Hello, I have downloaded PS 2 a while ago but I never got around to playing it, and tonight I figured I would give it a go. So, I was messing around with the settings, and since I only play at 1600 x 900, I just went straight to Ultra settings. I played a bit and noticed drops down to around 40 FPS. I tried other settings (High and Medium) and yet it still dropped when I got into battles. Any tips? Its still playable but I thought my rig could handle Ultra at 60 FPS constant :D

SPECS

i7 3770 @3.4GHz
Sapphire 7970 Dual-X
Kingston DDR3 2x4GB
Corsair CX750M
WD 2TB
Windows 7 x64

Fairly new build too :)

I've played it twice, for a week or so right after release, and then for another week two or three months ago. Both times it was very CPU intensive, IIRC I couldn't even maintain a minimum of 60 fps with my 2500k overclocked to 4.4 GHz. So I'd recommend checking your CPU utilization and trying an overclock if that seems to be part of the problem.
