I dont know if its just how my computer is set up or what, but I have to let you all know something; you might benefit from it if you have SLI. To make a long story short: When SLI is enabled my FPS and overall performance go down; a lot! When SLI is disabled I get 60-70FPS in-game!
video card(s): 2x7800gt
The only thing I can think of that could cause something like this is the game is not optimized well for SLI. Also the nvidia drivers might not be cutting it.
When SLI was enabled I'd be lucky if I got 50FPS at 1024x768, 4sample, and detail set to low. Now(SLI disabled) I am running at 1280x1024, no AA, and detail set to low.

Another thing I've noticed is that the performance varies between the different maps. For example, I'll get around 60FPS on midship, but on district I get like 30FPS and its very choppy. Could it be more texture detail? Maybe.

Anyway, so far the game is really good I think; just my opinion. YES there are bugs and YES the game has gotten off to a rough start, but this isnt the first game to have a lot of problems and it certainly isnt the last.
Please dont flame if this has been mentioned before. Any other performance-related feedback welcome.

Thanks,

If that is true, I cannot belive how bad the drivers are optimized!

I dont know how to turn SLI off. When I import H2 into my nVidia Control Panel there isnt an option for it. Strange this is that there is an option for almost everything else on the list.

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*

It's not that they arent optimized, they simply just don't work. If they werent optomized your FPS shouldnt go down, just not improve.
