Sigh, maybe I should start doing performance analysis reports for "realistic" and "common sense" configurations something that truly warrants being looked at. WTF does setting the game to Ultra settings prove? FFS I don't even recall seeing 'Ultra' settings!?! I am running 1024x768 with High settings and the game looks and plays perfectly fine. As a matter of fact I even got view distance doubled to approx 3/4 and I upped other things too because it was easy to see while playing that my video card could easily handle it. I don't know offhand how to see fps(cuz I really haven't cared), but I'm pretty damn sure I'm hovering around 40+fps... be surprised if it were any lower. My eyes can tell. Confused

I think these stats guys should get their heads our of their ass and start doing common sense performance benchmarks rather than trying to give reason to people to blow money nVidia and ATI's way...
