I don't understand this FOV issue??

The FoV won't be an issue to everyone.
Some people are more sensitive to it than others.
The FoV in last light is borderline for me personally, the tunnels and claustrophobic areas don't help with the issue either. Get a slight headache after about an 30min's, the FoV needs to upped a tad by around 15 to get it 'just' right.
 
FOV - I come with news from 4A. Wish it had been sooner, these things can get lost in translation -

We're aware the community have been asking for a 'Field of View' slider for Metro: Last Light. Unfortunately, this was not as simple a thing to implement as it might appear!

The main reason for maintaining a fixed FOV is because we have 3D elements like the watch and weapon ammo that need to remain visible.

In addition, all the game's first-person cut scenes and cinematics and each and every animation involving Artyom's hands - idle weapon animations, reloads, ladder climbing, melee attacks etc, - were created assuming the same, fixed field of view.

Changing the FOV would break all the cut-scenes and animations - you would be able to see inside Artyom's arms, or they would appear to float in the air in front of you. Or worse.

We had considered offering three FOV pre-sets, but this would still require significant work to re-do every animation, adjust the HUD and UI and other seemingly small but incredibly time consuming tasks.

Even with a wider but still fixed field of view, Artyom's hands would look too far away. We know - we tried.

Game performance is also tied to FOV - the amount of geometric detail we put in each scene has been partly determined by this set FOV, and setting a wider FOV would have a performance impact.

We understand this issue is important to many people, and we have been looking at possible solutions.

In the immediate term - the next title update, due in the next few days will allow you to directly change the FOV in the .cfg files.

This may well trigger a number of issues listed above - you have been warned!

Just download the free version of FRAPS and start at those settings and up them until you get to the point where your frames drop below 30 on a consistant basis.

ok, can run it all on very high but as soon as saa goes above 0.5 i get 25fps.
if i leave it all high and saa on 0.5x i get 50/60fps.
 
Happy they are adding it to the cfg file like 2033.
There reasoning is perfectly understandable when you look at it in the long run. It will take them a hell of a long time to re-do everything instead of making do with things clipping and not fitting properly.

Depends entirely on your rig to how well it will run / what settings you can use. What have you got?

I'm playing on Very High Pre-set, PhysX ON, 16X AF, SSAA X2, Motion Blur Low and I get around 70-90FPS in game so far.

Specs
i5 3750K 4.6Ghz|16Gb 2200Mhz RAM| SLI GTX670 WF 1280Mhz/1880 Mem Clock| Samsung S27A750D 1080p|

Running the Benchmark I get:

sorry to hijack. ive just started playing metro 2033 in a hope to progress to this game.

can you recommend me the optimal drivers and graphics settings for me using a 580 lighting xtreme 3gb @ 900 mhz and a i7 920 @ 3.8GHZ?
 
Just set everything to the highest (you have a decent card) and turn things down from there if you experience FPS issues.

Also get the latest drivers.
