Yep! That works.

So PhysX is not utilized very good with this game. My PhysX card barely gets used. sneekypeete confirms this with Nvidia cards as well, as well as the links in the OP. I hope they get this fixed. But hey! At least I'm getting a bit over 30 fps with PhysX set to high!

Somebody knows how to tweak the PhysX in this game to get it running right already!

Works great! I set it so that PhysX works on Vito's clothes instead of deleting all of the cloth effects. Doubled my frames from 30 to 60. All of the particle effects are still there. The only difference I notice is a nice gain in FPS.

Wow, I'm confused on understanding how tee shirt Physx can kill fps. Guess it's out of my league.

WTF!!

A £400 gfx card (GTX480) should be able to play this with physx at that res with good framerates. For it to be showing the framerates it is, is a disgrace. Not to the card but to the coders. The GTX 480 should easily handle this game.

Bad bad bad karma to the coders.
The 5970 has an i7 proc

To expand on this, this is where you go and how it should look after you delete the files. PhysX will stay on for Vito's clothes (which you look at all the time) and really give you good FPS.

Indeed. Look at a game like NBA 2K10 where all of the jerseys have similar physics. No problems there.

oh and just as a pro-tip for everyone, with the steam version it may well redownload them at a later date (if a patch comes out or something), so check that folder again if your FPS goes pooey.

Ya im really hoping a patch comes out for this. Though this is only the demo and the actual game comes out on the 24th(in the U.S.) so they have a good chunk of time to really go over problems like this.

from the comments on that link page, tehy're saying the version of physX that comes with the demo breaks hardware accelerated physX and drops it back to single core CPU usage only... which may well explain the FPS problems.

anyone wanna test that?

its because of the way skt 775 deals with lowering the multi, its more of a trick to speedstep than an official feature - so they go by the max multi for the readings, thinking that its just idling at the time they took the reading.

Ooh, looky here, a quote from the link erocker kindly gave...

"And finally. With our tweaks it is possible to play Mafia II with APEX PhysX enabled – purely on CPU.

All fancy particles and impact debris (our CPU was enough for APEX Medium settings), some clothing simulation – running on stable 30+ fps."


Nvidia not required!! Joys

Thank my technophilia for buying an i7.
