    Works fantastic with my m11x r3. Some stuttering though, but it appears to be an issue with the game, since lowering settings did not seem to improve it. Very very playable, having a blast with the game!

    Anyone else find any helpful performance tips? It's funny how the game performs better on the default settings rather than the lowest settings possible. For some reason I can't lower the AA though. It's on high and I'd like to put it on low to see if it performs any better. It always kicks me out of the game and says my system can not handle it.

    I keep getting this when I want to lower the settings. All I want to do is lower AA to low instead of high.

    I had that exact same problem on my desktop with it's 4870x2. The strange thing is, I played through the entire opening sequence just fine. This error only showed up in the Lobby of the first area, and wouldn't go away until I turned of AA altogether. I'm also experiencing the same stuttering that everyone else is, and to me it's not a graphics issue but a loading issue instead... It's a *fantastic* game even still!

    Yeah! I just beat my 2nd playthrough a few hours ago. I got the pacifist, foxiest, and legendary achievement. Great game.

    Any cure for the GPU use going down to 50% randomly?? The game will run at 40/60fps then the GPU drops to 50% and im getting low 20's. Its ruining it!!! Got the latest patch.

    Anyone with an R3 notice a big diff in quality between DX10 and DX11? Just installed it, and I'm basically running the game on max settings on my R2 (DX10), and it kinda looks like crap. Soooooo disappointed with the visuals... =(

    Gameplay makes up for it (so far), but still.

    As far as I know,it only adds soft shadows,I don't see how you could be disappoint with the graphics on DX10 since it still looks great,are you sure Anti-Aliasing is on?
