Hi
Reading the many forums on the net about people tweaking the hell out of everything to get a few frames here and there...is it worth it...look it is simple the game needs a high end machine to enjoy as intended...if you dont have at LEAST a P4 2.6 with 1Gb ram and a 6800GT its not going to be worth running... I struggle at times with 1280x1024 with most setting on high but shadows turned off and HDR enabled...it looks fine to me and runs an avarage of 30 FPS outside with a min of 20 FPS in heavy fights or many poeple on screen (just acceptable to play) and 50 - 60 FPS indoors... so that being said its never going to be a consistant FPS regardless which is a shame.
At first I was disapointed with the FPS for a machine that cost around $2,600.00 AUS but it seems everyone including those with better machines are having FPS drops in some places so I think the game shuold have been better tested to perform with hardware.
I have a XFX 7900GT 520Mhz factory OC, AMD 64 x2 4200+, Corsiar XMS3200, 2048MB, 2-3-3-6, AMD AK8N-SLI premuim, Western Digital 74Gb raptor, with a 3DMark 06 score of 4979 and I think my FPS are fair enough after reading up on the trouble people are having its a shame when you can go get an Xbox 360 for the cost of the card and play it the same if not better on a HD tv 🙁 also the game doesnt seem to detect the 7900GT cards?
For me at least I feel al little cheated by this games heavy performance hit on what is really a decent system I hope this isnt the future of PC gaming otherwise we will all be poor.
