    Yeah so, I get like 25-30 fps when I am wandering around the world and sometimes dips into the low teens in cities and towns. You all can see my specs in my sig and many of you probably have similar configs...how is it running for other folks?

    I have all the latest drivers and I did download the hotfix that JoWood released. Sometimes, when I have tried, it actually runs a little better with crossfire disabled. Any thoughts?

    BTW I also have CCC configured with all sliders to the left except Catalyst AI and Mip mapping and have "triple buffering" checked off...if that sounds like it is as it should be...

    What resolutions, what settings etc.?

    If I remember correctly, in Risen (which uses the same eng., I believe), FPS would hitch up a bit for me in large cities (when there is a lot of AI routines running), even on my desktop with a 4.0ghz i7 and dual GTX 480s. These sections require higher CPU cycles. Have you tried OC-ing your 720qm?
