    I'm getting low, stuttery framerates on Medium. Anyone know if this is simply unsupported driver-wise so far, or also having bad framerates? I'm getting around 15 during insertion and 30 during gameplay.

    I'm getting a stable 50fps with everything to the max on 1920x1200.
    I'm using 11.2 drivers with caps4.

    Wich drivers do you use?

    I'm using the beta 11.4, when I get a chance I'll do a complete clean install of 11.2 and try the 11.4 CAPs, see how it works. Could just be that it's my processor, although BC2 has the same recommended proc speed, and I get okay framerates in that game. I'll post back this afternoon, tell you if it works.

    Bit off topic: What a disappointment this game turned out to be...total turd. I think Kaos's previous frontlines: fuel of war was a much better implementation for MP play.

    OP: I get solid fps with xfire 5870m, no drops in the 20s.
