Hello everyone this is my first time on any game forum and this is my first post so excuse any major errors I might make. I was running the retail version 1.5 and performance was bad. After the 1.57 patch I am a lot more happy with the performance so much that I actually played instead of tweaking! What I was wondering is after the 1.57patch what tweaks like maxmem and cpu count are not needed or where fixed. I'll list my PC specs below please do not laugh.
AMD 5000+x2 2.6GHZ
PNY 9800gt 1gig EE
4gigs Ram
Vista32bit
With everything normal, AAveryhigh, AFveryhigh, ShadowsVH, no post, and 100%RES at 1600x900 20inch LCD and view distance at 2506 IAm getting 26fps Avg with the OA bench when it was 19 before patch.
