Hi there, I'd really like to find out how to update my graphics drivers on my graphics card, or to see if theyre up to date. How would I go about doing this?? I have a Dell with an Intel Xpress Chipset.

The main reason I want to update is because In playing Sh3 the game doesn't model reflections at all. Secondly, if I do update the drivers and get reflections, would this cause a FPS drop?? Or would it be fine?? Right now I get about 20-30 Fps in the open ocean and about 15-20 in harbours with GWX 3.0 installed.

Thanks,

Casey

Google Nividia or Ati\AMD Drivers depending on which Graphics card you have.

If you have a separate card from nVidia or ATI/AMD then take Firewall's advice.

If you don't have a separate card and you're just using the onboard graphics controller that came with your motherboard/chipset, then (assuming it's a Dell computer) I'd go to dell.com and see what's available for download for your particular system. I believe you can punch in your machine's serial number there and get a list of all available drivers and updates for whatever hardware came with it.

You can also try running Windows Update, sometimes that will tell you if there are newer drivers out there for your hardware.

Okay, well if that seems to be the problem and fixes my reflections would that make the FR noticeably drop with them on?

You can download CPUz for free to know what VC you have.
