I have the game set to maximum at 1024 x 768 (specs in sig) and for some reason when I run the test I get 100% below 25 FPS. Is there something wrong with my 7800 GTX?
 
yeah thats not right, with a 6800GT at maximum 2xAA 4xAF (no soft shadows) at 1152x864 reso i only get 1 precent under 25fps, try cleaning out and reinstalling your mobo and vid card drivers, past that i got no clue check for running pogram that eat up memory since fear needs alot of it.
 
I didn't think it was because my 6800 GT ran it better then this, but this card destroys my other card in every other game, especially BF2.
 
well if you installed the 7800 GTX into the computer with the drivers from the 6800GT still installed that can cause you problems right there
 
Also, make sure that you don't put the CD (or DVD if you have the DVD version) in your computer and then start up the program without waiting for the autorun to start - I have no idea why, but for some reason, the autorun uses 100% of the CPU performance -- which as you can tell totally craps out the system. It isn't a problem though if you wait for the autorun to start because it ends up closing out if you use it to open the game.
 
try changing your in-game vsync setting. i was getting crap performance with 7900gt sli, and i switched this setting, now everything great. i dont have game installed anymore, so i cant tell you from what i switched from and to. also, try the nvid driver profile for f.e.a.r.

i get 100% over 40 fps at 1600x1200, everything at max, hardware sound, etc, except soft shadows. my set up is a little faster than yours, but you should be doing much much better.
 
I re-did the drivers and my average was 66, quite an improvement, yet when I play multiplayer I get about 20 fps even if its just me. I turned off soft shadows and toned down light density with no improvement. What's wrong?!

I have Vsync turned off.
 
VSync didn't do anything but possibly worsen it, besides my monitor can only reach 75hz refresh.

I haven't changed my system at all and my performance went back down to crap for some reason...
 
Yeah, Vsync is a performance hog in F.E.A.R., but not that much. OP should be getting 60+ FPS even with Vsync ON.
