it works fine at 1024x768 in CoD, with high settings

my card can do that 2

actually, the quake engine is the best over all games..... thats why games like pop and the newest games cant be played on our "low-end" cards, but games with really nice gfx and "new" ones...such as CoD (or even Enemy Territory)

can be easily played with mx cards

Below 30fps is choppy?

Perhaps you didn't understand my post: the human eye is incapable of detecting changes more than about 12 times per second.

i saw it.......have you try playing a game w/ 12fps

okay let me rephrase.....any thing under 30fps is not very enjoyable, especially first person shooter

@raiserblade2003: I owe you an apology - see my post about my new card/drivers.

What it appears to do with the bad drivers is give a lot of output, then stop and think while it builds the next frames, then give a lot of output again. This gives the choppy appearance you were talking about.

So I was wrong when I said you couldn't see choppiness at 30fps - if your drivers are doing the same sort of thing you may well be seeing that effect. So what you may be getting is 32fps for 7/8 of a second, then a 1/8 second pause. That averages out at 28fps, but would give the choppy appearance.
