    just overclock it, you get anywhere from 10-30% increase in performance! But if you decide to, g2 remember to watch for temps!

    First lag generally relates to your network. If you are having low FPS that is different. If that is the problem try playing the game at lower quality. Try using windows XP if you want higher FPS.
