Not really. Your system is below the requirements for Ultra Mode.

There are things you can do to improve performance in the game however.

Update your graphics drivers.
Lower the Physics Quality to Medium or Low.
Lower you Maximum Particles to around 10000.
Lower your Shader Detail.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

le sigh...



Thanks guys.
