Graphics lag and Electric control

Whenever I team with an electric control toon, I get massive graphics issues and the game just cludges through until there are less foes or aoe effects go away. Again, this is only when teaming with an electric control toon. I can play almost any other time with no issues. Now, I know my video card isn't the greatest and I think it is just a setting issue within the game. So this is the COH Helper log:

Haven't noticed any lag but I have felt the burning sensation in my corneas as I stare at the blinding light which is emitted by that power set.

Its like a mothership raid or lag hill in ITF, but I know its only the graphics side as people tell me I am still firing off attacks. Then when it clears, my power trays show that the longer recharge powers are recharging. I spent a whole LGTF on my Broadsword/ Shield scrapper charging ahead of an electric control controller and the rest of the team to:
a) stay away from his aoe effects;
b) whittle down mobs before he caught up; and
c) cuz I could.
