I am wondering if fps in the character creator is representative of the game itself. I am running win7 64bit with an E8400 @ 3.82Ghz, 4GB RAM, and (2) GTX 260s in SLI; and I am only getting 15-17 fps in the character creator with settings maxed and 8x AA. Considering that I get 40 fps in Crysis on Enthusiast settings with no AA, this seems a little odd to me.

I opened my settings to turn off SLI and see if that had an effect and for some reason SLI was turned off already. I must have turned it off at some point and forgot about it. I turned it on and my fps is pegged at 60 which, of course, means vsync is enabled (which I prefer). But it's now odd that it was only getting 15 frames with a single 260, but I imagine that something was gumming up the works, as other are reporting better frames. No worries now. Thanks!
It still doesn't make sense for you to be getting 15 fps with one video card. My 8800 caps at 60 on the character creator. Do other games perform similarly when you disable SLI?
In general, the character creator can't be used as a full benchmark for the game. It can only be used to judge performance if you think your video card may be fillrate bound (that's the case for example if turning off framebuffer effects significantly increases framerate), but the final game will have large areas with lots of geometry that are taxing to the video card in different ways.
