8Gb RAM
2x GTX 260c216 in SLI clocked at 712/1512/1188 (core,shader,ram)
Creative x-fi xtremegamer with 5.1 surround sound.
Acer 23.6" monitor running @2048x1152


I have seen people with better configurations posting lower frames at lower resolution than I run. I wonder what is going on with them. One note is I do not run high AA (or usually AA at all) because at this higher resolution the gain is sometimes nominal (almost unnoticeable).

Firstly, how is your Acer 23.6 monitor running @2048x1152...this surely is not its native res more like a 30" monitor! and changing res on a TFT screws the picture!
Secondly, AA has a massive effect on FPS, i have no doubt i would be getting 60+FPS in harbour id i took the AA down from max.

Infact, i might knock it down a notch as the game is using all my 1280mb of video memory, and the switch back and forth to system memory is, i think causing that stutering effect sometimes when viewing from external camera!!

In all fairness, after treating myself to a 24" IPS monitor and GTX570 just for this game and Totalwar, im a bit gutted that in both games i run out of video memory if above 4xAA....i cant work the AA control out in SH5, there is five stages???? whats the fifth stage for? 10xAA ??
