    Hello everyone. I have just bought my super laptop :) and i tried to update the drivers. I have uninstalled the old ones, downloaded new ones (laptopvideo2go) and installed them. I was very happy to jump from 101 to 169.09... but not for long... I started UT 3 and found out, that after 5 minutes og game, it starts to lag... I tried other versions of drivers from laptopvideo2go but nothing helped, i reinstalled vista it did not help either. Please people, help me, i dont want to be left on 101 because that driber is terrible today! Note: i did not have this problem on stock drivers.

    How does it lag: I pla 5 minutes, then the picture slows down for a second or two - this repaeats threw all the game. This happens on all games..

    Maybe something went wrong or i badly uninstalled the previous driver?
    Thank you

    This is I think a well-known problem caused by some versions of the drivers (or most?). GPU throttles down incorrectly due to heat. Search around, there was a driver version posted that did not have the problem (somewhere in the 163.xx range if I remember correctly but I can't be sure)

    Also, be sure to use DriverCleanerPro or an equivalent in-between uninstalling drivers and installing other drivers.

    Yes, but please, don't post the same question all over the forum, it makes things confusing. It would have been best if you would have found the most appropriate thread to post this BEFORE making a new thread. As it is, please limit the discussion to this thread, people will answer here.

    Edit: I deleted your two other posts, here is the useful info in addition to what you posted here:
