Best driver for spiderman 3

bjdj82 · Jun 3, 2007, 09:12 PM

Hello

I have a 7800 GS 512 MB AGP card from Gainward, dual processors and 1024 MB's of RAM.
My question is - what driver will be most suited for Spiderman 3 or at least make the graphics card most stable?

Spiderman 3 crashes a lot and I think it is graphics card oriented.... If there are any other suggestions to why it may crash I'd be happy to hear them

Thanks in advance

its probably not the card m8 i have a failry decent system and run most games ok but spiderman crashes a lot the game is just a buggy mess unfortunatly and needs at decent patch to get it to run stable

You may be right! I think it's the same problem that I find with Spinter Cell Double Agent for the PC - it's just lousy ports of console versions. Someone ought to complain about it. It sucks big time that these f...ing game-companies get away with putting a broken product on the market. And then, as is the case with SCDA, they don't fix it with a decent patch and leave us pc-gamers hanging out to dry. Perhaps there is a lesson in this for me not to buy ports but I don't own a console. I could get a refund but hopes are golden and I was waiting for a patch... BEING A PC-GAMER SUCKS!!! Phew - felt good to get off my chest.

New development!

I'm sure it's my videocard since it, when crashing, says that there is a problem with the display driver. Windows suggest that I decrease hardware acceleration but I can't because I need that to run the game.

What I need is an up to date but stable driver for the card - any suggestions?

PS: The game runs fine at the beginning but then it's like something gets worn out...

You using Vista by anychance????

As the game has crash issues with Vista, which is solved by turnning AA OFF in the Nvidia CP.

No, I'm running XP SP2 but I've tried turning off AA in the CP to no effect...

Try setting the game to run one one core/processor. Hit ctrl+alt+del and right click the game process then click set affinity. Uncheck one of the boxes.
