    You should also make sure that you don't have vsync turned on.

    And turn off colour correction (think that is what its called)

    Check your Catalyst Control panel too to check AA and AF are not switched permanantly on.

    I assume you're running on a 1280x800 (WXGA). Those are very demanding settings . . put it on 2X/8X or 4X/8X and it should be better.

    I've no idea, all I know is it eats up fps with seemingly no benefit for visual quality.
