Metro 2033

FordGT90Concept · Apr 2, 2010

Librarians take as much as Chimira in Call of Pripyat. Pseudogiants take more firepower than anything in Metro 2033.

Metro 2033 is a about a 15 hour game I'd say. Just depends how often you get stuck on where to go, difficulty, and how quickly you move throughout the maps.

Can anyone tell me average frame rate difference with DOF on and OFF?

Want to give this game a go but no point even getting it if I'm not getting at-least 25 fps XD

you better turn that advanced dof on!!!! lol...why even have a dx11 card if your not gonna sexy it up

Because it makes machines cry for forgiveness...

Just found out this game requires Steam activation. I got a boxed copy for the express intent of reselling after I beat it, but nope! Tied to my steam account. I swear, companies are really making it hard to resell these days.

Can you re-assign the keyboard key presses??

FordGT90Concept · Apr 2, 2010

Yeah, I got everything assigned to the number pad.

This game does rock - the Russian language version is phenomenal, the voice acting, story, how they talk... Definitely will replay in english to see if its the same. If Call of Pripyat is any better I will definitely pick it up.

Funny thing is, I was actually born in Ovrutch, which is like 50 miles away from Chernobyl lol. Stalker gives me nostalgia.

I found the RUS language to be much better than the ENG - but, not surprising considering where 4A is based. The ENG version is good, though, it's just that (I found) the RUS voice acting is superior.

Same holds true for the STALKER series as well, the RUS versions are better in this regard.

Hey guys Im getting issues with this game. Its not performance issues but weird problems like this, Im pretty close to the end of the game I think and so Im up to the part where your fighting hordes of dark ones o wateva u call them, its the part where you first start the game and it says prologue and you have to protect that tractor looking vehicle, then it gets raped by a flying demon, you start running fighting off those annoying little hairy fukers, its only me and that dude with that shitty electric zappy gun, then we pass a school bus or wateva but he just stays there and doesnt move at all, thats the problem Im having, he just stays there and doesnt move and the game doesnt trigger him to move so I move on forward and kep on getting killed because this game is fukin not coded properly, fuk you nvidia & 4A games, this shit is crysis all over again.

erocker · May 18, 2010

Corrupt save file. You'll have to start from an earlier point. Yeah, you tell 4A games lol. :laugh:

My GF bought me Metro 2033 (and Fallout 3 GoTY Edition) for my 25th last Friday. I haven't started Metro yet is it worth holding out until I get a capable DX11 card?

Hmmm depends bro, do you want to play it full detail, is that a must for you,if so your gonna need some horsepower, my 2 HD5870's just manage to play it full detail, no AA though, that shit is broken badly in this game, you can get a HD5850 and above and still play it at decent fps but I had to lower the settings when I had one HD5870, playing in DX10 offers a big performance boost, DX11 iz very demanding in this title.

I hope this helps :toast:

Youl' basically get 2 additional rendering options.. dof and tesellation.

The dx11 advanced DoF is a joke.. almost the same Dof effect from its dx10 render path, except it will eat up at least 10 fps., and the tesselation is no Heaven Benchmark (you need to get up close, about 1 foot away from a character to notice it.. just makes things rounder and no stuff sticking out or anything) but eats another 10 fps.

Imo, holding out on a dx11 card just for this is not worth the wait. From the looks of it, Metro is no pure dx11 title.. just 'parts' of it much like the Lost Planet demo and its adaptation of dx10.

Just play it and enjoy

I do like to play games (no pun intended with this) the way they are meant to be played. For example, I held out on playing FEAR until I had rig powerful enough to enable Soft Shadows and the alike. I've got Fallout 3 and all the expansions to play through before I start Metro 2033 but I doubt I can hold out until the 6k series.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland said:

I most probably will tbh. My next purchase is more essential than a new GFX card (which is new sound card) so I'll most likely just end up playing and then having to reply it again when I've got a better rig and patches have been released.

Well if I was in your position, I would buy a HD5850 and overclock the crap outta of it, and if you manage to give it a good overclock, it could match 2 HD4870's :toast:

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to buy a new GFX card, unless I'm lucky enough to bag a 'cheap' 5850. I've seen a few on eBay going for just a little over the retail price of a 5770 but I don't think I'll bother, even though DX11 is already making more waves than DX10 ever did I think I'll hold out.

I definitely do not want two graphics cards, not a Crossfire/SLi fan tbh.

... You can allways play it again next year with more candy

Ok bro, I just done a quick test for you.

This was in the library level which is quiet demanding :eek:

and thought it would be a good ideal test for FPS.

Settings were at MAX except AA and Physics, physics is obviously for Nvidia cards, it lags too much with that on and I dont notice any different so I leave it off, and AA in this game is broken, so I definitely leave it off, but apart from everything else, its on full detail including AF 16x playing at 1920x1080. Dont forget I am running Dual HD5870's in crossfire :rockout:

.

With DOF on - I average around from 19fps - 49fps depending on the area, mainly the extreme lighting area's it bogs down the system.

With DOF off - It added a good performance boost for me and felt much more playable, I averaged around 31fps - 64fps which is much better.

I hope this helps bro and if you want me to just run 1 HD5870 in the game, I will do that too :toast:
