    hey guys!

    I'm very happy with my alienware! i play ut3 cod4 crysis CandC3 bioshock etc.....I Have no problem with those games.

    I have a major issue with one of my favorite game : hellgate london!
    I hope this issue doesnt come from the game!!

    When im playing i got something like 55 fps average ( AA low, shader very high , texture high , model high , dx9)

    But after 30-45 mins playing i got a little freeze and my fps goes down to 35fps ( i got 10 fps if AA very high :confused: )!
    Temps are 70° For my t7400 and 73 for both gpu (no cooler on)!
    I don't think it comes from temps.

    I think it comes from my driver = 174.31!

    SO IM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WITH 8700SLI + VISTA who can run hellgatee london!!! and who can tell me what driver to use!!!

    That game has lot's of problems, or it did anyways. Try putting shaders to high, I remember hearing about that blowing peoples games up.

    Other than that..it should be fine...I run it on 1440x900..dx9 with shaders on high, and textures on Very High, I think AA is off and somethings on medium, not sure, but it looks good. So you should run it better.
