m17 + windows 7 + games

hi all ive just installed windows 7 fresh and ive installed

ati 9.11....already tried aw origianl 4850s driver same thing
chipset driver
reateck driver ( of marvies up date section)
thats about it i think

but im getting stuttering during games ive only tried pro evo 10 and grid and both doing the same thing, im on the original bios supplied by alienware as of jan 09.

any ideas what im doing wrong?

 

have you followed the driver instalation sequence?

the 9.11 are adrealy out or they are beta i did not seen them yet

 

i didnt know their was a sequence

and the 9.11 are beta drivers

 

there might be 2 problem and each of them is enof to creat the trouble you are describing the beta driver might have some instability and the fact that you haven't followed the driver instalation sequence is sure to create trouble

here it is

take a look there for the drivers them selfs

Driver sequence installation isnt THAT important, just always remember the fundamental thing, chipset first then the rest Thats probably the major thing that might cause the drivers to conflict.

 

cheers i will follow the table but!!!!!!!!!

i got rid of stuttering and now i have black border in the games

i.e the m17 is widescreen but the games are square in picture

pro evo has border top and bottom

grid has the border each side

so sad its shocking id wish i left the laptop alone.

can any one also help or know what ive done wrong here.

thanks all

 

kcuk can you try something for me ? I was waiting for the 9.11 to come out to test it but since you have the issue might as well test it on you

Change your res to something lower than your native. Open CCC, go to Graphics -> Desktop and Displays, right click the laptop on the bottom left corner and go to configure, then select full screen and press apply/ok.

See if that fixes the black bars please

 

will do bud

edit.....

lol i knew that was their i just couldnt find it..... nice one bud im playing games at full rez and screen again +1 for you bud

i nearly put me fist threw it last night it was driving me mad.

i dont know if thier is one on here we need a chat room messanger type thing in here( AKA technical help!)

 

Ah nice At least now i can stop modding my own drivers since i know that it works lol

 

hi again i got the full screen thing sorted but with 1 card and with both cards enabled im getting stutering still.

any ideas before i start going through drivers again

 

Did you install the latest chipset drivers and in general all the windows 7 drivers instead of the vista ones ?

 

mmmm not sure just downloaded em ill look into that bud

thanks for fast reply
