man with that video card you should be able to run wide open in 1600x1200 res.
Do you have the latest drivers?
Im not an ATI guy but maybe someone can tell you what driovers to install for best performance.
I am running a g force ti 4600 128meg card and I am getting 45-78 FPS 1600x1200 with ALL the eye candy on.
With the same CPU!
So you should be doing much better than me.
I think it must be a driver issue.
Look in to it:aok

As a current high-end system player - playing Mohaa and Warbirds3 you have to
be aware of the heat the graphics cards generate running at max cpu load.


try cool down the graphics card with additional fan(s).


migration can be hell ....

Using 70watt peltier on CPU with Zalman noisless heatsink, with 2 additional 80mm fans. Also have Zalman heatpipe GPU cooler with 2 additional fans.....heats not too much of an issue
