I have an A64 3400+ Claw with a PNY 6600GT and 1GB PC3200 RAM.

The problem I'm having is with FarCry... I have everything set to "Very High" at 1024x768 with 2X AA and 2X AF, but I still get big, blocky shadows (from overhead trees or whatever) on the arm/gun. I'm getting a steady 60-80 FPS and have confirmed that FarCry is using SM 3.0.

The best way I can explain it is instead of hundreds of little "steps" to make a diagonal shadow across the arm, there are only maybe 5 or 6 big blocky "steps" when shadows are at High, and 15-20 when shadows are at Very High.

I know someone posted the exact same problem as this maybe a month or two back, but I can't find that thread... any advice??

EDIT: Oops sorry, should this be in Software? If so, please move it.

EDIT 2: Moved to Software, please let this thread die. New Thread
