So I got the game and was a little excited about it and it's a total let down.......

The story and the game by itself are fine and I could easilly see getting addicted to it ( although the controls/tutorials are not the best/easiest to learn I have seen).

But the framerate is terrible on my machine and it really hurts the experience to the point of making it not fun to play......( 1264 by 800 choppy as hell, and even 960 by 600 still isn't that great...).

ok I only have an NVIDIA 8500GT with 256M but still I was expecting better...( I got this PC 8 months ago it's not like it's a 3 year old computer).

On top of that I had to start my gaming experience on EA support forum as the game won't run on Vista if you don't disable 1 security feature....

 

 

 

 

Well I think that's your problem there. That videocard is very weak. Hell I have the 8600GT (256mb) which is much stronger than yours, but I know it's weak too. I just picked it up as a cheap card last year because I needed something for my new build and didn't want to spend too much on the video card (especially when I knew that I could pick up a much better one sometime this year for probably not too much money )

"While the 8600 GT is an unexpected powerhouse more than capable of handling some of today's most demanding games at even the highest resolutions, the 8500 GT is simply underpowered with its much slower DDR2 RAM and diminished GPU core clock speeds. It would make an ideal card for gaming on resolutions below 1600x1200 with no antialiasing, however anything higher is simply going to need a more powerful card."

...and that's from a review from the middle of last year, just think how your card is with newer games! 

I know but this is a port of a 360 game, not a Crysis clone so I was expecting for it to run fine on lower resolutions....
