I even have a dedicated PhysX processing unit, a 9600GT. My main video card is a GTX 260, and both cards are overclocked. I have an E8400 CPU which is at stock clocks until my new cooler comes Tuesday. But this game doesn't use the CPU much at all, usage was usually below 50%. This should be changed to enhance performance, I'd like to see multi-thread optimization. Also in the part right before the theater (when you run into the bugs and a jailer), my FPS drops to the single digit area! I'm using the 185.85 WHQL drivers, and I know the proper way to install them (the proper method is in the IMPORTANT link in my signature).
I hope a real performance patch is on the way! Killing a bug at 5 FPS is hard. I have to lower graphics settings and it looks like poop that way  |
If my lowest FPS was 25fps I'd be tickled pink. I don't think I'm getting much more than that max @ 1280x768 (X3@ 3.3G and BFG 8800GT OC2)with settings knocked down quite a bit. I think I'm gonna sit on this one till we get some more patches. I don't mind the look of the game with these settings but it drops to a crawl far to often when there's anything happening.
