    Far Cry performance on a 9800 pro..

    Look at my sig below to see my system specs. When I am running Far Cry @ 1280x1024 and all the details on very high I notice quite a bit of mouse lag and chop. I thought a 9800pro would easily do that on far cry. What is the bottleneck on my system? Should Far Cry be running faster?
