If there's that much blood in the game where censored makes it run faster, then wow...

The game ran perfectly for me at 80 fps (Strange that L4D 1 & 2, newer than TF2/Episode 2 but it runs much faster than those two), but I suppose that if it makes the game slower, than Valve SHOULD put an option to turn it off or lower the effects to make the game faster, and of course if there are people who don't like the gore.

I'm hovering around 90 fps, dips into 60s for really short amount of time.

I love the gore, don't need more FPS.

It just makes it so epic slicing through a mob of infected with a machete >

This isnt suprising or shocking news...If you lower/take out some of the effects in a game it will run faster.

This has been true with games for a long time, the only difference is: Most games have settings for it.

Moral of the story: if you want to play L4D2 on a crap machine, buy the game in Germany.

Indeed. And I just can't wait to get my hands on the katana and chainsaw.

200 fps here. I'm pretty happy with the performance, and VERY happy about the gore. I want release date now. But at least I can preload it and watch the pretty preload-bar go uuuuup.

Makes sense... more effects= more Cpu and Gpu power is needed....

Uncut is SO much more fun.
I'd trade a few frames per second for a more entertaining game any day...

hard to believe those results... I was getting 100-200fps in the game with max settings with my 4870x2

Allow me to clarify;
I want it to be release day, now.
I can't wait for a week and so.

If you add -lv (Light Violence) into launch options (Right click on game in steam list, click properties) It'll remove most of the gore, or so I'm told.
