Really ? I seem to notice it more on the newer system, maybe thats due to the higher settings and FPS that makes it noticeable. I know with some games when ATI TruForm isnt working properly it does this, but AFAIK Sin doesnt support TruForm.

I tried having a fan blow onto the card directly and the output quality from the VGA improved. I know these cards had a …
