Newbie all over! Oh no....

Ill test it now :), will report back soon.

played for 20mins, constant 30fps... didnt go higher or lower =/.. is the demo locked at 30fps?

Maybe, while actually playing I didn't get more than 30fps, but when it was loading between areas it would shoot up to all sorts of big numbers.

By "constant" do you mean that it stayed at 30 the whole time and never went lower? If so, thats amazing... maybe I should overclock after all...
 
Sorry it took me a while to post back, I am usually away on weekends.

That's really weird about the constant 30fps thing. Sounds like a bad vsync or something. Might want to look into that.

Mine ran with everything up, at 800x600 I was getting ~60fps in rooms without people. When people were around it was ~30fps, then with action it dropped to ~15 for normal action, ~10 for tougher action.

at 1152x864 I was getting ~30-40 in rooms without people, ~20's with. and action scenes were actually about the same.

Is this slower, normal, or as should be?

Also, thanks a lot for everything so far :D

Well, given that your system is about on par with mine I reckon you could run at 1280x1024 and see what fps you get. I got pretty much what you describe above at that res, so if you get the same again then I reckon it's running as it should (or both of us are having the same problem).

If you OC I would be curious to know what frames you get then, might convince me to give it a go too.

Sounds good, I'll try it tonight. Also, I'll see about doing some over-clocking tonight. Think I'll post up a thread in the Intel board about it in a few and get a little feedback first. Just to be safe.
 
It's all good, glad to have it at all... :D

Seems like we are getting about the same results. I think I am gonna try to over clock a bit and see what happens. I was getting around 20 avg fps with 15 durring normal action load. over and under of course depending on what's going on.
