Crossfire 7950s for Metro last light?

Solution


Yeah if you get it to around 3.6-3.8Ghz it should help a lot. I wouldn't dare try Last Light on my i3 :)

It won't matter since Metro devours cards. But seriously I still find it hard that you will max it out even though you definitely should with those cards.

Hey thanks for the reply man. I watched a video of a dude getting anywhere from 40-60fps with 2 7950s. I don't want 40 though I want 60 full time lol. With my one card it seems I can either set it to normal mode and SSAAx2 or Very high and no SSAA or .5 SSAA (don't know if that even does anything). And I'll get like 50-60fps most of the time. I mean I can play it the way it is and still enjoy it but I really want to be able to throw any game on this rig and max it out without a care.

Also right now shadows is a problem for me in every game. I think it's my cpu i7 920 2.6ghz.

Crysis 3- Very high settings and good AA. (only shadows gave me issues). Same with Bioshock Infinite and Tomb raider.

I can't turn down the damn shadows in Metro as there is no option to do so so I can't even tell if it's the shadows or something else.

It is definitely possible that it is the shadows. I don't have Crysis 3 but I know games like Skyrim really hits a system when shadows are turned all the way up.

Yep the shadows do that in pretty much every game. my friend is going to OC the CPU. People told me thats what I should do because 2.6ghz is pretty slow. Hopefully that helps with the shadows. But Metro last light is just Brutal.

Actually at normal its really not that bad I mean for the most part I'm at 50-60fps. It only drops lower in certain situations like right now I'm standing in front of my rail car that has massive high beams so some serious lighting can drop the fps but most of the time I'm at 50-60 and that's with the core at 925. I can set it to 1100. So in fact it's actually pretty good. I don't see much difference from normal to very high settings but if I turn off the SSAAX2 I see a huge decrease in visuals.
