Improve Windows (Boot Camp) Graphics Performance?

[jjshammas]

I recently created a new Boot Camp install of Windows 7, primarily for gaming. My graphics performance (really only 3D graphics) is absolutely horrible. I get all-around great graphics on the Mac end, including in performance-heavy games, so I'm not really sure what the problem could be.

I have an NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M. The drivers seem to be up to date.

Any tips I could try to improve the quality?

What do you mean it's horrible?

What do you mean it's horrible?

Anything 3D stutters and lags down to around 8-10FPS.

That's weird. When I had my 15" with the 330M, it only crashes but frame rates were consistent except for games because the graphics can't handle it.

Try cleaning out the fans.

The drivers seem to be up to date.

What they seem and what they actually are are two different things. What version are you running?
