So to cut down the lag do you set the drawing distance lower? How much ram do you have?

I think that all of them will struggle with SS08  ::) So either settle for lower graphics from the ingame settings, or go for a better (and more expensive) card.

P.S: I've got an ATI X1950Pro with 512MB and it's also having a hard time with SS08 :-\

i'm using the same card with great results and performance, i think it may be a case that another part of your hardware needs updating in some way

May I ask which drivers you're using ? I'd like to give them a try.
