Well, all is pretty good with my system *cough*awesome*cough*, running great FPS at hi-res with high detail settings, except when it comes to smoke. For example, in NFS:U2, when I do a burnout, the smoke made drops the framerate from about 30-40FPS to about 3 or 4 FPS. Why? Is there a problem with the 9600XT and smoke? Or something wrong with the driver? I haven't OC'd it, I have tweaked the settings, but to no avail. Is there anything I can do or is it a problem with the card? Or is there something I have missed somewhere?
Thanks.
Thanks.
