I bet it is the video card. Sure you have a fast PC, and 256 is decent nowadays, but not great. If you can, move to 512, its still quite cheap. You also don't mention Windows version. I assume XP, but you should mention it. You don't mention your video. This is a 3d game, although it looks a lot like BG, and other infinity engine games. Try 800x600. Turn of shadows (that's a lot of video horsepower right there). You won't miss that much. I play at 800x600 specifically for the smoothness, although I could play higher easily.
