Text Book Disappointment - Potential's obvious, but so is the fact NWN2 is still a rough 3-D optimizing Beta at best...

Ok, if you're playing NWN2 and don't understand where I am coming from, please press your keyboard "tilda key ~" while in game, and then type, "showfps" and -enter-. Hit "~" again and start playing with the FPS now displayed in the upper left-hand corner...Now do you see where I'm coming from?! If not, then somebody please help me out here. AMD X2 2.0 ghz, 2gb ram, raid-0, SLI 7800gt (not one dandy little thing running in the background), and I can't get a stable FPS above 20! I have no problem with BF2 (Max settings) and Oblivion (Medium Settings). I'm almost speechless. These are the legendary Black Isle guys, Quality over Quantity! Using the D&D logo no less. I had this game running at 800X600 (yes, it's above 30 fps then), but still couldn't run the shadows. Ok, to switch gears... For those of you who do not own this game, please take notice. The problems with NWN2 are fix-able, like any Beta is fix-able (more like Alpha with respect to 3-D optimization). BUT, as this game stands, its false advertising for the next month or two at best. BG2 is my favorite D&D game bar-none, I kind of liked NWN1, but after this opening charade of return to glory, I'm about ready to give up on quality PC D&D gaming. Alright, I'm out before I get any more upset. I hope this insight is a helpful warning to save you time, money, and frustration.
