Firstly I would like to say the game looks pretty awesome even on low settings - but it really shouldn't be running like that on my computer.

I have a GeForce 7300SE, a 2.8 Dual-Core Processor, 180gigs of space, I can run every game I play at the same time with 0 frame rate drops. As in I can have World of Warcraft running, Counter Strike: Source running (with 60FPS), Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Doom 3, Fable: The Lost Chapters, and Either Starcraft or Diablo II. All without a frame rate drop, at 1280x1024.

I find this a problem because I have to run Silverfall on low, with not frequent... but still pretty often frame rate drops. 1280x1024 resolution.

I want High graphics but I'm still fine with low.

Other people should tell how they comps run with the graphix!

Great idea for a post

. I do not have a uber system, but it is high end. I am currently playing the demo at 1920x1200, all options at high settings with frame rates averaging at 60 fps. System spec below in my signature.

Oh, is it normal for my system to run SF like this? It just feels un-natural.

No it's not normal, except if you have only 500 MB RAM which I doubt (you didn't mention the RAM

). Try to make sure you disable reflections and refractions after selecting average or high graphics settings, but those things hurt really the perfs (they are mainly meant to be used with a PhysX card

)
