Wow, that's incredible. I guess I am wrong with my VSync analogy as well. VSync will cap the fps at your monitor's refresh rate - not necessarily 30. I am playing on a 60Hz lcd tv (and a cheap one too) so it's no wonder mine is capped at 30. I guess my Direct2Drive copy of the game might not necessarily have the latest patch that's available either. But to the person who originally posted this thread - try overclocking your video cards (just be aware that you void your warranty in doing so). I can play my Crysis games maxed out but only get 30 fps (I just checked and it's about 40 fps) but it is possible for me to get 60 fps if I turn some settings down.

========== Edited after being patched from 1.4.9.32 to 1.4.9.70 =============

If I have every setting maxed I get about 40 fps with my super overclocked Crossfire setup.
If I select the timeslice shadow update I get 60 fps solid (I don't notice any difference visually).
My fps gain by overclocking my Crossfire setup is about 15 fps. My fps gain by overclocking my CPU is 0. I am glad that I took part in this thread. I was posting some misinformation and playing my game at less than it could potentially be visually (not to mention all the bug fixes). 15 fps gain by overclocking my video cards is very subtantial. I am going to check for updates for all of my Direct2Drive and GameTap games.

Back in the days of Commodore 64 I used to dream about games like Divinity 2.
