I have a 7950 - my fps drops to <30 a lot on very-high settings, and occasionally on High settings. Is that consistent with other people experience?

Depends on your resolution. If your running a monitor like mine( 2560*1600 30" HP ZR30w), then I could see your 7950 dropping to around the 30 fps mark at times. I run a 7970 myself and last I checked, I average around 40-50 fps at very high settings.

You can end up with those frames if your cpu/motherboard are holding you back. What do you have?

My setup is:

• AMD Phenom II X6 1100T (3.3GHz, 3.7GHz boost)
  
• 8GB DDR3 1600 (800MHz)
  
• C300 SSD, SATA III (6GB/s) chipset
  
• Sapphire HD 7950 @ PCIe 2.0
  
• 1920x1200 Monitor

I seem to drop <30fps on medium and high settings about the same amount. Very high settings are consistently <30fps.




Are these specs too low for this game on high/very high?

EDIT: Thanks for the advice!!!

Yes, they are. The big issue with the game right now is that it's still running on DirectX 9. A common term on this forum right now is "CPU-intensive". I have a system with roughly the same speed as yours running an even more powerful 7970, and it's giving me quite a bit of choppiness as well. It appears that only overclocked high-end systems built with this year's top components stand a chance at getting stable frame rates right now at those settings.
