Possibly. Due to the overwhelmig amount of reponses I got that were "are you on crack" or " lol" centric I am starting to think I must have a problem with it somewhere!

Whatever the problem is it makes Mass Effect look poor. I will have a deeper look later on!!

Wander what people think of Burnout Paradise on here? I NEVER get racing/car focused games but I must say that I am loving it!!

Don't trust the in-game 'benchmark'; they're nearly always wrong.

Your 5870 should be owning everything at 720P. Even Crysis at very high should run great at that resolution.

Why not pick up something demanding like Crysis/Crysis Warhead or Stalker: Clear Sky, or ARMA 2.

I might give Crysis a go if I can find it cheap. I'm not really a big fan of FPS's which is why I haven't bothered with it yet. I can handle Mass Effect as it's not 1st person!

Everything is set to max in CCC!

Maybe some screenshots to compare?

mass effect looks pretty good for me - ok its a console port and not as pretty as it could be - but most of the time I'd rate the graphics highly.
