Low FPS

shaego950 · 07-13-2008, 12:20 PM

When I run Age of Conan on low settings with a GeForce 8600M GS and Intel Core 2 Duo processor, I get 8-9 fps during the game and the loading screen. While I still haven't got the service pack and it says a need to update my graphic driver to 169.21 or higher, and I haven't done that either, I still can't believe it can be that bad. If it's because of the driver, could you please give a direct link with a specific driver update that that actually works with my graphic card, and i've been looking for an hour. Thanks.

what driver are you using?the driver you have may be to old for that game.

shaego950 · 07-14-2008, 10:59 AM

My driver is too old for the game. If thats the problem, where cam I get an update for a GeForce 8600M GS, since I'm having no luck of finding one. If you know 1 could you please give me the link to the download.

personally id try the custom drivers at http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/

shaego950 · 07-14-2008, 01:09 PM

Well, I looked there already and i can't find one. I need a 169.21 or higher version. Could you please give me a link to a 8600M GS driver update if there is one.

i think the one on top of the page should be compatible.the 177.66 it says all flavors i would have to assume they mean support for all cards.

shaego950 · 07-14-2008, 04:13 PM

No, it doesn't work. However, I found one that supposed to work (http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/dri...ries/8297.html), but after downloading it and extracting it, I can;t find the installation.

**pharoah** · 07-14-2008, 05:58 PM

what brand and model is your laptop?

shaego950 · 07-15-2008, 02:52 PM

I have a VAIO VGN-FZ31ZR (It's Russian)

**pharoah** · 07-15-2008, 03:40 PM

hmmm im gonna have a tuff time finding anything on a russian site.what i suggest is look at the sony site,and see if they have some updated drivers for it.

shaego950 · 07-15-2008, 04:01 PM

How about the driver I mentioned earlier. Should it work and if it does how do I get it to work?

**pharoah** · 07-15-2008, 06:17 PM

well it might work but if it has no install not sure what ya gonna do to install it.you might could go into the device manager and hit update driver,and direct it to that file.

shaego950 · 07-16-2008, 02:01 AM

No, sorry, just found a file that mentions all the drivers it can be installed for, and its not there. I guess I'l keep looking.
