80 is no biggie for a video card, so it's not that.

V Sync basically limits your video cards refresh rate so that it doesn't run more fps than your monitor can handle. Be sure to try Neatton's suggestion.

What do you mean by freezing? You mean video lag? Or that it freezes and you have to terminate the program/reboot?

An FPS is usually harder on your video card (though not your whole system) than an MMO game. It's not a good idea to compare the two.

I don't own fear, but I know it supports Open EXR HDR. That option is greyed out, right? It's not trying to run HDR is it?
