F.E.A.R. is ridiculous (first benchmarks show not even 55fps at 1024x768 w/ 7800gtx/FX-55)

Looks like this game is gonna sell a lot in the bargain bins at $15 when people get systems in the future fast enough to enjoy it

Far Cry had the same pitfall.

Wow, guys. Maybe they're giving the game a little head-room. Think of that? Try NOT playing at max settings for once. There a few features turned on at max that put a huge hit on performance.

I just did auto config settings... Looked good on my x800xl and ran just fine too.

That's just it, the game runs very well on any modern-ish system. It's when people monkey beyond the autosetup that they run into trouble.
