9600 GT is a bit below Ultra Mode. Ultra Mode is 9800 GTX / GTS 250.
So no, your system really isn't capable of handling Ultra Mode, which is probably why it's lagging.
wow... I can't F'ing believe that... I don't lag on /anything/ else graphically.

CoH isn't like anything else. We've been saying for the past several months in the Which card for Ultra Mode thread that the starting point was Geforce 9800 GTX / GTS 250 for Nvidia cards. Sure, any OpenGL 3.0 card can run the Ultra Mode features. You'll probably be able to run Ultra Quality Water, performance Ambient Occlusion, and Medium reflections... but anything beyond that, like shadow maps, the 9600 just isn't fast enough.

hmm I've found that I only lag on max settings (after some tweaking) in the D and missions, guess I should just turn it off in either of those

I understand, I'm maxed right now, and fine after I changed a few settings, when I go into missions I'll probably just lower the settings, it was just so strange to actually see lag, and initially i had it bad, I think it was just pocket D though, and even then it's only minor, so the little I see I'll get over it... (no reason to run ultra mode in the D anyways, everything looks the same)

Okay I am lagging on this computer when I have NEVER lagged before, when i17 came out... maybe it's just a settings thing however. I've seen things fixed for ATI cards on the forums but none for Nvidia. Let's see...
AMD Phenom 9500 QuadCore
4 Gigs of RAM
9600 GeForce GT (Nvidia)
i think that's all the relevant information...
I think my computer should be able to handle ultra mode, but when I turn it on it lags like my duocore lappy used to do when I tried to play on high settings. When I turn OFF ultramode I still get a little lag and Graphics in general have definitely dropped from before... everything actually looks worse/less smooth. What I am doing wrong here?
Note: I used to play with the graphics settings for quality written in the Nvidia thread in this forum, I never changed those
