What driver version are you using currently? Especially on Vista, this can make a big difference. Also, have you applied the Nvidia hotfixes for Vista?

if you have installed vista sp1 then the nvidia gu hotfix is included in that package

Hello harscha,

I've tried many drivers on Vista (same 8600M as you) and I experienced the same problem - lags in games.

Then I found driver 163.67 for Vista 32bit - only this driver works fine for me.

Or maybe you can try to disable multithread support in Nvidia panel (Advanced 3D settings).

Hope it helps. Let us known.

When i begin to play its very good and when i'm playing aboute 15 min then the lag begin. I plays nfs with 38fps them fall to 0. I think i'm using 163,67 nvidia drivers. Someone knows what is this falling frame?

Hi,

the Nvidia lag issue on Vista has a common sign - the lags are from the beginning. If you experiencing the FPS dropdown after some time I recommending to you check your hardware (temperature, perform the 3DMAX test)
