    what process are people goign through to install the new drivers ? Just wondering, I did it once and screwed it up, had to do the ole' safe mode, ati uninstall, ccleaner, driversweeper and then returned to stock ... if you could describe how you jumped from stock I would appreciate it ... would make a good sticky thread actually.

    well , i put vertical sync up and it helps , but shouldnt vertycal sync be for lower graphics cards who cant handle the game on such graphucs ? :)

    not everyone here uses vertycal sync and still run the game on 40 fps...

    Nope, V-sync forces your frame rate to stick to your monitors refresh rate, effectively stopping "tearing" during gameplay, older video cards won't do well with it on, as they cannot keep the frame rate high enough
