It's not your card. I've been using a 6600GT at 1024x768, high quality, all advanced options turned on except vertical sync. It runs pretty smooth (40-60 fps). The fps drops during monster attacks and steam effects. CPU is Intel P4 3MHz. RAM is 1G. Last time I played it was at 1280x1024 and it is mostly very smooth even at that resolution. There was an occasional problem spot where it hitched a tad. -- sda_mail Scott | Yields over 30 blasts or @comcast.net Amspoker | 80 gentle honks per charge! ^ my email |
