With these settings I was getting anywhere from 25-40 frames per second. I would be very interested to get a chance to run this on 2 8800GTX cards and try turning all the settings up to full. Even at the settings I run it at though the game looks great with a nice average 30-35 fps, for some reason only dropping below 30 when dead and waiting for a medic/technician. With how low the system requirements go, there's a lot of room to turn down graphics so even players on lower end systems can enjoy this game with a decent frame rate.
