GTX 260 not enough with i5-2400 it seems.

This is just general performance info so others may gauge what their hardware may do. I will be buying a new video card.

Current Rig:
i5-2400 (3.1GHz)
GTX 260 core 216 896MB
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
1680x1050 native resolution

With everything at medium, except shadows and flora at low, I get horrible FPS while fighting most of the time. FPS is ok if I am off by myself. I can get 50+ FPS. Fighting is typically 10-25 FPS.

I wanted to make sure it was an inadequate graphics card issue. Monitoring GPU and CPU while playing show my GPU always at 95%. My CPUs (4 of them) ranged from 20%-70% most of the time. At that point I assumed it was graphics card.

Just to make sure I went to my brother's house who has a similar rig.
Brother's Rig:
i5-2400 (3.1GHz)
GTX 560TI 2GB
8GB RAM
256GB SSD
1920x1080 native resolution

He was high on everything at 1920x1080 and was smooth everywhere it seemed. He didn't have any huge battles, but still stayed between 45-60+ FPS. His GPU was at 99% and I didn't even bother looking at CPU usage as it was so pretty when it is smooth.
