    A friend of mine has the Asus G74sx. Following the installation of SWOR, the computer has been displaying significantly slower performance and response time, particularly when typing in various other programs or through the internet.

    Usual suspects:

    try updating nvidia drivers to latest (incl. betas) and update DirectX to latest. Also run Windows Update as the game may have installed some runtimes which may need updating.

    Yikes, that's screwy. What the heck did EA install? :-O

    I just kinda sorta wrecked my G74, but was probably going to play that at some point...now, can I go back to a lesser GPU? Hmm... :D
