Optimistion seems to be the last thing on their minds other than getting the game to the most people and cashing in. While this is good for buisness its serves no benifit to us gamers. I spend over £2000 on a machine that cant play the latest games 8 months after purchases at the resolution (1600 x 1200) at the settings i want & besides this the worst thing with GRAW is it looks terrible to boot. PC gaming has always been expensive, but these days especially the comercial side of gaming its at its worse in this sector. Indie gaming FTW.

Anyway as for the outburst of rage,
I know its a matter of perception, but please in future people post your frame rates instead of what you percive as "smooth" and "jerky". This way we can make up our own minds and save us the hassle of buying something we wont enjoy.

Edit: Hondaf17, can you please tell me if the game seems more optimised than the demo in terms of performence? Also if you can would you be able to tell me your avarage frame rates?

No worries.

Yes, the game does seem more optimized than the demo. I would surmise that it's a new build or whatnot, but I cannot confirm that. Again, I'd say it seems more optimized to me (larger maps, more tangos, got to call in airstrikes and blow stuff up - still smooth) but I don't have FPS comparisions or any data to confirm that.

I can direct you to this http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/index....w&id=58&Itemid=29&limit=1&limitstart=2">Link</a>. It's a technical analysis of the demo and lists FPS for current rigs/video cards.

I saw you talking about resolution - I run mine at 1024 x 768 - I ran it higher and didn't notice a difference in performance or graphics, so I run it at 1024 x 768 b/c it's what I'm used to.

I'm willing to post my FPS if someone can give me a quick tutuorial on how the hell to record them.

PS - THE GAME IS FLIPPING TOUGH!!!!!

Sure, if you use ATI Tray tools instead of the catalyst control centre there is a option > Right click on the Tray tools icon> Tools & Options> OnScreen Display... Make sure the OnScreen display is enabled and choose what corner of the screen you would like it to be.

If you dont use Tray tools download and install fraps (www.fraps.com). Ive not used it myself but from the screens it looks simple enough, just keep it running in the background while you play with the fps counter enabled.

If you can do this it would be appriciated. Also do you use a CRT monitor? or a LCD? Maybe i should have stuck with CRT becuase it looks like i will be doing alot of resolution switching.

Ok, I'll try to do this later tonight. I kept the demo installed and I'll try to run similar scenarios to try and prove if the retail version is more optimized. Yes, I use a CRT monitor.
