    Well, this is kinda a rant-ish thing. Also, this is not an individual problem, because all my friends have this too.
    Stalker: Clear Sky. Runs like crap... i have to run it on high settings, with no AA or AF and the rendering is the 2nd from the bottom... still lags every now and again... and i am OCed... yet it looks no different that the original Stalker, which i maxed out.

    Crysis Warhead:
    I actually need to use lower settings than i used with the origional... what's up with that?

    I call it STALKER 'Blue Screen.'

    After it installed some 'driver' (cough rootkit) I get a blue screen when evere I launch it. I have the STEAM version.

    WH runs fine using easy-e's custom 8800m config. I just finished it an hour ago. I need Narsail's magic 6831FX though to run it MAX.

    Are you actually using a fps monitor tool so you can see when the stutter happens? I know a lot of people have problems with crysis and stuttering even while they are running 50 fps. Actually come to think of it, it was doing the same thing on my 4870 last night. Updating my drivers fixed it though.

    i guess i should say "enthusiast" then, cause I dont use AA and that max would mean im using AA.
