well i use a nvidia graphic card too... but your pc is really better than mine :amika:

1.0 open nvidia control panel
2.0 go to 3d settings --> manage 3d settings
3.0 click program settings tab
3.1 select a program to override --> FIFA Soccer 2008 (fifa08.exe) or you can add it by yourself
3.2 specify the settings for FIFA Soccer 2008

anisotropic filtering = 16x
antialiasing - gamma correction = on
antialiasing - setting = 8xS
antialiasing - transparency = supersampling
conformant texture clamp = use hardware
extension limit = off
force mipmaps = trilinear
multi-display/mixed-gpu acceleration = single display performance mode
texture filtering - anisotropic mip filter optimization = off
texture filtering - anisotropic sample optimization = off
texture filtering - negative lod bias = clamp
texture filtering - quality = high quality
texture filtering - trilinear optimization = off
triple buffering = on
vertical sync = force on

4.0 then go here ...\ea sports\fifa 08\data\cmn
4.1 open cfg_pc_h.ini and/ or cfg_pc_m.ini and/ or cfg_pc_l.ini and paste the text below:

save the file(s).

note: if it make your game not smooth than before you can use this instead:

PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_NEAR = -1.0
PLAYER_LOD_HIGH_FAR = 1.0

PLAYER_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYER_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1

PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_MED_FAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_NEAR = 0.1
PLAYERHEAD_LOD_LOW_FAR = 0.0

edit: 5.0 one more important thing is that you create a locale.ini file at ...\ea sports\fifa 08 which inside the file is like this:

[]
QUALITY = 2
RENDER_QUALITY = 2
RENDER_RATE_MODE = 2
//VIDEO = 0
ALLOW_DEBUG_FREE_CAM = 0
