My drivers, or more CCC seem to have screwed up....no longer does the 3D preview just static pictures...also they were a bugger to install, had to add the second GPU manually after the SECOND install attempt...8.8 were fine. Lol. Anyway, lag only occurs for me when i try and use the scope (2D) or i pick up multiple lots of ammo etc, causing text to be displayed in the top left corner of the screen which also causes lag stutter. Makes playing the first mission near impossible...managed to snipe ONE guy and wasn't quick enough with the next. Lol It's obviously a driver problem, though. Yes, i'm under Vista Business x64 (4GB RAM) so i'm amazed it runs at all...also have stuttering with NOLF 2 if i have hardware cursor on and there's more than a couple enemies on the screen. Contract Jack runs fine, though... Weird, isn't it? Though, nVidia's drivers seem much much worse these days. I do have a pair of 4870X2s but i haven't tried it on that machine yet, HDD fried (HATE Western Digital!) Ah well. Lol Interesting….having similar issues on a 3870X2 with Catalyst 8.9.

It’s obviously a driver problem, though. Yes, i’m under Vista Business x64 (4GB RAM) so i’m amazed it runs at all…also have stuttering with NOLF 2 if i have hardware cursor on and there’s more than a couple enemies on the screen. Contract Jack runs fine, though…

Weird, isn’t it? Though, nVidia’s drivers seem much much worse these days. I do have a pair of 4870X2s but i haven’t tried it on that machine yet, HDD fried (HATE Western Digital!)

Ah well. Lol

I have also had problems with Catalyst A.I. on my card, but after I had a huge crash related to the drivers I haven't been able to use Catalyst Control Center at all, which means I can't turn the A.I. off again. And I just can't stand the thought of re-installing Windows again before absolutely necessary as it's so much trouble. What I'm trying to say is that I have no experience with NOLF on HD 3870X2 but the one you mentioned yourself; horrible lag. I tried after you posted here. At least you know you're not the only one... Hey, strang3love.

Why'd you read my review and bother to post here if it doesn't interest you? Is there something about my blog that screams "I've got nothing but reviews of games that came out an hour ago"? And who says this is a new review anyway? Regardless, many people haven't played this awesome classic, so hopefully I'll get at least some of them to check it out. moceanu:
