    I put in a new Radeon HD 5450 (2 gig) video card and when I box two accounts on my machine it is very choppy and laggy. It will run one instance very nicely. I had a nVidia 8600 with 256mb and it ran the two instances just fine. I have done all the normal stuff like make sure all my drivers were up to date, which they are and run the Options.exe. Deleted my eqclient.ini with no luck. I am including my dxdiag if you need any other information let me know. Thanks for any help.

    I installed the same card and I was having the same issue. I uninstalled all of my nVidia software and then installed the AMD Catalyst software and let it install the recommended driver and it works fine. I don't know why this worked but it did and the new card can multi-box smooth as silk now.

    Control Panel uninstall of nvidia drivers doesn't always clean it up completely.
