Okay, I'm really getting irritated.
Specs:

9800pro
abit nf7s
About two months ago I got a 9800pro. I fired up ET, map was railgun. The entire map is in solid fog. I got so much mouselag it was ridiculous--completely unplayable. Note, I was previously playing on a GF4 4200 and everything was great. I didn't change any settings. (The current ATI driver at the time fixed the ET issue from the last version.) So I figure I was busy with other things, I just wouldn't play ET and would deal with it later.
So yesterday I decide to give Far Cry a shot. First things first, I remove my catalysts as per the ATI site and grab the latest version. Start the game on moderate graphics settings. The first bit has fog, ugghh. I get through the starting tunnels, the fog/mouselag goes away. The game is liquid smooth. I end up inside a METAL PIPE and there is the "dusty room" effect, ie, fog. Instant mouselag. While I'm getting shot at. Unplayable
So now my problem is no longer driver or game specific. I don't know what else to try. "Ohh, your settings are too high, change this, change that." Well, I was playing ET on a GF4 and it was perfect and I had ZERO problems. Pop the radeon in and instant mouselag. There is no way that the GF4 should outperform the 9800pro in ANY situation, at the exact same graphics options configurations no less.
This is sort of frustrating. I get a nice video card and I can't play FPSes.
Anyone have any ideas?
