<points to his system specs and his score...

Looks as though your experiences are a bit off. That would mean technology hasnt been invented that can handle this game without framerate loss. I'm only a few off from having the fastest processer. And i'll soon have the best 3-d card. But neither of those offer that much more power.

I'm sure i'll be able to play at 1280x1024 with all the graphics turned up without any performance loss.

Unless ofcoarse this turns out to be like Asherons Call 2. Then were dealing with developers that havent learned how to code games properly yet. So even the fastest machines experience performance loss.

But this is Square were talking about. Naw it'l be fine i'm sure.
