Try enabling Vsync, to see if that helps any.
Eagle, Unreal Tournament works fine with a GF3 providing you patch it etc (I play it using one) Although the previous Offical Nvidia drivers had a few problems with the game (especially with AA), the latest ones apparently do not.

uH
I have a GF4 and I have NO problems whatsoever with any FPS games. As trotterwatch said, go into your display properties and enable vsync. It helps a ton. IT limits your FPS to your monitors refresh rate, but you wont get most of those problems. Eagle, UT does work fine.. do you have the latest version? latest nvidia drivers?

The severe lag was something which was a problem with the last version of the Detonator Drivers when playing UT, for some people.
I experienced that same problem, but it was amplified along with the sound echoing when combined with Antialiasing (though the Framerate, according to the counter) still remained high.
Check this link out Eagle, re: other users with same problem

It worked fine after I first installed it, then it just started giving me this hassle every time since. Half-Life is totally patched up to date (which knocked Op Force into not working grr), same with mouse, vsync is on, latest drivers etc. It sucks as I love using WorldCraft... I *had* thought it may be a bottleneck with the graphics card lagging behind the processor. Is that even possible..?
I may even go to the extreme of building a new "Half Life" friendly PC...
EDIT: Discovered the game runs fine in software mode, and very well in OpenGL mode... D3D issues?

all fps games are the same if one works fine then the same for others.
try useing opengl it looks nicer and may fix your problem if you're in d3d mode.

I had that in MW4 when I got this new motherboard... fixed it. The lagging problem happened on BOTH my gamepad and mouse, but only in D3D. The GFX lagged, the response from the gamepad was slow, the mouse cursor was laggy, but the sound in MW4 when you mouseover the buttons was perfectly synched... HMMM.
In my case there were 2 things. First, I have a USB Logi gamepad (see sig) and it lagged in MW4... axes and buttons. Well, it was plugged into a self-powered USB hub. Just for the heck of it I plugged it right into the I/F card... no lag
stupid hub...The other thing causing the mouse cursor lag was that I was on triple buffer mode in the global GF3 options. Now if this works the way I think it does, it's just rendering 3 frames ahead. Turned it off... presto, all lag gone
