    m11x r2 i7. 158 cpu. 525/link/900. 4gb. throttlestop on

    I play a lot of DIRT 2 and i noticed that when i put the settings on Medium the game is A LOT more choppy than when i run it maxxed out on all settings. Even on ultra, native rez, and highest AA the game runs much better than on medium settings.

    Why is this?

    The drivers are not all that great would be my guess.
