Nursegreg Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi, I have an Acer Aspire 7520 running a Geforce 8400m g turbo cache (sticker on comp says up to 1024mb) I'm using a modded driver 177.92 and everything runs great except for my game World of Warcraft. It doesn't lag all the time, but frequent enough and especially in large raids when it really gets in the way. I'm wondering if anyone else with this video card that plays wow knows maybe of a better driver that I could try? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Sounds to me like your video card isn't quite powerful enough. 177.92 is a well-performing driver, so I do not think it is causing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyMhz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) i think its something else. Maybe WOW just hates the 8400's. Cuz a 8400 should easily run it. I know people with Geforce FX5700's who run it. Can i say, Internet problems? is that a possibility. And look at the Reccomended Specs: Recommended Specifications Windows® System 2000/XP OS: Intel Pentium® IV 1.5 GHz or AMD XP 1500+ MHz 1024 MB RAM 64 MB 3D graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting, such as NVIDIA® GeForce? FX 5700 class card or above Broadband Internet connection Two-button scroll-wheel mouse Mac® OS X 10.3.9 or newer: 1024 MB RAM or higher; DDR RAM recommended ATI or NVIDIA® video hardware with 64 MB VRAM or more Broadband Internet connection Edited October 1, 2008 by MonkeyMhz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all the time, but in WoW the framerate drops to around 1 for a maximum of like a minute, then everything returns to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends with some problems also on WOW, they really need to get their act together/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew55 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Actually, this has very little to do with your video card. Using vista (which i assume you have) causes problems like that with WoW. Using xp should alleviate your problems. If however, you are using xp, it could be another problem which, can also be resolved (but we'll talk about that later.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nursegreg Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Actually it was originally Vista but I got sick of that and formatted and installed XP. Which originally DID help a lot, then it wasn't just video lag, but also audio. Was really maxxing out my processor. Anyway after I switched over to XP most of the lag went away, but like I said I still get that occassional (sometimes more than occassional) video lag, and it's always right at the wrong time.
