Just had a new custom rig built. It has dual Radeon 6970 2GB running in crossfire and AMD's FX-8150 CPU 8 core processer. I've got 8G of ram.
This game is running horribly with this set up. I don't know what's wrong but unless I'm missing something I should be able to run this game maxed out with no issues.
However, when I click off all the bells and wistles (v-sync, triple buffering, etc) and turn the resolution down to minimal, it is still the laggiest thing I've ever witnessed.
Even the OPTION MENUS LAG.
So bottom line, no part of this game runs as it was meant to and I have no clue why. If anyone on here can offer an explanation it would be much appreciated. I loved Deus Ex and was a fan of invisible war as well and was really looking forward to playing this. It's one of the reasons I threw up the money to buy the rig I described. Annnnd now it looks like I might as well have bought an E-machine…

First - update your video card drivers. And Direct X. This can help. Also, upgrade all the drivers on critical systems. Then, if this doesn't help, lower all the settings - and try to raise them one by one; maybe you'll find something that makes your PC lag.
You could try to Ctrl+Alt+Del after launching the game and monitor how much CPU and RAM the dehr.exe process "eats". Maybe it's not game's problem, maybe you just got something running in the background and hanging your system, or possibly some kind of virus.
