9800GT or 9800GTX+? 9800 not all that descriptive.
A CoHHelper report would help to clarify the video card, driver and game settings.

Grab the latest (link in your post) CoHHelper, it includes the UM options.
The devs did say the UM will run on a 9800GT at their minimum settings, which I can't tell until you post with the latest CoHHelper. Also UM effects also use the World Detail settings to determine which objects are included in water reflection and which objects cast shadows. You can't really run at 200% with UM options on.

I'm running a gtx 260 216 core, OC, and still needed to turn down world detail a smidge from 100 to 93ish. All but AO is being used on my settings atm. I'm sure that 9800GT is really struggling with the world details that high.
Have the Nvidia 9800 and I am on Ultra Mode, but if I stand around you see a slight graphics lag when they sway back and forth. I have my other settings on FSAA at 8X and my shadowing on high also my world detail on 200 as well as character detail, if this helps or do I need the hijackthis?
Help..
