However, you can force performence mod using rivatuner(restart required) it will not downclock the video card at all. that being said, avoid 8600m gt and 9500m gs ones. if you want to use the new drivers just for Physx support, it is not such a good idea. best to even stay away from all the g84 series card, 9600/9700 are great choices I've heard. You request more detailed info if you want, but I gotta go quickly finish my homework now, I will be back on here again before bed or something Phelim,

But on thing I am going to buy the acer aspire 5920 2 GHz core 2 duo and I plan on playing only unreal tournament and Fallout 3(two very varying games) so if you could include these games in your review that would be very helpful. Thx. I have found it hard to find reviews for midrange gaming laptops and this helps alot.

Graphics drivers are unstable! I have not updated my drivers / Bios past the stock drivers provided by Acer for my 5920 with the 8600GT. I run CnC3, HL2 Ep1,the Witcher,NFS Most Wanted etc....You name it I run it, but since getting my machine back in August I have had 45+ crashes of graphics programs with a 'the draphics driver has stopped responding, but has recovered' message, on all programs. Running nTune and temp is only 71 degrees after at time of crash, only just installed it so its not that. Reinstalled stock driver still not fix, yet there has not been a newer driver release by Acer ever, even though these drivers are naff, but they don't support you using cracked. Don't want to flash bios as I have friends who killed there laptops by doing it and I don't think the bios is covered by my 3 yr Accidental damage cover. Help please Chris Help!

Ist this the correct driver now? I think so. I have only today updated to the new acer bios 3708. Yet to check if this improves performace in game. Bioshock was running smooth at the 1024×768 resolution with a few graphical options turned off. I would like to be able to boost the resolution but I get lag in game at the highest resolution. Half Life 2 can play on top resolution and lag a lot less and I think that looks amazing too. So I tend to avoid that top resolution for Bioshock. Can anyone tell me what settings theyve got running in Bioshock as a balance between graphics and performance? And is there anything Ive forgotten to do here? Thanks for your time and thank you for this excellent site. Hi all, Aspire 5920G with the 8600m GT im playing Bioshock with the nvidia modded drivers from Laptopvideotogo….so driver:7.15.11.6904.
