Lag when there shouldn't be.

[TEN0X]

When playing the game on medium to high settings, when you pan to the sky or zoom out there is significant lag. My dxdiag specs are as follows:

You can try a 60Hz refresh rate and see if it will help, but I don't think you'll see much of a difference personally.

I run the game on my 9800 Pro w/128MB in the same resolution of 1024 x 768 32Bit color. but at 85hz.

It may be a driver issue with the game. The newest drivers don't always prove the best. I'm still using drivers from August 2004 on my system and everything runs great here. The only time I start to see lag is when the city starts to get very very large and there are many buidings and characters on the screen.

You may want to try a older version driver. If you do make sure you use the catalyst uninstaller utility and remove the current driver before you install the older driver. You should always remove the current driver before installing another one.

As an example, a recent non-related problem, viewing water in the game, was cured by switching back from a newer current ATI driver to the same one that I'm using. The person in this case had the same video card.

It's worth a shot if the problem really bothers you.

Thanks, I'll try that. And also thanks for the quick response.

You can also try running the game in the 16-bit color mode from the Settings menu and see if that helps too.

Also, the X600 is newer than my 9800 Pro so you may not find a driver for it as old as mine and make sure the driver you decide to try is supports your X600.
