Ahh but what does fine mean to _you_?

For a game like Skyrim, 30fps was more than enough for me and I didn't
use FSAA or AF, so it played just fine on my GTX 550Ti @ 1600x900 with
graphic options set decently high.
For someone like Rin, anything under 60fps would have been unbearably
sluggish and forced much lower graphic settings to compensate (or more
likely a better video card.)

Is Gothic 3 perhaps more CPU limited and you've got more there than him?
Or perhaps he made a mistake and bought a "Green" Harddrive so all his
HD load times are longer and Gothic3 has more of those than Skyrim?

Much like beauty, fine and sluggish are in the eye of the beholder.
