Computer Problem.

.

Some newer hardware / drivers have problem with older games' technology.

ie: couldn't play F.E.A.R with my 9800GX2 back then


Look at forums for this particular game, some driver revisions will play these games no problem while latest drivers often optimises this but sacrifices that

try turning off physX (i think that's what it's called) in settings. I have mirrors edge and the same thing would happen, but when i turned physX off it was fine.

Dark Messiah is known for FPS problems in certain places no matter how fast your PC is. The horseback ride into the town as soon as you start game, Gettign onto the galleon due to loads of water and Source engine water can kill performance if ther is lots of it.

FEAR I read some time ago that logitech G5 mouse drivers can cause conflicts in FEAR.

As for Mirrors the only thing i can think of is because it uses unreal engien 3 it gimps some ATI hardware, my 1950pro wouldnt run UT3 any higher than 30FPS on lowest res and settings but my older X850 could easily get 70FPS on lowest settings

In mirrors edge i had the same problem back then but i turned off physx as nervous said and that fixed it , same with batman arkham asylum the physx killed performance
