Make sure V(ertical)-Sync is set to, "Force On."

You don't have a lot of video memory but open the NVidia control panal and turn up your antialiasing settings then set it to over-ride any application.  Get it as high as you can without losing too much in frame rates.  Also set vsync to force on.

  Vsyn is forced on........ Anti lasing is 16.

I am not a fan of the 8600 at all.

8600 is more than able to run every detail AH2 can provide for it.

I wouldn't recomment 16x FSAA though, it's just asking too much from that card.

4x is more than enough FSAA for most monitors/resolutions.
