    Hey guys I am using Ntune instead of Rivatuner now and it seems to be doing better. I am just waiting for better drivers released from Asus or Nvidia to actually be able to push the card to the max. Currently I played CoH at high settings, with the latest patch for DX10, but got a bad frame rate, something like 5-6 fps. I had overclocked it to 600, 500. Right now I am trying it at 650/550 using Ntune to see what happens. I think I might need better drivers.

    DX10 in CoH SUCKS.

    Even a 8800GTX only hit about 30FPS on high 1280x1024 and arround that resolution.

    Try in with DX9

    Ya I know what you mean. DX10 really needs alot of work, but after I OCed to 650/550 and set to pretty much high-medium settings, with antialiasing at 2x, and 1280x800 resolution, I got around 15-20, or more, I am just estimating, it was decent very little choppiness. But I am far from impressed with the graphics. The game is worse than I thought using Dx10. But I will say Ntune is much better for performance and much more stable over Rivatuner.
