    OK, I know there are threads on "Can my computer run..." and "Age of Conan", but I'm looking for something more specific to the X205-S9349. I've gotten the impression that it can run AoC, but my current Nvidia driver is in the 167.xx series. The game is looking for something higher than 169.26.

    I found hundreds of drivers at laptopvideo2go.com, but am looking for another X205-S9349 owner who's using a driver that could run AoC. (I know I saw KernalPanic with a 174.xx series driver, but wasn't sure how he settled on that one.)

    Also, what software do you guys use to check the temperature?

    Thanks!

    I use Rivatuner to monitor temps and to OC the card.....works well although if you OC you'll need to experiment to find out what the maximum stable OC you can run.

    You can go to Laptopvideo2go and download most any driver for this thing, just try a few different ones and see which seems to work best for you. With my upgrade, 177.41 (just got it yesterday) give me my best performance to this point. 174.16 was what I was running before I upgraded to x64 Vista and it did very well also.

    OK, I ended up with the 174.74 driver from Laptopvideo2go. So far, so good - and I finally got to play Age of Conan too.

    Thanks for the reply.

    No sweat, glad I was able to help. I get enough from others, nice to be able to pass it on a little.

    I just recently installed a new driver 177.39 from Laptopvideo2go.com and I have to say I broke the 7xxxk barrier with a singel 8700GT YIPPE

    Of course I also ugraded my CPU to T9300 and the GPU was running 770/1628/912 at 62 C ;-)

    I would try 175.19 as these better 174.31 ran some tests on both. Also I noticed both drivers lose fps when running just on battery power. I have my sli1 set to high performance battery plan. Can someone tell me how to disable powermizer.

    I have the same problem, im not sure what the best upgrade would be for my CPU x205-s9349 to make AoC run smoother. Will upgrading my RAM to 4 gigs help or should i buy a new processor? currently have T7100, and I am also not sure which driver to download for my Vista 32bit SP1. Please help me out.
