Update:
I monitored the graphic card with Rivatuner.
And if was able to find out that every time the game starts to loose its performance, the core clock / shader domain AND the memory clock goes down a LOT.
Rebooted and started to monitor.
Core clock: 1350 MHz
Memory Clocl: 799,20 MHz

After loosing performance ingame i get
Core clock: 364,50 MHz
Memory clock: 100 MHz

It actually looks like a heat problem so far. GPU Z says its at around 60-70 °C

P.S. I wont call Alienware support because im from germany. Not gonna pay a huge phone bill after all this trouble.

Hey Assazzin, Im also from Germany. PM me if you want any additional help on this.

And the behavior certainly looks like a overheating problem like you said, but if the temps are always 70 or below then that is really strange. RivaTuner also can force over or under clocking, so we may be able to learn more that way, but for underclocking like that it almost sounds like it is going to battery mode and then also underclocking. Very strange. Try to track the temps again with RivaTuners Graphs. They keep a good bit of history so maybe you can catch a spike or something.

Hey folks. Just formatted my PC with XP SP3 and it won't detect any sound card, nor will installng either the drivers in your list, OR the official AW ones. HELP!?

also, i've noticed that for some reason my cpu clock speed keeps changing.

i go into system one minute and its 2.33 then i go back in and its 1.33

loaded up cpu-z and it tells me its @ 933ghz, and only 6x multiplier... you ever heard of this before?

any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

yes ! nothing wrong.
your CPU can downclock itself when it have nothing to do... most of time...
It reduce T° and extand batterie life !

There isn't a new update for Bison. It is strange that driver hasn't been updated in years. And there seems to be a different driver for each laptop that only works on that brand. But installs without errors.

Hi guys, my first post. I just ordered the "Gamer's Choice" edition pre-configured m9750: Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 2 GB RAM, Dual GeForce 8700M GT SLI, etc. Is Alienware really still packing this thing with video drivers from October 2007 (156.72), not even the betas on Nvidia's site specifically made for this rig (167.51)? How do those two compare anyway?

I know most of you recommend 174.16 or 174.74, but I'd rather not mess with unofficially supported drivers right out of the box. I would like to run Crysis at fairly high settings though. Possible, or pipe dream? I'm not a stickler for resolution and could drop that down as low as 1024x768 with no AA if necessary. Thanks for any feedback!

@Snatcher42, you maybe disappointed with the machines performance with Crysis. You'll probably not get more than Medium with a 8700M.

As far as drivers I would use the AW Beta driver at the very least. The 156.72 driver causes major issues, including random reboots. I do though, recommend taking the step to a 174.xx driver, you'll notice a major boost in performance with Vista SP1 and XP SP3. People have reported this performance boost is huge with the 8700M.
