green_sky said: You are probably right. My video card is not even DX11 compatible. So, in Metro: LL i only had like 4 options to tweak. I was either setting it too low and getting 80-90 fps or too high and getting hit into mid teens whenever i walked into new area. Mid way through the game i left it at high settings at 900p resolution and it looked damn good. The fps were very solid too. I just don't know what happened there. Currently running gtx 9800+ along with i3-530. I think even if i upgrade to 660 or 760 sometime next year. My processor is going to bottleneck the gpu i think. It does the job for now. Maybe i'll pick up 650 ti boost or something for cheap and try to overclock the processor. |
Metro can be a bit odd, probably the biggest performance impact other than the main quality setting is probably the Advanced PhysX setting which is tucked away under Game Options for some reason. Keep in mind that Nvidia will probably launch new GPUs in the first half of next year. Tho there are some conflicting rumours as to exactly when. Which as they will be a new architecture should be a pretty decent leap over current cards.
