Hey, anyone have any idea why I'm getting such terrible performance with this game?  I have a 3700+ @ 2.7 GHz, 2 GB RAM and dual 7800 GT's.  I'm generally using the recommended specs.  Right now the game doesn't even look particularly good, but the performance is abysmal.  The performance test yielded an average of 20 fps.  Does the full game run the same way or is this just a problem with the demo?

Manually go over all settings, keep v-sync turned off, don't go over 4x AA. (Doom 3 enabled 32! (:S) times AA for me)

Did you accidentally get the beta demo that was released?

I have a 3.2 Ghz Pentium IV, 1 GB RAM and a single 7800 GT... I can play the full game maxed out with little to no lag... You should play it just fine.

Would it be called anything different in the installation? I think I just downloaded this off Gamespot.. it's called "Company of Heroes Single Player Demo" in my start menu. Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I don't know what's going on...

Try updating drivers sometimes drivers can be the problem.

AFAIK the game has a severe performacne problem with SLI enabled video cards. It was fixed AFAIK in a patch for the full version, but not sure about the demo...

Thanks, I'll take a look into that. Forgot I had my virus scanner on, so that was causing an unusual large performance hit, but it's still not running great.

I am running the full version of CoH on my 3800+ / 6800GT and it runs very well on medium/high in 1280x1024.  So you should be able to run it just as well as me with those settings.  Must be the demo version or you have some other settings wrong on your setup.
