Help sins unplayable

from Sins Forums

Hey guys, Ive been trying everything to get this game to run past 15 fps mid way through.  No matter what map or how many players/cpus are in game, within about an hour I run the game at roughly 20fps and 9 fps during battles.  Ive uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and the game.  Ive defragged my hdd, Ive tried running the game on one core, Ive tried running the game at the lowest possible settings and nothing.  My specs are Q6600 @3.2, 3gb ram, xp 32 bit, 2 x 300gb hdd,  and sli gtx 260s core 216.  This week Im getting xp 64bit and 8gb of ram to complete my system and hopefully itll fix sins in the process, but please if anyone knows what is going on or has a fix, help me, I really want to play this game.

Thanks

Am I reading it correctly that you have two gtx260s?

Try playing it in maximum resolution (turn off some of the visual effects I guess, though).  In lower resolutions sometimes the cores can't correctly divvy up the work.

Try disabling one card.  I don't understand this at all, but some games have a performance per core improvement of less than zero when scaling up cores.  I know, I don't get it.  I don't think sins is one of them, but i think it's unique to every card/game/core number combination.

Tried it at high, med, and low settings with all details turned off and I was getting the same fps as I was when I maxed it, about 9 in my current battle =( Help

Hmm, at this point I would recommend sending your dxdiag to support@ironcladgames.com, along with a description of the problem and what you've tried as far as Nvidia and game options.
