So I finally got my new rig together: watercooled I7 at 4.2GHz and 4870x2, 12GB RAM. Previously I had a similar system with 2x 8800GTs in SLI. My old nVidia setup ate the game for breakfast, as it should since the game is just a console port from the Xbox 360. Even a single 8800GT could run this game at a constant 60fps without issues. I was hoping to see over 100fps constantly with my setup but the game struggles to run at even 50fps! Apparently this isn't an unknown issue on ATi cards. Does anyone else have this game and have similar performance issues? I've also confirmed that Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga has even worse performance than Lego Batman, but strangely Lego Indiana Jones runs perfectly fine. Pretty much every other game, including Crysis, simply flies. This is extrememly annoying. If I turn off the advanced effects in these games, thus making them look like an upscaled Playstation 2 version version of the game, the speed is fine.
I've gotta say that ATi still has it's share of driver issues. My last ATi card was an X800 XL and I've gone through three generations of NV cards since then and have not had any issues at all with the Forcewares. With the Catalysts, vsync doesn't seem to work properly on half my games, even when forced to "On" in the CCC, yet the Forceware drivers have no issue with this. In the AMD forums, their moderator blames Windows 7 for this...
I'm running the 10.3 WHQL drivers (no previous ATi drivers installed). Also Ive got an nVidia 9600GT card with Physx Mod 1.2 and Forceware 196.12 installed mainly for Batman - AA.
