Try lowering the saints row settings and see if it plays better

If you haven't already, download and install the latest game patches.

Im playing it on a gtx460 on high settings 50+ fps. Is your firewall preventing access? Try turning vsync on (this is not from lag though).

i have an i7 2600k, 1.72 tbs of memory left and 4 gigs of ram

"1.72 tbs of memory left"...
this is hard drive space

"4 gigs of ram"
this is system memory, understand now?

 

[Nexuspro]

yes i know

People like to call hard drive space memory, but we can say this for SSD drives and really be correct now
