I have the E6850 and a 1GB 4870, and if anything VATS is to sensitive. I
have a hard time picking where to shoot because the curer jumps around
to fast. I have a MS Sidewinder mouse, but I have it running at only
800dpi. When moving around the game world the mouse speed is just right
for my taste. I think I increased the mouse sensitivity in the games
control panel because I like fast mouse look,so maybe that's why VATS is
mess up for me. Wonder what's it's like on a 360 using it's game pad.
