The result was other than TEMP difference, my 1 full gen older GPU had same performance as newer GPU.
Ditto. During Phase 4. I was running stock. The restoration of my OC profile showed nil. My buddy is running max on an i3 and a 6850 GPU... He averages about 30-40fps but this is expected. I can safely rule out the HD as well... should anyone want to challenge me on that point lol. Initially had the game installed on a regular cavier blue 7200RPM drive just like all my other games. Decided after restoring my PC back to windows 7 last night to put it on my RevoDrive. No difference.

I think my only hope, along with others in this boat are drivers. Now... the only thing I cannot explain are those running the same drivers as me (latest certified) that are getting expected results... [I can only hope they are lying or the minor differences in setup are accountable...]
