I just recently installed CoX again, only to find that with the settings (especially texture) anywhere above medium, the framerate drops like a rock tied to a much larger rock. It seems to me I shouldn't have to lower the settings such on this game, given that mine is basically the mythical rig which could run Crysis on high.
Specs are: i7 920, Nvidia GTX 260, and 4 gigs of DDR3 (two of which are usable since I'm on windows 7 32 bit).
