I am still not sure why I keep seeing that this was not designed to run well on an AMD.. My 3800+ runs it fine with a 7600gt video card... and A friend plays on a 4600+ AMD with dual 7950gt's at max settings including 10k view distance with no lag at all.. Mine is a store bought copy that my Aunt sent me from Germany and his is a German download copy. Seems like most of the people having issues are running systems that should run it fine, I can't believe all of these issues are hardware related.. There have got to be some windows based issues. I have run this on 3 different systems.. 1: Intel 3 gig Hyper threaded w/1gig of dual channel memory and an ATI Radeon 9800xt 256mb sata 1.5gps- Running normal settings with a view distance of 2000m 2: AMD64 3800+ w/1gig of dual Channel memory and a Gigabyte 7600GT passive cooled sata 3gps - Running Very High with the view distance at about 3500m 3: AMD 4600+ w/2gigs of 800mhz ddr2 and 2 XFX 7950gt cards sata 3gps- MAX EVERYTHING My second 7600gt card comes in next week and I will let you know what that does for me.

How many people having lag issues are running the demo? I ran this on an intel 3gig with an older 9800xt video card on low settings and still got over 1500 on the view distance before I noticed any lag...

I did not realize that it streamed data from the hard drive. I may be getting some performance boost there as I am running a sata 3/gps drive with 16mb of cache spinning at 10k rpms

What speed is your processor clocked at? 2.4ghz? Also do you have an FPS reading? It doesnt seem like a very high spec system to run on very high.. if it does run smoothly then it could be useful for those considering an upgrade =) Proc is running at 2.4 I am also running a SATA300 drive but I have not checked my FPS because I have yet to see any issues unless I turn up the view distance over 3500.. Not sure if it matters but I am running a Sythe cooler so my proc never goes over about 31 celcius... I have not played with any video setting other than very high and widescreen mode as well as changing the distance. My copy is a store bought German DVD running 1.02 on XP proffessional and the OS is a fresh install. I will check my fps tonight when I get home. I know a friend is running this with dual 7950gt cards and he is running very high and has the view distance maxed out.

I am running an AMD64 3800, 1 gig of dual channel ddr 400 and a 256mb 7600gt and I can run on very high with the view distnace set at 3500.. No lag at all.. If I turn up the distance I begin to see lag... but I just ordered a second card to run SLI so that should take care of that...

it seems like my throttle is kicking in around 80% and even then I can't tell if I am getting 100% out of it. Has anyone had any luck calibrating the X52 for this game?
