I think this still boils down to the game being CPU limited, as I have read. Your 8800 was the same card that I replaced. I guess it was dumb of me to buy this 4870 for this game - I mean the game can run on VERY low end hardware to begin with. That's smart for Blizz because anyone and everyone can play and that's just more income. If I had to do it all over again I would have just kept my 8800 and saved the money for a whole new system upgrade. Anyone want to buy a 4870? -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
