Advice for running FIFA better on PC

[sphanlon]

I already tackled some of the issues figuring out how to make NHL 07 playable.

-if you have updated a graphics card or sound card ever, disable them in bios and delete, not just disable the drivers. You probably already did some part of this when you upgraded.

-if you have a geforce card, downgrade to one of versions of the more stable 80 series nforce drivers.

-if you have an AMD Dual Core processor, do this:

-after that, try deftonesmx17's patch

Huh? NHL 07? You probably mean FIFA.

Your first suggestion should mention that users need to disable their on-board graphics and sound cards.

As for your second suggestion, I'm using 92.xx drivers and with deftonesmx17's suggestion to change rendering mode to 2 the game runs completely smoothly.

1. No, I meant NHL. It had similar issues. I figured it must be an EA sports xbox to pc port issue. I'm just throwing stuff out there, not 100% that it is applicaple to this specific game.

2. Yes, thank you, I wasn't clear. Disable and delete everything for the old(integrated) graphics and sound.

3. I'm glad it works well for you. A lot people had success running NHL after going back to older drivers. Many claim the 80 series was better/more stable/had less issues. I just know games run better for me with nforce 84.21 rather than the newest.
