    I just noticed a strange thing.Now i am running both GPU and CPU at stock speeds. And if i select in the nvidia driver to put the physx to the CPU i get a much higher frame rate in the game. Very strange. And i think this possible cuz the game was developed with havok not nvidia physx.

    The setting for PhysX cannot affect Havok.
    I'm interested in case you found something odd though.

    It is strange, but you have changed more than one variable. Clock speeds and PhysX setting. Which change actually made a difference? Or do they both?

    With the release of the new Nvidia drivers, they had an FAQ on the 3D Vision being an issue. I removed 3D from the installation and now I can max out the game on a single GTX 580 card. With Uber enabled I get an average of 30.

    With 3D installed and disabled, running on the recommend High Settings, I was getting close to 15 - 20 frames no matter where I was in the game.

    Yeah the 3D workaround was figured out by someone a week ago or more. So the bugfix in the driver basically didn't help anything for those people who had already uninstalled it or disabled the service.

    I really hope that CDP will release a patch 1.2 maybe until nvidia released new driver, witch promises that will improve performance as well.
