Metro: Last Light Message Board  

I got an HD6970 2gb and I've used all the tweaks floating around. DX9 mode, low quality,... The fps counter (fraps and internal) shows between 45 and 65 but there is a terrible microlag that is giving me a headache. Any ati users with similar problems?

i have an amd and ati setup if you can tell me more i will let you know if i get it

I've tried a few different settings. I can put everything on high, turn off aa and it gives me a steady 40-45 fps, which is fine. But the microstuttering keeps returning every few seconds. Very annoying.

Microstuttering is usually a case of slow hard disk access if the game streams map data constantly.

Or there is a slow down on GDDR5 > CPU due to software conflicts or hardware Speeds.

A game like M:LL will need at least 2.8ghz per core or higher on high graphic settings.

Ideally your card shouldn't be set to high settings anyway, its in the realm of low to mid settings.

Here's tweak guide, I also post it on a separate thread. Hope this helps.

This game is kind of mean towards ATI GPU, having a 7970 Ghz in my case might still have trouble though, the microstuttering is quite often, xfire users will find this extremely annoying.

The game has an issue with ATI cards, patch should be around for you soonish.

Al be able to check mine out on it soon.

after patch -> great fps gain & still microlagging. The problem seems to be the SSAA.
0.5x - 75fps lagging
1x - 60 fps lagging
2x - 30 fps reduced lagging -> acceptable playing.
4x - 10 fps (obviously)
WTF
