Also, from what you are telling, your friend's system seems to having hard time keeping up with the performance level. I don't think what you describe here is a micro suttering issue. Micro suttering should be apparent regardless of the resolution (somebody correct me if I'm wrong).
Maybe! He said it and I trust his views first of all. It's something I looked before buying another 4850. From what I read during my quest for info is that higher settings causes it more. I've NOT experienced it with one card @1600X1050.

Since we've tested many games, we can say that micro stuttering occurs in Half-Life 2, Crysis, Race Driver Grid, Need for Speed Carbon, TES4: Oblivion and 3D Mark Vantage. To be fair, we have to admit, it takes such demanding settings to bring the HD 4870 X2 to her knees. But in the future, with new games, the fps will decrease. Not later than that time the problem will rise again, while those who use big screens or those fans of FSAA will have to deal with the problem all the time.
