    I've got a Compal HEL80 with 2 gigs of ram and a 2.2 ghz Core2Duo processor. I believe its geforce 7600 go. This is listed as a supported graphics card and the game runs well enough for me to PvE and grind public quests which is all I need but I'd like to get a bit better framerate. On my desktop (SLI 8800GT's, Q6600, 4GB ram) I was getting a terrible framerate until I switched drivers and now everything is just fine. So my question is this, what driver version are you using to get the best performance in warhammer?




    I play on lowest settings and 1280x1024 on my laptop. I'm fine with this.

    EDIT: for some reason, its playing fine except when I look at a bunch of trees, maybe a game bug?

    I'm running v177.79 @1440x900 Balanced with Forced AAx4

    Runs fine, although I messed with the In Game GPU memory optimizer, and game went to crap even after I returned it to default. Had to restart the game, and it was fine.

    I'm running laptopvideo2go driver 177.92. With a few performance tweaks I can run WAR at 1680x1050 (or something) on high settings just fine.
