    So I just got my ul80vt and I love it so far. I was eager to try one of my favorite games out so I installed bioshock and it ran like a$$ no matter what the setting. I tried it on low settings at 1200x600 and got barely playable frame rates. I have played this game at medium at the same res on my asus n10j and had no problems. I made sure the discrete graphics were on and that I was in performance mode. Could it be an issue with the drivers? If so what driver is best for this thin and light?

    i would be really interested to hear if you\'re able to install any newer drivers!

    i\'ve been trying to update my graphics drivers with the latest notebook set ( http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_195.81_beta.html atm) with no luck!

    i did come across something called VGA patch in the downloads section for the notebook http://support.asus.com/download/do...80VT&product=3&type=Map&os=30&SLanguage=en-us

    but i\'ve tried running it before installing new drivers, after installing new drivers, after installing new drivers and rebooting and basically every combination you can think of - even tried to do manual install of the drivers etc. - all resulting in failure and the PC going back to \'standard video driver\' with a max res of 1024x768 until i roll back to the asus provided driver!
