-Taken from CoD 2, just an example of the UI, text, images, textures, etc all appear like they are on extremely low res despite having my actual resolution much higher.

Everything in every game I play looks like its at ultra low-res, with shite textures despite having the options saying otherwise. Not to mention they seem to run like shit. Empire Earth 2 is the worst of them all, it looks pretty good but when there are more then 100 units in the entire map not even on screen my game will freeze+chug+normal+freeze+chug+normal no matter how low I set the options.

Games it happens in : All Steam games, CoD2, Empire Earth 2 doesn't have bad graphics but it's terrible performance wise even when everything is set really low.

Specs-
Mobo: BIOSTAR TForce4U-775
GPU: ATI X800XL 256MB GDDR3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.0Ghz HT Enabled
Sound: On-Board RealTEK
PSU: AeroPower II+SE 550W
RAM: Value Select 1GB Module 240-PIN DDR2 DIMM
HHD: Maxtor 200 some odd GBs

-Thanks
 
Only thing I can think of would be to check the maximum resolution on your monitor, and make sure you're not trying to set your game resolution higher than that. For example, my 17" crt's max res is 1280x1024, if I try to set it higher things default to 800x600 or something. just a thought.
