MAFIA 2 HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sadseada123]

OKI am thinking of purchasing mafia 2 for my pc.my rig is
Intel core i7 870
6GB DDR3 1600MHZ RAM
MSI NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 260 CORE 216 LIGHTNING EDITION 1792MB SINGLE CARD SUPERCLOCKED
650W PSU

Will i get 29 fps in the game with physx high and anti aliasing on?

well...
it depends on your resoultion and other settings, ect.
but i doubt it.
w/o a dedicated graphics card for physx, i doubt you'll be able to have it set on high.
The rest of the game, sure you should maintain 30-ish fps

No.
You did not mention resolution, but for example 1680x you won't.
AA does not seem to make a big difference visually (read that in a review and agree) in this game, but it definitely takes fps away.
Me thinks on medium physX , and you do the trick with the cloth physX properties. Thats what I did, I just removed the cloth to test and it works nicely.

Resolution is the big question here: But to let you know..

My GTX 470 with 1920x1080 all settings maxed (High PhysX), with a Dedicated GTX 260 Core 216 for PhysX got me a "D" rating in the Mafia 2 Demo Benchmark utility. Obviously I'd get a better rating if I reduced settings some. But my point is to give you an idea.

At 1680 x 1050 with a single GTX 260, I would not recommend high settings plus PhysX. I'd suggest you turn PhysX off completely.
