gaming issue while in Windows under Boot Camp

Hi all! While running boot camp I have realized the games I play run very slowly even on their lowest graphic settings. Every game I've ever played on my mac has run on full settings almost without a hitch. Help please!

Hardware Overview:

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version: 1.21f4

Have you installed the proper video drivers for you card in Windows? Usually when something like this happens, it is due to either no drivers installed or a corrupted install of the drivers.

Vansmith is correct. The drivers that Apple provides with Boot Camp are "adequate" to get you started and running, but there is no reason whatsoever to not upgrade to the latest and greatest drivers direct from nVidia or ATI.

okay, one of the games is nVidia so I'll upgrade it like that. Just go to their website I presume?

Click to expand...

Go to the website of whoever makes the graphics card in your iMac, not who makes the game. I thought iMacs had ATI graphic cards... check "About This Mac" from your Apple menu to be sure.

All current Macs use nVidia graphics. Only the iMac and Mac Pro can be ordered with ATI cards.
