OK i just got a new computer with a 200 gig hard drive, 512 RAM, and an integrated 128 bit graphics card, and the graphics are BEUTAFULL! the P.O.A. looks almost bump mapped, and the metal is so shiney i dont need a flashlight, the only problem is it laggs like hell, even on easy difficulty, and this is a new computer, what the hell is wrong?!?

What processer? If you have a bad processer it will lag. Tone down the graphics, and see if it still lags. If it does, it's some other problem, but if it doesn't, then you just have it set too high.

I have a very good Graphics card too, but if I put it on the VERY highest graphics, the FPS lags a bit, so I wouldn't use the full settings.

i think its the fact that its an integrated grafics card so it takes power away from my RAM reducing it from 512 to 384

nah, it shouldnt use alotta ram, (mines doesnt) but if you dont want it to lag, set it down a bit, and if it still lags, set it down alot. and if it still lags, set down the pixels to 800x600 or something along those lines. it works 4 me

mine used to lag so much on the first lvl. but to me it still looks like a bump map, cuz all i did was set it to 800x600 res.

i have all my settings on high and the res on 800x600 works perfect... try that

Try playing in a window. When I play in 640 x 480 fullscreen, I get like 2 fps. When I play in 800 x 600 windowed, I get 30 frames per second. Try that. Also try getting a new video card since all integrated ones suck.
