    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    Checked my gf's comp with its ti4200 and it doesn't lag for window with popups. But it's definitely not because she has a nVidia card? (Checked the lag caused by popups is only caused when I have multisampling (AA) enabled on my card, have yet to check on hers)

    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    Thanks, I guess buying a better ATI card won't help then. Would you happen to know if it effects nVidia cards also?

    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    Just to check, has anyone heard of someone with a nVidia card have this problem or is it only confined to ATI?

    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    Hmm that might be true. Does that also apply to when there is a constant solid tooltip (like for minimized programs in the taskbar). Also, is your company hiring :)

    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    That's a good idea, I'm not at my desktop right now but I'll see if I have that unchecked. It probably won't effect MSN/AIM and stuff but it's better than nothing, thanks!

    Lag caused by tooltip/ballon popups with AA/AF

    Hoping one of you video gurus might understand this problem, I can't tell if it's a problem with the game (World of Warcraft, I think this happens on other games but can't remember which ones) or with my card/drivers. I have the most recent ATI drivers and DirectX updates. I try to play games...
