Turned out to be some Tweaking program that I installed and once I uninstalled it the card works great now.
BTW..ATI customers Service SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They just led me to some generic FAQs and when that did not work they wanted to charge me $2.50 per minute to talk to a service tech. What a company! I said screw that and troubleshot the problem and finally found what was wrong.
Ciao.
Help,
I loaded Painkiller (Demo) and Secret Weapons Over Normandy and they either freeze up or play so slowly that it is vertually unplayable.
tried old and new drivers removing old drivers using ATI uninstaller.
I always disable secondary monitor for gaming.
TIA
