    I have a dell xps m1730 with 9800m gtx sli cards ( 512 mb memory) with 4 gigs of ram (ddr 2) and has a intel core 2 duo t9300 (@ 2.50 ghz) and win7 64 bit.

    I should be atleast be doing 20 FPS with Good graphics rating on WoW but im not, i was told by many people these cards would let me crank the graphics and it would perform amazing, i had single 8800m GTX ( had sli but didnt enable it) and it performed better then these cards. So there obviously not working properly and was wondering if anyone could help me out !!! - Went through all the game and NVIDIA settings to. :confused:

    use the latest 260.99 drivers and nvidiaInspect 1.9.4.1 and get a good profile for game! you should definitely get more then 20fps. make sure SLI is enabled as well

    I just got the laptop back from the dell depot and im thinking that the display was connect properly cause no matter what setting i change NOTHING helps it. It seems like its using the motherboard to produce my display because the frame rates are terrible even on loading web pages like the GeForce website.

    Over clocking didnt help same FPS on same settings. =\

    go into device manager and make sure graphics cards are showing and there are no errors.
