vgn-ar11m game problem

out-of-space — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 01:59:02 GMT

hi!
i got a vgn-ar11m notebook with geforce go 7600 graphic card. according to online tests of that card it should be able to run oblivion. unfortunately i can not play it in a fluid way, even if i choose the worse settings. it gets sooo slow, and if there are more than 1 enemy on the screen it almost stops. i wonder, because far cry runs soo good. what could be the problem? is it necessery to download some newer driver for it? and if yes, could someone give me a link? i already checked the nvidia homepage, but they just wrote, that the drivers for the mobile card should be provided by the notebook producer. or do i need to change some hardware settings?
cheers

Hey,

I think your issue may be drivers, as my 6400 TurboCache in my Vaio VGN FS415m runs Oblivion in Medium/Low @ 1280 x 800 not brilliant but your GFX has alot more grunt so should handle High!

As for the drivers;
Tweak R us

This is a direct link to the latest Mobile force drivers, please note when installing them to do the following;

1. Uninstall current nVidia Drivers
2. Restart
3. Install new Drivers
4. Restart
5. Enjoy Oblivion!!

Regards

just wondering, why nvidia and sony both don't offer drivers themselves..

They do but they are toned down from Sony.

so finally i downloaded and instaleld the driver.
it is called: XTreme-G MobileForce 91.47-v2.50e
i see a different user interface, but, to be honest, i didn't recognize any big performance enhancement. so what can be the problem? is the vgn-ar11m or the grafic card just too slow to handle oblivion?is the game not made for working well with core duo cpus? or is there anything else i could change?
i would be very thankful if someone could recommend any solution to me..
