[SolidSnake]

Hello people,

i brought a new pc thinking my games would run nice, but for some reason, they run slow, and its not good quality with jagged lines etc, im very disappointed and dont know if ive done my settings wrong in the catlalist control center. can some give me good tips on the settings please? ive tried f.e.a.r as a test for my game, my specs are below

AMD 64 X2 3800
2gb ram
200gig hdd
X1300 512mb gfx card
Plus ive got a 19" widescreen packard bell screen ( can someone reccomend good resolution for this screen)


Is my gfx card jus rubbish or have i done something wrong with the settings?
