    Are there any R3 owners with Neverwinter Nights 2 installed, am running 1366x768 with mix of high and medium with some shadows off with the GT540M and I get bad performance on my machine :(.

    My machine came with bloat infested win 7 home 64-bit, the nvidia drivers are 267.21

    i7 2637
    GT540M 2GB
    4GB DDR3

    Any advice/help is appreciated.

    That game was actually quite taxing. Make sure you force the game to use the 540M GT and consider dropping Anti Aliasing and check again with FRAPS.

    Make sure it is fully updated as well that game had a list full of bugs before being updated.

    Hi,

    What yiddo is saying is right, make sure you whitelist the game properly and also update the graphics drivers following the steps in this article. Let us know how it goes :)

    Thanks Yiddo & Natalia J, the game is updated and is white-listed, I'll probably do a wipe and re-install win 7, will let you folks know how it went :).

    As mentioned though the game is quite taxing I seem to remember getting average frames maxed on my 5870M in my G73 so the 540M may struggle a little. Great game though :)
