A couple of quick questions mate:

1) What viddy driver are you using .. and

2) Thats a pretty heavy duty setup ya got there can you provide some more details by using say SISandra or something so we can try and help you out more

And welcome to NGOHQ

No worries mate on Puter savvy

You could try the NGO Optimized drivers here and see if they make a difference:

yeah,

like mac daddy said, try the ngohq drivers and see if they make a difference.

i think they way better then the omega zeropoint crap ones. Since i installed the ngo drivers im experiencing alot better fps rates and image quality.

good luck
