I will first show you my system:

E8400
DDR3-1600 (7-6-6) 2Gb
3870-X2
Tagan 900W

My 3dmark score is 16744, is that good (read: normal) for a 3870X2???

When I play Stalker (all settings to max, 1920*1200), no mather what I do, V-sync doesn't seem to work (tried the option "disabled" but the"line"-effect remained). Also when I turn quickly to see what's behind me, stalker first slows down to a framerate of 0, then it's back to normal. Also setting the resolution lower didn't solve the problem.

However, when I play GTA-SA (settings to max) everything is working fine. (1920*1200)
When I compare my card to my old 7800GTX one, the 3dmark score is a real improvement!

Could it be that 2GB of memory is just to little.
