    Hello. Anyone familiar with this game? I was wondering if my 7970m should be able to play it on Extremely High settings. It seems when I set it to Extremely High, my FPS drops dramatically. This is mostly seen in quest hub areas with lots of NPCs around. It drops to the mid-teens or twenties in those locations.

    What is weird is that someone in the global chat says they have a Nvidia 560 and they play on Extremely High with no FPS drops. Also, I have to run the game basically on Performance based settings, i.e. the FPS is subpar in Extremely High, Very High, or even High settings, so I have to play on High Performance setting with a few sliders turned up higher than default.

    Is my 7970m under-performing here or is the game just that tough to run on high settings?
