Hello

I'm new in this game. Decided to try it because I've read in some forums graphics are stunning and it's something where I can test my new PC.

Well, I have some performance issues over there.

My rig is AM2 X2 5200+ @ 3hz / 2x 1gb RAM 800 @ 900 mhz / DFI LP mainboard with Nvidia 570 Ultra chip / 250 gigs HDD / 8800 GTX OC gpu / Audiy 2 ZS sound.

So, I've moved to the town, where my FPS dropped suddenly to 20. I thought, huh? Everythin was set to high. 1680x1050 res. Changing resolution to lower = no fps increase... all other effects ~ +5 FPS increase. I wonder why only rendering distance and water effect is way too heavy for my PC (if set to max.) When turned off i get ~ 60 FPS in town. And hmm, the weirdest thing is that even when i turn on that water effect, FPS keep low even if I am not near the water.

Hope it's not CPU related problem. Most of the newest games require rather High END GPU than High End CPU

Any suggestions? Using 169.09 drivers.

Thanks
