    It's a good-looking game, but the story and the weapons are what break it for me. I just prefer old-school guns. :D

    Are you running it on high quality mode?

    What resolution?

    Can you slap a video on Youtube?

    Give me about an hour and I'll prolly do that. I have an M170 with a 7800gtx, 2 ghz processor, and 1 gig ram... so I would have very similer results (the 7800gtx is only about 12% faster than the 7900gs). I can run everything on max (res at 1680x1050) and always get above 30fps. I only have the demo though, so the full game would probably be optimized even better.

    I run with everything at max at 1440x900 in the demo and stay pretty consistently above 25FPS. They've done a good job with optimizing the engine.

    I'd just like to inform you that downloading computer games is illegal, thus by doing that you are breaking the law, please report to the nearest police station.

    Yeah Prey seemed pretty good.

    Hell, you dont need a 7900 or 7800 to run it high at all. My X1600 256mb ran everything on high silky smooth and very nice.

    Gave me a turok feel. :) well i quess just the indian stuff
    loved the first gun in snipe mode where the opponents glow..pretty cool
    dont want to spend 50$ though but it does look sweet. Thing is after you beat the game (may not be that long of a game) there is no use for the game

    on my desktop system with a 7900 gt I can enable 4x aa and 16x af, without a performance hitch, you should try that, makes a huge IQ difference
