Mulitiple Performance tests across 3 pc setups -

[matsher]

Look chaps,

The GPU is not the be all and end all of your pc... The CPU is very important and so is RAM a factor. The phenom II and the GPU with 896mb Ram put the 3rd set up well above med spec.
for this game. Thats the point. The 260 GTX is a strong card in any language is is comparible to the muc bigger cards available.
The point of this exercise is to see if there was much performance difference between
the lowest quoted "playable" set up and the recommended set up.

It has shown us that the diferences are barly noticilbe. So what that logically points to is
massive optimisation areas that need to be addressed. With this bradn new patch released the other day, already there is a big improvement in the way the effects are handled.
In my first post I noted that bullet splashes in water crushed framerates to 0-1.
Now there is no slow down at all when shooting water or ground.
So a small but clear improvement. as well as a few others.
