I am running at GT, I can't remember where the GTS comes in the scale of things but the only things I touch in the NV 3D settings are 4x AA and 4x AF set to override on both if I remember correctly.

What sort of 8800GTS have you got?

I'm running a 320 MB version, that's overclocked to around 650MHz GPU and 1350 MHz or so on the shaders (plenty of headroom in these cards, depending on your cooling).

 

I recommend you examine the following settings:

* run a reasonably new version of Forceware (the 169 series is good, plus the newer 178.13's are good too) to ensure you've got an up to date driver with the latest application tweaks (not really relevant to Lock On given its age, but make sure you're running a driver version that's a bit newer than your video card, as that way you'll ensure you got any hardware specific tweaks that Nvida may have changed in the drivers)

* DirectX pre-render setting (i.e. rendering frames in advance) can be turned down to 1 from the default of 3 for improved FPS :)

* Ensure the multi-core setting for Forceware is enabled if you've got a multi-core CPU, as then forceware will offload some of its rendering to the 2nd CPU :)

* consider overclocking your video card if you have good cooling on your 8800GTS

 

If you want to play with application specific settings, then I suggest you look at nHancer, as it's a hell of a lot better than the standard forceware application profiles and allows you to easily over ride them etc.
