The only noticeable difference I see from your system and mine is,I
have a NVidia 5900se card. I used to run ATI cards,but I got sick and
tired of compatibility issues. With the NVidia I never have that
problem,and I can see the smoke/fog to boot. I'm not slamming ATI
cards,but for what we pay for them, They ought to work on EVERY game
on the market. (with smoke/fog) Good luck!
