Something wrong with the card or driver issues?
corei7 3770k, sapphire 7970 oc dual x. corsair cx 750. NO OC.

 

Same here + slowdowns when this happens.

7870 no matter what settings.


I think it's an amd thing

 

have you tried turning down shadow quality?

 

NO, but works in dx9.

 

Your frame rate looks pretty smooth. But damn those flashing shadows are weird.

Try one by one.

1) Lower shadow quality one notch down > test > repeat, lower again > test

2) Lower lighting quality such as AO, Dynamic Lighting, stuff like that > test > repeat.

Also, make sure you try and disable "subsurface formats" in CCC as sometimes this can cause issues like this.

 

Low GPU usage for me, and one BSOD had to restart my PC.

 

But if that was a driver issue how come you don't get it? My frame rates are horrible, that's not my video.

 

I also get low gpu usages.

 

I have seen this before in other games with my 5850. Not sure what causes it though. Seems like it usually gets fixed with a driver update.

 

I am having an pretty good experience with my old HD5970.

I assume I was a bit skeptic about this "TWIMTBP" game but, it happened to be quite friendly with my HD5970. I have no artifacts nor flickers.

Of course it is not perfect by any means. Do you remember that nVIDIA stunt with Crysis 2 tessalation applied in the most useless places just to stress AMD cards? Well, I may be wrong but, I have the feeling something similar is happening here. In the levels with rail tracks, I really have to turn Tessalation OFF. Yeah, I know my card tessalator is sh*ty but, nevertheless, I can use Normal Tessalation in pretty much every other environments.

I was also seeing a bit of micro-stutter (and we all know the fuss around this issue lately), but disabling ULPS helped in a noticeable way.

So, I'm playing @1080p, Very High, SSAA x0.5, Normal Tessalation, Normal Blur, AF x16 and Advanced PhysX through my GTS 250 which btw, is handling Metro LL PhysX quite well, I'm impressed actually, specially after Borderlands 2 results. And I'm getting 40+ MINIMUM FPS with both GPUs scaling up to 85% at pick with v-Sync OFF. Using Catalyst 13.4.

 

I do get horrid shadow flickering. I submitted report to AMD, hopefully they will release driver that will run this game correctly.

I am not surprised that it works on HD 5XXX series without an graphical corruption. I had no issues with Metro 2033 on my old HD 5870. However, I do get flickering from light sources at Market and smoke corruption at Armory with my current card HD 7970 in Metro 2033.

 

To fix stutter and to play smooth, in option i choose normal for tessellation and SSAA off,and all in very high..

 

SSAA 0.5x actually halves your selected screen resolution, 1.5x would have been a 50% increase compared to 2.0x

 

Before completely disabling tesselation you may try to create driver profile/RP profile for game with tesselation limited to 2x. You get at least some of it while preventing game from overloading your gpu.

 

Yeah, I was playing around with the game settings and CCC profiles and I found out the best setting for my system in CCC Tessalation is x16.

Also, the SSAA visual impact in the graphcis quality was just not worthy the stress it was putting in both GPU and memory. I turned it off without second thoughts.

With this tweaks, I now can set Tessalation to "Very High" and keep the minimum frame rates above 40FPS.

Resolution: 1080p
Quality: Very High
SSAA: Off
AF: x16
Tessalation: Very High (CCC profile @ x16)
Blur: Normal

I am very. very pleased with the results. The gaming is fluid, smooth and the micro-stutter is imperceptible (i'm assuming the stutter exists but, is happening in the 2-5ms interval, so short my eyes can't see it).

Thanks for the tips.

 

I haven't purchased the game yet. Can any one provide me the benchmark results for HD7850.

 

shadows disco, they party too

 

I also got low GPU usage. If I set everything to very high in Eyefinity I got both cards @ max 68%, with lower settings in eyefinity it goes down to 24% :wanker:. WHY?

FPS are around 15...25 no matter what settings I choose with Eyefinity (5760x1080, Max 2.5 Gig of VRAM is used).

hier they clame a lot of issues with AMD GPU's

 

runs at constant 60 fps without stuttering here at 2560x1440 everything on maximum, ssaa/physx off using 13.4 drivers.

 

Sounds like a DX11 driver bug, what Catalyst version are you using? Are you using 13.4 or the 13.5 betas?
