Laptop and The Witcher

My game runs fine on my gaming laptop, little to no stuttering, glitches, ortanything.I am running patch 1.3, and i have a Nvidia Geforce 8600M GS. I would like to up my framerate and overall performance (don't take me wrong its near perfect) by upgrading my video drivers.Yet Nvidia has totally ignored the noble laptop users! So i need to ask you guys where and what to get....and i currently am running release drivers, version 163.75. It came out last year, no nvidia updates to date.LAPTOP_____________________________________________HP Pavillion dv9638usRAM: 2 gigsGPU: Geforce 8600M GSCPU: Intel Centrino Duo T5057 @ ~ 1.5GhzHDD: 340 GigsPage File: 1 gig (soon to be 4 gigs, working on it atm)Audio: RealTek High Definition Audio

Bahh, honestly, vista and nvidia does not like each other.... till nvidia sort out their driver problems, i would suggest to keep those....But, other things on your system can be done to help... First a good defrag with JKdefrag(other defrag util dont do half good as Jkdefrag in safemode command prompt) Also, you can look for your chipset drivers, and, couple of tweaks that you can work on with video card.... Look at this guide from Tweakguide.com http://www.tweakguides.com/NVFORCE_1.html, it can help alot !! If you want to, i can have a deep look at your system and find where we can get a bit more juice Just go to my first sticky and send me the info

Will do when i get home, at work atm, i will send dx diag and all that when i get home But i don't know if i can overclock, i tried to use ntune last night for the hell of it and it would not let me make custom settings. HP probably locked my algoritms.

Overclocking is not an option There are other ways

I sent the things you required to your email. PS your link to the system analyzer is broken. The file it downloads is corrupted. i had to go to the site and get it from there directly. Just a heads up.
