    FFXI + WIN 7 + Slow FPS

    So Like the title says,

    Im running FFXI and anywhere I go, it's like 5-12 fps Max, I'm laptop might explode if I go to Whitegate. I had no issues with fps when i was using Xp, Now I'm on Win7, My laptop should run it fine since I had vista on it and FFXI also ran smooth(lolvista).

    Laptop Specs:
    AMD Turion X2 (2.0ghz) (lolamd)
    3gb of Ram
    Win7 64bit

    I downloading the latest drivers and see if that helps too but Suggestions are welcome

    Did you uninstall them, reboot into safe mode, use a driver cleaner, then install the new drivers?

    catalyst control center and the actual drivers are two different things. you can use drivers without the CCC. google ati drivers and find the 9.x versions. I tried the 10.x on 7 and it fucked all kinds of stuff up. 9 works like a charm.

    How are you people installing 9 on Windows 7? When I choose 7 as my OS it doesn't give me the option of downloading past drivers like it did with XP.

    They still call them Catalyst drivers, but the CCC is totally unrelated, confusing I know.

    The last Catalyst drivers I had success with on XP was 9.1 but I don't see any 64bit 7 supported 9.1 drivers, which ones are you guys having luck with?

    Cool, I'll try them but there were tons of choices newer than the 9.1 I was using on XP so I wasn't sure which one to pick.

    Working much better than the 10.1 drivers I was using, haven't noticed any of the goofy glitches I'd randomly get yet either so hopefully everything is all good.

    make sure you're downloading http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D--...load-1655.html and cleaning out the rest of the old drivers (need to do it in safe mode)
    Random question but are you using windower? fullscreen? try switching around if you are using windower just for the hell of it to see if it changes anything.

    That much of a drop def isn't because of the load on the card, so aero disabling is probably redundant (although weird shit works sometimes) try using fullscreen no windower and see if there's an increase, every now and then windower would cause weird shit for me when I played.
