Not having used an 8800 myself I cannot give you specifics.My suggestion is to start on the lowest, and start moving the graphics up, adding water and shadows last.

<p>For starters, we recommend the following drivers for NVidia 8000 series card on computers using Vista 32bit:</p><p><a href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_169.25_whql.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvis...69.25_whql.html</a>     ForceWare 169.25 </p><p>Besides that, you will probably want to enable the 'Reuse Vertex Buffers' option in the Preferences menu in game.</p><p>Everything else is usually up to your personal preferences.  I usually prefer high frame rates over flashy graphics but thats just me.  Once the basics are set up I just tinker with the video options until I find a good balance of performance and quality.</p>
