JarlaxleBaenre Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hi I've just installed Race Driver GRID and 1.1 Update. When I launch a game, intro and main menu run extremely slow. There is like just a few frames and I can't do a thing. My lappy is XPS M1530 with 8600M GT and clocks at 600/900 (CPU 2,4GHz, 2GB ram). I'm using 177.41 drivers and Win XP Pro with SP3. Any ideas ?

Andrew55 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Try different drivers. Your system is more than capable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 try 177.66 / 174.74 also (might sound really dumb, but it happens) make sure its pluged into mains. As when its on battery will always clock the GPU into 3D normal mode, not 3D performance. (overclocking wont work also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarlaxleBaenre Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) @Andrew55, I know that it should handle that game. Also any other game runs perfectly with these drivers. @wook (alt), I think I'll wait for a few more positive comments on 177.70 and try these ones. As for the battery, I know that it downclocks graphics card to save energy, but power cord is plugged in and I also checked clocks in rivatuner before launching the game.

Andrew55 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 The 177.66 are better imo. Try those instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarlaxleBaenre Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Well, I've installed 177.70 (didn't follow Your advice :) ) and still GRID is unplayable. Although I can see a difference (it's much smoother) I can hardly do anything in main menu :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyMhz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Weird, I found grid very smooth. Try using the external option starter that you can download, Set everything to very low, see if its still unplayable, if it is. Then theres something really strange. But even when I maxxed it out for fun, it was laggy but usable, with just lots of stuttering when you turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
