Game is pretty laggy when running.  I started a new game and the cut scenes play fine, but once Cloud jumps off the train everything lags.  The lag continues even in battle.  Anyone know what might be causing this?  I was running 7th Heaven just fine not too long ago but something happened where my game would crash upon launching so I decided to do reinstall (and clean registry keys), redownload the mods (ugh) and restart from scratch.  Now I have it running just fine (so it seems) but there is noticeable lag, which did not occur before.  I'll post some info and let me know if there is anything else I can provide.  Thanks in advance!

Are you using any new hardware since before when it wasn't lagging?

How about any driver updates since before?

Your setup looks fine, but remember that 7H is highly untested across all OS/Hardware/Software setups, so dealing with lag issues is not something we can help too much with. Your load order looks correct, your App.log shows you using the GPU (765M is plenty enough), and your GC worked perfectly. My only suggestion from here would be to fiddle around with the Graphics and Rendering tabs inside Workshop -> OpenGL to see if you can manage better results.

Sorry I couldn't help more :|
 
You know what it could be that I updated my gpu drivers recently.  I'll mess around with that and then do what you recommended.  Thanks for the reply!
 
It depends what you call lag.  Two reasons I get it are:

1.  Bad frame limiters (Reunion fixes)
2. Not in full screen vsync mode.  FF7 hates window mode with a passion.
 
Well, now that I think of it perhaps lag wasn't the right term.  What it looks like is that everything just goes slower.  Cloud jumping out of the train, the transition from field to battle (swirl effect is super slow), even when bringing up the menu the boxes come up slower (especially noticeable when loading a game, the load bar loads slow).

Luckily, after uninstalling and reinstalling my gpu drivers everything began to run smooth like before.

These mods are awesome by the way, definitely enjoying replaying this =D
 
I just noticed when I run SLI through Nvidia Control Panel, it causes my game to run very slow.  When I take it off (or rather running SLI in performance mode) the game runs very smooth.
 
SLI breaks a lot of stuff. I'm not surprised it doesn't work right with a game from 1998.
