deevius 0 Posted April 17, 2007 ok so he has switched to the Nvidia 165.01 drivers for Vista and it works on normal settings. But getting poor performance, to <20FPS he should be able to run game on all high settings smoothly with a 8800gtx shouldn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should not on a 8800. Ask him to use the new guru 3d drivers (they also cured rainbow 6 for me as well, plays perfect now). 102 one. Also try the beta 105.

Tell him to set post processing to high, mine was bitching a little too and im under the impression that high settings give me better performance, i guess the card was telling me: "Dont be scared to use me you noob!" Dont change HDR in the config, BIS know better than you. Vista != XP, i use the official 97:94 for 8800 series and it runs perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted April 18, 2007 Drop your settings all to very low and titrate up until you get the problem. Then, just set your settings one notch below problem ville. Make sure you give each setting change a decent test (I use the campaign mission "Sniper Convoy" and the single mission "Battlefields"). Unless of course, you are getting the issue with all settings on "very low?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
