I had an issue with mine the first time I ran it. Then again, I hadn't rebooted that machine in almost 2 weeks! First run after reboot, ran just fine.

Maybe start up another thread posting our results at certain settings?

Did some bencmarks now;

1024 x 768 No aa & af GF 6800 GT @ Ultra 400/1100 with 66.81 WHQL (PC Games Hardware Demo) not sure what the map is called but it's the one with the hang glider.

Max Quality - 50,32
Ultra Quality - 49,21
Ultra Quality & Geometry Ins - 46,21
Ultra Quality & Normal Maps - 54,24
Ultra Quality & HDR 7 - 44,21

1024 x 768 4AA & 8AF

Ultra Quality & Normal Maps - 52,21 (I had a hard time beliving I only lost about 2 fps when enabling 4 aa & 8 af, does this mean that my cpu is holding me back??)

An finally I tried the Hardware OC Volcano map - 78,32

Very nice benchmark program, thanks for the heads up No Style.
