TRUE PARALLAX THEORY !!!!!!!

I also decided to give it a try tonight. The menu lagged, but I continued to load up a game I had in the wine cellar. To my amazement, once it had finished loading it was butter smooth and the improvement was HUGE, there were a few big hiccups in random places but other than that, FRAPS showed a constant 60FPS. I finished the area and left the cellar and boom, as soon as I left massive lag and the game crashed to a white screen shortly after.

Ahh well, was very nice to see how it could look.

Anyway, my system specs:

i7 920 @ 4ghz
Corsair 12GB DDR3 1600mhz
Asus 5970
Windows 7 64bit
1920x1080 monitor

Everything maxed out except SSAO samples, also at 32.

Maybe useful, even during the lag spikes, none of my hardware was particularly taxed, CPU hovering around 10%, RAM 15%, GPU barely busy at 20%. I'm wondering if the video memory isn't getting full?
