What graphics cards are y'all using?

Just bought this game the other day on Steam and love it! However, I had to disable pretty much all of the advanced graphics effects to get a playable frame rate of about 40 fps. Which isn't terrible, but I'd like to be able to turn on at least a few of the effects and still get a playable frame ...

Re: Overload is $10 on Steam (winter sale)

Re: Headphone 'de-amplifier'

I have a reasonably nice pair of in ear sound insulating ear buds for traveling or other loud environments. They mute out over 30 decibels from the outside, but no matter what I do on any device I try to use them on even at the lowest volume level available they are still too loud. Are there any ...

A. Most subwoofers go up to 120 Hz. Above that is usually where the satellites pick up, and most "tweeters" start around 14-16 kHz.

B. The center speaker is for dialog, so whatever frequency range the human voice (male and female alike) falls into. :P

Top, Begins is not a prequel to the Burton flicks. The director wanted to completely start over and ignore the previous movies.
