    Hey guys,
    I would like to know how the game run with your g1s and with which settings, which driver do you use for your 8600mgt and do you use DX9 or 10? What kind of FPS do you get?
    (can somebody also tell me how to run the game in DX9 instead of DX10 too)

    Thanks

    From my experience through the demo, the game ran fairly well with everything set to medium/high except Shaders and Shadows(which were set to low). I used 169.04 drivers. In order to run the game in DX9 or DX10, right click on the game icon in Games Explorer and choose the needed option.
