    Hi all,

    Whenever I try to use OpenGL driver, for example run MSI Kombustor in OpenGL mode, the screen just hang there or the FPS very slow like less than 5fps (I'm very sure its run in NVIDIA and not the Intel graphics). Does anybody have the same problem?

    I am using the latest NVIDIA 260.63 beta driver and no oc. Please help if anyone know how to solve this problem. Thank You.

    Sounds like a white listing issue for the 335. When Kombuster is running, open up the taskmanager, identify the process it uses and the Open File Location. Add that executable to the white list.

    Hi slickie88,

    thanks for reply.

    I already add the white list but the problem remain the same. It run well when I use DirectX 9 or 10 but all OpenGL 2 or 3 cannot perform well (less than 5 fps, sometime even hang/not response) with the same resolution and benchmark setting.

    Hmmm...

    Might try some other OpenGL tests to see if this is in fact an OGL issue as opposed to a problem with Kombuster itself. FurMark does OGL I believe. Sure there are other utilities as well.
