    I'm a bit concerned that my graphics card isnt performing as well as it can/should.

    Can anyone tell me for comparison if theyve been able to get smooth play on CoD 2 at full res (1680x1050) with high settings? Mine was not smooth at all with those settings.

    Also, during gameplay (CoD 2 even at lower settings, SWAT 4, and others) I get occasional lag moments. With my old PCI desktop gpu this happened a lot when textures and stuff were transferred in and out of graphics memory, but this is pcie and shouldnt really do that. Does anyone else get these small hangs?

    I'm running the latest drivers from acer (not omega)

    Thanks.

    i've observed similar symptoms with the ati X1600 while gaming america's army 2.60. waiting for driver update to resolve the 3d gaming issues.
