Ok, so i picked this game up at Gamestop for $5. Controls are bad but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Story is interesting but nothing amazing. I'm gonna play it through just cause I'm bored.

I just can't figure out why my fps are not so good. 35fps or so often enough to piss me off. Crossfire on or off has little affect on performance. AA seems to not work and vsync appears to be on no matter what.

There are no patches available for the game either.

I'm using Cat's 10.4.

Is this game really just this poor? Anybody get reasonable performance out of it?

Like I said I really do want to play through it so any help would be appreciated

My system has no problems running anything else with exceptional results

Played that game once trough last year. Didnt run great but passable. Frames were in the 50s at 1080P on a htpc so at your res its possible it wont be smooth. I dont remember crossfire working for me either. Sorry lava

I had no issues with performance when I played it last year all maxed out. I think it has DX10 however, and I was on XP at the time.

Yeah, the controls are unbelievably bad, but I thought it was a fairly interesting game if you could get past that issue. Some of the later sections, once it turns all free roam on ya are less interesting however.

played fine on my 8600gt but the game was total shit as for as controls go. a controller is a must for this game and even then its awkward. I gave up after 10 attempts at that driving section. I only paid 5 bucks for that pos and that was not even long after it came out.
