    Hey guys, i just bougth Frontlines: Fuel Of War, i only played it an hour or something but it looks like it's a nice game :)

    BUT, I think the game doesn't like my 8600M GT GDDR3 :p
    Yesterday i played some single player and the game ran smooth, even on high settings...
    Today, i play it online and the game stutters like hell and i got low fps (30).
    I've put everything on low, also the resolution on 800x600 and the game is more playable now but i still get some stuttering. (Also tried with OC)

    Shouldn't my Asus G1S be able run this game better than that?

    Here are the Requirements for the game:

    Minimum System Requirements

    * CPU: Intel Pentium 2.8HT or AMD Athlon 2800+
    * RAM: 768MB/1GB for Vista
    * Video: nVidia 6800GT (SM3) or ATI X800XT (SM2) w/ Latest applicable video drivers
    * HDD Space: 8GB
    * Internet: Broadband connection w/ min upload 768K (for hosting games, not playing)
    * Sound: AC ’97 or equivalent DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
    * OS: Windows XP (32/64) or Windows Vista (32/64)
    * Addtl: The latest version of DirectX 9.0

    Recommended System Requirements

    * CPU: Intel Core2 E6400 (2.13GHz) or AMD X2 5000+
    * RAM: 1.5GB
    * Video: nVidia 8600GTX or ATI X2600 w/ Latest applicable video drivers
    * HDD Space: 8GB
    * Internet: Broadband connection w/ min upload 768K (for hosting games, not playing)
    * Sound: Creative Labs X-Fi sound card
    * OS: Windows XP (32/64) or Windows Vista (32/64)
    * Addtl: The latest version of DirectX 9.0

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    I personally think my G1S must be able to run it on medium, isn't that right?

    Thanks :)

    I think there could be something wrong with the games because even on my laptop (sig) I could only play on 1440 x 900 res and low settings and have good framerates.

    That game didn't run very smooth on my 8600GT as well when I was beta testing the multiplayer. I tested it out with various drivers too.
