    just wondering if anyone else plays this?? got it off steam for a good price.. Ive been playing it on my "R2" and its really fun...

    also. If you play this did you do anything to your graphics Nvidia options to make it run better? it already runs pretty good but maybe there is something i can do to make it better.. dont know much about computers so any help would be great!!

    this is the game:
    DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue on Steam

    thanx

    just add steam to your whitelist. Then under its setting only change the quality to performance and single display mode.

    Thanks BranMuffin:
    just wondering. you said to change the quality and to single display list.. i added steam to the whitelist. now im looking at the features underneath.. do I change these two features?? there are lots of features and just want to make sure these are the ones you are talking about....

    - Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration
    - texture filtering - quality

    thanks!

    I haven't seen any tests that really prove that setting nvidia options to "single display" makes a difference... however if anyone has some, feel free to post it.

    Deathspank is a diablo/Torchlight type game but from the author of the Monkey Island series, so it is full of humour and interesting characters

    Exactly these two... I have found stability with changing these two in multiple games. Perfect world, League of Legends, Starcraft 2, Even java (minecraft), and AoE3 Asian Dynasties.
