Yup Maxes at 65 FPS. I never see higher.

That's a good thing to me, 80fps + just looks too smooth to me. In quake It was good but in games that are trying to immerse you in atmosphere, the low framerate just makes it feel less like a game and more cinematic
 
I've turned it off in every way I can think of. Still no dice. Looks like an engine restriction. Unless there is some sort of console command that would remove a cap.
 
Anyone with an 8800GTS 320mb got Fallout 3 and can post some benchmarks? ;) I want to pick up fallout 3 after my last exam and I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade my video card when I do.

My friend just upgraded from an 8800GTS 320MB and he ran Fallout 3 on high with 2x AA and 4x AF at 1680*1050 and he said he got a fair bit of lag.

Heh, my wife never kicked off my download until after 6:00pm so I'll post on the topic as soon as Steam finishes the god damn download.

For my first new release steam purchase, I'm not a happy camper.

tell her a joke;

what did the 5 fingers say to the face?
S-L-A-P!

muhahaha, on a serious note, post your results when you are up and running!
 
I posted my preliminary results earlier in the thread, but can add a bit more.

After dropping AA from 4x to 2x and leaving everything else I was able to achieve a nearly constant 60fps on my main system at 1920x1200, ultra, all else maxed.

My portable laptop in sig can only pull medium settings, no aa/af at 1024x768 and average 40-50fps. If I go any higher it tanks, I think that is mostly limited by the crappy 128mb video ram.
 
Well I completely forgot to test for average frames, but on my system in my sig with everything maxed out @ 1920x1080 4xAA 15xAF everything is silky smooth. The game looks pretty good and overall I am having fun playing the game. If I had to guess the average framerate I would say a solid 60fps.
 
I'm getting a bit of chugging when outdoors, but nothing too serious; playing at 2560x1600 with 2xAA and 15xAF. The interesting part is the game is only using about 50% of each GPU which would explain the Crysis-like performance; I mean the video card barely even gets warm.
