Nimbuz Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hello, I recently bought a new notebook and I'm having a lot of issues running WoW. My old notebook ran it fine and it was a lot worse than my new one: (HP Pavilion dv6500) - Nvidia GeForce 1750M - Turion 64 x2 1.9 - 2 GB RAM - windows vista 32-bit What happens is everytime I log in my game wont go over 8 fps. It's completly ridiculous, because with my old video card I used to get at least 50 fps. Here's what I already did trying to solve this problem: - Updated my driver to 173.28 - ran HP Update - ran Windows Update - installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 - updated my BIOS - turned off a few video options in WoW (including vsync, and triple buffering) - I added "Launcher.exe" and "WoW.exe" to the list of programs that shows on Nvidia control panel ... and I still get 8 fps. Could anyone please help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lima Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I have a similar problem, but with another game. The minimum requirements for the game I play is 32 MB videoram, recommended 128 MB videoram, and as you both know - NVIDIA GeForce 7150M is much higher than that so it should handle it just fine. However, I lag very much and occasionally get a graphical overload (best way to describe it) so the game freezes and shuts down. Isnt there anyone who have advice of solutions? I have tried everything I can think of, included all the options Nimbus mentioned. The laptop I have is DV9605oe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lima Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I of course meant dv9605eo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lima Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I actually succeeded to increase some of the performance by downloading a hotfix for windows vista from nvidia's website as it was recommended for those who use directx10. If you are using windows vista and directx10, this might help: http://www.nvidia.se/object/windows_vista_hotfixes_uk.html I also downloaded NVIDIA nTune from their homepage as its said to be a tool to help increase the gaming performances etc. Ive just installed it and am just about to try it out.

Guest BRG Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I recently brought the (2/29/2008) HP Pavilion DV9730US 17.0 @ 2.2 ghz@ 3GB ram, although this might be a better notebook than the one you purchased. I did however, remove the OS system and replaced it with Windows XP. I notice that my machine does not lag as my desktop, which is also an HP but with Vista. It has something to do with Vista and not so-much the Video card-remember the new OS requires that you have 1GB of free ram space for it to work and that is why we see the newer machine with more memory added to it. I would suggest that you remove the OS and convert back to XP, but with that you need to actually format your drive multiple times to reset some of the hardware inside the notebook. Please do not ask me why, but I think with the newer components are exclusively set to run with Vista only. It took me six to seven times to bypass certain features within the hardware to except XP. By the way, you should make sure that you have a recovery disc handy. I thought I broke my machine (approx. 8 or more hours to get it right) (Side note: XP only requires 512mb of Free memory leaving you with 1.5 GB of ram space to run your operations.) I hope this helps Hello,I recently bought a new notebook and I'm having a lot of issues running WoW.

whitesound Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 ... and I still get 8 fps.Could anyone please help me? I have had the same problem and have been doing intensive research on this subject since Blizzard came out with patch 2.1.x nVidia Control Panel. Under 3D Settlings select Manage 3D Settlings. (turn on the advanced options) Anisotropic Filtering - This had been set to 8x, changed it to Off Antialiasing - Setting - This had been set to 4x, changed it to None Texture Filtering - This had been set to Quality, changed it to Performance Display - Resolution 1600x1200 - Vertical Sync - Checked. One has to figure out whether or not to Sync or no t to with your current Monitor, I am not Syncing with my Samsung LCD. - Triple Buffing - Checked - Hardware Cursor - Checked World Appearance: - Terrain Distance - about three notches up from low. - Everything else set to low. - Spell Damage is set to 50% during Raids. Special Effects: - Specular Lighting - Checked. Also I use RivaTuner and Optimize the nVidia Card. The Z-Tweaked 158.19 have been the most reliable so far, Just finished testing with the 171.23 from LaptopVideo2.com (I always use their Tweaked .INF files). These are better than 158.19. Just some tips I thought I'd pass along. (These settings are to optimize WoW's FPS) Hope this helps some. :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compaq-User101 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I am also having a laptop with geforce 7150.I have a similiar problem as well. I have installed service pack 1 for vista, but it didn't help much. After I have installed the driver using modded INF, theres a improvement in performance, but its still not perfect, the weird thing is, I can't run 2D games smoothly (eg: bejeweled 2, zuma). I can outperform my 6 years old desktop with an ATI Radeon 9600 in most modern games, such as half-life 2, command and conquer generals. But my desktop works perfectly with 2D games. This is weird, since 2D games are suppose to be less demanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 The sad truth is, an ATI Radeon 9600 beats the crap out of the GF7150. It is really a memory bandwidth issue, especially for Vista. The video card simply does not have bandwidth to handle all of the 2D and 3D data at once. Microsoft should have never released Vista knowing that it performs so horribly on integrated graphics.

Andrew55 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^^I'm quite sure you mean 7150m. The system you are going to get is going to be much better, just don't expect it to max all settings. Expect reasonably good performance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guy who plays wow Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 The reason why your video card rate sucks is because you are using an Nvidia graphics card. not that Nvidia is bad, I personally own one as well, but the developers of WoW are sponsored by ATI. The game is developed on and for ATI cards. From what I can tell, if you want a better framerate in wow, you need an ATIbased video card. I'm also looking for a workaround as I don't want to buy an ATI card just to play wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guy who plays wow Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm sorry I just noticed i said 'video card rate' I meant 'frame rate' Forgive the error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obba Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hello. I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 Notebook PC AMD Athlon 64 X2 dualcore TK-55 1.80 GHZ 2,00GB RAM 32-bit windows vista Nvidia GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M I'm trying to play wow and I've tryed alot of stuff from google but nothing seems to increase my fps. Would buying a better graphic card increase my fps? or is it something else on this computer thats wrong? :) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The culprit: Nvidia GeForce 7150M And it's soldered onto the mobo (I think) so your only option is to get a notebook with some real gaming abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Leeroy Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Make sure vertical sync is always off including any anti alias and triple buffering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikitosiusis Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi there, WoW gamers. I have a little different card(7600m 256mb), but maybe can help you. I've reinstalled windows, installed latest drivers from nvidia site, turned on lowest graphics settings in wow and got the same problem as you. I deleted those drivers and installed from the CD with my notebook. They were 84.71. And wow I got 50fps. I don't say 84.71 is nice, I just claim that it is drivers' issue.
