Would really appreciate if someone could tell me in plain english (or link to if already been done) what each of the nvidia settings mean and do? Have an 8800gt but i don't think i'm getting the best out of it due to my lack of knowledge. For example, CoD United Offensive seemed to run better when i was using 7300gs, i've messed around trying lots of different settings in the Nvidia control panel but i just can't get the game to look good and play well! I was expecting to be able to play an older game like this on all of the highest settings possible with this card.
 
I seem to remember CoD:UO being very slow in a couple of places, there was one early level when you come round a little forest to look out over a snowy field with a barn full of jerries in the distance and flares being let off over head. I was getting like 15-25fps there with dynamic lighting on full.

Can't remember the exact system I had at the time but I think it was a P4 2.7, 1gig PC3200C2 and a heavily clocked 6800. Should have been more than enough to handle a Q3 engined game, but I think it may be heavily CPU limited in the odd place.
