Chaos Theory performance

I'm not sure if this game is supposed to be this slow, but I'm running around 14 FPS on average. This is with all the settings on high, 1600x1200, 0x0x. Without AA or AF on, I'm not sure why it's going so slow, but I'm wondering if everyone is getting this sort of performance?
 
Yeah, at 1024x768 I was getting around 30 FPS. That just seems really poor considering my system isn't that old yet, especially considering the firingsquad article that put the 6800GT at 25.6FPS at 1600x1200, 4x8x (and mine's a bit faster than that, or should be). So, is there something wrong with this picture or am I expecting too much or what?
 
And, yes, I have the latest nVidia drivers, the latest everything drivers, the latest BIOS, and I have updated the game.
 
Yeah, I tried messing around with the options, but it didn't do much. Disabling SM 3.0 gains me about 3FPS.
 
Alright, I used the in-game time demo. I got just under 19.5FPS. That's a good deal lower than the FS results on 1600x1200 8xAF (what I was running), about 11-12FPS lower with the Ultra and 8FPS or so lower than the GT. I'll do it again with 1.1 right now.

SM1.1 = 21.2 at 1600x1200, with 4x8x, still better than SM3.0.
 
I'm running at 1280x1024 4xAA/8xAF with SM3 all effects on (except HDR) and getting great smooth and fast performance on my 6800GT. Haven't measured exactly, but it must be around 40 fps which is good enough for me.
