Maaaaaaaaaaaan. At 2560x1600, Medium gfx settings, still a very unpleasant experience at about 30FPS according to FRAPS. I ran it with the Q6600 at 3.0ghz, 8800GTX SLI at stock speeds. It eats ram for lunch too. My Logitech G15 LCD is showing 85-90% ram usage all the time! Madness!

It chewed up my 320mb GTS and spat out the pieces LMAO!

It ran a lot better when I had 4GB. Now that a stick has died I'm back down to 2GB (I really have no luck with these Reapers).

I refuse to run it at medium though. Textures are REAL bad there...

I can just play on High though it does get choppy at times. I guess I'll have to switch somethings down to 'medium'. As long as it doesn't look too horrid. Come on NVIDIA/ATI (well probably the former), hurry up and release something that can actually play this! I'm waiting impatiently!

Have you tried to turn off all running applications?

I dont think it will help any coz my G15 LCD shows the CPU usage at a measly 30%. There's just not enuf gfx horsepower I reckon.

I mean your RAM usage.
BT, Outlook takes up a lot of memory.

I only had Fraps, McAfee Antivirus running. Most likely Fraps was the 1 gobbling up the ram. A friend of mine reported that even r_displayinfo 1 gobbled up 700-900mb more than without.

Hmm...I'm not sure, since I don't have a system capable of playing that game.

BTW, where did you get the game from?

The worst part is there's nothing to upgrade to!
