Due to my recent performance issues with SoF/SoD with my ATI card I have been doing some research on the matter. At first I thought to rummage through the live forums in search of insight. Nada. I then decided to see what I could find at the AMD gaming forums and happened upon a series of threads about ATI cards experiencing seriously degraded performance with older games and DirectX 9.0c. The common theme among them: they were all using the very latest version of Directx 9.0c from Microsoft (Feb 2010 last I looked).
On a hunch, I rolled my DirectX installation all the way back to November 2008 and things have never ran better. This even fixed a small camera glitch that I had been experiencing with The Last Remnant.
So, this is something to add to the checklist of things to try perhaps if people are suffering from graphical oddities.
