Step 1:
Download this .dll

http://anthonydamasco.net/out/d3d9.dll

Step 2:
Place the .dll in your “\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV” folder and then copy the file, then paste it into your “\Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas” folder.

Step 3:
Open your NVIDIA Control Panel and select Fallout – New Vegas from the first dropdown menu.

Step 4:
Select “Integrated graphics” from the second dropdown menu and click “Apply” in the lower right corner of the window. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Step 5:
Launch Fallout: New Vegas and click Options in the launcher. Set the detail to Low and use the lowest screen resolution possible.

Step 6:
Now click Play, load up a save, walk to the nearest human NPC, and start a conversation. If you DO NOT notice a drop in FPS during the conversation, continue on to step 7. If you DO notice a drop in FPS during the conversation then you have followed steps 1 and 2 incorrectly.

Step 7:
Quit the game to desktop. Now open the launcher again and click Options. Your graphics adapter should now be listed as the NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS. Set the detail to your desired level, readjust your Aspect Ratio and Resolution, and exit the Options pop-up. Minimize the launcher but do not exit it.

Step 8:
Open up your NVIDIA Control Panel again. Now select the High-performance NVIDIA processor from the second dropdown menu and click “Apply” in the bottom right corner. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Step 9:
Restore the Fallout: New Vegas launcher and click Play.

So far all my games on my A42JV play pretty well and startup time is pretty quick too. Should I update to the 260.99 drivers?

Hi everyone,

Want to ask regarding upgrading RAM.
I own an ASUS A42JA with 4GB RAM (2 slots filled).
Where can I upgrade(6GB-8GB) my RAM? can I upgrade at a normal shop without voiding the warranty?
Let say I upgrade to 6GB(2GB+4GB), can I sell the unused 2GB stick?

Thanks.

HDD and RAM is user replaceable, but Asus won't cover those replaced part since its not in their warranty, you will need to refer to each manufacturer if anything happen.

Hi sifus, need help here. I bought a52j 2 months back. Since 2 weeks ago, the laptop perform very well, no problems encountered so far.

Now the major headache comes. In this 2 weeks, I found out that my laptop restarted in the morning if put the laptop on overnight with the battery (with the serious error msg pop-out). I thought to myself, restart only, nothing major wat. Then i realise the nvidia driver is missing. tried to install with latest drivers, but laptop says no hardware detected.

OK, i went back to BIOS and set it back to 'vista/windows7' option from 'reserved' option under the advanced menu. Problems solved. However, after i left overnight again, the laptop restart and the nvidia driver gone missing. I didnt try it under pro-long usage....
So i went back to BIOS setting and tweak another time, again n again. The msg showed 'recovered from serious error bla bla bla...' after it restart.

Anyone knows whats the problem? Is it the temp? or driver/hardware problem? Before this is OK with the stock driver... Optimus Driver version is 189.64

Try open the boottimer.exe properties, unlock it if got that option...
