I have been playing farcry for awhile tonight all maxed out with AA and FSAA and not 1 bit of screen lag, also tried NFSUG2 maxed and same thing.... No screen lag what-so-ever. I'll try the BF2 demo if I can find a decent place to download it at..

BF2 still doesn't look really impressive.
I bet FAR CRY looks awesome on it! I wonder what Splinter Cell Chaos Theory looks like. That game has some pretty awesome gfx on it as well.
Thanks P!
