    What results do you get with SLI off? I don't think Vegas 2 works well with dual graphics tech.

    That's still very low, only at 1440x900? Which section of the game is this?

    Hmm, I've not progressed that far with Vegas 2, primarily because I've been playing a lot of multiplayer games. Based on benchmarks though, using any manifestation of an 8800 you should be able to pull at least 25fps solidly at 1680x1050, let alone 1440x900. You don't have Anti-Aliasing turned on in the control panel anywhere do you?

    Hmm, fair enough. Not sure then... I'll see how I fare when I get to that part of the game.

    Imran, try getting the newest BETA drivers from NVIDIA. They are much better and give a definite performance increase.

    When I had a 8800GT they gave me quite a bit of increase in performance.

    beyond the 8800GTS G80? Yes indeed, but Vegas 2 doesn't run that badly even on an X1900...

    60fps on high settings is excellent, but that is a very low resolution, so it's to be expected.
