Portal ATI x200m chipset bug

Victor Frost

Does anyone know if Valve has fixed the issue Portal was having with ATI Radeon X200 Mobility series chipsets?

I have a friend in Mountain View, CA who can help you with that.

har har. I wouldn't be asking here if I could get a straight answer from Google. A lot of people are having problems with it while some people aren't.

Well, just update to the newest drivers, and see if it works.

If not, just get a new card. They're super cheap. You don't need to get a super high-end card. I was playing Source engine games on an NVIDIA FX5900 just fine. You can get 7000 series cards for stupid cheap these days.

If you are trying to spend barely any money, get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133233

Get this if you want a really good card that can play almost any game, you'll spend 30 dollars more, but its worth it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500019

Get the second card. The first card is way too old, and won't give you the full frame rate. The second one is a steal and will play any PC game ever just fine.

Ehem, "m" means mobility. Its a laptop. And actually, using the latest drivers makes it worse.

Oh. Sucks. This is why I say laptops are not for gaming.
