I play at 1400x900. Yeah I do find Seth's stage causes a bit of lag but only online, never offline.

Couldn't have asked for a better deal there farz, that card azza sold yea would be just fine and at a great price too. I'm sure you'll be happy with how it looks and runs.

I reinstalled drivers recently and played SFIV and found online that Seths Lab was starting to really lag in a number of matches (I swear hitting the ? causes the game to pick the worst stages). So I exited out and found the second GPU on my 4870x2 wasn't enabled. After figuring out how to get crossfire working again I went back in and it hasn't lagged since. Some of the stages seem to require a fair bit of grunt from the graphics card.

I guess if the OP is only playing friend matches or ones he hosts then it shouldn't be a problem to get a weaker graphics card and just not pick the dodgy ones. Or hope they are optimized better in SSFIV.

I've a 9800GTX, not a jaw dropping card by any means but I've everything maxed out @ 1680x1050 and never have any slow down at all, maybe its a driver thing.

ArmA 2 on the other hand... .god damn.

I have a Radeon HD4850 on a 2 years old Core 2 Duo. Running 64-bit Win7 with 4GB RAM, no problem getting 60fps constantly with 1680x1050 on 20" monitor or 1280x720 on 42" plasma tv.

The only thing is I'm a suck player.

Arma 2 is cack if you ask me. It's sat on my desk since day 1. I've a good machine and this thing would barely run at all even on low settings so i think it's some bad coding or something cuz there's no game my machine would have trouble playing. I was well disappointed too as I always liked the Op. Flashpoint series.
