NiemandX Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hi guys. This is my first post here. I have been playing GOW normally with my 169.28 Drivers but recently I am experiencing a hugh drop in my gameplay. The game wont run smoothly any longer, no mattering of the the setting, tried all, from highest to lowest. I was using everything on High, DX10 and AntiA off, on a 1440x900 resolution perfectly. Now the game has become unplayable under any resolution. I am getting no more than 15 FPS I am wondering what could have happened? I have no programs on the background leeching my CPU or Ram. The only thing I did was overclock the card to 618/560 and it didnt overheat much (around 60-63 Celsius). Have I damaged my GPU? I am using the wrong drivers for this game? I am clueless. Somehow this situation has shown to be progressive. Performance has been dropping since the first time I runned the game. Your help is much appreciated! Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anothermike69 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) I have heard that 163.69 are the recommended drivers for GoW for Vista whereas XP is 163.75. I would try those before anything else. Also, I played GoW with 169.04 and it worked alright... OCing your card should be fine as long as you are not seeing any artifacts. I would feel uncomfortable going too far past 600/500. Your card shouldn't be overheating. I have the same card and it runs in the 80s and low 90s when gaming (no fans inside for some reason?). I will eventually buy some cooling for my laptop though, that type of heat will not make my GPU last very long... Take it easy. -Mike Edited January 1, 2008 by anothermike69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
