I asked him to show a screenshot with his extra RAM only - he refused and intalled the new drivers, then took screenshots. That says it all to me.

Ok, I'm not gonna argue with you anymore , check my SS again. I'm using 6GB without anything heavy running. I do have lots of apps running in background since my puter can handle it easily. Anyway, I'm not here to argue with you. Just live in your dreamworld that 4GB is all you'd ever need! I'm ending this right here, right now!

When is the last time you saw a betadriver alone increase performance 10 fold? Bye

Bye Compared to the driver from the 1 year old 560 Ti disc? It's probably quite a lot. When did you ever see 1 GB extra memory increase gaming performance 30 fold? That's what the OP is claiming here. What a joke! 2 fps to 60 fps just by adding 1 GB more RAM? Please.

I'm ending this right here, right now! Ok seriously now. You are using 6 GB because...you have the RAM and can afford to keep stuff open. Do you think that if you didn't have 6 GB you'd still do that, or would you close some stuff first? Sheesh. Ps I checked your screenshot - you are using 20% of 16GB RAM. That's 3.2 GB...with (in your words) "lots of apps running in the background" http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/5010/hardfaults.jpg Yeah? I mean how much proof is needed? 3278 used out of 16384 installed?

OP, Great to see your perf is up! I don't actually care if it's drivers, ram or both. Just that it means some people are finding solutions.

I have an i7 920 with 15Gb RAM and a nVidia 470 and I get over 70 fps with all video options set to max. Your system is far better than mine... maybe the problem is sludge between the keyboard and the chair.

I'm not so sure really. My brother has a "gamer" laptop (supposedly they exist! ) and he runs the game perfectly fine. And the specs aren't even that good either. Some GeForce 400 series videocard and a Quad Core with 2.20 GHz. I've ordered a GTX 560 today. I think the problem with my PC is the GTX 260. Even if this game has some problems, I doubt the GTX 260 would be able to carry this game. I also have low FPS in fairly new games like Saints Row The Third.

your processor is ancient. You need a new one.

Start checking for viruses.
Without me, it's just aweso. i7 950 @ 4.0ghz, ASUS X58 Saber mobo, 12gb RAM@1866mhz, 6970 LIGHTNING, 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD, BWU Keyboard, Razer Mamba, PC350s, XFX XXX 750w PSU. This game desperately needs some sandbox elements. Repetitive grinding is not fun.
