    Hi,

    I just receive my new acer 5930G (4go RAM, P8400@2,26ghz, nVidia 9600M GT w/512Mo...)

    The demo of Crysis (1024x768), is so laggy... even with low settings.

    Do anyone know what drivers to install ? (Graphics, CPU...)

    There are normally no driver installs required for intel CPUs. Most drivers for the 5930 can be found here.
    You can also check out LaptopVideo2Go for the GPU drivers.

    Yes I have installed a driver from laptopvideo2go before posting here, but it changes nothing, I'll try a 3dmark test with the acer drivers.

    Whoa, that's not right.
    My 9500M GS-equipped 6920G got a 3618 using the stock drivers, ffs!
    Are you doing this on AC power or battery power?
    Make sure that you're using the High Performance power plan, too.

    Hey, no problem - that's what we're here for!
    Enjoy your freakin' awesome 5930G, by the way.

    EDIT: I also noticed that you were running it at 1024x768. My 3618 score was at a higher res - I think it was 1280x800, but I'm not sure. Gonna get a new result since I reformatted my system and upgraded to Vista Ultimate anyway.

    WOOW nice score

    even with 1024x768 on my 5920G i only get about 4500 OCed

    very impressive...i think the CPU is upgraded also (2.50 GHz)

    Really nice....How much does it cost + where did you buy it from??!

    Can you post some Pics please?......black right?

    I think its time to upgrade for me ('',)

    i bought the acer aspire 5930g for 800 euro

    when you instal windows for the first time you have to instal 31 acer programes so your computer is a bit slower. when i reinstal windows ive got the 3D mark 06 score off 5600!!. without overclock on the normal settings. so its a verry good gaming notebook for the midrange games like CSS or WOW (High = 60-150 FPS) but even crysis is playable on +30FPS on low. so the 9600GT is really nice it is DDR3 :D

    My recommendation:
    Remove all Acer programs, clean up the registry and defrag your hdd.
    Then conduct the check again ... things might seem faster and the score could also be higher as a result.

    Ultimately ... you don't lose anything by re-installing Windows only yourself as it is a surefire way of knowing no extra garbage will be put on it that use up resources in a stupid fashion
