Hmm..i don't think that this will solve it since usually in MP the viewdistance is given by server/mission settings.

Some things to try (although no guarantee for cure):
- set Video Memory to "default"
- set AA and AF to off or lowest possible
- after that, raise the 3D resolution by one notch, maybe even 2.
- set Objects detail to normal
- disable postprocess effects
- lower HDR quality to lowest

once there, check your FPS. You may now raise some ov the previously reduced settings one by one, notch by notch and find the best balance between FPS and quality.


Sorry, best advice i can give so far.

TBH there is some thine else going on here.

Every thing in your system is better than mine yet your getting poor FPS.
It can only be a few things

Defrag HD
Failing component/s eg GPU,CPU,PSU?
Buggered windows install or some other peice of software
Over heating GPU or CPU whats the temps BTW of both under full load

what about it ?

Phenom II is bottlenecking your GTX 570, thats why you have low fps.

Download MSI Afterburner and check your GPU usage, if it's not 100% then you are CPU limitted.

easy test though not 100% accurate.

Turn up every thing that reqiures just GPU eg

AA
Texture detail
Res
HDR

Turn down Veiw distance as thats CPU

if the FPS stays the same no matter how high you go or dont change by a lot then you know its your CPU for sure.

Stop spreading BS. Even if the PhenomII does bottlenecking the GTX570, it shouldn't be as low as OP stated, at least double of the FPS he actually has.

Try reducing your Post Process settings.

and also watch your image sizes. We have a 100 KB limit.

You are wrong. Try again.

Watch my video to see how PII bottlenecks GTX 570 in Just Cause 2, in A2 its even worse.
