Unplayable Lag at the first boss(energy temple)

[viespace]

I have a not bad PC with Conroe+2G ddr2 800+8800GT@driver 169.12, running with Vista 32 Ultimate, the game runs perfectly all the time at 75FPS, but when I come to engage the boss in energy temple, it begins to lag heavily that I can't play. I tried to alter the settings but it didnt help.
Any ideas?

I experienced the same thing. I had to disable Framebuffer effects, mipmap, vsync AND put the game in 1024*768 to stop the lag.
Now it's perfectly playable, but I don't have all the effects... ah well...

Try to update your drivers, too: the latest are 169.21

It's the drivers. I got this at certain spots throughout the game, but they were all gone and I can run it at full res with all affects with the new drivers.
