Ati 3870 + TV out = slow gameplay ?!!?

Weird situation. It's an MSI ATI 3870 512MB DDR3. When the tv-out is turned on the gameplay gets very slow and the graphics are...hm...well, it gets kinda bad. Then, i have to go out of a game, and turn off the tv out, and only then a game goes smoothly. Windows XP SP2 Catalyst drivers from the MSI CD, version 8.43.

Have you tested the AMD Catalyst 8.3?

Yes, I think so. But i have problems with setting full 1680X1050 resolution with all other drivers but the ones that came on the MSI cd.
