Ok well here are my specs.

3.6GHz Intel Xeon (2 Cores)
2GB Ram
2x 6800 Ultras (SLI)

And well i can only run with good FPS on 1024x768 with no AA and i have to run 800x600 on single player and i still get a little video lag????

Also when i boot up the game the main menu runs fine but after i load any map and return to the main menu i get like 15FPS insted of 40 when i started?

Anyone else get this problem or know how to fix it?

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Wait for Nvidia to release drivers for vista that allow SLi to work properly. I have dual 6800 GTs and have the same problem.

I guess it's just to poor optimization of the game, other than, idk you should be getting way more fps than that. I guess you could trying closing background programs and what not. Good luck.

Make sure you also have the absolute latest sound card drivers. I had an onboard RealTek sound card and even though I had the latest drivers from my motherboard manufacturer, I still had bad framerates in many games until I went to RealTek's site and manually installed their newest, HD Audio drivers.

I get like 20 - 30 fps constant and it drops to 10 fps quote often on a BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC. 800 x 600 on low, NO AA.

Sounds like a driver issue with another component, possibly related to the SLI issue mentioned? Try running it not in SLI mode.

OMFG I have that card and I was planning on buying this. What are your other specs, and what are all your ingame video settings? I was really hoping to AT LEAST play this at 1280x720 with no AA and Medium settings. I have a BFG 6600GT OC, a P4 HT 3ghz, and 1gb of RAM. This had better be a driver issue that can be fixed because I DO NOT want to have to pick up a 7900GT and another gig of RAM just to play this.

AMD Athlon 2500+ Mobile (OC'ed to around a 3200+)
ASUS A7V8X-X
1 GB of Corsair TWINX (2 x 512)
BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC 128 MB GDDR3
2 x 80 GB IDE hard-drives (7200 rpm)

I have another computer that is probably 2 to 3 times better but it is too heavy to carry around (the Antec P180 case is a beast).

The P180 is quite the beast, but probably still the one I'll get the next time I build a new computer. I also have another much better computer, the problem is that I only have XP on it.
