Bad framerates on ATI cards?

Yes, should be much like mine

On 1280x960 with 2x AA and 4x AF I get 20FPS on normal, 12 on high, 8 on very high and 5 on too high.

Yea, not very impressive either - again about the same low rates as mine.

Btw., I forgot to mention: I run the game in Windowed mode (circa 1400x1200 window) on a 1600x1200 32bpp Windows resolution. I've tried full screen mode though: It's a little better but only by margins really (like maybe 10%).

Granted framerates means very little in a game like this, but a rig with those specs ought to give me smooth graphics in highest quality

What about you nVidia people? It seems like any old 486 with a GeForce I card will leave even a Radeon 9800PRO in the dust when it comes to Dom2?
