    Weird black squares/artifacts when in the water (at the start of the demo)

    At the start of the demo, when you are submerged, just after you see the pear necklace and start to rise to the surface, I get these weid black squares on the screen, that dissapear when you get to the surface.

    Anybody else getting this problem, or is it just me?

    My specs are;

    Intel E6700
    2x Geforce 8800 GTX
    Xfi Fatal1ty Sound Card
    2 GB RAM
    Win XP SP2

    Using the new beta NVIDIA drivers and I am also using RivaTuner to increase the fan speed of the graphics cards

    Stop forcing the AA. Stop increasing your fan speed. You're in no need to overclock your settings they are already beyond what is recommended. Try downloading direct x from microsoft.com/directx

    Okay, I have figured this out... It is a weird graphical glitch caused by turning off vsync!

    Solution: Turn on vsync!

    The worst my framerate ever got was in the mid-30s near the end with the bots and the thugs everywhere.... where as without vsync it would have been alot higher. It is a small price to pay however, desyncing is quite ugly on a 24" monitor

    Super hyped now... Will I go to uni on Friday after I get my copy?

    Probably not
