Not much lag. I ping 150-180 on a cable modem.

There is more of a graphics lag than a network lag, so your PC spec
makes a big difference.

The graphics engine was designed to have a long life and most machines
can't handle everything on full.

I have a P4 2.8 GHZ and a Radeon 9700 pro 128mb graphics card, but
it's  still choppy in the towns on half settings. 512mb memory also
makes a difference.

Saying that, the visuals are still great, even on the lowest settings.
