Yes, went to nvidia's site and d/l the new drivers, funny it's both games, wonder if i should SLI...but have been told that that card is strong enuf for just about any game out there. Puzzling. The chip stays at 48 degrees C, and the chipset hovers around 45. Driving me up a wall, all this, and still lagging......

yeah i think if you have one card in an sli board you are sopposed to put the card in the bottom slot.

If the games start out fine and then only start lagging after 1/2 hour of playing, then SLI isn't going to help anything. Try playing on low settings and see if it still does it after 1/2 hour. You did say you can play fine for 1/2 hour right, and then it lags?
