marvin001 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 This Dell LapTop uses a 1900x1200 WUXGA Screen-Resolution. The current Display used by CMBB is 1600x1200, so I am playing with Black Bars left and right. Unfortunately, the game is soooo slooooow. I use Windows XP Prof, SP1, DirectX 9.0b and the latest Driver V6.13.10.4xxx from Dell. The nVidia Page tells me, that I need a Graphics Driver from Dell and that I cannot use one provided on their website. Any suggesttions are greatly appreciated.

Schrullenhaft Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Apparently Dell has the 42.58 Detonators up for the latest driver. I can't remember exactly which version of the driver was super-slow, but it may be in that range. You may want to download a beta driver from Guru 3D (select Videocard Drivers > NVIDIA detonator drivers > on the first page, about the 12th file down is the 44.22 GeForce 4/FX Go Win2000/XP driver). I don't know if the 44.22 will be any better or not than your current driver, but it may be faster. I suggest not using FSAA since that will cause problems. I suggest uninstalling your current video drivers from the Add/Remove Programs control panel before installing some newer ones. Before rebooting I suggest that you also download and use either the Detonator R.I.P. or Nvidia Nasty File Remover (NFR) to remove all Detonator-related files from your system (so you don't reinstall the same drivers on reboot). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin001 Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 Thanks for the quick answer. I am now using V45.20 and everything works perfectly fine. Marvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
