Hmmm, interesting to see both Fast Writes and Side Band Addressing working.
Traditionally nVidia has been very conservative.
Maybe we'll see a larger performance boost yet!

Is this the new 1.0-7xxx series driver?  If so, which revision?

As another poster said, if it's the brand new 1.0-7xxx series driver,
there were reported performance issues with moving windows.
Have you updated to 1.0-7664 (past buggy 1.0-7174)?

[ 7664?  Wow, that's a lot of builds in a short period of time! ]

I turned Fast Writes and Side Band addressing on. It is off be default.
