    Mine's the 860. Plan on getting twice the ram and a 3 gig processor for it someday.

    You dont need a supercomputer to run on max settings :)

    I *only* have 2GB Ram, an 8800GTX, and an old dual core X2-Athlon, and I've been on max sliders since it released, plus using FSAA, no problems here.

    Hmm. I have an 8800GTS, 6gb ram, and also an X2 Athlon. I can't do max settings. I can do one step down from max in space, but ground absolutely kills it at those settings, so I have to go in and do some custom settings. I definitely think it's my CPU because my 8800GTS never goes above 50% usage.

    That's weird. My Desktop destroys your laptop, and I can only run it on Recommended, not Maximum, and have to run it on Low at Sol.

    Hmm... no idea what's going on there but that's how it runs. Sounds weird.

    Well, I'm getting Windows 7, so I'm hoping it'll run better.

    Wait, what resolution are you running it at? I have it at 1920x1080, and very few laptops do, so that might have something to do with it.

    I think that's it. The laptop only goes to 1366x768, so I think that's what makes the difference here.

    Oh, and it's running Win7 x64

    I'm running

    AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.10 GHz

    4 GB RAM

    NVidia GeForce 9500 GT with 512 MB SysRAM

    at 1600x1200 res


    I can max all the sliders no problem but once I turn on AA, even as low as x2 and/or Screenspace Ambient Occlusion, my framerate just goes to S@!T.

    I just don't get it. Champions Online is the exact same way, too.

    My drivers are up to date.

    That'll do it. I can play the game in 720 on my desktop and it runs buttery smooth. However, my desktop is using my 73" HDTV as a monitor, so playing in 720 just wouldn't cut it.:D

    Why not? It's not THAT big of difference. :p

    It is on my TV. My TV processes incoming signals from a PC differently than other input sources. When it's in 1080, it fills the screen, but if I drop the resolution down lower, it doesn't fill the screen. Dropping it to 720 actually makes the picture only about a third the total area of my screen, localized in the center. If I format the picture with the TV to fill the screen, it's actually too big, and the edges get cut off.

    Yes, besides AA which is at x4 and dynamic lighting (which causes crashes on ATI cards).

    I get a consistent 40 fps in most maps, 30 at worst on some ground missions, 55-60 fps on some space maps. :)

    You have AA maxed too at x8?

    Strange.. my Sapphire HD 4830 is at least as powerful as an 8800.
