nvidia geforce gt 520mx dosn't work

fsweb2011 · 12-30-11, 05:44 PM

Hi, I have just bought a laptop, Core I7, windows 7, 64 bits, nvidia geforce gt 520mx, etc etc

I've installed SH5 and what's my surprise when, trying to run it, I get an error that there is a problem graphics card (X). All other parameters are ok.

I've googled for the problem, but I found no answer.

So anyone knows if SH5 is not compatible with this type of computers ?

I am puzzled at the fact that I was running it on a "slow" Intel Core Duo, 32 bits, and it worked...this new laptop which is supposed to be good for games, etc, it doesn't...

Therefore demanding games like Crysis 2 or Mafia 2 run only in lowest detail and resolutions fluently. Less demanding games lik Fifa 11 or Sims 3 should be playable even in high detail settings.

I think SH5 comes under 'demanding games', unfortunately.

I have a GeForce 330M in my Toshiba Quosmio laptop and I can play Crysis, Civ V, Silent Hunter 3/4/5 without problem (at settings darn near max). Your video card is much better than mine and should handle it no problem.

I have a Geforce 360M on an Asus G60JX that has moments of minor framerate drop, especially inside the sub. I would be curious to know what your NVIDIA settings were to see if my settings are conflicting with the game's rendering.

Stock settings (no profiles or anything set).

This is a higher-end laptop so the motherboard isn't a cheap one. It also has a Core I7 which helps it move data around (set to 2.8GHz). I threw a SSD in it (OCZ Vertex 3 MAXIOPS) to also ensure data moves quickly. Very happy with it even though it's 'antiquated' by today's standards. It's my home away from home (has 19" screen)

Herr-Berbunch, I still don't get it...how is it possible an older, Core DUO crap, cheaper laptop (over 1 year old) can handle SH5 acceptably but the latest I7, etc etc can't ?

Also, I am not saying that it doesn't run smoothly, it simply won't start the game.

SH5 can't be that "demanding"...must be something else.
