    I think it's that I need to get off the stock video card drivers that came with it from the factory respawn disc but I'm getting horrible performance in games. BF2142 I'm getting 25fps avg. Prey I'm getting about 10-15fps. Guild Wars is giving me about 30-40fps and oblivion is giving me about 20fps.

    All of these games are running at 1600x1200 and have 2aa (excluding oblivion).

    Before I reformatted my hard drive I was getting 60fps on bf2142 with 4aa and everything maxed and the same with prey.

    Could I have some links to places that would have drivers for SLI laptops.

    What drivers were you using before you reformatted?
