are done with that restart your computer and start changing the in game graphics under video. at the very bottom before advanced options you will see two sliders...make the first one go all the way to the right and the second slider all the way to the left. you will then get the best graphics you can achieve with the best performance possible. IF you need to go into advanced setting and lower everything to off or minimum settings, just read the discriptions. almost everything is where it should be.
