    I was just wondering what FPS are you guys getting, and posting your resolution and graphics options would be great.

    1280x800 resolution, max settings, don't remember AA or AF settings, about 30-40FPS, sometimes higher, and lower during graphically intensive settings such as large fire fights or explosions. overclocking helps a bit also.

    I bought the game today for Multiplayer and found 1680x1050 maxed out to be unplayable with more than 4 ~ 6 people. 1680x1050 all settings off/dynamic lighting on low yeilds very playable FPS. 1440x900 stretched just looks terrible.

    Run @ 1280x800. That's the 8600m's sweet spot due to its limited bandwidth.

    1280x800 with everything on highest, I think with some (not sure how much) AA and AF, average 20-30.

    EDIT: that's for the demo, I don't know how much different it is from the actual game.

    BTW what does AF actually do? And is this correct -the higher the amount of AF, the lower the FPS?

    AF increases the graphic detail in distant images.

    I have a 570m 128mb and get anywhere from 40-70fps in multiplayer at 1024x786, high settings. I'd say the average is in the 50s on most maps.

    I can run it at max settings without the useless soften edges on smoke and get 30 - 112 FPS.

    Either way it's always smooth so I'm happy.

    1280x800 everything maxed, no AA, stays above 30 nearly the entire game, and hits the framerate cap most of the time (for some reason the cap on all of my games is 50 FPS even though the screen is set to 60hz refresh).
