    After installing the latest Nvidia graphics drivers, the monitor out port on my notebook no longer functions. If I rollback the driver, it works just fine. Can anyone help me resolve this as I need to update my drivers to receive tech support from Blizzard in regard to Startcraft 2?

    No, but I was probably about 6 months behind on video drivers.

    My issue with SC2 is it will randomly drop to 1-2fps for 20-60 seconds at a time. It can be while in the menus or while in the beginning of the game while there is little to no action on screen. In other words, it's not like my settings are too high.

    Forceware 195.62 - LaptopVideo2Go Forums

    I know their older but they have fixed a lot of problems i have run into in the past.

    Also, have you updated the vbios and bios?
