Wait till more enemies appear on the screen. Like in Redcliffe.

Even my quad core PC with a HD4870 lagged then... but that was with 8xAA I think.

Oh...at 1st i put 8XAA...can play and quite smooth..but the GPU temperature becomes quite hot...after that switch back to 2XAA....

Bear in mind the resolution you game at also makes a difference on the GPU load.

yeah right...i put 1280 x 720...everything high/highest except anti-alias...GPU peaked at 90degC after 4-5 hrs of gameplay without cooler..
