What a Dilemma

[scissorss]

Couldn't help but notice the clouds rendered in your low fps shot. Have you tried disabling them? They seem to be pretty demanding for my rig at least.

Not sure what I can add to help but my CPU is similar to your except I've overclocked my CPU, but you however have a much better graphics card.

Over all I'm getting reasonable results with my PC. The only big difference is that your using Vista. I managed to get a cheep Windows 7 upgrade deal through my work and have never looked back. Windows Vista is an abomination! Irt's slow and horrible.

Hope you get your issues sorted out
