games NEVER update drivers. Games usually runs the directx updater or other needed software like visual runtimes. But never drivers.

I find also strange....

I have full shadows on my GTX260 and no Problems...Run on a Quadcore...

....really strange. Running a Q9550@3,4GHZ, 8GB RAM and a Zotac GTX260 AMP on W7 64bit the frames drop dramatically inside the boat and I noted mouse lags. As soon as I disable the shadows everything is smooth.

GTS 250 (1GB Onboard) here.

Using a dual core AMD 4800+. 32-bit XP.

No problems here, though i did turn the shadows down 1 notch because i couldn't tell much difference between the two.

Does anyone with WinXP have this problem ?

Mine is fine, nvidia 260GTX

One good point, install at least a program to look at the
gpu temperature.

I had already installed Rivatuner and use these settings,

But the shadows are SOOO pretty!

Outside the ship basically fire, also pretty, is about all that causes frame rate loss for me (Win7 64bit, GTX260) but inside is totally swimmy and difficult to move. I'm pretty sure it's AA, but without AA outside looks like crap and I can't see the horizon or distant ships worth a damn.

Actually SHV DOES ask you to update your video drivers when it checks your system specs. It doesn't do it for you, but does request you do it.

It ask me to update the drivers before it would install.

It ONLY CHECKS your current drivers. It DOES NOT install any drivers.
