So I have a i7 920 @ 4gs - 6 gigs ddr3, 5870, and corsair 1000w psu to boot and I am only getting 30-40 fps in single player and even less in multi. I know my netwrok isn't laggy, none of my other online games have this issue. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with a machine that should obviously run this game much better?

Go here, read it and fix it.

If that doesn't work, check the temps on your video card (use catalyst). If the temps are higher then 45 when not gaming, raise the fan percentage by 5%.

Found the problem, I was doing a test run with an nvidia card and the physx software had never deleted as was still running. As a matter of fact it took me an hour to get it to delete. I had to boot safe mode and use a deep run driver remover to get the software off. Hmmmm nvidia has really upset me with the way they are handling their products, software, and competition. Well I guess they asked for it - Drake2231 is an ex nvidia fan and is now ATI fanboy.
