I have a very old laptop and when i tried running samp on it, even with the lowest resolution, it lagged a lot and was unplayable.
My laptop specs
-core i3 2350m
-intel hd 3000 32mb decicated video memory
-6 gb ram (4+2)
-sata ssd
Here are the things i did to improve performance--
If you have a low end system in general, you should install tiny 10/tiny 11 operating system
These are the stripped down versions of windows 10/11 with no bloatware and it takes lower resources to run
The size of the operating system is wayy lower than original windows 10/11
If you are hesitant to download this operating system , don't worry there's absolutely no reason to.
Open your pc case or laptop case , clean the components (mainly the fans) and reapply thermal paste.if you cannot do this,
Go to a repair shop or ask a friend /relative(if you have one)
If you have very low ram , disable windows defender. It takes a lot of your precious ram
If you have an ssd installed, increase the virtual memory.
