Re: OBLIVION   

Video Card Info: Dual EVGA nVidia 8600 GTS
GPU: G84
Revision: A2
Driver: Forceware 175.19

I updated the driver about 2 weeks ago, checked nVidia website today,
it's still the newest version out.
The game states that it does not recognize the card, however under
options, the 8600GTS appears in the video card slot.

New card wasn't around when Oblivion came out, it may not know what 
settings to use, so it defaults to a lower setting, just adjust the video 
settings higher until your FPS start to drop off a bit then bring it back 
slightly for best performance. Your card can "maybe" go to high, though 
don't make the resolution too high. Might try disabling SLI, see if that 
makes a difference, but I'd guess Oblivion just doesn't know what cards 
those are.

Update oblivion just in case, enjoy.

VM? Like in VMware?

I was unaware that VMware emulated high end video cards. Or do you mean 
dual-boot? Dual-booting will work, but running WinXP Virtually won't allow 
Oblivion to run, at least I don't think it would.
