Bad performance but well above requirements.

    I just got the Witcher yesterday and i've been playing it on a system I just built yesterday. I ran the SR Test on the machine and it's well above the requirements. It stutters alot, the game crashed after I used the first sign on the debris. When I first went into the game the settings were maxed out, I assume the game scanned the system and set these itself. But it performs terribly.

    I'm running

    WinXP Media Centre edition
    Intel Quad Core Q6600
    2GB of RAM
    GeForce 8500GT

    The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the power supply isn't strong enough, it's 480W. There's 3 casing fans, an 80GB and 400GB, Optical drive and the parts stated above running on it. Anyone thoughts?

    Thanks in advance

    Well the 8500 isnt that great of a card, in fact it is the 2nd slowest in the "8" series lineup.
