Post your running processes.

Seriously mate, stop posting so many questions. Your XPS is not broken! All computers are mortal, remember that.

sorry, not trying to annoy anyone, im just kind of worried that the people i got it from screwed me. anyways, thx everyone for the help

Eh, I dont blame you for being inquisitive on a $2000+ machine, I would be too if I didnt know a lot about comps

. Maybe it would be best to consolidate all your questions into one and thread (how about this one)? First off, have you reformated and re-installed windows XP, getting rid of all the Dell bloatware (providing it was still on it when you bought it)? Have you run a benchmarking program to see where your laptop stands (3DMark05 from www.futuremark.com is a good one to start with)? Have you updated your drivers? Try searching some of the many guides on the forums to help your with these processes

thx alot k6

, ive got my 7800 gtx running on 440/1250, getting 7500 on 3dmark05, and now have 30 processes running (was 60 before) after a clean install and creating a new partition, temperature varies......... if i have'nt had my notebook running all day my idle temp for the gtx is 45*c, running spyware doctor aswell.

ive noticed that quake 4 is running a hell of alot better, 1600x1200 everything on high, vsync on, but aa and af off.............

do u think these setting shoud be expected for my setup? any other suggestion, ...... love your cooling dock btw.

thanks alot man,

Everything seems right on for your system, I dont see anything out of the ordinary. So you have tried running 1920x1200 and your system chugs along? I've never played Quake 4, but it's the Doom 3 engine, and Doom 3 was pretty easy to run, maybe they beefed it up for Quake 4. What FPS are you getting at 1920x1200?

Kainco · 03-26-2006, 04:29 PM

I hav e GF6800go and run it at 1024x768 High quality and 4xAA and no problem, I get 60fps.
