i btw have a 30" widescreen monitor.. so i'm trying to run Sh4 on 2500x1600 ... that could be the culpit??..

I have an almost identical rig to you and my game runs fine all maxed with volu fog turned off, however I only have a 19" monitor running at 1280 res - so I would say yes its your resolution thats bringing your frame rates down.

A good tip I had was to turn everything off in your nvidia control panel and in your game options then tweak them up 1 at timeuntil you find the frame rate killer, it was volumetric fog for me, takes awhile to do but is worth it, hope this helps

Help... I'm a v-sync junkie.

Only thing is now my frame jumps between 60fps and 30fps. Thing is when you get a taste of 60fps then switch to the bridge and drop to 30fps you really feel the blow. And I can't stand ripple effect you get with v-sync off. lol. bummer. I've become a true fps snob.

Change you drivers man. And steer away from that v-sync button, lest you fall foul like I did.
