after a bit of tweaking my 6800u is astonishing. Far cry with every thing turned up and at 1600 x 1200 full AA & AF runs as smooth as silk. They only thing i cannot explain is that on far cry, COD, and tomb raider if i move quickly the texture tears slighlty. This happens at all res and detail levels so i do not think it s the gpu running out os steam. do you think it may be the monitor - its an old 17" mico vitec.
