Metro2033 FPS Help

Hey,

After some pointers on improving my FPS in Metro, I cant get above 25-28FPS.

Running GTX 470, i7 980x, Win7 x64 @ 1920x1200, ive tried it in dx9,dx10 & dx11 modes on high and very high settings with no AA which I should be able to play at above 30fps right?

Nvidia drivers are up to date as are physx, any ideas?

Thanks

Tesselation and FOV apparently kill it.

Even on dx10 @ 1680x1050 with no Tesselation or FOV it's 28fps

Runs great on high on my laptop and its only a c2d 2.8 with 280M and 4 gig of ram. I dont play it on high since it does stutter a bit sometimes, so i play it on medium. No problems.
Probably set to dx9 or 10.

Make sure you've got Vsync disabled, from what I gather it's a very demanding game on high settings so chances are it can't sustain 60fps (or whatever your refresh rate is).

Odd thing is is that my computer is less hot on high than normal setting... go figure. Its also very hard to notice the difference between high and normal in dx9. Not tried dx10 so dont know about that side of things.

Stunning game, glad i read the book first.

You should be getting more frames than that, especially with running the game at dx9 / 10. Should run slightly better on nvidia cards, too.

Yeah that seems a bit low, I can keep 40+ FPS on medium with my GTX280.

Have you tried doing some of these?

Ok thanks guys, got it at 45fps on 1680x1050 on dx9/high. That will do the job, seems like a cool game

Will try those modifications thanks Calneon

I run it on dx9 very high settings. Found that dx10 on high caused too much stutter. Although the game does have a few problems with very load fps in some areas that are demanding and crashing for no reason.
