Wow that's a lot higher than what the 360 version got. Maybe I should have waited for the pc version. I still haven't beaten the game because it gets frustrating sometimes.

Isn't PC version out on 15th?
So this comes out right when I swap my Nvidia card for an ATI.
Are ATi's cards slower than the nVidia cards in this game?
Tomorrow.

iirc this game was written to take advantage of Nvidia's "PhysX" acceleration.
should still run on ATi though.
Something tells me it's barely an issue. From what I've seen of the game physx will barely play into it. There isn't a lot of explosive debris scattering around, it's a parkour game.
It'll probably use physx to the same extent that UT2004 might.

glass shattering is the thing all the physX demos seem to stress in Mirror's Edge. and some bullets hitting a tapestry.
Yeah... i guess I could see that. *shrug*
The 360 didn't need it, and that uses outdated sparc cpu's. Something tells me that it won't make a meaningful difference in frames either way.
Question: will it actually work with nVidia cards? Has that been confirmed, or will this be another physX title that nVidia will talk about but put an asterisk on it describing the need for a dedicated card?

I might steal one of my dad's old 8600's and use it for dedicated PhysX. All of the videos and things I've seen look so much better with PhysX. It just seems that with all of the extra possible interaction with the environment, (like kicking a guard through a plastic sheet, and watching the sheet stretch before it tears... and realistic glass shattering, where the individual pieces actually fall and bounce on the ground and stay there...)
It seems a great deal more immersive to me.

Yeah? Well the 360 version got like a 5-7 in the reviews.
And yes. PhysX for NVIDIA in this game is confirmed.
EDIT: WOW... this sure as hell isn't the console version! I played the demos from 360 and PS3 and they were kinda "Meh..."
THIS on the other hand...

do you just like...jump around in this game? 
it's what it seems like in the trailer i watched. can someone enlighten me on what the game's plot is about?

I'm not rainless, but not on my 216.
I'm liking this so far. I'm using it at 4xAA all settings maxed with physX enabled and while I don't have a frame counter enabled, with my core 216 oc'd to 675, I'm getting really good playability. I really like the game so far.
I noticed that too, this game is almost immune to AA. We might need to try supersampling and forcing 4xaa in the drivers. Wanna try that for me? I'm at work.
I can try that, however it will be from the ATi side of things
Bah. I didn't realize that.
All in all though, it's not a very demanding game, not that I can see. It plays just fine on my core 216... this whole having a top level card is new to me. I've had 7600GT's since they were well... 7600GT's, midrange 7 series parts. And they didn't even really perform all that great back in the day either.
