If you have vsync on, do you have triple buffering enabled? For some reason it can really boost your FPS even though Skuzzy said AH2 enables it by default. It appears that in some system configurations it has to be enabled manually from the control panel.
If you should have this particular problem, your FPS will dip real low whenever your system can't fully peg the native refresh speed.
vsync and triple buffering didnt help any,fps still less than 18.the bright spot in picture2 follows me no matter where i go,unless i go to ground level then it disappears and the water and all looks normal(waves and reflections) but the fps stay low fullscreen,in half screen fps is at 32 to 35.
what im wondering is,is the low fps in the gtester mean that when the update comes out im, i can expect the same or worse fps in the game?especially when theres alot of players in one area,or like in TT where theres alot of objects also,if so then the game would be unplayable for me

as of now in game i get a solid 59-60 unless around a bunch of smoke(like being around a refinery strat thats been hit recently) then it drops into the low 50s,
or in the tower for some reason i get fps in the upper 30s to low 40s.
