Ok guys, almost everyone I talk to gets much better numbers in the demo than I do!
Here is my complete system...
-OCZ PowerStream 520 ( All volts are dead on! )
-AMD Athlon 64 3400 Claw ( Stock 2.2Ghz 1Mb L2 cache )
-DFI LanParty UT nF3 250Gb ( 10/15 BIOS; 128Mb AGP Aperature )
-OCZ EL Platinum 3200 ( 1Gb ) @ 2-2-2-5 1T
-GigaByte X800-XT 256Mb AGP 8X @ 500/500 ( stock ) - Arctic Silencer 4 ( Omega 5.1 )
-Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS ( I think I need to update drivers....I dont think i've done that )
-SeaGate Barracuda 80Gb 7,200 RPM IDE ( 25Gb left )
Now, I know the HDD is the worst part of my rig, and i'm saving up for Maxtor 250Gb 16Mb SATA drive, but until then, I have to put up with this
I'm running the game @ 1280x960 resolution ( I hate anything other than this )
Enabling 4xAA in this demo just KILLS my performance....the game probably averages 30fps and it gets really choppy. People with X800XL's say they crank this game with 4xAA and get really high frames! I have no idea whats going on, I have everything on "HIGH" except for lighting ( makes the game ULTRA choppy when I set this to high ), and I have the sound quality on HIGH and EAX enabled.
Any suggestions? I tried turning down some other options to medium like dynamic lights and shadows, but my performance still sucks!
