    Hi,

    I am looking at M1730 base config with SLI 8700mGTs. Are there lots of issus with this set up and Vista? XP? I want to play games like Obivion on 1920x1200 without issue-i could care less about frames, just smooth gameplay. Will drivers out of box give smooth gameplay for newer games, like crysis, ut3, oblivion, fear, on decent settings? Again-i only want fluid gameplay, not frames. ANy thoughts? Please help-Dell is USELESS> They said M1330 is just like 1730, um, lol???

    This game does not run Oblivion @ 1920x1200 smoothly sad to say (lowering the res dose next to nothing). Even though I get 20-40 fps it is by no means smooth, it stutters far too often which is most likely because of the constant load areas.

    Crysis runs better on the M1730 than Oblivion. :wink:
