I played for a short after getting back from work in a public quest and RvR area and the performance was horrible. I am not prepared to lower the graphics settings as the game does not look that great anyway and I can see that I will struggle to run the higher resolution client client when the full game launches.
I know the rest of my PC is getting on a bit apart from my graphics card, but it still manages to run far better looking MMO's at much higher framerates. I stupidly pre-ordered this from D2D so I am stuck with a game I will not play.
Your performance is that bad? Looking at your specs I'm surprised. There are people in our guild with specs far far lower than yours who are running it completely smoothly.
Mine is running like a dream but then again I do have high specs, but hell we have one guy in our guild who has 1 gig of ram and an athlon 3000 and its running grand for him.
