I am trying to play Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason, a game from 2009. My PC is fairly fast I believe and yet the physics effects in this game (I have everything turned to max) slow it down to an unplayable level. I'm not one to buy into hype about buying the newest or latest of anything. My Smart phone is 3 years old and I'm quite happy with it for now. I've managed to run all my other games so far on my rig at maxed out setting without any problems however with this game (and slightly with Mirrors Edge) the game slows down. I've done some reading and it turns out it's the physics effect that's causing this. I'd like to know which if any of these components is the main offender here that's slowing down my game?
