Hi,
I have a Club3d X600 PRO 256Mb PCI-E. When I bought it I asked for a good gaming card for a resonable price and he told me this was a good one. Now to the problem, when i play games like Half-life 2 and Battlefield 2 there's no lag both games run fine (BF 2 maybe lags a little in the beginning...). BUT when i want to watch a movie the picture tend to freeze and the sound becomes laggy every now and then. There's no difference no matter what player i use (VLC, WMP, Winamp).
Help anyone??

is this watching a DVD or a movie that is on the HD ? your system should be perfectly capable of playing either providing the software is right

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?
