I have an HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC, WinVista with 4.00Gb and a 64-bit Operating System. The problem is that I have to update the Video Card Driver but I dont know whats the best for me....

I read something about ATI Mobility Radeon drivers but I still dont know which one!!

9500, 9600, 9700, X300, X600, X800, X1300 ... ????????????

Can someone help me Please!!!!!!|||The above is incorrect.



If you have a dv2700 with Vista 64-bit and the Intel 965 integrated video, this is the driver you need...

BTW - It says on the Sims 3 system requirements page that you will have decreased performance on any integrated video chipset (which yours is). To get the best game play and video quality it is always best to play on desktops with a gaming video card. Obviously you don't want to just throw out your laptop and incure the expense of a desktop just for one game so your best bet is to update your video drivers to the latest and greatest and run the game with lower detail settings to reduce lag.

Click start detection to let it scan your system, once it is done you'll see a list of drivers for your laptop.



You can also download and run this tool to get some more detail about the graphics in your laptop: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/



No install necessary for GPU-Z, just unpack and run.|||this is the one you need for that system



http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw…|||Are you trying to play a game? Or are you reinstalling drivers? Because if you're trying to update it to play a game, you're likely out of luck because that would be a hardware issue. Otherwise, you can just go to the HP website and download the Vista 64-bit drivers from there.
