Hey guys, I didn't read the goddamn readme file, sorry about that, my stupidity can be sometimes amusing. Anyway, there are problems with 94.24 too. Just instead of adding "This is a problem with NVidia Forceware 93.71 drivers." put something like "This is a problem with NVidia Forcew...

Hi, Hah, I was just going to ask if you monitor is set to some wierd refresh rate. Can you change it to 60 Hz? Otherwise someone with Nvidia card may help you. stay safe, AamirM I can choose between 59.89 and 61. The thing is, now with 61 I can play without sound skips, with Vsync and Turbo options...

Hi, @ProtoKnux: Can't you just disable Vsync? :) . Or disable vsync and enter fullscreen. Maybe some thing heavy is running in background which is stealing CPU time. Try diabling some background thing that you might be running (like anitvirus etc..). Also try playing with some video card settings (...

I have nothing installed on usb ports.

I think there's only a reason and is the graphics card as I said before.

Uhm, okay, but then could it be the IRQ sharing or not? I can't force my graphics card to use other IRQ than 18, and I don't notice changes if I disable the other devices using that IRQ.

Oh, and what is the fucking SM bus? seems like entirely related

That's a stupid idea since that usually requires a reinstall of the OS (for 2K/XP, and maybe 9x, IIRC, this could be worked around, but don't expect good stuff to happen). Although, Vista seems to require ACPI enabled for installation of the OS. Don't plan on it working. although vista may have a r...

I don't know if Turbo Mode works with Vsync or not, I just don't notice any tearing with them both enabled. So Vsync has to be still working when I activate Turbo Mode. Not in Regen, no. VSync + Turbo Mode doesn't work. When you activate Turbo Mode with VSync enabled, nothing should happen. Well th...

Do you have VSync enabled in Regen when you enable Turbo Mode? If so, Turbo Mode doesn't work with VSync. Now, about the graphics card issue(s). I'd ask what card(s) everyone else uses successfully, and pick one based on the opinions (or if there's multiple people using the same card). :) Yeah, I h...

That's what I get.

Anyway, tried x64, doesn't make a goddamn bit of difference. So that speed benefit is bullshit. Sorry about it.

That means... is the graphics card. What should I do?

About that APIC function, I don't have it on my BIOS.
