IceBreakerG, I have actually started noticing the same thing. I started Oblivion yesterday it ran pretty bad. Played with NvTray. Set it to High Quality and seemed to be fine 38-70 FPS. Set it to High performance under image quality, and it ran 10-15 FPS. I thought by switching to High Performance would gain me FPS. What do you guys think. Oh one other thing, when on High Performance the GPU only peaked at 68C. When on High Quality it peaked at 83C. This is normal I know, but why didn't the FPS increase when on High Performance?

I've basically attributed the artifact issue to the low clock speeds, even though it throttles up when you start doing GPU intensive tasks (i dont' think it should have to do that), and as a result of this, bad drivers

Just a quick update, for those of you looking for certain features in the nVidia Control Panel, don't waste your time. I have the pdf for the ForceWare release notes, and GPU Overclocking and Temperature monitoring are 2 features that have been removed from the ForceWare drivers in Windows Vista. It says that this functionality will be provided in a seperate downloadable utility (more than likely nVidia nTune).
