Now I can understand that the 7900 GT isn't bleeding edge anymore, but come on!? If I enable ANY settings, the game becomes almost unplayable, at 10-15 FPS, and even on the max settings, it's not like the game is beautiful.
I also tried the game on my laptop, a Sony Vaio with the Core Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz), 1 GB of RAM, and a GeForce Go 7400, and it simply cannot run. At 800 x 600, with all details off, and every option at its lowest setting, the game is still too jerky and unresponsive to play. Now this laptop wasn't ever going to be a powerhouse gaming machine, but it should be able to play it at some level shouldn't it?

I run a GeForce 6800 and, for a while, had it at 1280 x 1024 without your problems. Of course, I've got a card with 512MB of memory, while most cards come with 256MB of memory. And the performance increase you achieve with higher on-card memory is huge.
I had to change back to a larger resolution because, being older, I'm farsighted and struggle to read those itty-bitty fonts in the higher resolutions, and I'll be damned if I'm going to wear bi-focals to play a game.
BTW, how do you turn on the FPS indicator in NWN2?
