Okay guys so I have a high end games PC with these specs - 
 
Intel i7 920 
GTX260  
6gb DDR3 @ 1600mhz  
 
and Just Cause 2 seems that the frame rate is really choppy even though I have a high-end machine. 
 
I am running that game on High - Very High. 
 
What is the problem?

Also, I doubt this is only me but is anybody else's characters speech movement not matching the dialogue sometimes? 

Turn off the GPU water setting. It kills the frame rate even without water on screen. Turning down textures to medium helps a lot too. With those turned down you should be getting 60+
 
Edit: It should fix the cutscenes too.

I ran a benchmark test and it caps at 59.9 frames. "

Turn off V-sync. "

You need to turn off the Bokeh filter.  That's the real drainer in cutscenes.  Yes, I've noticed that in cutscenes people's voices don't synch with their lip movements too.

NOT SO HIGH END AFTER ALL!

Weird, I ran a bench mark test and with V-sync it caps at 30 now and with V-sync on a still only get around 40 - 50 fps.  Strange seeing as I get about a 120 fps average on RE5 on highest settings. "

Don't expect 120fps. I have your specs and get around 40(in heavy combat) - 90(Just walking around). Just jump into the game and try a few settings. Turn some things off/down and see what the frame rate is like. "

Done, here is the settings I am running the game on -  Texture - High Shadow - High Anti-Aliasing - 4x Anisotropic filtering - 16x  Water - Very High  Object - Very High Decals - On Soft Particles - On V-sync - Off High res shadows - On SSAO - Off Point light specular - Off Bokeh filter - Off GPU water stimulation - On  What should I change? With those setting I am getting around 40 fps. "

Well the Water Simulation eats around 20% of your framerate and it's not recommended unless you have dual GPUs.  I'd also also turn off AA if running a decently high res.  The game's blur filter hides most of the hard edges anyway while you're in motion. "

Only got 41.22 fps on ''The Dark Tower'' 
 
This sucks.

With the GPU water turned off? That's odd. Try it with Objects on medium detail. If it's still really low then I'm not really sure. Are the graphics drivers fully updated? That might explain it.

Just updated the drivers and ran at around 50 fps on The Dark Tower, I will run another one with the Objects on medium. "

I have the same exact specs except my card is a Radeon HD 4850, I was under the impression this game was meant for Nvidia, but i havent had any issues in the demo at max, no matter how much stuff I try and blow up. Maybe the full version is different.

Bump, it is really annoying since it lags even when I am walking around.

Umm I can run this at only 20 fps on lowest setting so please don't complain

FPS is ok, but the aim is horrible, like a constant mouse-lag... going from L4D2 to this, it feels very unresponsive.

I would say this is another case of poor pc optimization. Hopefully they will get a patch out soon because you shouldn't be having this much of a problem.

GTA 4 is the closets new game to be compared to, but GTA 4 is one of the worst port to PC to excist, 1) doesn't support MULTIP GPU, 2) demands too much CPU power, if a clocked i7 can't do the job...
 
my benchmark result for just cause 2:
Rig:  i7 920 @ 2.65
         6 GB RAM @ 1600mHz
         His Ati Radeon 4870x2 2GB vgram (it says 4, but I am pretty sure it is 2..)
