Leaving until problems are fixed

I am taking a vacation from Mxo for a bit until graphic card problems are fixed. I just got a sexy new Alienware comp and the graphics are totallty 1337 for mxo but the freaking lag is killing me. So until the compatability issue with the Nvidia 8800gtx is fixed and working in mxo I will not be playing. I can't go in two a building without hitting every lag spike imaginable. I can barley pvp outside anymore either. So ta-ta, farewell and see you on the otherside. (Yes that means the movie production is postponed as well) My account shall end on the 21st   PEACE!

Users with all kinds of setups have been reporting problems, affecting some GeForce 8800 cards, and particularly the GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB. According to users from NVIDIA, eVGA, NVNews, Rage3F and Guru of 3D forums, the problem causes random slowdowns, often halving frame rates until the user alt-tabs out of the game and back in again. The problem doesn't appear to be tied to any particular hardware configuration, Windows version, or display setting. NVIDIA Technical Marketing Director Nick Stam confirmed today that NVIDIA is aware of this issue, and new drivers will be released some time in July to fix the problem.


So I'd try alt-tabbing.  Same thing for that Mech Liaison on Recursion.  Try looking for answers in places other than the MxO forums and they might reveal themselves.

So in other words, this is actually a problem with the graphics card, despite popular belief.
