Also another problem, on the unpatched version of the game whenever i use protean rank 1(seeing in the dark) the whole screen goes white.
Conttol Panel/Display/Advanced usually will get you to the settings for your particular card. What exactly you can do depends on the card itself, but options may include, but are not limited to:

Hardware anti-aliasing
Anisotropic Filtering
Mipmap Detail level
Shading features
Bloom

You may find others. Generally minimal settings increase performance, and higher settings increase quality (competing perogatives).

In the more general sense, in the game, lower resolution to the lowest allowed, minimise any sound effects you can get away without, set shadows to off, and so forth. Anything that sounds like chrome probably is, and you do have room to fool about here. If you aren't sure about something, try it, start the game, see what happens, and if you don't like what happens, set it back to what it was before. You don't have to play an entire scene, even. Just try running past a streetlight, ideally while it's raining. That will tell you about as much as you need to know. When you've got things workable, you can start over with little or nothing lost.
