Metro 2033

[Marineborn]

DX10 put a bit more of a hit on my system, compared to DX9 - still maintaining above 45-50FPS on average. I had to lower AA from MSAAx4 to keep running at 1920x1200 and keep everything smooth (had very slight stuttering) . . . boo hoo

The additional effects, though, of DX10 are nice - the volumetric smoke, for example, is quite heavy in this game. Pretty cool to fire your weapon, and watch the weapon smoke disperse from firing.

I'll again state that I don't think this title is anywhere near as un-optimized as many thought it would be.




dont try to tell me to be stealthy i go in guns blazing. lol and fall down...i did kill 4 in 1 greande which made me grin from ear to ear lol
I can give you a couple of pointers, if need be

Game is heavy graphical wise, but yes, IMHO Crysis HAS FALLEN as the best looking game...

i like bad company 2's graphics and physics over crysis any day.

Possible spoiler:

there's a passage that will lead behind the back portion of the camp, and let you come out behind them

Do you guys think it will run max settings on my system at 1920x1080p?

I have read allot of places no..... but if you turn it down to 1680x1050 I have read yes. So give that a try.
Your screen shouldn't look to stretched at that resolution.

wow the cat 10.3 game me a nice little boost in performace by a average of 10fps...that isnt bad at all..and i got past that camp. now im with the old dude walking the tunnels.

 

[douglatins]

My FPS are all over the place, i get from 20-150 with 1920 Max DX11 without Advanced DOF, sometimes, with heavy lighting i get the 20ish, but normal under tunnels and stuff around 70ish, in battles with multiple dudes, 30-40ish, and 100+ in corners, skies, floors

 

[AsRock]

I have just had a 2hr play through and so far Im really enjoying it, I do get slow downs and weird jittering sometimes which is annoying but what can you do and I have not seen graphic detail like this before, it looks amazing(eat shit crysis)

Heavy lighting area's ?. That is were it got mine 2-3 times after playing it for a hour. Although i'm playing DX10 not DX11 which might be putting a lot more strain on your card than you think.

Arrg why will it not let me change each setting lol. I just want V high and just turn the lighting down a touch not every thing GRRRR

See if there is a config file to mess around with in note pad, usually is.

I second that

 

[AsRock]

I second that

And i love this games graphics and Stalkers over all games.. Not often you get that damp cold warn rusty dirty looks and feeling.

Crysis graphics are like if they have there cloths washed by mommy.

LMFAO I agree with you there, all though crysis does have good graphic detail, Im just so over the damn game as well as crysis warhead, the only reason I would play it through again would be graphic mods

The most detailed game I have seen is Metro 2033, and Im luvin it

PS. another thing, for metro 2033 optimum system requirements, it says 8GB, so I thought I would do a test and so I put everything full detail including AF 16X and MSAA 4X (lags like hell lol) then I will check the taskbar manager and its only using 230MB so I went into a firefight to see if that would increase it at all and it did but only up to around 310MB, so somethings not right there or it must be that Im minimizing the game every time oh well.

use this to measure ram usage.

Remember that video ram usage doesnt get monitored, and (in DX9 at least) is duplicated into system ram.

with that beast of a card you should be able to run everything no prob, im running 2 5850's overclocked, and getting 50-55fps constant with everythimg turned on in dx11 aa all the way up,try updating to the 10.3's that dont sound right

You have to have something turned down to be getting those FPS. What resolution are you using?

Right on. Honestly I should try hooking my rig up to my TV. Things are a bit rough at 1920x1200, but works when I OC the balls off my cards. Really though, I would love to see ATi bring more performance with this game.

 

[Irish_PXzyan]

Lads When I have MSAA 4x I get 20FPS?? I get constant 30FPS with it set as AAA.

Also..is there any way to turn SSAO off?
I don't need this and causes FPS to drop too much for me.

Has anyone got any idea how to change the settings?? instead of using medium, high or very high???

 

[jasper1605]

seems like I should be checking out this game soon. I love me some eye candy games! what's the difference between all the different kinds of AA's? I've tried looking it up but it's all beyond my comprehension lol

 

[alexsubri]

Will be picking this one up tomorrow, will give out screen shots/videos as I play it

Yea I found it but I do not understand it.
I don't know where to find SSAO at all
Help me if you can please!!!!!!!

Man this game is fantastic!!!
it has been some time since I really enjoyed a PC game!
I loved Stalker and this game has it written all over it!!! I LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lionheart]

Im gonna update to the 10.3a drivers and see if I get any performance improvements, and I'll you's know how it goes

That bullet lighter reminds me of the one my grand father had given to him guarding the Japs in BC during WWII,He finally got the front lines Landed in France had the CO give him his new orders ,which were THE WAR IS OVER V DAY.....Poor guy wasted his sniper skills on guarding Japs in BC and Boxing.He was the guy who beat the Army,Navy,Airforce guys from The US.Gold glove winner too.
